This was the opinion expressed by c.

STEEL RAILROAD RAILS.
Judge McKenna Yesterday Reversed
the Decision of the Board of
General Appraisers.

Importers got a setback in the United
States Circuit Court yesterday and the
Anglo California Bank will be out little
over $4,000 by the decision. Judge Nc
Kenna set aside the verdict of the Board
of General Appraisers in the famous steel
rail case, and decided in favor of the Gov
eminent. The bank has not given up the
fight, however, and the case will be carried
to the United States Circuit Court of Ap-
peals.
In the year 1887 large quantity of rails
were imported for the Oregon Railway
Company. The Bank of California had a
lien on the shipment for money loaned.
and the rails were put into a bonded ware
house. At that time the duty was SIT a
ton, and that rate was paid on many
thousands of tons of rails. A few years
ago the Anglo California Bank took over
the risk from the Bank of Califor-
MIA, and just about that time Con-
gress reduced the tariff on steel rails
to 81 "a a ton. There was little
over 1000 tons of rails still in bond, and
the bank sought to have them released at
the lower rate of duty. The local APP
praiser refused to allow any concession
and the matter was referred to the Board
of General Appraisers. That body re-
versed the Appraiser and ordered the rails
taxed at the lower rate. The Secretary of
the Treasury objected and the m after was
carried into the Circuit Court, where
Judge McKenna has now held that the
rails must pay $17 a ton duty.

QUEENSLAND QUARANTINE
That Against Cattle and Horses
Said to Be Less Stringent.

According to official advices just re-
celyed in this City from the Government
OF Queensland, Australia, the stringent
quarantine regulations existing there
relative to the importation of cattle and
horses from countries other than the colo
MES OF Australia, Tasmania and New Zea-
land have been greatly modified in the
direction of leniency.
For the past three years or since the
period when it is claimed by the authori-
ties OF Queensland that CHAMBERS was in
troduced there by the horses taken over
from here with Sells circus the quarantine
regulations have been of most irksome
character.

After announcing the vote, Mayor Sutro
called Supervisor Taylor to the chair and
left the room. The battle of the day was
over.
The most interesting piece of business
that came up afterward was the amend
ment to knock out the ordinance against
projecting signs.
Hughes, King, Wagner and Benjamin
wanted the ordinance so modified that it
wouldn't be blow to respectable business
men who had spent money to erect
elaborate signs with electric lights. They
argued that to do away with the signs
would do away with the electric light
attachment, and that would be an incon-
venient thing for the belated citizens.
Most of the speakers had friends who had
protested against the ordinance as it stood.
Supervisor Hughes tried to have it
sent back to the Street Committee to be
put in better shape, but his amendment
was lost.
Supervisor King asked to have the
ordinance repealed and an entirely new
one framed. This motion passed unani-
mously.

ordered to put up automatic signals at the
crossing of the old Ocean House road and

CARPENTERS NEW RULES
They May Cause a Little
Trouble in the Safe De-
post Building.
A Strike of Journeymen at the
New Ingleside Race Track
May Be Ordered.

The new rules of the carpenters went
into effect yesterday by which union men
are not allowed to work with non union
men. Eight hours constitute days work
and all union men are required to have
working cards''-the same as are used in
the East. So far there has not been any,
thing like clash between the contractors,
SO it was reported at the meetings of car
penters and ioiners' unions Nos. 483 and
304. Many applications to become mem
bers were made by carpenters who desire
to join the unions, which indicates that
the new rules are beginning to have an
effect among the non-unionists. At No.
4S3 twelve were initiated and thirty re-
quested to be as soon as possible.
There may be little trouble among the
men at work on the Safe Deposit building
on Montgomery and California streets.
yesterday the union workmen found that
there were four non-unionists on the job.
Three of these said they would Join the
union at once, but the fourth, a man
named Hope, declined to do so. The
other carpenters in fulfilling their obliga-
tons gave notice to Thomas Day, the con-
tractor, that to-day Hope would have to
join union or be dismissed.
In the event of their demand being
denied, the whole force will quit work and
let the contractor finish the work with one
man. AS the unions control nine-tenths
of the carpenters in the City, it is not
likely that Day will permit them to go on
strike, as he has but short time to
finish the contract.
The members OF Union 304, the German
branch, will soon ask Unions % and 1884 to
join them in a crusade upon the work on
the new racetrack at the Ingleside. They
say that Alexander Campbell is hiring
nearly all non-union carpenters to work
on the buildings, and is paying them II
cents an hour. He is working the men
ten instead of eight hours a day. About
fifty men are at work, and the job must be
finished within sixty days. 1t is pro-
posed to call out all the union men
and do missionary work among the others.
II advisable a strike will be ordered in
order to force Campbell to meet the re-
quirements of the new union rules,

DETECTIVE OOFFEY'S SUICIDE.
Facts Which Tend to Show 1t Was
Premeditated.

