Decision on Duties.

Washington, May 1.-The supreme
court has denied an application for O
writ of certiorari in the case of the
Anglo California bank VS.. the secretary
Of the treasury, which involved the inter-
esting question of the right Of the gov
ernment to collect duty on imported
merchandise, withdrawn for consump-
ton, at the rates fixed by tariff act
which had been repealed. In 1887 the
bank imported, for the Oregon and Pa
cific Railroad company, large consign-
ment Of steel rails, which were kept in
bond for the legal period of three years,
and part Of the lot being withdrawn.
the remainder was kept until March,
1895. under orders by the secretary Of the
treasury, at the risk Of the purchaser, to
be withdrawn on payment of all the
charges. Two tariff acts had meantime
been enacted reducing the duty on rails,
30 that 1t was then 1874 a ton, and the
secretary imposed the rate Of the tariff
of 1893, $3.50 a ton on the rails. The i'm
porter contended that the duty of the
Wilson act should be paid. and was sus-
talned by the board Of general apprais-
ers. The circuit court and the court Of
appeals endorsed the secretary Of the
treasury, and the supreme court refused
the motion for writ. thus sustaining
the secretary's position.
