lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSE.l
WASHINGTON. April 16.-The excitement at the
Treasury Department, yesterday, over the reported
discovery of immense frauds on the Government in
the traushipment of goods in bond across the terri
tory of the United States turns cut to have entirely
arisen from false and baseless charges made by the
special agents of the department in New-York. 1t
appears that for long time the Hudson
Bay Company has been in the habit of pur-
chasing furs, etc, at Fort Garry and shipping
them to England, where they are sold. The agents
of the Company then return in payment for these
goods supplies of which great quantities are shipped
in the Spring. to be transported to their destination
as soon as navigation opens. For long time there
has been considerable rivalry between the
American and Canadian transportation COM
panies for this trade. The latter are able
to carry the goods much the cheaper, while
the former have the advantage of greater speed.
Under various treaties with Great Britain, the
goods when landed in the United States, are trans
ported across territory in bond free of duty, the
bond in such cases being twice the amount which
the invoice shows to be the value of the goods The
goods while in bond in the custody of the United
State officers. and the owner has no more control
over them than any one else.
A few of the packages having been missed, the
Government sued on the bond, and recovered This
circumstance led some of Col. Frank Howes
force TO suspect that attempt at fraud had been
made and his theory was that the goods were under
valued and smuggled out of the cars within the ter
ritory Of the United States, and he SO positively
serted his theory that an order was
made TO seize the next lot of goods that
arrived and examine them. This was done
few days ago, when al packages were
seized in the New-York Custom house. The goods
are packed in tin cases. which protected on the
outside by wooden boxes. When the goods arrive at
Fort Garry the wooden cases are removed. thus
relieving the packages of much Of their weight while
being transported into the country by ox-teams
Sixty-ve of the cases were examined the first day.
when the Collector telegraphed to the Secretary of
the Treasury that they all correspondent with
the invoice, and asked if the examination should
proceed further. The Secretary, On inquiring into
the matter stopped the examination, and to-day the
goods were released. The American agents, Austin
Baldwin e. Co., think that the seizure was wholly
unauthorized by law, as, so far as can be learned
there was no ground even for suspicion that any
fraud had been attempted.
