THE CHICAGO CUSTOM HOUSE.

Washington, June, 12.-Assistant Sec
rotary French, to whom was referred The
question Of alleged frauds in the Chicago
custom house, raised by William Henry
Smith, collector, and Assistant District At
tornsy Thompson, reported today. The re-
port says the contracts were made according
to law and custom, and if any blame is to
be found it is due to the secretarys Of pre-
ceding administrations, who approved the
contracts. The report exonerates the su.
peryising architect Hit, a. to conplicity
in the contracts, and. Gays the evidence does
not show Mueller guilty of conspiracy to de-
fraud the government. Burling is not shown
guilty Of any fraud a. superintendent Of
construction. Prussing had charge of the
stone cutting and was responsible for the
quality Of stone and for the work of the men.
He knew Of the unfalthfnllness Of the men,
but was powerless to resist it. and Is to him
there was no express evidence of fraud.
There seemed conspiracy or At least . com.
binaton among I'VE stone cutter and time.
keepers to protracs the time IN d thus de-
fraud the government, but opposes bringing
these men - trial ~ being insxpsdient.
The secretary indorses this, and ays the
chief reason Of Tie excessive cost Of the
Chicago building il Is per csat. contracts,
which have alFsady besa abolishsd.

WASHINGTON DINNERS.

Nisa fact capable Of proof BY history,
according TO this authority, that no man
ever became very influential in congress who
dld not give good dinners, or "gander par
ties" az the possibly jealous ladies term
them. From the same source We learn that
a knowledge of how to give good dinners
made Colfax speaker; that Blaine use, the
same seductive means Of success; that ST.
Cameron Is q peer of the great Sam
Ward himself; that Henry Wilson rose by
dinners, and at lest physically succumbed 10
tao much eating; and that Sumner did not
despise to reach mems heads through their
stomachs. The most frequent sud best Civ
er of dinners nowadays is said 10 DO Mr..
Hewitt, of whom the writer says: "Hu
own stomach surrendered to his artistic
palate years ago, but his science ID
still in its prime. There is hardly a day
in the seven that q dozen knees are NOT
knocking, neighborly, under his mahogany
Fernando Wood is set down as q liberal en-.
te~rtainer; but his dinners are too much like
grand ~banquets, end the quests too numer.
GUS. Nevada Jones' dinner; are elaborate
feasts. Thurman's are quiet and enjoyable
and Bayard's are eaten mostly by western
members. Of Butler, it is said: "The
mantle of Simon Cameron seems to have
alighted on Ben Butler. These seductive
little champagne lunches, which earned til.
foreign Affairs committee room the sobrique,
Of 'Cameron's pantry are spread now ir
the stone palace scross the way. Until
learned the mystery of these lunches, ant
saw how easy it was to slip member or
senator out while an important bill wa
pending, I never understood why Butle
built his house where it stands, two mile
nearly from the fashionable quarter of tn
city,"
