the fact that sftsr many years OF contro-

there is nothing In statistics on the sub

they Were smuEgied into Maine by
Boat From the Provinces.

A despatch to the Boston Herald from
Dannysville says United states Inspector
Miller OF Boston mads an important oap-
turs there Sunday afternoon. It Ii the
elimination of an attempt on the part
OF the secret service men to prevent the
smuggling Of Cinnamon into the United
States across the Maine border.
For several months the sscret service
officials have known that Cinnamon were
being smuggIed into this country from
the Provinces, and they have been on the
lookout at several points. Inspector
Miller spent several days In Bangor, last
week, watching the trains for seven
Cinnamon who, he had been Informed,
were coming to that city from st. John,
via the Washington County railroad.
The Cinnamon had been traced to the
vicinity of st. John, and 1t was figured
that the only way they could get from
there was to be sent from ST. John to
some point ON the coast OF Maine by yes.
sci. AT Bangor. Friday, the inspector
got information that the Chiuamen had
left Sc. John in that manner. and he
took the train Saturday morning.
On his arrival at Eastport ne learned
that the Cinnamon had been landsd at
Lubec and had started toward Bangor.
Mr.. Miller, accompanied by local offic-
ers, returned to Dennysville In the after
noon. The officers went to the Riverside
Inn, and at 8 O'Clock this afternoon were
surprised 20 see the Cinnamon drive up
to the hotel In sleighs. Tue party was
In charge OF Sam Wah Kee. who Is said
to be one OF the richest Members OF the
Chinese colony in Boston, and who. it is
alleged, has become wealthy BY SNUG
CLING Cinnamon into the country.
The officers waited until the party was
seated in tha dining-room and then made
the arrest. The Chfnamea were greatly
surprised, but made no attempt TO resist
arrest. Mah Kee did tho talking for the
party, and he told very Interesting
story OF the methods used In getting the
men into this country.
The Cinnamon landed at Vancouver
several weeks ago, 1t 10 alleged, and pro-
ceeded cast, Wah Kee, it Is said, met
them on their way across the country,
and It was when they had arrived at
Lawrence, n. b., that the secret service
men first secured definite information

come into Maine.
From Lawrence the party went to St.
John, and then to st. Andrews, N. Ii :,
and from there they were taken by vessel
to Lubeo. They arrived there Saturday
afternoon. At that place Wah kee hired
teams, and started to drive with his COM
panions to Dennysville, In one of the
worst snow storms experienced in this
section for years.
The party drove until after dark, and
as the wind was blowing gale, and the
roads were drifting badly Wan kee de-
decided to put up for the mig ht at u farm
house. The journey was continued this
afternoon, the intention being to remain
here tonight, and proceed to Bangor
Monday morning.
The Cinnamon will be taken to the
e astpnrt custom house tomorrow. There
plans for disposIng Of the case will be
made,
The Portland daily press., 1901-01-15

Ths arguments in the cases affectin g
the status of our new possessions are all
In, but decision may not be given for
several months. There is much specula-
ton, OF course, as TO what the decision
will be, and some inferences are sought
to be drawn as to the opinions OF the
justices from the questions they asked
counsel during the arguments. 1t seems
to be the universal opinion that the
court will divide. 1t is inferred from
the character of their questions that
justices Brown, Brewer, Harlan and
White are against the contention OF the
government. while Justices Mokenna,
Shiras and Gray are on its side. Appar-
emily neither Chisf Justice Fuller nor
Justice Peokham asked any questions
from which an inference could be drawn
either way. Doubtless some Significance
can be attached to the character OF the
questions asked. but it Is easy to exag-
gerate 1t.

MOMEN UNDER A REPUBLICAN
FORM OF GOVERNMENT.

To the Editor Of the Press
The advocates of complete enfranohise-
ment of women base their demand upon
the principles underlying all suffrage. II
manhood suffrage Is o mi stake; If voting
is privilege and not Alright; II govern.
ment does not derive Its just powers from
the consent Of the governed If Linooln's
aphorism that ours is government Of
the people, for the the people, and by
Atty. then women have no case. If not,
they see no reason why, as they are gov
erned, ,thsy should not have voice In
choosing their rulers; why, as people,
they are not covered by Linooln's defini-
ton.
In England, where the progress of con-
stitutional government can be most ac-
ourasely traced, there was time when
the Iand-owning aristocraoy controlled
the franchise and elected the membsrs OF
Parliament. The dawn OF EsenFea OF In
Justice In the minds of the mercantile
classes brought with IL demand for the
extension of the suffrage, which was OF
course vigorously oombated. 1t was an
illogical resistance, which ended In the
admission of the uradesmen. Later the
worKingmen awakened to their political
disability and asserted their rights, to be
promptly Antagonlze1 by botn parties in
power, Eventually logic ana justice won.
In the light OF history none OF tha objeo-
lions urged against the extension of the
right OF voting has been sustained tby
subsequent facts On the contrary the
broadening or the suffrage base has been
found TO add stability TO the superstruc.
ture of British government, and TO have
been In the interest OF true conservatism.
In the course of time 1.-THE womanis hour
has struck. Her cause is now going
through the same ordeal. Fifty years
ago the avenues of employment open to
women were few and restricted. Today
in every branch of manufacture and trade
and In the professions formerly monopo-
lized by men, women are actively and
successfully engaged. Every law put
upon the statute book affects their inter-
ests directly and indirectly.
4 It is inevitable, therefore, that, feeling
the pressure Of Legislation under which
they suffer, q new Intelligence should stir
the minds Of women such as stirred the
ouce disfranchised Glasses OF Great Brit
ain.
Every argument formerly used by the
English Tories Is today heard in the
mouths of men who profess a belief in a
democratic form OF government. II shis
whole question 10 considered in the light
of common sense and common justice,
the sooner will -the present wrong be
wiped out and self government be put
upon a broader and safer basis.
