SMUGGLING AT NEW YORK.
Former Special Agent Theobald Makes
Serious Charges.

That more smuggling is going on at
present through the New York custom
house, especially. In precious stones, than
ever before is the opinion of William H.
Theobald, former special agent of the
Treasury Department. To a New York
World reporter yesterday he made this
statement positively, and added that to
his personal knowledge four pearl neck
laces, none worth less than $4,000, have
been brought into this country within
the last few months without payment of
duty. Mr.. Theobald declares that these
necklaces are now being worn by promi-
nent women.
He made other serious accusations
against what, he declared were promi-
nent jewelry firms in this city, and said
that had he not been hampered by lack
OF funds while connected with the Treas
ury Department he might have made i'm
Dortant arrests.

when out of the arena by barking ferocious-
ly at the stray ours wandering about
Hugo" the French giant. was escorted
to the grounds by an immense crowd of
small boys, who were truly liliputians in
size when compared to the giant. At a
station about twenty miles out from Wash
ington Hugo, together with several other
members of the circus, stepped out of the
train for a stroll along the platform. While
he was wandering about the train pulled
out, and Hugo was unable to connect with
the coach. The train was stopped, how
ever, and the big fellow got aboard.
New Lighting Plant.
After the tents had been erected a hun
bred hnemen began putting up the poles
and wires for the lighting apparatus The
old-fashioned gasoline lamps have been rele-
gated to the past by this show, and in
their stead the "Nernst Glover Is used.
This light is an incandescent light, but it
does not use f1lament, nor Is 1t confined
In vacuum or globe. Instead Of a f1brous
filament it uses that which is termed a
glover" which consists Of a number of
tubes between which wires, electrically
charged, are strung, thus heating the tubes
to a white heat and causing a brilliant
glow. Two motor wagons belonging to the
circus supply the electricity for the lights
The seating arrangements for this show
are also somewhat Of an innovation. The
immense exhibition tent contains Ia, 800
seats, all of which are numbered
Another interesting feature Of the prelim
mary work yesterday was the arranging of
the animal cages in the Inenagerie. Old
Babe, the largest elephant in the herd, was
utilized in this work, and with her head
punched the heavy wagon cages about the
ground to their respective positions
When the erection Of the tents and the
arrangement of all the paraphernalia had
been completed there was hungry army
Of many hundred men who made a rush for
the mess tent.
This large amusement organization is car
ried about the country in eighty-six cars,
built expressly for the use of the show.
Including the people employed by the cir
Gus and the animals in 1t Of all descrtp-
tions $500 are fed each day by the combi-
nation. 1t is stated on authority that the
average daily expenses Of the circus amount
to over 5000, while the receipts average
about $4,000 every show day.

NAL of that kind born in captivity. The

and if an animal of such bulk could be
called risky this little fellow answered
the description. In the collection also Is

tivity This animal is twentysix years
old. and was born In Philadelphia.
The trained horses ranged In size from
an immense equine weighing 2,4SO pounds
down to Little Speck, who weighs 40
pounds. This midget of the horse world
was a source of delight to the children, who
were allowed to view the animal at short
range The trained dogs in the cages
showed that they are very natural dogs

whole operation like a veteran general. was
James A. Bailey, the head of the show.
Nothing seemed to escape his watchful
eyes as he wandered here and there about
the lot, putting necessarily on his cigar.
He is small, quiet man, with short
gray beard, and his orders were issued In
soft, quiet tones, seemingly. more appropri-
ate to an elegant banking room than to
big plot of ground for a. circus site.
One feature in particular noticed about
the operations yesterday was the splendid
organization of the whole affair. Each
man, from the head of the show down to
the poorest workman, seemed TO know just
what he was expected to do, and took hold
of his work without any loss of time.

PASSENGERS ALL SAVED.
Stranding of the Bark Vera Cruz at
Hatterag

a special to the Baltimore American from
Norfolk yesterday says: The Cape Hatteras
life-saving station reports tonight to the
United States weather bureau here that
500 passengers have been taken ashore
from the stranded Argentine bark Vera
Cruz. She is still ashore Off Currituck in
let. and unless the gale now prevailing de-
velops into a storm she is safe. Forty-four
of the female passengers and the crew are
still aboard. There is no suffering among
any of the shipwrecked company, as there
is an abundance of food at the station. The
revenue cutter sent in search Of the Vera
Cruz has not yet arrived of Cape Hatteras,
but when she comes she will find the OBJ
tect of her search in one foot OF water,
but unintured. The Vera Cruz is bound for
New Bedford. and her passengers are I'm
migrants. who will settle along the Massa-
chusetts coast, while some of them expect
to work abandoned farms.

Ora WORD COUNTY SYSTEM.

Mr. VIM. F. Porter, one OF the members
OF the Board OF Election Supervisors Of
Baltimore City, recently stated in an inter-
view that he regarded the primary election
law In Baltimore City as no longer an ex.
pertinent but a proved innovation, which
has come TO stay. He believed the law should
be modified SO as TO abolish the delegate sys.
TEN and that the direct method of balloting
for candidates should be provided. This is
on the line of the Crawford county system
which has been In vogue 10 Hartford county
for thirty years with the exception Of
short time when the party returned to the
old convention system. Years OF trial have
convinced every one that IL Ia the best and
most satisfactory method of making nomi.
nations.
Since the trial oil this system has proven so
satisfactory, the politicians OF both parties
in Baltimore county are agitsting the adop
ton OF similar method and II is said that
the suggestion meets with much favor. -
The greatest objection seems 10 be that the
thickly populated districts, near the City,
would most likely dominate the party and
the upper end of the county would proba
bly, receive but slight recognition. The
whole matter will be settled before long
and the committees are being approached
by persons on both sides Of the question -
