act of August 19, 1890, section 2, repeals all laws and parts of laws inconsistent with its own provisions, but such repeal, even if it applied to section 4234, in so far as that section relates to harbors, has not taken effect. The act of February 8, 1895, likewise repeals all laws and parts of laws inconsistent therewith so far as applicable to the navigation of the Great Lakes, etc. The act of February 19, 1895, contains no express repeal in any form. This state of legislation is novel and the question presented is not easy to answer, but in view of the established rules which permit the declaration of repeals by implication only in cases of absolute inconsistency (3 Howd., 646; 16 Peters, 362), section 4234 can not be held to be repealed, and its provisions therefore applied to the case of the schooner Wm. A. Steelman, in the harbor of Baltimore, to which your question relates. Respectfully, The SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. JUDSON HARMON, Attorney-General. BONDS ABOLISHED.
