An English View of Fosters Speech.

LONDON, Nov. 19.--The NslcS in its tinan-
cial article this morning referring to the
speech OF Secretary Foster at the chamber
of commerce banquet in New York Tues
day night, says: Secretary Fosters
speech is confession that opinion in Amer
lea has gone too far to draw back. The
United States treasury is in the same posi-
ton as the Bank of France-it has to face
the probability OF being saddled with an
immense stock of useless silver, while talk
ing measures TO hold so large reserve of
gold that it might just as we'll not keep sill
yer at all. The Americans seem so occu-
pied with crop and trade prospects they
neglect currency matters so long as their
material progress is not violently intnr-
rupted.n

AMONG SMUGGLERS
Special Agent Jingle Reports
Upon Their Doings.
Amount OF Goods Seized-Ditficulty of Pro-
uecting the Canadian and Mexican From
tiers-Clandestine Entry Of Chinese.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-Supervising
Special Agent Tingle, of the treasury de-
partment in his annual report, shows that
during the past fiscal year special agents
seized goods to the value of Sl43, 1856, and
recovered 1925, 500 on account of seizures,
fines. etc. He gives several instances of
fraudulent importations and refers to the
difficulties under which agents worked, es-
pecially in guarding against smugglin z
from Canada. The numbsr Of officers for
preventive duty on that long frontier does
not exceed twenty and their efforts are,
necessarily, to large degree, futile. A
similar condition exists on the boundary of
Mexico. The Puget sound district fur
nishes splendid facilities for smuggling,
both of dutiable goods and Chinese into the
country. Tingle says he is reliably in
formed that during the past year 125, 00C
pounds of crude opium was i'm
ported and manufactured at Vic
toria making about 10000 pounds
of the prepared article for smoking
purposes and nearly every pound of the
latter was smuggled into the United States
The enormous profits in opium smoking
owing entirely to the high duty in thi:
country, have induced capital and num-
Der of good, skillful men to engage in ar
illicit traffic made so alluring.
| Referring to the Chinese, he says the ex
clusion laws are practically overthrow
by the clandestine introduction of then
through Canada When Chinaman en-
tering Canada pays a head tax of $50 b.
gets certificate which enables him to re
turn to Canada without further payment
should he be detected in trying to enter thu
United States. Our courts in several case
| have given q construction that Canada ant
not China was the country whence thes
Cinnamon come. within the meaning of tn
law. The effect of this Is that Chinamel
are caught and returned to Canada unit
they repeat their attempt to steal into tn
United States. Repeated instances Of thi
have occurred and in this manner the OBJ
iect of the restriction act is practically de
feated. Tingle urges q revision of tn
customs districts and laws with view t
the adjustment or consolidation of district
in which little or no business is done, tina
more aid may be given where needed
New and comprehensive legislation upo
the needs of the northwest and Mexica
frontiers is urgently demanded.
