STOLEN GOLD RECOVERED
1T WAS NOT TAKEN OFF THE KAIs-
Err WILHELM DER CROSSE.
Thieves Hid 1t Behind Cornice and
While Cleaning the Ship.

BREMEN, April 13.-The three gold bars
stolen from the specie room of the North
German Lloyd line steamer Kaiser Will
helm der Crosse. during the vessels last
trip from New York, were discovered this
morning behind cornice in the corridor,
outside OF the second-class saloon, by
Steward Mayors, while he was cleaning the
ship. The police have reopened their in
vestigations.
NEW YORK, April 13.-Oelrichs & Co.,
agents for the North German Lloyd
Steamship Company, received cablegram
to-day fully confirming the report from
Bremen of the recovery of the gold. Her
man l.. Winter, of the company, said: Yes
we have found the gold and now to get the
thief thieves. We will make a most
searching investigation. 1t seems clear that
whoever took the gold either lacked the
opportunity to get it ashore or failed in
courage
The National City Bank, consignor of the
stolen gold, was also notified to-day of its
recovery.
The finding of the gold on the ship Gre
ates the impression that some member of
the crew was the thief, but the absence of
details leaves the matter open.

FINE POINT IN TARIFF LAW.
Duty Must BE Paid ON stone for an
international Bridge at Niagara.

NEW YORK, April 13 - The Board or
Classification of the United States Cen
eral Appraisers announced a decision to-
day regarding the levying of duties on ma
terial used in the construction OF the H.
ternational bridge across the Niagara river
The merchandise imported was dressed
stone which was assessed at so per cent
ad valorem. The importer, NJ Henderson,
claimed that the store should come in tree
but his protest was overruled.
Judge Somerville writes the opinion OF
the board. He says that articles brought 20
the American shore for temporary use only,
as a matter of convenience. but which are
kept in charge of customs officers, and are
detained for permanent use in that portion
of the bridge within the jurisdiction or
Canada, are exempt from duty on the the
ory that they are not actually imported
within the meaning of our tariff acts, but
materials for use on that part Of the bridge
within the limits of the United States are
properly subject to duty unless made Tree
by some express provision of law. 1t is the
duty of the importer to show to which or
the above classes his goods belong, and
IN the absence of such proof the whole will
be treated as dutiable.

a prerequisite for the establishment OF

required that there shall be well-kept roads
over which the carriers must travel. but
In many instances il was found that these
roads, good as they were kept at the out
set. have been allowed TO become almost
impossible in bad weather. In the future.
according TO the new regulations. the roads
must be kept in good shape all the year
round, and where the service is interrupted
by bad condition of the roads these roads
must be improved at once the servics
will be withdrawn. 1t is the belief Of the

tions will go long way towards solving

Foreign Military Attaches.


WASHINGTON, April 1s.-The controller
of the treasury has reaffirmed decision OF
his office disaIIowing a claim OF $s2s from
Lieut. Col. j. w. Jacobs. deputy quarter

tended without authority OF law for SUBJ
sistence. wines and liquors fc-nished for
eign military attaches accompanying the
army into the field" A rehearing was
sought some time afterward but denied.
The case is now reopened, but the claim is
again disallowed. On June 30, 1898, General
Shafter, who was then at Tampa, tele-
graphed the secretary of war that repre-
sentatives of the foreign governments had
come TO him with proper credentials per-
mitting them to accompany the army Of the

he desired to entertain these officers I'm the
manner due their position. and for this pur-
pose he requested that 5000 OF the con-
tingent fund of the army be placed TO the
credit of his aid-de-camp. Lieut.. ]. ID.
Miley. The director of war approved the
request and a check for 5000 was sent to
Colonel Jacobs chief auartermester for
disbursement. the money being expended
under the verbal direction Of General shafS(
ter.
The controller decided that the expendi-
ture entirely illegal. and in the reaf-
firmation of his decision says: There is no
provision of law in any OF the specific or
general appropriations for the army which
authorizes the military authorities 10 invite
foreign attaches TO be the guests of the
government in time of war. and hence their
fare and maintenance do not appear TO be
necessary, usual or appropriate 10 the OBJ
jects for which the appropriation was
made"
