BOSTON INVESTIGATION
ALMOST COMPLETED
Shaw Says There's Nothing Unusual
About Examination of Customs
Service at That Port.

Secretary Shaw has given out state
ment in regard to the investigation Of
the customs service now in progress at
Boston. lie says it is not unusual or
extraordinary, and is identical with the
examinations already completed at New
York. Philadelphia, and Baltimore
These examinations are IN accordance
with regulations promulgated by the
Hon. John Sherman in 1877. and which
have since been in force at all ports
THE examination at Boston has not
been called on, says the Secretary.
nor has anyone asked that il should
be called Off The work is welI-nign
completed. and will be finished as soon
as possible consistent with thorough
ness"
The report had gone out that. for po-
litical reasons. the investigation was
called off, and this prompted the state
ment Of the Secretary.

COMMISSIONER YERKES WINS
INTERNAL REVENUE CONTEST
Comptroller of the Treasury Awards
Him Large Amount Due on Stamps.

The sum of S62. 663-97 was involved in
an opinion handed down by the Comp
trOlIer of the Treasury yesterday morn
irg, in which there was g reversal Of a
finding of the Auditor of the Treasury
in favor of Commissioner J. w. Yeriz es
of the Bureau Of Internal RC5enue.
A short time ago the Auditor refused
TO allow an item Of the sum named in
Mr.. Yerkes' account for documentary
and proprietary internal revenue
stamps. The disallowance was for the
technical reason that no certi1cs te Of
the committee of the Treasury charged
with the destruction Of these stamps
had been filed with the Auditor.
The Comptroller holds there is ample
evidence that the stamps were destroyed
by the committee charged with their de-
structiOn. and that the Commissioner
should not be held responsible because
through no fault of his own the COM
mittee did not file a certificate showing
they had been destroyed.

AUTHORITIES POWERLESS
TO REMOVE THE ICE
Congress Allows No Money
for the Purpose.
CANNOT CLEAN THE STREETS
Parsimony in Appropriations Leaves
Washington Helpless in Winter as
a Country Village

1T would have taken a million dol
lars and a million men to have cleaned
the streets before yesterday" is the
epigrammatic response Of Warner Slut
Ter, Street Cleaning Commissioners. to
criticisms OF the condition OF the
thoroughfares Of Washington.
Failure to remove the snow and ice
has provoked much comment directed
at the Street Cleaning Department OF
the District of Columbia. Mr.. stutler
says he has no money. and that the ap-
preparation for street cleaning is not
available for the purpose
He contends that the. streets are now
as clean as the meager appropriation II
81. 900 will allow, and that until another
blizzard arrives. women may cross the
streets without soiling even the hem Of
their garments.
There is no law and no appropriation
for cleaning snow and ice of the
streets" said Mr. Stutler. although
we have an appropriation of $1,000 for
clearing the snow and ice off Of cross
walks and cutters.
Once in 1899.
The only time that Congress pro-
vided for cleaning the snow of the
streets was in 1899. at the time Of the
big blizzard, when the snow was bark
ed to such a depth about the streets
that traffic was stopped. Congress at
that time appropriated 10000 for clean
ing the streets.
Since then the Commissioners have
asked Congress 10 provide for cleaning
snow of the streets TO no avail. The
Treasury Department has ruled that the
appropriation Tor clearing crossings and
cutters cannot be used for cleaning the
streets proper.
Under ordinary conditions. that is. in
cases Of ordinary snowfall, there seems
to be no necessity for clearing tie en-
>ire street of snow. inasmuch as only
the crossings and sidewalks are as
rule used by pedestrians. and the
streets by vehicles. In cases of bliz-
yards. when the snow banks to con-
siderable depth on the streets, however.
so as to impede traffic. the snow should
be removed

In 1900 Chaffee was promoted to be

His work on the Island OF Samar is

suppressed the insurrection there and
captured the famous guerrilla chieftain
LulSban. He also got Malbar. in Luzon.
and these two captures had the effect in
bringing the active warfare to a close.
In 1901 he was appointed major gen

A NEW PRINCIPLE IN MEDICAL
SCIENCE.

For years it has been the practice of med.
heal men to treat patients suffering from piles
by local, external applications. These treat.
ments give but temporary relief, but have
never affected positive cure.
After months of research and study, ac-
eompanied by actual experience with various
patients, DR.. c. A. Perrin arrived at posi-.
tive conclusion as to the exact action of the
various parts of the bowel system, under
different conditions, and when subjected to
various prescriptions.
He finally prepared that wonderful inter-
nal remedy known as DR.. PERKINS, PILE
SPECIFIC, which is put up in bottles, retail
Ing at all reliable drug stores for S1.Oo each.
This internal remedy has been on the mar
ket for the past ten years. and in all of that
time there has been but three cases where a
positive cure has not been effected.
DR.. PERKINS, Pile Specific is sold under a
positive guarantee by the druggist making
the sale, to refund the full purchase price,
providing the remedy fails to cure. This is
the absolute proof of its merit. Any man
or woman who suffers from blind, bleeding,
itching orinternal piles can try this internal
remedy with the absolute certainty that it
will cost nothing unless it cures. Here is
what one sufferer says of this wonderful
remedy:
DR. C. A. Perrin, Helena, Mont.--I wish to thank
ypu for the cure your wonderful medicine has done for
me. had the piles some FIVE years, aud under the
advice of doctor had them removed by the knife aud
ie free for awhile but they returned and at once got
