THE HAT TRIMMING CASES
Decided by the Supreme Court In Favor OF
tho lmporters-what the Treasury Must
Pay Back,

Pay Back.
WASHINGTON. d. c.. May 15.-The
Supreme Court OF the United States to-
day affirmed its previous ruling as laid
down in the Langfeld case, in what Is
popularity known as "the hat trimmings
case"
This came on appeal from the judg-
ments Of the Circuit Courts for the
United States two from the Eastern
district OF Pennsylvania and one from
the Northern district OF Illinois. the
controversy In each case being between
the collector OF the port and the impor-
ters as TO the rating TO be made upon
material used for hat trimmings.
Mr.. Justice Shiras announced the
opinion aud Judgment of the court, in
which he stated that in the Pennsylva-
mia cases, where the Judgment OF the
Circuit Court was In favor OF the con-
tention OF the importers, that the goods
In question were liable TO duty as hat
trimmings, and not as silk or manufac-
lures OF silk, the ruli ng was in accord
ance with the Judgment OF the Supreme
Court in the former cases adjudicated.
In this, said Justice Sbiras, we find
there was no error, and therefore the
Judgement OF the Circuit Court In these
two cases will stand affirmed. 1t fol-
lows from this that in the case appealed
from the northern district Of lllineis.
wherein the Judgment OF the court was
In favor of the contention OF the collec-
tor, and the goods were declared 10 be
dutiable as silk or manufactures OF silk,
that Judgment must be reversed, and 1t
is so ordered.
1t is estimated at the Treasury De-
partment that by the loss Of the that
trimmings" case the United States will
be called upon to refund from Ss,o0o,0 900
to $40, 900, 900. Some estimates place 1t
as high as $40, 900, 900. Secretary Fos-
ter's estimate was S25,0o0,000 He Of
fered TO compromise the case for So, 000,-
600, but the compromise was not ef-
fected. During the past three years
SO, 900, 900 Of duties'in these cases have
been refunded.

FINANCIAL TROUBLES:
The London Stock Exchange Quite
FeVeriSh Yesterday.
TWO BIG AUSTRALIAN FAILURES.
Other English Concerns Expected
to Go by the Board To-Day.
Financial Stringency at Mime
apolis-One Bank Suspends.
Heavy Run on a Savings Insti-
tuition.

LONDON, May 15.-The official hour OF
closing to-day left the Stock Exchange
ieyerish and excited over the develop
ments OF the day. Three defaulters
had been posted, while it was known
that the fourth and most important
failure had only been deferred until to-
morrow.
The dealings in the street proceeded
from bad TO worse, and ended In a
feeling that might fairly be called pan
icky.
Besides the Australian collapses,
amongst which the failure OF the Com
mercial Banking Company OF Sydney
was the gravest yet announced. the
reported gold shipments to New York.
and the advises of lower prices In Wall
street added to the depression.
When the street business ceased the
Colonial Government stocks had gone
down an average percentage of pa on
the days transactions. Railroads,
which were heavily sold to close ao-
counts and were freely taken by AM
sterdam houses, showed a better ten
dency st the last moment.
In regard to tomorrow 1t Is feared
that the troubles both In financial and
commercial circles will be increased by
the failures Of Glasgow and Edinburgh

suspensions OF Australian banking

Two Rsnor,. Of the Battle.

VALPARAISO, Nav 1.-two stories have
reached here concerning the result OF a
battle which took place yesterday near In
6aSduy between the CaStilhista troops and
the reSOlutionists 10 Rio Grande Do Sui,
Brazil. rs is reported by persons who
favor the CSstiihaS that although the en-
Easement was really nothing more than q
skirmish. the revolutiOnists were put 10
flight and forced TO fee % the hills where
they were endeayoring 10 reorganize their
scattered forces. This favorable account
for the Catilhistas is not confirmed BY the
news which comes from those in sympathy
with the revOlutionists. The account
which they send from San Eugenio says
the engagsment was not decisive. 1t oc-
CURED late in the afternoon and at night

lyte. who commanded the CaStihista forces,

BY A RANK OUTSIDER.
DiablO, an Old "Spav,' Wins, the Big
Brooklyn Handicap.
$4,000 PAIRS OF EYES WATCH 1T.
Lamplighter Carried a Ton of
Money, But He Couldn't Do
Better Than Second-The Result
of the Great Race Was a Sur
prise TO All-Big Money Won by
Those Who Hit 1t.

New YORK, May 15.-Amidst deep
and oppressive silence, Dia6lo, the
aged son of Eolus and Grace Darling.
won the rich Brooklyn handicap, at
Gravesend, this afternoon, In the pre-
sence OF 10000 persons.
Lamplighter, the iavorIte, who went
TO the post carrying a ton OF money,
was second, and Leonawell, third.
The winners time was 200, made
fractlonally as follows:
Quarter, 2514; half, 81; three-quar-
ter, 1916; mile, l;42j%; mile and quar-
ter, 200.
The reason for the chilly silence with
which Diablo's victory was received is
rather difficult OF explanation.
The probabilities are that the people
felt instinctively that they had, ia q
measure, been the victims OF wha. Is
termed grand coup.
Diablo was regarded as being In the
first flight in his two and three-year-old
form, but after his third year his legs
became shAky.
Since then he has been regarded
simply as a high class selling platter.
that was likely TO break down perma-
nently in any race which he started.
The horse has raced three times at the
recent Elizabeth meeting, winning once
out OF three starts.
Raceland and Charade, two horses
that ran in the handicap to-day, were
the winners of these races and beat him
easily. His wonderful Improvement IN
form to-day was therefore all the more
stunning In It's effect.
The Brookly handicap run to-day
was the seventh ia the history OF the
event and was guaranteed TO be worth
SOS, 600. OF this sum the winner gets
SIS. 900, the second horse S., 900 and the
third 5000.
The day dawped bright and fair.
