3 ARRESTED AT THE BIDDING OF YEE GEE Two Treasury Officials Taken Into Custody at Seattle. ALLEGED SMUGGLER RETALIATES. Special Agent Lewis and Dr. Gardner Charged With Robbery. SEARCHED THE HOME OF THE MONGOL. Carrled Away Papers to Ba Used In Prosecuting the Puget Sound Ring. Special Dispatch to TiE CALL. SEATTLE, Wasu., Oct. 12.—Charles E. Lewis, speciai employe of the United States Treasury Deoartment, and Dr. J. E. Gardner of San Francisco, Chinese in- terpreter for the United States Govern- ment, were arrested in this city to-night on a warrant sworn out by Yee Gee, who was official Chinese interpreter for J. C. Saunders while he was Coliector of C oms. The warrant charges them with robbery. They will go to Port Townsend 10-morrow to answer to the accusation. Wariants are out for tne arrest of Spe- cial Treasury Agent Georze W. Whitehead and Sjecial Treasury Agent Leslie Cul- lom. Whitehead is now en route to the Est, ing left this city last Saturday night for Washington City. Cullom is in Chicago. He wiil return, but it is not known for a certainty whether or not Whitehead wil! come back. His mission to Washington is to place before the Treasury Department certain matters which have come to his attention. It is said they relatel to the case on which he | has been working since he came West, but their nature has not been made public. The arrest of Lwis and Gardner was Kept very quiet, and there were not half adozen people in the city who knew any- | thing about it. Those who know Yee Gee and who claim to be scquainied with the details of the case say the Government officers find themselves in a serious pre- dicament, out of which it will be hard for them to extricate themselves. Yee Gee charges them with having robbed his house at Port Townsend of several pric vate letters and books. It has been rumored for some time that the arrest of | the Government officers was contem- plated, but no one believed that Yee Gee would be so bold as to make a move against the Government officials, who are packed by all the ers of the United States Treasury Department. There were not many details known in this city to-nighi in connection with the issuing of the warrants. Ii was stated that Yee Gee had gone to Port Townsend and placed his signature to the izforma- tion filed before Justice of the Prace Bnos Snyder. ‘The warraais were brought to this city, and Constable Pike was instruct- ed to serve them. He found Gardner and Lewis in this city, and told them they were wanted at Port Townsend for rob- bery. Good lawyers who are acquainted with the present case say that the Government officers under arrest are undoubtedly guilty of a techuical robbery. When Whitehead arrived in this city from New York with Lewis to investigate the acts of the ailezed smugeling ring, they very quickly came io the concusion that it would be a good idea to searcn Yee Gee's | place of business at Port Townsend. They went before United States Commissioner Keifer, and Whitehead swore out a sea-ch warrant for Yee Shing's grocery- siore on Washingion stree:, Port Town- send. Instead of entering Yee Shing's piace, it is alleged, they went into Yee Gee's store, which is next door, anl there procreded to help themselves to every- thinz thev thought wou!d aid them 1n showing Yee Gee's connection witn the They took a quantity of his private , which iold, as 1t is clainied by ihe Government officers, many details of the alleged ring. A book containing writing supposed to be that of Yee Gee was seized. Yee Gee's claim is that the officers en- te:ed his place without authority. If the search warrant had called for a search of his place he would not h.ve thought so much about it. The Government officers say, that as a matter of fact, Yee Gee had been interested in Yee Shing’s place, and that he had sold out a few days beiore without letting any one know it, FLAGSHIP BALTINORE [N SERVICE | ered | fresh, H Continued from First Page. hundred workmen, but the admiral was safe 1n makinz his report, for at the time there was not an officer or man at the navy yard to turn the ship over to. Since ti en the repairs to the flagship have been completed, most of her stores shipped and all that bas been lacking has been the necessary complement of men to man her. Last Friday night Lieutenant Stoney and a detachment of 101 men from the Brooklyn Navy-yard arrived at Mare Islana, and it was expected that this inadequate force would be utilized to place her in commission, but as the necessary orders from Washingion were not forth- coming it was supposed the department had decided to adbere 10 its original plan, to await the arrival of the Philadelphia from Honolulu and transfer the latter's officers and crew in a body to the new flagship. To-day’s orders, therefore, were a com- plete surprise, and while nobody can an. ticipate the next move of the department, it is the general expectation that the Bal- timore will cortinue to occupy her present berth at the quay until the Phiiadelphia reaches here, when the transfer of men Wil be made with appropriate ceremonies, By that time she will have received the last of her stores ana will be ready to pro- ceed to sca if it is deemed necessary to order her to Honolulu. The Philadeiphia wiil undoubtedly ar- rive before the close of the week. S S TWO VESSELS 10 REIURN, and Wheeling ANo Aeeded at Honolulu. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 12—It was detinitely announced at the Navy Depart- ment thisafternoon,according to a Herald York own Longer Washington dispatch, that when the cruiser Baltimore leaves for Hawaii, prob- ably rext week, she will ca with her orders to the Yorktown and g0 to Mare Island. ‘The withdrawal of these two gunboats means that the administration is satisfied that the Baltimore and the gunboat Ben- | nington wiil be sufiicient to protect American interests at the islands in the future. It indicates that the temporary need which called the two gunboats to Houolulu has exvired and the Presicent feels safe in directing their return. It was frankly admitied to-day, con- tinues the dispatch, that the only reason the authorities had for sending the gun- boats to Hawaii was because of a fear that the Japanese residents of the isiands, in- st.gated by their Government, might pre- cipitate a riot which would wreck the Dole administration and place them in power unless checked by United States forces. The autnorities believe the presence of & a large ‘orce of American vessels in Honolulu harbor had much todo with the peaceful conditions now obtaining.

