They gave some very good entertain ments during their stay and made a good many friends. Two of their attractions were the two silver sets. The first one awarded was for the prettiest baby. Estella Odell had the most votes, 1SO, and carried off the prizs; Helen M. Smith second with 40 votes. In the guessing contest there was good deal of contest. It was for beautiful case of s,lverware containing 24 pieces. A bottle of beans was the subject for the guessing. Mrs c. L. Slade carried of this beautiful present guessing the exact number, 933.

Big Scheme to De-
fraud the American
Customs.
Smuggling of Wooli on a
Large Scale.

The Treasury agents in Boston
think they have unearthed big
scheme to defraud the customs au-
thorities. The facts have become
known through the seizure by Bum,
a special employe, Of one hundred
sacks Of wool, valued at $4,000.
The seiaed wool was gathered up
in this city, in Lawrence, Mass,
and in Bristol, r 1. The special
agents say that as near as they can
estimate, fully $4,000 worth of
wool has been smuggled into the
country through the port of Boston
during the last year. This wool is
of Canadian origin, and, as the tariff
on wool rhAs from twelve cents to
thirty si1 cents per pound, a great
saving is made by evading the Gus.
toms duties.
The wool will be turned over to
Collector Lyman and in due time
will be sold to satisfy the claim of
the United States. Bum, who is
stationed at Eastport, Me-, learned
some months ago that large quanti-
ties of wool were benin shipped from
the provinces via st. John to Grand
Manan Island, off the EastpOrt coast.
Grand Manan is British posses
sions. There are no wOollen indus
tries on the island, and it appeared
to Bum little peculiar. he made
many trips to the island and kept
his eyes open.
he saw the large sacks OF wool
placed in British steamships and
determined to follow the steamers.
He found THAT these ships we're met at
sea by United States schooners, and
that the wool was transferred to the
latter vessels, which brought it to
United States shores. After the
wool was put ashore on the Maine
coast it was taken to a arailroad station
between midnight aud daylight and
loaded, and tlen sent over the ra-
ilEay to different New England points.

taken possession
of by the United
States.

Pago Pago Harbor, on the island
of Tutuila, on April IL last witnes.
sed the formal raising of the Stars
and Stripes over the Samoan pos
sessions recently acquired by the
United States. Commander Tilley,
of the collier Abarenda, stationed in
Pago Pago Harbor, presided over
the ceremonies as naval governor of
Turtuila, Mauna and Anu.
The German cruiser Cormoran,
stationed at Apia, reached Pago
Pago the day before the ceremonies.
At one O'Clock miscellaneous crowd
of white and native folk lined the
beach. On a small hill rising behind
the ground allotted tor the coatling
station and dock was the flagstaff,
with background of tropical vege-
tation. This space was occupied by
a marine guard and detachment Of
bluejackets from the Abarenda, the
missionary societies, German and
American naval officers, and the
principal chiefs of the islands. The
great crowd of natives was grouped
around the base of the hill.
Governor Tilley opened the cere-
monies with the proclamation from
the President regarding fine treaty
between the three Powers as to the
partition of the Samoan Islands and
the notice of his appointment to the
Governorship, Songs, prayers and a
speech by Mr.. Osborn, American
Consul General at Apia, followed.
Mrs. Hudson, wife of the naval Off
Ger in charge of the coaling station,
then raised the flag. When Old
Glory reached the top of the staff
a salute of twenty-one guns was fir
ed by both the COrmoran and the
Abarenda. This closed the main
ceremony.
The afternoon was devoted to spe
eches made by chiefs representing
natives villages, expressing their
good will and peaceable intentions
toward the American government,
which were replied to by Governor
Tilley.

Discomfort Over Ta-
xatiOn In Spain.
Barcelona Centre OF Trouble.

kL1ast autumn the movement OF
snllen protest against government
taration, now manifest at Madrid
and in the great provincial tos0ns
generally, had its beginning at Bar
eelOna. By rigorous repressive mea-
sures the government reduced the
most important commercial city OF
Spain to quietude. Military law
oFerrode constitutional rights and a
batch Of Barcelona's most respected
and influential citizens were confined
IN prison. Many shops were shut
BY the military governor, as theiI
swners refused to pay the govern
ment taxes, and business was cnti
rely suspended by large numbers o.
merchants and stOrekeepeTs by way
Of expressing sympathy with th'
sufferers.
Though Barcelona and Catalonia

in the provinces to protest energeti-
cally against the adoption of any
budget which had not been preceded
by the reorganization of the civil and
military services.
These aims correspond closely With
the petition presented to the govern
ment by the commercial chiefs of
Catalonia after the completion of
peace with the United States. They
urged radical revision of the natio-
nal finances, and Senor Silvela's
government met the demand for
economies in administration and a
readjustment of taxation by hall
promise Of reform. The proposals,
however, Of Senor Villaverde were

gems who refuse to pay any taxes till
