Secretary Manning Will Beirln With the Custom ilonse Frauds to Heform the Keienue Frauds. Ssnator Oockrell and His Constituents oa Office-Soekera The Secrets of tho Sonato Chamber. VARIOUS MODES OF StttMUJLlNU. Undervalutitlon of Goods and Consular and Diplomatic Mailt. Epeclal to the Sentlnci. WasniNoVorr, March 22 It is said that one cf the first steps Secretary Manning proposes to take in the way of reform will be toward the management of the customs districts, and especially looking after undervaluations and the loose manner ct agents who inspect the luggage cf outgoing passengers at foreign ports. It is seid that millions of dollars worth cf goods are brought to this country every year without paying duty. At seme places the agents of the United States make the examinations of lnggage a mere matter of form, and upon arrival at American ports but little farther attention is paid. The consular and diplomatic mails, it is ascertained, furnish a loop hole, too, for people in that seryice to smuggle a great deal of foreign merchandise into this country. Said the wife of a consular agent now in England, speaking of this matter here to day : "I have just got a dozen pairs of charming lid gloves from my husband." 'You paid duty on them?" I asked. 4 Oh, no!'" ehe replied in astonishment ' they come through t lie consular mill". You see, Consuls and Ministers send tl eir mails in separate sacks, and they come hare to the Department cf Slate without being opened." "But do not the people at the De par tm er t of State object to sending merchandise through the consular mails?" "Not at all. I can not remember when the Ministers and Corsuls twere refused the use cf these mails to send these articles. I do not eay that persons outside the families of the consular and diplomatic circles get goods in this way. bat I suppose they sometimes do." The evil of such a practice as this can be seen instantly, and it Is likely that Secretary Bayard will rut tola off". Bo; the most extensive steal Is in the undervaluations, which amount to many millions annually. These will be attackeijin very short order. Senator Cocarell and Missouri Ollice Peckers. Special to the Sentinel. Washington, March 22. Senator Cockr ill, of Mifsouri, is; undoubtedly the most thoroughly lored with oihee-seekers of any man in public life. lie is hounded at every step by rren who want place. Missouri seems to have marshalled al of her place-hunters and sent them to Washington at one day. Tbe Senator Is so besieged at the Capitol that he stays at heme every night to get a rest, but they hunt him up and proent their little petition by the hundred. A six-fcot bruiser from "way bik" entered his house the other evening. He was one of Cockrell's constituents, but no sooner did he set eyes upon him than he made up his mind not to indorse him. "I am a candidate for Postmaster in our lit'le town," paid the Missouriao, pulling forth his petition, "and I waut you to inderse rce and take my petition to the IV Imatter General." Senator Corkt 11 took the petition and rnti his eye over it, as a matter of form, thtn laid it down, oyer by his constituent, ;is' much as to lay, "I'm done with It; take it up 'Have a clear?" saM the Senator, handlriKtte constituent a box o! five-centers. "Oh! take a couple," he insisted, his friend being on his feet, ready to leave. The tall and loud-mouthed fellow took in the situation, sat down, inquired for a match, lighted his cigar, pat his feet upon another chair.leaneJ back, and complacently Inquired: 'Senator, Lave you another box of cigar? "You can't smoke but two cigars at once, i an you?" "No, one ii enough; lat I'm a great smoker, and I propose to sit here and smoke until I get an answer from you about that petition." The Senator bit his cigar in two, took up a pen, signed the petition and said, "Go." How Secret Leak Oat of tht Senate Chamber. SredU to the Bentlne;. WfA8itiNoroN, March 22. "It's as impossible to keep the proceedings of an executive if ilon secret as it is to make a woman ke p a teeret, and you know how impossible that is," stormed a Senator this eveniag, speak-in-of the e .Torts of the Senate to atcertain how the newspaper men were securing the executive teuton secrets. "Why -o?" was asked. "Well," replied the Senator, "tarring the inclinition of men to tell of matten which are news and which will make a stir, there is always a sußiclent amount cf opposition to proposition in executive sessions to work up seme interest if not feeling. Those who strongly favor or oppose a step will talk of It indirectly, and the newspaper re-

