After an investigation of the circum-
stances that surround this case it is the
opinion of the collector and officials of
his office that the charge of fraudulent
intent cannot be sustained. Therefore
the goods are not subject to seizure,
and this being the only question pre-
sented in regard to the invoice the entry
will be liquidated in regular course
Invoice No. 1867, which was SUBJ
mitted with all the evidence to rhe Uni

prosecuting attorney in case the COL
lector made a seizure, was regarded by
the collector as one of the strongest
cases against the importers.

Breaks Tax Collection Record.
(By Associated Press.)

(By Associated Press.)
New York, Oct. S.-All records for the
collection of taxes in this city have been
broken. $l5,00o.OO0 being paid into the
city treasury the first day. This first
sum to be recorded was the tax on the
Vanderbilt estate. This was for $S1S,0O0
paid in five separate checks. Alfred
Gwynne Vanderbilt is individually re-
sponsible for most of this as the resid-
uary legatee of Cornelius Vanderbilt, and
is the largest taxpayer on the personal
assessment roll. From the Standard Oil
company a check for $3.50, 900 was recyiv-
ed: from the Gisey estate, $4,000 and
from II. S. Ely. $l75,00o. The aggregate
taxes of the Astor estate are nearly ST.
600, 900.

FALL RIVER COTTON MILLS
Proposed to Consolidate the Various
Mills Into One New Cor
poration.
(By Associated Press.)

E. 10y ASSOCldIeQ freSS.)
New York. Oct. S.-The Journal of
Commerce prints the following: A re-
port is current in cotton circles that a
large consolidation into new corpora
tton of Fall River print cloth mills is
about to be announced. The report has
taken the apparently specific form that
the combination will include virtually all
the mills except the Borden mills, and
contemplates. moreover, bleaching and
printing as part of the new company's
operations.
M. c. D. Borden, however, when asked
concerning the reported consolidation de-
clared that such an arrangement would
not be feasible, and when the matter of
operating printing plants in connection
with mills was brought to his attention
he said he then felt absolutely sure that
no basis whatever existed for the re-
port.
In local cotton goods circles the report
is believed to be founded upon the fact
that important stockholders in a num-
Der of mills have become financially and
actively identified with the Allen print
works Of Providence, r. I.
1t is expected the output of these mills
will be sent to the Allen print mills for
finishing, and in this way the allied in
terest will be placed in nearly the same
position as Mr.. Borden's mills.

to the east of new mining camp called
Deering, the Kewaulik river flows into

about twenty miles long and has many

removes the story entirely from the
calm of romance. Charles D. Lane, the
multi millionaire mining man. who con-
trolls the largest mining interests at

$40 900 bonus for his bond on the Blank

subject to approval, by Lane, about ten

AFGHAN MILITARY STRENGTH
Military Power Of Amer Greatly De-
veloped in Past Two De-
cades.
(By Associated Press.)

New York. Oct. s.-Commenting upon
the possible developments in Asia as a
result of the death Of the ameer of At
Ehanistan, the London correspondent Of
the Times says:
The fact that the military strength of
Afghanistan has SO greatly developed in
the last 20 years is not regarded as OF
itself a menace to the power of Great
Britain in the Orient. On the contrary.
it is regarded as encouraging, as enab-
ling the Afghans to repel invasion. 1t
is said that an army of 100000 Afghans
could be raised and armed in the latest
manner.
The element of possible danger lies in
the character of the new ameer, who
may lend an ear to the Russian tempter
and connive an invasion with an Interior
purpose. The possibilities have always
caused fears whenever the recent reports
of the ameer's failing health have
reached England.

for some time on like mission. As to
Great Britain losing her commercial SUI
premacy, Mr.. Fithian said:
1.-THE total Of British exports and i'm
ports during the past year is the great
est volume Of business ever transacted
by any country in the world and amounts
to nearly sSO,000.000 increase over the
preceding year, which is more even than
that of the United States whose pros
perity is the marvel of us all.
Il admit that so far as the United
Kingdom is concerned, the increase is
due mainly to imports, a large proper
ton of which is composed of food stuffs
This is the only thing that gives Great
Britain cause for anxiety. for each year
she is becoming more dependent upon
the foreigner for her food supply, but
her colonies are amply able to provide
her with provisions for her increasing
population for the increased cost only Of
transportation.

