WASHINGTON CRY, July G. The secretary
of the treasury has issued circular tc
customs officers, informing them that al
charges previously required to be added tc
the market value of imported merchandise
in estimating dutiable value were abro-
gated by the act of March s. 1888, and thai
such charges can no longer be considered
by customs officers as factors in
the ascertainment and assessment Of
duties. The actual foreign market
value must be ascertained. The circular
also states that it is the sole province of the
appraising officers to ascertain such actual
market value or Wholesale price of imported
merchandise in the foreign markets, and
that importers who may feel aggrieved or
dissatisfied with their action, from what.
ever cause have speedy and efficacious
remedy by appeal to rsappraisers. The de.
partment cannot pass upon cases where i'm.
porters neglect TO avail themselves of such
remedy, for, under the law, the question OF
dutiable value is question of fact which
can only be determined by the appraising
officers Of the government

PHALLAS WINS.
Mr.. Cases Stallion Defeats Msxey
Cobb In the Great Race at
Cleveland.

CLEVELAND, July 8.-Ten thousand
people witnessed the race between Maxey
Cobb and Phallas at the Cleveland driv-
ing park Saturday afternoon. The COM
bat between the stallion kings did not
prove as exciting as was anticipated from
the enormous wagers that were laid and
the previous record of the horses. Pool
selling was quite brisk. 1t opened at even
money, but an hour afterwaId Cobb had
receded, and before the first heat Phallas
had steady call at odds of to 90. AT
ter the first heat Phallas sold for $50 to
Cobbs $40 and the betting stopped. The
eastern and Chicago men backed Cobb,
and the big winning went to the Phallas
party and the local and PIttsburg betting
men. l. Cohenfleld, Cobb's owner, is
said to have lost $1,000. The race was
called at o'clock, and at 2'40 the horses
got off, after Phallas had delayed start
by breaking at the wire, evidently
for the purpose of firing Maxey.
Cobb got the worst of the start
by a length. but Murphy hooded for
the word. For three quarters it was a
follow the leader race, with Phallas in
front. Rounding into the stretch, whips
were pulled out and a bruising race home
saw Phallas a winner by a scant half a
length. The second heat was great one.
Phallas got off ahead, but as the furlong
was reached Murphy sent Maxey up, and
the two horses trotted to the half so thai
blanket could cover them in LOG. But
here Phallas went ahead as if shot out Of
a gun, and came home an easy winner iI
2:15a. As Cobb quit Enthusiastically, the
Dictator blood showed its superiority ovel
the Happy Medium and what was sus
pected was proven, as Cobb certainly
stopped much more wided than Phallas
The third heat was a procession. They
got off in line, but Phallss led by length
at the furlong. and never lost an inch o.
that lead. Maxey got severe whipping
as he came home, but did not move bi
faster for it. Cobb wore an eleven ounc
shoe with three ounce weights, Will
Phallas was shod with seventeen
ounces before and eight behind, with n
weights. The race was for the $50
purse only. and part of the gate money
This is denied by the principals, but it

were perfect, and the time none too goo
for the conditions, but there is no dout
that the race was run on its merits.

The Late Amendments.

WASHINGTON CITY, July 6-Mr. Steven
sons appointment to succeed Mr.. Hay was
SO well known Friday that nothing remains
to be said about it. Democrats who do not
like to be obliged to mahe charges
against postmasters in order to
get them out are inquiring
whether he is likely to maintain the
policy of Mr.. Hay, but of course this is an
idle question, for Mr.. Hay simply pursued
the policy of the president and the post
master general, and Mr.. Stevenson will not
undertake any other policy. One of his
friends said the selection was good one,
because MIR. Stevenson was in accord with
that policy.
Ex-Congressman Lamb has been ap-
pointed United States attorney for Indiana,
to succeed Charles Holstsin, removed for
activity on the Republican side in the late
presidential campaign, on charges preferred
by Mr.. Lamb. The present mar
shall is just as offensive a par
tisan as the late Republican district
attorney, and il Ed Hawkins would pre-
fer Charges of political activity against the
marshal q change would probably be made
at once. But Mr.. Hawkins says he would
rather wait till next fall than try to get the
present marshal out on grounds of par
tsanship He says he believes he is
just as much partisan on his
side as theS Republican marshal is
on the other side. and be will not
make charges or ask for a removal on any
other ground than that the incumbent is a
Republican and ought to be a Democrat.
Congressman Matson, Lowry, Ward and
Kleiner, of Indiana, and Mr.. Kidd, who
will contest Congressman Steele's seat and
Mr.. Lamb are here. There are very few
other Indiana people in the city.

The Senate to Insist on a "Pizenous" In.
depreciation of the Offensive Parti-
zanship" Principle-Hay and Lamb
-Blaine's Future Position.

DETROIT, July 6.-Senator Conger, who
has been in Washington most of the time
since March 4, has been inter viewed as to
what course the Republican senators ara
likely to take in respect to appointments
made by President Cleveland during the re-
cess OF congress. He said that they had ex-
changed views among themselves, and to a
certain extent formulated plan in regard
to action upon nominations, and it might be
set down as pretty certain that they would
concede the presidents absolute right to
name men OF his own choosing to fill offices
where terms have expired and offices in any
way connected with the policy of the ad-
ministration But the senate is entitled not
only to consent to appointments, but to ad-
wise In regard to them; and in pur ce of
this right, where removals from purely
business offices have been made during the
recess, Republican senators will make care
ful inquiry into the causes of such removals
1t Is due to such officers and their friends
that this should be done. When man has
left his private business and accepted an
appointment under the government, he has
a right to expect to retain the Office il he at
tends strictly to its affairs, as long, at least,
as congress has repeatedly expressed its
opinion that term Of office should be-that
is four years
The Offensive partisanship" question will
certainly be raised in the senate 1t will be
something like this: What has the person
removed done to make him an offensive par
tisanl Has he done more than to exercise his
rights as an American citizen" IL these
questions are answered by the statement
that he has acted on Republican committees
and been largely instrumental in keeping
the Republican party in power, then ques-
tions viii be asked and investiga-
tons made concerning the man
who is appointed in his place. Has
he acted on Democratic committees, and
has he been an offensive partisan on the
Democratic side, the same as the man re-
moved has been on the Republican, If the
senate finds this state of things exist they
will probably refuse to confirm. There will
probably be no antagonism except in cases
of this kind. But there may be.

WASHINGTON CITY, July cit is expected
shat the forthcoming annual report of the
postmaster general will contain recon-
mendation for a l-cent postage. For
number of years past leading
men in both houses of congress
have advocated the l-cent postage idea,
but the department has strenuously opposed
it on the ground that the deficit would be SO
great that the government could not afford
it. Col Villas, it is understood, will view
the subject from broader standpoint Hi,
ar gument is that it viii be better to reduce
postage to such minimum that even the
poorest can afford the luxury of the mails,
than to keep on adding to the enormous sur.
plus in the treasury vaults.
