NEW YORK,
Extensive Frauds ON the Revenue-U. g.
C0nsuls Implicated.

Consuls Implicated.
NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-It is stated that Ar
thur b. Wood of the state department., after a
quiet investigation in Europe, has discovered
that large number of American consuls in
different countries have been in league with
merchants there, importers and custom house
officers In Boston, New York, Philadelphia and
other seaports, to undervalue importations to
this country, and thus swindle this government
out of an immense amount of revenue. The
matter, so far as New York is concerned. was
under proper legal inquiry by George Bliss,
who, on retiring from the District Attorney s
office, tranferred it to Mr.. Woodford, who has
been instructed to press the prosecutions as
fast as possible. 1t is stated that when the
suits are tried scheme of fraud will be reveal
ed greatly exceeding in extent, skill and sue
cess that of Lawrence and his associates. AT
least three New York concerns will be exposed,
whose members have amassed very large sums
by their connection with the system. Exactly
who these defaulters are cannot yet be reveal
ed.
1t is likely that proceedings against dishonest
merchants in other cities will be delayed until
atter the suits against these here have been
tired. One result of the investigation of Mr..
Mooa IN europe, VIII be, it is understood, the
dismissai IN disgrace OF several Consuls who
have prostituted their position and authority
for the purpose of enriching themselves bv de-.
frauding the Government. ~
