The Attorneygeneral has given the Secretary of the Treasury a ruling to the effect that there is no legal objection to the transit through United States territory of the Chinamen recently arrived at New Orleans, from Cuba, en route to China, via San Francisco. The Chinese minister has asked that these men be permitted to cross the United States on their way home, and it is probabjo, in view of the Attorney-general's opinion, that bis request will be granted. This opinion is in accord with a decision given by Solicitor Hepburn on the same question some weeks ago, which was, however, not accepted by the Treasury Department. Claims Against the Mexican Government. Washington', July 24. Among the papers that President Harrison haa before him, and upon which ho may take action while at Deer Park, is a statement from Secretary Blaine respecting the noted Weil and La Abra claims upon which the government of Mexico has paid several hundred thousand dollars, under the judgment of a commission before whom the claims were tried. After Mexico had paid a portion of the sum awarded further payment was stopped in the time of Mr. Cleveland's administration, and the matter was taken up by Congress' upon the plea that the testimony before the claims commiseion was perjured and unreliable, and the claims themselves unjust and unfounded. A long investigation by the Senate committee on foreign relations followed, resulting in a report just before the Fiftieth Congress adjourned, sustaining the plea and recommending the passage of a bill to secure a re-trial. The facts in the case have been submitted to President Harrison by Secretory Blaine, who awaits instructions as to the disposition of the money paid by the government of Mexico. The claimants have made a demand for it under the judga t 1 1 it 1-11 ment awaraea oy me commission, xue amount involved is nearly 700,000. Indiana Pensions.

Treasury officials were to-day shown the following dispatch from Pittsburg: Within the last few days, at the suggestion of Mr. Leach, surveyor of the port of Philadelphia, the Pittsburg appraisers have decided to admit Knglish wool at 10 cents a pound instead of 30 or t0 cents, according to the classification as heretofore. This, of course, will make Rngllsh wool cheaper than the American article, and there is a ear that the wool industry hereabouts will be ruined. The officials at once pronounced it er roneous. In the first place, the surveyorat Philadelphia has no jurisdiction over the port of Pittsburg, which is in the New Or leans customs district, and in the next place the rate of duty on English wool is tpeciiically provided by law, and can bo changed only by act of CongTcss. Under the tariff act English or second-class wool is liable to duty at the rate of 10 cents a pound if uu&coured, und at the rate of SO cents per pound it scoured. Alleged Civil-Service Law Violations. Washington, July 24. Civil-service Commissioner Roosevelt said to-day that eharges have been brought against both the Pension Office and the Sixth Auditor's office that men have been discharged be cause they were Democrats. He was not prepared to say that this was a violation of the law, but individually he was firmly of me opinion mat u was in violation of the spirit of the law. He thought that ao one, unless he happened to be an active partisan, should be dismissed from the public service. He said the commission was oing to look the matter up, not only as relating to the present but to the past. In speaking of the matter further, Mr. Kooseyelt said that in the Baltimore postotneo it was charged that there had been a clean sweep, and out of the 857 employes there were now only eleven Republicans. He thought that this was wrong, and ought to Do stopped. Th Color I-Jne In the Postal Service. Washington, July 24. Supt J. Lowrio Hell, of the railway mail service, said today that there was nothing exceptional in the case reported from Lynchburg, Va al leging that two white postal clerks had re-' lused to instruct a newly apnointo d negro clerk. It frequently happened in the toutn that white clerks at first refused to instruct negro clerks, but a little persua sive talk usually convinced them that they were unreasonable. A persistent refusal. of course, he said, could have no other re sult than dismissal from tho service. New Knapsacks for the Army. Washington, July 24.

The Governor of Alaska has reouested the officials of tho War Department tn furnish that Territory with 2.X) stand of arms with which to equip the Territorial nnlitta. Ihere is no record of the existence of anv militia organization in AlnvL-i but inasmuch as the War Department will be secured against loss, the arms will nroh. ably be issued in accordance with the request.

THE STORY DISCREDITED.

