Second Escape.

This is the second time that Chinese
have escaped from the rickety old de-
tention shed. Last September eleven
four of them awaiting deportation
sawed their way to liberty through the
roof
Sensational charges made at the time
by petty officer of the liner Magnolia
that Chinese were being landed by the
process of substitution" led to an in
vestigation recently, which, however,
did not disclose anything tending to
support the charges. The question was
brought up during the investigation as
20 who is actually responsible for the
safe keeping of the Chinese pending the
determination of their right to land.
the local immigration authorities or the
Pacific Mail Steamship company. Each
asserted. that the responsibility rested
upon the other. and the question has
not yet been determined.
Last nights escape, IL is believed,
will result in another and more rigid
inquiry into the conditions at the de-
tention shed, which makes possible the
escape of Chinese held awaiting the ac-
ton of the immigration authorities.

Duty on Corundum.

These are some of the recommendations
which have been made for the readjust-
ment of the tariff as affecting the sun
dries schedule; Corunoum. mineral OF
which emery is an impure variety, viii
be specifically mentioned in the para
graph imposing a duty Of cent per
pound on emery grains and emery. While
II has been the general impression thai
corundum occurred sparingly in nature, il
is now known that rich deposits of this
abrasive material are to be found in North
Carolina, Georgia and Montana
1t is proposed to impose on emeralds
rubieS and Sapphires the same duty now
paid on diamonds. Leather goods are
to be more specifically enumerated in the
new tariff bill under a new paragraph
separating manufactured articles of leath-
from the provision for leather and
also making specific provision for raw
hide articles.
Photographs, graphophones and similar
articles and violin resin. ii has been sug-
gested. should be specifically provided for.
Duty on Paintings.
In view of the efforts being made to
secure the admission as paintings at a
low rate of duty of photographs. hthO-
graphs and calendars which have been
passed over with a brush a provision has
been suggested excluding paintings, so
called. made wholly or in part by stencil
ing or other mechanical process Several
suits are now pending in which the i'm
porters contend that Autographs painted
over by hand and calendars decorated by
hand painting are entitled to entry as
paintings

NEW DUTIES TO BE LEVIED
TROUBLE OVER CLASSIFICATION
OF BEADED CURTAINS.

Washington. Nov. 2s.-Numerous recon-
mendations have been made for the re-
vision of the tariff schedule on sundrfes.
which was discussed at the house ways
and means committee hearing yesterday.
The question of classification of beaded
curtains has given rise to great many
disputes. and it is strongly urged that in
the REIMBURSEMENT of the tariff curtains
and fringes. composed wholly or in part OF
beads or spangles. be included in the para
graph providing a duty on beads.
Compositions used for fuel in which
coal or coal dust is the chief component
material will also be specifically provid-
ed for The coal products are at pres
ent dutiable under a provision for un-
erumated articles. Manufactures of cork
artificial cork and graduated cork will
be added to the paragraph imposing a
duty on cork bark. Toys made in innita-
ton or miniature of articles that are
provided for in the dutiable list of the

Situation Serious.

At the present there is much excite
ment in this city, for while there have
been revolutions in Hayu none have been
so serious at the outset as the present
General Simon. who was commander of
the Department of the South for twenty
and exceedingly popular. He was ordered
about a month ago by President Nord
Alexis to come TO this city to confer
with the president on political matters
but. fearing that if he lid so his life
would be in DAGGER General Simon de-
elined to obey ana made ready to repel
any attack OF the government. He had
a strong following at AUX Cages and
when he was declared a rebel thousands
nOcked to his banner there and in the
cess in forcing General lie Conte and his
followers 10 flee. and his later success
in routing the forces under General CelesS-.
tin at. Anseavean. have probably brought
many more Haytiens to his command.
Blockade a Failure.
In addition to this, the blockade #
three ports instituted by the government
has proved a failure. Steamers of the
regular lines are touching freely at these
ports and il is a blockade in name only.
The United States cruises. Tacoma and
the French training ship Duguy Trouin
are now in the harbor. and the British
cruiser Scylla and the Italian cruiser
FieramOsa are expected within a few
days.
It is impossible to ascertain the CASH.

vean. but it is understood that the gov
eminent forces lost many in killed and
wounded large number of the wound
