The Duty ON AsphaItum.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19-The Secretary
OF the Treasury has decided to take an APP
peal from the recent decision of the board
of general appraisers at New York, over
ruling that of the Collector of Customs a;
Galveston, Tex, who held, in effect, that
commercial asphaltum. as imported into
the United States, should pay an advalorem
duty Of 20 per cent. as a partly manufac-
tured article not specially enumerated In
the present tariff law. Up to within the
last few months imported asphaltum COM
monty used in paving streets has been adj
mitted free OF duty as a raw material. The
collector at Galveston, however, recently
held that as the crude article had undergone
a process of drying by which extraneous
matter had been eliminated 1t should not be
admitted free, and hence he assessed the
duty of 20 per cent. An appeal was taken
to the board of general appraisers. who re-
versed the decision Of the collector. The
Secretary's action will bring the matter be-
fore the United States Circuit Court az
Galveston for final determination. t

The Hawaiian Cable scheme.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1.-THE proposition
for a Geographic cable between this coun-
try and Hawaii was again under considera-
ton by the Senate committee on foreign
relations to-day, but final consideration was
postponed in order to permit further COM
munication with the companies which have
made propositions looking to the construc-
ticn of the cable line. The committee has
received a communication from President
Scrymser, OF the Pacific Cable Company,
binding his company to build the proposed
line to Hawaii within eighteen months
after the passage OF a bill granting a sub
sidy OF $l6Q.00 per year for twenty years,
and agreeing TO extend to Japan and China
within eighteen months more time. He
also proposes other important notification
of the bill which has been introduced in
behalf of this organization. One of these
is an undertaking to carry messages for
the United States government for all time
and tot to charge on private cablegrams
TO exceed 80 cents per word to Hawaii and
$1.25 per word to China and Japan.

besotted creature known as Mrs
Silverlock. Her home has been the
rendezvous of hobos and toughs or
both sexes, and Maude, the eldest girl,
now but 10 years of age, has for a
couple of years been consorting with the
lowest class of men.
The girl is quite pretty, but appears
to be utterly devoid of any of the finer
feelings that were manifested by Oracle
Nelson the other day when she was be-
fore the court on a similar charge.

son and everybody else in the court
room, and when one of their neighbors
took the stand and told of the de-
bauches Of mother and daughter the
girl whispered to her blear-eyed parent
and both laughed.
The only time she showed any emo
ton was when Judge Johnson began to
speak of sending her to an industrial
school. Then she shed a few tears,
wiped them away with the skirt of her
dress and again faced the court with all
the assurance of one who had dwelt for
years in the SlumS.
1t is doubtful if the three years the
girl is to spend at Whittier will do much
toward redeeming her.

DAsTARDLY WORK.
A Second Attempt at Train Wrecking
Yesterday.

Word was received from Reno, New,
yesterday that a second attempt had
been made in the morning to wreck a
train at the same place the attempt
had been made the night before, near
there.
A number of ties had been placed on
the track over a culvert, but the train,
which was freight, was stopped just
before it reached the obstruction
A number of detectives are now on
the ground making Investigations 1t
IS believed the men who did the das-
tardly work are tramps who had been
elected from trains
The first attempt was made night be-
fore last. A heavy iron wheel had
been laid upon the track, and upon
which the engine of the overland
train dashed. The drivers struck the
obstruction and left the rails, but luck
ily remained on the ties, and a serious
wreck was thus averted

HAD THE WATCH.
A Stolen One Found i'm James, Buford's
Pocket

About two weeks ago one Frank Gray,
a colored boy, was arrested on charge
of having stolen a watch from Henry
Williams at Third-street barber shop
but was acquitted of the charge.
Among the witnesses for the prosecu-
tiCn at Gray's trial was James Buford,
a young colored man. He testified that
Tue entered the shop while Williams was
asleep, but that he had no chance to
take the watch as he was accompanied
by another person.
Yesterday morning Special officer
Katzenstein learned from the proprietor
of the shop that Buford had the stolen
watch In his possession, and shortly
the officer landed his man in the City
Prison. The watch was found in his
pocket.
After he was arrested young Buford
volunteered the information that he
bought the watch from a man on Tenth
street for 50 10, but did not know who
he was. 1t has not yet been determined
whether or not charges will be pre-
fcrred against Buford

D. JOHNSTON & CO. PROTEST..
Deny the Supervisors Right to Reject
Their Printing Bid.
District Attorney Ryan Thinks the
Late Grand Jury Entitled to
Extra Pay.

Lawyer w. A. Anderson appeared be-
fore the Supervisors yesterday on be-
half of D. Johnston & Co. and filed a
protest against the action of the board
in refusing to award that firm the con-
tract for printing the Great Register
on their bid of u cents per name, it be-
ing the lowest of the bids received for
the work
Chairman Morrison informed Mr.. An
derSon that the board rejected all the
bids because it believed they were too
high. The matter had been disposed
of and new bids will be asked for.
| Mr.. Anderson intimated that perhaps
the matter had not been definitely dis
posed of. He claimed that Johnston &
Co. had made so low a bid that there
was no legal reason for it's rejection.
CONTRACT APPROVED.
The Committee on Contracts filed a
report to the effect that Frank Lyman
had completed his contract for wiring
the Courthouse and jail for electric
lighting, and recommended that the
work be accepted, as it had been ex-
amined and reported on favorably by
competent person.

Action was deferred in the matter of
the road on Grand Island petitioned for

| examine c. W. Clarke and others in re-
gard to the terms of his offer made in
former petition.
GRAND JURY CLAIMS.
District Attorney Ryan appeared be-
fore the board and stated that, on the
face of the claims presented by mem
bers of the Grand Jury for committee
work, they were legal. He did not know
exactly what these committees did, but
in his opinion the Grand Jury had the
right to appoint certain committees to
do the work while the main body was
not in session.
Chairman Morrison said the law al
lowed Grand Jurors 50 per day for each
day the jury was in session, and he
could find no law authorizing any ex-
ira pay for committee work The board
had allowed their claims for all the time
they were in session. The jury had an
expert to do the work which these COM
mittees allege they performed, and the
board had allowed the expert his per
diem.
Mr.. Ryan said that Judges Catlin and
johnson had informed the Grand Jury
that its committees were entitled to ex-
ira pay and he had no doubt they could
recover in an action
Chairman Morrison said that no
Judges nor anyone else had advised
the board in regard to the legality of
the Grand Jurors claims. The fore
man of the jury simply recommended
that the extra per diem be allowed For
one, he would like to have the matter
passed on by the courts and settled for
al time.
