the border is down and some interesting develop ments are expected very soon There lias been no doubt in the minds of the immigration authorities that the guilty parties are connected with the railroad service and it is now believed that they willbe known a short time Bail road officials arc said to concur in this belief and they arc anxious that the be apprehended Chinamen cannot set out box cars nor can they well seal cars it is argued so that men more familiar with the railroad business and possessing the necessary seals and other appliances must be engaged in the business Well Laid Plan All of the Chinamen caught at San derson were supplied with food and pro visions to last them on their intended journey to New York and there are plenty of evidences of a systematic and well laid plan to smuggle them through HELD FOR Ml Steps will be taken to shut off the Smuggling into this country of Chinese in box cars according to Immigration Inspector F W Berkshire who returned here from