So Charles Frohman Hesitates About Sending Cut the Empire <tock Company. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 12—Charles Frohman announces that he is going to send his Empire Theater stock company toLondon during the summer to play in his new Duke of York Theater, instead of sending his company to the Pacitic Coast. Frohman has been quoted as saying he | could get a run of three months in the | British capital, while he would only have | three weeks in San Krancisco; also that | San Francisco could not give returns as | big ss the New York company was en- | titled to. It was added that tbe Alicazar, Morosco’s and Columbia were presen ing excellent plays at pr.ces too cheap (0 jus- tify his company coing wes Al Hayman 1 discussing the subject to- day was inclined not to draw the situation 80 strong s Frohman. -“Of course Mr. | Frohman has made this decision, and 1 presume he koew what he was talking about,” began 3r. Hayman, *'but the pro- gramme as arranged for this -eason will be carried out, nevertheless, as at first in. tended. As to the ensuing season I pre sume there is some doubt. It is true that there arc several theaters in San Francisco which have made prices #0 low as 10 affect big companie- and keep them in the East, However, the Empire plays bilied for San Francisco will be rendered thereaccording to the rrogramme. One of these is ‘Un- der the Red Robe, and there will be at ieast one other play which is fuliy as pop- ular.” Albert Bonner has been here for several days.

Delegation of Prominent Fepub'icans Leave San Francisco for Los #ngeles. ‘LOS ANGELES, Car., Oct. 12—What | does their coming portend? This is the question that is to-nizht agitating the local politicians with reference to the an- nouncement that a delegation of promi- nent Republicans left San Francisco to- day for this city. In the party sre said to be John C. Lynch, Internal Revenue Collector; D. M. Burns, Judge Brooks, Assemblyman Bettman and others Influential in the councils of the party. Among those who are in touch with the situation both north and south of the Tebachapi it is surmised that the leaders from San Francisco are simply coming here to ook over the ground in reiation to the Govarnorship, with the purpose, if matters can be arranged, of eff-ctinz a combination; on what lines no one pre- sumes to say. Thers are no less than eight well de- fined candidates already in the fisld for tue nomination of the Republican con- vention, Tais plethora of timber—and ali of it is admitted to be good—is accounted for by the prevalent opin that the nomination will be as good n eleciion next year, A name that has not heratofore been mentioned in the ne apers in this con- nection is that of Joe Camnbell of the old law firm of Reddv, Campbell & Metson, To Cure a Cold in One Day Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets.

