A TARIFF CONSTRUCTION.
Where Advantage of the New Law
Could BE Taken.

SOuhO ne Iukcns
The collector Of customs at New York re-
Gently decided that the cargo Of a vessel
which arrived in port after the custom
house was closed on the evening OF the
9th, the day before the new tariff law took
effect, was entitled to entry the next MORN
ing under the act Of October !, 1890, mas
much as the goods were imported under the
old law, but an entry Of them was imprac-
ticable before the new law took effect, as
the custom house was closed.
While this question has not been SUBJ
mitted TO the Secretary for his decision, IL
is the opinion of treasury officials that the
collectors action was proper, in view of the
many decisions of the Supreme Court which
hold that an Importation is complete as
soon as the goods are brought from a for
eign country within a port of entry Of the
United States, with the intention of unload
ing the same, and that an entry is not
necessary to constitute an importation. This
does not conflict with any decision hereto
fore made by the Treasury Department

"A F1rebug and Horse Thief at Nine
Years of Age.
MILWAUKEE, August "A small, tow
headed boy with big, blue eyes and freckles
almost as big sat in the central police sta
ton last night, surrounded by a group of
happy police officials and detectives. His
name Is Marcus krokserg. and the officers
were glad to see him. Marcus is a trif1e
ever nine years old, but he has made an
amount Of trouble that could scarcely he
expected OF one so young, besides making
trouble fer the police force He came near
burning up portion of Milwaukee on sew
eral occasions. 1t is Marcus idea of fun to
set fire to barns and steal horses. He has
been at this work over a month, and would
still be at 1t II detectives had not captured
him. He has caused six fires that ne re-
members OF, and ran away with something
like a dozen horses. Two of the fires were
set on windy night. and but for prompt
action by the firemen would have resulted
In serious connagra lions. In the horse
stealing line he was an adept. He would
jump into buggy, drive out into the coun-
try, turn the horse loose, and trudge back
home Twice he sold rigs to men for fifty
cents. saying he had just found the horse
st-aying down the street. The boy is too
young to be sent to the reform school, but
steps will be taken to place him in some
charitable institution. His latest feat was
to steal purse containing $50 from Mrs.
Fain.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, August 4.-Adjutant
General Tarsney of Colorado, who has been
here for some days seeking to encompass
the arrest Of one of the gang who tarred
and feathered him, came near being the
victim Of an assassiE's bullet at the Union
depot In this city last night 1t was one of
the closing scenes in the dramatic play
growing out of the Colorado tragedy dur
ing the recent strike and consequent fer
retinS out and arrest of ]. r. Wilson, one of
the leaders of the marauders
Several days ago Gen. Tarsney located
Wilson near Nevada, Mo-, and by a neat bit
of strategy and with the assistance of De-
tective Peterson of Colorado succeeded in
getting him to Kansas City Wilson was
positively identified by Tarsney as being
the ringleader of the mob that tarred and
feathered him.
Wilson, however, declared he was inno-
cent After some trouble, Tarsney secured
the proper requisition papers from Gov.
stone and the start for Colorado was ar
ranged for this evening. c. G. Collins an
eX-deputy under Wilson in Colorado during
be the man who carried the feathers on the
eventful night, came to town Thursday,
and. as he afterward told a reporter, was
bent upon libarating Wilson.
Shortly before the departure of the even
ing Union Pacific train last night, Tarsney,
Wilson ana Peterson were driven from the
Jail to the depot in a closed carriage pre-
paratory to starting for Colorado. Arriving
at the depot they were met by Collins who
attempted to draw Wilson away from De-
tectice Peterson, at the same time placing
his hand on his hip pocket. Peterson
pushed Collins aside, but the latter renewed
his efforts. Finally Collins turned toward
Tarsney and made a threatening motion.
whereCpon Tarsney reached for his revolver
but Lefcre either man could lift a hand
Peterson had stepped between them and
prevented what might have been a tragedy.
A big crowd collected, and great excitement
prevailed for a while. TarSney and Peter
son finally reached the Union Pacific train
and left for Denver Collins had bought a
ticket via the Sante Fe, and left on the
same train.

riotic attitude to the last and the Vigilants
splendid performance did not elicit a single
cheer. The defeat of the Britannia was
undoubtedly very bitter pill. for the Brit
ishers. as everybody here. with the excep-
ton Of the Americans. anticipated another
British victory. AS 1t was, the Britannia
never once, after the start had a ghost Of
chance Of winning. The Vigilant sailed
away from her throughout on the last
round. The Vigiant was finely handled and
clearly demonstrated her superiority over
the Britannia in a stiffish breeze.

At this stage Of the race the Vigilant had
a lead of four minutes eight seconds. Short
ly afterward driZzlng rain began thinning
the crowds ashore. But large numbers re-
manned to see the race in spite Of the in
clemency Of the weather. Among those to
brave the rain and the chance Of bad cold
were, 1t was evident from their conversa-
ton, nearly all American SPECTATORS, who,
naturally. were greatly elated at the sue
cess Of the Vigilant.
The American yacht. on going out Of sight

final round had further increased her lead
by a couple of seconds and 1t was stated II

minutes fifteen seconds ahead. At that
time Warner lightship was hidden in O fog
When the yachts were returning and

follows:
The vigilant, 1t will be seen from these

months after the messenger was released
the Northern Pacific company decided to
change the numerous small trestlcs along
its main stem into culverts. A party Of
surveyors were making the preliminary
measurement Of such work. and when the
axman was clearing away some underbrush
at the side OF a small creek one day. so the
surveyor could operate his level he picked
up a widowed package that had evidently
been lost from a passing train on the road.
Without taking into consideration the ex-
press company's labels and seals. which
even long exposure had not effaced from the
bundle, the surveying party opened IL, and
there was the long-missing money that had
been sent from Helena TO st. Louis. The
facts were reported and another investiga-
ton was put on foot. with q view of reliev-
ing the express messenger from the sus-
picion that still chung to him. He was in
formed OF the discovery OF the money and
requested to make some explanation OF its
loss He stil insisted that he had nothing
to do with the loss OF the package and knew
nothing OF IL. He said that he had received
the safe from the company In Helena and
had kept II In the condition in which IL was
given to him until they reached Omaha.-
He remembered, however. that another
wells-Fnrgo man, who had been sent down
the road from Helena to meet a car. was in
the express car while Il was running near
the point where the package was dis.
covered. This man had been promoted TO
quite q prominent position In one OF the
weils-Fargo districts and was Immediately
charged with being responsible for the loss
Of the package. When pushed into a corner
he confessed that he had used his knovl-
edge OF the combination OF the safe and had
stolen the package end thrown II out OF the
door OF the car after opening the safe and
he naively remarked that he had spent six
months looking for Il. without success Only
powerful friends prevented his prosecution
and conviction. 1t may be said however,
that he did as far as he was financially able
TO reimburse the messenger who had suf-
fercd for his crime, and that the latter was
given a better place than he had held before
by the express company.

as they reached back past Cowes. The wind
had hauled around slightly southwark and
1t was strong enough to heel the two
yachts over most gracefully, every inch of
canvas being filled and their bottoms show

There was undated excitement among
the crowds ashore, although the enthusiasm

was being left behind. After rounding Lepe
