HoW sMUaaLINa IS DOVE
Hbw the Customs Laws Are Sc
Easily Evaded.

CHICAGO, March 5. - a sensa-
tlonal holsewhippiug case at Six
teenth street and Michigan avenue
has given the customs officers here
something to do, and the customs
officers in New York will also have
another case Of alleged smuggling
upon their hands today. The man
who was horsewhipped was J. A.
Cummings, manager Of the costum-
Ing establishment OF Mrs. Kate
Reilly. No. 1880 Michigan avenue
and the one who welded the whip
was Stewart Charles Wade, the
husband Of a former employe OF
Mrs. Reilly. Mrs. Wade is a young
Englishwoman, formerly employed
in a similar establishment in Lou
don. She says that In September,
1890, Mrs. Reilly, who lives at NO
IA Dover street, Plccadilly, promised
her good wages in her New Yorh
establishment at No. SIT Fifth ave-
nue., and per cent. Of everything
she sold. She agreed, and came to
New York with Ave trunks given
her by Major Griffith, Mrs. Reiily's
husband, which Mrs. Wade now
saws we're filled with smuggled
goods. Since then. she alleges, she
has not received her 5 per cent.
promised, nor the 5000 which the
major promised her In addition.
She was transferred TO Chicago, and
nut her claims into the hands Of b
LAWYER. When the latter went to
see Mr.. Cummings, he was told that
the latter was Dlackmailer, and
this being told to Mr.. Wade, he got
q horsewhip aud thrashed Mr.. Cum
nings soundly. Mrs. Wade then
notified the customs officers and
they seized four wraps and three
dresses for which no revenue receipt
could be shown. Mrs. Wade also
charged that Mrs, Reilly made q
business of employing young women
in London for her New York estab-
lIshment and furnishing them with
trunks full of goods, which they
passed through the New York Gus
tom house as their own, turnine
them over, on their arrival, to the
Fifth avenue establishment. After
being employed for time in New
York, the young women were dis.
charged. Mrs. Wade says that Mr..
and Mrs. Dunison and Miss Pllley,
Of s East Thirty.first street, and
Miss Green, A. j. Broad, Miss Har-
rjs and Mile. Tiroulllier, now in the
Fifth avenue establishment, brought
goods over for Mrs. Reilly on which
duties were not paid.

LocKPoRT, N. Y, March 5.-The

trously than was at first thought.

man was injured nevertheless, five
persons have been kept in the Office
of he contractors waiting call in

He was taken to Buffalo,, and it IL
feared that he will not recover, The

was asked to give statement as 10
the effect of the English govern.
ment not renewing the mOdus vi
vendi in BehringIsea today said: 81
the statement is true ruin and exteT
mination Of the fur seal is at hand.
Unless the modus viyendi is renewed
poachers will kill practically all tn
seals left on the island" Congress- y
Elliott continued, "should ascertain
at once whether this proposition
Salisbury is final or not. If 1t is d
bill should be passed Immediately
repeating the law preventing the
Killing of female eeals on the Islandf.
If Canadian and American poachers
are allowed to kill female seals
within thirty miles Iof the islands
the law abiding Americans on the
islands ought TO be allowed a chance
get their share"
1t Is contended by experts thai
the opening of Behring sea for one
season ln the manner suggested
would result in the speedy extermin-
alton of the seals and there would
then be nothing left to arbltrate
upon. Unless Salisbury recedes
from his present position and con-
sents to renewal Of last years
modus vivendi, restricting the kill
ing Of seals to such as are regarded
as necessary for the natives. 1t will
be necessary for this government
to undertake alone the protec-
tion of seals, by the enforcement
of lsws bearing on the subject. Pro-
bably special meeting of the cabi-
net will be held Monday for the
purpose of considering the subject
and deciding upon action In case
Lord Salisbury insists on his last
proposition.

