The United States Secretary of the ?,.--«*-Carlisle. haß decided and will iltruct Customa collectors that goods X-eu in bonded warehouses under the Mcfanlevlaw, and made free ot duty under tho new Tariff Act, are entitled to free Intrr and need nob be exported and reimoor'ted in order to geb bhe benefits of the "";^ ct . This is of special interest to tho Lol trade, aa a large amounb of wool is Ired now in the United States bonded Irebouses. In thia, aa in all other mooted naestioas, tho Treasurer will follow the intent of Congress and leb tho aggrieved Parties appeal to the Courts if they care to conte-ton technical grounds. He will undoubtedly Lold diamonda dutiable, nobwithstanding the erroneous punctuation of tho free list. A DIVORCE SUIT IN THE ASTOR FAMILY.

Jamea Coleman Drayton has instituted proceedings ia a New Jersey Court to secure a divorce from his wife Charlotte Augusta Drayton, a daughter of William Astor, of ■which John Jacob Astor was the founder. Jlr Drayton seeks legal separation on statutory grounds. Hallett Alsop Borrows is named co-respondent. Specific instances of infidelity are given, and the places where the offence took place—Tho Pallette and 374 Fifth Avenue in New York city, in the month of February,' 1891, ab the Ber„ardßville place at various times between January 1,1891, and October, 1891, and atthe Terminus Hotel, at King's Cross, London, known as the St. Pancras Midland Hotel, between January 9th and January 20th, 1892. Mr Drayton's complaint shows that lour children were born of the marriage. Since the separation the children have boen in the care of Mr Drayton. The /object of the bill is stated to be that Mrs Drayton may make a, reply and that the marriage may be dissolved. The care and control ol the children is asked to be given unreservedly to Mr Drayton. REVOLT OP THE SUGAR PLANTERS. -The sugar plantation convention in New Orteans, VVa., September 6tb, was the most remarkable gathering in many yeara, and tho first serious break in the Democratic party for twenty years. The probability 'is that the Democrats of Louisiana will cooperate with the Republicans on national issues, "hut will nob on State or local issues. The Convention declared this to be its purpose, and at least two, possibly three, Congressional districts, comprising the sugar .egion, are endangered to the Democrats. There were probably 300 representative men in convention, nearly all of them men of wealth, and with power to control a considerable following. The action they have taken cannob be under - estimated. The new tariff, so-called, seems the source of mischief in every direction to the national democratic parby. THE EZETA CASE. A peculiar extradition case, involving iotar rofugee Salvadonians, General Antonio • Ezeta, ex-Commander-in-Chief of the armies of San Salvador, Central America, and four companions, Leon Bolanos, General Jacinto Calocho, Lieuteut-Colonel Lienfuegos, and Captain-Major Florencio Bustamento, was tried before Judge Morrow, of the United States Di.trict Court, San Francisco,during the week ending Wednesday, 19th Sept. 'General Jacinto Calocho was enlarged from > <ou_tndy before the brial'had proceeded far. Uzeta was worsted in one of the many revolutions that take place in San Salvador, and together with his companions took refafreon board the U.S. warship Bennington from the successful Gubtierez. The Bonnington brought the refugees to Saa Francisco, whence the present administration of San Salvador has sought to have them extradited, so thab bhey may be punished for alleged crimea. The refugees are defended on the grounds that the crimes .^alleged were incidental to bhe war. The Judge will pas. on the case in a few days, ilia general opinion ia the prisoners will novjie held. FOREST FIRES. Doloxh (Minn.), September 2.—This city is a refuge to-night for hundreds of s-.vivors of the greab foresb fire, who were broaghb here by relief trains. The refugees pre.on.ted a mosb pitiable sight. Few of them have hats or coats and the women are ho more folly clad. Much apprehension exists here regarding the whereabouts of a passenger train which lefb Duluth yesterday. Two hundred miles of its run lios through 'the fire-swept district, and it is feared that bridges have been burned on both. side 3of the train, thus cutting off escape. The total number of corpses recovered from tho foresb tires up to September 4th, was 312. JERUSALEM.
