GENERAL APPRAISERS
Submit Report to the Secretary of the
Treasury

Washington, November 26.-The board of
United States general appraisers has sub
mitted to the secretary of the treasury its
report for the year ended September 30,
1899. Particular attention is called to the
fact that during the last year the board
has received 21,S70 protests arising under
the provisions of the tariff act of July "a,
1897, and that the number of protests now
suspended to await the decision of the
courts on analogous issues is 400. of which
nearly half arise under the tariff act of
1897
In 10000 of these suspended protests 1t Is
said only about a half dozen issues are in
volved, and probably not 100 issues are In
volved in the whole number. Disclaiming
any purpose to reflect upon the delay of the
courts In deciding customs cases after they
have passed from the jurisdiction of the
board it is suggested that it would be
most desirable contamination If more
speedy disposition of these cases could be
added to circuit courts and especially in
that of the southern district of New York.
Five-sxths of all the appeals taken in GUS
tom cases go to the higher court where less
than two months and frequently not more
than six weeks in a year are devoted to
them.
In view of this situation. the board sug-
gests that the secretary of the treasury rec
ommend to congress the enactment of law
authorizing the appointment of a special
circuit judge whose special duty shall be
to hear and decide customs cases.

DECIDED STRUGGLE
TO PLACE ORDERS
Condition of Iron Market at
Close of the Week.
STRONG DEMAND CONTINUES
One Hundred and Fifty Thousand Tons
of Pig Will Be Required in Build
ing Cars During the
Coming Year
STRONG DEMAND CONTINUES

Cincinnati, November %. Especial. THE
iron market for the week ending yesterday
is summed up in Rogers, Brown & Com
pany's review as follows:
"There has been a decided struggle
through the past week to place orders for
certain kinds of iron, even for future de-
livery. One prominent furnace company
had two Opportunities from different
sources before it, each for 1000 tons, deliv-
cries to July, 1900. The furnace had but A.
900 tons possible at it's disposal for the
period and was much in the state of the
festive captain, who in his embarrassment
exclaimed: How happy could 1 be with
either were t'other dear charmer away
1.-THE demand continues liberal and gen.
eral. Spot iron grows scarcer constantly,
and Notwithstanding slightly increased
production, consumption keeps still in the
lead.
1.-THE Napier furnace has come into the
market again. which will be welcome in
formation to the former customers of that
good brand.
SIN view of THE fact that Rome, Alfalfa
and Shelby are well sold up in the chilling
grades for about the whole of next year,
1T is gratifying to announce that the IA
NOUS Cherokee, of Cedartown, Ga, will
blow in about December Is, producing char
coal iron of rare excellence.
1.-THE railroads continue to buy equip
ment. The car works of the country are
figuring today on over $4,000 cars for 1900
delivery, the building of which will require
100000 tons of pig iron in various forms.
1.-The coke situation is as perplexjng as
can be, the demand exceeding supply. The
situation would be easier had railroads ad-
equate rolling stock. The market closes in
good form.

paper Office located on Lake Superior brings
back memories of the type of country ed
itor so rapidly disappearing now, so power
full in his day This Lake Superior office
was log hut built in 1855 and occupied for
a time by one of those pioneers of the
press whom the younger generation of
newspaper men of this hour will never see.
Not that the strong country editor of today
is degeneration from his predecessor, but
he Is different. The modern swirl of BUSH
ness life in striking deadly blow at the
country town has taken into its current
the old-time editor and given back an en-
tirety new type, with little more of the
city to his cut, little less of the fine edges
that marked the character of the country
editor of twenty and thirty years ago.
If you will pass to the press archives
of the olden country editor of Illinois,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, you will find

He was unpurchasable. The statement

ems are proportionately high, though
ducks, which are Chinese speciality,
are comparatively cheap.
From the above prices it will be seen
that the thrifty dairy or truck farmer
from the States could just make things
hum if he could get in here. That,
however, would he the rub. A man
whom I knew Of had the very proper
idea that q small poultry, dairy and
vegetable ranch would pay excellent
profit. There is a popular superstition
that chickens will not do well here. It
is mistake. As good roast, fried and
fricasseed fowl as one ever tasted is
served on the various lines of inter is

from farmers alongshore. Poultry of
the best quality can be raised near
Honolulu if one knows how and will
take the trouble. At present Cinnamon

The fast decaying ancient American
boarding house and hotel system, where
you are forced to take meals where you
lodge, however much you don't like it,
still prevails in all it's enormity in

away from it, and claim our American
privilege Of eating where, when and
what we please. If really first class,

would coin money, think. The res
taurants, the few there are, are chiefly
kept by Cinnamon. But these are dingy,
small holes of places, where one does
not like to go. A first class lodging

and cold water, would be filed to over
