1T CHARGES FRAUD.
Dry Goods Chronicle Tells Tale of I'm
dervaluations.

NEW YORK, April 14.-The Dry Goods
Chronicle makes, a serious charge of cor
ruption on a large scale in the revenue
service. The general charge is, first
that there exists in the appraisers Office
of New York combination of officials
acting in collision with importers to
defraud the government by undervalu-
ing imported merchandise, and second,
that the active instruments of corrup-
tion, namely, certain examiners in the
appraisers Office, are protected and sup
ported by higher officials. The third
charge is that the protection and sup
port is extended by the superior officials
to their sabordinates in the full knowl-
edge of their dishonesty and corruption.
In support of its three general charges
the Dry Goods Chronicle makes dozen
specific charges, accompanying them
with letters, figures and statements
The gist of these charges is that a
prominent silk importing firm, with the
connivance of certain customs officials,
has Systematically for number of years
profited by extensive undervaluations.

Last night City huh was the scene of the
first full rehearsal, while the first dress
rehearsal will occur this evening. The
awakening of the dawn ere the glorious
day is finally usheret3 in by Apollo, is
exquisitely symboliztsd by twenty-one
young misses between the ages of four
teen and sixteen, costunled in robes of
white and gold, while sureamers Of gold
connecting golden hoops which they hold
in their hands, flash and wave as the
dance proceeds. The graceful posturing
and pantomime that first distinguishes
the dance gradually develops into wild
and weird movements, concluding with
a striking picture. The ,sout ensemble is
particularly realistic and effective as the
feminine graees of the young misses is
especially marked.

many in fact having already found pur-
chasers. The work is in many cases
very elaborate, and the ladies who have
contributed the work should be, and
doubtless are, proud of it.
Miss Medora F. Atwood has a large

cles, cups and saucers, plaques, etc.
Two large and handsome plaques are
especially noticeable.
Mrs. Chas. L. Bailey has a dainty tea

about one and went up the river in plain
sight of the city, where she was enthu-

struck very lively clip and went
through the water like yacht. Her
engines developed no weakness OF de-
fects and her engineers were well salts
fed. While this was not trial for
speed, she averaged 121 knots with
nothing like a full head of steam. Ex-
