The White 8tar liner Majestic, lint of the big I
ocean steamships to arrive at this port with a I
largo number of American tourlils returning
from abroad slnco tbe new Tariff blU became a
law, reached her plor at 0:10 o'clock yesterday
morning. The Majestic had 1UB first cabin pas
sengers. Every one of these had to pay some
thing more Into the Treasury of the United
States than ho or sho would haro done had ho
or she came back a week earlier. Under tho old
law tho Treasury would have recelred from
tho Majestlo's passengers about $000. It re
celred yesterday $2,811.80.
Undortheold law a person could bring over
treo of duty as many, articles of clothing and
personal adornment as were " necessary t or bis
comfort and convenience during the voyage,"
and as much more a had been worn. Under
the new law, whan resident of the United States
return from abroad, "no more than 9100 in
value of articles purchased abroad by tbcm
shall be admitted free of duty upon their re
turn." Tho first luggago to be examined under
the law w as that of the passengers of the Bed
Star liner Frlesland on Monday. The second lot
was that brought In on the steamer Massachu
setts. That on tho Majestlo was the third lot.
There was little dutiable stuff in the luggage
on either the Frlcslaud or the Massachusetts.
Tho oustoms officials knew that the first real
notion of the workings of tho law they would
1 get would be when tho Majestlo arrived. The
llnor was sighted about 6 o'clock yesterday
morning. Sho left Liverpool on July 21, and, in
consequence, none of her passengers knew that
thoDlngley bill hod become a law until they
were told of the fact by tho pilot who boarded
the Majestic
The news brought by tbe pilot prepared those
on tho Majestlc's dock for tho more comprehen-
Islvo statement made to them when the Surveyor
of the Tort, Mr. McOuire, boarded the vessel at
Quarantine, having left the Barge Ofllce on a
revenue cutter, with his deputy, Mr. Dowllnsr,
and twelve assistants, at 6:30 o'clock. As soon
as he boarded the steamer Mr. MiQutre stated
the provisions of tbe new law, and then said:
"Ladles and gentlemen, this is tho law that I
am compelled to enforce. My men will show
you every courtesy, and I bopo you will make
their work as easy as possible by assiitlnir tbcm
all you can."
Alter this little speech Deputy Surveyor Dovv
llng and his assistants went down into the
A , dining room and over the long tables there tho
' declarations were made. By tho manner in
which tho declarations were made one might
have fancied that the passengers were only
(B sorry that they hod not orougnt over more ar
ticles in their personal luggage that wero duti
able. -The Ht. Hon. George II. Held, Prime Min
iterof New South Wales, was among tba pas
sengers. He stood by and watched tho proceed
logs. Finally he turned to Mr. Morris K. Jcsup,
the banker, and remarked:
" lteally this sight is retrcshing. If you Amer
icans are us cagor to be honest vv ith one another
as you seem to be with your Government, you
are tbe most honest people on earth. This is
one of tho finest examples of patriotism 1 have
ever seen."
As fast as the declarations wero made each
passenger received the usual certificate. When
the steumer reached her pier these certificates
were presented at the dusk of tho Deputy Col
lector at the entrance to the pier. Then tbe lug
gage, piece by place, as examined by tbe in
I spectors. OiUinarlly there is about one In-
i spector to evtiry ten passengers. Yesterday;
thcro were Just double that number. Even with
' thu extra force the work consumed a lot of time,
with the uastengera ranged in a double line In
i front of tho desk nnd extending far down tho
It was found, however, that the great major
ity of the passengers had told tho truth in their
declaration. Then" were some exceptions anions;
,: tho women, but the Deputy Collector just put
thesedownas little white lies, and probably the
' recording angel did the saino thing. There was
. one woman who had In her wnko three claiiou-
' tars, all u( marringeable age. and a niuld. The
ouug women had made declarations for theni-
t selves and their mother at yiiarntliic They
' 'nought that was all that would be required of
them, and they wero highly indlgnint when
i they lound th.it thoy had to wait on the pier for
t their luggage to be examined. Learning this,
'. tbe eldest daughter turned to her mother and
i VMamnia, we shall be kept here hours and
.j hours, and we are expected for Bessie's dance at I
M the Pier to-night. This old tariff is lust horrid. ,
U I'm going to telegraph Senator etuiore to
have JUKinley discharge these insulting men
' at once. The idea of tneir daring to look into
,1 our trunkal I won't let any man do that."
Her mother explained tint Senator Wetmoro
. (possibly Senator George I'eahodj Wetmoro of
; Rhode Island) could do nothing lor them, and
that they would simply have to submit. After
, a time an inspector reached the party, and
vU mother, daughters, and maid stepped out of line
'- to where their trunks were. Tbe first thing tho
" Inspector struck w a quantity of laic. That
' 'B hadn't been declared, lie called attention to it.
km "That lace, I'll time you to understand," said
i one of tho girls, the youngest daughter, "is to
trim my coming-out gown with. Mamma bought
? it for me in Paris. That's part of my wardrobe,
t Of course, I didn't declare It."
Tho law was explained again, and mamma
i paid tbo duty as she had pall the prlco of tho
lace. Mr. Jesup had to pay $170, ulthougb. ho
' said, he had just taken a six-weeks' jaunt
through England and Scotland. Cominodoro
' Elbriugo T. Gerry, with bis wife and daughters,
' had enough luggage to keep four Inspectors
c busy a long time. Mr. Gerry said he was only
too glau to pay duty on anything
-'. that might be considered dutiable. Among
' the articles on which duty was levied
1 was about 8100 worth of groceries. Mr. Gerry
" didn't say why he had Imported groceries. Mr.
Gerry, so It was said, paid the largest amount
In duty of any of the passengers, lie also sent
a Co note as a birthday gift to a baby that had
been born on tbe voyage. The baby wus
promptly christened Gerry Majestlo Johnson.

