Both Doctor. Dawson and Judge Wil-liams, the latter having- visited andstudied the sulphur producing volcanoof Japan, were of the opnion that theproduct should be. classed as refined,

it. being purer than the sulphur thatla sublimated from retorts. The sul-phur inquestion was found to be 99.93per cent pure. . -. \u0084

It is the contention of Custom Ap-praiser John Mattes Jr. that the prod-uce Is subject to duty, although notrefined by artificial process as it comesfrom the crater of the volcano purerthan the refined article. ItIs held bythe importers, H. M.\u25a0 Xewhall & Co..represented by Custom Attorney JosephL. Bley. that the sulphur has neverbeen refined and should be allowed freeentry. There were several expertscalled, including Dr. John H. Dawson,

chemist for the government, and JudgeSidney Williams, geologist, who is nowsuperintending large sulphur mines atCuprite, Nev.

"Whether sulphur coming pure froma volcano in the province of Bungo,Japan, is to be admitted to the UnitedStates as crude sulphur and free fromduty was the question before GeneralAppraiser of Customs Marion de Vriesyesterday at the special hearing in thecustom house. There 5s a duty of %%a ton on refined -sulphur, while theCrude article is allowed entry free.

These prizes willbe awarded at mid-night by the judges and the prize win-ners will then be presented to. theking and queen.

The seventh and eighth prizes willbe awarded to the two maskers, manand woman, who have the most beau-tiful and .perfect costumes of the pe-riod of Don Gaspar de Portola and sus-tain the characters.

The third pair of prizes .will be forthe most striking costumes on thefloor. Bizarre combinations of colorand unusual and " striking design inthese costumes are likelyto attract theattention of the judges, but there is jio
