RETRoCTIoN STANDS.
The Departmental Orders Are Not to
BE Changed.


WASHINGTON, May SIT is under
stood at the treasury department that
the action of the senate committee in
cutting out of the house tariff bill the
retroactive section, No. q, providing
for the reliquidation of the duties on
imported goods purchased after April
/, on the basis of the rates to be fixed
in the pending bill, will not necessarily
result in the revocation of the depart
ment's order requiring samples or 9TH
er evidence of the character and value
of the goods to be retained pending
a final settlement. On the contrary
it is believed that the order will re-
main in force until the final passage Of
the bill There is no evidence showing
that the senate is not in favor of the
provision, and, inasmuch as9the house
is likely to insist upon it's retention,
the treasury officials do not feel justi-
fed in destroying it's effect by failing
to keep a proper record of the goods
imported under it.

The police force is to become more military
in its nature. AS a result Of the recent an
nual inspection Supt. Smith and Mayor Pratt
have decided that it is about time the police
men were becoming mere familiar with the
elements of drill. At present only the
mounted officers and a few patrolmen know
anything about military tactics, and 1t is be-
1eved that the work of the department as a
whole would be greatly improved If little
more of the soldiers nature was instilled
into patrolmen. Two nights in the week
occa sions no officer, unless he receives official
permission will be exempt from practice.
