Washington. Jan. ga rotation OF the
custom house examiners of imported To-
hacco promises 10 he the first concrete re-
suit of the extensive Investigation into the
differentiation Of this product, of when
the first announcement was lnade In The
tribune of yesterday.
Numerous compla MS have reached the
Treasury Department. alleging, great lack
Of uniformity i'm the impositionbof the rates
os duty on imported tobacco. The varia-
ton is asserted TO have been 80 material as
TO have operated seriously against the i'm
pcrters in certain, ports. notably New York.
II has been held that the work of the ex-
aminers in Southern ports has been much
more favorable 10 the importers This is,
of course wholly contrary to the desire OF
the Secretary Oft the Treasury. and ii has
been practically determined. as an initial
step. TO institute rotation of examiners.
II IS appreciated that such a rotation
will prove something of hardship TO the
examiners themselves. Those whose ihomes
are in New York, for instance, VIII ,be re-
aured 10 render terms OF service AT the

this is regretted. 1t as believed that' such a
system affords the only effective method
or securing approximate uniformltytol era

There are many Indications that, another
result of the present investigation VIII DE
a recommendation TO Congress- made by
Secretary MacNeaCh either direct OF
through the tariff board. that a'fat rate oil
duty be imposed on tobacco.
II is appreciated that il Is almost impos-
sible 10 secure uniform app1isement and
obviate contention under classification
which dictates such widely different rates
based solely on the judgment of the ex-
aminer a. TO the percentage of wrapper
tobacco contained in bale. 1t Isl believed
that a careful examination would establish
the normal percentage Of wrapper tobacco
and that fat rate based thereon could be
imposed. Before this step is taken. now
ever. an EFFORT will he made TO determine
what if any hardship would result there
from TO the domestic producers of wrapper
tobacco.
Secretary MacNeagh, as told IN The
Tribune this morning, Isl personally inter
ested in this investigation. which is being
carried on under the immediate supervision
Of Chief Wilkie Of the special agents force.
Mr. MacVeagh will non be satisfied until
the entire matter has been sfted 10 the
bottom and some method has been devised
whereby further CONGRATULATIONS can be ef-

from her home. al No IS Spring street. was
convicted yesterday in General Sessions and
remanded by Judge Grain for one week Tor
sentence. The, extreme penalty is twenty

The delay in bringing Gangi TO trial was
caused by the failure Of the parents OF the

although they had TO pay $500 before little
Rosina was returned 10 them after a
weeks absence.
Mrs Giordino was not in court when her
name was called by T. Channon Press, As

and return her piecemeal if they did not
pay $500. His conviction is the first for
