D. S. CONSULAR INVOICES ON NON- DUTIABLE GOODS. Colonel John B. Mosby, formerly United Statos Consul at Hongkang, has obtained a ne Trial from the San Francisco Chamber of Coming to the high price asked for the land. mare to the Secretary of the Tronency asking that the custom requiring Consular artificates so be attached to all invoices of marchindise in ported into the United States be abolished.
argument which he uses, and which is oladed in the memorial to the Secretary of the Treasury, is that the merchants willingly comply with the requirement when it applies to dutiable goods, but when applied to mershandias in tran- sit and legally free of duty, it was an outrageous exaction. Tha Cgional states emphatically that he is opposed to the oppression of pemmerco to ait in the support of Consuls.
He stated to the reporter that no Consular in voice was required by the law for goods on the from list.
Such a document," asid ha, is only requi ed for goods subject to ad valorem duty. Tho Collector of Castoms at San Francised has al- ways retired the marchants to produce Con- enfor invoicon for free goods.
"I have seen Collector Hager twice in order to have the halawful practing abanded. He cafused the request, statine t'at it had always on the practies in the office ad that he dia not propose to change it.
"Of new, as long in the l'oileator required merchants ta premat Causular invoices for con. signments of free goods, they had to get them rom their foreign correspondents. The Col.
