SyINDLING THEIR UNCLE.
Thirty Thousand Dollars Worth Of
Glass Seized for Non-Payment
of Duty.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 2j.--The
seizure in New York on July Sd of glass
valued at $4,000, admitted free of duty,
has unearthed a new species of fraud by
which the Government has been robbed
OF more than $50, 600 in this line of goods
alone. Suit has been Instituted against
the firm of f. A. Boyd < Co. for the con-
fscation of the goods. Under the law,
articles furnished by contractors for
Government use are admitted free. Boyd
& Co. have had contracts for the glass
used in the National Museum in Wash
ington and in the new public buildings at
st. Louis and Philadelphia, for which q
permit was issued.
The Supervising Architect, who is re-
sponsible for these imports, is required
to furnish a schedule for the guidance of
the customs officers. In this case the
proper schedule was furnished, but
whether forwarded with the permit is
not known. At any rate, under the
cover of the permit Boyd 4 Co. i'm.
ported 100000 worth of French plate
glass to replace S4,l00 worth used
Since the discovery the Treasury
officers say that one singular fact is

the choice Of the anti.monopoly and anti
ring element Of the party. This result
carries with II a yindiCatiOn OF the State
Administration, and IS Il virtual indorse-
ment Of the unpopular reassessment
measure, inasmuch as the whole strength
and power of the Governor and his staff
OF officials have been concentrated In the
effort to down Faulkner, and secure the
election Of Wilson. The chief cause OF
Faulkner's defeat was the unfortunate Sc
lection Of Colonel Geo II. Motfett, OF
the Register for permanent chair
man. This forced the issue, and
sent over 10 the Governors side
many delegates who had the blundcr not
been made, would have voted Tor Faux
ncr. The general opinion Is that the NOM
inatiOn OF Wilson IS q ,!ua4er, and there
are grave fears that the ticket will be
sacrificed, especially If the Republicans
make a judicious nomination at Parkers-
burg next week.
Thos. Duffy of Webster was nominated

c7AN%AAA ~ N-S O-~~o'l
New YORK, July 24.-The bulls appeared
to be in complete control when business
opened this morning and stocks were marked
up even more rapidly than on yesterday.
Before the first hour elapsed, Lake Shore
reached 1874 and st. Paul 7713, while Can
ada Southern was up per cent. 1t looked
very much as though Mr.. Vanderbilt had
decided to have hand in the
upward movement when the earnings
of the Northwestern for the third week in
July appeared. They showed falling of
$4,000. The stock did not appear to
weaken on the announcement. The Omaha
for the same time decreased 50, 900 and st.
Paul gained s25, 900. The latter stock ad
vanced on this statement. 1t has been an
active day on the exchange, with well dis
tributed business in all the leading shares.
Western Uuion Telegraph came to the front
at last. 1t seemed inclined to drag early,
but made handsome gain before the day
ended. Lake Shore was a featvre at the last,
selling at S0%. The bulls have been in
high feather and held their ground well. 1t
will be quite remarkable if we do not have
some sharp reactions. There was cOnsidera-
bic realizing, but there were plenty OF buyers
right up to the finish. The best prices Of the
day were current when business ceased.
A. W. Day says: ''The same skilful man
agement which has kept control of the mar
kets for the past week is still in control and
there are no visible signs of any weakness
in the bull ranks. st. Paul led the markets
at the opening and during the day whenever
there was any hesitation along the line, it
was but the work of but moment to put up
st. Paul and impart strength to the whole
list. Western Union was advanced during
the forenoon and later all the Gould light
fancies were brought out. Lake Shore was
active and very strong. The market seemed
to drag during the last hour and appeared
disposed to sag off, but Lake Shore, North
western and St. Paul were bid up sharply
and the close appeared to be very strong at
about the best figures of the day. It will be
very strange if there is not decided dispo-
siton to take profits before the week is
ended.n
