washington, Jan. 2l.-The attorney
general In an opinion rendered today
holds that goods imported and en-
tered for warehouse prior to the act of
1894 and not withdrawn for consump-
tion within three years from the date
of original importation, are unaifeet-
ed by the new rates of duty and that
duties" mentioned in section 2l92 OF
the revised statutes are the duties TO
which they were previously subject.
The opinion applies not only to goods
imported within three years before
the act Of 1894 took effect but to all
goods heretofore imported and then
subject to the tariff rates of 1890.
As to the unclaimed merchandise the
opinion holds that they may be with
drawn for consumption upon payment
of the new rates at any time within
three years from the date of their
original importation.

means committee, spent come time to-
day in conference with Senators
Blanchard and Canery in regard to
his bill and report on the differential
duty OF one-tenth OF a cent on sugar
imported from bounty paying coun-
tries. The interview is understood to
have been brought about by the re-
port that the sugar producers gener-
any would antagonlze the Wilson bill
and the conference confirmed this re-
port.
The Louisiana senators take the pos
ition that the duty adds tenth of
cent to the value OF all sugar produced
In this country, and say at that rate il
is worth in the aggregate about $780,
