THE zANTE CURTAINS CASE

Decided by unised States Judge Nor
rov Yesterday.
San Francisco, March SO.-United
States Judge Morrow rendered a deci.
sion in the celebrated "Zante currants''
case today. in which he held that all
currants coming form Patras and Ceph.
alonia, in the island OF Zante, were
Zante currants in the meaning Of the
tariff law, and therefore subject to
United States duties The matter was
brought up BY Collector of Port Wise
in an application for q writ Of review
on questions Of laws involved in the
decision Of the board Of United States
appraisers at New York in the matter
Of the classification Of 5000 barrels Of
currants at San Francisco. which were
invoices a. "plum-pudding label J cur.
ranta" The collector classified them
a. Zante currants, and assessed a duty
Of IL cents 4 pound thereon. The i'm.
porters fled 4 protest with the general
appraisers, claiming the currants were
not Zante curarnta. but currants grown
in the provinces Of Greece. and there
fore free Of duty a. dried fruit, not
otherwise provided for in the Wilson
bill. The appraisers upheld the pro-
test, and thereupon Collector Wise re.
ferred the question to the United States
court for final adjudication. In sum.
ming up, Judge Morrow says that. in
his opinion. the classification Of the sr.
ticle imported and involved in the case
made BY Collector Wise was correct,
and that the currants arc subject 10 the
duty Of y cents . pound. The oppo-
site decision Of the general appraisers
was declared erroneous and ordered 70.
