WASHINGTON, July 25.-Rev. DR.. Dor

has returned from twoa months tour of in
spection among the Indian schools in the
West. At the Chilocco school, in the
Indian Territory, the Indian boys. with
the assistance of two white farm
ers, are eutivating this year. 225
acres of corn, ninety acres of wheat
twenty acres of potatoes, besides smaller
acreages of other crops. In some of the
schools visited DR.. Dorchester said that
the instructors and others in authority
were inefficient and altogether improper
persons to till the important positions
which they occupied. He said that in Sc
lecting instructors he would be governed
by one consideration only. and that would
be fitness. Politics would not figure in
their selection in the least degree.

GARNETTED WOOL WASTE.
1t Is Dutiable at the Rate Of Thirty Cents q
Pound, and Must Re So Assessed.

IT IL Dutiable at the Rate Of Thirty Cents q
Pound, and Must Re So Assessed.
WASHINGTON, July 25-The Treasury De-
partment to-day decided an interesting
question in regard to the classification of
so-called garnetted wool waste. The ques-
ton arose on an appeal by j. Wild Il Co.
from the decision of the collector of Gus
toms at New York assessing duty at 80
cents per pound on a recent importation of
that merchandise, which they claimed to
be dutiable at the rate of 10 cents per
pound. 1t appears from the special report
of the United States appraiser that the
merchandise consists of sO-called wooden
waste, which has been garnetted or put
it is practically restored to the
condition of unmanufactured secured
wool of the first class. In a letter to the
collector acting Secretary Batchellor says
that the question as to the classification of
merchandise of this character was decided
. by the department on the Goth of October,
1887, and it was then, as 1T was on the 18th
of July. 1887 held that wooden waste which
may have been broken up and put through
the garnetting-machine, whereby it be-
comes practically secured WOOL was dutia-
bic at the rate prescribed for secured WOOL
that is to say, when on the first class and
costing under SO cents per pound in the un-
washed condition. at duty of 80 cents per
pound as assessed by you. The collectors
decision in the case In question Is therefore
affirmed.
The appraising officers recently in con-
ference in New York considered the gener-
al question as to the proper classification of
sO-called garnetted, carbOnated or other
similar wool wastes, and have reported to
the Treasury Department that in their
opinion any process of manufacture where
by the value and character of refuse ar
tfcle such as waste of wool, have been
changed or enhanced, and it's identity as q
waste or worthless substance destroyed so
that in fact it becomes secured wool, 1t no
longer belongs to the category of waste,
but should be classified as secured. The
report says that 1.-The so-called garnetted
and carbonated waste have under
gone a very decided process of manufact-
ure: their value has been increased to
within trihe of the value of wool ITSELF;
their appearance is made so closely to re-
semble the actual article as to deceive even
experts. and by All admixture of the manu-
featured article with the natural wool their
purposes of use are identically the same,
and should. in the opinion Ofthe appraisers.
be classified for duty at the same rate as
the wool from which they come and which
they so closely resemble.
The acting Secretary informs the col
lector that these views are In accord with
the rulings of the department above men
toned, and seem to be correct and proper.
