ADMINISTRATIVE LAW.
A large portion Of the new tariff bill
is devoted to the administrative law.
Under the Mckinley revision this was
made the subject of separate bill, but
the Democrats have simply added the
administrative provisions to the GUS
toms bill, and thus included the whole
machinery OF customs collections in one
measure.
The changes in the administrative
law are more numerous than was at
first contemplated, and some are OF con-
siderable Importance. One OF these
authorizes the secretary OF the treasury
at his discretion to permit the certifica-
tion OF invoices before United States
consular officers in adjoining districts
from that in which the goods are man
ufactured or purchased. Consuls are
also authorized to refuse certificates Of
invoice not made in strict accordance
with the regulations. The invoice shall
also state the name OF the consular dis
trict and the name OF the port or place
from which the merchandise was pro-
cured.
When entry OF merchandise exceed
ing 500 in value is made by state
mont in the form Of IN invoice, the
collector shall require bond in penal
sum which shall be double the amount
OF the estimated duties and in the sum
OF 500, ii the merchandise be free of
duty for the production OF duly certi-
fed invoice.
The decision Of the collector as to
rate and amount Of duties chargeable
on imports OF merchandise, including
all dutiable costs and charges, and as to
all fees aud exactioua Of whatever char
anLar ahal ha final and conclusive
