VERY NATURAL RESULT.
Extensive Smuggling the Result o
Our RarbarOus Tariff ON Medicines


For some months the firm of Schoeffelin
& Co., wholesale druggists at Beekman
and William streets, New York, has been
wondering how such large quantities of
foreign drugs were being sold in this
country at remarkable low, prices. An
investigation revealed the fact that the
goods were smuggled. AS there was no
duty paid on them, they could be profit
ably sold at much lower prices than le-
gally imported goods, and the wholesale
druggists found that they could not COM
pete One of the drugs which the SNUG
glers dealt in exclusively was pnenace-
tine which is manufactured in Germany.
Schoefelin & CO. are the sole agents for
the manufacturers of phenacetine in the
United States. They reported the SNUG
Cling to the Federal authorities, and a
number of arrests followed.
Last night Secret Service Inspectors
George Scully and Frank Finley learned
that August Liebhauser, a saioonkeeper,
at No. 133 Washington street, Hoboken,
had received some of the medicine, and
on making a search of his saloon they
found $400 worth in the ice box.
Liebhauser denied all knowledge that
the property was smuggled. He said that
a man whose name he did not know had
left the medicine in his charge. He was
arraigned before United States Commits
sioner Russ this morning and held in $500
bail for examination next Monday.
The Secret Service men believe that the
smuggling is being done by sailors on the
German steamship lines

DUKE AND DUCHESS COMMITTED

miss the Complaint.
TBy Cable to The Associated Press

[By Cable to The Associated Press.1
Z LONDON, Sept IA, 1397.-There were
many Americans present in the Maryle-
bone Police Court this morning when Mr..
and Mrs. Edgar Serge de Mel, otherwise
known as the Duke and Duchess of Rio
Grande," the female prisoner being an
American and claiming relationship to ex-
Senator Conger of Michigan, were brought
up on remand charged with defrauding
hotels and boarding houses. The Duke"
claims to be a Brazilian nobleman; but
the Brazilian Minister here says there is
no such title as Duke of Rio Grande."
The two prisoners had friends in court
today and contributed to pay the bills
they had incurred, expecting the prosecu-
tion would be stopped and counsel for the
prisoners announced he was ready to pay
the claims against his clients, adding that
there was no evidence of criminal intent,
and that, therefore, he asked that the pro-
ceedings be discontinued. The magis-
trate, however, remarked
This is a very serious case and cam
ance of the prisoners is against them and
there seems to have been a systematic
scheme for robbery"
Both prisoners were then formally COM
mitted for trial and were subsequently
released on bail furnished by the friends
they had in court.
A despatch from MorristoWn, Pa, on
September 8, said that the Duke and
Duchess of Rio Grande" were believed
to be two persons who arrived at Nor
ristown from Philadelphia on August 26,
1896, and were married before Justice of
the Peace Lenhardt. The marriage GER
tificate gave the bridegroom's name as
Serge de Mel residence, Nice, France;
age, 80 years, and occupation, Command
er in the Brazilian Navy.
The brides name was given as Miss
Clarise Conger; age, % years; residence,
Philadelphia, and her parents names
were given as Priny Fisk and Maria de
CoSse Conger.

The Mad Ex-Empress of Mexico Near
the End of Her Woea.

By Cable to The Associated PressI
BRUSSELS, Sept. IA, 1S97.-Carlotta, ex-
Empress of Mexico is so dangerously ill
that her death is feared at any moment.
Marie Carlotta August Victoire Clemen-
tine Leopoltine, former Empress of
Mexico and daughter of Leopold /, King
of the Belgians, was born June 7, 1S4O,
and was married July 27, 1857, to the ill
fated Macmillan, afterwards Emperor
of Mexico, who was tried and shot on
June 49, 1867.
Macmillan, in the midst of his troubles
in 1866, sent the Empress to Paris with
instructions to ask Napoleon III for more
effectual aid, but she failed entirely in
her mission and proceeded to Italy, where
her reason gave way in consequence of
the. troubles she had already undergone,
and in view of those which she foresaw
for her husband. The unfortunate woman
was eventually removed to the Palace of
Laeken, near Brussels, and, according to
report during her lucid intervals she has
since employed her time in writing
memories of the history of the Mexican
Empire. 80

ARMOR FACTORY IN THE SOUTH
Large Delegation Visits the Govern
ment Com mi fssfOIa.

