TALE OF A CRIME.
One Of the Men Implicated in
the Custom Frauds Con
fesses.
Details Of the Smuggling
Scheme Secured by a Prom
Use of Immunity.

SAN FRANCISCO April 12.-Some inside
facts in connection with custom house
frauds were obtained to-day. Outside Of
perhaps eX-Appraiser Seavey there will be
no prosecution of federal officials. Several
merchants are implicated and indictments
will probably be found against them.
1t was learned that ex-Deputy Collector
y. NJ. Cashin was in Sacramento a week ago
last Saturday, having come from Victoria,
3. C., in response to telegram from the
government, promising him immunity if
he should reveal the details of the SNUG
Cling scheme. According to the story told
by Cashin, the people implicated in the
smuggling frauds are Gen. e. S. Salmon,
Charles Edward Heise, Charles NJ. Seavey
and the firms of Neuberger, Refs & Co. and
Steinbergh & kalishner.
"Other firms are in the swim.' Cashn said,
"but had nothing to do with them. Seavey ell
gneered them alone Hese was broker for
Neuberger Refs 4 Co., AM others, ana it was
he who designated cases that were to be sent up

ST. BRENDAN'S VOYAGE,

Among pre-Columbian discoveries
of America the claims OF the Morse
men-or, properly speaking Icelan-
ders-who, by their low stature and
features, are somewhat different from
the characteristic Swedes aud Nor
wegians-and of the Welshmen under
Prince Madoc are fairly well known;
but those in favor of an Irishman,
St. Brendan, bishop OF Clonfert, in
Kerry, are not so familiar to US, al
though they are to the French.
According to eleven different Latin
manuscripts in the National Library,
Paris, one OF which dates from the
eleventh century, st. Brendan left
Tralee. Bay about A. D. $50 on a.
mission to the undiscovered country
which he believed to exist beyond the
Atlantic. The vessel he embarked in
with his companions and provisions,
including five pigs. was caught in g.
current, and after a voyage of MANY
weeks he landed in a strange country,
where he taught the natives the
truths of christianity. ~a.
After seven years he returned to
Ireland, and subsequently tried q
second voyage to the same country.
as he had promised to revisit it but
was baff}ed by the wind and tide. He
died in the order of sanctity in SIS,
aged ninety-four years. The curious
thing is that when Cortez invaded
Mexico he found the natives in
possession OF some OF the doctrines. 'of
christianity, which they said had
been taught them by a stranger clad
in a long robe, who came to them
from the Holy Island beyond the sea
in q "boat with wings" many CEN
turtles before and promised to return
to them. The advent of Cortez was,
in fact, hailed as ful6llment OF this
tradition.
