New York, June S.-Five men are now
in Ludlow stree Jail, and two more men are
out on bail, on a charge of smuggling.
Those in Jail are John Hart, John Hughes,
John Barket, petty officers on the inman
steamer City of New York, and John
Lathin, head barkeeper, and John Merdock,
ship store keeper of the lnman lines CITY oi
Chicago. Those on bail are Edward Baxter,
dock clerk and John Ford, chief cooper,
both employed by the Inman line at Jersey
CITY. In some unaccountable way Lathin
and Merdock learned that the customs
officers were on the lookout for them and
preparations were made to take them of
the Chicago between Sandy Hook and
quarantine this morning. This action was
forestalled. In 1885 Lathin was arrested for
smuggling lot of ready-made clothing,
and he was convicted in the L. >. Court ut
Trenton and got of by paying heavy hne;
The specific charge against Lathln and
Murdock is that on May 18th last they
brought into Jersey City a lot OF ready
made clothing in bags, on which they eva
ded duty.
When the first officer Of the City of
Chicago learned the nature Of the special
customs officers visit, he said he was very
willing to aid them. The manner in which
he went about it, however, left doubts in
the mind of Inspector Britton. Hin direct

Hart. Hughes and Baker, who were taken
from the City of New York, are said to be
wealthy Liverpool persons, who have made
comfortable fortunes by just such prac-
tees as that for which they are now under
arrest
Inspector Britton expects to have ten or
dozen more offenders. He says he is after
the receivers, and the public will be sur
pIised TO learn who they are. Four OF the
inman steamers are now in trouble in con:
nection with smuggling. They are the
City of Chester, City of New York, City
of Berlin and City OF Chicago. Cmei Oth-

A SWEEPING DENIAL.
Gen. Raum Declares There is Nothing
..Rotten in Denmark"

WASHINGTON, June S.-Gen. Ranm,
the Commissioner of Pensions, in an in
terview last evening made the following
statement in regard TO the resolution in
troduced in the House Saturday by Rep
resentative Cooper, of Indiana, calling
for an investigation of the adminiStra-
ton OF the Pension Bureau:
'In the first place" said Gen. Raum,
'there has not been share of the stock
Of the refrigerating company sold to any
one connected with the pension Office or
anyone connected with the prosecution
OF pension claims. As TO the merits of
the refrigerator that is matter for the
public to investigate and decide for
themselves. say in the most emphatic
manner and without any reser-
walton that there has not
been so far as l know any favoritiSm
shown to any individual claimant or at
torney prosecuting claims before the
Pension Commissioner. There is no
foundation whatever for the statement
that by a recent and partial ruling any
eases have been advanced and taken up
out of their order. Claims are treated
with absolute impartiality and no pref
ercnce is or has been given to any one
attorney over another in the prosecution
of claims. In January | issued an or
der creating what is known as the com
pletcd files. This order was widely
promulgated and under it every claim
ant either by himself or his attorney
can, when his case is complete, have it
put upon this list for action. Hun
dredS Of requests come in from all parts
of the country daily for placing cases
upon their regular order and disposed
of through the adiudicatng divisions
without preference or prejudice to any.
There is no foundation whatever for
any charge of favorism in the conduct
of the business OF the Office"

FELL FROM GRACE.
A st. Louis Blood Confiscates the Funds
of Club.


ST. LOUIS, June s.-Geo. NJ. Tiffany,
than whom no man is better known
among gentlemen lovers of fine horses,
has failed from grace. For about year
he has been secretary of gentlemen's s
driving club, an aristocratic aSsocia-
ton of owners OF valuable horses and a
strictly private and high toned concern.
Yesterday morning one OF the papers
contained small advertisement notify
ing the public that Tiffany had been
dismissed for cause and to-day he could
not be found at his hotel or about
the resorts most frequented by
him. He is the son of a wealthy
banker of Hartford, CT. He came
to st. Louis about year ago from To
peka, Ks, and his social qualities and
credentials soon gained him friends.
He was without money, having been
unfortunate in business, and when the
gentlemen's driving club needed a sec
retary Tiffany was recommended and
appointed. Beins an able fellow he did
his work to the satisfaction Of the club
and soon became popular. After a
while. though, change for the worse
began, he would go to the meetings
helDleSsly drunk and make show of
himself. On Saturday he was drunk
and insulting and President Samuel
Sealing was obliged to rebuke him. This
was at the matinee at Forest park. The
result is that he was forced TO resign. Nor
is this all The finance committee OF
the club found his account short. How
much it is impossible to tell until can
vass among the members of the club is
made. One OF his duties was to collect
membership dues. Tiffany did the col
lecting straight enough but failed to
turn the money over to the club. An
examination of his books is being made.
The position of SECRETARY is regarded as
very desirable, it being worth easily
81, 200 to 81, 500 year, and there is little
work. IL. A. Hammel has succeeded
Tiffany as secretary. Mr.. Hammel said
that Tiffany's father had died few
months ago and willed him some money.
He is a married man, his family living
in 'rnnqEo
