Saila Democrat A (iUEAT CONSPIRACY. A Washington correspondent of the Chicago Timet send. he following to tha paper: The United State treasury department has a job before It that has not been equal cd except by the liristow administration In 1876, when It attempted to put down the great hlsky ling, which had its agents In the White Ilou.e while Gen Grant was president. For six months the ablest detectives in the government's employ have been hunt. lng out the facts In relation to the great opium-smuggling, which lias Its head and center In the l'uget sound district. They have made a report which is appalling. The evljeiice now in possession of the treasury covers a thousand pages of fools cap. It is of so startling a character, In cluding such statements about men of r.a tlonal reputation, that it is almoH incredible. It extends through Portland, Ore., through all the cities along Puget sound, down the line of the Canadian Pacific to the metropolis. It is so enormous in ex tent that the treasury does net know where to begin ist prosecution' and includes so many men of high standing. At least two United States senators are involved and five congressmen. It is the most enor mous combination to cheat the govern ment In its extent and power that was ever known In the country's history. For six months the United States treas Ury has been aware that an opium-smiig-gling was in successful operation on the Pacific coast, It made its details for in vestigation with the utmost care, for it was difficult to find men who could be trusted. Nobody from the section where the work had to be done could be employed, be cause the concern was all-powerful, and if bribery was not sufficient darker means might be employed. Though it is difficult to get any positive information from the government officials enough has been given out to show that jthe full details are tn the treasury's pos session. "We nave full information as to the methods employed," said an officer of the treasury today, "but the difficulty will be in procuring testimony that will convict. The conspirators are American and Chi nese, and though we know who nearly all of them are, our information U not in a form that can be produced in a court. 1 here Is the trouble." "Why is this opium smuggling so profit able?" "Because there is a duty of fi: per pound on the stuff " "Didn't the McKinley bill put this dulv o n opium?" "Yes, it did, and that ! why the busl hess has grown to such colossal dimen sions.'' "Can't the collectors stop it or catch fiome of the smugglers?" "Sometimes a lot of the stuff is captured, but we never can make a case against the smugglers that will hold. All we hare ever h:cn able to do is to confiscate the con traband opium when it is found. When Daniel Manning was secretary cf the treas ury, Col Beecrer.a son of tne great Brook lyn preacher, was appointed collector for the Puget sound district. He had been a Captain in the aitillery of the regular army during war and was breveted colonel for distinguished gallantry. He was a new man, and came out from Biooklyn and t03k hold with vigor. "Before he had been in office three months he got on the track of the ring. He found one lot of opium, about 2,500 pounds, that was in Alaska waiting v chance to be smuggled into the United States. It was in a big batch of canned salmon, put up In two-pound cans, marked "Alaska Salmon." There were nearly When a custom officer proves too efficient and makes too rrany seiurrs or keep too bright a look-out, the all-powerful ring has him removed. This is especially the case with the Puget sound district. This district has given the treasuiy departmcn more trouble than any other in the United Statet. When the removal .1 month ago was made a senator from the Hate of Wasl ington said to the Timet correspondent that he had not asked or accomplished this re moval and that It was not made for any political reasons. The correspondent thought then there was something curious ly mysterious about the matter. He knows what it was now. 1 he government is at a loss just now how to proceed, but it will have to push the case, no matter who is hurt. If the re port the treasury has In its vaults ever omes to light It will be a wonderful nar- lai'vc ui now men nign la tne nation s re spect have been for years In league with the breakers of the nation's laws.

In two months mere he would have ruined the ring and had its ringleader in the peni tentiary, "Ue was offered $30,000 by a man high in a great political party's ranks to stop hunting for opium. He refused the bribe Tnen another tack was tried. Beecher had been appointed during the vacation of congress. The senate was not in session and he had not been confirmed. The big politicians sent their agents to Washington and charges were made against Beecher of some sort. Just what they were I don't know. But the senate committee on com merce would not make a favorable report on his nomination and he was never con firmed." "Were the facts you have stated made public then?" "No. The treasury hoped to catch the smuggleis and everything was kept secret. When Col Beecher was beaten a new man was appointed, but he did nothing." "Do you know who beat Beecher's con firmation?" "No, because the executive sessions of the senate arc ecret, but we know w ho the senators were that caused his rejectnicnt." "And where were they from?'' was asked. "The man who really did the work was from the I'acitic slope.
