Merchants and others are hereby re-
minded that the New MEXICAN is pre-
pared to do their printing on short notice
and at reasonable rates. Much of the job
printing now going out of town should
come to the New MEXICAN office. There
in no better excuse for sending out of
town for printing than there is for sending
away for groceries or clothing. Our mer-
chants should consider these things. The
New MEXICAN is acknowledged the lead
ing paper of this section. The patronage
of the people will enable us to keep if so.

ROBBED OF MILLIONS.

| Between Daring Smuggiers and VenaI
| Customs Officers the Government is Being
| Robbed of Millions of Dollars Annually
by the Illicit Traffic in Opium and
| Chiness Slaves From British Columbia.
CHICAGO, Feb. Ga special to the Trib-
une from Victoria, B. c.. says that the
government is being cil"rtel out of mill
| ions of dollars of revenue every year, and
that the laws against Chinese immigra-
ton are fagrantly violated right under
| the noses of the government officials.
The Tribune's correspondent says there
| are In Victoria nineteen factories, or
! "cook-houses," where opium is manu-
featured and prepared for the market.
The combined product is about 100000
pounds year, nearly all of which Is
| sold IN the United States and only a
! very small part passes through the
custom-house. There are in Vic
toria and its immediate vicinity more
that score of persons who are openly
| engaged in the business of smuggling
opf<lm into the States. The correspondent
says: ''They tell tough stories here about
some of the American customs officials,
and in the light of recent developments it
is believed that there has been some ex-
tensive thieying, and few of the rascals
have been caught. Some of the smugglers
in Victoria openly boast that they have
DeSn dDle TO Dt1Dc almost every
house official they have come in contact
with. But opium forms only a part
of the stock in trade of the big SNUG
glers, for the most netarious of
their operations is the traffic that is being
carried on i'll Chinese slaves. Chinese
men and women are bought and sold with
as much impunity as people of the South
ern States traficked in African slaves be-
fore the war. The business is rapidly in
creasing, and is now among the most
lucrative industries of Vancouver Island.
Men are getting immensely rich out of it,
and talk about the traffic as freely and
unblushingly as merchants discuss profits
in sugar and dry goods. Little risk is in
Cured, for the smugglers of China
men or opium can not be convict
ed unless caught in the act
of smuggling, and Struggled ''goods"
found in their possession. So, in order to
convict, the customs officers must capture
the smuggler's vessel in American waters
with the contraband slaves on board.
Once they are Ian led and the boat puts
back into British waters, she or her crew
can not, under existing treaties, be mo-
Tested, and nothing can be done with the
Chinese cargo but to send it back TO Vic !
toria at the expense of the American
Government. And the chances are, if
sent back, they will be landed in the |
United States again within forty eight |
hours.

THE SAMOAN NATTER.

Little Ground to Doubt that Peaceabl.
and Permanent Settlement VIII be Ar
rived at.
NEW YORK, Feb. G.-The Herald's Wash
ington correspondent telegraphs the fol-
lowing statement, which he says was die
tated by Secretary Bayard for publica-
ton:
With the resumption at Berlin of am
lcable conference, i'll accordance with the
proposal of Prince Bismarck, and which
is Acceptable to this Governments, there
seems little ground to doubt that peace
able and permanent settlement of all
the questions of native rights in
Samoa as well as the rights
of the three treaty powers will
be attained. But further than to COM
ment in terms of general approval on
the good temper shown by Count Bismarck
in relation to the United States, and the
resolve to keep all the questions involved
in the atmosphere of diplomatic settle
ment, it is more respectful to Congress
that Mr.. Bayard's communications should
be first laid before them, and in that way
be made public" 1t will be noticed, the
correspondent adds, that Secretary Bay
ard lets it be known that he consents to
the German proposition that the Samoan
negotiations shall be removed from Wash
ingtOu to Berlin.

coNsuL.GENERAL sEWALL.

His Resignat ion De ,ired by the State Do
partment-Mr. Sewali Says the samoans
are Suffering from Following His Advice
Given Under Instructions From Score.
cary Bayard-Whlle Our Governmene
Temporized Germany Acted.
WASHINGTON. Feb. s.-Secretary Bayard
| declined last evening to discuss the SUBJ
| ject of the notification to Consul-Generai
| Sewall that his resignation was desired.
| There is no doubt, however, that the ac-
| ton on the part Of the Secretary grows
out of dissatisfaction on account of Mr..
Sewall's utterances during his examina-
ton about Samoan affairs before the Con-
gressional committee, which were pub
lished in these dispatches several weeks
ago.
Mr. Sewal, when seen last night by
representative of the United Press, said:
II am thoroughly sincere when l say
that am glad of to-day's developments.
My formal resignation will be sent to the
State Department tonight, and l will
know that have been freed from hui
initiating position. I have no grievance.
simply deplore that was forced to I'M
consciously deceive the people who trust
ed my Government.
81 am forced to resign because the
secret is out, and that secret is that while
the conference of July, 1887, was being
held in Washington to arrange the Sa-
moan question Germany was permitted,
without protest from the United States,
to send her ironclads into the harbor Of
Apia, and place our Government in
position that any fourth class European
power would have resented.
81 was forced to see the Samoans suffer
as they are suffering pow from following
my advice given under the instructions OF
Secretary Bayard.
hot OF tha Sfafa
partment yesterday was known ten days
ago, and yet was permitted to make my
arrangements to start on my return jour-
ney to the islands to be detained within a
few hours of my contemplated departure.
81 await with some little Impotence the
removal of the injunction Of secresy from
my testimony before the Senate commit
Tee, the significant points of which were
sent out by the United Press some two
weeks ago. My testimony will show that
every step of German aggression in Samoa
was reported to the State Department and
ample warning given of these steps"
The portion of the testimony Of Mr..
Sewall on which the action Of Secretary
Bayard is probably based, was synop-
sized by the United Press on January %,
in the following words:
On the day after he arrived Mr.. Sewall sail
he received despatch from the State Depart
neht lhstructlhg MIN 10 ADVISE inc natives nos
to resort to force as the treaty powers were en-.
deavoring to obtain a native government for
Samoa. Mr.. Sewall sought to impress on
Malietoa the significance of the fact that the
United States gave assurance that the long
promised conference was talk ng place or
would take place. MIR. Sewall also told him OF
the assurances that Mr.. Bayard had given him
orally, that he (SewalD might contradict in any
way he chose the report that German action to
take control would meet with the acquiescence
of the Secretary of State and the Government
of the United States.
