MUST BE CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES
The solicitor of the Treasury has given an
opinion to the Secretary Of the Treasury that
the laws regulating the appraisement of i'm
ported merchandise require that merchants
who are selected as reappraising officers,
whether to be associated with the general ap-
praiser or not, shall be citizens of the United
States. The Secretary has acguiesced in this
opinion, and customs officers have been in
structed to act in accordance Herewith. This
ruling will make change in the practice pre-
vailing at the port Of New York the collector
at that port held that the law did not REQUIRE
merchant appraisers selected to act with the
general appraiser to be citizens of the United
States

Judge Hannen Says the Authority OF
the Parnen Court Must be Upheld.
LONDON, Nov. 21.-At the meeting Of the Par
nell commission to-day Mr.. Reid, counsel fol
Mr.. Edward Harrington, stated that Mr. Har
rington did not choose to adopt the course he
had advised in relation to the article abusing
the commission which had appeared in Har
rington's paper, the Kerry Sentinel. Therefore
he (Reid) was not in position to say any
thing.
Presiding Justice Hannen asked Mr.. Harrinp
ton If he had anything to say.
MIR. Harrington replied that he had no state.
ment to make except that he would accept re.
spOnsibility for what appeared in his paper.
The judges retired, and Mr.. Harrington con.
versed unconcernedly with his brother Timothy
until their return. In ten minutes the judges
reappeared, and Judge Hannen said that he re-
GREETED that Mr.. Harrington had refused to
adopt MIR. Reids advice. 1t would be wasting
words to indicate how serious was the contempt

things must be stopped. He then fined Mr..
Harrington f5O0.

secretary of a branch Of the league, was re-
ceived by her father, requesting him to attend
meeting. Her father did not go to the meet
ing. After this incident the peoples demeanor
toward her father changed, and he obtained
police protection. Witness gave in detail the

father while he was on his way to attend the
1istowel fair in Januarys
On cross-examnation witness stated that her
father and uncle had disagreed respecting the
farm on which her father resided. and the
people sided with her uncle. She knew that
the league had been suppressed in County
Kerry.
Counsel for the Parnelites here read an ar
ticle published in the Kerry Sentinel condemn
ing the murder of Fitzmaurice and regretting
that the league had been suppressed and the
beneficial effects which arose from the organi-
cation had been lost

BUFFALO, Nov. 21.-Chief Bell of the govern
ment secret service, with several of his men,
has for the past few days been closing in around
a gang Of counterfeiters who have been max
ing bogus money of kind that was almost i'm
possible to detect, in dollars and half-dollars
None but experts have thus far been able to tell
the spurious money from the genuine, and only
after 1t has been carried some time, when the
coin begins to turn black, can its true value be
discovered. Large quantities Of the spurious
coin have been circulated in Erie, Pa, Warren,
Pa, Oil City, Pa. and jamestown Some of the
stuff also reached Buffalo Seven of the gang
are under arrest. The authorities thought it
best to separate them and put them in differ
ent jaiIs.
Squire" Richardson, one of the men whom it
is alleged attended to the manufacture Of the
money, was brought to Buffalo last evening
and taken to the Erie county Jail. Richardson
is fully 60 years of age, and it is thought he
will ''squeal' on the whole party More ar
rests are expected. The prisoners are scatter
ed in different county jails in New York and
Pennsylvania. The names Of the, others are
