AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
Goods Entered Below Their Value May be
Taken as Indicating Fraudulent Intent.

Goods Entered Below Their Value May be
Taken as Indicating Fraudulent Intent.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE Treas
ury Department, through Acting Secre-
tary Hamlin, has made an important
decision In determining to enforce the
provisions OF section 7 Of the
customs administrative act of June
10. 1890, which provides that
if the appraised value Of
goods should exceed the value declared
In the entry more than 40 per cent, the
entry may be held to be presumptively
fraudulent and the collector may seize
the merchandise. The section has
teen practically a dead let
ter, goods being released with
out payment of penalties. Act
ing Secretary Hamlih recently de-
cided to have the law enforced, and ne
therefore has sent a letter to the Collec-
tor Of Customs at New York denying a
request for the release OF certain seized
goods, its substance being contained in
the concluding paragraph, as follows:
at is possible that the extension OF
leniency TO cases OF this kind has
grown into a practice which is preju-
dicial to the interests OF the Govern
ment and inconsistent with the terms
OF the law. The department
declines to approve Your recommends
ton for the release OF merchandise in
cluded ia the seizure referred to, ex-
cept upon payment OF the duties which
have accrued under the law"
1t may be added that the department
intends to hereafter hold importers to
strict responsibility in the matter OF
invoice valuations.

Millions Of our American citizens in the
great religious denominations with which
we are Identified, believe that by the law
Of God, the genius Of American institutions
and the highest physical and moral inter-
ests OF man, we are bound TO recognize the
benefcience Of day Of rest.
Actuated by profound convictions, vast
numbers Of our fellow citizens are resolved
% fOrego the pleasures and advantages Of
an exposition which they had anticipated
with patriotic pride and have felt constain-
ed most regretfully to withdraw their in
terests, sympathy aud cooperation from
this enterprise 10 the success Of which they
had planned 10 generously contribute.
Without argument, we submit these
facts.
la the interests, therefore, Of harmony
aud good will, and for what we believe 10
0e the highest success of the Exposition,
the good name OF our great city the pros
perity OF the country, and the glory Of God,
we make this appeal for the closing Of the
Exposition on Sunday. IL is our hope that
the Directors, whose patriotism, genius,
and disinterested devotion, have achieved
so much 70 make the Exposition an honor
70 our city and country, and the wonder OF
the age, will, by closing the gates on Sun
day. add 70 IL that grace which alone seems
necessary TO its perfection.
IL is impossible for US TO eXaggerate the
interest which we feel in the success Of
the Exposition. We earnestly desire 70
have its advantages enjoyed 10 the utmost
by all the people II this appeal be granted
we shall be free TO cooperate with you IN
making this great Exposition as remarka-
ole for It's attendance as il now is for its

MARION, IND, July 14.-The Amerl-
can Flint Workers convention to-day
received a communication from the
Manufacturers Association, In wnlcn
small reduction in wages 10 asked lor on
the ground of dullness in the traoe'
and difficulty to raise money on STOCKS
of glass. No action was taken on the
communication, but ii will probably De
referred to the conference committee
which meets a similar committee or
the Manufacturers Association
when the convention ao1ourhs:
No trouble over the question OF
wages is anticipated II the opinions OF
the prominent delegates interviewed
can be relied upon, and il Is also an In
cident worth noting that prominent
manufacturer and official OF the Unlteo
States Glass Company, now IN Marion,
shares the same opinion. lie says that
while several manufacturers are our
dened with heavy stocks, the majority
of them are not, and will be ready to
resume work in September. He looks
for a general improvement In all lines
Of trade as soon as Congress assemblies,
and provides some relief for the nnanclal
situation. Some branches, particularly
the flint glass branch, have been over
done, and work in the prescription lac-
tories may not be resumed as early
as usual, but in other lines, nota-
bly, table ware, chimney, ETC., good
demand will leave manufacturers with
but little surplus stock at the close OF
the summer stop. Business in the dill
ierent branches OF the trade was re-
ported fairly good, although In some
lines there is depression. All the
wage committees are nearly ready TO
report except the prescription commit
tee which has large amount OF new
ware to classify.
Reports were received from the cut
tors and shade committees to-day and
adopted by the convention.
