Test Case at Boston Decided Again3t
the Government.

the Government.
New York, Nov. 27.-The United
States board Of classification has given
decision on the prospect of Lucius
Beebe e Sons of Boston, importers,
against the decision of the collector
of customs at Boston, the decision in
volving the value of the Indian rupee,
in cases in which merchandise from
foreign countries is invoiced in this
coin. 1t was said at the appraisers
stores that under this decision. if it
is sustained, the government will have
to refund large sums that have been
paid in duties on Indian goods and
that the amount involved is estimated
to be from $750,00O to $1,000, 900, this
having been a test case.
The Beebe case involves the con.
struction Of the proviso to Section 25
of the tariff act of Aug. %, 1894, which
provides that the director Of the mint
shall quarterly establish the value of
foreign coin in United States currency,
according to the pure metal in them.
At the time that Beebe &, Sons made
their Importation this pure metal
value of rupee had been fixed at
l9.l9.cents. 1t was claimed, however,
by the government that the rupee ae-
tually possessed an exchange value of
SILL cents and the Boston collector
used the larger figure in establishine

More Deaths From, Lockjaw Reported
at Camden, N. J..

Camden, N. j., Nov. 27.-Two more
deaths from Tetanus following vac
cination were recorded in this city dur
ing the day, making a total of nine
deaths from that disease during the
past three weeks. The victims were
Ada Heath, aged 10 years, and Georgi-
anna OVERLY (colored), aged 9 years.
The children were recently vaccinated
and two or three days ago symptoms
of lockjaW began to present them
selves. Every effort was made to
counteract the disease but the children
died in great agony. There are sew
eral suspicious cases Of, lockjaw under
observation by the physicians. The
Investigation as to whether lockjaw
germs are in the vaccine virus is still
being carried on by the board of
health. In the meantime the practice
of vaccination has been suspended in
this city. Another death from tetanus.

CIeve!ard's Mayor Files a Petition
Against Equalization Board.

Columbus, O., Nov. 27.-The su-
preme court allowed the motion of
Mayor Tom L. Johnson of Cleveland
for leave to file a petition in mandam-
us against the state board Of equaliza-
ton of railways, compelling it to re-
assess the railroad property Of the
state at a valuation based upon the
market value Of it's securities. The
petition was filed Immediately follow
ing the courts consent.
The petition, in effect, asks the
court to construe the statute to mean
that the board of railway equalization
has the power to increase the valua-
ton of railroads for the purpose of
taxation over and above the grand
total as fixed by the county auditors.
Attorney General Sheets will file a
demurrer to Mayor Johnson's petition,
and this will bring the case to hear
ing on it's merits.
Johnson's contention IS that the
railroads of Ohio, which are on the
duplicate for $117,000,000 in round
numbers, are only appraised at about
% per cent of their actual value,
while real estate in Ohio is appraised
at about 60 per cent of it's true value
johnson wants railroad valuations in
creased SO as to bring them up to a
60 per cent basis. This would place
them on the duplicate for about $685.

BIG SMUGGLING SCHEME.
Canadian Fur Dealers Evade Duty on
100000 Worth of Goods.


Cleveland, Nov. 27.-Detectives from
the treasury department of the United
States government believe they have
unearthed one of the most extensive
smuggling schemes in the history of
the country. They estimate that $780,
600 worth of furs have been smuggled
into this country from Canada, and of
this quantity about $4,000 worth has
been confiscated by the government
from some of the most fashionable
people of Northern Ohio.
Collector of Customs Charles r.
Leach and his deputies have charge
OF the work OF confscation. Many of
the victims live in Youngstown. Can
ton, Massl1lon, Cleveland and several
other Northern Ohio towns, but Col
1ector Leach refused to make public
their names. The furs are of the most
beautiful and costly kinds. One lot
recovered from Youngstown cost at
least $780,.
A big fur firm in Montreal is az
cused of sending goods into this coun.
try, avoiding the duty. They vert
shipped, it is said, to White River
Junction, Vt, small place on the
Canadian border. From this point
they were sent by express to their
destinations. Mr.. Leach says the
members Of the fur firm are under in
dictment in the United States court in
Vermont, charged with smuggling.
The United States detectives believe
that there is much more of the prop
erty in the United States outside OF
Northern Ohio. Collector Leach says
the discovery prevented the smuggling
of some $4,000 worth Of furs that
were just ready to be shipped.

