VALUE OF A RUPEE.
Judge Colt Differs From Collector Ly
man in an Import Case.

Boston, Aug. 3o--Judge Colt, in the
United States circuit court has handed
down an opinion in which he holds that
Collector Lyman erred in appraising the
Indian rupee upon the certificate of the
consul instead Of the value promulgat ted
by the treasury department, which was
considerably less This decision is in
support OF the decision of the board of
general appraisers, which overruled the
decision Of the collector.
The case came before Judge Colt upon
petition for a review of the case of the
United states versus Lucius Beebe &
Sons of Boston. The duty imposed bv
the collector was on q bales of tanned
goat skins, imported from Madras. Octo-
per 10, 1873 The collector imposed duty.
ngurlng the value of the Indian rupee
as certified by the United States consul
AT Madras. Beebe & Sons claimed that
the collector erred in assessing adval-
orern duty upon a value in United States
currency more than that estimated and
determined by the director of the mint.

PRICE WAS GAME.
Didn't Know What States Bryan
Would Garry, But Bet Anyhow.

Chicago Aug. 30.-W. D. Price, a
Popu1ist and deputy auditor from his
state, will have occasion to remember
Wednesday. Price invited a friend into
the bar room at the Auditorium Annex
to take a drink. The liquor had a
richer color than he was accustomed to,
and he helped himself to a large glass
filed to the brin. The bartender
charged him so cents, and Price left
under the impression that he had pa
tronized the SWEETEST joint in town
He told a friend about it, and was then
informed that he had been robbed. He
fastened back to the Annex and adj
dressed the bartender. Say, pardner,
didn't you make a mistake in my
changer"
mot at all, sir" said the man be-
hind the bar You drank so cents
worth of good whisky"
Price was indignant He walked to
the Office and saw the Nebraska g. A.
r. passing the hotel.
Three cheers for Bryan" shouted
Price. The crowd in the lobby looked
at him in amazement- But the veterans
from Nebraska responded with sim
liar cheer and there was q demonstra-
ton.
Billy Bryan will be the next Presi-
dent of the United States. cried the
now enthusiastic Price. A stranger
quietly walked up to him and said, Il
bet you 500 you can't name FIVE states

will carry

don't know what states they are, but
I have a friend over at the national

FLOATER COMES ASHORE
With Two Flatirons Wired Around
His Waist

New York. Aug. 30.--The body OF Jas
Rankin, a machinist, was found yester-
day on the rocks off Fort Wadsworth by
two sentries. 1t had been left there by
the outgoing tide. When the coat and
waistcoat had been removed two hat
irons were found tied with picture wire
to the waistband. A single turn with the
wire had been taken around the neck
and there were several turns about the
body, which kept the irons in position.
There was a cut over the left eye.
1t was at first believed that the man
had committed suicide and that to make
certain that he would drown had fasten-
ed the weights about his body.
Late last night Walter Bateman iden-
titled the body as that Of James Rankin
machinist and steamftter. From what
Bateman told Coroner Stever, the latter
is Of the opinion that it may not have
been a case OF suicide but of murder.
Mr.. Bateman would not believe that
Rankin had committed suicide He
may have been the victim of strikers, .
he said.
Rankin, who lived with the Batemans,
worked in a shipyard in Bay City, Mich
several years ago. A strike was ordered
and Rankin refused to go out with the
other employees. Subsequently he was
compelled to quit the town 1t was
charged that he had revealed secrets of
the union to which he belonged

LONDON REJOICES.
I'm the Belief That the Boer
War is Nearly Over.

New York, Aug. 30.-A dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
There is a very buoyant feeling in the
city, the clubs and the public offices,
and, in fact, in London generally, due
to the prevailing impression that the
South African war is running out to
it's last dregs. Lord Roberts last dis
patch shows that the salient points on
both wings Of General Botha's position
have been carried in Buffers advance.
The troops occupied Machadodorp, Pres
ident Kruger's most recent capital, on
Tuesday. The Beers evacuated this
place with great precipitation, but this
French's movements. The British cav
airy general had worked right around
the north of the Boer lines and was al
most opposite Buffers position and a
few miles away from him at Elandsfon-
tein Thus, unless the Beers had de-
camped hastily they would have found
themselves caught between two British
columns, and could scarcely have saved
their guns and transport. Whether they
will yet be able to accomplish their
escape seems very uncertain They were
facing Buffers troops in the rocky posi-
ton called Helvetia, but they can not
stay there long without being surround
ed as the English divisions come up. IL
their intention is to prolong resistance
further their only hope seems to be to
retire to the mountainous LydenDurg
region and subsequently to the northern
TranSvaal.
There are, however. persistent reports
that the capture of the DelagOa Bay
railway by Lord Roberts will be accept
ed by them as final proof Of defeat. 1t
is even reported by correspondents at
the front that General Botha told MS
burghers that he would not expect them
to fight after their retreat from Mach
adOdorp and that after the surrender
of that place they could consider them
selves free to dispense to their own
homes. Still, it must be remembered
that similar reports have been heard
frequently enough before, and have
turned out to be i'll founded.
A curious scene was witnessed at the
colonial office buildings recently. Last
week some hundreds of destitute Rus
sian and other foreign refugees from
johannesburg arrived at London docks.

LINCOLN KNOWS ALL.
Federal off1ce-Holder Says Kansas
Republicans Need No Help.


W. M Wallace of Kfngman who was
a deputy collector of internal revenue in
Kansas was removed from Office because
he dared oppose Chester Long for con-
gress. but U s. Lincoln, deputy COM
missioner of pensions, sent out by Perry
S. Heath from Washington, has been
making a trip through Kansas, inveSti-
eating political conditions for the benee
fit of the Republican national commi
tee.
A copy of the report which Lincoln has
made to the national committee head
quarters at Chicago is said to have been
brought from Chicago by Morton AL
baugh who has been transacting BUSH
ness with the committee, having return
ed to Topeka Tuesday.
Lincoln alleges to have made very
careful inquiry into the conditions in
this state and he says in his report:
THE Republicans are going to carry
Kansas by one of their old time majorf-
ties. I expected to find the conditions
favorable but I was not prepared for
the surprise which greeted me. The
signs of Republican success are apparent
on every hand. The opposition is maxi
ing no Roadway on the anti-imperialistic
issues, obtaining but few new converts
while scores of men are joining the Re-
publican party on that issue alone.
eff the Republican national committee
sends no speakers to Kansas and does
not spend a cent in the state the Repub-
1icans will win.' concludes Lincoln.
The rosy view on the situation ex-
pressed by Lincoln does not extend to
the men who are fighting the battles in
Kansas. Mr.. Albaugh and Dave Null
yane. the national committeeman, are
impressing upon the national committee
the need of funds to carry on the cam
paign. The members of the party in
Kansas are putting up literally, but the
state committee wants more money with
which to do business and is not abashed
at making strenuous demands upon the
national committee.
