matte manner OF handling the Tatsu Maru

10 Professionally accept the formers claim
that the Portuguese side OF the question
should be treated separately from
Japans and also sustaining the claim
that China was justified in seizing the
steamer and cOnfiscating her cargo. on
the ground that the cargo was discharged
IN Chinese waters.
China's frmness Is largely attributable
TO the vigorous protests Of the vicerov Of
Canton, who represented that the release
OF the Tatsu Maru would nullify Chinese
treaty rights, customs regulations. and
the imperial order forbidding the irnporta-
ton OF arms

CHURCH ROBES AWAIT OWNER
VALUABLE ANTIQUES STORED
IN A CHICAGO WAREHOUSE.
ostensible Consignee Not Known to
Have Residence There-Listed
Far Below Their Value.

CHICAGO. December 4.-Church robes,
tapestries and ecclesiastical antiques
which may prove to be treasures scattered
when the monks were driven from their
seclusion In France have been discov-
cred in the warehouse of a customs brok-
er in Chicago. The goods are said to
have entered this country from France
some months ago addressed to one IS.
Robinson" care of warehouse of Wakem
& Mclaughlin. Their listed valuation
was $500 but recently they were ap-
praised at $4,000. Their value may,
however. be much greater.
Robinson, to whom the goods were con-
signed. is said not to be known here. and
is believed at present to be in Europe.
The government did not seize the con-
sgnment, but merely ordered it held for
appraisement. News of this action did
not become public until yesterday. While
the government agents desire to have an
explanation of the apparent discrepancy
between the listed and the appraised valu-
alton of the property no charge of any
kind has been made against any one. The
case is regarded as mystery, largely
because of the character Of the consign-
ment and the fact that 1t was sent to this
city where 1t has not been called for and
where the ostensible consignee has. SO far
as can be learned. no residence. Mr.
Wakem. of the warehouse firm, refused
information to newspaper men, but ad-
mitted that the shipment was being held
for a client. Thomas OSha ughnessy,
United States appraiser at the port OF
Chicago, said that SO far he had dis
covered nothing on which to base q
charge Of fraud.
The appraisement of $4,000 is not re-
garded as final. having been made by
only one local authority.
In the consignment were the following:
One silk. hand-woven and hand-worked
robe, believed at one time to have been
the property Of pope; several altar
cloths. woven of pure silver and gold
thread with .hand made gold and silver
