Washington. Jan 4-Assistant Secretary Howell

circular letter OF instructions 10 customs officers

be assessed on sugars imported from France 1t
appears that under the law OF France sugars
produced Ia and exported from that country re-
celve IN addition TO the direct eyuort bounties
epeciled in Department circular No. i53 Of Sep
TENDER 20. 1897. indirect bountes OF the following
amounts Sugars receiving direct expor; bountes
OF 3 90 francs. francs and 450 francs per 100 ko-
grammes. receive indirect bounties OF 6le5 francs
francs and 1876 francs per 100 kilogramnes re-
spectivey. 1t is probable, therefore, that the
countervai!ing duties 10 be assessed sugars
under the provisions OF Section 8 OF the act OF
July a. 1884, must be equal to 9sE francs. II francs
and l2.375 francs per 100 kiiogrammes respectively

MASTERS FRIENDS OPPOSING THE ELECTION OF
McoMAs AS SENATOR FROM MARYLAND.
Annapolis. Md, Jan. 4.-What promises to
prove a serious split among the Republicans in
the Maryland Legislature developed tonight
when an attempt was made TO hold caucus TO
choose officers OF the General Assembly. which
convenes tomorrow. Twelve of the eighteen
members from Baltimore City refused to take
part In the caucus. and, after waiting for an
hour beyond the appointed time, the other Re-
publicans net without them.
The recacitrants are known as Malster men,
because they are adherents Of that faction which
recently removed United States Senator Well
ington from the leadership OF the party in the
State and elected their candidate for Mayor Of
Baltimore in spite of the regular organizations
efforts to defeat him.
To-nght's action is looked upon as protest
against the proposed election OF Judge McComas
to the seat In the United States Senate now oc-
cupied by A. p. German, and II Is asserted that
the Master men will combine with the Demo-
Gratis and organize the lower house tomorrow
unless their demands are compiled with.