was down at the pier to see how the new law
worked. When asked what be thought of It, ho
said:
"Ah. it's greatl It's Just what we needed.
Under tbe old law persons would spend thou
sands of dollars abroad for clothing and Jewels
and bring them in free. They can t do it now
and the money will be spent on this side of the
water. If It isnt, the Treasury will secure a
revenue, so it's about as broad as it's long. This
one provision or the Dingier bill will, at cortaln
season B of tho year, put at least 15,(00 a week
Into the United States Treasury."
"There was very Httlu friction," Collector
Bidwell Bald afterward, "A great many of the
passengers, 1 was surprised lo Itml. had pre-
Kred for the new luw. of which they hud doubt
is heard on the other side, and h id In olees of
their personal baggage all rntdy with roeciptod
bills for the goon's they had bought abroad.
Messrs. Elbridge T. Gerry and orrli IC. Jesup,
who were among tho passengers, said they ap
proved of such a law, and that they were glad
to pay tbe duties which their baggage talledfor.
''All tbe passengirs who bad any uuantlti of
goods declared them at once. Same of tbe pas
sengers who had small amounts had to have tbe
new law fully explained to them by the inspec
tors. Tbe new law on the whole, however,
worked very well." . .

yesterday aggregated 167,IUS).8t).

gressmen Meyer. Davoy, and Ilroussard, which
was under consideration by a number of busi

sad appreciation of the tourjajj of tbe Junior Sen
ator from Louisiana, and tbe course of the Rep
resentatives In Congress from the First, Second,
and Third Congress districts on the Tariff bill,
I has been abandoned. Intimate friends of Sena
tor McEnery suggested to those who were most
active In the movement that It should be dis
continued In this form, as it would prob
ably be distasteful to tbe Senator, who felt
that he bad only done his duty to the people of
the State in pursuing the course he did when
the Tariff bill was pending in tbe Senate. How.
ever, Semttor McEnery will meet leading rep
resentatives of tho sugar Industry Saturday
next, and perhaps hav e something to say about
tbe tariff and its bearing upon Louisiana inter
ests. On that day tho annual meeting of tbe Ameri
can Cane Growers' A'soclatlon will bo held, and
(lie Senator has promised to bo present. The
association at this meeting w 111 express in some
form its gratitude to tbe Senator and others for
tho tight they made for the protection of Louisi

