tervniIing Duty Before Appraisers.

NEW YORK. March 20.-The protest OF
Gustave A. jain * Co. against the assess.
ment of the countervailing duties on a lot
of Russian sugar imported by them was
sent from the custom house TO the board Of
United States general appraisers in the
public stores to-day and the next thing in
order will be "A hearing before the board
OF classification of the general appraisers.
The sugar in question was produced and
refined In Russia, although IL was shipped
via Hamburg. There were 3.0SS bags in
the lot, and the invoice value was Sl5.3S9:
the regular. that is. ordinary duty. as de-
termined by polariscopsc tests. was 1905.
The countervailing duty assessed was 81
S27. The regular and extra duty together
thus exceed the invoice value OF the sugar.
The question TO be passed upon by the
board of classification is as to whether the
payment made by the Russian government
when the sugar was exported was I'm reality
a bounty, as contemplated by Section 5. or
merely a rebate of taxes allowed on goods
exported.
