SMUGGLING on THE BoRpER.-A Detroit
letter says that though almost daily arrests
are made, the facility for bringing over from
Windsor, G. W, portable property" readily
concealed about the person, is SO great that
it is almost impossible to put e stop to the
contraband traffic. When it is considered
that clothing can be bought in Windsor for
one-half the rates charged on this side-and
this remark will apply to nearly every de.
scription of imported goods-the inducement
to violate the law is seen to be considerable.

The claim of seamen to be Unidentified for
clothing destroyed on account Of infection
does not rest upon any statute, but upon de-
cisions Of the Secretary of the Navy. On
the 18th Of July, 1912, Secretary Upshur al
lowed the claim Of seaman for clothing de-
stroyed to prevent smallpox infection, and
in October, 1874, an allowance Of q similar
claim was made. These precedents have
governed, but the question now arises what
sum should be fixed as the maximum in such
allowances. On this subject it is held by the
proper accounting officer Of the Treasury
that the action Of Congress in analogous
cases should govern. On the 4th Of July,
1864, Congress enacted "That persons not
officers whose personal effects were lost on
board United States vessel destroyed should
be allowed sum not exceeding sixty dollars
each as compensation fer their loss" and on
the 9th of April, 1866, an act was passed
giving to every officer who had lost his per.
sonal effects on board a United States vessel
which by any casualty or in action, &C., has
been sunk or destroyed sum not exceeding
the amount of his sea pay for one month.
This legislation sufficiently indicates the in
tention of Congress to pay for no more cloth.
ing than was absolutely necessary, and not
to effect an insurance Of whatever might be
lost. One months pay will, therefore, be the
maximum allowed for officers, and sixty dol
lars to other persons, whose clothing may be
destroyed under circumstances emitting them
to compensation.
