A CORPSE STORY.
San Francisco, November 28. Following the receipt of Information from abroad that a scheme is afoot to smuggle Chinese into America the local director of Immigration in Hawaii, led a, party of searchers over a vessel arriv ing from the Far East and twice ransacked the vessel from top to bottom unsuccessfully. They were about to leave when a searcher in the deepest hold accidently knocked off the top of one of a row of coffins. The corpse proved to be a young Chinese snugly ensconced with his food and baggage, Tea more coffins contained similar contraband. The Authorities are of the opinion they have unearthed a gigantic conspiracy to smuggle aliens which is directed by an agency in the, Orient, which liberally bribes seamen on a per capita) basis.
