MAY LOSE MILLIONS.
6y = Word BeIug Omitted In n Gov
ernment Treaty with France.


New York, May 2l.-A decision
just rendered by Judge Townsend, who
il hearing in the United States circuit
court the appeals from the decision of
the board Of general appraisers, under
the customs administration act, lessons
the duties on French brandies and
liquors 80 cents gallon, and in the
particular suit which was brought by
George S. Nicholas, an importer. takes
$45, 900 out OF the treasury Of the gov.
eminent.
Nicholas, on June 10, 1898, received
from France $4,000 gallons OF the cor.
dial known as "Chartreuse." Col.
lector Bidwell assessed the duty on
this importation ut $2.25 per gallon.
The importer appealed to the board Of
general appraisers, and they affirmed
the collectors action. Then the mat.
ter was brought into the circuit court
and, when the hearing came up, coun-
sci for Nicholas insisted that under the
new treaty with France, made in
1898, a year later than the passage Of
the tariff under which the appraise.
ment had been made, the duty should
have been only $l.75 per gallon.
Copies of the treaties made between
France and the United States were pro.
duced as evidence, and in the French
copy the word 'liquers" appears,
while from the American copy the
word ''liquors'' is missing. This deci-
sion is in favor OF the importers, and II
it holds, means a loss of many million
dollars to the government annually.

Newcastle was occupied last night,
and today the whole Second division

station and water works. OF the 1000

Vladimir Wonlarlarsky, a colonel o.

the concession of the Siberian tract

understood that subsidiary company
has been formed in England in CON
nection with the concession, but Sec
recy is maintained in regard to the
English and American interests.
Miners who have visited the Siberian
coast by stealth have reported that it il
practically the same as the Nome coast,
consisting of strip Of beach, behind
which lies tundra, or belt OF gold
bearing sand. Many companies have
been formed to work dredges and pumps
of the coast OF Cape Nome, in order ia
draw up the precious sand whore II

the operation of these appliances will
be prevented by the beach miners, and
that apparatus in which large capital
has been invested will be idle, unless
new fields are opened to 1t. II the ex.
petition to Siberia finds what 1t ex.

shore and operate there upon payment

lIooley, the English promoter, hat
nothing to do with the plan. George
D. Roberts, who lie a veteran California
miner, will be member Of the explor.
ing party. Mr.. Roberts has made Q
study of gold deposits in sea sands. and
has plan for extracting the gold from
the frozen tundra. The expedition wall
sail from San Francisco about June l.,
after the Russians have conferred with
the Russian minister at Washington.
1t will return about November l., and
expects then to make complete report
OF the possibilities Of the region.
Mr.. Roberts said today that, from
information he had received. the de.
posit OF gold on the Siberian coast
promised to he the most valuable ever
discovered. No attempt will be made
to work the tundra this year, but the
party hopes to be able to make some
contracts with American owners o!
pumps and dredges.

STRUCK BY SWITCH ENGINE.
Occupants of Buggy Hurt at Market
Street Bridge.
ENrnr,, E1,,i5 noi1x,

FROM FTluaVS Daily.
A fatal crossing accident was mar
rowly ayerted just before noon today
at the intersection of Market street
and the railroad tracks. A buggy in
which We're G. l.. Hamilton and his
sister, Miss Libbie Hamilton, and
Charles Moss was struck by Bur-
lington switch engine and complete
ly demolished The occupants were
thrown out and Mr.. Hamilton and his
sister were severely bruised, but Nh.
Moss escaped uninjured. The team
broke away from the buggy and was
also unhurt. Those who witnessed
the affair pronounce it a most miracu.
lous escape for all concerned, and
marvel at the fact that all three of the
persons in the buggy IS we'll as the
team were not killed.
The following details of the accident
were learned from Mr.. Hamilton VINO
was seen at the Office of DR.. A. O..
Williams, where he and his sister
were removed for the purpose of hay
ing their injuries attended to. The
HamiltOns and Mr.. Moss re-
side near Ormanville. They
hal come to Ottumwa to do some trad
ing and were just driving off Market
street bridge when the engine struck
them. Mr.. Hamilton said the reason
that he did not see the engine whica
was backing towards the east was be-
cause Milwaukee freight train had
stopped partly on the crossing in Or
der to let them over. The engine, Mr..
Hamilton said, was not discernible
until after the team had got so far
On the track that he could not get
them back and he did not have time
to get across. The team saw the en-
CINE and started to run east on ihe
track. The engineer stopped his en-
CINE as soon as possible, but not until
he had struck the buggy and thrcwn
the occupants out. The team in run
ming struck switch just east of the
crossing and sprung the track at that
point so that No. IS, a Burlington
freight train, which came along few
minutes later, was derailed.
There appears to be no particular
blame attached to anyone for the col
lision. The railroad company has
iagman at the crossing and he says
that he warned Mr.. Hamilton no.
to drive on. The foreman of the
switch crew also motioned to MI,
Hamilton to stay on the bridge, hut
Mr.. Hamilton says he thought the sig
nails were for him to advance. The
engine which struck the buggy was
No. 1886 in charge of Engineer Francis
Donohue. The foreman of the swltan
crew was Charles Harkens.
