UNDER SECTION FIVE.


Il h the Purpose OF the Treasury Depart
ment to So Construe the. Tari6 Law
That Unnecessary Obstruction and
Hardship to Importers May be Avoided.
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:
sThis section differs from Section o
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.
Elm order to afford a reasonable time
for compliance with the above section,
| it will be ignored, SO far as relates to
the statement of quantities, only upon
merchandise shipped from abroad after
August %. 1894.
s'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 form, provided the
! goods contain unmistakable evidence
of their origin. without misleading
| marks or signs.
sit is further held that the require
/ nent in respect to quantity of contents
4 npplies only to packages, and not tc
{ separate articles. To interpret the sec
/ ton otherwise would involve the meas
4 urement of every spool of cotton and
the gauging of every bottle of wine,
It may be inferred that the purpose oi
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
and uniform quantities. A mere in
spection of such packages will suffice
to determine the fact of their con-
formity or noncomformity, as the case
may be, with the established practice
of the trade. If the former condition
is manifest, no further indication o.
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
quire explicit statements in order tt
indicate the quantity of contents.
cit is the purpose of the depart
ment SO to construe the section, thai
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.
[Signed.] JOHN G. CARLISLE,
Secretary"

One of the Worst Wrecks that Ever Oc-
Cured In the Vicinity.
NORTH ADAMS, Mass, Sept. 1s.-The
railroad wreck a short distance from
the central shaft in the Hoosac tun-
mel Saturday night was one of the

vicinity. By it two men lost their
| lives and two others were seriously in
jured. A freight train had to stop in
the tunnel to repair break on the en-
CINE. BY some blunder a second
