AS TO ZANTE CURRANTS.
Celebrated Customs Duty Case De-
cfded by Federal Judge Morrow.

san FRANCISCO. March 26.-United
States Judge Morrow rendered a decision
in the celebrated .'Zante currants" case to-
day, in which he held that all currants
coming from Patras and Cephalonia, in the
Island of Zante, were Zante currants in
the meaning OF the tariff law, and, there
fore, subject to United States duties. The
matter was brought up by Collector OF the
Port Wise in an application for a writ of
review of the questions of law involved in
the decision Of the board of United States
general appraisers at New York in the
matter of the classification Of 500 barrels
of currants at San Francisco which Were
invoiced as Plum pudding; label j. Cur
rants" The collector classified them as
Zante currants and assessed a duty of 1s
cents per pound thereon. The importers
fled a protest with the general appraisers,
Gaining the currants were not Zante cur
rants, but currants grown in the provinces
of Greece. and, therefore. free of duty as
dried fruit not otherwise provided for in
the Wilson tariff bill. The appraisers up
held the protest, and thereupon Collector
Wise referred the question to the United
States for final adjudication. In summing
up, Judge Morrow says that in his opinion
the classification of the article imDroted
and involved in the case made by Collector
Wise was correct. and that the currants
are subject to the duty OF 12 cents per
pound. The opposite decision OF the general
appraisers was declared erroneous and or
dered reversed.

TOURNAMENT WITH A BIG STAKE.
Limited Gun Club Has an Important
Contest Under confederation.

The Limited Gun Club has some very
good sport on the programme for this aft
ernoon's practice shoot, but the club also
has under consideration the giving of a
contest OF far more Importance. The plans
are being prepared for a large stake which
will attract the noted shots OF the coun-
try. The plans are for a tournament, mod
eled after the big one just completed in
New York, although the Indianapolis men
do not anticipate one quite so large.
1t is the present expectation to lave the
contest within the next few months. The
Limited Gun Club is becoming quite an
Organization and the sport is growing in
favor here. The club is already known in
local shots are generally known. The
grounds of the Limited club have been high
ly complimented by visitors and the men,
bers OF the organization hope to have
events which will attract the attention Of
the best marksmen in the country. No def
mite action has been taken, but the matter
is being talked OF and the members feel
sure that such a contest as proposed would
meet with success.
This afternoon four live pigeon matches
the usual practice. The contests are be-
tween members OF the club who became
interested in the shooting OF pigeons since
the match of two weeks ago. For some
reasons those who shoot at live pigeons
do not care to have their names made
known, as the shooting of pigeons is not
50 much in the line of true sport as the
shooting of clay birds. Secretary Robinson
stated last evening that one or two Of
the contestants in to-day's sport do not
preferred not to mention them. Each of
the four contests are for $5 a side.

WANTS THE DAVIS MILLIONS.


BUTTE, Mont, March &.-The numerous
heirs and claimants of the Davis millions
were surprised last night when attorney
NJ. J. Cavanaugh filed a petition in the Dis
trict Court in behalf of Mrs. Huldah Queen
Davis, otherwise known as Huldah Smell,
of Kern county, California, asking for the
revelation of the oldest will and laying claim
to the whole estate of many millions, al
leging that she is the surviving wife of
the dead millionaire Davis. Davis was not
known to have been married and his rela-
tives here laughed at the claims of the
California woman when first heard, about
a year ago. The petition makes her claim
serious, however. She alleges that she was
married to Davis Aug. 10. 1872. in Carroll
until his death in Butte. March IA, 1890. Two
children were born to them, she ~says-one
May Isabelle, now Mrs. Isabelle Morrow,
ME Calhoun, living in San francisco. The
petitioner asks hat all the property now
in the hands of administrators be divided
she is entitled to one-half and each OF her
daughters to one-fourth. After their mar
rage Davis went to California and his wife
er she moved to California and met him
again. Mrs. Calhoun, one OF the daugn-
tiers, is the mother of Eleanor Calhoun, the
actress, now in Paris.
A petition was filed yesterday by Diana
Davis. of Somerset, Conn. a sister Of the
dead millionaire, to revoke probate OF the
contested will of 1886. by which John A.
Davis, a brother, was given most or the
estate. The grounds are the. same as In
the contest OF Eliza Bowdoin. instituted
several years ago.
There are now five contests of the alleged
will, but tomorrow is the last day for
filing them. The contestants SO far on rec
ord are: Eliza Bowdoin, of Springfield,
Mass; Diana Davis, of Somerset. Conn;
Calvin +. Davis, of Sebastopol, Cal; Eliza
A. Smith. of Berkeley, CAL; Hulda Smell, of
Kern county, California, the latter claiming
to be the widow of the dead millionaire.
The most formidable contest is that Of
Eliza A. Smith, instituted to-day. She al
leges that the will of 1866 was a forgery,
and that 1t was contested by Henry A.
Root, Harriet Sheffield, of Massachusetts;
Henry A. Davis. of New York, and Sarah
Maria Cummings, OF Ware, Mass. The
case resulted in a mistrial. after which the
petitioner states that contestants entered
into a conspiracy with the heir, John A.
Davis, to divide the estate among them
selves and defraud the other heirs. TIL
petitioner wants one ~twenty-second Of the
estate. Saturday. April 4, is set as the day
for hearing the petition.

II Edgar Fletcher. a bright lad OF four

on the part of Tpatrolman Leppert. who

livery wagon at the corner of Michigan and
Noble streets, a short distance from FIetch-

Fletcher says, and threw mud at one an

Burns was arrested. Yesterday Leppert pro-
cured the warrant for Fletcher. He was
found at his fathers house last night, Sleep
