WAsHINeToN, July 25.-The treasury
department 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 & Co.
from decision of the collector of customs
at New York assessing a duty of thirty
cents per pound on recent impOrtaaions of
that merchandise, which they claimed to
be dutiable at the rate of ten cents Der
pound. Ii appears from the special report
OF the United States appraiser that the
M rchandise consists of so-called wooIen
waste. which had been gsrnetted or put
through some process by which il is prac.
lcslly restored to the condition of uDmsn-

ST. PAUL, July 26.-RObert Harris. of
New York, chairman of the executive
committee OF the board of directors Of the

said: Relative to the July meeting in
New York We hsve not yet decided Just
what we shall do. but the desired end may
be reached by the formation of the North

operate in this way: For instance, if
money was wanted for the improvement of
the Tacoma terminus a company might be
organized which we will call the Tacoma
Terminal company. Bonds would be is

other hand. the Northern Pacific collateral

those referred to are issued they could be
put into trust collateral and bonds OF trust
offered for sale. Its name would carry
weight with it and the process would be
much simpler.

BUTTE, July 26.-fSpecial TO the Inde-
pendent AT an early hour this morning
q IRE broke out in a stable owned by VIM.
Thomson, situated on South Jackson street,
/ Just east of the Stevens mine. The stable
In which the fire caught was on the east
side of Jackson, the third door below
/ Mercury. The next adjoining building on
the north was also 8 stable, owned by VIM
Thompson Ii speedily caught FIRE, and
was consumed The building on the cor
ner was 9 two-stOry frame building, owned
by Mr.. Thompson This was damaged to
the extent of about $500. Next door
TO this was a frame building owned
sad occupied by Frank IngersolI.
This was badly scOrched and damaged to
the extent of several hundred dollars,
which is fully covered by insurance. Next
door south of the stable where the fire
started Charles F. Lang had just completed
q new one-story frame house at the cost of
5000. This was entirely destroyed. Mr..
Lang had no insurance. Mr.. Thompson
was also uninsured, and his loss will
amount to Sl,5O0. The heaviest loss Was
sustained by Jack Davis tesmster, engaged
in hauling ore. He had twelve horses in
the stable which caught fire. The speed OF |
the flames was so rapid that Mr.. |
Davis was unable ~ get but two |
of his horses out Two others broke loose
and got out, but one Of them was so badly |
burned that be will have to be killed.
Eight horses belonging 10 Mr. Davis were
burned 10 3 crisp and q lot of harness, etc,
destroyed. HIS loss will not be less than
So 600 and no insurance. A horse belong
ing to Architect Chevigny was also in the
stable and burned to death. The animal
was worth 500. The total loss by the fire
is 81, 900, only $500 of which is covered by
Insurance. As to the origin of the
lire nothing is kOwn. FROM
he hour at which the fire started IL is
believed to have been incendisry. The
ire broke out in the hay loft, and, as no
Dne belonging to the stable had been there
or some hours it could scarcely have been
accidental. Some tramps sleeping in the
oft might have fired it from a pipeor cigar
n the hay but the losers are inclined TO
hink the stable was fired Intentionally. A /
mail house on the Stevens, about zoo feet
ast of the mine, was also destroyed. The :
