CUSTOMS FRAUDS.
Belief That the Exposure Will Decrease I'm.
portations From Canada.

New YORK, Dec. 30.-Referring to the
consular frauds in Canada the Washington
correspondent of the Herald says: Il am
told that Treasury experts are now of the
opinion that the recently discovered frauds
in. the importation of dutiable merchandise
from Canada have lost the revenue service
very much greater sum than the amount
hitherto estimated. The actual loss to the
revenues of the United States is millions of
dollars. The detection and suppression of
these frauds are so important that it is con-
fdently believed one of the immediate results
will be notable decline in Canadian ex-
ports to the United States, apart from the
opinion that it is due to higher duties under
the Mckinley bill.''

Balfour Secures the Arrest Of Dillon

Nationalists.
Charged with Conspiracy and In
citing Starving Tenants Not
to Pay Rent.
Parnellites are Greatly Surprised but Not
Cast Down--To Prevent Their
Trip to America.

DUBLIN, Sept. 18.-John Dillon was ar
rested this morning at his residence near
this CITY, and conveyed on special train to
Tipperary, accompanied by large military
escort. William O'Brien was arrested at
Glengarif and taken to Cork. Warrants
have been issued for the arrest Of Sheedy
and Condor, members Of the house Of COM
MONS and Patrick O'Brien and Rev. David
Humphreys, of Tipperary. The charges on
which Dillon was arrested are conspiracy
and inciting the tenants ON Smith
Barry's estate not to pay rent.
Here in Dublin the police are keeping a
strict watch at the headquarters Of the
Land league. Dispatches from Tipperary
report that organizers of the local branch
league there are under close police surveil-
ance. This leads to the belief that the
authorities are contemplating further ar
rests. The Irish nationalists had no sus-
picion of the impending blow, and are at
loss to know what it portends. Mingled
surprise and indignation is the predomi-
nant feeling. Dispatches from various
parts of Ireland indicate that the national
lists are everywhere excited at the arrests.
O'Brien and wife arrived at Tipperary TO-
night. Ihey were enthusiastically cheered
during their passage through the town. In
court the prosecution asked that O'Brien
be remanded till Thursday in $1,000 bail.
This was done. A police inspector denied
on examination that the mission to Amer
lea had anything to do with the arrests.
Dillon was also received by large crowd,
and after giving bail addressed the people
from the steps Of his house. The warrant
mentioned offenses occurring between
March and September. A constable served
a warrant on Sheehy but did not arrest
him. 88

larly wool, coal and iron ore; for

the importance of reciprocal trade with
Canada as means of promoting CONNER
cial and industrial welfare of this common
wealth. The Mckinley bill is denounced
as the most iniquitous piece of legislation

the recent attempt of the secretary of state
to secure an amendment to the Mckinley
bill by incorporating into it some provision
looking towards more intimate commercial
relations with the sixteen sister republics of
North, Central and South America, which
the democratic committee demanded in
1888; and we regret the failure of this at
tempt. We condemn the unwillingness of
the republican senators and representatives
to secure proper regard for New England
interests in framing tariff bill. and for
their avowed readiness to sacrifice its pros
perity to the exiRencies of party politics."

Most Wonderful Feat ON Record.
CHICAGO, Sept. 1S.-Paul Alexander john
stone, the mind reader, performed this af-
ternoon feat, which, to all appearances,
disproves the theory that man possesses five
senses and also the belief that mind reading
is really species of muscle reading. In
presence of large audience at the Yelling
ton hotel, Johnstone was blindfolded, his
ears and nostrils stuffed with cotton and a
lighted cigar placed in his mouth to destroy
for the time being hearing. sight. smell and
taste. Thick gloves were placed on his
hands. He then requested the proprietors
OF the hotel to stand behind him and think
of the combination of the safe. This was
done. and without contact with the gentle
men. the mind reader turned correctly to
all the numbers and opened the safe.

A MYSTERIOUS PARTY.

Canadians Worked Up Over an OUTFIT
Which Crossed Over From Montana.
WINNIPEG, Man., Sept. 1S.-[Special.] IA
mysterious party of surveyors or miners
who are at present exploring in the Peace
river country north of Edmonton, are ex-
citing the suspicious of the Canadian au-
thorities. They came over the border from
Montana with well-equipped outfit and
have been exploring for the past two
months along Peace river. They say min
ing is their object. but they we're equipped
more like an engineering than mining
party, and not an ordinary en-
gineering party either. A gentleman
recently returned from the west
vouchsafed the opinion that the party was
evidently in the employment of the United
States government, but what object it had
in making this journey he did not pretend
to say. Whether or not it was in connec-
tion with the Alaska boundary could not be
as the ''miners's themselves
were as dumb as oysters. They would saw
nothing beyond that they intended mining
in the Peace river. The idea of their engage
ing in mining is generally dlscredited, and
as the expedition is costly one it's evident
secret mission is isremarkably unaccountable.

He Writes . Letter Concerning Montana
Surveys Of Public Lands.
WAsmHaroN. Sept. 1s.-[Special, Sur
veyor General Eaton, of Montana, has writ
ten to Col. Sanders and Mr.. Power COM
planning that under the present regulations
surveys in that state cannot be made unless
settlers upon public lands petition for
them. This is great hindrsnce to the
work, and may prevent the state from MAX
ing surveys and selecting lands for public
institutions granted in the enabling act.
The gentlemen laid the matter before Com
missioner Croft to-day. and were informed
that as this was only an order by the land
office and was not controlled by law he
would have the matter corrected. but
said that the secretary's ap-
proval would be necessary, which he
had no doubt could be obtained as soon a.
that official returned. This will leave the
surveys Of lands largely at the disposal Of
Mr.. Eaton, who will select such land for
survey as in bis Judgment is best, and the
surveys can be made apart from settle-
ments and state institutions can make their
selections in a lump. It is probable that
the order will be made to include other
northwestern states.
