CENT POUND DUTY ON ICED HERRING
 BY NEW RULING

WASHINGTON, March 16.-A duty of one cent per pound on sea herring when imported frozen or packed in ice, will be imposed under the new tariff, according to a ruling of the Treasury Department just issued. The decision overturns a suggestion recently made by the Collector of Gus toms at Boston, that such shipments be admitted free of duty. "If Con- gross had intended to include in Para graph 1856, sea herring and smelts, frozen or packed in ice, it would seem that the first word in the paragraph, fresh would be unnecessary" said the Collector. That paragraph would have expressed more clearly the Legis- lative intent if it had read, Sea her rig. smelts and tuna fish, fresh, frozen or packed in ice."

JUNEAU, March IS. Interest deepened yesterday in the Foster lit eracy test bill, when an adverse re- DOT, was brought in by the House Committee. The report was signed by Representatives Decker and Gala han, while Shepard, going on record as not concurring in the stand of the Committee, made a strong recommendation for it's passage. That the measure is the only means of remedying the evil of mass voting by illiterate Indians in Territorial elections, whose number he placed at a thousand. was the contention of Shepard, who declared that thesG Indians hold the balance of voting power while having but vague knowledge of our institutions and Government and lend themselves readily to the machinations of politi- gal charlatans." The Representative pointed to the two contests over the election of a Delegate in the cases
 of Suzer and Wickersham, in both
