Cotton Tare Claims.

According to Washington special,
the payment of the cotton tare claims
has been suspended by an order from
the Secretary of the Treasury.
Developments recently made show
that a majority Of such suits against
the Government We're fraudulent in
many particulars. The parties owning
cotton have applied for second allow
ance as a refund of tax exempting the
tare on each bale of cotton, and in
many cases have been paid. The In
ternal Revenue Office has recently dis
covered that the weigher at New Or
leans, and other prominent cotton
ports, have continually been deducting
the tax for tare, but had kept no record
OF 1t. AS an example: bale of cotton
weighed five hundred pounds; the
weight of the tare amounted to twenty
pounds; the weigher, in making his
returns, would put down the bale at
four hundred and eighty pounds. The
Government has refused a tax in many
such cases, when in reality if was new
er collected. Millions of dollars have
been lost to the Government in this
way; consequently, no more claims
will be allowed for the present, and
efforts will be made to recover the
amount heretofore paid on fraudulent
claims; but success in this direction is
