OPIUM SMU ERS.
Discovery of an Ingenious Plot to
Avoid Plying the Duty,


New York, NOV. 1.-THE sudden discov-
cry of a wholesale system of opium SNUG
Cling across the Canadian border has consid-
eraply startled the custom house officials.
In the custom house there is now lying the
largest quantity of opium ever seized and
there Is still more to follow. The whole
story will be make public tomorrow.
1t is believed that the opium traf-
fc has been started by some of the
opium growers of India. Inc indian
merchants nave first sent that drug to Can
ada, and it has then been smuggled across
the border into the United States. In addi-
tion 10 having agents in Canada about three
or four months ago, two or three we'll edu-
Gated natives from Bombay arrived in this
country by way of Europe. They ostensibly
came on some other business, but the real OBJ
ject of their business Is believed 10 have
been the completion OF an elaborate arrange
ment for increasing the opium traffic in this
country. AS the first attempt at smuggling
proved to be so successful, it was determined
to operate on a larger scale. The ia miications
of the scheme are intricate and Ingenious,
put with the information already in the
hands of the treasury officials, an e~ffectual
stop will be- put to opium smuggling.

Da Fonseca's Side OF the Story as
Told from Rio.


Copyright 1891 m Jams GortoR Benefit
Rio JANERGO, via Galveston, Tex.) Nov. II.
-[By Mexican Cable to the Herald-Special
to TUE BEE. Up to the present wiring
there has been nothing, so far as can be
learned here, to seriously threaten the sta
bility of Deodoro da Fonseca's Dictatorship.
II there is any revolt in Pernambuco,
Bahia or Para, reliable information of
IT has not reached this city. There
are doubtless, so | am given TO understand,
disafected republicans and a number of inn
perialists, who would like TO see a monarchy
re-established, but they have, so far as
known here, only pronounced against the
government.
The only signs of discomfort that the peo-
pie of RIO are aware Of are in Rio Graude do
Sui, the most southcrly OF tho states
in the republic. Sucn disturbances as
have broken out there appear,
from such intelligence as we have,
10 have been altogether of a local character,
There does not seem to have been any organ
lied effort to resist Fonseca's assumption OF
a dictatorship or to declare the independence

the Amori-

to the great disregai y the Amori-
can officials here OF orders alleged
TO nave been sent from y. usnlngton. These
orders give the text of ostcnsiblo %instruc-
lions previously sent to maintain the strict
est neutrality during the Chilian civil war.
Owing either to their knowledge of secret in
tentions of the Washington cabinet or to
other motives, Minister Egan, Commander
Schley and the American consul continue to
show the bitterost aniDosity against the
congrcsSionnlist government publicly. 1t is
notorious that Minister Egan's attitude and
acts continue to be such as may provoke a
rupture OF tho friendly relations between the
two countries. Viewed in connection with
later events, Commander Schley's LANDING
sailors on October l6 ceases to bear tho as
pect OF thoughtless imprudence. The propa-
ration OF the Baltimore for action at mid
night in a friendly port was an insult to the
dignity and good faith of Chill and more so
still are the declarations Commander
Schloy has Just made in several quarters that
war between the United States and Chill Is
inevitable. The American consul at VAL
paraiso Is spreading similar reports and he
adds that a strong United States squadron is
coming here. The consequence of this oni-
cial flibuS erlug is that the warships of
other nations which were about to leave
Chill have been ordered TO remain. These
deliberate provocations will not make the
Chuian government abandon it's secret Judi
cial attitude.
There is, l repeat, absolutely no hostile
feeling in Chill against the United States,
but such a feeling may be brought about UNI
less more prudence be displayed.
The captain of the Itata speaks with en-
thusiasm of the public sympathy he received
In California, in strong contrast with the
vexatious conduct of American officials.
"The captain Of the Esmeralda reports that
direct Washington orders prevented him
from coaling at Acapulco, and thus the
Esmeralda was prevented for weeks from
assisting the congressionalists.
Minister Egan has already congratulated
Admiral Montt upon his election as presi-
dent. This is n diplomatic blunder, Admiral
Montt being only a candidate for tho presi-
dency. 1t is unfair, however, to attribute
this oardonable mistake to Minister Egan's
desire to further interfere with the affairs Of

Danger Appreciated from the Insub-

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 1.-the spirit of
insubordination among the people in the dis
tressed districts is becoming so intense that
it is feared serious trouble will result,
culmlnatingin an open revolt of the peasantry
early in the winter. The relations existing
between landlords and peasants are so
S trainedthat an outbreak is imminent. Ten
ants defy the landlords to evict even under
an order of law and monaco the land owners
with threats to burn their granaries. Resi-
dents throughout Lithania and Poland and
tn local courts, composed of magistrates
drawn from tradesmen and smaller farmers,
side with the tenants. Tho leading govern
ment officials are aware of the perils of the
situation and propose to send imperial com
missloners to the disturbed places, vested
with supreme power and to supersede, if
necessary, governors and other officials I'M
able to cope with abuses. The corruption
prevailing among people aggravates the dis
content of the people.

Heaps o. Trouble Here.

1t was at first considered to be so serious a
personal affront that it was at once discred-
ited; but now 1t proves to be absolutely true,
and all hopes of a personal reconciliation be-
tween the two sovereigns are now abandoned.
1t would, however, be IN error to
rush to the other extreme and sup
pose from this that tho 'entente"
between Russia and France is complete.
There has, in fact, been a slight hitch in the
relations between these two countries. Rus
sian diplomacy, accustomed to implicit, pas
sive obedience, fails to understand why the
French government does not check the fall
on the bourse of the value of Russian securi-
ties In Paris. The government has certainly
done all in Its power to do this, but it has,
of course been unable to interfere
with selling orders coming from London to
banking houses like that of the Bischoff.
helms or of Baron Hirsch. Those, in fact,
are the names cited. 1t is, perhaps, an exag-
geration to say that, owing to this, there is a
reimbursement between France and Russia,
but as we say in Paris, 81 va un cheveu."
Hopes for Peace Ended.
The Herald was the first paper in the
world to announce the efforts recently made
to secure a permanent general peace. This
was at first denied and is now confirmed by
the emperor of Austria himself, who in his
speech to the delegations said that his
hopes of announcing to his people
a permanent peace and informing them
that anxiety for the future was ended have
now vanished. The emperor referred to the
negotiations for founding a league of peace.
L am also in a position to state that Austria
is making ready to slip away from the triple
alliance. Russia is, however, taxing steps to
draw Austria more closely than ever before
to herself. Before long the pivot of Euro
pean policy will change.
Home politics in France are also agitated
and O ministerial crisis is feared.
