OPIUM SMUGGLIN0.
Custom Onicials Startled by the Discovery OF
Wholesale system.

New YORK. Nov 1.-The customs officials
are somewhat perturbed over the discovery
Of a wholesale system OF opium smuggling
which they have suddenly discovered The
drug. il is said has been brought across the
Canadian border in large amounts for some
time past and officials of the custOm-house are
now in that country investigating the matter
At the custom house, while II was admitted
that large amount of opium had been
seized. the officials are very reticent.
They say. however that they will
make the full details of the seizure known
tomorrow. When the officers who are now
IN Canada investigating the matter arrive. 10
IS probable that wholesale arrests VIII be
made in connection with the smuggling Of
poisOus Oh this side Of the border. Six men
at least of the men engaged in the traffic are
now in this city. Their arrest may take
place at any moment one man, said b. be
a Canadian, Is now IN custody. 10 Is now
thought that the opium traffic has been
started by some Of the opium growers in
India. The Indian merchants first sent tho
drug T. Canada and it has been snug
eled across the border into the United
States. In addition 20 having agents
in Canada two ~ three well educated'natives
from Bombay arrived IN this city some three
months ago. They Ostensibly came on some
ether business but the real object Of their
visit is believed 10 have been the completion
of an elaborate arrangement for increasing
the opium traffic IN this country As the first
attempts at smuggling proved SO successful
il was determined 10 operate on q large scale
The ratlhcations Of the scheme are intricate
and Ingenious but with the information al
ready in the hands of the Treasury officials
an efectual stop. II is believed, Will be put 10
the opium smuggling.
