COLLECTOR MAGoSE DIRECTED TO MAKE AN INvEsTI-
CATION.
From the New York Telegram. Sept. "a.
The officers or the customs department at this
port are after certain persons with sharp stick
Collector Magone has received instrucl lions from
Washington TO investigate alleged authorizations
and other abuses in the tea trade. The exact ma
ture OF these Instructions cannot be fully made
public until the collector has completed his inyes-
legation and forwarded his report TO the Secretary
or the Treasury. IL Is not asserted that any par
tcuiar dealer In New York Is fault but the Gov
eminent has reason to suspect that tea traders in
foreign countries are cheating the American pub
lie, and that methods Of treating the leaf have
been adopted which endanger the health Of the
people.
Collector Magone's secretary said this morning
thdt the whole matter had been referred to the
APPRAISER OF the port Zine appraiser has full
power 10 act III cases where imported goods do not

tlon Is an expert Chief Inspector and assistant,
whose duty IL is to examine all cargoes and pre-
vent frauds II It is found that tea brought here

segment Is condemned"
The customs officials intended that the matter
should De Kept quiet until the detectives had

proceedings; but somehow the fact leaked out
tnat the Treasury Department had ordered an in
VesLlgation,
STIR IN THE TRADE.
There was decided hutterlng among the deal
erS, both wholesale and retail. The question
asked on all sides was: "Who Is at fault?" Some
feared that objectionable tea had found its way
Into the market. There are men ia China. Japan,
anu other countries who make IL a business to
"uoctor' Tea. They color and flavor inferior
grades py means or certain chemicals and pecu-
Har treatment, SO as TO make them pass for higher

the abuses were carried on 10 such extent that

THE NEXT DAY.
The Municipal Court Has an I'm
usual Amount of Work.


The police court yesterday furnished
an unusual amount of entertainment
for the select audience, composed of
those who seem to prefer this place of
amusement to any other in the city.
There was the usual number of
persons arraigned for offenses
committed on Sunday against
which no injunction has been issued by
Judge Lochren. The six men arrested
Thursday night at 10 Fourth street
south for gambling were tried and
discharged. 1t was shown that. the
room was filled up with all the
accommodations for card playing, but
the prosecution was unable to show that
the men were gambling at the time of
the pull" or went there for that pur-
pose.
Katie Starr, living in a boarding house
on Sixth avenue north, between Second
street and Washington avenue, had
James Dillon arrested for using abusive
language. 1t appeared that the two had
row and that Dillon was not very
choice in his language at the time. The
court let him off with So fine,
James and Charles Berry were tried
upon the charge of assaulting p. j.
Wilkins, residing at 212S Second street
south. 1t appeared that James had
made. an insulting proposition to a
a young daughter of Mr.. Will
kins. which the latter resented. The
families are neighbors. and when Mr..
Wilkins was returning home one even
ing last week with his arms filled with
bundles Charles struck him in the face.
A fine of $40 was imposed, with the adj
mOnition that the Berry contingent
should behave itself in the future.
Mrs. Max Vogel was fined $40 for
breaking in the windows of the tailor
shop of Max Vogel at 421 Hennepin av-
enue. The two have separated. and a
divorce suit is now pending.

Inc ChamDer Oh commerce Me-

At the meeting of the chamber of
commerce yesterday morning the fol-
lowing memorial was adopted in refer
ence to wheat rates: To the Honorable
the Interstate Commerce Commission:
This chamber of commerce, represent
ing the grain dealers in a market which
receives and sells more than $4,000 900
bushels of wheat per annum, and more
than that of any other market in the
United States, has learned that various
commercial organizations in the Eastern
seaboard cities have been demanding
of your honorable body tOmake ruling
requiring rates of freight on product
shipped for export from interior points
in the United States to be on the basis
of the same charge per ton per mile
from the point of shipment to the sea-
board as paid upon property consigned
to seabord points. We are convinced
that such ruling would greatly injure
the interests of the Northwest. de-
pendent a they are. very largely
upon the cereal, the price of
which is determined by the prices of
foreign markets, less the through rate
of freight. We therefore petition your
honorable body against the imposition
of such rates, but on the contrary ask
that the present freedom of action be
allowed the transportation companies so
that we may be able to dispose of our
surplus products i'll the worlds markets
to the best advantage.

THE BLOW OF A BRUTE.
A Negro on Trial for Hitting q
Child With a Brick.


