Case That Inrolrea the Fatnro Importation of $20,000,000 Worth of Woobns. Nnw Yokk, Oct. 2?. -The iinal reapprftiBOment hearing on the decision of Local Appraiser Coopor and later of General AppraiserLunt upon tho valuation for dutiable pnrooaes of a certain importation of worsted suiting is going forward before General Appraisers Wilkinson, bharrett and Sbarpe. Tut) case is one of tho moat important Trhich has ever coma before the board. It involves at least $1,000,000 worth of ,oodA&prett4 tH!4rp, a waiting de ci9ion. The decision on this case allects the future importation of 820,000,000 worth of woolen coods. The principle of tho case involves tho question of what constitutes market value. The particular tirni in the caso is that of II. Herman Sternbach & Co., but it involves all tho importing houses of tho country. Local Appraiser Cooper advanced the goods 14 pr cent, above the invoice price, which means an advance in duty of 42 per cent. The advance was made on the representation of the American Woolen-manufacturers' Association, who claimed that the coods were undervalued nnd were sold at a prico below the actual price of production. While this was the plea urged and the view taken by the appraiser, the real principle in the case and that whicli will attect the future importation of coods it the question of market value. Many prominent importers give testimony, it was brought out in the testimony that tho goods were purchased in tho open market in Bradtord. England, of commission merchants who aro agents of the buyers and not the sellers. A camber of atiidavita were presented showIn iT that the cost of production was bolow that of the price paid in the open market at Uradfor'l. lioth the importers ana tne woolen manufacturers wore represented bv counsel. A conclusion of the hearing will be had Saturday, when the manufacturers will present their side of tho case. PLIGHT OF A NEW BRIDE.

