The attorney general has decided that
the $4,000 in the state treasury to the
account of the State University Endow-
ment Fund can not be loaned to the
state, as there Is none Of the interest
bearing debt Of the state coming due for
several years. 1t can only be loaned as
are many OF the college funds that Is
lin amounts Of not more than $500 on
real estate security. For these there are
little demand, and the State University
will, therefore, get little benefit FROM Its
endowment.

night state that the storm was a terrible

Reports have been received of four schOOn-
ers wrecked at various points on Lake
Michigan, the crews being rescued in each
case. Fears are felt for the safety of
number of vessels known to be outside of
port. Two unknown fishermen were
washed from the north pier and drowned
yesterday afternoon The lookout at the
life saving station saw them walking on
the pier, and realizing the danger they
were in, signalied them to return. They
paid no attention to his warning, and had
proceeded about fifty yards, when tSo-
mendous breaker was lifted high over the
pier and descended upon the timberS with
crash carrying the two men away The
life boat started to the rescue Immediately,
as did also two sailors who jumped from a
vessel living close by and ran along the pier
in hopes of saving the drowning men, but
these brave fellows wee also swept in the
lake and although the boat was immediate
" lowered from the vessel and sent TO their
assistance they would probably have been
lost but for the OppOrtune arrival of the
life saving crew. The two fishermen, after
brief battle with the waves, sank from
sight and, although the life savers made
dalgent search, their bodies. were not re-
covered.

CUSTOMS FRAUDS.

Disclosure of Frauds in the Under Valua-
tion of Goods by New York Importers.
New YORK, September 26.-Numerous
complaints of evils arising from the under
valuation and appraiSnment of imported
merchandise melted Secretary Manning a
short time ago TO commission three United
States special agents to make an investiga-
ton. The three agents have been at work
here for several days, and whisperings of
extraordinary disclosures are already heard
among the employees Of the custom house
and the Appraisers office. The investiga-
ton is being conducted secretly, and its re-
suits, if made public at all, must first be
filtered through the Treasury Department.
1t is not generally known, but three large
importing houses of this city have lately
paid 20 the Government more than 100000
each on ACCOMPLISHMENTS on goods they had
been accused of underwriting. 1t is prob
able a dozen or fifteen New York firms
will be pressed to pay to the United
States Treasury moneys which the
Governments agents believe should have
been originally paid in honest duties.
These sums will aggregate S1,O00,000. A
widely signed petition is now in circulation
among New York importers asking Con-
gress to substitute specific tariff for the
existing ad valorem rate, which is subject
to the Interpretation of the several agents.
In his reply to Secretary Manning's letter
regarding the tipping of Government
baggage inspection by travellers, District
Attorney DOrsheimer says: 81 beg to as
sure you that your instructions will be
zealously carried out, and that all the
power of this Office will be used to break
up this perniciouS and most disreputable
practice. The first person who shall be
found paying an officer money, and the first
officer who shall be found receiving money
in coutrayen.ion of the laws will be pre-
scented to the grand jury, and the indict-
ments against them will be promptly
brought to trial"
