A FRAUD UNEARTHED
A Gigantic Steal Discovered ia the
I Payment of Duties.
THROUGH UNDERVALUATION OF GOODS
It is Difficult to Estimate the Government!
Louse, lint it is Believed That
They Will Amount to
S1SO.OOO Annually.
Philadelphia, Penn., May 6. Id the
j re-appraisements of decorated china
i and cut and decorated glassware
shipped to this port by A. B. Daniel
& Sons, of London, the most glaring
undervaluations hare been discovered
I by the special treasury, agents, indi
: eating that the government has lost
i thousands of dollars. Some idea of the
loss to the national treasury may be
gathered from the fact that on one in
voice alone the London shippers were
compelled to hand over 8-J,800 addi
tional duties, which their representa
tives in this city promptly paid to the
treasury agents and thus avoided se
sious trouble. Other invoices were sot
tied in the same way. The appraise
ments on the merchandise were offered
to be advanced by the treasury agents
who were determined to have the
rightful duties paid or resort to' the
courts, not only for civil proceedings
to recover the duties, but also to
punish all having guiity knowledge of
the- falsity of the' invoices.
The board of general appraisers re
viewed the case ia New York and with
out differences of opinion the appraise
ments of A. 15. Daniel & Sons were advanced-
p to 250 per cent and noti fixa
tion. was forwarded at once to the col
lector of the port of Philadelphia. It is
difficult to estimate the government's
loss.' but it is believed the undervalua
tions have involved losses of $l"!MKM)
per annum and that the fraud has been
going on for at least ten yeas past.
Very little of the merchansise came to
Philadelphians but was consigned to
wealthy railroad presidents and capi
talists in Chicago, Milwaukee, St.
Louis.. Pittsburgh Cincinnati and as far
west as San Francisco. -

New York, May 4. The Southern
railway and Cincinnatti, Hamilton & !

all diffculties as to the Cincinnati ex

tory to both parties.
",The Southern railway yesterday took

Vf. Vr. Oalanan, A. J. Thomas, an I
George W. Maslin, as a majority of t'ie'

cer as chairman.
Under the terms of the settlement
the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Day-ton in
terests retire entirely from the 'Alaba
ma, Great Southern, the Southern rail
way having acquired there entire hold
ings. The control in capital stock of
the Cincinnati, Jsew Urleans & Tcx-ih
Pacific company, is to be owned and
held equally and jointly by the
Southern Railway and the Cincin
nati. Hamilton & Dayton- interests
and it is hoped a reorganization of thai
company or a nev lease or the pur
chase of the Cincinnati Southern can
be effected and the line continued un
der neutral management to be operated
independently, but preferably to the
interest of the Cincinnati, Hamilton
and Dayton on the north, and the
Southern and the Alabama Great South
ern on the south. This insures har
mony betwen the parties, stops litiga
tion and fully protects the interests of
Cincinnati in the manner in which her
citizens seemed to prefer. The South
ern Railway company retains the ownership-of
the old Louisville Southern
line which insures also protection to
the city of Louisville.

THE ILLNESS OF GRESHAM.
I'res dent Cleveland's Anxiety to Keep
Amrrlraniftm Out of Sight.
Washington, -May 4. The serioua
illness of Secretary Gresham has
thrown the entire charge of the Nicara
gnan atrair into the hands of President
Cleveland, and therefore no one can .
expect any turn towards Americanism
iu the policy. The president will sure
ly not let Assistant Secretary Uhl take
charge of this Central American
trouble, because he fears some patriot
ism mny be injected into it. The pres
ident remembers how,-when the secre
tary of state was ill before and the
AUianca was fired upon, Mr. Uhl acted .
the American and sent that noted dis
patch to Spain demanding immediate
apology.- ' A burnt child dreads the fire,
Mr. Cleveland is not going to let Mr.
I'l.l fe:id any more dispatches. The
matter, therefore, rests in charge of
Mr. Cleveland on this side and Mr.
Davard in London, and England will

The serious turn in Secretary Gres-
i ham's illness will necessitate
his ab-
i Hence from the state department for
r. i weeks. It was his desire to be at hia
icsk Hgaiu when he was sick last time
that caused this setback. The doctors
arc now saying that. Mr. Gresham will
be obliged. to take a long rest. Yester
day his trouble was complicated by
passing a gall stone, and the greatest
care is be'tig exercised to keep him
