SR | SEATTLE, WasH., Sept. 16.—The United States treasury cofficials showed their bands to-day at the preliminary hearing of Yee Gee, charged with conspiring to illegally | land Chin in the United States. The hearing has not yvet ended, but suf- ! ficient evidenca was presented to show tLat while ex-Collector of Customs J. C. Saunders and his corps of deputies were apparently at work night and day hunt- ing for contraband Chinamen and | smuggled opium, Yee Gee, the Collector's interpreter, was bringing his countrymen into the United States by the whclesale, and on certificates which he forged. The treasury officials have seized doz- ens of letters whicb completely exnose the conspiracy, and over his own signa- ture the clever interpreter admits that he has landed almost a thousand Chinamen appointments is composed as follow: | dent of : | January; J.

Every one was passed by ex-Collector Saunders and are now scattered about the United States, each with a forged certifi- cate that would pass for genuine under | the eye of a Gov.rnment official trained in the knowledze of Chinese erookedness. Yee Gee dealt with a San Francisco | | house and a Victoria house. In one letter he states that he smuggled in 510 China- men for the San Francisco firm, receiving | $230 for each. They came from China, For the Vic- | toria (B. C.) people be brought in, he | says, 880 Chinamen, receiving $150 | apiece. They came from British Columbia pecnle. -Collector Saunders’ name is mixed | up in the eized letter-.

Gee’s part of the business w2s appar- enily to furnish the Coilector with cat factory answers to the questlons pro- pounded and to prerar: Lhe certificates | necessary for the admission of the Chi- | | nese, These certificates purported to show that the Chinamen had leit the country from some other port and were duly ac- | credited mercbants and entitled 10 admission into the country. Letters written to Yee Gee by his man | Francisco partners, the Hang Lee Com- paoy, indicate that Gee was furnished | with the names of the men and their pic- | tures. From these he forged the certifi- | | cates and handed them to the Chinese | who were to be brought in. i In the first letter, dated San Krancisco, December 3, 1896, Tung Jung, who writes tor the Hang L e Company, says: I have your favor in which, spsaking of con- tracting 1o safely land Chinese in the United | | States, you mention the sum of $230 as the sum you want for each passauger. You can name any firm you please for me to | deposit the amounts with. The moment you | notify me it will be Cone. Youcan notify | your partters in Hongkong to furnish the | passage money.

This is to bedistinctly understood, and there is 10 be no going back on oune’'s word. If this arrangement be mgreeable all round let me know immediately ana I will forward photo- graphs to you, from which you can make the certificates, and every thing will be right. Another Jetter written by Tung Jung from SBan Francisco, and daied December 29, 1896, shows that the Chinamen were ianded and the money deposited in Geeo's favor.

TOLARE AND THE | TALLEY ROAD Great Preparation for the Advent of the New Line. | of his appeal. All Righ's of Way Secured to Ba Made On=» of Ganeral R Jolcing. | TULA RE, CaL., Sept. 16.—Progressive | Tulare is getting ready for the advent of | | the Valley road. The right of way com- | mittee has practically completed its work | and nothing can now be done to check the oncoming of the new road. The City | Council has granted free right of way have been removed therefrom and the | people are prepared to give the competing line a warn{ greeting. No date has yet been s>t for entrance into Tulare of the Valley line, but when that day comes it will be made one of re- joicing. By its failure to reach Tulare at an earlier date it has- missed one of the best seasons ever experienced here. More fruit, stock and grain have been sentout from this city this season than ever be- fore in the history of the valley. Tulare City asa fruit center is rapidly coming into prominence and fruit men throughout the State are realizing that the grade of fruits raised near Tulare are of a decidedly superior quality. Her peaches, plums, nectarines, apricots and prunes are becoming famous for quality as well as quantity; her raisin vine- yards cannot be excelled, and her ship- ments are being enormously inoreased. Had the Valley road reached Tulare in time to handle this season’s business it is safe to assert that it would have reaped a rich harvest. Tulare’s enterprising citizens welcome the coming of competition, for in this they see for themselves a larger margin of profit, but they are not as resentful and vinaictive toward the poweriul Southern Pacific monopoly as are some of the locali- ties in the San Joaquin Valley. The paop.e of Tulare are for prosperity and as the ‘‘wave” rolis on they are not disposed to ho!d up their hands and at- tempt to check its onward move. Theold monopoly has undoubtedly “hogged’’ it in tke past, but under similar circumsiances human nature the world over has many pigzish characteristics, Tulare has *‘been on the map” for some vears, and aithough she has had much to contend with—depression and carkness, drouths and Populists—she is still in the procession and nothing can impede orstay her progress, THE CALL speaks for all Tulareans who are taking an interest in advancing InE | CALL'S campaign of progress. With thou- sands of acres of incomperable fruits and gra.n, and with the Valley road to aid ner, | Tulure is assured of a brilliant future. | | SONOR.'S NHOG.ING AFERAY.

The buliet, which entered at the right shoulder-bade and lodged in or near the spinul column, though probed for by the county physician to-day, bas not been extracled, and it will most probably be some few days before the doctors will be ing the probabilities for his recovery, though it is certain that at the best he will be cripplea for life, SR v oef il Fatal hunaway Near Somora.