TheRnmor Concerninsr Mrs. HerronXot Be lieved at Washington and New York. Washington, July 24. Dr. Allen, secre tary of tho Corean embassy, called at the State Department this morning and talked with acting Secretary Wharton about the case of Mrs. Hattie Herron, the missionary reported to be under sentence of death in Corea for preaching the doctrines of Christianity. There was no news that could be given him, as the department has not yet heard from Minister Dinsmore. A cablegram is expected, however, by to-morrow. Dr. Alien stated to Mr. v harton his entire dis belief in the truth of the story. Even if the lady had been charged with the offenses named she would be under the jurisdiction of the consular courts, and the Emperor, except by the exercise of an arbitrary power, could not have ordered her execution. A New York dispatch savs the report telnfrrrViol ft-ntr "Voalivillo liof. f -c llarrnn a Presbyterian missionary in Corea, had been sentenced to death for teaching Christianity is not credited by the officers of the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions. They have had no advice of such an occurrence, and consider such action by the Corean authorities inherently improbable. They also have direct information from the Korean legation in Washington that in their cable advices yesterday nothing was said of any trouble. It is also understood that the State Department at Washington has no information on the subject. A telegram from the Corean legation at Washington savs: "State Department and myself consider the rumor unfounded. Foreigners can only be arrested and tried by American consul. Have cabled for information." A dispatch from San Francisco says the rumor is believed to have originated in a circumstance which recently befell Rev. H. G. Underwood, an Americaa missionary and his wife in Corea. Mr. Underwood was recently married at Seoul to an American lady named Horton. They went into the interior on their bridal trip, and were mobbed in several places on account of their religious belief, but finally returned to Seoul in safety. THE STRAW-BOARD TRUST. Twenty-Sii Mills Embraced in the Combina tion, Which Has a Capital of $6,000,000. Chicago, July 24. The straw-board-makers of the country have united in one mammoth trust. Mr. R. E. Newcomb, of Quincy, 111., acknowledges its existence, and states that its corporative name is "The American Straw-board Company." It was organized very .quietly, and the public has not heretofore been informed of the movement. Twenty-six mills are embraced in the combination, located in different sections of the country, from Delaware on the east to Illinois and Wisconsin in the West. It also takos in the largest dealers in straw-board in New York, Boston, Philadelphia. Cincinnati and Chic aero, who practically control the trade. The capital stock of the company is $6,000,000. Its purchases include the plants of the twentysix mills and all personal property apper taining tnereto. 'We intend." Mr. Newcomb said, "to so conduct the business that production shall not exceed the demand, and we shall bo satisfied with a fair profit, and we hope to avoid any complaint ot exorbitant prices hereafter. It may be that we shall be compelled to limit the number of mills to be run. If we find that any one mill is not individually profitable, we can let it remain idle." ' OBITUARY. James Curley, a Noted Instructor and the Oldest Priest in America Washington, July 24. Father James Curley, the venerable director -of the Georgetown College observatory, died last evening at 0:20 o'clock. Father Curley had been ailing since February last with a 'Cold, which took such severe hold of him that he could not shake it off. Shortly aft er the centennial celebration of the college he leu down stairs.; but appeared to have received no injury apart from the shock to his nervous system caused by the accident. Yet he never fully rallied, and always kept to his room in the infirmary building. Father Curley, up to within a year of his death, had been director of the George town observatory. He was the instructor of many men afterward famous in this country and in Europe. It was under his direction that Father Secchi. the illustri ous Italian astronomer, first devoted his attention to the profession in which ho made for himself such a name. This vener able man was in his ninety-third year at tne time oi nis ueatu, ana was one ot the most interesting characters in the history of the college. He was born in Roscommon county, Ireland, Oct. 15, 1796, and was at the timo of his death the oldest priest in America, perhaps in the world. lie was connected with the Georgetown College for 6ixty-t wo years. Father Curley took the first longitude and latitude of Washington. Andrew F. Crutchflelcl. Baltimore, Md., July 24. Andrew F. Cutchfielc,, editor and proprietor of tho Baltimorean. a society and literary weekly. died this afternoon, aged about sixty-eight years. iir. uruicnueia. was a native ot Richmond, Va., and was well known throughout tho State of V lrginia. Salt-Trust Securities Not Popular. New Youk. July 24. The Evening Post says: Inquiries to-day in well-informed circles of finance lead to the belief that al though there have been numerous small subscriptions to the new salt company's securities, the total amount applied for is inconsiderable. Tne opinion is entertained, also, that the whole amount of stock and bonds not subscribed for here will be taken in London. The subscription is for $11,000,000 stock and $4,000,000 bonds. Since the owners of the salt properties brought into the combine do not take securities for their plant, but only cash, the carrying out of the programme ought to make a largo amount of sterling exchange available, and stop the gold exports for awhile. It is, of course, possible that large subscriptions may be made here at the last moment, but up to this time there has been no eagerness to take up the new salt securities. The subscription books close to-morrow. Anniversary Missionary Meeting. Ocean Grove, N. J., July 24. At the an niversary meeting of the Woman's Homo Missions of the Methodist Episcopal lU-uaj, iuiu.

WHO FOOTS THE BILLS? Chicago Pollee Anxious to Discover Who la Furnishing Martin Hurke with Money. 4 Chicago, July 24. Ever since Martin Burke was arrested in Winnipeg and began . his fight against extradition Judge Longenecker and Chief of Police Hubbard have been puzzled as to where the money came from to enable him to hire expensive law yers. To-day it was learned from Assist ant State's Attorney Baker that a man known to be a close personal friend of a prominent Clan-na-Gael leader in Chicago appeared in Winnipeg on Saturday night. Monday morning Burke s lawyers ordered a copy of the record in the extradition proceedings, and announced, that he would make application for a writ of habeas corpus. A lartre sum of money was required for the move, and there was no intimation before Monday that it would be forthcoming.
