CANNOT TAKE AN APPEAL,
Port Collectors Must Abide by
the Board of Appraisers
Decision.
A Ruling Growing Out of the Con-
troversy Regarding Zante
CurrantS.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 3O.-The
ion the effect of which will be to reverse
the policy that the Treasury Department
has pursued since the enactment of the
customs administrative act of July 10, 1890.
The opinion is the outgrowth of an act of
the Collector at San Francisco, and it holds
that collector of customs cannot act in
dependently of the Secretary of the Treas
ury but must be guided by the decisions
of his superior officer.
Some weeks ago the Board of General
Appraisers at New York decided that a
certain kind of currants, imported, were
not Zante currants. and were, therefore,
free of duty. The Collector at the port of
New York did not care to appeal, and the
Secretary of the Treasury expressed his
unwillingness to appeal from the decision
of the board, as he was permitted to do
under the law. Within few days a SIM
liar importation was made at San Fran
cisco, and the Collector of that port imme-
diately appealed. The question was SUBJ
mitted to the Attorney-Genera whether
the Collector could exercise this privilege
in view of the act of the Secretary in de-
clining to make an appeal on the same
question.
Section Is of the administrative act saws
that 'the Collector or the Secretary of the
Treasury may apply for review of the
finding of the Board of Appraisers, and
section 1852 of the Revised Statutes, which
have been in force since 1912, says that the
decision of the Secretary of the Treasury
shall be conclusive and binding upon all
officers of customs.
Acknowledgement Harmon holds that
this act was not repealed in 1890, and that
the Collector, being subordinate, cannot
undertake what his superior declines to
do. 1t has been the practice of the treas
ury in the past, when the Secretary de-
clined to take an appeal to permit the
Collector to do so if he thought it desirable.
The opinion rendered to-day will greatly
simplify matters of this kind in the future.
CIeveland's Conchman Buried.
WASHINGTON. D. c., July 3O.-The
funeral of William Willis, President Cleve-
lands coachman, took place this afternoon.
The services were conducted by the
Masons, after the body left the church.
There was a large attendance, including
many officials and employees of the White
House, with whom the deceased had been
great favorite. Mr.. Sinclair, the White
House steward, came here from Gray
Gables to attend the funeral.
President and Mrs. Cleveland sent a
large wreath of white flowers and aspara-
gus fern. Colonel ]. M. Wilson, in charge
of public buildings and grounds, also sent
handsome floral Offering.

sold $50, 900 worth of the treasury stock

that the contract was reduced to writing

INVESTIGATION Ar BUTTE.
Inquest the Bodies of Victims of
the Powder Explosion.


BUTTE, Mont. Jan. 22-The inquest on
the bodies of the men who met death in
the great explosion here week ago is
now in progress and promises to be long
and rigid investigation as to who is re-
sponsible for the terrible disaster. So far
the testimony shows the explosions which
caused all of the fatalities came from the
Kenvon-Cornell Commercial Company's
warehouse. Those in a position to know
testified there was not more than ESQ
pounds of the explosive in the warehouse
but an expert on explosions swore there
must have been between ten and fifteen
tons. The explosion felt Sixty-five
miles distant The total number of known
dead is fifty-eight and three more will die
OF those injured there still twenty
six in the hospitals. Human bones minus
every veStige of flesh are still being taken
from the ruins and it is believed at least
five or ten persons besides those known
were lost in the wreck and their bodies
consumed along with those of the four
fremen and Hoffbauer.
1t is said that on the night of the
explosion there was considerable pow
der in storage at various parts of the city
and for fear public indignation might as

away before daylight. People are now con-
demning the city authorities for not en-
forcing the ordinance relative to the keep
lief fund for the sufferers has reached
$4,000, but so far the sufferers have not
received much benefit from 1t. They are
simply being given orders for goods on
stores and are having their shattered and
wrecked houses repaired.
