Tor LII

NEW YORK, August ia commission
appointed by the Silk Association of
America TO inquire as to the best manner in
which the Association shah act in reference
TO the Centennial exhibition at Philadelphia,
has reported in substance as follows: 'That
the secretary OF the Association has sent a
circular 10 SILK manufacturers and others
connected with the trade in the United
States urging upon them the necessity OF
awaiting themselves OF this opportunity ofim-
pressing upon the public mind the evidence
OF developenent of this growing industry"
that the services of the association were cor
daily rendered to perfect the plans of the
exhibition in the silk department; and that
the principal question then presented for
decision was how the desired result of a
complete exposition of the processes and
products OF American silk manufacture
could be best secured. After due considera-
ton and mnch consultation with silk manu-
facturers, the commission has decided TO re-
port that II is best to leave the matter TO
individual enterprise aud effort in the sew
eral states and TO the centennial state
boards. The association therefore recon-
mend each intending exhibitor TO make APP
plcation for space as early as possible TO the
director general of the exhibition at PhIla-
delphia, and to forward list OF such pro-
ducts or manufactures as they desire TO have
on exhibition.

Custom Home Frauds

HOW SOME MEN CoSTRIYE TO KEEP FAST
HORSES AND LIVE IN FIFTH AVENUE.
A novel case OF fraud was exposed by
Special Treasury Agents Howe and Brown
yesterday. Sixteen cases of satin dechene
piquet, and SILICA, and two cases of padding
canvas, worth $4,000, were seized in the
United States bonded warehouse at Leroy
anc west streets, Oh suspicion of being fraud
ulently invOiced. The goods arrived in the
Adriatic on the eth of MAY. but We're not en-
tered at the Custom House for withdrawal
from general order. The treasury officers
learned that the goods had been invOiced as
padding canvas, and that two OF the cases
were dummy cases to represent the whole
consignment In the appraisement OF the du-
ties. They watched the goodsGor ten weeks,
and as no one claimed them they sent TO the
American Consul in Liverpool for q copy of
the invoice made out by the consignor. This
showed that the goods were to be passed
through the Custom House as padding can
vas, which pays only low rate of duty. The
marks on the cases were altered on the voy-
age so as TO aid the swindle, and Fictitious
lanes were given as those of the importers.

goods. 4 year ago he was discovered con-
