errors in punctuation in the new tariff bill
are constantly being discovered BY the
treasury officials. Today an important
mistake was found in section of the free
list. This section provides that articles Of
foreign manufacture must be stamped with
the name of origin. and then says: And
until so marked. stamped. branded and la
beled. they shall not be delivered TO the
importer should any article of imported
merchandise be marked, stamped, etc. in
excess of the quality exactly contained in
such article" Ii is assumed that there
should have been a period established be-
tween the words importer" and should. "
but. as there is none, the paragraph as il
stands is unintelligibie and may lead to
serious embarrassments in its execution.
Up to this time Mr.. Carlisle has not
asked any opinion OF the attorney general
upon the many mistakes in the bill, and
he will probably not do so until after the
bill becomes a law. The secretary. how
ever, has expressed the opinion that all
goods now in bond. which have been
changed from the dutiable to the free list,
will be subject TO the duty in force when
imported if Withdrawn for consumption.

but the words ''or Withdrawn for con-

EXCLUSION OF ANARCHISTS.
A Strong Report by the House Judi.
ciary Committee.

cfary committee.
WAsHINGTos CITY, Aug. GA strong
report fayoring the rigid exclusion and
deportation of alien anarchists has been
made by the committee on judiciary The
report says:
"It is admitted on all hands that the
question Is one Of very great Importance,
and that legislation on the subject is called
for by every consideration of public safety.
The COMMITTEES Is advised that, owing 10
the severe legislation recently adopted by
France and Italy, great many dangerous
anarchists arc .gnaklng their way TO the
United States. and as, under existing laws.
they cannot be denied admittance to our
territory, the United Will soon be
the rendezvous OF these hu-
man monsters unless the proposed
legislation IS speedily adopted. Your
committee Is OF the opinion that the
United States is fully justified by existing
conditions in using ali its powers to pre-
vent the immigration and settlement in
this country OF men who repudiate all
law and government, and who practically
proclaim themselves as the enemies of
mankind.
"Your committee has no disposition to
hamper the rigorous and prompt execn-
tion of q law providing for their exclusion
and deportation by hundreds by unneces-
sary proceedings and delays, aud is now
Wiling TO concede that the superintendent
OF immigration aud the secretary of the
treasury may be fully trusted 10 contine
the operation of law TO those who are
Justly subject TO its provisions"
The report takes up the various objec-
tions made to the proposed measures, and
disposes of each of them. Concerning the
objection that the bill is faulty in not de-
timing anarchy, the report says:
LAS the meaning of the word is defined
rs absence of government; the state of
society where there is no law or supreme
power; a state OF lawlessness; political
confusion. and its meaning is we'll known,
it is considered unnecessary to cucumber
the act with special definition"
The committee meets the objection that
person should not be charged with an
arohy and deported without jury trial
by saying;
1T would hardly be contended. We sup
pose. that the government ought TO main
tain jury at every port OF entry for the
purpose of passing on the qualifications oil

qulrs no rights not possessed by the for
eigner who desires 10 enter We are un-
able to perceive upon what principle a
Jury trial is insisted upon TN order TO de-
port an alien whose residence in the
country Il considered detrimental To the
pubic welfare"
In conclusion the report states the full
constitutional power of enactment of the
proposed law. and that there is urgent
necessity for the i'm mediate passage of the
