STILL MAY BE DOCKED.
1t IL Not Expected That the Repeal
VIII Pass,

1t is expected that an aye and nay vote
will induce the House of Representatives
to recede from its purpose OF repeating the
law for docking the salaries of members
The move for a repeal of the law was ac-
complished by an amendment to the legis-
lative appropriation bill. 1t was done how
ever. when the House was in committee of
the whole. There was a vote by tellers
but notice was given that an aye and nay
vote would be taken when the bill was on
its final passage in the House. 1t is the
general belief that on q yea and nay vote
members will not care to record themselves
in favor of repeating the docking" law,
and the officers OF the House confidently
expect the law to stand
Sergeant-at-arms Snow would have his
accounts farther complicated IL the House
persisted In repeating the law The repeal
would not be effective until passed 10y the
Senate some weeks or months hence In
the meantime he would be docking sal
aries, although the House had repealed the
law. Mr.. Snow says he will proceed with
his present course, and II is likely that
the House will, on the yea and nay vote
approve his course.

Federal troops have been called into requi-
sition for the enforcement of the orders of

partment and the Department OF Justice
say that gangs of unemployed men are con-
gregating along the line of the Northern
Pacific railroad in Montana. with the avow-
ed purpose of stealing trains on which to
make the journey to Washington. The men
are sullen and desperate and make open
threats of force and violence. They are
most numerous and reckless on that section
Of the railroad near Helena and west of
that point.
They have already forcibly taken possess

THE FOREST RESERVES.
Millions of Acres Can BE Thrown Oper
to Settlement by Proclamation

Representative Hermann of Oregon re-
Gently brought before the proper officials
the question as to whether the President
has the right to modify or revoke a pre-
vious withdrawal of lands for forest re-
serve. After consultation between the
Attorney General and the Secretary Of the
Interior II has been decided that any re-
serve may be restored wholly or I'm part
to the public domain by the President
through proclamation without legislative
enactment.
The decision is Of far-reaching effect. an
plying not only to forest lands but to graz
ing and agricultural reserves The reser-
vations throughout the country amount TO
1'pO.0W acres, and whenever the same
question arises the new principle applies
that the President has the right to revoke
previous Withdrawals, thus opening the
land to settlement. Heretofore ii has been
considered necessary to get the assent of
Congress for this action. but the policy
now adopted gives the President Inherent
power to act. without waiting for legisla-
tive authority Acting on this Represen-
tative Hermann has secured the restora-
ton to public domain of various townships
of mineral regions in the Bohemia mining
district of Oregon.

MIR. SYPHER's ANSWER.

to the Naval Committees Report.
Mr.. ]. Hale Sypher has addressed a let
ter to the House committee on naval at
ing his personal character made in that
committees report on warship premiums.
Mr. Sypher says he has not been able to
notice more promptly the matters referred
to because Of delays in obtaining official
Information from the Treasury Department
Mr.. Sypher characterizes as slanderous
the following statements quoted against
him by the committee: First, that he
while member Of the House. received and
misappropriated 5000 of public funds
which was appropriated "for repairs to
the United States warehouse and for erect
ing a wharf at the United States quaran-
tine station on the Mississippi river" and
second, that he proposed to one John
Clark to raise his bid and secure him a
contract a public building for a fee of
$1,000. Mr.. Sypher then gives in full let
tiers from w. L. Curtis, assistant secretary
of the treasury under recent date, show

show concerning the transactions in ques-
ton. From these official records" Mr.
Sypher says, 1T is proven cOnclusively that
the money $4,000 was honestly expended
and for the purposes for which it was ap-
propriated; that the vouchers receipts and
accounts were correct. honest. regular and
authentic: that John Clark's statement
quoted by the committee, was ridiculous
malicious and false" Mr.. Sypher de-
nounces the committee for the course il
took, stating that the facts concerning
these transactions have always been avail
able to the committee but il is evident
that the committee did not desire the

AN ORIGINAL IMPORTATION.
important Opinion of the Attornex
General Affecting Imports.

Inc opinion Of the Attorney General in
regard TO the warehouse privileges of r.
In ported merchandise has attracted CON-
siderable attention 1t is regarded as a
signal victory for the importers over tho
treasury Department, and will result I'm a
radical change in the practice of that de-
partment. The text of the opinion IS 40
follows: Il am in receipt of your COM
munication Of April O, asking nv official
opinion as to whether certain wool imnort-
ed at Philadelphia is lawfully entitled 10
the privileges Of original warehouse
entry under the customs laws. 1t appears
tEat this wool was imported into the
United States early in 1891, and remained
In warehouse nearly three years when IN
was Withdrawn for expectation to Canada.
very shortly thereafter it Vas reshipped
10 the United States by different mer-
chant, who has applied to have II entered
Tor warehousing as II a new Original i'm
portatior. You ask whether II is entitled
TO be considered an original importation
under the terms of section 1l1I of tha r.
vised Statutes.
Attorney General Williams, in 1879. an
sWered the question In the Affirmative. He
held that warehoused goods could be With
drawn sent across the border and then re-
Imported and re-entered for warehoustng for
new three years term, as IL they never
oetore mad been In the country. and this,
even IL the transaction were for the pur-
pose OF evading duty to which they would
otherwise be liable.
For the Purpose OF Evasion,
"A question once definitely answered by
one OF my predecessors and left at rest for
Icing term Of years should be reconsider
ed by me only In a very exceptional case;
but so far as the opinion above mentioned
applies TO goods exported for the mere pur-
pose of reimporting them so as to extend
the warehousing period, the subsequent
and Garland upon analogous questions aris-
ing under the internal revenue laws might
be regarded as justifying reconsideration In
this instance.
Neither your letter nor the inclosed let
ter from the Philadelphia collector how
ever. states as a fact that there was any
intention on the part of the import r, whose
case is now before you to cvade any statu-
tory provision. 1t may be that the goods
were bona fde sold in the open market
after export, and that the intent to reim-
port them was first formed by the vendee
after the sale had been perfected. EXCEPT
where the transaction is shown to be a
mere colorado one, so that there is no real
expectation and Importation OF the goods
at all within the later rulings OF this de-
partment, the definition established by At
torney General Williams so long ago should
stand unquestioned by me; and therefore
advise you that these Philadelphia goods
are to be regarded as an original importa-
ton upon the facts stated"

Genesis OF the Sewing Needle.


The needle, one of the ~indispensa
BILE little tools and now so common
in all countries, was unknown in its
present form prior to the year 141O.
Tourangan, a wiremaker of Paris.
was the inventor of the needle in its
modern form. AT first the construc-
ton of such delicate little nipple
ments was a very tedious and slow
process; consequently they were
counted among articles rare and cost
ly as well as of necessity, and as such
were found only among the Euro
pean royalty and nobility.
In the old accounts of Louis TX OF
France it is mentioned that a dauCh-
ter of that monarch received a paper
of needles as one of the most luXuri-
Gus wedding presents that could be
bestowed by her royal parents, and
to this day the French and Germans
use the expression ''nadel geld Same
as the Americans and English pin
money, which proves hat such ar
ticles ere once very expensive.
Up to the time of Henry VIII the
needle was unknown in Britain. AT
about that time the wild but beauti-
full Anne Boleyn brought them from
France to England. and it has been
mentioned as probable that the say
ing referring TO the needle bringing
bad luck-'zerstlcht die liebe"-is an
allusion TO the case of that i'll fated
queen.-St. Louis Republic.
