IMPORTANT DECISION.

San Francisco, october Sine United
States circuit court of appeals has handed
down decision Of great Importance,
inasmuch as by It the revenues of the
government will be Increased many hun
dreis of thousands Of dollars per an
mum. The case was to determine the
disputed point as to whether tapioca -four
should be admitted free of duty as such
under the Mckinley bill or whether It
should be required to pay duty of two
cents per pound as starch. This flour is
used almost exclusively In all the Chinese
laundries in the United States. because
of its cheapness, as starch, and it has
been the most formidable obstacle the
starch manufacturing industry in the
United States has to contend with. If by
the decision OF the court 1t must pay
duty, thar obstacle viii be removed.

Port Townsend, October 5.-The steam
schooner Aleut, of San Francisco. ar
rived tonight from Kodiak. where she
has been tending the Aletka cannery dur
ing the fishing season. From word brought
down by the Aleut 1t is learned that
the Information given to the officers OF
the revenue cutter Perry by the captain
of the English cutter Pheasant, TO the
effect that the schooner Bryant was safe
at Kodiak was a mistake, The Aleut left
Kodiak September 20, two days aftei
the Bryant was reported there. and up
to the time of her leaving the Bryant

ported, Captain Rasmussen thinks the
Bryant is yet all right.

h. A. Castro. who has charge Of the
firms ranch in Kern county. has sold
l25 horses in this city. He says:
I'VE have not been breeding driving
The demand for this class of horses has
gradually diminished and the prices nave
consequently greatly fallen. This state
of affairs is to be attributed in my opin-
ion to the coming of the bicycle and
to the great progress that has been
made everywhere in the state in conse-
quence of the construction of electric
lines"

New York. October 5.-Tomas Estrada
Palma, chief of the Cuban Junta, has
received letter from General Gomez.
commander-in-chief of the Cuban army
"Wyler's successor IN Cuba" writes
the general, "in order to cope with the
rebellion at its present standing, will be
obliged to demand two hundred thousand
troops and 100000 COO and even then he
will fail. as ignominiously as Weyler has
failed. Our men were never imbuad with
more hopeful spirit than they ARE at
present, The campaign in Las Villas has
been an utter failure. The Spanish SOL
diers avoided us at every possible oppor-
tunity. This seemed to encourage our
men. If Weyler be recalled. his sue
cessor here, whoever he may be. will
he surprised to see the spirit of victory
which animates the brave Cuban troops.
We cannot be subjected and no onS
knows this better than weyler"

A NEEDY WANT.
BUREAU TO CONSTRUCT 1T.

Senator Kyle on Monday presented
a petition of colored people of the Dis
trict fer immediate consideration of a
bill to establish home for infirm col
ored people of the United States. The
bill proposes the erection of an admin
istrative building at cost, not exceed
ing $1,000 which shall have a memo
rial hall 10 give opportunity to all
the States in the United States to
place in it a memorial of deceased
colored soldiers, provided that such
memorial is in harmony with the in
stitution. The bill also provides for
the purchase of 200 or 800 acres OF
farm land near this city on which
other buildings shall be erected.
The petition was further for the ap-
plication of the fund in the Freedmen's S
Bureau for many years due to colored
soldiers, now in the custody of the Ad-
jutant Generals office for the purpose
of the bill. Senator Kyle explained
that there were no serious objections

OFF FOR PHILADELPHIA.

On Thursday evening next, at three
o'clock, the Royal Blue train on the b.
- }. railroad will carry away the Wash.
LYON delegation to attend the Grand
Concert and Charity Ball at the Acad-
emv of Music in Philadelphia later In
the evening. 1t is to be regretted and
will be, that more did not avail them
selves of the opportunity to witness
this affair, which will be one of the
grandest ever undertaken by colored
men. When we consider that the rent
of the building is 81 900 and that every
thing else is on the same magnificent
scale some idea may be gathered OF Its
scope.
AS the number sending in their
names in season has fallen short OF the
railroad requirements it will be neceS-
sary to pay the regular rate of S6 for the
round trip. Among those leaving on
the train indicated will be Messrs.
Lewis H., J. H. Douglass, Paul Law,
renee Dunbar, w. CALVIN Chase and
Major c. A Fleetwood. This p. m.
train makes the run in three hours with
but few stops arriving in Philadelphia
at d. M, and all are requested to ar
range to go at that hour who contem-
plate the visit.
