Tne Solicitor calis especial atten- Uuon to the law relating to this class oi officers and the duty required of them, and admonishes thom that they must avoid complications with revenue officers, and keep themselves unspotred and above suspicion in the. discharge of their official duties. The first work assigned the agents is the detection of fraud upon the reveoue at the prin- cipal ports and the suppression of smuggling, To this end the Solicitor will avati himself of all the means at his command to ascertain to what ex- tent Custom House officials are aerelict and how far their connivance is necessary to deiraud the government. Secretary Bristow will not be here until Friday morning, when ther subject of enforcing ihe re- cent order abous tourists’ baggage will come be- fore him on an appeal from the customs olicersin New York. ‘Tho Collector at Boston represents that nis city 1s again in danger of losing the weekly line of steamers 1: the baggage of return- ing parties 1s to be subjected to the surveillance of the inspectors at that port and permitted to pass without deiay or annoyance in New York. The Treasury officials ridicule the complaint of Colléctor Simmons, and say that it sounds very muca like blowing his own trumpet at the ex- pense of the New York Custom Honse emplovés. “If it 18 within the power of the Secretary of the Treasury,” says Mr. Bristow, “the customs laws shall be fairly enforced at all the ports,’’ Thé requirement of an oath Irom passengers as ta tne dutiable and non-dutiable articles in their possession on arriving in foreign steamers has already attracted the attention of the foreign legations, and the inquiry is whether the Minis- ters resident in Washington will be obliged to make oath that the articles heretofore adinitted without question must be accompanied with an amMdavit that they are Intended for personal use, For years, at the request of the Secretary of State, certain packages for the use of a legstion have passed iree of duty tnrough the Custom House, while it has been notorious here that the finest brands of wine are so received in Washington and sold to parties at a handsome profit, The order of Mr. Bristew, it is understood, does not contem- plate Interierence with this form of courtesy, but applies only to the baggage of passengers arriv- ing on ocean steamers, It is understood that the Secretary of the Treas- ury will order a modification of the torm of cath prescribea for baggage of returning European traveliers, 80 that two oaths will be required, one of which will embrace those articles entitled to admission free of duty, and the other specifying the dutiable articles, CAPTURE OF CROOKED WHISKEY IN CHICAGO. The Secret Service reports the capture to-day at Chicago @f 400 barrels of crooked whiskey, which had been concealed by distillers ana recti- fiers in May last in anticipation of the raid made on the 10th of that month, The evidence against the whiskey ring on this point, it 1s said, is direct, GAMBLING HOUSES IN WASHINGTON CLOSED— CURIOUS STATEMENT OF THE GAMBLERS. After years of uninterrupted business tne gam- bling houses in Washington have received notice to close their places and discontinue gaming in every form, Most of the establishments have complied with the order. It is asserted on the authority of the parties engaged that they have been taxed $100 monthly tor the privilege of car- rying on the gambling business unomoiested, one- half of wmich amount was paid to the District Attorney’s office and the other half to the local police foree, At one time there were twenty-two houses ranning, all contributing to the eupport of the omMcials named, The Secret Service jorce here were directed to investigate the matter, and asa consequence _mhe partes engaged have “gone West.” THE MYSTERIOUS BOOKS OE THE DISTRICT TREASURER TO BE DECIPHERED BY AN EX- PERT. W. E. Warren, who has been engaged in exam- ining the books in the New York canal frauds, has accepted the offer of the District Commissioners to come here and examine the books of Treasurer Magruder, whose system of bookkeeping under the District Ring has thus far passed the compre- hension of the best accountants, The Commis- stoners are in doubt whether he owes the District or the Distict is indebted to him, though, it is re- ported that the last examination was $50,000 in Magruder’s favor.
