NEW YORK, April 19.-The dis
ton at the custom house has caused
the collector of the port, James G.
Kilbreth, much annoyance. The
amount of differentiation is said
to be 100000. The matter, briefly
stated, is that o. u. Sypher, the i'm
porter of antique furnitures, has
been importing goods at a greatly
undervalued rate. The matter was
brought to the notice of the customs
authorities through a discharged
employee of the firm, L. H. Todd.
A few years ago he was head
salesman of the firm known as o. L.
Sypher & Co. During that time
they had been importing antique

which is shillings pence an
ounce. These goods have been
passed in through the second divis-
ion. One year ago H. w. Hart, now
in charge Of the second division,
vice Cyrus A. Stevens, appeared
and stated that in the invoices of
Sypher & Co. the goods were
WORTH TEN TIMES MORE
than the valuation. The case has
been under investigation by Special
Deputy Dudley Phelps, who said
tonight: Three years ago, when
Sypher & Co. suspended, special
agents suspected that they had been
engaged in illegal practices, but they
carried away and secreted all docu-
ments in cellar in Mount Vernon.
The customs authorities Investigate
ed into the matter, but 1t was never
completed, and the officials were
very much annoyed"
Col. Phelps thinks efforts have
been made to stop the investigation.
Inc official upon whom opprobrium
is cast is said to be Eugene Honey

fusion with the firm. He has been
IN the department for fifteen years.

control absolutely nothing. The causes

tend to give complete description of
the conflict around Chattanooga, but
to present some phases of it. He des-

coming of Grant and it's effect uponfhe

first met Grant, having expecteds to-
find a large man. And" said he, lots
of people have been surprised in the

feet tall and about ninety years OF
age, and it quite overcame them to
see a young man turn up" He related
a number of interesting anecdotes5 il7i
Illustrative of Grants character, and
described the meeting of Hooker and
Grant with great power. He described
how Grants coming wrought a. conn.,
plete change in the half-starved, dis
orderly troops at Chattanooga, whoin
a short time were well-fed, determined
and victorious soldiers. He said that
then he formed high estimate Of
Gen. Grant, and years of experience
never lessened that esteem. His de-
scription of the counsel of war be-
tween Sherman, Grant and Thomas
was very interesting, as giving little
side glimpses into the individuality of
each of the men. Thomas he likened
to the dignified and confident judge;
Sherman was the brilliant advocate,
while Grant was the intelligent and
earnest jury.

FOR MANsLAUGHTER
Trial of E<IeinachMidt for Taking
Max Peigert's Life Begun.

stabbed Max Peigert at a birthday
party on the night of Mach 9, was
placed en- trial yesterday in the crimi-
nal branch of the district court, on "a
charge of manslaughter in the first
degree.
Nearly the entire morning was spent
in securing a jury. When the jury
had been impanelled, Attorney Morris,
for Kleinschmidt, asked that all wit

excluded from the court room after
giving their testimony. The request
was granted.
The first witness was Gus Gall, the

the stabbing was done. He testified
to the proVocation, alleging that pei

trouble growing out of the purchase

Victor McClanahan, house physician
at the city hospital, told of the nature
of the wound, and testified that Pei
CERT came to his death through blood
poisoning, caused by the wound. On
crosS-eXmaination he admitted that
blood poisoning might originate in
several causes. c. j. Dingnell, deputy
coroner, related practically the same
facts as brought out by the postmor-
tenn over the body of Peigert.
Arnold RetZloff, who was with Pei
CERT and Kleinschmidt, with a dialect
that would make a Dutch comedian
envicus, told the whole story of the
night, the threat of Peigert to shoot
and his chase after a revolver. When
Peigert had secured the weapon Ret
zloff said he knocked him down and
took it away from him. He. started
for home and Kleinschmidt went back
