Foreign Printed Copies of ssBen-Hur,
to Be Admitted Into This Country.

WASHINGTON, March S.--Assistant Sec
retary Curtis has received from Solicitor
general Reeve of the Treasury Department,
his opinion on the request of Harper &
Brothers, the New York publishers, that
instructions be issued to collectors of Gus
toms to refuse admission into the United

Hur,'' published abroad, in violation of the
copyright secured in this country. The
book was copyrighted in 1880, and the solici-
tor holds in effect that the act of March
5, 1891, is not applicable to books copy
righted prior to that date. Therefore. the
book under consideration is entitled to en-
ter. The general effect of this opinion will
be to admit into this country foreign edi-
tions of all American books published and
copyrighted before July ], 1891, the date the
act went into effect

KILLED SIXTEEN DUCKS.
President Cleveland Had Fair Luck
Yesterday Shooting Birds.

CAPE IIATTERAS, y. c.. March S.-AIr.
Cleveland was up bright and early this
morning and ready for the days hunt.
When he came on the Violet's deck to cast
his eye weatherward, If he felt a pang
rheumatic or otherwise. he did not show
it. To all appearances he had no other
cares than those of a sportsman when he
left the steamer at O'Clock for the blinds.
The weather was unfavorabe for duck
shooting to-day. 1t was warm and thick
with light rain at Intervals and southerly
squalls-just the weather when water fowls
scatter over deep water-and only single
birds are attracted TO the decoys. The
President spent about four hours in blind
and had lair luck. kiiIing sixteen birds.
The other gentlemen of the party aboard
the Violet spent the day ashore on the
cape inspecting the lighthouse and grounds.
Mr.. Cleveland will spend tomorrow among
the ducks if the weather will permit. All
of the party are we'll and enjoying the trip.

SUGAR Is ADVANCING.
Result of Agreement Between In
dependent Rcfiners and the Trust.

PHILADELPHIA, March Sit was stated
to-day, on good authority. that the inde-
pendent sugar refneries have combined
with the Sugar Trust to maintain prices.
Representatives of the independent refiner-
les have been in New York city for two
days past and have, it is said, entered into
an agreement to stand together and pre-
vent any cut in the price of sugar The
fact that the sugar market has been in bet
ter condition during the past two days
seems to bear out the statement that there
will be no further clash between the trust
and the independent operators. There is
good demand especially from country buy
ers and values are strong. with Nos. 4. 7,
III and H. one-sixteenth OF cent higher
than yesterdays prices. 1t is expected that
prices of all hard sugars Will advance an
other sixteenth by Monday.

Western TheoIosicaI Seminary.

PITTSBURG. March s.-The meeting of
the Presbyterian General Assembly COM
mittee of control of seminaries and the
trustees of the Western Theological Sem
mary, adjourned without coming to any
conclusion on the question of transferring
the control of the seminary to the general
assembly. In fact, the trustees of the
seminary do not recognize that the general
assembly has the power that it already
claims over the institution and it is NOT
probable that they will consent TO changes
in the charter TO comply with the request
of the general assembly committee.
