The greatly increased revenue resulting from the activity of customs officials is causing a rapid di minution of the United States Treasury deficit. The increasing profits of the Custom House, however, are iri no way attributable to the new Tariff Law, but wholly and solely to the sudden access of zeal visible on the part of customs officials. Mr. William Loeb, junior, formerly Mr. Roosevelt’s private secre tary, upon his appointment as Harbour Collector lost no time in announcing that under his regime smuggling would become impossible, and that the regulations relating to the searching of suspected people would be guided by no respect of persons. He reckoned that every year immense sums were lost to the Treasury owing to the free entry of dutiable articles brought back from Europe by' re turning Ameiican tourists. Formerly many return ing tourists, people of social or political influence, escaped a searching examination by a word in the right quarter, and were permitted to leave the pier after a perfunctory investigation; and unless there was definite cause for suspicion, the bare w r ord of returning travellers that they had nothing dutiable w'as accepted by the officials. But Mr. Loeb and his myrmidons have changed all that. Witli the eves of an Argus every passenger landing at New York is closely scrutinised; their trunks and most cherished belongings are subjected to a minute search, and every dutiable article which had not been declared is confiscated without mercy. Nothing escapes the collector. Every official has received detailed instructions from headquarters to do his duty without fear or favour, and the work of the subordinates is in turn supervised by higher officers. This sharp procedure has already inflicted much suffering on leading members of American society, who, unaware of the new' stringency, neglected to fill out their declarations in a manner satisfactory to the Customs. The watchfulness of the officials does not cease even when baggage has been thorough ly examined and passed with the release stamp. Frequently passengers are handed over for personal search when their traps have already left the pier, and anything discovered in the pockets of a duti able nature is confiscated. This tyrannical behaviour of the officials is ascrib ed to the following announcement made bv Mr. Loeb: “We shall not hesitate to strip a passenger to the skin if we consider it necessary for the maintenance of the Customs regulations. The Go vernment has the right to search every person ar riving here if they arouse our suspicion.” A w'ell- known leader of New* York society had to under go the humiliation of a personal search last week, because several articles of jewellery had been found in 1m hand-bag. Many wealthy ladies now arrive clothed in costly furs, despite the intense heat. They were told in France, where the goods were purchased, that the furs would be allowed into America duty-free providing they were worn at dis embarkation. But, alas! for shattered hopes. The Customs pounce upon the furs and charge double duty for every piece not declared. Quite recently a judge of the Supreme Court landed here on his return from Europe, but even his position did not deter a Customs officer from opening and examin ing his private suitcase. Mr. Loeb states that within three weeks there have been no fewer than 250 cases where passengers endeavoured to smuggle in dutiable articles. One man was found to have the lining of his coat stuffed with fourteen small boxes, which contained jewellery and meerschaum pipes. Mr. Loeb’s energy has no limits. He has. just made an order that members of the bands on Ger man liners arriving at Hoboken must no longer go ashore to delight the people with their music. That is to say, the men themselves may go ashore, but they must leave their instruments behind. This order, which deprives the Jerseyites of many a musical treat, is based on the fact that more than once the capacious w'ind instruments have been found to contain dutiable articles. All the above happenings are occupying the close attention of the local press, which unanimously condemns in strongest language the arbitrary exercise of his powers by Mr. Loeb. The New York Custom House regulations, it is de clared, would be considered tyrannical even in Russia. And this is the land of the free! Miy&rlDr/nlsc * Port " Cherry Cobter - / IIA CU LSf ////Q.

