COMPLAINS OF CUSTOMS MEN.
Collector kiIbreth Insists on Courte 10
Trentment Even of SmugGlers.


Collector Kilbreth began yesterday an investi-
CATION of interest 10 Custom House inspectors.
Surveyor Mcguire and Deputy surveyor Daniel
J. bowling. representatives OF the Appraisers
stores. and Of the Collectors Two deputy COL
lectors on the docks. were present.
Nearly two months ago Surveyor Mcclure
shifted the staff officers and the customs i'll
spectors on the docks for the purpose OF assign
ing new men TO meet the spring influx OF dress
makers. The Collector has been showered for
the last month with complaints against the in.
spectors, charging them with imper.inence and
profanity, and in several cases it has been al
legged that the inspectors have accepted brbes
The Collector determined to look into these
complaints and also into the conduct of Deputy
Surveyor bowling in practically arrOghting TO
himself functions which belong to Deputy COL
lector Miller and Deputy Collector Cooley, tie
Collectors representatives on the wharvos.

The Collector said
at is unnecessary to have any friction and It
ia also unnecessary to act in an offensive man
ner to incoming passengers. All the inspectors
should be courteous. Their duties are dellcate
enough on many occasions. but my idea is that
passengers should not lie subjected to unncces-
sary d,scomforts in tn" examination Of their
baggage or in their personal treatment"
To this the surveyor assented. Within the
last few days three women have called on tho
Collector and said that they had been harshly
treated by the customs inspectors. The trunks
OF Mrs. Jack son. who arrived on the Manitoba
from London. and those OF Miss O'Ncil and
Miss ID. Gladstone, who arrived on the MajcS-

VIOLET FAME.
The Well Known Lady Currie Uses Her
Influence with the Sultan of Turkey.

The Well Known Lady Currie Uses Her
Influence with the Sultan Of Turkey.
Lady ,Currie, better known by her pen
name Of Violet Fame, has quickly made
her mark as British embassadress at Con
stantinople, and, from all hear, there has
noyer. since the accession of the present
sultan, been foreign lady who stood so
high in the good graCes Of his Ottoman
majesty, who loses no occasion of paying
her marked attention. Her influence at
his court she used In very afIicacious
manner tho other day.
A DR.. Pachayan, an Armenian Chris
tian, had been convicted Of some trcasona-
bic practice or other at Constantinople and
been sentenced TO death A few days prior
to tho date fixed for the execution of the
sentence his flancce called upon Lady Cur
rio threw herself at the ombassadress'
knees and made passionate appeal to her
exrcllency to help her to secure commu-
tation of the doctors sentence. Violet
Fame, who is the most warm hearted
woman imaginable, as may be gathered
from the pretty poems that she has pub
lished from time to time was much
moved and promised to do what she could
at the Yildlzkiosk,
1t happened that the next day was Fri
day, the day Of the Salamlik-that is, tho
ceremony of the sultan's going to prayers
and on his return from the mosque see
ing Lady Curric and her husband near the
entrance of the palace he invited them to
take refreshments with him in one Of the
pavilions Of the gardens. Lady Curric
awaited herself of the opportunity to appeal
to the clcmcncy of the sultan in behalf of
the condemned man. On learning that she
was interested in his fate, no informed her
that hor request would DO granted, and n
few hours aftcrward one of his aids de-
camp carried to tho embassy not merely
a communication of the death sentence,
which was all that she had vcntured to ask
for but free pardon for the doctor.
Since then the Armenian population at
Constantlnoplo swears by Lady Curric,
who has become in the eyes of the people
one of the most important personages Of
the empire, since it was altogether unprec-
edcntcd that u commander Of the faithful
should thus publicly yield to tho charms
of foreign woman-nyc, and Of grand
mother mt that, rs Lady Currio has several
children by her first marriage to Mr.. SIN

FIGHT WITH WHALES
CAPTAIN MlTCHELL's STORY OF PERIL
FROM THE HUGE ANIMALS.

The Monsters Tried to swamp His Tug
by Blowing Volumes of Water Aboard.
Old Salts Think Some Great Disaster Is
Presaged.
Captain Mitchell Of the steamer tug
Thomas J. Smith, which arrived at Phila-
delphia recently from sea, having in tow
the bone laden Italian bark Orch, from
Buonos Ayrcs, which she picked up to the
southwark of Fenwick's island, reports
having been attacked by tremendous
school Of whales Mt II o'clock one morning
while cruising 30 miles southeast of Cape
Hcnlopcn. The whales surrounded the
tug for period Of four hours, blowing
large streams Of water 90 the air, which
completely shut out ali view Of the sur
roundings.
1t was peculiar experience, and Cap
tain Mitchell says that in 30 years service
at sea on tugs he never before saw such
large whales, nor were they ever known to
congrcgate in such numbers 50 close to the
land
In speaking of tho experience on the
floors of the Maritime Exchange the
weather beaten skipper had soon drawn
1t was generally agreed that it was the fore
runner Of some grave marine disaster to
see whales in such numbers along the
coast.
1t was serious time on board the frail
tug, and all hands were badly scared, as
these monsters seemed Infatuated and
dashed in and along the sides Of the boat
with grcnt force Captain Mitchell ran

tempted to get clear Of the school, but tho
huge marine animals followed the tug, al
most swapping her with the immense vol
umcs Of water they threw on board.
Finding that any attempt to get away
from them was futile, Captain Mitchell
loaded up large horse 9,istol he had on
board and begun firing into them, but the
bullets took no effect. One monster no
put six shots into, hut 1t only infuriat-d
the animal still more. 1t was about 8
o'clock in tho afternoon when the leader Of
the school headed oiIshore, and soon the
whole number followed in that direction
and disappeared
