New York, July 2S.-The first of the
big Transatlantic passenger boats to
arrive at this port since the Dinglev
tariff bill became a law was the Ma
jestic, which tied up at her dock today.
The new tariff act has materially re-
stricted the privileges of tourists in re-
gard to the quantity of wearing ap-
parel of foreign manufacture that they
may bring into the country, and these
restrictions were not generally under

when the Majestic sailed. In antici-
patton of confusion and in order to OBJ
viate it as much as possible, Surveyor
of Port Mcguire went down the bay
to meet the steamer, and Before the
stop at Quarantine had all the passen-
gers assembled on deck where he in
formed them of the changes in the
tariff that would be likely to effect
them.
Thus prepared, the passengers were
enabled to make ready their declara-
tons before the steamer reached her
dock, where an extra force of SO in
spectators had been detailed to duty
Considering the circumstances, the pas
sengers were subjected to but little
delay.
With few exceptions they met the
new requirements in a spirit of candor
that made the work of the inspector
easy, and the delay in passing the
baggage was reduced to a minimum
More than SO, 900 was collected by the
customs officials from the baggage of
the Majestic's passengers.

Governor Atkinson pointed out to his

the injunction was TOO sweeping in its
provisions. However, he would with
hold his opinion upon it until he saw
an official copy.
He asked his visitors to call again to-

final answer as to what he would do to-

New York. July 2S.-President Moss
at today's meeting of the police COM
missioners made a lengthy statement
in reply to Colonel Grants resolutions
of last week. relating TO the suppress
sion of disorderly houses, in which he
severely criticised Colonel Grant and
charged that the adoption of his reso-
lutions would be hailed with delight by
dishonest citizens. New tenderloins
would spring up and corruption would
spread through the force President
Moss further stated that he had sworn
evidence that the policemen were levy
ing blackmail for their superior Off
GERS on unfortunate women and other
lawbreakers, and that some of the fin
est residence districts were rapidly be-
ing transferred into ''tenderlOins"
through the corruption of the cap
tains.
Colonel Grants resolution was lost.
The colonel intimated, after the vote,
that he would be a member of the
board only long enough to have them
accept his resignation.
The resolution specifically condemned
the course heretofore followed by the
police in procuring evidence against the
keepers of disOrderly houses. of enter
ing evidence in the records of patrons.
and also of accOsting women upon the
streets who were suspected of solicit

INGALLS, SPOTTED DOG.
His Owner Turned the Laugh on Gen.

General Horace Porter, in his Cam

relates the following anecdote:
General Ingalls, had just returned from
a trip to Washington. and brought with
him an English spotted coach dog, which
followed him everywhere through camp.
and attracted no end of attention A Dog
of any kind was rather an unusual sight
in an army in the held. and an animal or

came to headquarters General Grant was
certain to comment upon the animal. ana
perpetrate some good-nature0 joke at the
expense of his classmate. The dog tol-
lowed the usual canine custom, and eX-
pressed his feelings by an agitation OF MS
caudal aDDendage. TO describe his ac-
tons automatically, il may be said that
he indicated anger by imparting TO his
tail a series of longitudinal vibrations,
and pleasure by giving it general mo

of his remarks. General Grant took a
look at the animal, and said: Well.
Ingalls, what are your real intentions in

take it into Richmond with your ingalls,.
who was noted for his dry humor, replied
with mock seriousness and an air of eX-
treme patience: Il hope to; ii is said to

the dog at the time, turned the laugh
upon the general who joined heartily in
the merriment, and seemed to enjoy the
joke as much as any of the party.