August Warren. gigantic colored
man, was tried yesterday for assault in
the second degree. The complaining
witness, Mary Hollenbach, bright
little white girl, testified that while
playing in front of her parents house,
on Fourth avenue south the defendant
approached her and asked her if she
was not his little white chippie. She
answered him in rather a Saucy manner
and ran into the house. A short time
afterward while sitting at the window
she was struck in the face with brick
that was thrown with such force that
she was knocked SenSeleSS to the floor.
A couple of children who were playing
in the street at the time testified that it
was the defendant who threw the brick,
but he denied being present when the
brick was thrown. and couple of col
Ored men cOrrObOrated his statement.
The case was given to the jury, and,
after they had been out short time,
Judge Hicks called them in and
asked them if they had agreed on
a verdict, they answered that they had
not, and he then discharged them and
continued the case over the term. and
allowed the defendant to give bail in
the amount of $50. The complaining
the fearful blow which she had re-
ceived, although the affair happened
several weeks ago.
After the termination of the case
against August Warren, the same jury
waSSempaneled in the case of the state
against Elijah West. charged with at
tempting to commit the crime of rape
Oh a child less than ten years old. The
prisoner is a large man, whose hair
has commenced to turn grey,
and who looks as though he
might be about fOrty-five years. of age.
He made a much better appearance
yesterday than when arranged, he hay
ing had his whiskers shaved off and
changed his old suit of clothes for a
new suit. The only witness examined
was Emma Kurigan, the complainant in
the action. She is bright-loOking little
girl aged nine years and lives on Water
street in Northeast Minneapolis. She
testified to having seen the defendant
number of times in the vicinity of the
saw mills near her home, bat
was not acquainted with him.
The day he attempted the crime
she was ON her way to the
grocery store on Plymouth avenue,
where her parents traded, to order some
groceries, when she met the defendant
on the Plymouth avenue bridge. He
asked her where she was going and gave
her 10 cents to buy some candy. He
then took her hand and went with
her to the store; Oh their way back he
led her behind pile of lath near the
end of bridge and attempted to outrage
her. She struggled with him as best
she could and cried, and just then
team drove up near where they were,
and he let her go and she ran home and
told her mother what had happened.
She told very straight story, and did
not change from her direct testimony in
the least. The prisoner appeared to be
was on the stand, and one would have
hardly supposed that he was the de-
PENDANT in the case. The trial will be
resumed this morning.

Queer Business Transaction.

The NicOllet Bank Gets Onto
Queer Business Transaction.
The directors of the Nicollet Ma
tional Bank of Minneapolis, OF which
John DeLaittre is president and j. F.
K. FOss is secretary, have been in ses-
sion all day, pulling themselves over
the peculiar business methods of Shot
well, Clerihew & Lothman. In the
schedules of the assets and liabilities of
the firm the bank is put down credi
ter to the extent of s92 ,009.24. the bulk
of which Indebtedness was created
under peculiar circumstances. The
dry goods firm had always done
business with the Nicollet, and
in the summer of 1887 the bank was car
rying the firms paper to the extent of
nearly $4,000. In August the directors
declined to carry it any longer, though
no suspicion of danger existed, and at a
should be reduced. This was done
gradually, until recently the amount
was but $4,000; but the firm withdrew
the business from the bank and trans
ferred it to the Northwestern and the
Union, the former being named cred
itOr to the extent of $4,000 and the
latter $4,000.
The peculiar transaction is as follows:
A month or so ago, just before Mr..
Shotwell went East, conference was
held with the officers of the Nlcollet
bank, and the firm represented that its
liabilities were $41l,O00, or about the
same as shown in its January statement.
The schedule shows the liabilities to be
over million, or an increase of 5000, 900,
and the directors of the bank are won
dering how this increase came about.
During Mr.. ShOtwell's absence the book
keeper of the firm presented drafts for
about $4,000, drawn through the Ma
tional Bank of Commerce of Provi-
dence, r. L., which were paid, but since
the insolvent condition of the firm be-
came known the drafts returned, dis
honored by that bank, which is also a
creditor to the extent OF $4,000.
The directors of the Nieollet had
meeting yesterday to discuss the situa-
ton. There is about $4,000 on hand in
readiness for a per cent dividend,
which will be held for the present, at
least. The bank expects to lose about
so per cent of its claim.
