Not satisfied with this the government now ty much smaller game. Corcoran, who has been sen- Lenced to two months for publishing the reports of suppressed branches of the National League, is simply the overseer of the printing department and knew nothing whatever about the literary matter in the paper. A peculiar aggravation of the persecution in this case is that Corcoran Is sentenced to two separate months instead of two months, because in the latter case he could appeal. When the crimes bill was before parila ment Balfour pledged his word that every person convicted under it should have the right of ap. peal, but subsequently he backed out, and said they could appeal under the ordinary law. In ‘vain It Was pointed out to him that NO APPRAL WOULD LIK unless under a sentence of more than one month. ‘This 1s why there are so many sentences tn Ireland of one month only orelse cutnulative.

How the English Merchandise Marks Act Keeps Out Forcign Goods, Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR ‘Lonpos, Jan. 10.—American manufacturers ex- Porting goods to England would do well to study the merchandise marks act which recently be- came alaw here.

At the ports of London, Hull, and elsewhere enormous quantities of foreign goods have been selzed recently under this act.
