REFUSING INFORMATION.
In the discussion of the Scrimfre-
5
our warehouse matter it became ll
desirable and necessary for this jour-
nal to read the text of the ofiicial re-
gulations under which such ware-
houses are provided for. These regul-
~ ations are not kept on file in the
ordinary newspaper ollice. They are,
asa matter of duty kept at the
_ Custom House. And any citizen has as
'  right to apply for and be in-
formed in regard to the warehouse re-
A gulations as he has toapply for in-
s formation in regard to the rate of
duty on any article of importation.
We therefore applied at the custom
 see the regulations relating
fd warehouses. ` -
Be it observed that there is noth-
.  whatever private about these re-
gulations. They are as much within
the right of the -public to know as are
_ the statute laws, the tariR` or the
rates of postage. It is the duty of
the Collector of Customs to supply
such information in regard to customs

The death is announced of Rey.
James A. Spurgeon, brother of the
late eminent Baptist preacher of that
name. He was found dead in a. rail-
waycari-iagc, the supposition being
that he died from apoplexy.
A few months ago the death
was reported offlarold Frederic,
an eminent London corres-
pondent of leading American
papers. New comes the sad sequel
announcing that Mrs Frederic, his
widow,dicd last Saturday in a London
hospital, of cancer, leaving seven
children in destitute circumstances.
It appears that the unusual honor
ofa loyal salute was given to Lord
Minto on the occasion of a recent
state drawing room. In explanation
the following extract from the Queen’s
regulations, 1898, is being published
for general information, and will _be
made the subject of a general order at
an early date. Honors and salutes to
be given by troops on parade are as