According to a correspondent of the Gil Bias, who is stated to be in a position to be well informed, the British Minister at Athens offered King George of Greece, on the occasion of the recent mutiny of Greek officers, refuge for himself and the Royal Family with the British squadron, which lay at anchor, seven battleships in number, in Phalerou Bay. The British Minister states, the correspondent added, that he would have men landed from the squadron to restore order. The King refused the double proposal, saying he would rather abdicate than keep the throne by force of foreign arms. Over 200 pilgrims left London on Tuesday for Lourdes. They travelled by the 10 a.m. train from Charing-cross, special carriages being reserved for them, and were to reach Lourdes the following even ing. Nearly every part of the United Kingdom was represented in the pilgrimage; while one or two co lonials were also in the party. The leader of the pilgrimage was Dr. Brindle, Roman Catholic Bishop of Nottingham. The Paris Journal’s correspondent at Tangier says: “The capture of the Pretender is said to be a pure myth, and merely a farce got up by Muley Hafid with the help of El Bagdadi, for the benefit of his subjects. The man who was put into a cage for the rest of his natural life is stated not to have been identified as the Pretender. Persons who have ar rived at Tangier from Fez even assert that Muley Hafid is conniving with the Pretender, who has ad vanced him considerable sums of money.” An official statement issued this week shows that during the year ended June 30, 1909, the gross earning of the railways of the United States amount ed to 2,437,385,84T dollars. The net income shows an increase of 90,718,317 dollars, as compared with the previous twelve months. Tb havoc in Spain wrought by the great storms of last week is only just commencing to be ap preciated. In Valencia more than ten million kilo grammes of rice have been destroyed. The fruit crops are practically ruined, and many villages are plunged into the most acute distress. At Seo de Urgel the crops have been wholly destroyed, and the Government is being asked for assistance. At So- morrostro the rising waters suddenly invaded the Town Hall, where a sitting of the Municipal Council was in progress, the result being that the alarmed Councillors had to beat a hasty retreat in a boat. According to advices received at Odessa, via Tiflis, the plight of the Russian soldiers remaining in Tabriz is a deplorable one. Their uniforms are re duced to rags. Some are walking about clad in make-shift Persian garments. The home administra tion, as during the war with Japan, is again at fault, and is bitterly condemned by the officers, who have made urgent representations by telegraph. A New' York cablegram to the Globe says it has been definitely decided that Judge Gaynor shall be the Tammany candidate for Mayor of New' York at the local elections which take place in November. The Fusionists, or Republican and Democratic Re formers, have not yet found a man of the right calibre willing to accept.their nominations. All the indications point to the success of Tammany, whose organisation is even more perfect than ever. Judge Gaynor is admittedly a strong candidate for various reasons, chief among which is that he wil! unite the sometimes rival democracies of New York and Brooklyn. Months ago it was stated that the Judge had started on a campaign of denunciation of Police Commissioner Bingham, and it was stated that that action was the opening move in the game. This is now beyond doubt. Judge Gaynor’s attack upon the Commissioner was unexpectedly successful, as it resulted in the dismissal pf that able and fear less administrator. It is not improbable that Gen. Bingham may be nominated by the Reformers for Mayor, but he has little hope of success, for he has antagonised every so-called “interest” in New York in his efforts to secure honest administration and a non-political police force. Had he remained in office he might have succeeded to some extent, and certainly he would have made Tammany’s task in this year’s elections infinitely harder. A serious state of affairs prevails at Calcutta, according to a cable received yesterday, where an old feud betw'een drivers of the street-cars and students became acute on Wednesday evening. Several students attacked one of the drivers, dragged him from the ear, and stabbed him to death. The city is in a state of excitement and police patrol the streets. Another cablegram, to hand yesterday afternoon, reported a serious outrage on an Indian mail train. Fifty-seven miles from Calcutta a bomb was thrown at the train, which was crowded with passengers, and the roof of the mail van was torn off by the explosion. No one was killed or injured. Lord Tw'eedmouth, whose grave condition we mentioned in our last issue, died on Wednesday- night at Dublin, Ireland. An automobile accident at Sheffield on Wednes day resulted in the death of two children and serious injuries to five others. From Marseilles comes news of an extraordinary affair which is just now filling columns in the French press. On Tuesday a splendid tigress, while being embarked at the port, managed to escape from its cage, and apparently is still enjoying its liberty. The beast escaped at four o’clock in the morning, and made its way to the pilot-house situat ed at the foot of the light-house, where one of the four occupants was on watch. The man, mis led by the half light of early morning, took the beast for a large dog, and approached with the intention of driving it away. Instantly his face was laid open by a blow from the tigress’s claws. The other men rushed to their comrade’s assistance, and the animal prepared to spring; but presumably it was somewhat awed by the strangeness of its sur roundings, for it eventually turned tail and tied away in long leaps. Plunging without hesitation in to the sea, the beast swam across the roads and clambered up on to the mole, where it still re mains. All thoroughfares leading to the town have been closed, and are watched by men with rifles. Soldiers and gendarmes with weapons ready are on guard in boats, waiting till the animal leaves its refuge. Up to now the watch has been in vain, and the owner of the tigress thinks it can subsist for two or three days more before coming out into the open for food. An old animal trainer has volunteered to recover the beast, and armed only' with a knife he is searching the mole to discover its hiding place. From a Prague source we learn that 13 grammes of from five to ten per cent, radium chloride will shortly be sent by the Government mining depart ment ‘at Joachimsthal to Vienna. This, the largest quantity of that substance hitherto obtained, is valued by hundreds of thousands of kronen, and w'ill be devoted exclusively to scientific purposes. (Continued on page 2)
