MUST PAY DUTY on ALTAR.

Washington. Feb l (speciaD.-Acting in behalf
of Sister Mary Agnes Of the Sisters of Charity Of
St Joseph at Hamilton Ohio. Senator Foraker
Informed the officials of the Treasury Department
that there was fine marble altar being made at
Rome for the Convent of st. Joseph and asked If
it would be possible to enter this article at
American customs port free of duty. Senator For
aker told the Treasury authorities that the altar
was a work OF art, and that the law provides for
the free entry OF art works which to be pre-
sented TO a charitable or educational institution.
After examining the case il decided that,
cordins to the strict letter of the law, fine works
of art could not be brought into this country free
of duty unless intended solely for ornamental pur-
poses. This construction Of the customs regula-
lions, officials say. set forth In the case OF
Perry et al against the United States which was
decided by the Supreme Court several years ago
In view of this ruling, the department held that
under no authority Of the law could the altar in
question be admitted free of duty, II was to be
accepted by the convent for practical rather
than as an ornament. 1t admitted that the
altar as described by Senator Foraker was a
work of fine art, and such could be an orna-
ment. But because of the nice distinction made by
the Supreme Court relative to the admission of
ornaments, this institution of charity will be re-
strained from accepting the altar unless the duties

DEFICIENCY BILL AMENDED.
TAINMENT CORONATION EMBASSY En-
PENsES AND STATE WAR CLAIMS

Washington Feb. THE Committee on Appro-
priatons to-day completed siieration of the
Urgent Deficiency Appropriation bill. 1t was
amended in several Important details. Among the
amendments one making provision for the
tertalnment OF Prince Henry hts approaching
visit and another providing for the expenses Of
the special embassy to London on the occasion
Of the coronation OF King Edward. In neither case
the sum fixed at to-day's meeting because Of
the uncertainty of the committee 10 the sum
necessary The figures WILL however. be supplied
after communicating with the State Department
and before the bill is reported Monday
The committee has also decided 10 recommend
the payment OF the interest claims OF the States
that advanced money to the United States in the
Civil War and able TO show action by the Court
OF Claims. In many cases where money was ad-
vanced by the States the funds borrowed,
and the States compelled to Iay interest
the amounts thus secured. The national govern
ment refunded the principal in all such cases, but.
in accordance with the practice of he government
paid on account of interest. The State of New
York appealed its interest claim from the decision
OF the Treasury to the courts and 1t carried
up to the United States Supreme Court which de-
cided In effect that the interest paid under such
circumstances IN reality part Of the prin-
cipal of the debt of the national government to
the State. Under this decision the New-York
claim allowed by Congress- but since that
time other interest claim has been paid. The
subcommittee, however concluded that under the
decision in the New-YOrk case all claims OF this
character legitimate and has made amend
ments to the Deficiency bill providing for the pay
ment Of the interest claims OF the States of Maine
and Pennsylvania, the amount N the first case
being about $4,000 and in the second about 5000
There are other states having similar claims, but
noEe which have been passed upon by the Court
Of Claims. Favorable action by that court is
necessary to bring the claim within the rule estab
