Smuggling Is Alleged.
Captain of Detectives Moore ascer
tained yesterday that the prisoner had

here from that place over tha Great
Northern, arriving bare Tuesday night.

prohibits the possession of opium with

penalty Is a fine of 15000 and Impris
onment for two years.
Confiscation Is First.
Gladstone and Schaffs are not known
as having been connected with tha un
derground opium trade. The J30 cans
taken from them Is probably tha big
gest shipment ever made here, and ia
the first to be confiscated since tha
passage of the act. removing tha duty
of ft a pound, and making- the drug
contraband. It Is said this act haa
greatly Increased the profits of tha
business, aa formerly tha drug cost
about tl a pound abroad and could ba
sold here, after the duty was paid for
113 a pound. Since It became contra
band, it usually brings $50 a pound.
The bulk of the drug handled here ia
generally possessed by Chinese, and It
Is supposed that Gladstone's trunk waa
destined to aome point In local Chinatown.
ELECTION MOST ORDERLY
Few Arrests Made Even After Pa
toons Are Opened.
The most orderly election night In
the history of the city waa tha one just
past, aa shown by the police records
up to yestsrday morning. The hours
covered by the election wera almost en
tirely devoid of event so far as tha po
lice were concerned, and even after tha
saloons opened In the evening and tha
election crowds surged through tha
downtown streets, an unusually small
number of arrests were made. Prom
Tuesday night until closing at 2 o'clock
the opening of the saloona at T o'clock
yesterday morning, only five men wera
arrested for being drunk, and tha re
mainder of the night brought only 11
arrests for that cause.
There wer no arrests for disorder at
the polls, and the good-natured crowds
that surrounded the bulletins at news
paper offices an4 other places gave tha
police no occasion to Interfere. Politi
cal differences were settled in all cases,
apparently, without resort to corporal
arguments, there being no arrests for
fighting or assault.
Kxtra duty was done by all members
of the police force, to the extent of
half a day's work, and an officer was
on duty at every polling place, but none
was required to act. Not a whisper
with reference to the election waa
heard In the long session of tha af unlet
pal Court yesterdsy. In which the ac
cumulated business of two daya waa
passed.

FREIGHT BILL IS SOUGHT
Chamber of Commerce Figuring Out
Transcontinental Payments.
Someone has propounded the question
to the transportation committee of the
Chamber of Commerce as to the amount
of Portland's yearly transcontinental
freight bill. There is a multitude of
statistics in the bnreau with regard to
every phase of the rate question, but
when it comes to the figures represent
ing the total sum of cash paid to the
railroads for Eastern freight for a per
iod of a year, there is nothing at hand
to give answer to the question. Inquiry
among the railroad freight agenta gave
rise to a difference of osinlon rana-lnar
from a million to two. million dollars.
The most conservative opinion seemed
to place the amount of the bill for the
past 12 months at $8,000,000. Of this
freight only five per cent. It was de
clared, was of , a perishable character,
the entire balance being capable of be
ing shipped by way of the Panama
Canal when that project is completed.
If the entire amount of $8,000,000 were
to be shipped' via canal It Is stated
that the- freight bill would oe reducea
60 per cent. ' In Dther words, it is
maintained that the rate will only be 40
per cent of the present railway tariff.
This would represent a savins; of 14.-
800,000. Freight rates by way of the
renuantepeo route at the present time
are declared to be 66 per cent of the
railway tariff.
A compilation of the figures repre
senting the amount yearly paid to the
transcontinental railroads will be mad.
for matter of easy reference.
A project is pending to Include the dis
trict of Shadwell, England, with, an area
of 1093 acres, and the district of Round
nay and Sea croft, with S290 acrei. within
tne corporate . limits ox i.eeam, wnicii Al
