 "You are instructed as follows con corning the collection of duties under the recent revenue legislation of con- gress:
 .'t. All articles heretofore subject to duty, but made free by provisions of the new act, may be withdrawn from the warehouse on and after Aug 28, 1894, without payment of duty.
 "2. All manufactured articles, specif- cally or generally provided for in sched- ule K, which are composed wholly of materials other than wool or worsted or of which some one material other than wool or worsted is the component part of the chief value, will be admitted on and after Aug. 12 1894, at the rate of duty prescribed in the new act. All other manufactured articles, specifically or generally provided for in said sched- ule, will continue until Jan l, 1895, to pay the rates of duty imposed thereon by the act entitled.

 The above telegram which decides that goods placed in bonded warehouses under the Mckinley law and made free of duty under the new tariff act are en- entitled to free entry and need not be exported and reimported i'll order to get the benefit of the new act. This is of special interest to the wool trade, large amount of wool is being stored now in bonded warehouses. In this as in all other mooted questions the secretary will follow the intent of congress and let aggrieved parties appeal to the courts, if they care to contest on technical grounds.
 The secretary also sen' the fol- lowing telegram to the customs officials at all ports in the United States: 'Ves- sels with cargo not discharged nor en- tered for consumption may be made vessel warehouses temporarily for such goods as shall be entered today in bond"

MORTON AND WolcoTr.
They Return steamer La NormaadIe
 From Europe.

From Europe.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 2S-Among the passengers who arrived on the French line steamer La Normandie yesterday was the Hon. Levi P Morton. who was seen on tine promenade deck of the steamer shortly after she dropped an- chor in quarantine. He evidently antici- pated the reporters question, IS the fol- lowing note which he handed to those who greeted him will show:
 ''In reply to your questions l can only say that, although have no desire to re- enter public life. have received so many letters from personal and political friends in different parts of the state urging me to allow the use of my name as a candidate for governor that now. that l am home, shall feel it due them and the Republican party, which has so highly honored me in the past, to give the question serious consideration.
 Senator Wolcott of Colorado, accom- panied by his wife and stepson, were also pdsstiBefh 0n lne lId NoEiiauuAes oeH- ator Wolcott said that during his trip abroad he spent much of his time in England, France and Germany, the three countries most interested in the silver question. In France the feeling was almost entirely in favor of bimetal- lism, but that country would make no move until England took the initiative. In England Balfour and Chamberlain favored bimetailism and thought that the system adopted in India was not satisfactory. Gladstone was opposed to bimetallism and Lord Rosebery would express no opinion on the question. The senator thought the time was not far distant when there would be an inter- national agreement on the subject.

KILLED BY 4 CYCLONE.
Azov Sea Swept by a Wind
 of Death.
ONE THOUSAND LIVES ARE LOST.

Two Parties of American Tourists Are
 Believed to Be In tho wreck-Every
 Fishing Boat Destroyed and Crews
 Drowned Several Towns Upon tue
 Coast Wiped Out Completely. ST. LOUIS, Aug. 26--A special cable to The Globe-De1nocrat from St. Peters burg says:
 A wind of death. No other name can describe the cyclone that swept the Azov sea Saturday. It will be impossible for days to compute the damage done, but it is almost certain that at least 1000 per sons have perished, some by drowning, others by being crushed under falling houses and trees.
 The excitement is great among the American colony in this city, for it is feared that at least two parties of Amer ican tourists were on the Sea of Azov at the time. All the afternoon there was stream of callers at the office of the minister asking for news from Odessa, whence the tourists were to have started on the regulation sightseeing trip across the Orimea, visiting Sebastapol, Balak- lava and other famous battle scenes.
 The wind was first felt at Nogaisk. Nogaisk is peopled mostly by fishermen, who were out on the water. When the hurricane had swept out to the north a terrible scene was presented. The viii lage was razen and overturned, as if an immense blow had been pushed through it. Lying everywhere were women and children dead or ill the last agonies. The shallow waters of the Sea of Azov were lashed to such height that it was plain that every fishing boat must have been sunk. The cyclone swept on the north- west after wreclsing Nogaisk. It's path seems to have been unusually wide for at Marinopol it devastated the coun try to point II miles inland and had its outer edge far upon the sea. Marinopol was practically plotted out of existence Not houses in 100 are left standing. It is estimated that over 200persons per ished i'll this town alone
 North of Marinepol the storm seems to have made sudden turn to the east ward over Dolga points, it's left edge in- fiicting slight damage to the town of Berdinask. Houses were unroofed and a dozen persons were killed by falling timbers Once at sea the storm made its full fury felt.
 Of the steamers that touch at the port of Berdinask not one had come in at the hour of the latest report. Grave fears are expressed that every craft has gone to the bottom and that every passenger is drowned. When the wind swept over the northern end of Azov it took a new course, going southerly along the coast of the land of the black Cossacks. In turn Eisck and Aschuev were ravaged each town being almost totally destroyed. Photographic communication with this district is suspended and it is impossible to learn the extent of the destruction, but at least 1000 persons must have died on the two shores The storm as nearly as now can be learned seemed suddenly to lose its force near Temerink and passed off with comparative quiet ever the Black sea.