A MESSAGE TO ROOSEVELT.
Asked to Keep American Officials Out
of Cuban Politics,


Havana, Nov. 27.-That part of the
National party which is supporting
General Bastolome Maso, the Demo
cratic candidate for the presidency of
Cuba, has voted to send a cablegram
to President Roosevelt, asking the
latter to recommend that the repre-
sentatives OF the United States in
Cuba observe the strictest IMPARTIAL
ity in the approaching election for a
Cuban president. This communica-
ton reads as follows:
eve make this request because GER
tain official elements are trying to
secure the election of Senior Tomas
Estrada Palma (the Nationalist can
didate) by stating he is the candidate
favored by the government at Wash
ington."
General Gomez in an open letter to
the Cuban people advises all Cubans
to vote for Senior Palma and says if
they fail to recognize Palma's intelli-
gence and ability to fill the office of
president he does not feel called upon
to stump the country in Palma's be-
half. General Gomez expresses his
belief that the man who has done so
much for Cuba should receive the
unanimous endorsement of the Cuban
people without the necessity of any
campaigning among the masses.
The followers of General Maso are
elated over the refusal of General
Gomez to stump the country for Senior
Palma, as this was the great card of
the latter's supporters.

practically living skeletons. In Eng

Madisonville, KY. Nov 27.-Fully
Is striking union miners have returned
to the camp at Nortonville, and from
their appearance and manners it would
seem that they have come to stay and
resist any attempt on the part of the
authorities to again remove them.
There is now no doubt that the union
men will make an effort to retain the
"home of the strikers" on the same
old site, a quarter of mile south
of Nortonville, Notwithstanding the
mandatory orders of County Judge
Hall to the contrary. 1t is the general
opinion that before the campers can
again be dispersed more troops than
are now on the ground at the COM
mand of the officials will be neces-
sary. A temporary box house 2Ox100

Pittsburg, Nov. 27.-Judging by ap-
parent conditions, the switchmen's
strike l. -ugurated during the morn

reversal of this may result if the
strikers can make good their claims.
The strike was ordered by the Switch

claim Was made early in the day by
the union officers that every road in
the city, with the exceptions of the
Plttsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago,
and the Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago
and st. Louis, would be tied up COM
pletely. The Developments of the day.
however, demonstrate that but one
road, the Lehigh Valley, was seriously
affected. On this road but one crew
was at work and the road is badly
crippled. The company officials, while
admitting that freight traffic has been
practically suspended, say that within
"a Gours they will have all the men
they need and work will be resumed
as usual. The other roads affected

struck. None of these roads suffered
much Inconvenience because new men
were readily secured to take the place
OF the strikers, and some of the men
upon discovering that the strike order
had not been generally obeyed, re-
turned to their places
A meeting OF the union was held
during the afternoon and the claim
was made that the strike was a sue
cess as far as it had gone, and that
within 48 hours the members of the
union, about 700, would be out,

A meeting Of the Lawrenceville
branch of the Brotherhood of Train
men was held behind closed doors.
When the meeting adjourned the men
were reticent concerning what had
taken place. The only announcement
made was that the strike of the switch
men had been endorsed. What further
action may be taken could not be
learned. It is believed that the train
men will refuse to handle trains unless
switched by union men. This action
OF the Lawrenceville lodge is the first
outside endorsement given the strik-
ers and they are predicting that the
other unions will follow the lead.
