Ilaytl , Is hereby revoked.
"J. 0. CARLISLE , Secretary. "
Although as stated. It is Secretary Car
lisle's purpose that the Intention ot con
gress shall be followed. It Is learned that as
to all questions of error In pronunciation
Secretary Carlisle will make no decisions
nor give any Instructions to collectors until
nfter actual cases have cmie before him
on appeal from the decisions of the Hoard
of General Ai pralsers as to whether diamonds
mends , seeds and certain other articles are ,
by the terms cf the bill , on the dutiable
or free list. Collectors will , of course , with
out any Instructions , hold them to bo dutla-
bio in order to protect themselves , and Im
porters must go to law It they contest these
rulings.
Some discussion occurred at the capltol
today as to whether the president could
have vetoed the tariff bill after the adjourn
ment of the house today , this being the last
ot the ten days allowed by the constitution
for the president to consider tlis bill. The
discussion was speculative , rather than prac
tical , for all members understood Mr. Cleve
land had no Intention whatever of vetoing
the bill. It was the unanimous opinion ol
the leading members ot the judiciary com
mittee , this afternoon , Messrs. Catch Ings
and others , that the president could veto the
bill any time before midnight tonight , when
It would become a law without his signature
by expiration of the constitutional pcrlot
nilcracd him to consider the bill , ten days.
They all agreed that congress could not , by
adjournment , In any way abridge the time
allowed the president to consider the bill
If the tariff bill were vetoed after ttie ad
journment of the house today It could be
returned to the house tomorrow. This has
been frequently done with bills where con-
Kress adjourned over from Thursday unti
Monday , thus , depriving the president of
the opportunity to return the bill to the
bouse at the end of the ten days. In such
cases In the veto message the president
states that he vetoed before the expiration
of the ton days.
Tlia tariff bill , which has ben In the
custody of the Treasury department since
Bhortly after It was Bent to the president
was returned to the whlta house this morn-

WASHINGTON. AUR. 27. Japan 1ms at
last succeeded In an object very dear to her
people and for which the government has
strlveu with all of the nrls of diplomacy for
many years. News lias been received here
by the diplomatic corps tliat a now treaty
lias just been negotiated between Japan and
Great Britain , by which the claim of ci
territorial Jurisdiction by the litter Is aban
donod. Negotiations looking to the ratification
of similar treaties are going ; on between
Japan and the United States and other Euro
pean nations than Great Hrltaln. and It Is
Assumed they will now speedily follow the
example set by the latter and fully recognize
the right of Japan to administer Justice In
her own territory. The Importance of Grea
Britain's act , which , by the way , rather tends
to discredit the stories that she la hostile to
Japan In her rr.se t TV r , lies In the fact tha
It IB really the recognition of Japan as a
fully civilized power. The assertion of extra
territorial jurisdiction has always been con
fined to barbarous and semi-civilized coun
tries , whose Ignorance of the first principles
ot Justice and law seemed to render Impcra
tire the retention by the civilized nations o
the power to administer justice where their
own citizens were concerned , even as agalns
natives of the semi-civilized country and
within Its borders. Thin has been done
through the medium of consular courts ant
the system obtains In ISgypt , China , Japan
Turkey and many other countries. live
since the vine of civilization rolled eve
Japan her sensitive und proud people have
resented the continuance ot the extra terrl
torlal jurisdiction system , not &aloly because
of Its workings , but also because It was a
standing declaration that Japan waa no
civilized and was a reflection upon the Japan
ese judiciary. Therefore the action of Great
Britain In surrendering the claim In tha new
treaty Is of great Importance to Japan as
marking a distinct epoch In her advancement
to the front rank of nations.

WASHINGTON , Aug. 27. The galleries

Pythias and their families when the house

ot Aurora , , Ind. , $5,400 for barges taken by

refused.
Mr. Richardson , democrat of Tennessee ,
offered a resolution to print the tariff bill
with comparisons ot the rates between the
bill as It becomes a law , the bill as It passes
tha house and the present McKtnley bill.
Mr. Wilson pointed out the difficulty of
resolving K pec me Into ad valorem duties
and said the comparison would be mislead
ing. Mr. Wilson thought the comparison
should not be simply a comparison of the
rates of taxation , but of the basis of taxa
tion. Under the McKtnley act , ha said , tak-
In the Imports for 1893 , duties averaging
48 per cent were levied on 1100,000,000 of
dutiable Imports ; under the house bill the
dutlta would have been 35 per cent on $31-
000,000 of the dutiable Imports ( the rest be
ing free ) ; under tha senate bill the rate
vould bo 38 per cent on $433,000,000 of Im
ported goods.

called attention to the fact that $50,000,000
of this Increase would be duo to the- tax on
sugar.

Majar B. W. Halford , paymaster for the
Department of the Platle , and who accom
panied the American Bering sea arbitration
commisssioners to Paris before being as
signed to duty , stated to The Bee last even
ing that he had received no official commun
ication from Washington referring to the
matter In the Chicago Record's dispatch re
printed In this paper a few days ago. The
statement made by the Washington repre-
sentatlvu cl the Clrtcago paper simply relates
that the comptroller'at the treasury depart
ment had , after a year's ' delay , declined to
pass the expense fpuchera approved by the
government's agent 3n'l P"1'1 ' ° y Major Hal-
ford upon the wrjtjlpn orders ot the secre
tary of state. The , .comptroller decides that
tlio secretary of stale had no authority to
authorize MaJr Hafford to make the dis
bursements. *
Major Halford declined to discuss the mat
ter pending the afrlva" ! ot official news. He
only wishes his frleriila and the public to
understand that the comptroller In no way
refers to my Irregularity In the accounts.
The only controversy Is a purely technical
one , involving a quantity of red tape which
must be unwound and then rewound before
the matter Is adjusted to the satisfaction of
the powers that b h u ,
The major has nearly recovered from the

