SUPPLEMENTAL STATEMENT.

.M. President:
In my statement of reasons for asking the
removal of Victor Smith, Collector of Gus
toms, for Puget Sound District, which sub.
mittcd to Your Exccllency last evening,
did not alludc to the statement of Special
Agent Brown, that while the cost of the
Hospital, under Smiths predecessor, was
$3i 900, Mr.. Smith had conducted it for
corresponding period for less than $4,000.
tnd upon examination of the official rec
ords, that the expenses of the four last
quarters of Mr.. Smiths predecessor was Sl7,-
952 %, and that the expenses Of the tmo
first quarters under Collector Smith was So
294 90. Now, assuming that the next two
quarters cost the same, could not gain ac-
cess to his account, in the Treasury Depart
nent, for these two quarters the total cost
of Hospital for one year of Snith's admins
tration would be SlS,5SS 4; just six hundred
thirty-six dollars and seventy-ivc cents MORE
than that of his predecessor, instead of being
$4,000 LESS, as stated by Mr., Brown iii his
report to the Treasury Department. 1t is.
therefore, apparent that Smith has fal,ifcd
the figures and imposed them upon Mr.
Brown. This fact assumes importance for
the reason that great credit is claimed for Mr..
Smith on the ground Of his large sarings to
the Government. am quite sure that il al
lowed free access TO the records of the Treas
ury Department, so far as they relate to the
Puget Sound Custom House, l would show
that Victor Smith has spent largely more
money than his predecessor, for correspond
ing period.
Respectfully submitted,
BY your ob't serv't,
A. q. HENRY.
