Discussing Customs Administration.

WASHINGTON CITY, Jan. 25-The house
put in yesterday considering McKinley's Gus
toms administration bill The principal
fight was over the amendment requiring
goods, against the classification of which an
appeal has been taken, to remain in govern
ment custody until the appeal is decided.
Mills opposed it because, he said, if the i'm
porter got his goods and sold them he put
on the higher duty; then if he won the suit
he pocketed the difference, taking money
from the taxpayer with one hand, and from
the government with the other Carlisle op-
posed 1t because it was a hardship on the
honest importer only, as the dishonest i'm
porter did not SO into court. The laws
should be made so plain as to prevent wrong
classification. The amendment was defeated,
Some little progress was made with the bill,
and the house adjourned.
