sMUGGLERS ARRESTED
For Running Chinese Laborers into the
United States from British Columbia.

United States from British Columbia.
The acting secretary of the treasury yes
terday received telegram from the collector
of customs at Tacoma, Wash stating that his
officers, with the assistance of the revenue
steamer Walcott, had captured sloop en-
gagged in running Chinese across the line
from British Columbia. Two smugglers were
arrested, but nine of the Chinese pass Jngers
escaped. The collector alsn stated that nearly
100 Cinnamon had landed at various points on
the northern frontier in boats and Indian
canoes within the past few days, and that he
is powerless to prevent their landing unless
his force is largely increased.
Acting Secretary French, in speaking of
this matter, said he did not feel authorized to
increase the force Of the collector at present.
He expected Secretary Folger back in few
days, and the subject would be brought to his
attention at once.
1t was explained by an officer of the GUS
toms division that the law provides that no
Chinese laborers shall be permitted to enter
the United States by land without producing
to the proper officers of the customs q certif-
cate, such as is required of Chinese laborers
seeking to land from vessel, and that any
Chinaman found unlawfully within the
United States shall be caused to be removed
thcrefrom after being brought before justice
judge, or commissioner of the United States
but the duty of bringing Cinnamon before
the court or commissioner, or taking action
for their removal from the United States, il
not deyolyed by law upon customs officers

A Lost Art Reprodmced.

The proprietors of the glass works at Sand
wich, Mass, known as the Vasa Murrhina
glass works, claim that they have discovered
the secret of what has been for many years q
lost art.
They claim that they can reproduce in the
most perfect manner tho Vasa Murrhna glass
made by the Parthians and ancient Egyptians
three thousand years ago. Tho art of making
this ware is by blending in an artistic man
ner with tho glass various kinds of metal
such as gold, silver, bronze, iron, brass, copper
and steel, also all kinds of jewels and gems,
SO as to produce any color or shade, direct or
reflex, from the most brilliant sky or sea of
fire TO somber clouds.
The principal articles now made by the
company consist of lamp bodies, chandeliers,
globes, finger bowls tea sets, pitchers, wine
glasses, aud all kinds of small, delicate
glasses. In heavy work the chief articles are
mantel pieces, panels, columns, tiles, and
almost any article for exterior or interior
decoration.

A member of the Mexican legation is au-
thority for the statement that Germany and
Mexico have agreed upon treaty, tho terms
of which are almost identical to those en-
braced in the proposed treaty between the
United States and Mexico which was await
ing the approval of the senate when con-
grcs5 adjourned last spring. The treaty is
purely commercial one, and is said by the
Mexican diplomatist to be treaty such as his
government could make advantageously with
this or any other government, there being no
suggestion of menace in it. lie adds that
the Mexicans entertain the kipdliest feelings
toward the United statos and do not, as has
been stated, look with hostility or jealousy
upon American immigration, American en-
terprise, or the introduction of American
capital. That spirit, he says, has died out.

start a conversation, but without sue

young lady friends it was decided that

punished for his insolence. As he hap
peBs to ride on this same train everv
morning, this would not be very diff

When the train stopped-at his station

standing upon the platform of the sta