GLADSTONE'S HOME-ROLE BILL

RcvKed arid Heady to Fe Presented to the British House cf Commous. Lord Roselery Induced to Pash the Measure in the Upper Rranc'u of Parliament After a Conference with Liberal Leaders. Kilkenny to Be the Scene of Another Great Ihttle for a Seat in Parliament. Michael D-.vitt to Be the McCaribyite CandidateJohn Kedmond'sQaalifi cations for the leadership of the Parn?llite Tarty. NEW IIOME-TtLXK HILL. Mr. Gladstone KerUes IIU Old Measure In Ilelialf of Ireland. Coryribt. loOl, by the New Yoik Associated Press.l London. Oct. 3. Mr. Gladstone has revised his home-rulo uill, matured during a lone period of consideration by himself, and discnsticd iu detail by probable colleaguea of r.ho next Liberal Ministry. The measure his now assumed euch definite form hs to onahlo Mr. Gladstone at any moment to place it before the country. Karl Spencer, Mr. Morloy nnd Sir William Vernon Harcourt havo aided him in shaping the political features, while Lord Herschell especially attended to the legal and constitutional form of tho echein. Lord Hoseberry, though continually advised ai to the progress of tbe bill, tacitly declined to assist or Interfere till recently, when be was informed that ho must dcliue his attitude toward the project of tho Liberal loaders. He then assented to confer upon the matter. Sir Win. Vernon liarcourt and Mr. Morley accordingly visited Lord Koseberry at Moutmoro this week and obtained his adhes&ion to tho project. Had he refused his assistance the services of some other peer must have been obtained to lead tho party in the Ifouse of Lords. As to what time tho scheme in detail will 1e divulged depends upon the fate and character of tbe government's Irish local government measure, but th fact that the scheme has been perfocted and is expected to bo Announced by Mr. Morley next week, will deprive the Unionists of their stock argument that Mr. Gladstone has no delinlto uloa of what tho bill will bo and that his colleagues throughout the country, relying upon him, would take a leap in the dark. If dissolution came now the measure would be published with such completeness as would leavotho Conservatives no chance to say that the country had been deceived on any import ant point. When tho general election does come the issue will be fought on definitely declared home-rule lines. If tho popular vote places Mr. Gladstono in power the conrse thus adopted will paralyzo the opposition. The House of Lords will not dare to reject tho bill on the ground that the vote of the electorate had not been especially taken thereon, ltegardiug the principles of the new measure, enough has been oQicially ascertained to enable one to state thatitRlvos the proposed lrih Jsi.latare tuller-ponexa than did the billot 1663. it retains the lower and upper houses of tho Irish' Parliament, vests the appointment of the'judiciary in tho Irish executive nnd maintains a larger representation cf Ireland in tho imperial Parliament. The complete questions of financial relations and the control of the polico nro also settled. Mr. half our, in a speech nt Bury to-night, asserted that tho causes that produced the Liberal split were still working, and that thero was every indication that the Unionist alliance was becoming atilt closer. Mr. Balfour spoke in justification of "opportunism." It wan inevitably produced, he said, by the development and evolution of society, which wanted new chancres to meet conditions. It must be tho policy of every wiso statesmen, and it had been the Conservative policy. Sir William Vernon Harcourt had accused the Conservatives of delaying measures of benelit to the people. Tho fact was, however, that vastly more sound, sober legislation could be placed to the credit of the Conservatives during the past half century than to that of tho Liberals. Tho speaker likened Mr. Gladstone's Newcastle programmo to that of a mu-sic-hall variety show. In this connection he drew a humorous picture, conclndinf? with a representation of Sir William Vernon Harcourt wearing the cap of liberty, leading the attack on the Houbo of Lords. which was to descend into an abyes of blue tire. It was absurd, he said, to talk of aDolishint; little anomalies in tbe electoral system while allowing the big anomaly of the over-representation of Ireland to continue. Iu conclusion he condemned Mr. Gladstone's land-reform proposals as raising vain hopes among half-educated people, and said that Mr. Gladstone's Newcastle speech had contributed nothing to the sober and rational treatment of the complex land problems. MICHAEL DAVITT ACCEPTS. Consents to lie the McCarthjite Candidate for I'arllAinrnt iu Northern Kilkenny. Special to tbs Indianapolli Journal. Dublin, Oct. 23,-When Mr. Michael Pavitt arrived in this city to-day from Queenstown ho was driven rapidly to tho headquarters of the Irish National Federation, where he was received by the leading members of tho McCarthyitea now in the city. A prolonged consultation was held, the result of which was the announcement that Mr. Davitt had consented to stand for the northern division of Kilkenny, tho scat in tbe House of Commons which was made vacant by tho death of Sir John l'ope Hennessy. in accepting the nomination of his party. Mr. Davitt aid: "Whatever my friends may say or believe, I scarcely regard myself as litted to provo a serviceable member of the House of Commons. Nevertheless, I consider it to bo my duty to yield to tho wishes of the parliamentary majority of the Irish National party, with whom I have been joined since the recent unhappy crisis commenced." Mr. Davitt concluded his acceptance of tho candidature for North Kilkenny by expressing his contidenco that the vast majority of his countrymen in Ireland will approve tho course pursued by the Irish parliamentary majority under rocent trying circumstance, as do their fellow-countrymen in America. At a convention to-day at Cork of the followers of Mr. Jnstiu McCarthy a local butter merchant, Mr. Martin Fiave:i. was selected to contest apamst Mr. John L. Kedmond, the lircdhte caudidate, for the sent in Parliament representing Cork city, left vacant by the death of Charles Stewart Parnell. The Conservatives have selected tbe deputy lieutenant of the county. Captain .Sarstield, to contest Cork city against John L Kedmond. tbe I'arncllite candidate, and against the representative of the McCaithyiies. The Conservatives havo an idea that in the heat of tho engagement which will be fought between the contending factious their candidate may slip in nnd thup carry oft" the prize. Mr. Davitt's election to the seat of Sir John i'opo Heunessy may Dostdbly raise a question as to whether he will be admitted to Parliament. No Irish member of Parliament has ever been in a convict prison, so far ns tho public are aware. For this reason Mr. Davitt was rejected in the selection of tho royal commission on labor, and it remains to bo seen whether the Tories and their Liberal Unionist allies will be any less Mineamish when Mr. Davitt presents himself as the member from North Kilkenny. I'amt ir Surcmior. Copyright, im.ly Uf Ni w Ycrii AenoclaWdi'ms. Lonijon", Oct 23. Now that John Kedmond is the acknowledged leader ot the