Threats to I.jneh m Girl' Auallant, Whom the
Police Allowed to Esrape.
WABniSOTON, July 28. A circular was sent
out from Police Headquarters to-day offering
8100 reward for the arrest of Patrick Carr,
white, 18 or 20 years old, who Is charged with
committing an assault on an 11-year-old whlto
girl, between 5 and 0 P. M. on July 20. The
crime for which this man Is wanted was com
mitted in open daylight in one of tho most
populous parts of this city, the victim being en
ticed Into a vacant house and beaten into sub
mission. Carr Is well known to tho police, as
are all his companions, and yet he was allowed
to walk away from tho scone of the crime un
molested. More remarkable still, the police
made no report of the case to Headquarters
until nearly twenty-four hours afterward. A
searching investigation of the cause of the
neglect of duty will be made
I lii the mean time threats of lynching arrloud
and persistent, and the law otllcera have cause
to upprehend thut if Carr, Is captured the Indig
nant neighbors of tbe Robinsons, the parents of
1 tho victim, may take the law Into their own
hands. The failure to report the crime to Head
quarters, aud the fact that Carr is still at large,
h is caused an outburst of criticism against the
. Inefficiency of tho police of that part of the city
where the crime was committed.
This is the third serious crime which has been
I committed in Oio recond precinct within the
last two months. On May 31 Charles Robinson,
colored, was murdered in an alley at Third and
t Q streets, northwest, by Dorscy roults at 3
rVVlru-L. in the afternoon, in the presence of dozens
of people. The murderer nalmly wallted away,
and has not been captured yet. A few weeks
ago an Inoffensive colored roan was beaten al
most to death by Tim Hurley, one of Cares
friends, anil is still a patient at tbe Frcodmen s
Hospital. Hurley also walked away, and has
not been seen since. In the present case the
police not only let the criminal escape, but their
efforts to apprehend him were so Inadequate as
to amount to nothing. Thcso unpleasant facts
have attracted the attention of Government of
ficials, press, and the public generally, and may
result In n general overhauling of police meth
ods at the capital.

his trunk, and when he went to bed tho trunk
was left nearly filled noar the door of the room
he occupied. The door did not shut lightly,
having bcon swollon by tho damp weather.
About 4 o'clock this morning David hoard a
nolso In the house. Listening, ho felt euro ho
heard somo one walking. Ho was In doubt
wbother the sound was not caused by the wind,
and hesitated until tho door of bis room was
tried and croaked as It was pushed.
Jumping out of bod the young man grabbed a
rifle which he had recently purchased and
darted out just In time to hear the rush of tho
burglars as they ran tor the back door. Run
ning to the front of tho house he caught one of
them crossing the piazza, and then bo de
manded a halt Enforced by the presence of

doing In tho house, but obtained nothing but
the admission that bis name was King and that

o'clock on a morning like the one lost passed.
Twlchell escorted his burglar to tho house of
some nolghbors, and tho patrol wagon was sum

After tho burglar had been Uikcu nwajr a
search of tho houso was made and the metnoa

went to tho roar door and drew tho bolt, leaving
tho door partly open to facllitnto night it it
should bo neccssury. Near a window was
found a bundle of valuables which tho men had
collected and hfld ready to take away.
When King w as searched at tho pollco station

Another will of Charles Coudert, the lawyer,

was filed about two weeks ago which was exe
cuted March 20 last, and which left all the prop
erty, real and personal, to tho widow, Marie M.
Coudert, absolutoly. That will also provldedl
"I desire that no charge shall be mado against
any one of my children on account of any prop
erty or money that I may have given In my life
time to any one of them, but that tho same shall
In every Instance bo considered as a gift, of w hlch
no account Is to bo taken." Tho testator named
his brother, Fredcrio R. Coudert, exocutor. If
his brother should fall to act, his executors were
to bo his brother-iu-law, George G, Gulon, and
his son, Charles Dupont Coudert.
Tho will which was illed yesterday wns exe
cuted on May 7 last. Mr. Coudert diod on July
13 last nt his country homo at Mlddlutown, N. J.

ause she has been provided for otherwise. ' It
also sais: "No deductions shall be mado for

samo provision is made in this will as In the first
tor the appointment of executors.
The ilrat will was fllod by John Townshend,
who mado a statement at the time that was un
derstood to presage a probablo contest. There Is
still no certainty of a contest, and l rederlc R,
Coudert a fow dajs ago said he oxpected none.
The testator left six daughters. Ho lived at
63 West Forty-eighth street, where the widow,
son, and tho two daughters Grace M. and

to my uncle, and ho will hato to f ultll It, becauso
my undo has tho means to compol him to do
so.' " .

KEENE A GOLF SURPRISE.

