that the tariff billpa reported to the

whether tho increased rate Of duty on pre-.

revenue. When the duty on opium was
}12 pound In 1898, the quantity imported on
which duty was paid was 66,67s.S pounds,
valued at S417,66s, and the duty amounted
to $500, 145, while in 1s9e, when the duty was

pounds, valued at 500. S15.45, and the
amount Of duty collected was $741, 261. 76; the
great difference In the quantity reported
in 1893 and 1896 is explained by the fact that
while the higher duty remained, the arti-
Gle was constantly smuggled, so that the
quantity which actually reached the coun-
try was much larger than the statistics Of
imports will show. With duty Of six
dollars per pound there Is not sui1icient
profit for the smugeler to induce him to
engage In such hazardous enterprise. It
may be that a duty Of eight dollars pound
is not so high as to encourage smuggling.

While ON Duty.

Patrolman Of South Bend, Ind, Killed
While ON Duty.
South Bend, Ind, May 13.-Patrolman
Oscar w. Christensen, for many months
a member of the South Bend police de-
partment, was shot and instantly killed
shortly after ten o'clock Tuesday night.
Detective James Millen, of Chicago, for
years an employe of the Lake Shore &
Michigan Southern railroad as a de-
tective, is locked up there on the
strength of the statement of another
detective, Jack Carney, of Elkhart, Ind,
who says Millen did the shooting.
It was at first generally supposed that
tramps killed the officer, as the latter
was on the watch for men who had
broken open Lake Shore & Michigan
Southern freight car at Elkhart, 16
miles east of here. The tramps left the
train at the Michigan street crossing,
and one of them, on seeing Officer Be-;
gen, ran across the common just north
of the track. Christensen started
after him and fusillade of shots soon
began, one ball striking the patrolman
in the face, killing him instantly.
When found soon after he was lying on.
his back, club in hand and hat on. His
revolver had not been drawn. While
the general supposition was that tramps
had killed him, the chief of police had
information pointing to either Carney
or Millen. They were known to have
Ipassed through here to Chicago, and
the chief got them here on subterfuge.
Carney soon after fastened the crime on
Millen. The latter took 1t coolly. He
is said to have killed three men during
the big railway strike in Chicago.
