the steamer Evangel arrived at Seattle
Monday from Semillhmoo, Customs Of
ficers Winslow and Luther boarded her
to make the customary search for opium.
The officers noticed two vaEises and a
trunk which looked suspicious, and
they were accordingly seized. The
man who put the baggage aboard the
boat was arrested, although he claimed
that it did not belong to him. 1t being
in his charge, however, he is
answerable to the government just
as though he was the owner. Upon the
valises and trunk being opened they
were found to contain 81, 200 worth of
unstamped opium, ITO pounds in all,
which, at government sale, will bring
about S12 per pound. The man who is
accused of smuggling gave his name as
VaShion. He looked like a laboring
man, and nothing was known of him on
board the steamer, except that he came
on board in hurry just as the steamer
was leaving WhatcOm for Seattle.

SIOUX CITY, To-. March 20.-Much
anxiety is felt by the settlers on the low
lands beyond the bluffs north of the
city because of the prospect of an over
flow like that of 1881. The snow fall in
the upper river country has been very
great during the past winter, and the
warmweather is melting it rapidly. The
ice in the channel at this point moved
about o'clock this morning, covering the
pier of the new bridge, from the Gals
son of which the WOrkmen who were
filling it had just emerged. Work has
necessarily been abandoned at this pier.
although three or four days would have
completed it. A gorge formed about five
miles up the river this forenoon and the
water is reported rising there at the
rate of six inches an hour. In front of
the city opposite Prospect Hill another
gorge, extending part way across, has
formed, the ice being piled fully twenty
feet high. Just below the city near the
mouth of the Floyd, another gorge has
formed. and the water has backed up
on the low lands, sweeping away Nc
Namara'S grading camp, where work
was being done on the approach to the
new bridge. Unless the ice gives way
in short time there is danger of seri-
Gus overflow and great many people
flock to the river banks to watch the
flood.
