papers. The oflicer shot tha dogbecause he was suspiciously fat. Thapost-morte- m examination revealedthe fact the animal wore a leathercoat made to look like his own skin,and skillfully fastened at theshoulders and haunches in such wayaa to completely conceal the ends inthe hair. In this coat the dogcarried several hundred cigars. Onthe Belgian frontier smuggling withthe aid of trained dogs is said to bea nourishing business. Cigars,jewelry, and laces constitute thetrade. The animals receive a specialtraining for their profession. Thepiactice consists in traveling fromone place in Belgium to another inFrance and vice versa,' avoiding thehigh roads and the' ic venue men.The latter they are taught by bitterexperience to avoid, for the smug-

glers who train them keep a goodsuiilv f uniforms of revenueofficer n hand. These uniformsare donned by t on federates whomthe dogs have never seen, and thesefellows beat and atone the dogsunmercifully. The result is thedogs inn whenever thev see agenuine oflicer. When tho dog istarted off on his journey w ith hisload tho smuggler eets out for thesame place, but he takes the directroute, or travel bldy by rail,caring, of course, nothing for anyinspection of his baggage.

There was a famous dog of thiskind in M.'iiiLcoge. lie made thefortune of his master by carryinglaces across the French frontier.Hit natural color was white, but hewore all sorts of disguises. Sometimes ho was black, sometimes he

wis brown, and sometimes he was amighty thick shaggy fellow. Hewas cull'il t'ute (XalinL and he waswell wot thy of the name. A ptieewas put upon Lis head, and nil nortsof tmp.s and MubuHcades were pre-pared for him. It is said that oncehe crossed the frontier disguised aaan innocent hheep dog, travelingwith a iloek of bheep. His deathwas quite hagic. C'ule died iuharness like a hero, lie was chasedly th. e oilicei and lepent-edl- y

tiled upon. Ju swimmingacross the 1'ncaut he wns mortallywounded; but he manured to reachthe hore, mIicic he died. Lacesvalued at l.".0 ll francs were foundin his revei'siMe overout.

WASHIXGTOX LETTER.

From our Regular Correspondent.

Va8ixgto3. April 20, 1888.

The graat erent of tha wek attha capitol was tha opening of thetariff debate in the house of repre-MnUtiY- es.

It began on Tuesdaywith great dignity and decorum.Nearly every member was in hisaeat; many distingushed visitorswere in the crowded galleries, andmuch interest was manifested in thebeginning of the battU which thacongressional war horses bad so.lisJiennifing from afar,

The first speech which presentedthe revenue reform of the questionwas made by Mr. Mills, of Texas,chairman of the Ways and Meanscommittee. The reply caute fromJudge Kelly, the acknowledgedleader and exponent of protection.The discussion promtKes to le longcontinued and exhaustive. It willnot be strange if it wears upon thepublic patience to some extent le-for- e

a vote is reached.The president is at his old game

of vetoing private pension Lills.Three such bills have fallen victimsto his fearlesM ien during the pies-en- t

weei;.Senator Stewart, of Nevada, Las

introduced a bill giautingn pensionof $5000 a year to the widow ofthe late Chief justice W'aito. Hestated tbat the responsibility forthe proposition was solely witbinhimself, he believing that thewidows of chief justices should beprovided for in the name manner asthe widows of

It is lielieved in democratic circleshere, at this moment, that Mr.I'helps, of Vermont, hau been .se-

lected for the vacant chief justice-ship. The talk is that had the va-

cancy ls?en that of an associatejusticeship, th president woulddoubtless have chosen Senator (!ray,of !) 'In ware, but iih the vacancy ischief jtistive, the Utter gentleman isdeemed too voting to preside overthe delils5rations of the experiencedold men on the supreme bech, andthai consequently Mr. Phelps, whois"sixty-i- x years of ng, i the com-

ing man.Hev. Oiccn Cl.iv Smith, of Ken

bTx!. T-- ,call to thechurch, is mentioned here ns theprobable presidential candidate of

the prohibition party,AVhile speaking of this auLjeet, I

will quote from a recent editori il of

a Washington paper: "High hcenaeand local option may put a tenij.i-rar- y

check on the progress of theprohibition movement, but will notdiscourage the honest and irrepress-ible zealots who are pledged to makea relentless war ou alcohol. Thischeck will give the republican partya respite, but cannot annul the de-

cree that dooms it to disintegrationthrough the instrumentality of pro-

hibition fanaticism."Any kind of license, high or

low, is simply abhorrent to personswho regard liquor Belling an infa.mous crime," etc. ,

The senate committee on foreignrelations has decided on a partyvote that the Fisheries treaty oughtnot to be ratified.

The American Alliance will holda national conference in this city onthe 2o"rd of May, to which one dele-

gate at least will be sent from everycongressional district in the country whero tho organization has established councils. The object ofthe conference is to consider whatpolicy most expedient to pursuewith reference lo the presidential

a.t - t a

campaign. It is noi prouauie inaithe alliance will place a ticket inthe field, but its action may havesome effect in shaping the platformsof the two great party conventionsto be held in June.

The alliance believes in theof immigration to the ex-

tent of excluding its undesirableelements, and in requiring of itsforeign born citizens a residence oftwenty-ou- o years as precedent tothe elective franchise; but it pre-

scribes no leligious view, andmakes war upon no church.

"What have you been doing for aliving lately?" asked a very tough- -... . , 1

looking citizen of a man who looteuas if he might le a lioon companion,"Uurglaiizinif " k'What was yourlast job?" T tackeled the residenceof a real estate agent last night.""Have any luck?" "Yes; firstrate." "What did you gel?" "Igot away without buying !i houseand lot."

The president approved of the ct to

prevent persons in the cities of Wash-

ington and Georgetown from making

book and pools on the result of trottingand boat races.
