Rulings of Carlisle.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-Secretary
Carlisle has decided and will instruct
customs collectors that goods placed in
bonded warehouses under the Mckinley
law and made free of duty under the
new tariff act are entitled to free entry
and need not be exported and reimport-
ed in order to get the benefits of the new
act. This is of special interest to the
wool trade, as large amount of wool is
stored in the bonded warehouses. In
this as in all other mooted questions the
secretary will follow the intent of con-
gress and let the aggrieved parties ap-
peal to the courts if they care to contest
on technical grounds. He will undoubt-
edly hold that diamonds are dutiable,
notwithstanding the erroneous punctua-
tions of the free list. The secretary to-
day sent the following telegram to Gus
toms officials at all ports: ga vessel
with cargo not discharged nor entered
for consumption may be made vessel
warehouses temporarily for such goods
as shall be entered today in bond"
The secretary today sent the follow
ing telegram to collectors at New York,
San Francisco, Boston, Philadelphia,
Baltimore, New Orleans, Chicago and
Port Townsend, WASH: "You are in
structed as follows concerning the COL
lection of duties under the recent row
enue legislation of congress;
"First-All articles heretofore subject
to duty, but made free by the provisions
of the new act, may be Withdrawn from
the warehouses on and after Aug. Is,
1894, without payment of duty.
"Second-All manufactured articles
except originally provided for in the
schedule, composed wholly of materials
other than wool or woreted, as a COM
ponent port OF their chief value, will be
admitted on and after August 20, 1864,
at the rate prescribed in the new act, all
other manufactured articles specially or
generally provided for in said schedule,
will continue until January I, 1895, to
pay rates of duty imposed thereon, by
the act entitled, fAn act to reduce the
revenue, equalize duties on imports and
for other purpose; approved October,
ls9O.'
''Third-Cofee and tea, hides and
skins, raw or uncured, whether dry,
salted or picked, will be admitted free
of duty on and after August 2S, 1894,
and treasury circular s. 1850, dated
March "a, 1892, issued in accordance
with the proclamation of the president
OF the United States, dated March 15,
1892, and directing the collection of
duties upon certain articles being pro-
ducts exported from Venzuela, Colum-
bia and Hayti, is hereby revoked"
Although, as stated, it is Carlisle's
purpose that the intent of congress
shall be followed, it is learned that as to
alkquestions OF errors in punctuation he
will make NJ decisions nor give any in
structions to collectors until after an
actual case has come before him on ap-
peals from the decision of the board of
general appraisers as to whether dia-
monds, seeds and certain other articles
are by the terms of the bill dutiable or
on the free list. Collectors will without
instructions hold them to be dutiable in
order to protect themselves, and the i'm
porters must go to law if they contest
these rulings.
