NEWS FROM RYDER'S PARTY.
He Is Making Good Progress in Exploring
Greenland's East Coast.

He Is Making Good Progress In Exploring
Greenland's East Coast.
New York SUM-
News of the safe return of Lieutenant
Peary from his expedition to North Green
land is closely followed by information from
the party that Lieutenant Ryder led to the
coast of East Greenland q year ago.
His expedition, consisting of nine men,
bers or the royal Danish navy, left
Copenhagen on June last year on board
the Norw egian sealeI Hekla. Seven weeks
later the party arrived on the northwest
coast of Iceland, and thence they proceeded
to Scor esby's Sound, on the east coast just
south OF the shores explored by the
kodewey expedition in 1870 Their Their PpiE Pis

northern limit of the explorations of Lieu

camp at Cape Brewster. TOO 2T N. latitude,
making large collections and taking OBJ
servations They did good work during the
their survey of the coast and connect Gheir
observations with those or the explorers
further south.
On August Lieutenant Ryder left Green.
land and returned to Iceland, but he
started again on August 26 for the Green
land coast, expecting to land about $50
north latitude and to complete his work.
Great scientific results are said to have
been already achieved by the expedition.
When this work is completed the entire coast
line from Cape Farwell to Cape Bismarck
will have been outlined, and Ryder's labors,
together with the information brought
home by Lieutenant Peary, will enable map
makers to give an approximate idea of the
outline of the east, northeast and northern
coasts, aud then the contour of Greenland
in its entirety will be fairly well known. 1t
is worth noting that although the east coast
has been regarded as almost inaccessible,
Ryder reached it last year, and he had every
confidence when in Iceland in August that
he would reach it again this year.

machines and machinery, 8.6S per cent; in
metals and metallic goods, 32s per cent;

goods, 7l5 per cent, and Los per cent
respectively. In boots and shoes, however,

THAT GOATS HAIR CASE.
The Government Sustained and a Duty of
IL Cents a Pound LeviabIe.

IL Cents Pound LeviabIe.
BOSTON, Sept. 16.-The United States Gov
ernment has been sustained by the United
States Court of Appeals in the cele-
brated goats hair case. The decision
is of vast Importance, involving many
millions of dollars and affecting
the rights of manufacturers and importers
all over the country. The ruling reverses
the decision Judge Colt. of the Circuit Court
who decided in favor of L. C. Chase & Co.,
the firm that brought the test case. and
against the Board of General Appraisers
and Collector Beard.
The last mentioned official assessed the
duty at II cents pound on goats hair
goods, which the importers contended
should be admitted duty free. The Col
lector claimed that he was authorized to
assess the duty under the Mckinley bill,
and the Board of General Appraisers to
whom the importers appealed, held the
same opinion. Judge Colt thought differ
entity.
In summing up, Justice Gray says: "The
present act not only clearly directs that all
goat hair, without regard to its value or to
the purposes tor which it is used or suitable,
shall be subject to a duty of II cents pound,
but it avoids every form of expression which
had created doubt of difficulty in the con-
struction of earlier acts upon the subject.
The inevitable conclusion appears to US to
be that, under the tariff act OF 1890, goats
hair, even If not fit for combfng, is subject
to duty of II cenJS q pound.