I'arnellit04, only McCarthyite partisans decry the choico of the party. Impartial observers of Johu Itediuond's career concur in testifying to his ability and modesty of character. In theso respects he ought not to be confounded with his showier brother William, who is always ready to cash to the front. Mr. Famuli eelected John Ifedinoml as ono haviug qualities kindred to hi own. He is btolid and thonehtfui. with a gravity end reticence of manner lilting him for the contidence of tho party. Ho is a good platform speaker and an able parliamentary debater. It is not probable, however, that he will develop a capacity equal io sustaining tho life of his faction against such tremendous odds. The present game of the McCarthyites is an attempt to blight the budding inlinence of John Hedmond bv branding hnn as a traitor to Mr. Parnoll. Mr. Dillon, in his speech at Wexford aimed to unmask Kedmond. He said it was notorious that Kedmond was about to desert Parnoll just before the latter was stricken down, and had refused to accompany his leader to. speak at Listowtd and Greagh. It tilled him (Dillon) with disgust to see such & man deserting the cause because he saw it going downhill. The men now talking of desertion from Parnell were hiding in holes nnd corners in Dublin when Parnell went to (ireagh, wuero he contracted his fatal illness. There was not one of thorn who would go and stand by bis side. Thus poke Mr. Dillon. Black assertions of this kind, however, fail to touch the reliance of tbe party in Mr. Kedmond, who knew that Mr. Parnell trusted him to the last. The selection of Mr. Flavin to oppose John Pedmond in Cork increases the hopes of the Pafucllites. Mr. Flavin, who is a man of good reputo and a town councilor, relics mainly on tho support of tho priests, but a number of the municipal otliciab and tho mass of tne citizens are against him. Tho supporters of Mr. Kedniond are making a vigorous house-to-house canvass, and they declare themselves coutident of victory. They have no lack of funds, part of the money coming ;rom America. Theliiwl hope of the restoration of party unity rests with Michael Davitt. If ho refrains from throwing hi whole influence on the Bide of tho McCarthyites. and uses his peisonal power in a quiet policy of conciliation, he will in time reconstitute tho Irish party. The New lrlh Secretary. London, Oct. 3. Mr. William Lawies Jackson, whose appointment as Irish Secretary is delinitely announced, has the reputution among Treasury ollkiah of being a good business man, without any bias toward his own ideas, if ho had any, and the ready and pliant instrument of Mr. Balfour and Loid Salisbury, with a shrewd eye on the main chance. Trained as & Wesleyan. he joined the Church of England nnd has becomo conspicuous on church platforms. Ho worked his father's business in Leeds out of bankruptcy, paying all of tho creditors. Ho graduated from the Leeds Town Council to Parliament, where his business niado him the Conservative minister' maid of nil work.

Special to tbe Indianapolis Journal. Va lpakaiso, Ind., Oct. 20. The strange spectacle of husband and wife becoming reconciled after divorce was witnessed in Judge Johnston's court this afternoon. A decree of divorce was granted yesterday to Mrs. T. J. Johnson, an acknowledged leader in elite societj circles. Her divorce -was based on the grounds ofcrnelty. This afternoon a dramatic scene was enacted in court before lawyers and spectators. Tbe divorced couple, on bended knees, confessed that they had niado the mistake of their lives and beseeched the judge that the judgment be set aside. Thoy declared that they did not want the blot of divorcement on their rcpntation, as each had forgiven the other. Every auditor, including his Honor on the bench, was visibly affected by the touching appeal, and the court gladly annulled tho decree. The two then stood up with tears in their oyes and thanked him profusely for tbe act. S ALTON LAKE VANISHING. No Water Flowing Into the Basin from Colorado River Will Soon He Dried Up. Yuma, A. T., Oct. 23.-G. W. Durbrow, of Salton, and E. B.

They state that no water was llowing from the river into Salton basin; that only a small stream was running through the river bank, and continued eight miles inland, from which point tho water returned to t be Colorado.J Where four weeks ago a email rivrr ran toward Salton not a trace of water can now be found. There will be no riso of consequence in the Colorado for four months which can atfect the Salton region, and by that time the winds will till np the opening with sand, checking any in How.

