Private Secretary Thurber expects the
President TO return TO the white house on
Thursday He may reach here Thursday
morning, but to those who know how
averse the President is to travelling on
railroad trains at night, it seems more
likely that he will reach the city shortly
before IL O'Clock Wednesday night on a
train that he has frequently taken on the
occasion of former returns TO Washing
ton.
The President is anxious to get back on
Thursday as he has much business 10 at
teno TO before he let's congress Ad iourn
and he expects to have little or no rest
for the next week or ten days. He has no
idea of staying in Washington longer
than that. Congress is scheduled TO ad-
journ next week and tho President will
probably return az once TO Gray Gables
and spend the month Of September there.
lie will not allow any but the most
urgent public business 10 interfere with
his month of vacation, and will insist
that the privacy of his seashore cottage

Isle and Attorney General OIL
goods imported under the Mckinley act
and placed in bonded warehouses, may be
withdrawn for consumption at the lower
rates of the Senate measure. The benefit
thus conferred was undoubtedly Intended
10 apply 10 the free list, but unfortunately
for the importers direct provision OF
that character Is not in the bill, The in-
teut OF congress in the matter Is so plain
that II is believed the courts would con-
strue the benefits OF the tariff bill TO apply
to the importers, but the treasury de-
partment is anxious 10 avoid legal compli-
cations. Ia view of tho decision
Of the secretary, however, IL appears that
this will not be possible Goods now in
bonded warehouses ana placed on the free
list by the new bill, win be assessed on
their withdrawal under the rates imposed
by the Mckinley law, and the importers
will naturally protest and sue the govern
ment for a refund OF duties. Importers.

plications by Withdrawing their goods
without payment Of duty, exporting them
to some near by foreign port, and then re-
import them under the free list after the
new law becomes operative.
