NOT DUTIABLE AS COVERINGS.
Two Separate Rates of Duty Cannot Be
Assessed on One Article.

Two Separate Rates of Duty Cannot Be
Assessed on One Article.
The Board of United States General Ap-
praisers has rendered decision reversing
the action of the Collector of Customs at
Chicago in assessing two rates of duty on
bottles containing merchandise paying an
ad valorem rate of duty.
The new tariff particularly provides for
bottles filled or untitled while the ad-
ministrative act of 1890 provides that
whenever imported merchandise is subject
to ad valorem rates the duty shall be as
sessed on the value of the merchandise, in
Guiding the value of all cartons, cases,
crates, boxes, sacks, bags or coverings of
any kind The Chicago Collector assessed
the ad valorem rate on the merchandise
and bottles as an entirety. and then again
assessed the rate of duty on the bottles
separately as provided in the new tariff
The importer naturally protested against
being assessed duty twice on the bottles
but the Collector reported that in the
absence of any authoritative ruling on this
point he pursued the course he did sin
order to be on the safe side" This prac-
tice is altogether too common with customs
officers, despite the fact that the Treasury
Departm ment and the courts have repeatedly
ruled that where reasonable doubt exists
that doubt shall be given to the importer
The board holds that unless such cover
ings are of an unusual kind the duty pro-
vided in the new tariff is in lieu of any
other duty, and that inasmuch as bottles
although in sense coverings, are specific
ally enumerated in the present tariff they
are excluded from the operations of the
administrative act.

WARDEN HALE Is HOPEFUL.
He BELIEVES THAT He WILL BE
REFLECTED TO HIS PRES
ENT POSITION.
IF LEFT TO THE DIRECTORS He Is
SAFE, BUT THE GOVERNOR
MAY ACT.

The Board of State Prison Directors will
| meet next Saturday at San Quentin prison
and as the four years of Warden Hale's
administration will close on March 81 it is
regarded as a certainty that an election of
| q Warden will take, place at this regular
meeting.
Speculation is rife at Sacramento, at San
Quentin and in this city as to who the
next Warden will be. There is, however,
feeling among the prison officials that
Warden Hale will be the man. He himself
is sanguine of his success from the fact
that the board is friendly to him and very
well satisfied with his work as chief of the
convict establishment, which is now in a
satisfactory condition.
81 have good reason to believe that l will
be elected, said he yesterday. 1.-THE board
is friendly to me and, although as mat
ter of course there will be competition for
the Office, l hope to win. Ny record for
the past four years speaks for itself, but
| that is subject I do not wish to discuss"
Among other features of his admins
| tration, the Warden prides himself that no
prisoner escaped from San Quentin in the
last four years, although attempts were
made to break away from the prison. In
former years the escapes numbered from
twelve to eighteen for each administration
The Jutemill was completed since Hale
| assumed the management, and has become
a source of considerable revenue to the
| State, while keeping hundreds of convicts
from idleness and giving the farmers a
liberal supply of grain bags without injur-
ing any other industry by competition
| Many other changes in discipline and i'm
provements in the prison have been ef-
fected, and, as Warden Hale boasts, there
have been no scandals.
Some doubts are entertained, in spite of
all this, since the Governor virtually has
the appointment of a Warden in his own
moved prison directors at their will and
appointed friends, who in turn elected a
Warden to suit themselves or the Governor.
Directors are appointed for ten years, but
can be removed ''for cause by the Gov
ernor, and as there is no redress from these
removals, the whole thing must remain in
doubt until Governor Budd is heard from

THE ESMERALDA'S CRUISE.

THE CAPTAIN FEARED THE MEN

IN JAPAN.

The City of Peking Captain Ward, ar
rived from China and Japan yesterday
morning, breaking the record of all pre-
vious performances between Yokohama
and this port. Among the passengers of
the steamer were tifty-two of the crew of
the cruiser Esmeralda, which was recently
sold by Chile to Japan.
The men are said to be the pick of the
Chilean navy, and were especially detailed
under Captain Garrin to deliver the Es-
meralda safely to the Japanese Govern
ment. Captain Garrin carried out his con-
tract and received f2000 for his good work
The sailors have not as yet received a cent
for their good work. According to the
story told by them on the steamer yester-
day, they have been badly treated by the
captain. They claim that they were en-
gagged at the rate of from "a to 95 month
from the time they left Valparaiso till
they returned TO that port, but that
Captain Garrin would not give them that
amount, and finally refused to pay them
any money at all, giving them checks on
the firm which effected the transfer of the
warship from Chile to Japan. Consider
able bad feeling was displayed in Yoko-
hama, in consequence of which, it is said,
the captain and his officers remained be-
hind for the next steamer, fearing an out
break among the men on the Peking.
Twenty of the crew also stayed behind, re-
fusing to accept the checks.
The Chileans on the Peklng say that
Captain Garrin sold the Esmeralda's stores
at Honolulu and that they were badly
treated in the manner of food. They were
to be sent home as passengers, but they
claim that they were packed aboard the
Peking like cattle. They say that they
