SMUGGLER'S PARADISE.
How Chinamen Gain Access to the United
States.
Looking at the map one may see that
the northwest corner of the state of
Washington is torn off, and the space
mat, is leit, is niiea with water, dotted
witn an archipelago. The island of
Vancouver fits partially into the g-apine
corner as if it had been torn out by
some gigantic convulsion. The tatters
and debris of the rent form the archi
pelago. Our national interest centered
in that corner long afro when that nor-
tion of the boundary was in dispute, and
the tension of a war feelintr was onlv
relieved when a foreign arbitrator set
tled the boundary, and gave us the
island of San Juan, the most important
in the group. The city of Victoria,
writes Julian Ralph in Harper's Marra-
zine, confines nearly all tho population
on that corner of Vancouver island: the
city of Vancouver is the main settle
ment on the British Columbia shore.
and on our borders are such little placce
as Whatcom, New Dungeness. and Port
Angeles, in the state of Washington.
Port Townsend, on Puget sound, is the
principal American town near by, and
me neadquarters of the scanty force of
customs officials who are supposed to
guard against the smitforli:.?, :md who
are entitled to the presumption that
they are doing their best in tin;; direc
tion. Victoria has only twenty thou
sand population, Vancouver fewer still,
and the islands only here and there a
house. Deer abound upon these islands,
which are heavily timbered, and the
waterways between them f jel the kgels
of but few vessels of nono nt all. ex
cept the smallest craft, outside the main
channels. It would be hard to imagine
a more difficult region to police, or a
lairer field for smugglers. Old London
itaelf has scarcely a greater tangle of
crooked and confusing thoroughfares
than this archipelago possesses, and
these waterways are so narrow and
sheltered that mere oarsmen can safely
and easily travel many of them. It is a
smuggler's paradise.
Those who transport the Chinamen
are all white men. The resident Chi
nese act as their confederates and as
the agents of the smuggled men, but do
no part of the actual smuggling, that if
to say, the boating. The great smug
gling is of opium. The introduction of
the Chinese themselves is of small ac
count, so far as the defiance of our lawf
is concerned, as compared with the in
troduction of opium. Yet that exten
sive business also is carried on by white
men. The Chinese can not pass to and
fro as white men can,' therefore they
leave the traffic to the whites.
These white men are of the class one
would expect to find iu such business.
A government employe '.n Victoria told

tain any proof that any oum""' "

The Plucky Texivn Who i!ullt the Arkansas
Pass llond Did Hood Financiering.
Pmin South Texas came a man who
built six hundred miles of railroad with
five-dollar bill and faith, and the bill
was a borrowed one. lie moved up irom
Corpus Christi to San Antonio with all
of his possessons heaped on a two-
wheeled cart, according to tne St. JjOuis
Globe-Democrat, lie got a charter to
build a railroad from San Antonio to
Arkansas Pass. lie graded a mile of It,
throwing a great deal more than one
shovel of dirt with his own hands. The
receiver of another road loaned this in
defatigable builder enough old rails
for a mile of track. In a distant part 01
the state was purchased an old engine
which had been condemned six years
before and sent to the shops to be
wrecked for scrap iron. Two old cars
were nicked up somewhere else at a
bargain. And that old engine, drawing
those old cars, steamed into Ban An
tonio. On engine and cars in bold let
ters were minted in lamp-black: "S. A.
and A. P." With one mile of old rail
track and with the equipment of the
old engine and two old cars Uriah Lott
started the Arkansas Pass system. There
has been some tall financiering in the
history of railroad building in thiscoun
t.rv. but there isn't anything which for
dazzling pluck quite approaches the
Ktirv of the building of this six hun
dred miles of road in South Texas. To
the one mile of track three were added
three miles by a dicker for some second-hand
rails which & Btreet car com-
nanv had bought from a narrow guage
company. On this basis a credit was
made with a Pennsylvania rolling mill
for ten miles of rails. Whentneyar

Tllio lo ll,n J-- r .
" luuui just orr irom the sen
ate chamber which is used as the office
01 tne .m president In the senate
wmg of the capital there are two rooms
set apart, one for the president and one
for the vico president. The former is
but seldom used, while the latter is used
daily as an office and contains some
very interesting relics. The former en
trance to the vice president's room, just
outside the lobby, has been for some
years closed, and the little alcove made
thereby is now used as a wash-room.
This little place contains one of the
most interesting relics in the room. It
is a small mirror two and one-half feet
by eighteen inches wide and was pur
chased by the senate for John Adams,
the first vice president of the United
States and the political
of Washington. It has a very ordinary
gilt frame and is made of poor materiaL
Still, it caused a great controversy in
the senate at the time of its nureha
some of the senators objecting to the
price, which was forty dollars, saying
that the amount was entirely too much
for the government to expend for a
mirror, even for a vice president, and
only after a lengthy and interesting
debate was it decided to purchase it.
A ne mirror has received every care
and is now in almost perfect condition,
having been for the last fifty years in
the care of the vei .jrable Capt. Hassett,
Wffhfey; Rttd-fcit a-tri.l.l .
and manufacture niinseu. wu unt.
the walls of the room is a painting of
George Washington, and this painting
is considered the best of Washington in
existence. It was executed by Hem
brandt Peale in 1795. Peale had three
sittings of Washington, and at that
time dentistry was not practiced as
scientifically as it is at the present day,
and it is a historical fact tnat at eacn
of these sittings Washington used raw
cotton as a substitute for false teeth, so
as to fill out the mouth and cneeics.
This gives his face a very determined
look, and not the peaceful expression
with which he is generally credited n
portraits.
Above the painting, rolled up on its
staff, is a large silk American flag. In
1885 this Hug was presented to the sen
ate by tho Ladies' Silk Culture associa
tion of Philadelphia. The weaving and
the making of the flag was ail done in
the United States, of tho finest of silk,
superior even to tho imported articlo.
On the riifht and lvft of the painting
are marble busts of Lafayette S. Foster
and II uiirv Wilson. The former was a
senator from Connecticut, and wits, at
the death of Mr. Wilson, who, during
his terra as vice president, died from
nlexv in this very room, elected oy
the senate as vice president pro tem
pore. Near the wash-room, is a very
handsome gold clock, which was pur
chased by Vice President Dallas, and
which refuses to keep good time.
There is also in the room a large mir-
passion flowers and other tropical
plants and blooms abound but you
meet few people, and those are mostly
women. The grassy streets, according
to a Paraguay correspondent, have a
sad, deserted look, constantly remind
ing one that the sons and husbands
and lovers and brothers perished on
the battlefields or died of starvation in
hiding, or rotted in prison, as thou
sands did who were ignorant even of
wnat tney were accused, or were tor
tured and murdered by the three ty
rants who ruled and ruined the coun
try. Here women do the work that in
other parts of the world is monopol
ized by the stronger sex such as
cleaning the streets, loading the ships,
orivmg the ox carts, cultivating the
fields, carrying on the markets, etc.,
and it is said that during the long,
hard war, they made the best and
bravest soldiers. Naturally, where
men are in the proportion of one to
seven, they are at a higher premium
than elsewhere, and in Paraguay they
are figuratively kept in cotton-wool by
their admiring female relatives.