BE DEFEATS TUB TWO OZEVER TALE
PLATERS, JtElD AXD TERBT.
Tynr Beats Stewart Bowers Still In the lists
A Batny Day on tbe Links at Bhlnnececk
lull The Summary or tbe President Cnp
and tbe Consolation Kvent Draw for To-day,
St. Bwlthln's armistice was broken and the
rain fell In torrents at tho Shlnnecock Hills Golf
Club yesterday during tho continuation of play
in tho annual open tournament. In tho morning
fair and foul weather alternated so abruptly
that It was pustllng to tell what tho outcomo
would be, but after coon tho floodgates wero
opened and all hopes of sunshine vanished.
It was a lively day at the clubhouse, for tho
onlookers turned out In spite of the storm, nnd,
with the additional presence of tho visiting
golfers, tho cosey cottage on tho sand dunes was
a scone of bustling activity. Just why tho sum
mer residents should desert their snug homes
for tho club quarters was porhaps explained by
ono of the pretty women.
" If I must listen to the patter of tho rain
upon tho roof," said this candid critic, " la tt
not much less lonoly to listen to It pattorlng on
a clubhouse roof I"
Whether this was truo or not there was the
usual throng about tho golfing haunt. Somo
visitors not noticed on Tuesday were:
Mr. and Mr. J.J. Astor, Miss Randolph, Miss Liv
ingston. Wlnthrop nutherfurd, Craig W. Waaeworth,
O. a. Frellnghuysen, Oen. T. H. Barber, W. A. Put
nam. II. O. Trev r. Duncan Cryder, Iloraoe Russell,
and Miss Mildred Brooks, th winner of the recent
women's club ohamplonshlp at Ardntey.
The six who had tied for admission to tho
ranks of those eligible to play for tho Presi
dent's Cup tried their chances at an odd hole
early In tne morning, with the result that W.
T. Gray and W. B. Cheney won the right to
compete. The class was then sent off promptly
into tho rain and mist and somo surprising re
sults eventuated, the most unexpected being
I the victories of Keene over Reld and of Tyng
over Stewart.
Keene's morning play was the best ever soen
over the links, and. If tho tally of strokes glvos
the right Idea of a man's game, he could do no
better In sunshine than be did In tho storm.
Going out ho mado a record of 37, four better
than the bogle, and ho finished tho match two
holes later in two Uvea and a four, boing then
seven up with six to play. When It Is considered
that his oasy vlctorv was won from young Reld,
of Yale. Its Importance may be properly Judged.
Keene had tho best of the game throughout,
diivlng in better stylo than on Tuesday, and
r roving himself equally true on his iron shots,
lis sudden Jump Into golfing prominence docs
not surprise his frleuds, as It lias been known
for two years that he has beon playing c vory
strong game. The card for the out boles with
Keene and Held was:
Keene 8 A 2 4 5 4 S 37
Reld 8 0 4 4 0 8 0 8 6 18
From tho standpoint of strokes. Tyng and
Stewart by no means playod as strong a game,
jet they bad a close match. At the ninth hole
Tyng wus three up and tbe cards wero:
Tjng 6 4 4 4 8 8 7 5 744
fltewsrt 4 8 8 7 B 8 0 7 8 SI
Thereafter Tyng maintained his usual steady
?ame, and at tho end ho bad the match safe by
our un and two to nlav.
The other results of this round appear in the
summary, but It maybe said that Bowers and
Robertson bad a llvolv tussle. Bowers was
three up at the finish, when the strokes were :
Bowers 8 8 8 8 8 7 (I 713
Robertson 8 7 8 8 4 8 7 7 0-33
Later on Bowers was dormlo Ave, but then
Bobrrtson braced up and won three straight,
leaving Bowors winner by the narrow margin of
two holes.
Tho delugo was falling so hard when the time
camo to start the afternoon round that bathing
suite would have been more appropriate than
the regular goltlng tweeds. The best feituro
was the close finish between Keene and Terry,
the second of tbo Yale golfers in tho lists nnd the
Ardsley Club champion of 1895. They were
all ev on at the sixteenth hole, and Terry won the
seventeenth in 3, by holing out from about
thirty yards on a mashteshot. The homo holo
was won by Keene, who outdrove Terry, and
the nineteenth, played to decide tho tie, also fell
to the Cedarburst pololst. Neither droe very
far balls on this hole, and Terry bungled his ap
proach shot. This gav e tho honors to Keene.
A question raised during this match crented
somo comment. Playing the twelfth hole, which
is crossed by two roads, Keeno drovo over tho
obstacles, bis ball landing on the slope of a bare
sand hillock, and he grounded his club before
playing. Terry claimed that this was a violation
of the hazard rule, and tho bole was nwardod lo
him b R. II. Robertson of tbe Greens Commit
tco, who had followed tbe players. It was Bald
afterward by membors that Buch bare spots are
not played as hazards, but Keene personally
made no complaint.
The othor matches In the second round wero
not out of the ordinary. Tho players who had a
chance did not take advantage of it, which tells
tho whole story, as the summary shows. Bowers
beat tho local champion, young Clark, quite
easily. Bowers's card for the out holos was 4,
f, S. ft. 3, 0, 0, 0, B. a total of 44. For tbo
sir holes nlared on the second round his strokes
wero 5, 7. 5. 0, 0, 4. Clark haired tho sixth,
seventh and twelfth holes, and hew-on the third,
fourth and eleventh. He lost a number of balls
and had other bad luck on his losing holes.
1 his morning Keene meets Bowers, nnd Tyng
meots Park in the semi-finals. The finals, which
will be at thirty-six holes, will be the all-day
fenture on Friday. It is almost safe to say that
Tyng will lat Park, and, whether ho moots
ltoworsor Keene on Friday, the old-time base
ball amateur will give a good account of him
self. Terry, at bis best. Is v ery high class, and
to beat him shows that Keeno is dangerous.