SUMMER WHEN IT WAS DRYER THAN NOW
One Old Timor Discusses the Situation aalt
Ikon KilstcU A Matt Who Una a
JMouopoly oa Hotolg Ueot
Ho Uoof.
"Speaking about dry summers , " said Max
Delongau , as ha leaned back In an easy
cbalr and pulled at a fragrant Havana , down
In the slmrto oC the Billiard hotel , "this Is
not a marker to the summers ot 1843 anO
1819. During the spring ol 1818 , " ho con
tinued , "I pulled out from Buffalo , N. Y. ,
bound lor the west. I was a young man
then and had a desire to explore tlio whole
pf the. western continent. With several
boya of about my own ago we staged ,
boated and walked as far 2s Chicago and
then started down the Illinois river. Well ,
sir , do you know that for 100 miles after
wo struck that stream , the bed -was aa dry
as a powder mill , except now and then a
pool. These pools were so full of" flsh that
you could go In and throw them out with
your hands. After leaving this stream ,
we crossed over to the Mississippi , which
stream > ve waded In the vicinity of where
Lyons must be located at this time , The
water was sluggish and black and In many
places there was not oven a channel between
the sandbars. That summer we walked the
state of Iowa and landed nn the Missouri In
the fall ot the year , I think that U must
ha\o been about fifty miles below Omaha ,
It Is a fact , but that fall there was not a
drop of water In the river at that point
where we crossed and in talking with the
Indiana who were here then , I was told that
there had not been a drop of rain fur more
than eighteen months. During the winter
of 1848 xve camped on the 1'lattc and obtained
water by digging a well 10U feet deep and
haullnc the precious fluid out with buckets
constructed out of buffalo hides. Of course
water was water and all of that winter we
sold It to the Indians at the rate of a pint
for a oeaver , or an otter skin. Buffalo robes
were worth a quart of w H water and we
bought lota of them at these rates. During
the latter part of the winter heavy snows
fell , so that by the first of April there was
enough water to float some boats which we
had constructed and upon these we loaded
our winter's purchase , \vhlch we floated
down to St. Louis , where we cleaned up a
llttlo more than J5.000. The early part oJ
the following summer was equally as dry and
In May the prairies were as bare of vegeta
tion as u paved street , though late rains In
the fall started a new crop of gross , "
"From a hotel standpoint there Is some
thing In owning a town. " remarked Colonel
II. G. Humphrey of Yunkton , S. D. , as he
rocked to and fro In one of the easy chairs of
the Arcade yesterday. Parties who overheard
the remark failed to see the bright end of
the saying , but these who were on , knew
that the colonel was telling the truth and
at the tame time they knew that the man
from Dakota possessed something of a mo
nopoly In the way. of eating places. Yank-
ton Is one of the good hotel towns of South
Dakota , as It has three railroads , two of
which terminate there , and In addition to
this. It has some 8,009 Inhabitants. For
years the town has bad two first class hotels ,
the Merchants and the J ncks , besides a halt
dozen other cheaper houses. Three years
ago Colonel Humphrey discovered that there
were great possibilities In the hotel line , and
he at once commenced pulling nil of the
strings to land these possibilities. He first
leased the Merchants for a term ot years ,
and then he gathered In the Jencka. Two
hotels would seem to be n sufficient number
to satisfy the ambition of an ordinary hotel
man , but It did not satisfy the ambition oC
the Dakota colonel , tor hardly had ho se
cured tils leases when he added three second-
class establishment ! to his list. People
wondered what the colonel would do with all
his bouses , but lie smiled and said nothing ,
merely Intimating that It might ba well to
wait and see. Time solved the problem , for
It soon became apparent that Colonel Hum
phrey bad things all hla own way. It one ol
the hotels did not suit the fancy of a , guest ,
he waa Invited to try another , and to this
way , the colonel caught them coming and
Kolng. It can bo said to the credit of ( be
landlord , however , that the hotel Interests !
at the town have not suffered by reason of j
the monopoly , for all ot the numerous hos-
telrles are run In goad shape and are favor
ites with the traveling public. ,
"Beef will be beef before the end of an
other season. " Thus spake Jerry Huntington -
ton , one of the cattle kings ot Colorado , as
he entertained a number of parties in the corridors
riders of the Murray yesterday. His listeners
opined that this was the heralding of good
news , for from their past experience they I
had been led to believe- that most beef was
composed of equal parts of bone and gristle.
Some of them even went so far as to tell the
cattleman that they hoped that ho was a
prophet , or the son of a prophet , whereupon
he smiled a sickly smile of disgust and made
a sign as though he would order pistols for
two. Mr. Huntlngton , however , did nothing
of the kind , though he explained why ho
was telling the truth. He said that the un
usually dry weather had completely destroyed
the range In western Nebraska and the whole
ot Colorado , making It next to Impossible to
keep cattle through the winter unless feed
waa shipped In , The early teed ho said had
burned up , leaving the ranges bare nnd
brqjvn , though with plenty of late rain they
might improve to some extent , although
then they would be much poorer than usual.
The grass throughout the entire stock coun
try , the cattleman said , was of the buffalo
variety , which cured on the stock and made
the best kind of winter feed. This year this
grass had succumbed to the beat and the dry
weather and had burned and dried months
prior to the tlmo of ripening.
