WHEN sMUGGLERs FALL OUT.

VANCOUVER, B. e.. June l, 1S93.-The
seizure at Seattle of the steamship Hay
tian Republic by the United States Gus
toms authorities was caused, it appears.
by The falling ont of smugglers. Under
the heading Of bold Free Traders" the
Vancouver World gives the following
account of the affair."
''In December the Haytian Republic
carried from this port 10000 worth Of
opium. On her two January trips she
carried $4S, 600 worth, and on February II
she went away from here with very
nearly Sl50 900 worth. As to Cinnamon,
she was carving them in varying num-
bers all the time. Some of the opium
was bought in this city: the balance was
shipped from Victoria. Major Wilson of
Victoria, who was agent for the Mer-
chants Shipping Company. has given up
letters that show the ring was composed
of Dunbar, Blum and JacKling. The
reason Wilson has done this Is the fact
that tue ring let him in for $15.000 on
paper that h. endorsed for them TO pur-
chase opium with.
'sAt present William Jackling. who was
man ager for the Merchants Shipping
Company, is in this CITY. HI says thai
he was employed by Blum and Dunbar.
and that he hu,l full! control Or both the
Haytian Republic and Wilmington. He
did not think that Blum and Dunbar hal
committed any crime. =

Judge thereupoa ordered that Townsend
should be confined during Her Majesty's Is

convicted persons are held to be lrrespon-
sible on the ground OF insanity.
Justice Grantham tried the case, and
the Indictment recited that Townsend

He went the whole rope and even car
