EASY SMUGGLING.
How 1t Is Carried On at
the Sound.
Captain TOzier Says That the One
Revenue Cutter There Can Do
Little-Two More Soon.

Captain D. T. Tozier of the United States
revenue cutter WoeOtt is In this city, He
has recently arrived from the Puget Sound
custom station. situated at Port Towns
end, from where t Q Government trans
ferred him to New York harbor. where he
will proceed in few days.
Il was appointed by the Government
some time ago to taks command of the
United States revenue cutter Wolcott," said
Captain IoZier yesterday, land proceed to
the Puget Sound station to assist the au-
thorites there in breaking up the Illicit
trafiic in opium and Chinese, which was
being carried on to large extent.
when | arrived there found things lust
as had been represented to me. Opium and
Chinese were being smuggled over the
border by the shiplOad. Very little could
be done 10 put stop to it. The feet there
was iuad eQuate to cope with the smugrlers
and even when the Wolcott was stationed
there we found it almost impossible to
interfere with the business.
After l had been stationed there n short
while made complete study of the sur
roundings and circumstances leading to a
lew arrests which had been made. On
frequent occasions | made trips to the
Canadian border. There | found that large
rings were openly carrying on the Illicit
business. In one place over 16 600 pounds
oil opium was manufactured and shipped
away tfCLy year. w ubT6 all LnlS went TO
was question for me to find out. But
had not been at the station long before /
learned that not much opium is used in that
section, and, as very little was shipped duty
paid to the United States, | came TO the
conclusion that 1t was sent to this country
by Illegal means.
The way they smuggled 1t in without
being caught was another question for me
to consider. But | received information
from the customs officials that mysterious
crafts made nightly cruises from Barkley
Sound around Vancouver Island, then
down to American waters
81 soon learned that these mysterious
crafts were doing the Illicit business, but to
catch them was almost out of the question.
They all fly the British flag and we could
not legally coDfiscae them so long as they
did not come within twelve miles of the
shore. The smugglers therefore take ad-
vantage Of this, and of the sact that the fleet
is inadequate. and they carry on the SNUG
CLING without much danger of arrest.

to an Asylum.
Friends Of Mrs. Evelyn L. Ballou Mills
Evans are trying to assist that eccentric
woman. They will try TO secure her release
from the Branch County jail and have her
sent 10 an insane asylum.
Over two months ago the woman of many
names was arrested for swindling two
women whom she had employed, by repre-
senting that she was an heiress-and a great
opera singer. Her conduct was so violent
that she was examined by the Commission
ers of Insanity. The superintendent of the
Home of Inebriates stated that she was
only shamning insanity and so she was
pronounced sane. Again she was declared
sane when examined second time before
Judge Levy. She was then convicted and
sentenced 10 six months imprisonment in
the County Jail.
1t is now stated that she is a sister of
Stephen BaliOu of the big New York jew
ery firm Of Tiffany & Co., and that she was
once confined in Boston insane asylum.

and they are very anxious to have her sent

CALIFORNIA; FRUIT CROP.
Prospects Are Very Encouraging for
This Years Growth.

This Years Growth.
Judging from appearances this year will
be an unusually prosperous one for fruit
growers in California.
The over-production of last years crop
made raisin-growing Improbable. the quail
ity of the fruit was as good, If not better,
than in previous years. but the increased
quantity had not been expected and dealers
were not prepared to handle it. But now
satisfactory arrangements have been made
to dispose of the crop at a profitable figure
to Eastern merchants.
At present very healthy condition pre-
walls in the dried-fruit market, and also for
canned fruit. These goods can be shipped
East at a big profit much more so than green
fruit. And in fact CalifOrnia's produce is
so well known all over the world that
ready sale at top prices can ALWAYS be found.

American Locomotives.

Commercial List.
British builders of locomotive engines are
at the present time enduring much unrest,
the chief reason for which is the fear thai
the locomotive made in the United States
will drive the English engines from the
foreign market, where they have heretofore
been supreme. In an important branch Of
manufacture such as this the competition is
not so much one of price as it is of scientific
production and skilled finish. Therefore, il
is doubly gratifying to know that our eX-
port trade is in a aourishing condition, with
the likelihood that The United States will
lead the world in this line.

We do not intend to indorse any except
articles of genuine merit; we therefore
take pleasure in recommending to suffer

permanent cure. The following letters
speak for themselves:

writes: One pkg. of Pyramid Pile Cure
entirely cured me of piles from which l
have suffered for years, and | have never
had the slightest return of them since.
Mr. L. O'Brien, Rock Bluffs, Neb.,
says: The pkg. Of Pyramid Pile Cure
entirely removed every trace of itching
piles. / cannot thank you enough for 1t.
Tho Pyramid Pile Cure is new, GER
tain, painless cure for every form of piles.

will get it for you If you ask him.

Beet Sugar.

American Economist
Whatever may be the effect of tariffs and
bounties upon the production of cane sugar,
it is pretty evident that the beet sugar in
dustry has come TO stay. There are six
factories at work-the same number as last
year-but they haye considerably more than
double their production. The statistics for
1892 are now in, and they show total of
27,0s3,322 pounds, equal to 1901 tons,
against a total production in 1891 of 12,004.-
s3s pounds, equal to $3.50 tons.

In other words, while under the tariff Of
1883 about three-eighths of the nations i'm
ports were admitted free and fve-eighths
were subjected to tariff duties, under the
Mckinley law more than half the imports
are free and less than half are dutiable.
The three general deductions which may
be made-not from theoretic assumptions,
but from the demonstrated facts and figures
of experience-are:
First, that the Mckinley law has reduced
the national revenue $50, 1000, 900 annually.
Second, that under the Mckinley law the
foreign trade of the United States has at
tanned to unprecedented proportions.
Third, that under the Mckinley law the
foreign trade of the United States is not
only fuller, but freer.
No wonder that silence has suddenly en-
veloped the very men who for two years
poured forth an incessant stream of abuse
and Misrepresentation against the tariff act
at time when it had not yet been tested by
experience, and its operations were purely
problematical.
