CANNOT SUE THE COLLECTOR.
Mr.. Cray's Amendment to the Gus
toms Bill Defeated.


WASHINGTON, May LIN the Senate to-
day, Mr. ingalls,, at the request of the Wage
Workers Alliance, introduced bill to abol-
isb local taxation; referred. The customs
administrative bill was taken up, the pend,
ing question being on Mr., sGray's amend
ment securing to an aggrieyed importer the
right to bring common law suit against
a collector The matter was discussed by
Messrs. Evarts and Gray, large portion of
their remarks being directed against the po-
sition taken yesterday by Mr.. Hiscock, to
the effect that in regard to such revenue
matters there should be no jury trials.
Mr.. Hiscock reminded the Democratic side
of the house that similar bill to that pend
ing had been approved by the Democratic
passed by the unanimous vote of the Demo
Gratis. The bill, he said. was not inspired by
those importers, or rather those exporters
who lived in foreign countries, manufac-
their own agents in New York, but was
framed to protect American importers and
American manufacturers against such de-
vices. The bill had been clamored for by
the honest importers of the city of New
York. Mr.. Hiscock declared that Mr.. Gray's
amendment would defeat the object of the
bill and strike at its purposes. He was will
ing to have the bill provide for jury trial
under certain conditions. II have consulted
with several members of the committee who
are entirely willing that the following pro-
vision shall be incorporated in the law" said
he. The amendment was to insert the
words "And the said court, in its discre-
tioD, may receive additional evidence, and
may in its discretion send difficult questions
of fact for trial to jury"
Mr.. Call argued in support of Mr.. Gray's
amendment, preferring it to the one suggest
ed by Mr.. Hiscock.
Mr.. Evarts said he accepted the modifca-
tion suggested by his colleague.
Mr.. Vest expressed his astonishment at
the position taken by the two Senators from
New York, and went on to quote some. Of
their statements yesterday to prove their in
consistency. Mr.. Hiscock argued yesterday,
he said, against the very proposition he
made today, and Mr.. Evarts had given away,
substantially, the right of trial by jury for
which he so ably contended yesterday.
After further discussion, Mr. Allison
moved to lay Mr. Gray's amendment on the
table which was agreed to by party vote.
The Senate, at o'clock tomorrow, will pro-
ceed to vote on the bill. After short ex-
ecutlve session the Senate adjourned.

0uICKSILYER.

One of the new features of the census is the collecting of facts concerning the pro- duction of quicksilver in this country It is the first time that these facts have been collected. Nearly all the quicksilver pro duced in this country is obtained in Cali fornia and the metal is obtained by mining the cinnabar ore and extracting the mer- cury by fire. About twenty fiasks, less than S1 ,000 in value, were produced last year in Oregon, and little in Utah; but made up of California returns. In all there are eleven quicksilver mines named as producing yields exceeding in value $1, 900. Most of the mines yield much larger amount, the average cost of getting out a flask of the clear metal being about $33. Of course, the chief item in the cost is the wages of the workmen. Eleven establishments employ 961 working peo- pie Gncluding limited number of China men), at wages averaging about S2 pel day, to those working above ground, and a little more to those down in the mines the Chinamen getting decidely the low, est