porters get it out of them by entering IntD discussions nnd not referring to executive sessions." National Note-. Washington, March 22 It is probable the Senate will adjourn without day before the end of the week, and possibly it may do so by Tuesday or Wednesday night. The sessions from this time until the final adjourn

ment are likely to be held chiefly in secret. A considerable numbar of nominations are expected to-morrow and Tuesday. The time not cocsumed in their consideration will be spent upon the minor treaties. Mr. Clarke, r':entlv appointed Assistant Secretary of the Interior, who has been seriously ill with pneumonia, Is much better tonight, and his physic'aas think he is out of danger. President Cleveland has rented a psw in the First Presbyterian church of this city, of wh'ch lie?. Dr. Sunderland, formerly chaplain of the I'aited S.ates Senate, is pastor. Mr. Hay, the newly appointed First Assistant Postmaster General, will leave for F.orida shortly, but before coing will take tie cath of ollice, so that he may designate some ore to act for him in place of Crosby. This action was suggested by Pj3tnrajter (lereral Vilas and approved" by the President. THE FIKE KECORD. The Loan of Life at the Langham Hotel Much More Dreadful Thau at First Supposed.

his attentions became unbearable to her. She tried to evade him. Yesterday afternoon he tried to get au interview with her in the kitchen, where she was at work. The girl cloeed the door in Bendzus' face and put a chair against it to keep him out. This maddened him beyond endurance. With a kick be forced in the door and pointed a cocked revolver at the girl.

