THE SHIM RULING
A CIRCULAR REGARDING ENTRY
OF PERSONAL EFFECTS
WHAT THE TOURIST MAY BRING
Articles on Which Exemptions of Duty
Will Be Allowed Difference Be
tween Ordinary Wearing Apparel
and Merchandise
WASHINGTON D C Aug 30 Sec
retary Shaw has issued the following
circular regarding the free entry of
personal effects under the act of 1897
To Collectors and Other Officers of the
Customs
It having been brought to the at
tention of the department that cer
tain persons have sought to place a
strained construction upon the depart
ment circular No 48 under date of
May 7 1902 the following explanation
thereof and supplemental instructions
are hereby issued
The language employed In the cir
cular referred to is as follows
Exemption from duty will be al
lowed on wearing apparel articles of
personal adornment toilet articles and
such other personal effects of a value
not exceeding 100 as are ordinarily
purchased abroad by tourists provid
ed they are not intended for the use
of other persons or for sale
There is no warrant in this lan
guage or in any ruling of the depart
ment that justifies the importation of
cigars spirituous vinous or malt
liquors in any other quantity or man
ner than provided by law neither is
there anything in the circular to war
rant the exemption of merchandise
as such from duties The statutes
uses this language wearing apparel
articles of personal adornment toilet
articles and similar personal effects
For some years it was held that simJ
ilar personal effects in order to be
exempt must be similar to wearing
apparel or similar to articles of per
sonal adornment or similar to toilet
articles The department still holds
that exempt articles must in a sense
be similar that is they must be of
the same general class of articles as
tourists ordinarily purchase abroad
The difficulty it will be seen lies
in applying these rules in the light of
the statute to particular cases and it
is the intention to clothe the customs
officers with some measure of discre
tion A dress pattern is certainly sim
ilar to a gown while a bolt of dress
goods is merchandise A pair of silk
hose is wearing apparel but is mer
chandise Customs officers are expect
ed to protect the revenue of the coun
try but they are not expected to ad
minister the laws with captious and
vexatious discriminations Whenever
circumstances indicate that the return
ing tourist is attempting to impose
upon the government the maximum
rate of duty should be collected and
then all questions involved can be de
terminated on appeal

THE LIVE STOCK MARKET
Latest Quotations from South Omaha
and Kansas City
SOUTH OMAHA
CATTLE There was iuto a aso
as compared with the previous days of
this week In the number of cattle that
arrived The quality of the offerings was
also nothing extra and receipts Includ
ed very few beef steers either native or
western The few cars of corn fed steers
sold freely at lust about yesterdays
prices Ono load of pretty good cattle
sold as high as 740 The cow market
phowed very little change Anything de
sirable sold without much difficulty at
lust about steady prices but still tho
market was not what would be called ac
tive The demand for stockers and feed
ers continued brisk owing- to tho very
heavy demand from the country In fact
more cattle were shipped out than on
any other day this week so that in
spite of tho big receipts the good stuff
Jias found a ready outlet Western beef
steers were scarce and In fact there was
nothing really choice offered The better
grades though commanded fully steady
prices while inferior kinds were dull
and no more than steady Choice west
orn feeders were also ready sellers at
good prices
HOGS There were more hogs horo to
day than on any previous day this week
but still the supply was light Chicago
was reported 5fil0c lower and tho mar
ket here opened about a nickel lower
Lator on however the market firmed
up as it became evident that the demand
was greater than the supply and tho
last hogs brought just about steady
prices with yesterday Trading was rath
er slow on the opening but nulte active
on the close The long string went at
5725 with the bulk from 720 to 730
As high as 740 was paid for a choico

PALMA STANDS ALONE
Has Not a Single Newspaper Giving
Him Hearty Support
HAVANA Aug 30 President Pal
ma finds himself today without the
support of a single newspaper con
trolled by Cubans
The editorials published in the Cu
ban press are considered collectively
remarkable for their bitterness and
outspoken opposition to the chief exec
utive The only paper which supports
the president is the Diario de la Mar
ina formerly the organ of the Span
ish government and at present repre
senting the Spanish colony in the is
land
One of the causes for the opposition
to President Palma was that he
granted the Castenada concession for
the establishment of an electric light
plant at Havana This concession has
been a subject of bitter opposition in
the house of commons and some of
the papers are demanding the presi
dents impeachment unless the conces
sion is revoked The impeachment
question has been on the table for a
week The house of parliament has
divided on the question
The paper La Discussion sasys that
although the president was elected an
an independent ticket and received
the endorsement of the republican and
national parties he has carried his
independence too far and todav has
the support of neither party
It is rumored that certain leading
republicans are urging the president
to announce himself a member of the
republican party and are guaranteeing
him a majority in the house if he
does so La Discussion advocates
such a declaration from the president