WASHINGTON, Sept. IA, 1S97.-A dele
cation of representative men from the
large iron sections of the South today
went before the Naval Board which is
considering the question of establishing a
Government armor factory, and urged
that the South offered the greatest ad-
vantages, in cost of iron, labor, transpor-
tation ETC., for the location of the pro-
posed Government armor plate factory.
The delegation was made up of Commits
sioner of Pensions H. Clay Evans of
Tennessee and Representative Wheeler of
Alabama, Livingston and Gaines of Ten
nessee. 1t was stated at the hearing that.
the iron used by the large private con-
Germs now making armor plate was
bought to large extent from the South
at the low price of s5.4O to $50 per ton. 1t
was argued also that an inland armory
factory in the South would be more Sc
cure from attack in case of war than one
near the Atlantic coast IN the North.
Letters favorable to the Southern in
dustry were presented from Senators
Platt of New York and Stewart OF Ne
vada, and it was stated that Senator
Chandler of New Hampshire, who has
taken a leading part in the plan of a
Government factory, had written letter
favorable to it's establishment at Shelf
field. Ala. The delegation filed a written
statement setting forth the many ad-
vantages of the South in this particular
Commodore Howell. president of the
board, called attention to the fact that
the board could not, under the instruc-
tions of the Navy Department go into
the question of the locality of the site.
Representative Livingston and others
made the point that such information
was what Congress desired and that the
scope of the boards orders Should be en-
larged. Accordingly the delega ton, ac-
companied by Commodore Howell, went
before Assistant Secretary Roosevelt. He
heard the views of the delegation, but
told them that it would be impossible to
consider questions of site at this time or
until the character of the plant and it's
cost had been determined.

MONTREAL MYSTERY SOLVED.
Young Woman Suicide Supposed to
BE Wife of Kidnapper Warner.

SCHENECTADY, N. Y, Sept IA, 1887
It is believed here that the young woman,
who committed suicide at the Cadillac
Hotel in Montreal, is the wife of Albert
b. Warner the New York lawyer, who is
implicated in the Conway kidnapping
case. The dead woman registered in
Montreal as Miss M. Warner, of New
York, and on her collars and cuffs were
the initials M. G. W., while on sheet
of paper near the top was written the
word Schenectady" Mr.. Warmers $
initials are NJ. W.. and she always
used the middle initial which stood for
Green, her maiden name.
The description of the dead woman very
much resembles Mrs Warner, and there
are many points in the case which lead
to the belief that the Montreal mystery
has resolved itself into sequel to the
Conway case. Mrs. Warner was IN
Schenectady on August 26 and at that
time was wearing light grayish- blue
dress such as the dead girl is said to
have worn.

NOT A VERY BLUE BOOK.
Colonial Governors Report English
Goods Supreme tn Foreign Markets.

By Cable to The Associated Press.
LONDON, Sept. IA, 1S97.-A Bluebook
has been issued giving the replies of the
Colonial Governors to the despatch of
the Secretary of State for the Colonies,
Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain, in 1895, sent
with the view of ascertaining the extent
of the displacement of British goods by
foreign goods. The main conclusions ar
rived at are that the .5seish manufac-
turer is still supreaIe in the best classes
of goods, with the exception of machin-
cry and tools of certain patterns, in sup
plying which the United States is most
successful, although Canada is often a
successful competitor in these lines.
Foreign competition, it appears, is most
noticeable in cheap limitations of British
goods, which are more suitable for the
greater portion of the Colonial market
and threaten to supplant the better class
of trade.