PROPOSED GERMAN CUSTOMS
Kaiser's Motive Is to Prevent the
Peasants From Leaving Their
Farms For the Towns.
(By Associated Press.)

(by Associated ffeSS.)
London, Oct. S.-The Vienna cOrre-
spondent of the Times sends the opinion
of Professor Suess, the eminent Austrian
authority on political economy and for
merly one of the liberal leaders in the
reichsrath, on the proposed German GUS
toms tariff.
e Professor Suess says he approves the
presumable motive of the German gov
,ernment-to keep the peasant on the land
and check the flow toward the towns.
He asserts however, that the tariff will
not benefit the peasant, but that the bulk
of the profit will go to the corn dealers
and landed proprietors. The tariff will
not nullify the positive attractions Of
town life, which bring countrymen to the
cities, and will not counteract the de-
mand for female servants, which is large
ly supplied from the country.
Professor Suess says that the only way
to check the exodus from the country
would be to radically reform the privi-
leges of the great land owners and break
up the large estates.

REPORT
CLIMATE INTENSELY COLD WITH
SEVERE BILLIARDS.
A MILITARY TELEGRAPH LINE
The Establishment of an Army Head
quarters in Alaska Adds Protection
and Security to Person and
Property.
(By Associated PresS.)


Washington Oct. S.-The war depart
ment has made public the annual re-
port of Brgader General Randall,
commanding the department Of Alaska.
General Randall lays much stress on
the rigors of an Alaskan winter. The
cold, he says, is intense and continues
so from November to April with severe
and frequent billiards.. There is no
dockage for ocean vessels at the sup
ply port, Fort ST. Michael and all sup
plies must be taken from ships in open
roadstead. If the weather is rough the
work of Tightening becomes impossible.
General Randall says that the most
important work in the department, after
providing for the housing and supply Of
troops. was that of constructing the
military telegraph line and military
road through Alaska. The total length
of line constructed up to August 18th
was about 400 miles. The work is being
pushed as fast as possible and by the
close of navigation this year 1T IS hoped
that Geographic communication be-
tween Fort ST. Michael and Fort Glib
bon, 420 miles distant, will have been
established. The construction of these
lines, General Randall says, is attended
with many difficulties peculiar to an
Arctic climate.
Owing to the isolation of army posts
and to the lack of facilities for instruc-
ton in drill and for conveniencing
court martial, General Randall says.
troops left to serve there for several
years must deteriorate in military efli-
cheney. He therefore recommends that
troops stationed in Alaska be removed
every two years, and that only men
with more than two years to serve be
ordered there.
In conclusion General Randall says:
THE location of department head
quarters in Alaska for the past year is
believed to have had a pronounced bene-
fetal effect toward the protection Of per-
son and property, and the establishment
of good order in the territory. This has
been accomplished without friction with
the civil authorities and in harmony, 1t
is thought, with the sentiment of all
law-abiding and self-respecting civil.

Lung" to be added to the gift of $780,

that an American university would be

Mr.. Shepard in accepting the nomination
said. among other things:
Il promise you and the democratic
rarity of this city and its entire peo-
pie, If my nomination be ratified at the
polls, that from the first Of January. 1907,
until the end Of 1908, the police commits
sion of the city of New York. if 1 shall

ly enforce the s; andard which the mayor
himself, upon his whole conscience and
in view of his own undoubted power and
responsibility, sets up for police admin
istration."
For himself, Mr.. Shepard said he be-
Geved that a competition for the mayor
ality between Seth Low and himself will
not, on the whole, be calamitous to any
real interest of the American metropolis
or it's people. Nevertheless. he thought
it clear that the best interest of the city
and of good government required Mr..
Lows defeat.
The evils and wrongs of administra-
ton have all been charged against the
democratic party, he said, notwithstand-
ing it had in large part been created by
republicans and a republican Legislature.
The democratic party. speaking for the
masses Of the people, has made it clear
to it's candidates beyond peradventure
that it proposes that the administration
of the city shall be efficient, honest and
incorrupttble, and that if evils exist they
shall be reformed.
In closing he said: II am democrat
through and through and therefore l
believe in personal liberty, not license for
crime or vice.
