rest from his official labors. he will 20 to New
York and confer with the Commission engaged
In investigating tho New York Custom House.
The Commissioners have requested Mr. Ham
lin to appear before them officially to facilitate
the progress OF the examination. 1t Is proba-
BILE that the Commission may be engaged in
it's work for the next six months. but they will
report progress as they go on. Mr.. Hamln

far enough to discover many gross irrog ulari-
ties and evasions In the execution OF the Gus
toms laws. which justify a complete reorgani-
zation Of the customs service in Now York,
