The department in the above decision, (S. S., 4927,) held this to be "an earthy mineral substance," under the late law, (Pt. I., 1334,) but query whether it is not now classifiable under 97, as an unwrought or unmanufactured earth, +++, at $1.50 per ton; or if wrought or mfd., under 98 a., at $3 per ton.-EDITOR.

All cans or packages, (not ordinary fish barrels or kegs, S. S., 2160,) containing free fish of any kind, if not exceeding one quart in contents, one cent and a half each; if exceeding one quart, they are subject to an additional duty of one cent and a half for each additional quart, or fractional part thereof, (2181, S. S., 2160.) Cans mfd. in U. S. of foreign tin, exported and returned filled with fish, are subject to this duty. (S. S., 2435.) By the phrase "daily consumption" it is not understood that the fish must be used on the day they are imported; but if there is reason to believe that they are to be used within a short time, while fresh, they would be entitled to free entry, (June 20, 1866, Island Pond. But see also S. S., 3181 and 3280.)

The proclamation provided for in P. 1806, was issued May 29th, 1874. The provision remains in force under 855. Fish caught in the inland lakes, or rivers falling into them, are not free under the treaty

The Treasury Department holds this provision of section 7 of the act of Feb. 8, 1875 (Pt. I., 2184), to be still in force. (See Indexed Tariff, published by the Department, page 54, 649.) But, quære, as to the effect of section 2513 of the new act (837), imposing certain rates upon all articles not enumerated in that act, upon all previous enactments relating to impost duties.

In the decision, (S. S., 5398,) the department held "that the principle of the decision, 5326, applied only to such articles as are of a standard entitling them to recognition, commercially as fruit juices, about 20 per cent. of alcohol, or 40 per cent. of proof spirits being reported as the quantity necessary in the manufacture of fruit juice. An importation containing 45 per cent of alcohol was classified as a compound of distilled spirits, at $2 per proof gallon.
