The feature of interest in the opening
session OF the September term of the
United States court for the district Of West
Virginia ut Wheeling was the application
of Gov. A. r. Fleming of Fairm0nt, tc
make the injunction against Eugene V
Dcbs and others perpetual. The governor
was acting for his client, the Monongab
Coal Company, and as there was no ap.
pearance for any of the defendants the in.
junction was made perpetual. In the
course of his remarks in making the decis,
ion Judge Jackson said that il like cast

TARIFF SECTION NO. %
INTERPRETED BY ATTORNEY
GENERAL M'KENNA.
Discriminating Duties Cannot BE
Levied on Imports from Foreign
Countries Through Canadian Ports
-Chicago's Mayor Favors Boxing
Discrimina ting Duties Invalid.

Discriminating Duties Invalid.
AttOrne, General Mckenna announced
his opinion on the matter Of section q, OF
the new tariff law Tuesday afternoon. He
holds in effect that goods coming directly
into the United States from foreign coun-
tries through Canadian ports are not SUBJ
ject to discriminating duty of 10 per
cent. He also holds that foreign goods
shipped from countries other than British
possessions in British vessels are not SUBJ
ject to a discriminating duty.
Two questions were asked the attorney
general-tirst, whether a discriminating
duty should be assessed agains: in
voice tea which arrived at Vancouver, b.
c.. in British vessels, and was thence
shipped 10 Chicago through Canada; and,
second, whether discriminating duty
should be assessed against corgo Of man.
ganese ore from Chill, which arrived in
Philadelphia ON British ship. McKenna
answers both in the negative. He says:
"Three plausible contentious are based
on section % which as to strength differ
only in degree.
First. That the duty is a discrimina-
ton on impOrtatiOns in vessels not OF the
United States, whether directly to the
United States or contiguous country and
thence to the United States.
Second. That the duty is discrimina.
ton against imported goods (not in the
usual course Of strictly retail trade) from
q contiguous country, they not being pro-
ducts thereof. In this the character of the
vessel Is not important.
"Third. That the duty is discrimina-
ton against goods being products Of a
foreign country not contiguous to the
United States which shall come into the
United states from contiguous country. In
this connection the words, come into the
United States are used as designating
movement only.
'.Under the first or second contention
the duty would not be imposed. Under
the third it would be, hence l select it as
the basis for consideration. To support it.,
it is said the section imposed u duty in two
cases--frst, when the goods are imported
in vessels not of the United States and to
the United States; second, when they are
the products Of country not contiguous
and come into the United States from a
contiguous country, the character of the
vessel In which they are transported to tho
contiguous country being Indifferent"

LEE coNFERs WITH M'ktNLEY
President and Consul General Talk
Over Cuban Affairs.

President and Consul General Talk
Over Cuban Affairs.
Gen. Lee, consul general to Cuba, had a
long consultation with the president Sat-
urday by special appointment. All Wis
itors were excluded except Secretary AL
ger. Lee carefully reviewed the situation
in Cuba, explained at length all the
points upon which either the president OF
the secretary asked information. Lee
gave his own views very freely to the
president, but after the interview was very
reticent about the nature of the report
made.
1t is evident, however, that the president
is deeply impressed with the critical
character Of the situation as described by
Gen. Lee, as it is understood he strongly
urged Lee 10 retain the Office at least for
the present and return to Havana ut his
earliest convenience. AS it has been
strongly intimated for several months that
Ex- Congressman Aldrich would succeed
Lee and that the latter would probably
not return, the presidents action is con.
strued to mean that he thinks 1t inadvis-
able to make change at this juncture.
Lee will return to Cuba as soon as he
has arranged his private affairs, probably
about the middle of October.
