SMUGGLING THE WILY CHINEE. The l ulled Stales iimnigraI inn inspectnrs along the Mexican border are convinced I hat scores of Chinaluen enter lliis couulry unlawfully every mnnlh I'min Mexico ami that for several years a well organized underground railway scheme lias heen in operation to net the Celestrals across the line. Americans are believed to lie at the head of this movement, says tin? Kansas City Star. It is only oceasionly that contraband Chinamen arc apprehended. All sorts nf devices are made use of to conceal the Chinamen and to guide them into the iulerinr nf I he I'nited Stales. where there is little danger nf their unlawful entry iutn the country being disenvered. Chinamen are being lauded by the bnatlnad every few weeks nt the pnrls of Salina Cruz and Manzatiillo, Mexico. Notwithstanding the fact thai they come direct from China il is a matter of common observation that most of these new arrivals on Mexican soil have a speaking knowledge of the English language when they get off the boat. Upon many of them are found English dictionaries. They continue the study of English after reaching Mexico, and in a short time they are ready to make such a good showing in speaking the language that should they be questioned on this side of the border thev would readily pass as having resided for some time in the United States. A. f{. Bernard, 0. 0. CJonzalcs and Oscar F. Miller, three American im migration inspectors, were patrolii I. I In; border in New lloxito recent when they liappened to slop at tl i home of a ranchman whom they km." - This ranchman lold (hem (hat a cove 1 ed wagon, drawn by a team of go< horses and driven hy a white ma liad passed that way two days bel'o . and (hat while the while man wj 1 watering his horses (he ranchimi happened lo glance info (In? bed < - I I he wagon and saw a number of < 'h I tiamcn lying therein. The ranchman suggested to (he in miyrat ion inspectors that (lie Chiiii nieu were being smuggled from Mex co to some interior point in the Uni : ed Slates. The inspectors immediati | ly mounted their horses and slarlr j mi the trail of I Ik; wagon. The ii ! spnetors kept up the pursuit for llm days and nights, ami finally came i sight of the wagon near the littl town ol Tularosa. The canvas covt was closely drawn. One of the ir speetors lode up on one side of tli wagon, another on the opposite sid and the third brought up the rem A while man s;il upon (he sent i front drivim; the horses. "Hello, slramrer!" saiil P.ernan I" where are yon Iraveliny?' Ihe driver did not seem inclined I ilake any notice of ihe question, hi < when il was asked him :i secon : time he replied that he was yoiny I I his ranch, located above Tularosa. I | ''What have yon in your wayon? i j Mernard asked. j I his was a pointed question, bu , seeing thai Mernard and tlu- olhc 'two men were armed the ilriver ai . I swered : j "I've L'ot a miirhly sick wife hac mustn't be disturbed. This talkin is there," jerkiny the thumb of on . t hand over his shoulder to indicat | tiiat s!ie was lyiny down in i he wayo , bed. "I've had her down to Alalia' I yordo, 1 >111 the doctors don't seem I ; do her much i?ood. | " That's loiiyh," said T?ernar? jwifh a feigned tone of sympathy i i i his voice. "That fellow there.' 1 poiniiuy to (Ion/ales, '"is a nti.'ht ' yood doctor, suppose yon hi hit look at her." "Oh. no," Ilia ilriver replied. "Sli , liable to excite her, and 1 guess yo fellers had better ride on." "Not until we've seen that sic i wife of yours," Mernard answerer ; at the same time levelling his rifle a j I he driver. 'You've go I me," said the man. : | One of the inspectors raised tli > side cover of the wayon and brouyh 'j lo li-lil sixteen Chinamen who wcr - i lying dose together upon hay in tli wayon bed. The while man yave Ih name of \V. Sullivan. Me and tli contraband Chinamen were lake 'hack to Alamayordo and placed i I jail. .; A short time ayo one of the immi i grant inspectors was passiny Ihroui; tlie Iiiy Mend reyion south of Alpim I | Tex., when lie came upon what seem 'ed to be a Mexican camp. II was 1< i cated about 100 yards from the roa i j in a sparsel\ settled reyion. The in (jspector happened to be fe<diuy tli need of a cup of coffee, and kuowin i that the nomadic Mexicans alony tli border always carry a supply wit 'them upon their travels he left tli I road and went up to the camp. Whe j he drew near he saw that there wcr J apparently two or three families o i Mexicans in Ihe party. All wcr idressed in Mexican fashion -some a j old women, others as common lahoi | ers and others as young men and we I men. i The inspector noticed that Severn members of the canipiny parly lmi ried into Ihe underbrush when h drew near, but he attributed this t their diffidence. When he got withi a few feet of a group of men aiv women he asked lliein in Spanish i he could get a cup of coffee. One o the men made answer in the allium ! live, but the inspector quickly detect j ed that the Spanish which he use was slronyly tinged with the Chines accent. Tn another moment the in I spec!or had the whole crowd covere< with his pistol and they were lied t?i J yet her and taken jo the nearest ranc : house, where he received assisiane I and the twelve prisoners were take | to jail. All proved to be China linen who had entered Ihe country tin i lawfulh and were making their wa lo tlu> nearest railroad point in ih disguise of Mexicans. The five o six Chinamen who escaped to the un dcrbrush were not captured. The United States government an ' thorities believe that many China ' men enter this country from Mexic i in sealed box cars, but it is a diffieul matter to discover these violators o > the law without opening and examin : iny every ear. Two freiyht car ship inenls of Chinamen recently were do 1 I teeted. One of these was on the Tex as and Pacific railway near Main' Tex., and I he'd her was at Sandersoi Tex., on the Southern Pacific. 1J,' I TO THE DEMOCRATIC VOTERS. i y i io i 'A> tho I>oiiioorata of South Caroline iv.
