COLOSSAL FRAUDS REPORTED
Retail Liquor Dealers Said to Have
Lost Millions BY Them.
Discovery Ii Made - the Result Of
Investigation Of Government
G0ugerS." .-.

Philadelphia, July 29.-Frauds which
it is claimed will result in loss Of mill
lions of dollars to retail liquor dealers in
Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Bos-
ton, Pittsburg. Buffalo, Cleveland, Gin
cinnati, St. Louis and other cities have
been unearthed as result Of investiga-
ton into the workings of the govern
ment gaugers by secret service men from
Washington. In every large city in the
country it is said saloon keepers have
been paying for thousands Of gallons Of
whisky they did not get.
Two years ago Philadelphia saloon
keeper. after emptying 4 barrel of
whisky. noticed that the government fig
ures stamped on the barrel marked it's
weight at 10 pounds When he weighed
the barrel he found It actually weighed
81 pounds. He realized that he had paid
for IL pounds Of whisky he had not re-
ceived-a gallon and half. He investi-
gated further, and found he had been
swindled out of several hundred gallons
of whisky in this way. He reported the
matter to Washington, and an investi-
cation resulted in astounding develop
ments. The inference Is drawn that the
gaugers and the rectifiers shared the
profits from the scheme. Regarding this
feature OF the matter, however, the off,
Gals here refuse to give any information.

Scenes Enacted.

Buda-Pesth, Hungary, July 3o.-Dep-
uty Zolmon Papp caused a sensation
in the lower house of the diet Wednes-

bribe to desert his fellow obstruction
lists and leave Buda-Pesth. Herr Papp.
who Is a member of the Kossuth par
ty, added that it was Former Deputy
Dienes who attempted to bride him.
There were stormy scenes when the
premier. Count Hedervary, rose to
commence the debate on the indemnity
bill. The obstructionists stood up
and the chamber resounded with deaf
ening shouts. the banging Of desk lids
and insults hurled at the premier
from the opposition benches. The
sitting was suspended, but tho scenes
were repeated on its resumption, and
ultimately, being unable to obtain a
hearing, the premier handed the clerk
of the house a written motion, NOV
ing the reading of the bill. When the
obstructionists became aware of this
action a couple of members of the
Kossuth party stormed the presiden-
tial tribune, snatched the paper from
the clerks hands, and tore it to
pieces. The tribune was soon filed
with shouting deputies and amidst
the tumuk the session was again sus-
pended.
1t is said that two duels have been ar
ranged between deputies as an outcome
