BIG BUSINESS BEING DONE
,Buffalo, N. Y., despatch: The oper-
ations of a well organized gang of
smugglers who have, it is alleged,
brought hnudreds of Chinamen into
the United States over Niagara
River were disclosed to -day by James
Fox, .years old, white on the wit-
ness stand. Fox was placed under ar-
rest while riding on a street car
with a. "contraband" Chinaman
named Bock Can. Upon the advice
of his mother, Fox told the authori-
ties he would., make a clean breast
of all he knew about the smuggling
of Chinamen in this vicinity.
During hie examination Fox told
the authorities that there were re-
gularly organized firms in Canada,
who make it a business to 'bring
Chinamen across the Pacific to Van -
Louver, thence by: rail to Toronto,
and finally, across the border into
the United States. Upon the testi
mony of Fox the Federal anthori-
tice have arrested George L<<'..3 udsen,

the men who are believed to be res-
ponsible for the email of Madonia„
the matt whose body: was found in a
barrel in the east side a. week ago.
was found to -day by Cillef Flynn, of
the Secret Service, in the form of at
letter written by the arta who was
stain to Morello, who is declared by
ilir. Flynn to. be the chief of the
band of alleged counterfeiters.
This letter, which was turned over
to Assistant District Attorney lar -
van, is considered by him so impor-
tant that he declares he will not
even produce it at tite inquest, which
will begin before Coroner Scholor
next :Monday, out will hold it in re-
serve for the actual trial of the men.
"Written from Pittsburg on Marelt
2:)rd, the Tetter contains evidence of
tete close connection which existed
between Morello and ilLtdonia. It
alhpears that Vito Laducea, accord-
ing 'to evidence obtained by Cillef
Flynn, went to ;P'ittsburg some time
ago, and wail two companions was.
arrested oti a charge of passing
counterfeit money, Laducca was dis-
cltau'ged, but the other two were ,
held for 'trial.
It here devolved upon Madonia, who i
was then in. Buffalo, to go to Pitts-
burg and look after the interests of
these two men, but it would appear
from his letter to Morello that he
was not satisfactory 'to the chief
of the band. At a,lly rate, in, the let-
ter he announced his intention of
returning at once to Buffalo, blam-
ing Morello for trot hoaxing fulfilled
certain promises he had made, the
exact nature of which does not ap-
pear. Throughout the letter there
is evidence of bad feeling 1hettveen
Morello and Madonia.
It was in Morello's trunk, in the
a.ttie 'of No. 173 Clu•ystie street,
where he lived, that the letter Wats.
found.. There was also Potted a page,
evidently. Vern on t of a book, on
which appeared the name of Madon-
ia.,. written In red int., teitli hl t Buf-
falo address. The fact that Madonlat
vas a member of the halal of coun-
terfeiters nad been established 'by,
