The Cuban Customs scandal.

Sometimes it is not the unexpected that
happens. The country has been waiting
for days in confident expectation Of hear
ing that the Cuban customs service had
been discovered to be as rotten as that Of
the posts. Aside from ugly rumors which
have been heard for N onths. the public
has assumed that if TIE yostal officials
would take the desperate chances involved
in strsightout stealing from the Cuban rev.
enues their colleagues in the custom
houses could hardly fail 10 embrace oppOr-
tunities much more golden and vastly less
likely to get them in trouble.
II is now believed that the whole GUS
toms service Of the island is honeyoombed
with bribery corruption, fraud, and false
accounting. and that the most profitable
business in Cuba today is connected with
a Wholesale smuggling enterprise carried
On by certain favored Americans in cOllu-
sion with official pets Of the Administra-
ton Particulars are licking as yet but
one only needs 10 interview Intelligent
travellers returning from Havana to learn
what the commercial men of that city think
on the subject. We are informed that Mr.
Mckinley has been directly warned by an
inspector who has recently visited the Gus
tom houses in the principal Cuban ports,
that ne may expect startling revelations,
and would do well to be prepared for them.
This cheerful prospect renders it only
the more important that there should be
a thorough Congressional investigation OF
the whole insular government. IN all Of its
departments. and from top to bottom. 9th
erwise il would be foolish to suppose that
the Administration would ever let the
truth come to light Frauds on the Gus
tens are much more easily covered up
than other sorts. They do not make any
showing for themselves where books are
kept with shrewd care. Indeed they are of
a kind often winked at in the cases Of men
who are good party contributors. and are
regarded rather as a matter OF course.

though rarely it does. very big game is
sometimes caught. or. If not its tracks can

with Accidents.
In the Mctter OF testing firearms in Liege
United States Consul Winslow writes the
State Department as follows.
The Government testing OF all firearms
manufactured IN Belgium is Of more i'm
pOrtanee than is generally recognized at
rrst thought. for il does away almost en-
tirely with accidents caused by the burst
ing Of guns in the hands OF sportsmen and
prevents the manufacturers imposing dan
gerous and worthless guns on the public.
The test Of the cheap double-barreI breeeh-
-oading shotgun manufactured in Belgium
and sold in the United States at from $40
10 81 IS Just as thorough and complete as
the one that sells for $50. and the same Is
;rue Of ali the guns made in this country.
'Liege being the leading firearms manu-
featuring city Of the world. it has the most
extensive as well as the most complete
proving station The Government has pro-
vi6ed very strict rules and regulations to

guns having more than one test have the
barrels tested before they are fastened to

usual charge Of powder is used. and that
OF an extra fine quality. which Is carefully
tested three times each week; and one
third more shot is used than ordinarily
The loss by testing varies from I 10 5
per cent. the largest percentage OF loss
is in the higheT -rioed and lighter guns
The same quality Of steel is used for all
barrels. but the difference comes in the
workmanship and weight.
The cost Of testing is paid by the man
ufacjurer, and is 1913 cents for the three
tests.
ITO give an idea Of the growth OF the
firearms industry in Liege, | note the to-
tai number of tests made at the proving
station for the past three years: In 1897.
there were LIZ. SEQ; in 1888. 1855. 70S. and
in 1899. 2.22S.32 showing in two years Al
increase Of 525. 526 tests.

few Of the gun barrels bursted at the test
ing station. showing that they burst at diff
ferent points along the barrel: but l am
informed that IL is most common near the
Oreech- Some Of the barrels are badly de-
moralized. while others are only slightly
damaged"
