q AN FRANCISCO is the second
~, importing city in the United
~ J States and is naturally the
theatre of many smuggling
operations. The character of many
of the imports is such, too, as to
stimulate efforts to evade the revenue
laws. Articles of small bulk and great
value, on which the duty is heavy, are
Incentives to smuggling. At the Port
OF New York precious stones, velvets,
and lacos are the articles usually
found endeavoring to get into the
country in contraband way. In San
francisco opium, silks and cigars are
the fayor.te articles OF the smuggler.
The reason for this is that our ocean
commerce is largely with ports which
send abr oad these articles, while laces,
velvets and precious stones come here

ticed in this way. Nevertheless, the
aggregate amount of smuggling IN
small lots at this port is very large
every year, notwithstanding the vigil
ance of the officers. Almost every day
some one is caught smuggling, but the
number of escapes exceeds the number
of captures right along. Francis

Hollow spars for Boats.

The use of hollow spars for boats de-
signed to attain great speed has intro
duoed new and novel industry req.lir-
ing workmanship of the finest character.
The stick for this purpose is required to
be of exceptionally fine, and straight
grain, and after being roughly shaped,
is split longitudinally from end to end;
the centre of each of the halves is then
followed out, and a greater or less
amount is removed, according to the
intended location of the spar, the upper
spars being much the lighter; these
hollows run nearly the length of the
spar, great care being essential to have
them follow the taper of the outside Of
the spar exactly to insure uniform thick
ness at every point-of course when this
has been done and the two halves of the
spar replaced in their original position,
circular hole is left in the centre of the
spar, running nearly the whole length,
and following its taper from end to end
After this the two halves are fastened
in place again by means of wooden
bowels, which fasten the split together,
being placed alternately on either side of
the central hollow, and both bowels and
split are carefully glued. These bowels
but are usually as long as they can be
made without piercing it's outside sur
face They are placed slightly nearer the
centre hollow than the outside, in order
to give them all the length possible. In
small spars the glue and the bowels
suffice, but in large ones metal bands on
the outside are added

tie Sherman law can't be repealed any
too quickly for the good OF the country.
The second cause Of the stringency
has been the idiotic course pursued by
country bankers who have withdrawn
their deposits from city banks and
boarded up the money. A good ex-
ample is that of Il man who runs a
little bank in Wisconsin. I have $7O.-
600 Of deposits he boosted, and could
pay $4,000 Of them tomorrow Could
anything be more insane than that ?
Unfortunately that has been the course
OF hundreds of country bankers who
with lack Of foresight almost mex
plcable and a lack of knowledge of
the fundamental principles of banking
wholly ineXcusable have created an
artificial stringency and precipitated Il
great deal of needless financial trouble.
However, things are mending and the
outlook for a prosperous winter is eX-

CHINA OPEN TO HIM.

Chicago, June 29.-Gen. Bagg, Of Fond
du Lac, Wis, was in the city a short
time yesterday afternoon. He dined
at the Victoria, and left at o'clock
last night over the Santa Fe for Cali
fornia, where he will remain for few
weeks.
The ministerships to Brazil and Aus
tria were offered the general, but he
declined them, believing, probably, that
there was something better in store for
him.
Speaking Of his intentions, the gen.
eral yesterday afternoon said that the
Chinese mission was open to him yet;
and he held letter from President
Cleveland to that effect. Gen. Bragg
is in no hurry, however, to accept the
profered honor, preferring to await de-
velopments and the effects of the Geary
law, inasmuch as he voted against a
similar measure while in congress.
The general has engaged a suite of
rooms at the Leland, and will be here
in September with his family to spend
three weeks attending the fair.
