CHINESE SMUCGLERS
CLEVER TRICKS TO CHEAT THE
CUSTOMS.
Celestials Are Expert in Dodging
the Revenue Barriers-Some-
times They Fail.
From Chambers Journal.

From Chambers Journal
In all countries the evasion Of fiscal OBJ
legations is considered no wrong, and
passing the customs" is generally re-
garded as a tax upon personal rights. SO
much is this the case that those who rem
der unto Caesar that which is Caesar
generally do so to escape a worse evil, and
seldom Fl ON any moral CONVICTION as to
what is right and what is wrong. In this
one, respect. at least. east and west may
be said to have met. for in no country in
the world has the art Of smuggling
reached a higher standard than in China
and in no part OF China have smugglers
become SO daring or 80 ingenious as in
the famous Canton delta. whose innu-
merable and intricate waterways spread
their welcome arms to shield wrongdoers
and embarrass pursuit.
John Chinaman is born gambler. and
as often as not stakes his acuteness
against lawful authority merely for the
love of play. He reckOns that IL he "gets
through some four times out of five his
account will show balance on the right
combined with the excitement of the
game. That this is the spirit of many is
proved fact. as the same men have
been caught red-handed again and again,
and the mere fact Of their persistlng indi-
Gates that there Is both money to be made
and recreation to be found In the practice.
The heavy duty on opium and the COM
parative ease with which 1t can be secret
ed natu. ally place 1t In the front rank of
desirable contraband, and many ball Of
the seductive drug has found its way into
Canton from that acknowledged base and
happy hunting ground of criminals, the
British free port of Hongkong, without
his imperial majesty Quang Hsu being a
cent the richer.

was pure opium. and each can was worth
about $780, AS he had used or spi led
