FoRGER CAPTURED.

at Virginia City.

Harry ). Edwards, the Forger, Captured
at Virginia City.
VIRGINIA CITY, November 27th.-Harry
S. Edwards, wanted in San Francisco on
charges of forgery, was arrested here to-day
on description sent out by detective
agency. When placed under arrest he
gave the name of Charles Newcombe, and
had registered twice at the International
Hotel here as Charles Thompson. Both the
signatures are in entirely different styles
of chirography, showing him to be an ex-
pert penman.
He denied being the person wanted, but
there is little doubt of his identity as he
answers the description in every detail,
even to the India-ink marks on his arm.
Edwards or Newcombe has been here
week. He spent coin freely, and patron
lied the faro games literally, but so far as
known was guilty of no infractions of the
law during his sojourn on the Comstock.
He will be held until taken into custody
by the San Francisco officers.

bullion each month, and free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver and gold on full and
equal privileges under the coinage laws.
After some discussion these resolutions
were recommitted for correction.
Calamity Weller, of Iowa, dissented
from the views of the other members Of the
committee and presented minority re-
port IN which he asked an Endorsement of
the Act of Congress of 1884, by which 6
per cent of material was taken out of the
gold dollar coin. Also an Endorsement of
the legislation which made the silver dollar
of 3S5 $40 grains, nine-tenths fine, an
equivalent OF 4124 grains nine-tenths fine, a
dollar before the law and in all Courts OF
record in limited payments.
After reading telegram from the Presi-
dent of the Industrial League at Washing
ton, urging the unlimited coinage of silver,
the Convention adjourned until tomorrow.

Benjamin Butler and One of His Con-
tingent Fees.
WASHINGTON, November 27th.-Samuel
Strong, whose claim against the District OF
Columbia has become almost historical, to-
day filed suit against Benjamin Butler for
S250,000 damages for SANDER. General
Butler brought suit several months ago
against Strong for money which he asserted
was due him as contingent counsel fees ont
OF the award made to Strong.
The suit developed some highly exciting
features. among which was the production
Of paper by Strong, which, if genuine,
would show that Butler had agreed to ac-
cept for his services an amount much lower
than that named in the suit. Butler de-
nounced the document as forgery, and
the suit for slander grows out of this.

WAsHiNGToN, July 25.-The treasury
department department to-day decided an
interesting question in regard to the
classification Of so called ~garnetted wool
waste. The question arose on an appeal
by j. Wild & Co. from a decision of the
collector of customs at New York assess
ing the duty at SOC per pound on a recent
importation of that merchandise which
they claimed to be dutiable at a rate of
l0c per pound. 1t appears from a special
report of the United States appraiser hat
that merchandise consists of SO called
wooden waste which has been garnetted or
put through some process by which it is
practically restored to the condition of
unmanutactured secured wool OF the first
class. In a letter to the collector Acting
Secretary Batchelder says the question as
to the classification of merchandise of this
character was decided by the department
on Oct. &c, 1887, and was then, MS it was
on July 10, 1887. held to be wooden waste
! which may have been broken up and put
through the garnettIng machine whereby
It becomes practically secured wool, that
is to say, when Gt the first class and cost
ing under Soc per pound IN its uG%ashed
condition, at a duty of 3Oc per pound as
assessed by you.
The collectors decision in the case in
question is therefore affirmed.
