Alleged Frontier La~is..ns...

CHICAGO, Feb. 6.-Tbe Tribune recently
sent reporter to Victoria, B g., and this
morning devotes an entire page TO his re-
port OF the condition OF affairs there. The
report deals at length with the smuggling
operations across the border; declares the
United States was cheated out Of millions
OF revenue every year by organized bands
OF opium smugglers; that many federal
customs officials on the border are corrupt
ed by them, while others are so stupid as TO
be useless. The correspondent further de-
clares the laws against Chinese immigra-
ton are flagrantly violated under the very
noses OF the federal officials; that Chinese
women In herds are smuggled across the
border, and sold into slavery In the United
States. In general II Ia asserted that the
people OF the United States have not the
slightest conception Of the brazen lawless-
ness that exists on the northern frontier.
