WHISKY SMUGGLING
CANADA TO STOP TRAFFIC. OTTAWA, June 12. Canada has completed a liquor treaty with the United States that is expected greatly to reduce the amount of whisky smuggled across the boundary into American cities. There is to-day a great fleet of small steamers running out of Vancouver and Victoria, clearing officially for Mexico or Peru, but they never reach their destinations. They lie off Portland, San Francisco, or Los Angeles, and transfer their cargoes into waiting motor-boats. Under the new treaty this traffic will end, because clearances will be denied to vessels that cannot furnish satisfactory evidence of the destination of the shipments. In return, Canada will get the right to transport liquor through Alaska into the goldfields, in Canadian territory.