Facts Which Tend to Show 1t Was
Premeditated.
The suicide of Detective Coffey on Sun
day night was the chief topic of converse
ton in police circles yesterday.
Certain facts came. to light yesterday
that plainly showed the deed to have been
premeditated. When at police head
quarters on Sunday morning he cleaned
out his locker and took his private papers
and umbrella away with him. The only
thing left in his locker was a sheet of
paper taken from small notebook, on
which was typewriter, From one who
hopes to protect innocent men from false
accusation and conviction" Whether it
had been given to him by some one or he
had typewriter 1T himself is not known.
On Saturday afternoon he went to DIR. J.
J. Clarke, corner of Powell and Ellis street,
who was an old friend.

DR.. Clarke wrote him out prescription
and accompanied him downstairs. Lets
go and have a drink Dan," said the doc
tor. Coffey shook his head and said: mo,
don't want to drink. l am not drinking
just now"
The general belief is that he committed
suicide while temporarily insane. 1t was
noticed by his associates that he had been
getting more and more depressed for the
past two or three months. His home was
mortgaged to the Hibernia Bank, but as
the bank was not pressing him for pay
ment, and he had been regularly paying
the interest that could not have caused
him to end his life.
The Coroner impaneled jury yesterday
afternoon. They went to the residence on
Shotwell and Twenty-second streets and
viewed the body, and they will hear the
evidence on Thursday morning.
The funeral will take place tomorrow
morning from ST. Peters Church, on Ala
bama street, between Twenty-fourth and
Twenty fifth, to Mount Calvary Cemetery.

six weeks. Then if they showed 10 signs
OF infectious or contagious disease they
were sent to their destination, but were
there again placed in quarantine for thirty
days.
In the case of horses the procedure was
less roundabout, but not less severe. On
leaving port all animals were examined by
Dr. William f. Egan, inspector of live
stock for the colonies of Australia and
New Zealand at this port, including the
sheep taken on board for food purposes.
On reaching the port of destination the
captain of the vessel was required to certify
to the absence of all kinds of contagious or
aboard, and then, before any could be
landed. they were kept in quarantine for
thirty DAYS.
Quite recently, that is within the past
two or three years, important develop
mentS have been made in veterinary medi-
cine, which permit of the early detection
of both CHAMBERS and tuberculosis in cattle,
and in view of this the new regulations re-
ferred to have been promulgated. A copy
of them has been sent to DR.. Egan, the
salient portion reading as follows:
WHEREAS, 1t is desirable to prevent the in
PRODUCTION of cattle suffering from tuberculosis
and OF horses suffering from CHAMBERS and
farcy, which diseases are communicable from
cattle and horses respectively to the human
subject: and
Whereas, Tuberculin has been found to be
an almost infallable diagnostic of tuberculosis,
and mallein, an equally effective diagnostic of
CHAMBERS and farcy.
Now, therefore, 1 Sir Henry Wylie Norman,
Governor OF Queensland, by, and with the
advice OF the executive council, do hereby
notify and declare that, until this, my procla-
nation shall have been altered revoked,
all cattle arriving from any place beyond
the colonies of Australia, Tasmania. and
New Zealand shall, on arrival be subjected by
duly qualified veterinary surgeon to a tuber-
culln test, and all horses be subjected to q
mollein test, and that if any of such cattle or
horses shall be found to react to such test they
shall be either returned to the places from
where they were shipped or be destroyed, or
shall otherwise be dealt with as the Minister
charged with the administration of the above
named act shall direct.
In an interview with Dr. Egan he said
he construed this proclamation to mean
that all former regulations were super
seeded by these new ones, and that cattle
and horses could now be shipped direct to
the colonies, subject only to the tuberculin
and mollein tests respectively. By these
the presence of tuberculosis ana CHAMBERS
can be detected within eight to twelve
hours, and the thirty days quarantine
would thus be made unnecessary. DIR.
Egan has written for more definite infor-
nation, which, however, he will not re-
ceive for two months.
