Tacoma, Wash., April L A forerunner of the biggest scandal in thu customs service that ever happened on Puget hound was the seizure of tho Chinese on the Haytien Republlu in Portland a few days ago. The seizure of the Chinese for being illegally in tho country was an important mutter in itself, especially as the removal of two loeal customs inspectors followed. This however, is but tho lieginutng of thu end. Within a few days it will be shown that, the owners of this steamer were in collusion with high officials of the treasury department in carrying on a gigantic smuggling business The last tlinu the Haytien Republic wa in Vancouver she was fined 6400 for taking opium out of Canada without its having been entered on her invoices. Upon the steamer's arrival on this side of the lino there is no record that even a pound of the opium she carried paid duty. The last time that the llaytian Republic was in Victoria she was libeled for 815.000, which was, as stated in the records of tho court, for prepared opium sold to the owners of the vessel anil which had not been paid for. The steamer was released on bonds being given, and she started on her trip with the contraband Chinese who were apprehended. The above facts aro of record in tho Canadian courts and can easily be .substantiated. Ten tons of prepared tipium is tho amount that this lniat alone has smuggled within the last few mouths under the eyes and with the practical consent of certain high customhouse officials. Now that those in ofiice exp-ct to be ont of a job, they have overdone what in a quiet way has been going ou regularly.
