Llnglo , supervising special agent of the Treasury Department , in his annual report to the secretary of tlio troasuiy , shows lliat during Iho past liscal year the special agents seized goods to Iho value of fllll.'JJIj , and le- coverodSiJo.COO on account of seizures , lines , duties , etc. A serious question , says the report , Is the greal dlttlculty under present conditions of enforcing the law against smugglers who make Canada and the icpubllc of Mexico the basis of their operations. The number of ofllcors for preveutivoduty upon these long lines of frontier does not exceed twenty and the present eustoms nppropiiation will not admit of any material increase of Ibis forco. Opium lias been smuggled across Iho Can ada line in gioat quantities. The duty of $ li ) a pound prevents legitimate importation of opium , and is Iho essential basis of the smug glers' profit. Hcduco the duty to 1 per pound and his occupation will be gone. But the smuggling of opium is not the only alarinini : consequence following the opening of the rallwavs through Mwitoba. the Norlh- west territory mid Biitish Columbia. Tlio various acts of congress having foi their ol ) jeet Iho exclusion of Chinese laborers from Iho United States are practically nullified by the clandestine inttoducllon of Chinese coming dlrccl from China through the dominion of Canada. The steamers of the Canadian Pacillo railroad land Chinese at Vancouver bthousands. . The Canadian goveinmeiit collects a head tax of f.10 on each Chinese person , and gives him a certificate which enables him to return to Canada without payment of Iho tax a second end time should ho bo detected on entering the United States. Thu courts In several cases have clven the construction that Canuda , and not China , was the country whence these Chinamen came , within the meaning of the Ixw. The effect of this is that Chinese persons once rolurncd to Can ada again enter the country nnd repeated Instances of this kind have occurred. Ihus the object of the Chinese restriction noils pracllcally defeated. OU ) .l.\l > A'BII MUl'llUim. I'rutcHtanl Kplsuopal MlulHtcra DIs- < MHH 1 hc.r KlllOiiu ) . WASIIINOTON , D.

Captain Scnloy today received a loiter fiom the intondonto of this city inclosing another letter fiom Judge of Crimes Foster. In his communica tion Judge Foster grants the request made some tlinu ago by Captain Schloy that our representatives hero oo furnished by the coin t of inquiry with copies of nil depositions made before It in the Baltimore investiga tion. It will bo remembered that this same re quest had been absolutely refused on all pio- vlous occasions. There is no doubt that the Chilian nuthoil- tlos have icjected the London Times' solf- profterpd advice thiough Its sensational conospondont , Thompson , that the United States' reasonable demands bo treated ns a pure bluff , and finding that our government was maintaining a fair but firm attitude , dctorint'iod to moot It half wav.

General Hello , the minister of war , who resigned from the provisional cabi net n few days ago , was presented yesterday with a sword by the ladies of Santiago. Ho leaves the cabinet for no other reason than that ho was recently promoted from a colonel to a general of division. Salvador Urrutia , n well-known ox-colonel of Balmnccda's army , is seriously ill. Ho is still detained as a political pilsonor at the hospital. A largo fire yesterday at Santiago de stroyed several buildings facing the Munici pal theater , which at ono tlmo scorned in dan ger of destruction itself. T.HI.I : \ uun UIIUWK.
