Mr.. John W. Foster has been con-

from the effects of a severe cold, which
he contracted after his recent return
from Hawaii, says the Washington
Star of December 11th. The changes
in temperature which he encountered
on his way home from the Pacific isl
ands proved too much for him. His
friends have naturally been somewhat
concerned about his illness; but late
this afternoon it was reported that he
was very much better today and would

an American, who was making all haste

NEW YORK, Dec. 1O.-The long con
troversy in the Federal Courts between
importers and the United States Gov
ernment concerning the proper duty
on imported ''patna" rice has result
ed in a decision by Judge Wheeler, of
the United States Circuit Court, in IA
vor of the Government The importa-
ton was made by Dan Thomas & Sons,
Of this city, after the Wilson tariff act
of 1894 This bill altered the rice par
agraph in the act of 1890, and defined
uncleaned rice as rice free of outer
