amount was arrived at by the govern

ing the book values OF the Arm with
inyoiced values sworn to on ardcles
entered at the New York custom
house. The amount claimed does not
represent the value of the imports, but
the actual amount out Of which 1t is
alleged the wealthy Englishmen have
swindled this government in tariff
duties.
Careful comparisons have been made
with the consular invoices filed by the
noted firm with the customs authorities
over a period Of years and the private
invoices kept in the company's books.
At the time of the raid and seizure of
the store all of the books and other
records OF the company were taken by
the government authorities, who since
then have been working on the COM
PARSONS. They declare that the frauds
they have discovered exceed those of
any of similar character ever perpe-
trated.

Duveens both in the civil and criminal
actions pending against them, has in

been provided for in Mrs. Eddy's will,
as they were favorites of the great

ending the strike, which has been on

The future of the strike is uncer-

representatives of the employers as

CAPTURE FIVE UNIoNIsT SEATS

Hope Of Changing Complexion of Gov
eminent Has Become a Forlorn
One to the Opposition.

London, Dec. THE third days poll
ing has convinced even the most conf

up. Sunderland went Liberal as an
ticipated, transferring two seats from
the opposition to the ministerialists.
The Liberals captured five Union
seats, Whitehaven, Coventry West,
Southwark, Burnley and Woolwich.
Against these decisive victories the
Unionists have won only one seat, that

seats, wipes out the IL Liberal losses.
leaving the government with a net gain
Of one seat. AS they went to the coun-
try with a majority Of 1874, this net
gain Of one, counting two on division,
marks the beginning of the advance to
majority Of $50 anticipated by the
Liberal whips, and possibly to the ITS
lugubriously predicted by the Unionist
whips.
The voting has been remarkably
steady. With the exception of Bir-
mingham, where the U.ionist plurality
went down by 1900, Liverpool, Pres
ton, Nottingham and all the industrial
towns, with population of over 10O,-
900, have recorded majolities for the
Liberals. AS TAR as the boroughs of
London are concerned, the result of
the election is lorcgpne conclusion,
although there are still many boroughs
to vote.
1t is expected that ths Liberals WI
win many OF the county seas which
they lost in January.