ACCOMPLISHED THEIR PUItrOSE. Democrats Succeed in Kalnlng Gen. Rsnm'i Credit His Home to He Sold. 8r?dal to the Ixullanapolis Journal. Wasiiinotox, Oct 2a Tho financial troubles of Pension Commissioner Kaum, which culminated yesterday in an order by Judge Cos, of the District Supreme Court, for the sale of his property, have been accumulating for the last four years. The court records on which tbe order was based show that on Sept. 10, 187, General Kaum executed a deed of trust for $10,000 on his family residence on Rhode Island avenue. About ten months later he added $3,010 more on tbe same property. At the end of four montbs, Sept. 10, JSSS, ho added another $7,500. The next year. Sept. 150. 1890, another $5,000 was added. The deeds of trust were made to Capt, K. W. Tyler, a leading G. A. It. man, and his partner, and to Carson & McCartney, the brokers, and several other individuals. On Oct 1, 1850, his note was given to Col. A. L. Conger for 81,071. and about a month later for $1,000. Colonel Conger is an Akron, O., man, a capitalist and a member of the Republican national committee. Last March he took judgment against General Kaum for tbe amount of the two notes. Tho order of tho court ye terday compels tho sale of the Kaum property to meet tho small Conger judgments of about &-000. The deeas of trust are not due for some time, although the action on the Conger notes precipitates all tho obligations. It may be gratifying to some Democratio hyenas in Congress and elsewhere to learn that tbeir malicious political attacks upon a brave Union soldier, a patriot and an honest man have resnlted in breaking down his financial credit before tbe publio, and will result further in the salo of hia family CAPTAIN SCIJ LEY'S REPORT. Detail of the Affray at Valparaiso JSetireen American Sailors and Chilians. Special to the XndianapoUs Journal. Washington, Oct 23. Secretary Tracy, after submitting & cablegram which be received to-day from Captain Schley, of the United States steamer Baltimore, about the ail'ray in Valparaiso between the American and Chilian sailors last week, to the President, matte publio the substance ot the dispatch. The Secretary saidt "A dispatch received from Captain Schley last evening stated that he had made a careful investigation ot the assault on our sailors on tbe ICth inst. The investigation shows that petty ofucer Charles Kigen, while riding in a street car, was assailed and dragged from tbe car, and shot and murdered by a mob of about one hundred armed men. Apprentice Talbot was assailed and cut dangerously several times iu his baok, two cuts penetrating his lungs. Coal-beaver Ithereou was robbed and cut dangerously in the back several times. Coal-heaver Turnbull received eighteen wounds in the back, two penetrating the lungs, lie is in a critical condition. Pettyothcer Hamilton was wounded several times in the back and other parts of the body. Coal-beaver l'anter and landsman Davissou were dangerously injured by an assault with clubs, stones and knives, and a number of other men were dangerously hurt "Thirty-saven seamen were arrested by tbe authorities, but what disposition was made of them cannot be learned, from inability to translate the cipher dispatch. The surgeons of the Baltimore are of the opinion that sorao of tbe wounds were inrliotetl by bayonets, showing clearly the participation of Chilian police. The American sailors were without arms and defenseless. The investigation shows that they wero sober, and were in no respect guilty of misbehavior. Two of the seriously wounded are still in the nospital. In several instances tbo sailors of the Chilian fleet rendered assistance to the American sailors, and several of them were arrested.-' Secretary Tracy would not say whether any action in the matter had been decided upon, lie said he was obliged to paraphrase the dispatch in order to protect tbe department cipher code, otherwise the dispatch wonld have been made public exactly as written, lie declined positively to say anything further in regard to the matter. It is improbable, however, that any serious result will follow the incident. Among the diOioult matters with which diplomacy bas to deal is that of the amenability of nationsjfor outrages resulting from mob violence. If nothing wns done by the country in which tbe outrages occurred to incite the trouble, and tho country subsequently dealt with the perpetrators according to law. it has been brld that such occurrences are hardly ground for diplomatic rupture. This principle was thoroughly expounded by Secretary Illaiue in the case of the Italians killed in New Orleans, and from the information at hand it appears that the Chilian government has complied with both requirements. In other words, it has not couuived at the demonstration, and it has, through its magistrate, set in motion the machinery of law to fix the responsibility and punish tho perpetrators ot the attack on the Ualtimoro's sailors. So it is probable that this government will await the outcome of the legal inquiry now in progress beforo making any move, nnd that meanwhile precautions will be adopted to avoid any farther collisions. The Chilian gorernmant has informed Minister Egan that safe conducts will not bo issued for the refugees now in tbe United States legation. The snpposed gronnd for this refusal is that the men are criminals. Mr. Egan continues to demand (safe conducts for the men. Tho question now appears far from settlement. TROUHLES031E CHINAMEN. Canada It Tliem Cros the llnrder, bat Wants 850 a Head When They Go Rack. Washington", Oct 23. Another serious complication has arisen in regard to tbe enforcement of the Chinese exclusion acts. The new trouble is explained by a telegram received by Attorney-general Miller, to-day, from United States Marshal Price, at Pembina. N. 1). It was in regard to the case of two Chinamen who had entered the country by way of Manitoba, and whose deportation to that country bad been ordered by Commissioner Caruthers. Marshal Price says he took the men to tbe borderline and the customs otlicers at Emerson. Manitoba, refused to allow them in except on payment of a head tax of $30 each. The marshal says he refused to pay the money, and that the Chinamen could not. Ho thereupon brought them back and wired tho Attorney-general that he would hold them in custody until bo received further instruction. Tins new state ot aflairs, which practically prevent.- the government from sending out of the country any Chinese who euter from Canada, without paying tho

head tax required by the law of that country, embarrasses the authorities very much. The Attorney. general said this afternoon that he had not answered the marshal's telegram for the simple reason that ho did not yet know how to instruct him to proceed. It is believed by many that the only solution of the trouble is by legislative enactment. MINOR MATTERS.

