of entry or not, and the danger that large
quantities of goods may be smuggled into
this country is very great. 1t is probable
that congress will be asked at the next
session to make Porto Rico an internal
revenue collection district in the Southern
states. Until this is done, it is expected
that an effective administration of the
laws will be accomplished only with some

ITALY'S LITTLE KICK.
The state department has made satis-
factory response to the Italian charge
here respecting the alleged refusal of the
Wabash railway authorities to allow
representative of the Italian consul at
Chicago access to the Italians who were
injured in a train wreck and sent to the
Wabasha Railroad hospital at Peru Ind.
DR.. Moorehouse, the railroad surgeon
who was in charge of the injured men,
has reported that they have had every
care and personal attention. He says
the person claiming to represen. the
Italian consul presented no credentials
and appeared to be without proper au-
thoriZation; that any authorized repre-
sentative OF the Italian government was
at liberty to see and speak win every
individual Italian in the hospital and this
privilege already has been aValed Of
1t also has been charged that the ltal-
ians who were killed in the wreck or who
died in hospital were hastily buried in
order to make way with evidence that
might be used as a basis for Gains. Cn
this point Mr. Moorehouse reports that
every effort was made to identi y the
dead, and as these efforts failei, the
bodies were carefully numbered and
photographs were taken of the remains
to aid in further efforts.
