The Plot Was Exposed and All Their
Fairy Castles Were Knocked Into

Boston. Dec SNAIL advices re-

Of an attempt TO capture the city OF
Canton by a secret Organization for the
purpose of establishing an independ-
ent government. The writer says The
plot was exposed OCT. %. when the at
tention of the United States consul was
called to a suspicious telegram from
a Hong Kong firm TO its branch In
Canton. concerning the shipments Of
certain packages. The authorities
were notified and the packages. which
proved to be five barrels OF pistols and
ammunition labeled cement were
seized on their arrival On the same
steamer from Hong Kong came 400
men who expected to aid In the revolt
The officials. however. captured rs Of
them. The revolutionists had no weap-
ons. but IL was learned that they were
to be supplied by friends in this city.
This seizure of arms and the capture
OF those trnpficated completely thwart-
ed the aIotempt. and the authorities are
now making di1gent search for the
leader as we'll as for more weapons
IL Is said there are thousands In sym

which originated In Hong Kong and
was taken up in Canton. was first to

QUITE A DIFFERENCE.
A Large Suit In which the Morrison aud
Mckinley Tariffs Figure.

San Francisco. Dec. 5.-Unsted States
Circuit Judge McKenna has granted
the California bank an appeal to the
circuit court OF appeals in the case OF
the bank against the treasury depart
ment of the Untted States. In 1887 the
California bank, acting for the oregon
Pacific railroad. imported b.67s tons OF
steel "1'' rails Under the Morrison
tariff, which was then IN operation.
the duty on these rails was s17 a ton.
The rails were placed in a bonded ware
house and. owing to financial difficult
ties. they were not used by the rail-
road. They remained there for several
years, when the California bank at
tempted to remove them and to pay
only that duty which was prescribed
by the tariff then in operation. The
Morrison tariff had been repealed and
the Mckinley tariff was In force. I'm
der this tariff the duty was s13.44 a ton.
The California bank insisted upon pay
ing that tariff and no more. The mat
ter was taken before the general
board of appradsers at New York, and
II was decided that the California bank
would have to pay the Morrison rate.
The bank refused to do this and car
ried the affair into the circuit court
Judge McKenna there sustained the
general board OF appraisers. and now
the California bank has been granted
an appeal to the higher tribunal 1t
claims that Judge McKenna in sustain
ing the appraisers Is attempting to en-
force the provisions OF a tariff which
has been repealed.

house all day yesterday he sat down
at O'Clock and worked until a late
hour putting on paper the assignments
he has decided upon UP to that time.
To-day he gave more interviews to
members and listened to the presenta-
ton of their claims. No information
has leaked from the speakers room ex-
cerit remarks made by Mr.. Reed to xhe
friends of a member who asked for the
Craftsmanship of the committee on la
Dor. which seemed to Indicate that he
had declined to give that place TO Mr..
Phillips OF Tennessee. whose name had
been presented by labor organizations.
Probably the strongest pressure
being brought TO bear upon the speaker
comes from various candidates for the
committee on ways and means. The
republicans will be entitled to IL places
on this body II the party proportion
OF the last congress Is maintained. and
seven of the IL will be new men. The
influence of business interests of every
class and section has been invoked and
many letters and petitions are pouring
in.
