they are seeking escape to France the
French government will have them turn

During the day two deputy surveyors
were looking for the man whose position
with the French consulate made possible
the successful carrying on of the scheme.
They expect to find their man within a
short time.
They hope through him to learn where
market was found for the smuggled

The French consul general. Etienne NJ.
L. Lanel. was not at his Office, 10 Stone
street, yesterday. He has gone to Wash
ngton. but the reason for his going was
not told 1t is very probable that at
least one of the present employees of the
consulate will be subpoenaed. No one
will admit that this employe Is guilty of
wrong doing, but he is said to have said
some weeks ago to some one in the office
matter with the official mail.
The officials also wish to devise some
method by which consulate packages
outside the official mail sacks-may be
entered on the ships manifest or listed
SO that an account of them can be kept.
A recommendation of that character may
be made to the Secretary of the Treasury.
Assistant Secretary Reynolds said this
morning that the case had not yet been
reported to the Treasury Department in
Washington. He expects, however. to
hear from the customs officials at New
York.
If report is not deceived by tomorrow
morning he will call for one. Until an
Official report of the case comes from
New York no action will be taken by the
department.
The French embassy is also awaiting a
report from New York on the alleged
smuggling case. 1t was stated at the en-
bassy this afternoon that full information
as to the case had not been received.
Consul General Lanel Is not in WASH
ingtOn, but is expected in a few days.

Twice-Told Tale.

Artemus Ward called on friend the
night before one of his panorama lee
lures. There were Some three or four
large reaches scurrying about the room
and they attracted his attention.
II am very fond of reaches" he
said. "Once, in my own home. I found
a roach struggling in a bowl of water,
/ took a half walnut shell and put him
in it: it made good boat; I gave him
a couple of toothpicks for oars. Next
morning saw that he had fastened a
hair to one of the toothpicks, and had
evidently been fishing. Then. overcome
with exhaustion, he had fallen asleep.
The sight moved me. I took him out,
washed him, gave him spoonful of
boiled egg, and let him go. That roach
never forgot my kindness, and now my
home is full of reaches"
