DRAWBACK ON DUTIES.
Smelling and Lead Company Wins an
Important FIGHT

Washington, July 21.-In the case of
the Selby Smelling and Lead company
of San Francisco the attorney general
has decided that a drawback of the du-
ties paid on imported lead refined in
bonded establishment and subsequently
withdrawn on payment of duties, for
domestic consumption, as provided by
the act of July "a, 1897, should be al
lowed upon the expectation of the ar
ticles manufactured wholly from such
lead, under section 80 of the same act.
The ore imported by this company
was fuXing ore, composed largely of
lead, and smelted as the process re
quires, along with a domestic refrac-
tory ore containing incidentally small
percentage of lead. But under section
29 it is held that as the law authorizes
the withdrawal of 80 per cent of the
refined product, for domestic cOnsump-
ton, only upon the payment of the du-
ties, this sufficiently Identifies the 80 per
cent as foreign ore, and as such is en-
titled to a drawback on re-expOrtatiOn.
This opinion modifies that of Deem
Der %, 1894, which held in a similar case
that no drawback could be allowed be-
cause the quantity or measure of the
domestic lead could not be aScertained
by chemical analysis or other means.

KELLY'S GREAT RACE.
Buffers Horse Wins the M. & M
Annual Stakes.

Detroit, Mich, July 21-Directum
Kelly, the product of the East View
farm and the property of James Butler,
of New York, won the Merchants and
Manufacturers annual stake race yes
terday. He also lowered the NJ. and M.
tie record by a quarter second below
last years stake. Kelly's former rec
ord was PA. In winning the great
event of the blue ribbon meeting, he
displayed splendid staying qualities as
well as speed. When the race was over
the winner was paraded before the
crowd of 5000 people, wearing a floral
blanket representing the stars and
stripes.
KeIly's principal opponent was the
Colorado mare, Belle J., who failed to
stay in front after two heats. Battle
ton, village farm gelding, driven by
the noted GeOrS was a strong faVOrite
in the auction pools before the start but
he was drawn after finishing four times
among the also rams. The Toledo mare
Lurline McGregor, who was considered
a very good chance, was distanced in
the first heat, caused by the breaking
of a rein buckle. Belle J., became the
first choice at even money and upward
after the first heat until Directum KEEL
~ began showing his business quail
ties
The day was ideal and the track fast.
Four races were finished before dark,
besides completing the 2:16 trot, IN
finished Tuesday. Matte Patterson got
first money in the latter event, Judge
AT Law, second; sister Alice third ana
Ellert fourth. Time in the deciding
heat 2:12%.
The three minor races of today went
to faVOrites, but most of the heats
were well fought out.
The 16 starters in the M. and M.
stakes scored 10 times before they got
away the first time. Belle j.. pulled
away from the crowd at the quarter
and passed TacOmis, the leader, before
reaching the half. Major Chew ysme
out and held third place. Belle J. won
the heat easily The Colorado mare
gallantly held her pole lead throughout
the second heat. Kelly drove his horse
out so strong in the home stretch that
he broke and let Belle J. jog under the
wire. Belle J. again. led in third heat,
with TacOmis second to the three-quar-
ter. Then Kelly went out for the race.
He forged ahead at the distance pole,
the tagging gait of Belle J. at the fin
ish, showing she was certainly tired. It
was the fastest heat in the annals Of
the NJ. and NJ. event. Major Chew es-
sayed to get a better place in the fourth
heat. He had a great brush with Belle
J. and Directum around the second
turn. The Major broke near the finish
and it was Kelly again, Belle J. this
time finishing among the alsos. Direc-
tum Kelly left the bunch and won the
fifth heat with little trouble. He took
about $4,000 of the money, Belle J. So
500 and Major Chew 81 ,000 a So 900 con-
ISOLATION event for the nOn-Winners will
be trOtted Friday.

MOONSHINERS IN NEW YORK
Illicit Still Uncovered in the East
Side of the City.

New York, July 21.-It has been a
matter Of much mystery to residents in
the East Side for several months how
certain liquor store prOprietOrs and drug
store men could sell good brand of
whisky for cents and cents glass,
but that it was sold was attested by the
increasing business of several such es-
adjustments. When asked on one or
two occasions how they could do it the
vendors looked wise, winked and said
something about making whisky cheap
in ''Old Kentucky"
The government inspectors heard of
the traffic, and Inspectors Christopher
J. FOrtman and Max Hahn were put
on the case by the internal revenue Off
Gals, with orders to investigate. Three
months ago they took up the trail, and
last night they uncovered the still and
arrested three mOOnshineTs that were
operating it. The Illicit plant was found
in a subcellar in the rear enement of
No 1866 Cherry street. Hard at work
the inspector found IsidOre VelOdsky, evil
IDENTIFY the foreman; Jacob GreenWald,
of No. 80 Ridge street, who protested
that he was only trying to make an
honest living, and Morris Becker, of
1O7 Cherry street. All are middle-aged
men. They were taken to the Madison
street station and locked up for the
night on the charge of operating an ILL
cit diStiLery. 1t is asserted that an
East Side politician is the proprietor Of
the place. The inspectors promise add1-
tional arrests.
one DaGre1 OF the IlQlSn6Q DGOuuCl,nlIl6
barrels of mash and three stills, each
with a capacity of Seventy-five gallons,
were confiscated and will be taken to
the headquarters of the internal rev
enue department. The still was located
by tracking several women who had
been engaged to deliver the liquor.
Their method was to carry it in jugs
under their shawIs to the customers.
Inspectors Hahn and Fortman took
their prisoners before United States
Commissioner Shields this morning.
They were told the story of their raid
They saw the men enter the building
about l clock this morning, and when
fumes came floating up they entered
the front building. They passed down
the first floor to the cellar. Here win
dow, barred with a heavy wooden shut
ter, gave access to a paSSageway lead
ing to the cellar of the rear house.
This passage was about 4 feet in
height but the inspectors made their
way through it, and forcing in another
wooden barrier at the end, jumped into
the cellar of the rear house. The three
men in the cellar retreated to the rear
room, which was dark save for the illu-
mination cast by one lantern. AS the
inspectors appeared they showed fight,
and one of them, Selling a club, at
tempted to strike FOrtman with 1t.
The inspectors drew their reviewers ana
the prisoners gave in.
Greenwald is a cigar maker and works
at that business during the day When
arraigned before Commissioner Shields,
the prisoners through counsel, pleaded
not guilty, and were held in 800 bail
for examination Friday morning.

