RAGS WILL BE SHUT OUT.


Inconvenience Resulting TherefrOm TO
Paper Makers.
WASHINGTON, D. c., July 29.-Ever since
the national quarantine act was passed in 1878,
the treasury department has had power to re-
strict or prohibit the importation of rags when
ever the secretary of the treasury thought such
restriction or prohibition requisite to the good
health of the country. The secretary of the
treasury has exercised this power in every cpl
demic ear so as to prohibit the importation of
rags shipped from infected districts. This
year the terms of his order are broad enough
to shut out all rags suspected on good grounds
to be infected. This prohibition excludes
large cla"s of rags, and therefore embarrasses
the paper trade to q very considerable extent,
Every year the more influential paper stock
importers and paper manufacturers using rags
have endeavored to secure modification or
abrogation of the order of exclusion. Every
year the secretary of the treasury has refused
to modify the order until it was perfectly safe
to do 80. He will have to pass upon the same
question, and he will pass upon it In the same
way. Last year 1t was suggested by one of the
most prominent paper manufacturing firms
that it would be willing to establish q depot in
Egypt for disinfecting its rags If that would in
sure their admission on this side. This propo-
sition was satisfactory to the treasury DEPART
ment, which stipulated that the disnsecting
process should be appro we'd by our consul-gen-
eral in Egypt. The paper firm at once put up
buildings and expensive apparstQ in Cairo for
disinfectiDg its rags. This year it hoped to
utilize this process, but Congress abolished the
office of consul-general to Egypt, and so the
state department has no representative there
10 certify that the disinfection has been prop
erly made, and therefore the rags of this firm
are excluded with the rest. 1t is possible that
II the paper manufacturers and importers
would offer to disinfect the rags ia quarantine
in this country, the treasury department would
consider their proposition favorably.

THE NEW SHIPPING Law.
Hts Operations and tine Plan 10 Evade the
"Advance Wages Clause.
Special Despatch to the Boston Journal)

Special Despatch to the Boston Journal)
WASHINGTON, July 29.-The Baltimore Sun
says OF the operations of the new shipping law
aud the plan to evade the advance Wages"
clause:
So far as relating to Baltimore the Dingley ship
ping bill has worked with smoothness. There is
complaint among the boarding house keepers who
enJ yed this sort of protection that traders and
storekeepers enjoyed in this State before the passage
OF the attachment of wages law, and some of them
say they will have to go out of business. Every
seaman shipped through the United States Shipping
Commissioner signs for mo ADVANCE yet it is
known that those interested have SO fixed matters
as to get promises OF advance, certain number of
days after vessel has sailed. These advances were
in the shape of promissory notes signed by the
sailor. Whether they will hold good can only be
determined when the vessel has reached her final
port of discharge and the sailors admit the amounts
as value received" stated on the face of their
paper. test of the validity of these notes would
only result in the refusal of the sailor to recognize
them on the ground that he signed away money
which had not been earned, as suggested by the
bill. 1t is thought that far the "off-shore''
vessels are concerned there will be no disputing of
bills by sailors. In the crew of the baruue Mary
Hasbrouck, recently from Baltimore to New York,
were several men who gave their word to leave the
amounts of their indebtedness. with the captain,
who in turn to send it to their respective board
ing masters. When it came to settling the sailors
refused to accept reduction and received all due
them. Several other cases of this kind occurred
other vessels. Boarding house masters are receiv-
advance, or who have been inmates of their houses
and upon whom they can rely for payment. There
is now no organization among the boarding masters
as formerly, by which they regulated seamen's
wages and the amount Of advance to be paid.
The COmmissi0neP of Navigation.
Commissioner Patten of the Bureau of Navi-
CATION says that his Office will be in full
working order by Monday next, and that he
has under consideration the questions which
have arisen under the Dingley bill, but will
not be prepared to decide the points made for
several days. There is some question as to the
salary of the Commissioner. Congress fixed
his compensation, but failed to make the
necessary appropriation to pay him. The
clerks of the office will be taken from the
Bureau of Statistics and the Registers Office
OF the Treasury Department.
