MORE OPIUM SMUGGLING.

Opium smuggling is again. being carried on
extensively on Puget Sound. Yesterday
customs officials became suspicious of some
boxes shipped by Chinese from Port Town
send to Walla Walla on the steamer Kings

opium, and a big haul was made. Last
Wednesday officers confscated forty pounds
of opium, worth 5000, which had been
dropped from the steamer near the shore in
a rubber bag. This is the latest form of the
operators. The confederate got scared, and
the opium foated ashore where the officers
found it.

ANARCHISTS DISPERSED.
Tried to Cause a Disturbance at
BOurdin's Funeral.
RI, CnTle fo the Unified Press

LONDON, Feb. %, 1s94.-The burial of
Martial Bourdin, the Anarchist who was
killed by the premature explosion of one of
his own bombs near Greenwich Observatory
on the night of February 16, took place this
afternoon The hearse started from the
place where the body has been lying in st.
Pancras at twenty ty-seven minutes to two P.
NJ Only one carriage followed the hearse.
Large crowds filed the roadways, some in
expectation of witnessing an Anarchist
demonstration and others intending, if pos
sible, to participate in one. The police were
out in force prepared for any emergency.
There was no sign of disturbance until the
hearse reached Marylebone road, where a
vast throng awaited the arrival of the body
of the dead Anarchist. At this point some
one in the crowd hoisted a red flag with a
black border. This was the signal for an
outcry, but the police quickly checked the
rising storm by charging upon the crowd,
scattering them in all directions, and tearing
down and carrying away the offensive en-
blem. A strong Gordon of police thereafter
protected the street from further invasion,
and nothing further disturbed the quiet
passage of the hearse, carriage and followers
on foot to the place of burial.

KISSED AND APPLAUDED.
Unusual Proceeding at a Washington
Birthday Celebration.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Feb. %, 1894 Rev
DR. McLane of the College street Congre-
gational Church, was given a rather unusual
reception at the Washington Birthday exer-
cises yesterday in the Hyperion. He was
one of the speakers and in the course of his
address said that the time will come, under a
democratic form of government, when the
wealth of the country will not be in the
hands of the few, when every man will have
an honest portion of the goods he produces
This was greeted with applause, mingled
with Kisses.
''If there is a millionaire out there hiss
ing,n exclaimed the reverend gentleman with
great warmth, s'let him hiss. | say this not
to win applause but because it is Gods truth.
Millions Of men have been ground down by
the millionaires, but the spirit Of honest
patriotism will not stand it forever lap
pause and more hissesl. Hiss il you will
but it will come. Not by revolution, | hope,
but come it within some manner because
come it must"
This was greeted with loud applause and
vigorous Kisses. It is hard to understand
why Mr. McLane was hissed, and the affair
has caflsed much talk

BRITAIN HUMILIATED.
Much Talk of Admiral Benham's
Action at Rio.
By Gable to the United Press.

BY Cable to the Unlted PresS.
LONDON, Feb. 23, 1s94-The Pail Mall
Gazette, commenting on the application of
the captain of the British merchantmen
Nasmyth to obtain supply of water in the
harbor of Rio de Janeiro, says
'If the commander of the British feet at
Bio does not propose to protect British sub
jects following lawful vocations, it IS dfffii=
cult to understand why he is there at ALL"
The St. James Gozette says:-"Surely
Lord Rosebery does not acquiesce in the doc
trine that the sole right of intervention be-
longs to the United States. That British
sailors should be compelled to seek the pro-
lection of Admiral Benhan is humiliating in
the extreme"
The Globe says:-"Admiral Benham is
doubtless at liberty to bully the insurgents
as much as he pieases But that is quite a
different thing from offering most injur-
ious insult to the British navy. Unless the
story of his putting the Nasmyth under the
protection Of the American flag is untrue, it
should be the duty of the British Govern
ment to demand an immediate apology from
the Government of the United States for the
extraordinary conduct of its officer"

guish twinkle in his eye said: "Mr. Mod
orator, want to ask the taxpayers to
think a little while before we appropri-
ate SO much money as we did last year.
What is de use of supporting high
school in this town if the childrens spend
their time learning how many legs a
straddlebug has got, when they can't
answer some of the simplest questions.
