DRY Associated Press,

NEW YORK. May 2s.-Henry c.
Stuart. of Elk Garden, Va, nephew OF
General J. Z. B.. Stuart. the Confed-
ate leader, and candidate for con
gress on the Democratic ticket, today
received his trunks, which were seiz-
Cd yesterday on the arrival OF the
Stuart family from Europe, on the
Mauretania. Mr.. Stuart paid sl,f?o
10 get the trunks, that amount OF
duty having been levied on goods not
contained in his declaration OF dut-
liable objects, which were assessed by
The appraisers at 5000. The goods
consisted of gowns, a sealskin sack,
bolts of dress goods and a miscel-
Iaueous collection of goods OF foreign
manufacture.
Didn't Know Ruling.
Mrs. Stuart had been abroad two
years. Mr.. Stuart went to Paris in
March TO bring her back. That he
failed TO declare dutiabie goods was
due to the fact that he was not aware
of a recent ruling of the treasury de-
partment. Before he left Paris, Mr..
Stuart obtained from the American
consulate there copy of a ruling is
sued by the treasury department gov
erning the admission OF personal
possessions of travellers. 1t stated
that persons had been abroad for
two years might declare themselves
non-residents and would not be oblig-
ed to pay duty on their belongings. He
was in ignorance of the fact that the
ruling had been superseded by one
made last March by Secretary Mac,
Veagh, which abolished the two year
limit.
No Disagreement.
IL had no notice of any change in
the ruling until | reached New York,
said Mr.. Stuart. when / was inform
ed that Mrs. Stuart's property was
dutiable il was impossible, on the
spur of the moment, to make out an
itemized declaration of goods pur.
chased during two years and | re-
quested that they should be apprais-
ed. We have had no disagreement
with the custom officials and in fact
some of the higher officers have
stated to ME that the literature OF the
department for circulation has not
been kept abreast of the rulings"
Mr.. Stuart said he would start for
Richmond as soon as Mrs. Stuart, who
has been i'll for more than year
had recovered sufficiently from the
fatigue of the voyage. probably early
next week.