The Rnsso-Engllsb Status of Affairs Another Fight in the Soudan on Sunday. Early Thia. Morning the Arabs Rs now tho Attack Emperor William's Birthday Celebration. THE AFGHANISTAN SITUATION. Russia Determined oa War With England The Hrltlsh Cabinet ShllIy.ShlIjln. Lospon, March 22. So far as London is concerned, the situation in Afghan remains apparently unchanged; but so far aa St. Petersburg, is concerned, there is no doubt among the well informed Englishmen that a change has been steadily progressing in the shape of a continued advance sauthward and redoubled efforts to back this advance up by any kind of warfare found necessary. All the indications worthy of a statesman's notice point to aggression oa the part of F.us8la and to diplomatic retreat on the part of England. The Parisian report telegraphed to London last evening that M. DaGIers bad tendered his resignation as Prime Minister of Russia is the biggest Etraw blown by the wind in the direction of war. Two explanations are given of this alleged resignation. Oae i3 that M. De Giers offered his resignation bacause he found his pacific policy frowned oa by the Czai ; the other is tnathis resignation wa3 asked because he went too far in asiar ing England that llusöia would maintain the Afghan satu quo. In the recent telegraphic correspondence with Mr. Gladitone the Russian, it will be remembared, promised Mr. Gladstone that they would not ai vance unless some ''extraordinary reason," such as provocation on the part cf the Afghans, made it necessary. It was pointed out at tha time that if Russia desired an excuse for advancing it was ea.-y to provoke the Af'aans to provoke tbe Russians. This initial work of provocation has, it is reported, been adopted. When asked how many troops she had concentrated in the neighborhood of Penjdeh, Russia answered: "Only about 30,000." That number was considered too large, aud Coloaol Ridge way, of General Sir Peter Lumeden's Afghan frontier surveying party, was at once put to fortifying Penjdeh. This conduct on the part of a British officer has, it fieems, been accepted as a provocation. It is reported that tbe Russians hare made of it an excuie or advancing, and that they have begun the advence. Colonel Ridgeway has informed tha British Government tnat General KomaroST has openly threatened to capture Penjdeh. While Russia is thus alert, Mr. Gladstone's T . a i-. L ! i-.ifciai rarij ciiiiaues xo jufcr.ai 07er lue advisability of making warlike resistance to the advance toward tbe Quean's Empire of India. These diesecs'oas paralyze State action bv tbe British Cabinet. The majority of Mr. Gladstone's Cabinet seem incurably atllicted with political shilly-shally, and they act as if statesmanship at the present grave juncture consisted of accepting without question Russian pledges, in .spite of the teacbiDs of history that Asiatic promises delivered in a refrigerator at St. Petersburg melt below the thirty-sixth parallel. He Uiers Has Not Keened. St. PjETKiisEfRc;, March 22 -De Giers has not resigned the ministry of Foreign Affairs. Confident bat Dlaaatlsfiet! . Cai.cuita, March 22 There are .'0,000 men in India ready for service at any moment. The military authorities are confident of their ability to repulse an attack on Herat without assistance from Kneland. bat they cpsider England might send enough troops to end foieter Russian menace. THE SOUDAN WAR. The llrltlah Troop Again Attacked by the Arab The Attack At One Time Threatened Serious Ulianter, Si'akim, March 22. While detachments of English and Indian infantry were making a zeraba, eeven miles southwest of Saakim, to-day, they were suddenly surprised by a rush of Arab), who massed and concealed In defiles west of Hasheen. The English formed in a square as quickly as posilble, but the camels, mules and horses w re driven back in confusion on the troops, causing a stampede, and amid the clouds of dust the Arabs penetrated the south and north fides of the square. Meanwhile the marines and a Berkshire regiment, who were on the east and west sides of the square, main talaed a continuous fire, holding the enemy at bay, while a charge of cavalry and tbe fire from the gunsattbeHasheeaztreba checked the onslaught of th Arabs, which at ore time threatened serious disaster to the British. General Graham reports the English losses, as far as known, to b two odicers and twenty-two men killed and thirty-three nun wounded. The loss of tho engineers, transport corps and Indiaa trojps is not vtt reported. An fnoMlclal Estimate Mya Klfty-lwo Were Killed aud ElsMl-llve Wout.de.1. Si'akim, March 22. An unoillcial estimate pla:c the Biitiih killed at fifty-two and the wounded at eighty live. Nearly all ths casualties were due to a pear thrusts received in baud-to band engagements. The Arabs get between tbe transport train and ths zsraba and speared the men of the transport corps and killed the arilmals. They fought savagely, refusing to give or take quarter. 0n. eral McNeil, who commanded tbe sra' a, reports vaguely that there were several iuou.sand rebels in the fight, and over 1.000 were killed or wounded. McNeil is blamed for not taking precautions against a surprise. Farther Particular of Handay'a llattle. St akin, March 23. The enemy began an attack at 3 o'clock this morning. They were repulsed, and the ground cleared by 4 o'clock. The damage done to the transport material yesterday wai immense. Guards and artillery were sent to reinforce tbe trocna attacked. The whole British force 1 remained in the field during the night.

Camels and mules were hamstrung by tho Arab". Arabs were scattered about in the whol vicinity intercepting native fugitives. The Arabs glided and crept in all directions among the animals. The Haddendowas swarmed from the bush like magic and attacked the zeraba fiercely on all sides. The Soudanese coolies were mistaken for enemies and many killed by their friends. The Berkshire Regiment and the marines stood firm and cool, and fired volley after volley into the ranks of the enemy. The naval brigade, inside the zeraba, also opened a hot fire. The Indian troops held their own gallantly as soon as they were able to close the square again. Eventually, unable to stand the rattling fire, the enemy disappeared as Ibey came. General McNeil, drew in all his forces and stood to arms. The Hussars brought in tbe wounded, though menaced by the Arab camel force, which watched their movements vigilantly. Tho desert was dotted in every direction with runaway animals. The enemy's loss mu!t be heavy. Sentenced to Death Sold to Slavery. Kocti, March 22.
