DRIEBUND TREATY.
Premier Rudini Interviewed Regard
Ing the Triple Alliance


Ing the Triple Alliance.
ROME, April 13.-Premier,Di Rudini,in
an interview to-day in regard to the
Driebund held that renewal of the
triple alliance was of secondary import
ance as compared with the Constant
agreement with England
On many occasions, said the Premier.
the policy of the Driebund harmonized
perfectly with the British ideas, vet Lord
Salisbury, for special reasons, had never
adhered to the Driebund treaty. Italy's
renewal of her contract with the alliance
depended on the general situation in
Europe, which was now changing every
day.
1t was difficult to imagine that England
and Italy would remain passive while
war was being waged by Russia and
France against Germany and Austria.
even if the Driebund did not exist.
IsRudini declared that France. despite
her excessive ornaments, would never
alone wage a war of aggression while the
Drlepund continued to act as the safe
guard of Europe. In view of the prevail
ing temper in France, it was perfectly
idle to discuss the question of the disso-
luton of the Driebuud.

THE TARIFF ACT.
Important Ruling Relating to Duties
on Mixed Goods.

Important Ruling Relating to Duties
on Mixed Goods.
WASHINGTON, April 13.-The United
States Supreme Court to-day affirmed the
judgments of the Circuit Courts of Illinois
and New York, in the customs cases of
Seeberger, Collector of Customs at
Chicago, against Farwen and others, and
Magone, Collector of New York, against
Edward Luckmeyer, regarding the proper
rate of duty under the Act of 1888 ON inn
portations of wooden dress goods in which
a very slight amount of cotton is mixed,
in order to lower the classification of the
goods.
The Tariff Act of 1888 provided that
dress goods composed in part only of
wool should pay duty of five cents per
yard and 35 per cent. ad valorem and
where composed wholly of wool should
pay cents per yard and 40 per cent. ad
valorem. Importers, so as to secure a
lower classification, introduced from 2 to
6 per cent. of cotton into the warp of the
goods. Evidence showed the cotton
could not be detected except on very
expert inspection, and that it cost as
much if not more to manufacture goods
with these cotton threads than if made
wholly Of wool.
The Collector according imposed the
duty under the classification for all
wooden goods. The lower courts held.
and this court sustained their decisions.
that as Congress did not make any pro-
vision as to what amount of cotton must
be in the goods in order to secure lower
duty, the importers had a right to
mix any quantity OF cotton, no matter
how small, in order to secure lower
rates.
Justice Blatchford read the opinion,
and Justices Brown and Gray dissented.
The court in the case of L. p. Mason
and others against Robertson, Collector,
held that bichromate of soda is dutiable
at 25 per cent. ad valorem, and not at
three cents per pound, under the provsi-
ions for bichromate of potash, as held by

probability the military on taking pos

on the first of May, would be given in
structions TO remove the settlers who,
according TO the recent decision of the

reservation unlawfully. This. according
to his estimate, will affect about four
titths of the members of the kaweah Col
Ony.
He added that possibly the colonists
would be given orders to remove about

a hardship and they want one or two
months time, the department would be
inclined to give it to them, as above all
things, it is desired to extend them as

same time protect the park.

replied Parks are not for agricultural

The rights of those making homestead
entries in the park reservation will soon

they be found there legally, it is thought
that the Secretary of the Interior will rec
