Some new regulations have been made by
the Treasury department, for the examina-
ton Of the baggage of passengers landing
from foreign steamers. intended to pre-
vent the petty smuggling which has become
so common of late years. A list Is to be
made. and sworn to by each passenger, OF
any articles in his possession which NAV be
subject to duties. As many persons will take
the risk of bringing vaiuables in their trunks,
on the chance of thtir passing 4 careless or

to false statement, it i thought these rules
will do good deal toward the prevention
of fashionable smuggling.
