WOOD PULP CASE DECIDED.
Collection of Duty Held Valid in One

Collection of Duty Held Valid in On,
Case.
New York, March 24.-The board O
classification of the United States gen.
eral appraisers yesterday decided thu
attracted a great deal of attention, no
only from manufacturers of both pulI
and paper, but from n wspaper pub
Fishers as we'll.
There We're two protestants in the
case of f. w. Myers & Co, acting for
Hollingsworth, Whitney & Co, of Bos-
ton, and the Sault Ste. Marie Pulp ana
Paper Company of Michigan.
Two distinct questions We're pre-
sented to the board. One related to
pulp imported from Quebec and the
other from Ontario. In each case the
pulp is made from WOO. cut on Grown
lands" Under the law Of Quebec the
commissioner Of crown lands is author
lied to grant licenses to cut timber on
the u%ngranted lands of the rown, SUBJ
Ject to the payment of q TAX of 60 cents
per cord for pulp o. cut. a rebate of
25 cents per cord being allowed on
iiiiISi IL papa pup
il, the Dominion of Canada"
The United States customs authon-
ties levied an additional duty on 1t
equal to the 25 cents rebate allowed.
The board Of classification now over
rules the protest relating to the pulp
from Quebec and the action of the col-
lector in that particular place is sus-
tanned.
Precisely the same additional duty
had been imposed upon the pulp from
Ontario. Under the Law of that prov
ince, however. no m Is permitted to
cut wood on crown lands. unless 1t is to
be manufactured in Canada. As re-
CARDS importations from Ontario. the
board holds that the province Of On
tario .levies no export duty upon wood
pulp exported from its limits. and there
fore the additional duty imposed by
the collector upon the merchandise from
that province was improperly assessed,
and his decision on that point is re-
versed and he is instructed to readjust
the entry so as to assess no such addi-
tional duty"
An appeal to the federal courts prob
ably will be taken.

The original Lincoln cabin, said one
of the owners, has been purchased by
a restaurant man from a colored

loaned it for exhibition purposes to the
managers of the Nashville exhibition

with al old shawl over. her head sitting
on one Of the steps volunteered the in

snakes in Ireland.
Some poor, crazy fellow, we agreed,
and would have dropped the matter
there, but as the last of the marchers

Sure enough it vas our old gardener.
And he won me completely to him by
the sweetness of his face, the grandeur
Of the soul that beamed upon it.
A few days later, when the warmer
winds of spring began to stir, Patrick
applied for his old place and was i'm
mediately taken on. He was not only a
good gardener and q faithful worker,
but he now had become a parsonage of
intense interest to us. The doctor
wished to study the ~"'case,' and l had
much curiosity to satisfy. But, though
we cultivated Patrick a~ssiduously,
about all we leaned in the first two
months, was that he believed himself to
be st. Patrick r%eincarnated and that
he had completed the purpose Of his
second incarnation by Kidding Ireland
OF her last and greatest snake. He was
now only awaiting in peace his time to
go hence.
Cautious questioning had elected
this much, and we noted that when his
mind was on the subject of his accom-
pltshed mission his face shOne with the
consciousness of a noble work well
done. But no art Of ours could induce
him to tell anything more concerning
this wonderful snake or how it had
been 80 happily destroyed. Beyond the
fact that he had killed 1t for the good
and glory Of mankind he was as i'm.
movably silent as the rocks.

Patrick had chung to the snake until
he was knocked senseless. Then the
serpent had slipped through his relaxed
fingers, and the policeman had stepped
on it.
When we reached the first cell, we

my mind. Patrick was rushing about
the cell on his hands and feet like some
mad orang outang, searching with fren.

seemed literally to be flashes of green

DIR. Graham, whose professional In

was much more calm than l..
"Patrick!" he spoke sharply through
the grated door.
The inhuman thing inside stopped
and, crouching, turned toward us with
a glimmer of intelligence OF its face.
Then, selling the bars as II he would
tear them away, Patrick shrieked at
us:

Venezuela Rebels Willing to
Quit If Castro's Resigna-
ton Is Accepted
GENERAL MAros MAKES OFFER
If Congress Will Agree to Retirement
of Castro, He Will Do All in His
Power to Suppress the Revolution
Situation in Venezuela Regarded as
Critical.

Caracas. March 24.-General Matos
the leader of the Venezuelan revolu-
tionists, has offered to do all in his
power to induce the rebels to withdraw
their armies from the field if the con-
gress will agree to accept the resigna-
ton of General Castro.
The offer was contained in a cable
gram received today from General Ma
tos. at Willemstad, Island of Curacao,
1t was addressed to General Ramon Ay-
ala. Vice President of Venezuela and
President of Congress, and read as fol-
lows:
General Castro has resigned the
Presidency. Considering that his
being in power renders impossible all
peace and prosperity in Venezuela, if
Congress will accept his addiction, l
will promise to use ali my influence
with the commanders of the revolutions
airy army to put an immediate end to
to the war"
Since the receipt Of General Matos'
offer the members of Congress will not
give n indication of their action in
the matter. 1t is believed. however,
that they will decline Matos' offer. Cen
erai Castro's influence in the Congress
is powerful. Inc the belief is general
that he will not permit the Congress
to accept the plan ofthe rebels. This
view is strengthened by the we'll
known fact that Matos is General Cas-
tro's strongest enemy.
The situation is far from clear yet,
and 1t is probable that the presiden-
tial crisis will not be passed until after
when Congress will meet to
hear The message of President Castro,
n which he will suggest a solution of
the present troubles.
