TESTING TIE LAW.
Marshall Field g. Co. Contest the Constitu-

Marshall Field & Co. Contest the Constitu-
tionality of the New Tariff Law.
CHICAGO, Jan. 2.-Marshall Field &
Co., the well known dry goods men,
have begun suit in the United States
Circuit Court for the recovery of duties
paid under protest as levied under the
provisions of the Mckinley tariff bill.
They base their action On the ground of
the unconstitutionality of the act, and
say that they will carry the case to the
United States Supreme Court.
December 10 the firm paid Collector
John NJ. Clark the duties demanded on
certain dress goods, silk embroidery
and wooden wearing apparel. The Nc
Kinley bill made the duty on dress
goods A cents pound and so per cent
ad valorem, whereas, under the former
law it was IS cents 4 pound and 40 per
cent. ad valorem. The duty on the silk
was raised from so to go per cent. ad
valorem. and that on the wooden wear
ing apparel from 40 cents pound and
35 per cent. ad valorem to 901S cents a
pound and 60 per cent. ad valorem.
This particular importation was not
large, but sufficient to be made the
subject of a protest. Collector Clark
decided against the protest as, as a
purely collective official, he was forced
to do, and an appeal was made to the
board of appraisers in New York, which
was created by an act approved June 10,
entitled IAN act to simplify the laws in
relation to the collection of the rev.
enue." This board, in decision made
December IA, decided against Marshall
Field & Co.
After careful examination of the law
and after the compilation of authorities,
N. W. Bliss, the attorney for Marshall
Field & Co., informed the firm that an
action carried to the Supreme Court
would probably result in the defeat of
the Mckinley bill

On the subject of the apportionment

moment by the failure Of the
census office to have the official returns

ing of Congress. If the apportionment
bill which has passed the House of
Representatives should pass the Senate
and become law the apportionment
under the eleventh census would be
about two years earlier in time than
any heretofore made"

Western packing operations the past week
represent total of 140,00O hogs, compared
with 135, 900 the preceding week, and 215,-
600 last week; for corresponding period in
previous years: 1889, 10000; 1885, 100000;
1887, 145, 600; 1885, 13O, 600. From March
the total is $4,000, against 1850 last
year-decrease, $50, 900. Prices OF hogs
have not changed greatly during the week,
closing slightly lower than week ago for
the average for Western markets. The pro-
mitigation of information indicating that
Germany has removed its prohibitive
decree against American meats gave a
moderate stimulus to trade, but the imme-
date influence has not been of special i'm
portance.
The improved condition of the British
markets, and the better outlook for prices
of cotton in its effect upon the trade in the
South, have had a helpful influence upon
values. The advance made during the
week has not been maintained, the close for
leading articles being l2]l5@15 cents per 100
pounds for short rib sides and lard, and %
cents for pork, at Chicago, for October de-
livery, compared with week ago. The
iobbing inquiry for meats has been good,
and stocks have been greatly reduced in the

ing-His Two Loves.
Special to the Gazette.
New YORK, Sept. 15.-When Harry
Howard, accused of stealing from W. E.
Robinson, president Of the Capsule blueing
company, was arraigned in Harlem court
yesterday Mr.. Robinson was sure he had
stolen at least $500 from him, but no one
was present, he said. who had any per-
sonal knowledge of the amount taken by
the gay young actor. Howard was certain
that two women were clinging to him in ad-
versity. One was his second wife who
visited him at the station and tainted at
seeing him still prisoner. The other was
May Bell, the actress. She met him as he
came out of West One Hundred and
Twenty-six street station in custody of De-
tective Garman, and rode over to the court
with him. He spoke gaily and more or
less lovingly to her all the way across
town. Arriving at the court, Howard
found his wife awaiting him. He did not
seem over anxious to see her, although she
is by far the better-looking woman of the
two, but when she came over and spoke to
him he talked to her in about the same tone
he addressed toward May Bell. He was re-
manded to the police station by Justice
Meade. Mrs. Howard. it is said, left the
city last night to visit Towards father in
Burlington in her husbands behalf.
May Bell was Miss Ward before she be-
came an actress. Her father was warden
in Auburn prison. .ssssss
