JIM SMITH
ON LEATHER.

WASHINGTON, June u.s. 1ss7.-In the
Senate, today. the leather clauses of the
tariff bill were taken up.
Mr.. Allison proposed change in para
graph 4261a relating to hides.
The paragraph as amended reads
Hides OF cattle, raw or uncured whether
dry. salted or picked. 20 per cent. ad
valorem.''
tions, that the proposed twenty per cent.
ad valorem was much greater than the
lh cents specific duty, being about 4
cents per pound by the ad valorem rate
Mr.. Platt Comm interposed the sugges-
tion that he had telegraphed to the New
York Custom House in reference to the
importation Of hides, and had received an
al swer stating that the importation in
the last eleven months was 10000, 600
pounds, of the value of 81, 600 000 that the
price OF French green hides averaged
about ten cents pound and the South
american hides about FIVE cents.
Mr.. Smith, who was indisposed from
slight illness, was recognized for a pre-
pared speech. Before beginning it, he re-
ierred TO some general subjects, includ-
ing the elevation of Mr.. Hobart, from
the senator's State to the Vice Presidency
and the inaction of the House of Repre-
sentatives on the Cuban resolution
Mr.. Smith spoke of the Republican ma
Jority given last November, due in
large part, he said, to the wishes of the
people of the State to pay tribute to one
OF their own people.
The Senator regarded it as remark able
IN view of the National platform promises
on Cuba and other subjects that this ex-
ira session had been called to pass a
tariff bill, which could have been con-
sidered with better advantage at the regu-
lar session.
Referring to Cuba, Mr. Smith spoke of
the remarkable fact that a resolution rec
ognizing the belligerency of the Cubans
had been passed by the Senate, and sent
to that catafalque or tomb, the House of
Representatives, to be buried by
Republican House, Republican Speaker
at the dictation Of a Republican Presi-
dent. 1t was an insult to the American
people which they would rebuke at the
polls next November.
Mr.. Smith then turned to his prepared
speech, but had just bebun when he
paused and took his seat, not feeling
equal to the task of proceeding. He said
he would go on in five minutes, and in
order to give the Senator time to re-
cuperate.
Mr.. Vest went on with speech against
the committee rates. Mr.. Smith remained
in his seat showing no i'll effects beyond
those of slight and temporary faintness.
Later he recovered and got off His great
effort. -

JUBILANT SEE YUPS.
They Rejoice Over the Release In
China of Their Relatives.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 2S 1S97.-The
leaders of the See Yup Society are jubi-
liant over the news received from China
announcing the release of their seventeen
relatives who were imprisoned some
months ago on account of the differences
between the Sam Zip and See Yup So
cieties. Not alone were they restored to
liberty. but their property, which was
conf1scated, has been returned to them.
Further than this the Chinese govern
ment has ordered that all officials who
were concerned in the affair be summar-
lily dealt with. The See Yups have the
new Chinese Minister to thank for this
reversal of the action of his predecessor,
who decided that they were highbinders
and members of seditious organize
ton.
Not being able to apply the laws of
this country to the case, punishment was
meted out to the relatives of the leaders
of the organization who were in China.
As some of these were born in Califor-
MIA, international complications were
threatened.

PERSISTENT MR. CASEY.
His Mfsconception of Legal Papers
Gets Him INTO TreubIe

The old adage concerning the fate of
the man who has himself for a lawyer
was forcibly illustrated this afternoon IN
the Court of Chancery. jeremiah Casey
of the jeremiah Casey Manufacturing
Company, which has been in the hands
of Receiver Tor almost six years, ap-
peared before Vice Chancellor Stevens
and made an application of some kind
In presenting his case, he read a paper
which called every on connected with
the case frauds and swindlers and ac-
cused them of mutilating books, COM
mitting perjury and various other things.
He had much to say against ex-Judge
John Garrick, to whom the Receivers
account were referred, with delaying his
report and doing other iniquitous things.
The Vice Chancellor interrupted by ask
ing him what 1t was he asked
for. He said he wanted list of the
creditors and the amount due them so
that he could pay them. The Court told
him that that was the duty of the Mas
ter to consider, and that he must wait
until the Master submitted his report.
Casey said that the Master was ordered
only to fix the compensation Of the Re-
ceiyer and directed to report In three
months.
Mr.. MCGEE, who appeared on the other
side, denied that and explained what Mr..
Casey meant by the mutilated books. The
Receiver. he, said, had made an error on
one page and stuck it to the opposite one
and continued his account on the next
one. The pages had been parted SO that
Mr.. Casey could see what was on them
and in separating them had been torn,
but nothing written upon them had been
mutilated
Il charge Mr.. MCGEE with multilating
four pages of our pass books,'' exclaimed
Mr.. Casey, with force.
There it is,'' replied Mr.. MCGEE, the
has been abusing every one in this case,
and it's even charged the Chancellor"
Mr. Casey interrupted Mr. MCGEE, but
what he was saying was drowned by the
rapping of the Vice-C -Chancellor's gave1.
The order of reference to Judge Garrick
was produced, and it was found that Mr..
Casey was wrong. Mr.. Casey attempted
to show that he was right when the Vice
Chancellor interrupted him and told him
that he would deny his application
do you refuse me my right to have
that account" asked Casey.
II deny your application at this time p
sharply replied the ce-Chancellor
Casey then wanted to know If he had no
remedy in the matter, and the Vice-C Chan
cellor repeated the proper course of ac-
tion to pursue. and dismissed the case.
