TOURISTS BAGGAGE.
Circular from Secretary Gage Re-
garding the New Tariff Law.

garding the New Tariff Law.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 4.-Secretary Gage
to-day issued a circular to collectors of
customs regarding the provision in the new
tariff law relating to admission of personal
baggage. The provision of the law places
wearing apparel and personal effects on the
free list, but this exemption only includes
such articles as actually accompany and
are in the use of and as are necessary ana
appropriate for the wear and use of such
persons, for the immediate purposes of the
journey and present comfort and conven~
fence. In case of residents of the United
States returning from abroad, all wearing
apparel and other personal effects taken by
them out of the United States to foreign
countries shall be admitted free of duty,
without regard to their value upon their
identity being established. but no more than
800 in value of articles purchased abroad
by such residents of the United States shall
be admitted free of duty on their return.
The term wearing apparel in actual use
OF persons arriving in the United States,
strued to embrace articles not actually ac-
companying the passenger but which are
forwarded months after the owners ar
rival. No such liberal construction can be
passed on the law it now exists, under
which only such articles actually accom-
panying the passenger are entitled to free
entry"
1t will be seen that the law now estab-
fishes 800 as the maximum value of ar
ticles purchased abroad which can be
brought in free of duty by passengers who
are residents of the United States. When
ever, therefore, resident shall declare
articles in excess of 800 in value which are
dutiable under this provision ii shall be
optional with him to specify the articles
which are in excess. The circular defines
the term residents of the United States
returning from abroad to include all per-
sons leaving the United States and making
a journey abroad and during their absence
having no fixed place of abode Persons
who have been abroad two years or more,
and who have had during that time a tixec
place OF abode for one year or more, Will
be considered nonresidentS within the
meaning of this law,

Patience with the Living.

Sweet friend, when thou and are gone
Beyond earth's weary labor,
When small shall be our need of grace
From comrade or from neighbour;
Passed all the strife, the toll, the care,
And done with all the signing
What tender truth shall We have gained?
Alas, by simple dyingl
Then lips too CHEEKY OF their praise
Will tell our merits over,
And eyes too swift our faults 20 see
Shall no defect discover.
Then hands that would not lift stone
Where stones were thick to cumber
Our steep hill path, will scatter flowers
Above our pillowed slumber.
Sweet friend, perchapce both thou and
Ere Love is past forgiving,
Should take the earnest lesson home
Be patient with the living.
Today's repressed rebuke may rave
Our binding tears tomorrow;
Then patience, cen when keenest edge,
May whet 3 nameless sorrowi
IT'S easy TO be gentle when
Deaths silence shames our clamor,
And easy to discern the best
Through nemory's mystic glamor;
But wise it were for thee and me,
Ere Love is past forgiving,
To take tho tender lesson home
Be patient with the living.

Peru:
Several exciting incidents marked the
attempts to open the Peruvian Congress
yesterday and today. As yet there has
been no quorum, and 1t seems that the differ
cnces which have arisen may indefinitely
postpone the session.
The deputies, who are government sup
porters, in order to avoid defeat by the
opposition in the election OF a president Of
tine chamber, retired yesterday before the
session was called TO order. This action
on their part caused Deputy Durand 10 con-
denim In severe terms what he called the
police inirigues" Great applause from
his followers greeted "a vigorous attack
which he made on the government,
Durand and several friends started to
leave the chamber few minutes later.
When they appeared in the street they were
attacked by a crowd OF Democrats. Stones
and sticks were hurled at them, and for a
tire q riot seemed imminent.
Finally DuTaDd and bis party reached the
Hotel France. where they sought refuge.
The crowd then surrounded the hotel and
tried 10 force its way in. This was pre-
vented by the proprietor, who stood in the
doorway with the Freach flag and demanded
protection for himself and property in the
name o. France The police then dispersed
the crowd
The Peruvian press censures the conduct
Of the police, who, 1T is declared, only
