.STACKAbLE:
HOME AGAIN
Says Revenue Boat
May Be Expected
Soon.

BY the middle of next month the
United States Revenue cutter Hugh
| McCulloch may arrive here to be per-
manently attached to the Customs De-
partment of the Hawaiian Islands.
| Collector of the Port E. R. Stackable
returned yesterday on the Korea after
a long absence on the mainland, in
which time he conferred with the
Treasury Department at Washington
with reference to matters pertaining to
Hawaii, and particularly about the
cutter.
| Il was assured that a revenue cutter
| would be here by the time l arrived"
said Mr.. Staekable yesterday. How
ever, 1 look forward to such vessel
| being here by the middle of December,
at least. My choice is the cutter Hugh
McCulloch as she is built more for a
warm climate. There is an upper deck
on the McCulloch which would make
it very desirable vessel here If the
McCulloch is not to come, the Man
ming will probably be sent.
mo, do not think there will be an
) increase in the force in any depart
ment under present circumstances
! Mr.. Stackable thoroughly threshed
out the proposition regarding the ex-
animation of baggage at this port, of
through passengers from the Orient
and Colonies for San Francisco This
has been abandoned entirely, and such
inspections will now be made at the
coast. The order, it will be remem-
bered, was not popular.
! In future Collector Stackable will
render every assistance possible to pas
sengers from foreign ports landing
| here. In order that each one will be
given an. opportunity to make dec
laration of effects and wares in their
| possession, a Customs officer will be
detailed to meet every foreign steamer,
whose duty shall be to give informa-
| ton regarding the duties of passengers
| with respect to making their declara-
tons.
This will be done to protect the pas
sengers from mistakes which may lead
to the imposition of penalties for fail
ure to live up to the law regarding du-
table effects Mr.. Stackable brought
with him from Washington circulars
which are to be presented to passen-t
gers bearing on this subject. The cir
cular reads as follows:
1t will be necessary for you to make
a declaration before the United States
Customs officer in the saloon of this
vessel, stating the number of your
trunks. and other packages and their
contents; and residents of the United
States, returning from abroad, should
provide a detailed list of articles pur-.
chased; abroad and the prices paid
therefor.
A failure to declare all dutiable
goods in your possession will render
the same liable to seizure and confisca-
ton, and yourself to fine and impris-
onment.
Section 26 of the Customs Admins
trative Act of June 10. 1890, provides
fine of not exceeding $1,000, or impris-
onment at hard labor not more than a
year, or both, in the discretion of the
court, for giving or offering to give
gratuity to an officer of the customs in
consideration of any illegal act in con-

New York, April s-Clarence J. shearn
attorney for Daniel J. Kelley for whom
Governor Dockery has issued a requisiuon
diction r of S the state Of Missouri souri, today de-
nounced the action OF the Missouri author
ities as amateurish ana high-handed.
Mr.. Shearn said that he had not heard
that Mr.. Kelley had heen indicted by a
Grand jury in the State OF Missouri. and
that. until such an indictment had been
round. any requisition which might be Is
sued would not be legal.
The whole matter, 50 far. said Ar:

appeared before the Grand Jury TO secure
When Informed that the action OF Gov
ernor DOckery was taken on information
filed by Circuit Attorney Folk. which was
obtaining 4 reQufs. ton for Kelley's appre-
hension. Mr. Shearn replied:
"indeedi Who is the solon who makes
such a ruling? Give him my compliments"
Mr.. Shearn said that the first step 10 Sc
cure kelley's presence in Missouri would
have to be based on an indictment, which
Of New York. and a copy of IL served upon
him as attorney for Kelley. The matter
would then be brought into the courts hero
and the merits Of the indictments discussed.
Mr.. .Shearn said that, so Tar. as he Knew,
there wRs no basis for such an indictment
and that any reQuisition made on Governor
Odeil on information" would hardly be
respected, and he was sure II would be Bit
terly contested
when the Missouri officer arrives here,
said Mr.. Shearn. he will find out that the
citizens OF this State have rights which the
