TREASURY RAID.

A Syndicate Formed to Extract Many
Millions on Account of Import Charges.
PHILADELPHIA, April 10.--0nc OF the
most gigantic raids ever made on the
United States treasury is that which has
been organized by the importers OF hat
trimmings, ribbons, laces, satins, silks
and pushes. If the syndicate which
has the scheme in charge shall be sue
cessful in its efforts. the Government
will pay out Of the treasury about Sl5.-
900, 900 or $50, 900, 900 in refund OF duties.
The United States Supreme Court gave
q decision short time ago in the IA
nous Eidelhoff case. where a suit had
been brought to secure a refund OF GUS
toms duties paid at the rate OF so per cent,
which is the rate of duty on all silks,
whereas they should have been taxed
but 90 per cent The Supreme Court
Justices decided in favor of Eidelhoff at
the lower rate, and the Secretary OF the
Treasury accepted this decision as APP
plying to other similar cases that tho
department had contested and lost In
fact, it had been tacitly understood that
this was to be test case. 1mportations'
appraised at about $1,000, 900 were in
volved in this decision, and the syndi-
cate is entitled to q refund OF 80 per
cent upon the amount of duties paid,
which will net it over 81, 900, 900.

The Distinguished cOngr eastman on His
Deathbed.
WASHINGTON. April 10-The friends
OF Hon. Samuel j. Randall may accept
the melancholy fact that he is at
deaths door and that 1t will DO little
less than miracle II he survives the
next ten days.
Mr.. Randall has experienced another
relapse and his condition Is much worse.
DIR. Mallan, Mr.. Randalrs physician.
said that the condition OF his patient
was very serious, although Mr.. Randall
was slightly better. There was freeI
flow OF pus from the abscess and the alb
scess had healthier appearance. But
this, he said. did not indicate an i'm
provement in the patients condition.
The remarkable thing about Mr.. Ran.
dall's illness Is the vitality he exhibits.
He rallies surprisingly and OH severaI
occasions has astonished his physicians
by his recuperative powers. His
strength. however, Is diminishing and
though his will power remains undated,
his physical system responds much
more slowly now than it did some time
ago His mind has been clear and he
has been able to move himself III bed
with but little assistance. In appear
ance he is wasted and gaunt to degree
that makes all the more remarkable the
strength which remains.
At midnight Mr.. Randairs condition
was about the same, but it can not be
told how soon another and more serious.
