state commerce bill Garland wanted IL and
the house bill on the same subject sent tp the

rejected, and Cullom said he proposed, when
the senate bill was perfected, to move to
substitute it for the house bill The bill was
amended SO as to make it unlawful to5 dis
criminate against localities or individ-
uals. An amendment was offered
prohibiting greater charge for small guam
titles of freight than largs ones, and the
senate, after executive session, adjourned
until Monday.
The house was discussing private bills all
Friday afternoon, and held a night session
for the same purpose, during which twenty.
one pension bills were passed.

country little good and the Democratic party
less. A sharp personal colloquy amid much
confusion occurred between MesSrs. Stock

The Afghan Dispute.

The relations between England and
Russia over Afghanistan are now so
strained that very slight circum-
stance may precipitate war. How
little thing may do this is illu strated
in the Sepoy rebellion. The exposure
of the oppressive management of In
dia by Warren Hastings compelled
England to make change in the gov
eminent of the country. But the
change in government made little
change in the feelings of the natives
who were embittered toward their
foreign rulers, and ready at any mo-
ment for rebellion. The English were
BILE for many years to keep the ma
tives in subsection by setting the
Mohammedans and Brahmans against
each other, between whom there was
most bitter hatred. Upon only one
thing were they agreed and that was
a religious hatred of hogs fat
One day Hindoo asked Sepoy
soldier, of higher caste, for drink,
and being treated contemporary, he
said to the Sepoy, "You needn't hold
your head so high; every time you bite
cartridge your lips touch hog fat ="
L lilo w Wiz PtBOl woo bii oht WI III
wood, and sufficient, in his opinion, to
exclude him from paradise. Horri-
fed, he told his comrades, who forth
with proceeded to examine their
cartridges, and, finding that they
really contained hog fat, every Sepoy
rebelled, and began those outrages
which shocked the whole civilized
world.
A quarrel between drunken Afghan
and Russian may lead to similar re-
suits, for it would be impossible to
prevent political motives being attach
ed to such an act, though everyone
might believe that it was simply a
personal quarrel.
AS between Russia and Afghanistan
the latter would probably prefer to be
under the dominion of the former, but
England will not permit this, because
Afghanistap contains the gateway to
India, and England for her own pro-
lection insists that this shall be neutral
territory. AT the same time Russia is
determined to control this gateway
herself, and will do so if she ever gets
possession of Herat, toward which an
army has been secretly marching for
some time. England will not permit
her to obtain peaceful possession.
What the result will be it is impos-
sible even to surmse, being even
more doubtful than at the beginning
of the year that the English should
meet with such disaster in Egypt. 1t
is probable that the English troops
have been so arranged in the East
that they can be quickly dispatched
to the seat of war. Indeed, the send
ing of the picked regiments to Egypt
may be to have them convenient to

Cheating the Government.

''One of the most difficult things to
detect" said an old importer, lis the
fraudulent allowance of rebate of Gus
toms duties on goods alleged to have
been damaged. Where the importer
and the appraiser are dishonest the
fraud is almost impossible of detection.
The plan of operations is very simple.
The law requires that the full duties
shall be paid upon the withdrawal of
goods. Then, # goods are found to
be damaged within ten days, the i'm
porter sends word to the custom
house. and an appraiser is sent to the
importers store or warehouse. and
there appraises the damage, and upon
his report is based the allowance of
duties to be refunded. This system
leaves opportunity to commit several
kinds of frauds.
There is, in the first place, an easy
chance to substitute other goods for
those actually imported. There is a
case on record where an importer of
fruits kept lot of damaged goods on
hand for year, and used them to mix
with every importation for the pur-
pose of securing damage allowances.
The goods being in the importers pos
session, it is simply impossible to de-
tect a fraud like that, especially where
the appraiser is dishonest.
"There is, of course, so much de-
pendent upon the judgment of the APP
praiser in such cases that there is a
wide margin for frauds. The APP
praiser, for instance, may report a
lot of preserved fruit as moldy or
sugared. He may judge from an i'm
perfect or dishonest inspection that
class of such goods is entitled to damage
allowances, when in fact there was no
damage at all. The result in such
cases would be to give the dishonest
importer an advantage over his honest
competitors.
1.-The frauds have gone so far that
not long ago committee of the cham
Der of commerce, after investigation,
reported in favor of suppressing dam
age allowances on goods not in them
selves perishable, nor specially sub
ject to suffer damage. They recon-
mended that in lieu of the present sys-
tenn there should be fixed percentages
of rebates for damage, to be ascer-
tanned and established by reference to
actual experience in the past, such
fixed percentages to be allowed on all
perishable goods, whether damaged or
not.
1.-THE collision of some of the APP
praisers with importers of easy con-
science is obvious from the fact that
importations of similar goods in the
same steamer have often been offered
for sale at widely different prices by
the different importers. The Inference
is that the importer who sells so much
lower than his competitors has adj
vantages over the importer who pays
honest duties.
1.-The abuse of damage allowances
has gone so far that it is more than
suspected that there are some custom
house brokers who have special advan-
tages with certain appraisers to secure
damage allowances where none ought
to be allowed. A vigorous effort is
on foot to secure action by congress
on the subject. "-Neao YORK. Sun.