Coon, of New York, who wes President Arthur's Secretary of the Treasury for a while, is being mentioned in inner Republican circles for the presidency of the Civil-service Commission. ''Charley" Coon, as he is familiarly known, is one of tho ablest executive officers in the country, lie is a Republican of the thoroughbred school, widelr and popularly known, is nn original and practical civil-servico reformer, and if he wonld accept tne appointment ho would do the position credit.

Mr. Wanamaker's Coining Report. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Oct 23. Postmaster-general Wanamaker has made considerable progress in tbo preparation of his annual report, and will probably have it ready for the printer in about two weeks. The Postmaster-general will make another strong plea for the establishment ot a postal telegraph system, and also reiterates his argument in favor of the postal savings banks. The United States and Germany are tho only great powers which aro without the postal savings system; while in every conntry whero the experiment has been tried it is said to havo resulted in great good to the people. Mr. Wanamaker's idea is to have these banks located in States where there are no laws regelating savings banks, and in any other States where a considerable number of residents unite in a petition. No bauks would, however, be established in postolhccs within ten miles of each other. Pension Certificates Not Needed.

British Torpedo-Boat Sunk lo an Expert went In TorUmouth Harbor. London, Oct 23. Experiments wero made in a creek in Portsmouth harbor yesterday with a protected boom invented by the naval committee. The boom consisted of six wooden bulks one foot square and forty feet long, arranged with the ends towards the enimj. The spices between the beams wero too narrow to permit Ot torpedo vessel to pass through. Tbe obstacle was solidified by ten steel hawsers intertvrined among the beams and tautly attached to barges on either side. To prevent the impact of a torredo-boat from dipping tho boom and enabling it to glide over, another six-inch hawser was suspended six feet above tho boom. Tho beams were armed with steel foints and powerful spikes shared ike bulls' horns. One of the swifte.t torpedo boats in the Uritish navy the one lately commanded by Frinco George, was selected to attempt to pass the boom. The torpedo-boat was encased in a superstructure rising iu the center and sloping toward tho extremities in order to carry the elevated hawser over tho hull and prevent the smashing of the funnel and torpedo gear. The funnel was constructed so as to fall baclc if struck. A host of Admiralty ofticials and naval officers 'were present to witness tbo experiments. Tho torpedo-boat selected, carrying a lieutenant and four seamen, wbose lives were insured by tho Admiralty, dashed forward at tbo 6pecd of fourteen knots an hour, striking the boom in the cnter. The boat mounted tbe first fence, smashing the bconi amidships, but the anchor-gear became entanelcd with tbe overhead haweer and stopped the boat. Even then the boat could have discharged torpedoes, but she was fatally crippled and remained fixed to the beam. The bow compartments filled with whter, the boat having struck the iron horns. The bottom ot the starboard side was ripped open. The engines being reversed freed the boat, and it . immediately rolled over on its starboard side The crew then abandoned her and alio soon sank.

Shaved Them Off Because the Children Palled Them and the Xurie X.aaghd. S fecial to tbe Indianapolis Journal Berlin, Oct. 23. The Kaiser's conclusion to be clean-shaven again, all but his mustache, is said to bo promoted by tho earnest objections of the Empress to tbe change in his appearance. He has also, it is whispered, been much annoyed by having his whiskers frequently and painfully pulled by tho younger members of his household, on one occasion to tho uncontrollable delight of a French nurse, who was promptly dismissed from tbe imperial errice for her Jack of respect in laughing at her imperial master's agony. The Kaiser cannot bar to be made ridiculous even in his household. When the nevrs of the imperial clean-shave got around, tbere was an immediate ruih lor photographs of the Kaiser iu whiskers, and the supplv was speedily exhausted. It is possible tbat the further manufacture and sale will be prohibited. FLOODS IN' ENGLAND.
