Last Year.

Last Year.
WASHINGTON, November Both. A K.
Tingle, Chief of the Special Agents of the
Treasury Department, reports that during
the last fiscal year the expenditure of his
bureau was SIT, 1872 sc. The sum of S507,
ia Al was turned into the treasury as the
result of the service, and but 1856 IL was
involved in cases undetermined.
There were 332 seizures of goods, ap-
praised at S25, 4S3 As, and twelve persons
arrested. He recommends that special
agents be allowed to administer oaths and
take dispositions; that Customs employees
be not required to swear to their accounts !;
that the Consular regulations be so
amended as to require the attachment OF
Consular translation into English OF all
certified invoices not expressed in that Ian
guage; that the ports Of entry no longer
necessary be abolished by the Secretary OF
Treasury, and that he be empowered so to
do; that the law which makes all the ports
of the Mississippi river and its tributaries
ports of delivery within the New Orleans
Collection District be abolished.
On The subject of the prevailing fraudu-
lent method of evading revenue valuations
by means of consignments, Chief Tingle
makes no new suggestions, but says that
the roots of the system are so hrmly
planted that if ad valorem duties are con-
tinued very material alterations OF the law
regulating importations and appralsements
will be required.

by Brave Women.
New YORK, November 30th.-Dr. Mary
E. Walker of Washington, has written to
Mrs. Hannah Southworth characteristic
letter which has just been made public:
WASHINGTON Cd. CO., Nov. 26, 1889.
Dear Mrs. SoutttcOrth; 1 have read your state
third of century of practice in families of all
social grades has given me an insight into the
possibilities of human deprayity, not only, but
its actually. The settling of the scoundrels
by brave women frightens those OF the same
ilk. Your sister woman.
MARY b. WALKER, M. d.
The murderess of Pettus is much pleased
with the communication. The tone of de-
tense as outlined is peculiarly aggressive.
A prominent lawyer said to-day: There
will probably be an attempt 10 try the man
who has been murdered rather than the
woman VINO murdered him." The trial
will be begun after the Christmas holidays
and will last many days.
The New York World says: There is
no question that it will be one of the most
interesting trials that has occurred in many
years, and if all the promises held out are
made good half the story has not been
told.n
A will in Pettus' handwriting has been
found, and everything is left to his widow.
A careful estimate made of the estate OF the
deceased places it at nearly million.

CALIFORNIA RAIsINs.
They Will Soon Shut Out all Foreign Inn
nortatiOns.

New YORK, November Bradstreet'S
Journal this morning editorially says Cal
ifornia is beginning to outstrip Spain in
the production of raisins. Consul Marston
of Malaga, indeed, makes the significant
statement that Spanish vine dressers, who
have suffered of late years from phylloxera,
have replaced the vines that have been de-
stroyed by American stock. In 1882 the
crop of raisins raised in Malaga reached
l, 800, 600 boxes of which there were shipped
to the United States nearly 100000 boxes.
Since that time the shipments to the United
States have been gradually but steadily de-
creasing. In 1888, when the production
amounted to about zoo 900 boxes, only
112, 900 were exported to this country.
Marston adds that many Spaniards pre-
dict that the vintage of 1889 will reduce
still further the purchases made for export
alton to the United States, and that in a
few years Malaga raisins win be replaced,
even for consumption in Spain, by those
produced in California.
