A Smuggling scheme.

Passing through Hudson street with
friend, | CHANGED to pass the establish
ment of firm of folders and repack-
ers'' of dry goods. Before the door were
hundred or more little bales of goods,
bearing odd markings, but showing that
they We're destined for firm in Texas,
doing business in town near the Mex
lean line.
DO you know, asked my compan-
ion, why those goods are Put up in
such small packages"
Upon replying in the negative he con-
tinued: They are to be smuggled across
the Mexican line The goods are pur-
chased in their original packages and
delivered here. The wooden boxes are
discarded, and the goods subjected to
hydraulic pressure and haled. Each
bale contains about 30 pieces, or half the
number of an ordinary dry goods case
THE goods are then shipped to Tex
as, and all marks removed When all
is arranged, some night the little bales
are slung across the backs of mules,
two bales to each animal, and with an
armed escort the train proceeds over the
border to some distributing point in
Mexico where the goods are sold to Mex
lean traders at a good profit.
Smuggling in this manner is quite
extensively carried ON between this
country and Mexico, the United States
getting in return for its dry goods,
which are the most easily handled, cheap

The following bills are now before
Congress:
|. 4 bill to prohibit the collection OF
special liquor taxes from persons other
than those who are duly authorized by
State laws to traffic in Intoxicating
liquors; referred to the Committee on
Finance
,. 4 bill to prohibit the sale of int"X-
catug liquors at military posts and re-
scrvations and at national soldiers
homes; referred to the Committee on
Military Affairs.
3. A bill to regulate the importation
and sale of Intoxicating liquors in the
United States, introduced "by request,
and referred to the Committee on Ed
ueatlon and Labor.
During the extra session. senator Frye
of Maine. introduced bill to provide for
"A national Commission of Inquiry CON
corning the alcoholic liquor traffic; and
in the House, Hon. +. A. Morse, of
Massachusetts. bill to prohibit the
liquor traffic iu the District of Column
bia.
The subject of liquor traffic legislation
is thus formally before both branches OF
Congress. 1t ought not to be too much
to expect that some useful legislation
may be accomplished by this Congress
in the direction of abolition or repression
of the alcoholic liquor traffic for drink
ing purposes. But be this as it may,
agitation has commenced and will not
cease until this great national question
receives fair and candid treatment and OF
the final result we have no doubt.
1t nay not be in my day;
1t may not be in thy day;
But in His own good time
The right must surely win.

COLUMBUS, o., Sept. 23.--An ex-
tremely sensational story is told
by prominent labor leader rela-
tive to the recent visit of Gen.
Frye, the California Coxeyite, to
this city. 1t is that Of proposed
revolution to overthrow the gov
eminent of this country. The
story is vouched for by a member
of the Populist party who is not in
sympathy with the anarchistic
scheme. In substance the plan as
mapped out by Frye, who says
secret order for this purpose is be-
ing formed in all the large cities
and commercial centers,is to spring
the revolution at the next strike.
Frye became confidential with a
number of persons, one of whom
is loyal to the government of this
country. The gentleman stated
that he was identified with the
secret organization that is inter-
national and rapidly increasing in
numbers and whose plans are to
overthrow the government and
place the revolutionists in control.
1t is proposed when the next strike
is on and the military is preserving
order the revolutionary assembled
in Chicago are to issue proclama-
ton for the establishment Of rev.
dictionary government. tits hoped
by the boldness Of the movement
to draw the workingmen, hundreds
OF thousands of them who would
be loyal to the government, into
this revolutionary scheme during
the excitement and passions Of the
strike. Frye visited this city a
week ago and left, and is said to be
making a tour of the country on
his revolutionary mission.

THE MYSTERY SOLVED.
Returns After Four Years, and His
Fortune all Gone.

Returns After Four Years, and His
Fortune all Gone.
OMAHA, Neb., Sept. 24.-S. d..
White, former we'll known con-
tractor of Omaha, solved mystery
last night by returning to this city
after an absence of four years, dur
ing which he had been searched
for by detectives of this and other
cities. The case is most remark
able one. On July 80, 1890, White
packed small grip and told his
landlord he was going to drive to
Bellevue. He never returned to
his boarding house. When he dis
appeared he was known to have a
large sum of money on his person.
He had collected cash on several
big contracts and had at least
$1,000 in currency on the day he
started for his drive. This fact led
to all sorts of rumors. He had had
trouble at CORTLAND Beach on the
occasion of a visit there, with some
toughs and it was thought by some
Of his friends that he had met the
gang again and had been murdered.
The strongest argument against
this theory was the failure Of all
investigation and search to locate
Whites horse and buggy. He
drove a handsome blooded horse
with a fine buggy and no trace of
them could be obtained. Large
sums were spent by his relatives
in searching for him and he was
finally given up for dead.
Asked about his reasons for leay-
ing Omaha, his answer to queries
were as strange, although true, as
was his disappearance. White says
he had no idea whatever Of leaving
when he started on his drive. 1t
suddenly occurred to him to try
a unique experiment and drive
across the country to Washington.
This he did regardless of the fact
that his many big contracts in
Omaha were going to wreck in the
meantime. He lost by this means
100000. He says he went to WASH
ington and has just returned. His
immense fortune is now gone. He
is believed to be demented.
