THE TARIFF BILL IN COURT.
A Claim that Speaker Reeds DecisiOE
 Invalidates 1t.

Invalidates It.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-Proceedings were brought in the United States Circuit Court which will call forth from the bench an opinion upon the legality of Speaker Reeds ruling on the subject of quorums. They are brought by the importing firm of Ballin, Joseph & Co.,, and involve the legality of the imposi- ton of duties at the rate of 35 cents pound and 35 per cent. ad valorem on 6 consignment of cloths which arrived in this port July 10 by the steamer City of Richmond. Under the admin istrative act the appraisers taxed it as above, holding that it consisted ot woolens, instead of taxing it as mAnu- facturss of worsted.
 The contention is made by the peti- tioning importers that they come under the provisions of March 8, 1883, which placed the tax at IS cents and 24 cents a pound, according to grade, and 35 per cent. ad valorem. It Is set forth in the papers that the Mckinley administra- tive act classifying worsted cloths as woolens is of no force, as 1t was never passed according to law, there being no quorum in Congress when it was said to have been passed.
 Judge Lacombe granted an order re- quiring the appraisers of the port to file in court all the documents upon which they base their action in enforc- ing the duty complained of by the petitioners

GRESHAM OR NOBLE
The Leaders for the Supreme
 Court Vacancy.
Ex-coNGREssMAN BAKER'sv1s1T
RumOr Has it that He Was Sent for by
 the President.

Secretary NOble's Friends Confident of His
 Appointment - AttOrney-GeneraI Mill
 ler's Name Also Mentioned for the
 POsitiOn-A Circular About the Anti
 Lottery Law-AttOrneys Instructed.
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.- The gossip about the possible successor of Asso- ciate Justice Miller has been revived by the presence here of ex-Congressman John H. Baker of Goshen, Ind. It seems to be accepted as a fact that he was sent for by the President, and that his visit is in relation to the vacancy on the Supreme Bench.
 Rumor has it that the proposition unfolded to him by the President was the appointment of Judge Gresham to the Supreme Bench, the elevation of Judge William A. Wood of Indianapolis to the circuit judgsship, and the ap- pointment of MT. Baker to the district Bench for Indiana.
 Mir. Baker was one of the delegates to the convention~ that nominated Gen. Harrison for the Presidency, and was also one of the committee appointed by the Chicago Convention of 1884 to notify MT. Blaine of his nomination. He is an influential party man, and is the only Republican from Indiana who supported Gen. Harrison at Chicago who has not been rewarded in some manner by the present Administrs- tion.
 Secretary Noble's friends are not daunted by this apparent boom to Judge Gresham and insist that the St. Louis man will succeed Justice Miller. Notwithstanding the bold front of Noble's friends and the claims of savaral lesaer candidates not to man ton Attorney-G General Miller, Judge Gresham is certainly in the lead to-day in the estimation of Washington on- lockers

AttOrney-General Miller's Circular to
 United States Attorneys.
 WASHINGTON, Oct. go. - Attorney General Miller has sent a circular to all United States attorneys, calling at tention to the act of Congress approved September 19, 1890, entitled, "an act to amend certain sections of the revised statues relating to lotteries and for other purposes" with the suggestion that they carefully examine the same and spare no effort in its enforcement. He says:
 Every violation of this law, either by an individual or a corporation, in the dissemination of lottery literature, or in any other way, should be brought to the attention of the grand jury, and wherever indictments are found vigor- ous prosecutions should follow, to the end that this nefarious business may be suppressed. In the enforcement of this law there should be hearty CO., operation on the part of the District Attorneys, the United States Marshals and the postoffioe inspectors"
 Similar instructions have been sent Do United States Marshals.