While all this match play was going on the

nuallf)lng round wore having a hard tussle at
thirty-six holes of medal play. Two consecu

beon a test of norves In sunshlno, but
In such dismal weather It as also
a test of endurancn. No less than
ten players were disqualified for stopping for
"rest and refreshments" after tbo llrst nine

BILLIARDS. H H
Professionals to Form n National natch Or- 3' EH
cult Like tbe Baseball Leas a e. . jjiH
A project to advanco the billiard Interests of U, 1M
tho country that bos been discussed for many i m jjH
years without any practical results has at last im SH
taken definite shape In Chicago. It Is the estab- Wi '-M
llshment of a permanent match-playing circuit " ?JH
modelled after the system of the National Base- : H
ball League, which will Insure permanent an- g b
nual tournaments In the chief cities of tho conn l y.M
try. Tho plan was adopted at a meeting of the jjb1 iH
Chicago roomkeepers, at which were present Iff iMM
such representative roomkeepers as WUUam P. i i'fM
Mussey, Thomas Foley, Charles J. E. Parker, Uj iM
Harry lUilnos. C. E. Ureen. and A. M., Clarke. h iM
Invitations have been sent out to all the cities Jti mm
asking the support of the roomkeepers to a .TV1 LH
proposition which will Insure a tournament to 4fT nssssa
every city joining tbe new billiard league. i& Jsssssl
Each city Is to bo permitted to have a profes- hV$ SM
slonal representative In the tourneys, the agree- Am. MM
ment being that Ives. Schaefer, ana Slosson are Air fH
barred, thus restricting the matches to short- UssssbbI
stop talent, Tho roomkeepers entering tho 'iWimm
league agree to pay a salary of $800 a season to tfiJiltsssi
the representative they select for tbelr parttcu- XJ5;Ssbsss1
larclty, and to subscribe a certain sum as prixa FllaBsssl
money tor tne players, who are to divide th ilStsssssl
gate receipts Into purses of 40, 30, 20, and 10 i;W.ssssssl
percent. Half of any player s winnings will go i(bbbssssb1
to the roomkeepers of tho city he represents tn. fllsssssi
tbo various tournaments. lit; VfMm

und Clarke form tbe committee in charge of 'HjnesBi
securing the cooperation ot the room keepers ot tM sbsbbI
tbo country to the plan. In Chicago the room, 'I'Kf (obbbi
keepers propose to take 200 shares of stock at il3 SIssss
$3 a share to mako a fund to start the enter- jffl afM
prise. Each subscriber is entitled to froead- MC imm
mission to the league games. Bp far as Haw m M
York Is concerned Maurice Daly has agreea to .m Wfmt
become a subscriber. He has always been an g rH
enthuslastlo advocate of the pun that too im JB
league proposes to carry Into effect. He says It t ' VJftvtasssl
will insure a permanent stimulus to tho game. S TiJH
