COurt-A Fine Point.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec, 5.-united
states Circuit Judge McEennn has
granted the California Bank appeal to
the circuit court Of appeals In the case
OF the bank against the treasury de-
partment OF the United States, In 1851
the California Bank, acting for the Or
egon & Pacific railroad, imported b,6IS
tons OF steel "T" rails. Under the Nor
rIson tariff, which was then In opera
tlon, the duty on these rails was SIT n
ton. The rails were placed IN bonded
warehouses, and owing 10 financial
difficulties they were not used by the
railroad. They remained there for sew
eral years, when the California Bank
ATTEMPTED to remove them and to pay
only that duty which was prescribed
By the tarift then In operation. The
tariff had been repealed and the Nc
Kinley tariff was In force. Under this
tariff the duty was SIS ~ q ton. The
bank Insisted upon paying that tarit
and no more. The matter was taken be-
fore the general board OF appraisers at
New York and It was decided that tho
California Bank would have to pay the
Morrison tariff rate The bank refused
10 do this and carried the affhlr into
the circuit court. Judge Mckehna
there sustained the general board ~
appraisers, and now the California
Bank has been granted an appeal to
the higher tribunal. II claims that

praIsers Is attempting to enforce the
