sMUGGLED CANNES.

On information received at the ONCE Of the Special
Agent OF the Treasury inspector sent yester-
day. on board the steamer City Of New York, where
he seized two King Charles spaniels, two skye ter
rers and bull terrier which were in the posses
sion Of some Of the sailors. The CANNES were
slowed away in the coal holes of the ship. It 10
claimed by the officers that dog dealers In New York
adopt the practice Of importing their stock in this
surreptitios manner in order TO evade the duty OF
twenty per cent imposed by the tariff animals not
intended for breeding purposes.
The sailors who brought the dogs over were taken
to the Custom House, where they made all kinds OF
smuggling. They however. paid duty OF $40 each
for the two skye terriers. which were valued at go
piece The value OF the bull terrier appraised
at SIS, while the spanies were said to be worth moth
ing. The duty ON these three CANNES not coming
forth they were chained In the seizure room.

THE LETTER FROM scHULTE's

THE LETTER FROM scHULTEs BROTHER.
Upon inquiry at the office Of the German Consul
General Schumacher it ascertained that he had
received letter from Frederick William Schultz in
answer to cable despatch that he sent announcing
the murder of his brother, the late j. H. Schultz.
There is nothing in the letter that throws any
particular light the murder, and after
asking for certificate of the death Of
his brother the writer states that J. H. Schultz
probably had with him bonds and other securities to
the value OF about $4,000. The letter was some
time getting to the Consul General, AZ it was ad-
dressed, mister Mayor Schumann" The Consul
partially explains the faulty address, as he under
stood that the Mayor of Norwak had also teegraphed
for instructions and the brother evidently got con-
fused and mixed up the two addresses.

the very pinnacle of pedestrian fame. Cover,
ing distance of $50 miles in s1x days, he has
beaten the former record Of BROWN, the only
competitor who held out against him to the
end in the contest, and accomplished what
no other pedestrian has, aud demonstrated
more fully and forcibly than heretofore the
remarkable "staying qualities which
he was known to possess. ). The bnited

alleled performances of Parole on the turf,

to order the dismissal Of the KhetcST; : !;
because he knows that the appointment OF
his successor will be tantamount to the loss
Of his province; and, on the other, horde
of hungry, rapacious creditors who will not
consent to the reduction Of the principal or
tho interest Of the debt, or even to adjust
the rate OF interest upon the standard Of the
rates of othor countries. Whatever change
may bs made, it cannot benefit the people of
Egypt. They have hitherto been robbed to
pay for the prodigaoies Of the Khedive, and.
whsn the country passes under the domina-
ton OF England and France, they will still
be robbed to pay dobt which was incurred
without their consent, aud in the negotiation
OF which they had no voice. As neither En-
gland nor France can get any moro out OF the
country than the Khedive has, for he has been
absolute and has taken everything that has
been produced, 1T is difficult to see what ad-
vantage there will be in change of Khedive,
except that, when the new Khedive fails to
raise any moro revenue than the old one, the
two Powers will annex the country, and
Turkey will thus be ghorn Of more territory.

It was understood by the Khedive Of
Egypt, when, short tine SINCE the. four
Western Powers of Europe insisted upon his
abdication Of the throne. or the just and full
payment Of his national debts, that he would
simply have to transfer the reins Of Govern
nnent to one of his two sons, and let the
governmental machine, SO to speak, run
right along in its old grooves. This
would have been a very easy, and,
for the Khedive, pleasant why Of
exhicating himself from his financial di1em-
ma. But there is another sido to the ques-
ton, as is evidenced BY the latest action of
the four Powers, They do not propose to
let the old spsudthrift go so easily, aud
sent him official notification yesterday TINT,
just IS soon as he steps down from and out
Of his Royal position, his sons must leavo
Egypt. So theirs is no alternative but to
close up business, 80 far IS his family goes,
and let tho national creditors realize as best
they can On what is left.
