MAY HAVE TO REFUND.
Under Decision of Customs Bonrd May
Cost Government Million.

washington, Nov. 27.--The United
States board of classification yesterday
issued a decision on the protest in the
case of Lucias Beebe & Sons of Boston,
importers, against the decision OF the
collector of customs at Boston, the de-
cision involving the value of the Indian
rupee in cases in which merchandise
from foreign countries is invoiced in
rupees 1t was said at the appraiser
stores that under this decision, If 1t 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
S75O,O00 to s1.000,O00, this having been a
test case, based on the duty collected on
a cargo of skins. The decision reverses
the action of the. secretary of the treas
ury and maintains the power of the
board to DO So An appeal to the United
States circuit court is expected.
The case is of interest to all persons
importing goods from India, as 1t in
wolves the construction of the proviso to
section % of the tariff act of Aug. Is,
1894. This section treats of the value OF
foreign coins in cases in which mer-
chandise from foreign countries is IN
voiced in foreign currency. and 1t pro-
vides that the director of the mint shall
establish quarterly the value of such
coins in United States currency accord
ing 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 19 9-loo
cents. 1t was claimed. however, by the
United States government that the ru-
pee actually possessed an exchange
value of 32 11-100 cents. and the collect
or of the port at Boston used this larger
figure in estimating the duties.
The Importers began litigation to re-
quire the collector to liquidate the du-
ties on the basis of the pure metal value
of the rupee as established by the direc-
tor of the mint. The board sustained
the contention.

Detroit, Mich, Nov. 27.--When the day
broke today great force of men were
still delving in the ruins of the Pen
berthy Injector Company's plant, which
was wrecked yesterday by boiler ex-
plosion, causing the loss of twenty eight
lives. The laborers have searched thru
the greater portion of the debris. This
morning two injured, Isnatius Brook
and William Eggers, boy. died. max
ing the total number of deaths twenty
eight The officers of the company, after
a careful search, announced this morn
ing that eighteen men are still unac-
counted for. Two unidentified bodies at
the morgue account for two of the miss
ing and it IS confidently believed the
majority of the others will be located
during the day At the hospitals 1t is
reported the injured are making excel
lent progress.

will be located. Already the corrected
death list numbers twenty-eight. OF
the dead twenty-five were caught in the
ruins and their burned and blackened
corpses were recovered. The other six
died in the hospitals of their injuries,
All the injured are reported on the road
to recovery today excepting John Kiln
owicz, molder's helper, who is suf-
fering from a fractured skull. Engi-
neer Riley's recovery is now considered
to be certain. BY order of Prosecuting
Attorney Hunt the police have taken
charge Of the boilers at the wreck and
will permit no one to handle them until
nm inspection of them is made by the
authorities.
1t is likely that Professor Cooley, of
the University of Michigan, will be
called upon to conduct the examination
OF the boilers, which will probably be
begun this afternoon. Many theories
are advanced as to the cause of the ex-
rlosion. 1t is most commonly accepted
one that some latent physical defect In
the boiler was the cause.
The Evening News quotes "compe-
tent engineer" as saying he is con-
vinced, after examining the boiler as 1t
lay in the ruins, that it was burned
above the water line. right under one of
the flanges, and was thereby SO weak
ened that sudden throwing off of the
power in one of the departments was
likely to develop sufficient pressure in
two or three minutes to cause the seam
TO break.
Already over 5000 have been raised for
the families of the victims and subscrip-
tions are rapidly coming in.

DEATH BLOW TO FUSION.
Nebraska Popuiists Are Disaffected by
Their Repeated Defeats.

Omaha Neb., Nov. 26.-As a factor in
the national campaigns Of the future,
fusion has received a deadly blow in
Nebraska. In the state where its rise
was first heralded, populism is calling
together it's scanty remnant to move,
unallied, along original lines. 1t has
mad enough of fusion, which has
brought 1t in the past the labor of car
rying Nebraska, with none of its fruits.
Former Senator William v. Allen, a
populist, whose influence for fusion in
Nebraska has exceeded that of w. j.
Bryan, has lost his zeal in promoting
fusion
There is well-defined line Of de-
markation between the parties, said
Mr.. Allen, (which will not permit then,
to be brought together. The difference
must of necessity, keep the two parties
separate, tho locally they may work
along certain agreed lines In co-opera-
ton. The faith Of the populists is too
clear and strong and well founded to al
low them to be absorbed by any other
organization. The democratic and pop
ulist parties do not agree upon many es-
sential points of political faith"
In contrast to the disaffection indicat-
ed in these remarks. is the eloquent plea
for fusion made at the dollar-dinner of
the Nebraska populists by Allen last
May, when he and Bryan gave the prin-
ciple another lease Of life. This lease
may be thought to have expired, how
ever. with the recent election, when the
populist registration and vote fell off in
manner significant of apathy toward
fusion.
AS to the unsolved problem of the ma
tional lineup in 1904, the populists have
determined upon their conduct If the
democrats depart one jot from their
radical attitude of the last few years.
They will stand fast for their ancient
principles embodied in the 1892 platform.
Mr. Allen, the admitted leader of Ne
braska populism, says on this point:
"If the democratic party should re-
turn to Clevelandism, there will doubt
less be three tickets In the field in 1904,
for no populist will accept Mr.. Cleve-
land or any one holding his political
views as candidate for the presidency
The populist party is as we'll solidified
and as completely organized as the dem
ocratic or republican party. and. no
doubt, it will continue so in the future

Preston county, this state, courted Mar

she placed Field with a strange family
when he was small child and never

Another fervid demonstration followed
the chairman's description of Sir Thon-

agreement having been reached be-
tween President Hickey, w T. Van
Brunt, owner of the st. Joseph club, and
George Tebeau of Kansas City.
President Hickey will resign at the
annual meeting of the league to be held

City player.
The league formed yesterday will be
distinct from the new Western league,
as now planned, and which is to COM
prise Denver, st. Joseph. Colorado

probably Lincoln.
N1eSSrS. mickey, VI an bTuHt anu re-
beau were in conference for some time
here yesterday. and late in the day
President Hickey gave the following
signed statement:
After the close of the season of 1901
there was general demand by the base
ball people of certain cities without a
club for me to take the initiative In
forming league that would be good
business proposition for the individual
cities. as we'll as chance to better and
advance by own condition. which is GER
tainly human and right that l have
and which no one should criticise. With
that end in view / started to work, with
the result that the new circuit has been
formed While we are already organ
;zed, | have called another meeting fol
November 90 at Chicago, at which time
we will close up some minor details.
This new organization must not be con-
fused with the Western league, as 1T is
distinct organization. A meeting of
the Western league will be held next
week, at which time the business OF last
season will be closed up and my sue
cessor elected.
1t is believed this ends the revolt.
Van Brunt, who headed the revolt, said
he would not stand in the way of Pres
ident Hickey's advancement, but seeing
no opportunity of getting st. Joseph in
to larger said he would have nothing
more to with base ball.
