THE PHILIPPINE DUTIES.
Comptroller Asked for His Opinion
in Regard to Refund.

Secretary Gage has asked the Comp
troller of the Currency for an opinion on
the question Of refunding the duties col
lected on goods already imported from
the Philippines in cases in which protests
were not entered.
The Comptroller held IN the Porto Rico
cases that duties collected could not be
refunded except in cases in which pro-
tests were made. Attorney General Knox
believes al duties should be refunded
There is no appeal from the Comptroller's
decision, however
Secretary Gage has directed that col
lectoTs of customs file with the depart
ment record of all duties collected on
goods from the Philippines. In case the
Comptroller decides that importers who
did not protest cannot receive reimburse
ment out of current funds. Secretary Gage

by which it is asserted that smoking
may be rendered a harmless amuse-

consists in the treatment of the tobac-
CO leaves with tanin and decoction
of origiganum vulgare before they are
made up into cigars, the nicotine they
contain becomes so TRANSFORMS as to
render it harmless to the hum A sys-

experiments have been made w III the
prepared tobacco upon patient who
had the greatest aversion to tobacco in
any form, and invariably suffered from
nausea Immediately they began to
smoke. These, however, smoked in
succession each three cigars made Of

''There are old dray horses in this

dreds of them that would not wink
if a circus procession and seven bands
came by. A tugboat might pillow up in
the river not SO feet away and they
wouldn't try to dodge the boiler plate.
But you can't trust one team in a
thousand to stand for the half of a
newspaper to come blowing under
their feet.

old-tlmers, like Morgan Teller, Cock

wear their before-the-war clothes, dig
nifty and pride, but the post-bellum
regiment of politicians is uniformed
in the sack suit or the cutaway.
Among the first members of con-
gress to attract universal attention to
dress in the house was James Doug
