The Duty On Currsu.s

SAN francisco, March 26.--Uuited
Sta es Judge Morrow rendered decision
in the celebrated Iin,e cuirants case to-
day. in which he held that all currants
coming from Patra4 and Cephalonia. in
the island OF Zantc. were Ianle currants
in the meaninA. OF the tariff law, and there
fore subject To United States duties. Col
lec,or OF Port Wise, classified 500 barrels
of curiaHts at san Francisco invoiced
as"plum pudding labelJ currants" as Fan
te curranIs, and assessed duty of "a
cents per pound thereon. The importers
filed a protest with the general appraisers,
who upheld the protest. and thercupon
Collector Wise referred the question to the
United States court for final adjudication.
In summing up Judge Morrow says that,
in his opinion. the classification of the
article cd and involved in the case
made by Collector Wise was correct, and
that the cucrants are subject to the duty OF
| y cents per pound. The decision of the
eener al appraisers was declared erroneous
and ordered reversed.

A Schooner Collision

SAN FRANCISCO. March 26.-The
schooner Helen Merriam was run down
and completely wrecked by the schooner
Christina Stetfenson last Sunday morning
about twenty-five miles off Poin. Reyes.
Captain Gruggel and the three men who
composed the crew of the Merriam were
taken off by the Steffens. The Helen
Merriam drifted along the ocean and is
now perhaps at the bottom. Captain
Gruggel lays all the blame of the accident
on the Christina S,effens. The latter. he
says, had no lights out and could not re
disccrned until she was on top of his
vessel. To make matters worse, according
to his story, the master of the Stefiens
refused to stand by him and assist in saw
ing his vessel. Both schoouers were bound
north, the Merriam to Nehalen river and
the other 10 Timber cove, which is about
,h rty miles north of where the accident
occurred.

WHAT WAS MS MOTIVE? !?
Arrested on Alameda Street White Choking a
Womau

Arrested on AIameoo Stfeet Wntto (h0k1n4
Womau
During the past few weeks San Francisco
has been shocked by three brutal murders.
committed in q low quatter of the city, and
in every instance upon fallen
woman. In each case the method of
killing adopted was the same-sEanguia
tion-and the marks of iron fingers
remained upon the necks of the hapless
victims. None of the perpetrators of thase
crimes have ever been found, nor has any
clue been discovered as to bis or their
identity. The swiftness and sureness of
the murders, and the possibility that at
any moment the stranger might Claim
another victim from among their number
has created Consideration among the
demi-monde in that and other cities.
Down on Alameda efreet the women
have discussed the subject SO often that
they are i'll fever of excitement over the
matter and look askance upon every man
who seems suspicious. About 10 o'clock
last night stranger called at the crib occu-
pied by Nellie Stevens and entered. After
some conversation they retired. While
suddenly grasped her BY the throat. and.
pressing his thumbs into her windpipe,
commenced to strangle her. She had only
time to give one shrek before the grip
tighteped, but that was sufficient. Officer
Lennon happened to be near the spot. and
hurrying over. kicked in the door.
The male occupant was as cool as GU
cumber, but the girl sat on chair, pale
and sobbing. She stated that the vis-
itor had assaulted her as described, but
was too frightened and weak to tell a con-
nected story. Her assailant was taken
to the police station and booked for bat
terry. His name was given as Frank
Thompson, and he stated merely that a
girl had him in her room and was trying to
work him. He WAS held without bail to
appear in court today.
While this case is probably but On ordi-
nary, every day row, it would seem from
analogy that Los Angeles is next due
to receive q visit from the etrane-
ler. The first crime of this nature was
committed in 1894 in New York city.
This has been followed in succession by
similar deeds in Brooklyn, Cincinnati,
Chicago, Denver and San Francisco. The
path OF the strangler has crossed the con-
tinent. Where will he srlect his next
victim?

The police have taken up the matter,
but there seems to be little chance of their
doing anything with the case. As far as
can be judged the body is that of man

height.

She said that one day In the early part OF
the present week an expressman came to