TAN OXFORD TIES BARRED.
Low-Quartered Kid Shoes Coming
Again Into Fashion.

New York. July 21-The latest fashion
in mems dress has put the low-quarter-
ed tan shoe temporarily into despair
and the low-quartered kid is again in
fashion after a Punishment of nearly
fen years These low-quarters are
BACKED just as the high shoes We're
and thew are made with the customary
tin at the toe and the soles are OF mod
crate thickness.
The revuision against the heavy soIed,
tan-colored low-quarters came when
the ht-colored shoes were placed on
the market at very cheap prices. Then
the taste of men who give thought 70
the subject of dress turned to the black
iow-ouarters. and they took their place
among the distinctly fashionable novel
ties Of the summer. Like many other
summer styles of dress for men, their
Effect depends chiefly on the way in
which they are made. 1t is the shape
OF the last that really settles their quail
tiles as fashionable.

INVADE A HOSPITAL.
New Jersey Mosquitoes Keep Patients
and Nurses Awake.

Jersey City, N J., July PA swarm
of mosquitoes invaded the Jersey City
hospital last night and caused the
patients and nurses great annoyance.
They drove Warden Osborne and his
family from the grounds into the house,
and then they made an attack on the
hospital buildings.
All the windows and doors are pro-
tected with fine wire netting, but the
mosquitoes found their way through it
and proceeded to attack the patients
and the nurses. The stronger patients
were able to defend themselves, but
the weaker ones were at the mercy of
the mosquitoes. Warden Osborne says
he never saw anything like it before
He had nurses guard the feeble patients
as well as they could, but, as each nurse
had several cots to look after, very little
could be accomplished.
The warden sent out and bought up
all the mosquito netting that could be
found in the neighbOring dry goods
stores. Then he removed the hoops
from a number of empty barrels in the
cellar, and constructed canOpies over
the cots of the weaker patients. As he
was unable to get sufficient netting to
go around, the other patients had to do
the best they could. None of them was
able to get to sleep until after daylight,
when the invaders. retired to the cell
ings and walls to take a little rest them
selves.
The employees and convalescent
patients spent a day trying to evict the
mosquitoes, and when night came the
wards were pretty well cleared.

TILTED WIDOWASKS MONEY
Man Who Promised to Wed Her Sued
for $4,000

Anderson, Ind, July 21.-Afrs. Lydia
Ferguson of Lima, O.. has filed a $1O,-
900 breach of promise suit against
Francis Watkins. one of the Oldest and
best known men in this country. She
is but SO and he has passed SIS.
It seems Watkins had been a widower
but a short time a year ago when he
met Mrs. Ferguson and fell in love with
her. He wrote her letters as affection
ate as any 1S-year-old lover could have
penned. At last he asked her to meet
him at Indianapolis January Is and
they would be married.
Mrs. Ferguson went to Indianapolis
but Watkins two daughters, both as
old as the bride-elect, headed off the
lovers. They met her at the depot and
e told her they did not propose to have
any second Mrs. Watkins about their
place. The family won over their faith
er and he never even wrote to her to
explain. She returned home and the
suit is the result.
Watkins stands very high in north
Indiana Methodist Episcopal conference
work and is one of the prominent Ma
sons of Indiana. He is well able to pay
the sum demanded.

ARMY OF 10000
Is Expected to Leave Chickamauga
for Porto Rico.

Chickamauga Park, July 21.-GeneraI
Brooke and Colonel William Richards,
adjutant general of the First corps who
went to Washington to confer with
Secretary Alger upon the proposed
Porto Rican expedition, have returned
to Camp Thomas.
General Brooke declined to be inter
viewed, preferring that nothing official
shall be said until orders are issued.
The plans for an important movement
of troops from Camp Thomas are, how
ever, progressing. Colonel Lee, chief
quartermaster, was in consultation with
a number of railway men this after
noon, hurrying as rapidly as possible
the arrangements of transportation.
1t was learned from excellent authOri-
ty that it is the earnest desire of Cen
era1 Brooke that the entire First corps
from the expeditionary force going from
here. This would mean a departure
from Chickamauga of about 10000 vol
unteers.
Colonel Hartsuff, chief surgeon, said
today that the medical department of
the First corps had all the supplies of
every nature necessary for the eXpedi-
ton about to be entered upon.
The troops that go out" added Col
onel Hartsuff, will go equipped COM
pletely, not lacking in any essential fea-
ture."
Colonel Rockwell handed out for dis
tribution in the First and Second di-
visions of the First corps $780, 900 rounds
of ball cartridges.
The artillery brigade received a large
quantity of equipage.
A large quantity of ordnance stores
was forwarded from Camp Thomas
yesterday for the Third Wisconsin at
Charleston.
Several hundred thousand rounds of
ammunition arrived last night and will
be distributed at once.
