through some oversight H. G.. Jacobs

The evidence in the Custom House case
is very damaging, and has been taken
entirely by the Grand Jury, assisted by
the United States DISCREET Attorney Bangs
No other government officers have been
concerned in the matter. It is said thai
the evidence goes further than that in the
preliminary examination made here las

shows continued shameful management ir

PEslH, November o2.-Count Andrassy,
AustrO-I Hungarian Premier, has informed
the delegations that Prince IAbanoh, Rus
sian Ambassador Mt Constantinople, de-
clared to the Porte that East Roumania
would only be evacuated three months af-
ter the Porte signed the treaty, replacing
the treaty Of San Steiano. Austria's views
being asked by the Powers, she declared
that the treaty was Russo-Turkish affair.
but that tho statement otthe evacuation OF
Fast Roumania was contrary to tile treaty
OF Berlin. Russia admitted this view and
disayowed Prince Lahanoff's declaration.
Russia has since emphasized the wish to
ConsoiDntiously execute the treaty OF Ber.
lin and only demands that the Porte shall
do likewise. The expectation that The
Porto will do SO Is justified by the benefits
she derives from the treaty.

COLUMBIA, S. G., November %.
Capt. Hoffman's detachment OF the
Revenue force was surrounded on the
night OF the Goth in house where they
were stopping in Abbeville county, near
the Georgia line, by band OF armed men
at least twenty in number, and ordered to
leave the county. Their lives were threat
ened and several shots fired. It is believed
that the efforts OF the farmer with whom
they were stopping saved them. The Off
cers have Withdrawn to Abbeville Court
House, waiting for reinforcements, which
l have ordered.
Commissioner Raum replied as follows:
II had entertained high hopes that the
Revenue officers would meet with no fur
ther armed resistance in your district, but
in this have been disappointed. Rein
force Capt Howard sufficiently to over
come all resistance, and thoroughly enable
the police OF Abbeville county to make all
proper seizures and arrests. l wish it dis
tinctly understood that will oppose any
further amnesty in your State. Offenders
must expect to be prosecuted to the full
extent OF the law"
