the Lancaster at Montcvidco, to restore
Sai'maker Jones to duty, Guasiling all
proceedings against him, thus terminal
ing case of 2innfore' principle that
has caused no end of amusement in the
navy. According to the ships log Jones
had bibulous tendencies and Cnptain
Sterling suspended him for being drunk
early last December, following this action
SIX days later with II trial for courumartial
upon the customary specifications of un
becoming conduct. etc. Jones set up rs
Il bar TO the proceedings. that, first, the
captain Yates was not commander in
chief OF the United States naval force in
the South Atlantic, and, second, that hc.
had been previously punished for the
offense. The court Overruleti the pleas and
proceeded 10 sentence Jones to lose ten
numbers of his rank, notwithstanding
there are only fifteen sailmakers i'm the
navy, and Jones is No. s, there bein.c
seven above and seven below him.
when the record reached the Navy De-
partnent Yesterday, Secretary Herbert
promptly sustained the courts opinion
that Captain Sterling was in charge of
the only United States force i'm the South
Atlantic, the old Lancaster alone repre-
sentinS the American navy, but Jones
was right about being twice placed in
Jeopardy,and the whole case fell through.
Jones has been released by this time

Some writer well posted on the subject
says the American people drink the poor
est tea and pay more for it than any in
the world. and the statement is no doubt
correct, if the experience of the people of
this State IS TO be taken as an example
1t is not because the purchaser as a rule
is unwilling to pay good price for good
tea, or because the seller desires to palm
off upon his customers an inferior arti-
Gle: but it is because there has heretofore
been no law providing for thorough in
specton OF the teas imported Into this
country, and because of the inability of
the average merchant and buyer to Judge
as To their qualities. Congress, however,
seems TO have ut last awakened to the
Importance of the matter, and will, it il
hoped before very long, pass law that
will not only give the American people
good tea when they desire it, but will
also afford them full protection from
authorizations of all kinds. The proposed
new system of regulating the importation
of tea into the United States, which was
presented to the ways and means COM
mittec of the House recently by repre-
sentatives of the trade OF the United
States, was approved by the committee
on Tuesday last. 1t was decided to rec
ommend to the House the bill which the
tea men drew and which has been APP
proved by the Treasury Department with
certain changes, The DurrOSe of the
system is to prevent the importation of
impure tea. The plan contemplates the
appointment of II board of seven tea ex-
perts, who are to be selected by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury, to hold Office for one
year and to establish standards of tea
The bill makes it unlawful to import
teas not up to the standards.
