STOWAWAYS.
A BIG TRAFFIC. Received April 17. 1 a.m. PARIS, April 16. A bill has been introduced into Parliament aiming at the suppression of stowaway traffic. Secret agencies exist at Harve and other ports to ship stowaways, to prevent detection aboard, to feed them and to smuggle them ashore at their destination. The degree of comfort aboard varies according to the amount paid to the agent. The traffic is increasing owing to the high fares shipping companies charge. It is stated that 20uu shipped last year.
