UNDER SECTION FIVE.

1t Is the Purpose OF the Treasury Depart
ment to So Construe the Tariff Law
That Unnecessary Obstruction and
Hardship to Importers May be Avoideds
WASHINGTON, Sept. s.-Secretary Car
Isle yesterday afternoon issued an off,
cial circular regarding the marking,
etc, of goods under section 5 of the
new tariff law, in regard to which
much uncertainty of construction has
existed. After quoting the section in
extenso, the secretary says;
This section differs from Section 6
of the act of October 1, 1890 (McKinley
law, in requiring a statement of the
quantity of contents and in withhold
ing delivery of goods until they shall
be duly marked, etc.
In order to afford reasonable time
for compliance with the above section,
it will be ignored, 80 far as relates to
the statement of quantities, only upon
merchandise shipped from abroad after
August 90, 1894.
'"The department holds that the in
dication of the country of origin under
this section need not necessarily be re-
stricted to the declaration of the name
of such country, but may be accepted
under whatever fornt, provided the
goods contain unmistakable evidence
of their origin, without misleading
marks or signs.
''It is further held that the feqiiire-
ment in respect to quantity of contents
applies only to packages, and not to
separate articles. To interpret the sec
tion otherwise would involve the meas
urement of every spool Of cotton and
the gauging of every bottle of wine.
1t may be inferred that the purpose of
this enactment was the protection of
the consumer from loss through fraud
ulent overstatement of the numbers or
quantities of articles contained in many
imported packages offered for sale.
Certain classes of goods are respec=
lively put up in packages of recognized
ahd uniform quantities. A mere i11=
spection of such packages will suffice
to determine the fact of their con-
fornity or noncomformity, as the case
may be, with the established practice
of the trade. If the former condition
is manifest, no further indication of
the quantity of the contents is needed.
AS, for example, ordinary bags of
coffee and barrels of -four have regu-
lar sizes and capacities, and do not re-
duire explicit statements In order to
indicate the Quantity Of contents.
sit is the purpose of the depart
ment so to construe the section, that
without an evasion of its provisions,
unnecessary obstruction and hardship
to importers may be avoided.
''Chief officers of the customs are
hereby authorized to decide, in accord
ance with the above instructions, with
out reference to the department, ques-
tions arising under the administration
of the section above specified.
GSigned JOHN g. CARLISLE,
Secretary"

Ex-Banker George W. Work Keleased
from the Eastern Penltentiary.
PHILADELPHIA; Sept. s.-Geofge Fl
Work, the banker and fnAncier who
was sentenced in February, 1891, to
serve four years in the Eastern peniten-
tiary for fraudulently taking and con-
fiscating securities of the broken Bank
of America, was released at 7 o'clock

der the Communication law for good be-
havior the benefit of six months time.
In accordance with previously made
plans, Work left the city with his
counsel, Immediately on being re-
leased, stating to the few friends pres
ent that he intended to remain with
his family, in a quiet place in the coun-
try for time IN order to regain his
strength. He said he also needed time
to consider his plans for the future.
The ex-banker declares that he has
not dollar in the world, and must go
to work to support himself and family.
He says, however, that he has found
friends who have offered to help him in
getting a new start. It is believed
that the ex-banker will go into the

A MYSTERIOUS WAGON
Supposed to Have Some Connection With
the Disappearance of DR.. C0nklln:

Supposed to Have Some Connection With
the Disappearance of DIR. C6hklIn:
CAssoPoL1s. Mich, Sept. "A new
clew to the disappearance of DIR. A. B.
Conklin is being followed, which may
solve the mystery. Sunday night after
dark wagon with a double box is re-
ported to have been seen entering town
from the north with two iitknown
parties. Later it was seen to pass DIR.
Conklin's office twice. A member of
John Bronner's family heard heavy
wagon go past their house on back
street to point on the shore of the
lake unfreqiefted at tigfit.
About this time Mr.. Robinson was
returning from the opposite side of
near this spot and hurried over to see
what was the matter: He saw two
men, colored, jump into wagon an
swerihg the description of the one mem
toned above, and hurriedly roll away.
Groans were heard BY 0thefs Ill that
vicinity Later n wagon answering
the same description and containing
two men left town to the north. The
wagon was going rapidly.
Upon this clew Stone Lake will be
dynamited, as the murder theory now
seems most plausible.
This mysterious wagon was seen by
many but not recognized, and is
strongly suspected of being connected
with DIR. Conklin's disappearance.

A Serious Problem For the Survivors.

BAREyM, Mimi, Sept. s.-Dr. Cowan,
coroner of Pine cotih4yi believes that
the dead list in this county will reach
700. Reports come slowly from the
searching parties. 1t is Impossible to
give a correct statement even of
the bodies already found. DIR.
Cowan went to Sandstone Thurs
day afternoon. He will have the
eighty or more bodies that have
been temporarily covered with
earth there dug up, Closely examined
and properly buried III the cemetery
near the town. Another serious
problem for the survivors in this neigh
borhood is the disposal of the dead ami
mails The region about Hinckley is
Uttered with the carcasses of horses,
cows. hogs, deer and even few moose.
The terrible stencil from them promises
to breed pestilence among the few peo-
pie left.

Dead Chippewa Indians.

PoKEGAMA, Mimi, Sept. s.-A courier
brings a report that the bodies of
twenty-three Chippewa Indians, bucks,
squaws and pappooses, lie upon the
baked sands between here and Opstead,
d small settlement on the eastern shores
of Lake Mile Lacs They are scattered
over 10 miles of country and will in all
probability prove food for buzzards and
wolves, as the country where they died
is too far from civilization for burial
ceremonies. The Indians left their
reservation two months ago and built
hunting lodge along one of the forks
of Shadridge creek: Chief Waucouta
was the big chief of the party, and
he perished with his followers. The
first body found by the courier was
that of an infant barely a year old.
Then came those of two squaws and
five children. They had evidently
turned west when the flames
swept through the forest. Another
mile brought him to a pile of ashes,
which ffiarked the site of the
hunting camp. There was ore tepee,
the shriveled rawhide thongs marking
the place where it stood. Around it
were the ruins of half dozen birch
wood bark shanties and protruding
FROM tile ashes were the fused barrels
of rifles and shotgths. Then for 5
miles the pathway was lined with
charred bodies. The courier counted
twentythree.

WELIISGToS. New ZEALAND, March S.
Tho postal and cable conference after
m excited discussion unanimously
adopted n substitute for Yesterdays
resolution in favor OF Pacific cable to
America by Samoa, Tanning Island,
and Honolulu to Vancouver. Tho sub.
stituto provides for the representation
in tho project OF the respective COL
onies, whose representatives arc asked
TO recommend their governments TO
guarantee with othor countries inter-
csied, for a period not to exceed four
teen years, four per cent interest on Il

pany laying u Pacific cable. Tho tariff
is not to exceed three shilllngs per word

Britain and the colonies.
During tho course OF tho debate
which followed the introduction OF the
substitute, attention was drawn to the
fact that, with tho exception OF Samoa
and Honolulu, the cable would DO ex-
clusively In Britieh territory.
Mr.. Didd warmly supported Presi.
dent Wards motion. saying that he
had no sympathy with the proposal to
extend the cable from New Caledonia,
rs it might be dominated by the French.
The route OF the now cable Is to DO
from Brisbane (Queensland). Australia.
to Ahdipara Bay, New Zealand, and
from there to Apia. Samoa, thence to
Tanning Island, continuing from there
to the Sandwich Islands, and from that
point to Vancouver.
