WASHINGTON, April 0.-Chief Haz, IN,
OF the secret service division OF the
Treasury, received telegram to day
from one OF his agents at Chicago, stat
ing that he had seized 800 worth of
counterfeit two-cent postage stamps.
They had been shipped from Buffalo
and were discovered in the Wells Fargo
Express Company's Office. The officials
have been on the alert for something OF
this kind since last January when they
learned Of man aking inquiry, under
suspicious circumstances, as to the pro-
cess of printing stamps, The officials
of the secret service are working OF the
case in connection with the postofflcs
inspection force.
The Chicago Tribune says: United
States secret service operatives in
Chicago and Washington have un.
earthed probably the most unique and
at the same time important swindle
ever perpetrated upon any government.
Its magnitude, after two days inves tiea.
ton, can only be guessed at, but it has
been discovered that thousands upon
thousands OF dollars have been secured
by gang OF expert counterfeitors who
have reproduced with wonderful skill
and accuracy the pink two cent stamp
of commerce.
Whether the counterfeiters have &C.
complies In dishonest postmasters is
not known. 1t ia thought the country
is flooded from New York to San Fran
cisco with these spurious stamps and
the United States has been carrying
millions OF letters from which not one
cent OF revenue was received. Last
evening Captain Stuart, of the postal inc,
spection department, and Captain Porter,
OF the United States secret service bu--
reau, called at the Wells Fargo office.
They were taken to the storeroom and
there found an oblong package, looking
like big roll of music. 1t contained
10000 OF the counterfeit stamps. The
stamps vera addressed to Nathan Her
zog, Chamber of Commerce, building.
"a week ago Sunday" said Mr.. Her
zog, 81 saw tho following advertise
ment: We have Sis in United States

here, and will send them by express G.

said would take ell the stamps thoy
could furnish me at that discount, and
requested them to send me tho mum Der
advertised" continued Mr.. Herz3g
Yesterday an express messenger
brought in the package. examined the
stamps, and the color and general sp-
pearauce led me to suppose that they
were counterfeit. 1 said SO to the mes
senger:
'lle replied that 1 need have no fear,
that he had delivered four similar pack
ages within an hour, and the people
had paid for them My suspicious were
confirmed, however, because the firm
had said that they could not furnish
moro than 5000 worth month. Icalled
up the officers. They got possession,
and found that they were counterfeits. {"
Secret service agents in Buffalo and
Canada have been wired the facts, and
postal authorities are expecting the
capture OF the culprits. The Canadian
Novelty and Supply Company is located,
at Hamilton, Ontario.
