SAN FRANc1sco, Aug. 10.-In connec-
ton with the important opium smuggling
and bribery case, before the United States
Circuit Court. and which resulted yester-
day in q tie verdict, an official Of the
United States Treasury informed an Asso.
ciated Press reporter to-day that during
the last ten years over Sc, 900, 900 worth OF
opium has been s~muggled into this port.
The business has been systematically con-
Quoted by q ring Of smugglers, assisted
and protected by prominent Government
officials, who have been receiving 80 per
cent Of the spoils, the smugglers getting
10 per cent to cover risks. That in addi-
ton to the 80 per cent the officials have
received brides, ranging from $4,000 to
500, 600. and that it is q notorious fact
that men in this State reputed wealthy
have made their money through opium
smuggling. The present stock OF opium
in the market is not large, as it is not
more than three months supply; 80 that,
under the stimulus Of increased duties,
smuggling will be greater than ever. The
Treasury officials say that q million dollars
worth Of opium can be struggled into this
port yearly without any fuss being made,
and that unless the Government takes
decided measures to suppress it opium
smuggling will continue to be a gold mine
to some officials and their tools.