PENSION INVESTIGATION.
8 Secretary Bussey on the Witness
Stand Yesterday.

w AsHINaroN, March 4.--Secre,
tary Bussey, of the interior depart
ment, was yesterday before the spe-
cial investigation by the committee.
EnIoe, after eliclting the informa-
ton there were number of com-
plants from pensioners Of delaying
thu adjustment of their claims,
asked II an order had been issued
practically taking the Office force
from work under the old laws and
putting II to work on the adJudica-
tion Of cases under the dependent
and disability act Of 1890. Bussey
denied the entire force was 30 en-
ployed, but added large number OF
claims arising under the old law, In
which the evidences was insufficient
To meet It's requirem snts, had been
adjudlcated under the new law
through an order issued 10y himself q
TO the commissioners In 1888. Enloe
then examined Bussey with refer
ence TO the "completed flleso order,
which It was charged was Issued al
the request OF Pension Attorney
Lemon, and gave Lemon II consid-
cradle advantage la prosecuting
claims. Bussey said he believed the
order facilitated the adjudication of
claims. 1t was true that many
claims found by the board Of re-
View 10 be incomplete were put ON
the completed files, but no cases
that were known Ia advance 10 be
Incomplete were put there. Wit
ness did not know from whom the
order originated. He had heard
before II was issued that the expsri
ment had been made on some of
lemons eases. Practical exper-
ience, Bussey declared, had demon
ntrated that under the completed
filean order greater efficiency was
observed than under the former
methods.

SENATOR HILLS SALARY.
he Refuses to Draw More Than is
Exactly Due Him.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-There
was quite an interesting episode III
the rooms. of the secretary of the
senate after the vote on the Idaho
case had been taken. Senator Hill
strolled into the room and remarked
that if convenient he would like to
draw little money. The secretary
of the senate, who is General Anson
G. McCook of New York, is the dis
bursing officer of the senate. He
draws monthly from the treasury
sufficient amount to pay the salar-
les Of members, and with the begin
ming of each session draws enough
to pay their mileage and stationery
allowance. Senator Hills request
vas promptly responded to by Sec
reiary McCOok's disbursing clerk,
who placed before him vouchers for
an amount aggregating about $4,000,
and asked him to sign them. "Oh,
no." said the senator, II want a
voucher for my salary from the day
| was sworn in, in January, 1892,
up to the end of February. This is
your usual pay day, is it not, the Sd
of the month ?n The clerk said it
was, but went on to remark that
they had certain amount standing
on their books to the credit of the
New York senator, and to pay out
only a portion of that amount
would cause confusion both in their
bookkeeping and that of the treas
ury department. With some brus-
quencss of manner, Mr.. Hill said
this was none of his business; they
must keep their books to suit them,
selves; he wished to draw his salary
for the actual time he had served in
in the senate, and not one cent
more. After some further paTleying,
the clerk made out a voucher for
SS97.09, and this Mr.. Hill signed
and took a check for that amount in
full payment of all his claims upon
the senate salary and mileage fund
up TO date; S77S of this amount was
for salary from January to Febru-
AIRY 90, and the balance was for
mileage. The disbursing clerk
stated afterward that the balance
left undrawn was 1920, which
would in due course by operation of
law be converted back into the
treasury.

Have Some Words.

Have Some Words.
WAsHINGToN, March 5.-Greek
met Greek in the house yesterday,
and for few minutes lively par
ioinentary colloquy was carried on
bel ween Speaker Crisp and ex-
speaker Reed over the vexed ques-
rion Of "no quorum.n The entire
day had bcen consumed in desultory
consideration of minor measures,
and Kilgore, of Texas, moved a re-
cess until p. M. On division the
vote stood So to SO.
Encle demanded tellers, and they
being refused, he raised the point
that no quorum had voted.
"The gentleman from Tennessee, 1"
said the speaker, "mskes the point
of no quorum on the motion, and
the chair will have to appoint
tellers.n
Here Mr.. Reed interposed with
the remark, "rhe gentleman does
not make point Of no quorum. He
makes the point that no quorum
has vote1."
"Under the rules of the house aud
under the present administration of
thd house." said The speaker. "gen-
tlemen are not present unless they
vote" (Applause on the Democratic
side.)
THAT shows, psaid Mr., Reed, "thaL
there has been a new system adopted
since the last congress-"
THAT shows that the present oc-
cupant of the chair will endeavor to
enforce the rules of the house as
they now exist" retorted the
speaker.
Nevertheless" replied The ex-
speaker, "the observation l made is
entirely correct"

with dignity, "but it is entirely out

Mr.. Reed, land the chair had no

the chair sustained the point, where

OF the chair to that, the chair had
no right to make such retort, even
If he was supported by the dlsorderly
applause upon his side, which he
permitted
"rhe chair will state" said the
speaker, "that there is no distinction
under the preseut rules of the house |
between the point of no quorum
and of no quorum voting. There
was distinction between those
points under the rules of the last

During the colloquy between the
speaker and Mr.. Reed, both gentle
men appeared 10 lose some of their
customary equanimlty, and their
