WASHINGTON, June 1S.-The Secretary
of the Treasury has written to the general
appraisers at New York, Boston, Philadel-
phia and Baltimore instructing them with a.
view of securing uniformity of apprsise-
ments and classification of imported mer-
chandise. to require appraisers to daily for
ward to them samples Of all textile and:
other goods of which samples can be
taken, and which have not been exam

facturer, il eStainsbie the shipper, the i'm

In the steerage, hewever, he was restrict
ed to weekly visits to his trunk, always
in the presence of officers of the ship or
other passengers, so that It was impossi.
bic for him to remove evidence OF his
crime without exciting suspicion. As the
Pacific mail steamer Zelandia, on which
officers Tracy and Badger will arrive at
Auckland, takes five days to reach Sydney
remains at Sydney fourteen days, and
again consumes five days on the
trip from Sydney to Auckland, this gives
the detectives twenty-four days in which
to get extradition papers approved
by the local courts. The conduct
of Justice Smith in overriding the OBJ
jections of Maxwell's counsel shows
that he will not allow the ends OF
Justice to be defeated by any legal tee
nicalIty, and it may be counted as NOR
ally certain that the murderer will be
brought back on the Zelandia, which Is
due in this city about September lst.
The New Zealand Herald said, editori-
ally, on the day after the arrest of
Maxwell: "The murder at st. Louis,

Evans and Mr.. Herman Winters do not de-
sire another trial trip to satisfy them that
the ship is bad. Not one of them believes
her to be seawOrthy. Even on her first
trial in the smooth waters of Long Island

weakness. 1t turns out that she did not
make the required fifteen knots even in an
alleged successful third trial trip on. the,
sound. The design Of the ship, cOnSid-
cred as q dispatch boat, is absurd.
She can't make speed and can not defend
herself. The only Use for a gun on such
ships is for the fore and aft fire, and yet
her siX-inch gun can shoot i'm neither Of
these directions. She can not fire at the
vessel which >he may be pursuing nor at

der to DO either she would be obliged to
send her ball through the small hamlet of