Barnett, one of the passenger-. house in Ban Francisco. Meyers was arrested at a Kearny-sireet lodging- He had for some time been working on a Geyserville ranch, but disappeared at about ihe time of the robbery.

TORF GANBLERS ONDER ARREST Sausalito Officers Raid | the Harrison & Co. Poolroom. Ten Men Given an Opportunity to Plead and Releassd on Bail. Town Authoritles Attempt Once More to Prohibit Betting on Eastern Racss. Spectal Dispateh to T HE CALL SBAUSALITO, Cat, Oct. 12—Town Marshal John E. Creed made a descent upon the poolrnom run by Harrison & Co. in the Buffalo Hotel building on Water street this morning at 10:30 o’ciock and arrested ten men. The gamblers were taken before Reccrder Pryor, where they were released unon giving bonds to appear for trial next Tanrsday. The players arrestsd by the Marshal gave their names as Wiliiam Barnert, Benjamin Burr, Williem Dolard, Pater | Ward, John Lahey and James Jones. Re- corder Pryor held them under $25 cush bail or §100 bonds. The latter were imme- diately forihcoming, and the men went | back to the game. The principals placed under arrest were: William Harrison, Max Cohen, Joserh Belfast and Dick Creighton. The corder fixed their bail at $100 casn or $25 bonds. Thev aiso gave bonds and depart- ed for the pociroom, which began business again as though nothing had bappened. Tue cases of the first six are set for 10:30 o’clock Thursday forenoon, and those of the principals for 4 o'clock of the same day. Alithe men pleaced not guilty, A venire for 150 talesmen was placed in Marshal Creea’s hands to-day, and from this list twelve men will be selected to try the cases of Lahey and Jones. There was no excitement attending the arrests of the gamuvlers. It has been known for some time that this procedure was to be taken and consequently when itcame it was expected. All the excite- ment that has attended this last move on the part of the town officials to oust the poolrooms tock place ai the meeiing of the Trustees last night. Trustee J. M. Kilgarif, who has been the leader in the crusade against the gamblers, seized his hat and left the meeting, saying as he passed out that the whole thing wasa farce and that he was done with 1t and intended 1o wash his hands ot Sausalito's Trustees and the town’s affairs. The various phases of the uation teaaing up to Kilgarif's hasty retiring are in themselves interesting. Kilgarif, when the Trusiees came 1o order, askea rrosecuting Attorney Adolph Syiva what action had been taken 1o arresi the pool- seilers and players under tne new ordi- nance. Sylva stated that no action had as yet been taken; that they had delayed 50 as to {ollow the board’s instructions. A discassion then arose as io how many arrests should te made, and Kilgarif said that atleast 100 should be arrested, but the other members of the board thought that the expense to the town would be too great, as $20 for each case woula be about what the town would be taxed. General Dickinson opposed wholesale arrests, and the board, over Kil;arif's objections, in- structed the officers to make but ten ar- rests. Kilgarif then grew indignant end walked out. The board resclved to meet again next Thursday night. when any ac- tion as to making more arrests will come up. Another important subject was the con- sideration as to whetner Westerson’s and Dean’s licenses should be revoked bécause the poolrooms were condueted in their re- sorts. It was finally agreed that further action should be taken next Thursdny night, but if in_the meantime the pool- rooms close the licenses will not be inter- ferea with. The poolmen who werearrested to-day say that the town ordinance is inwvalid and that they cannot be punished. The arrests did not have the slightest effect on the playing and tue sport gces on as lively as ever. Condition of the Treasury. WASHINGTON, D.

Re- | YOUNE CHANLER N AN ASTLUN His Appears to Be a Hopeless Case of Paresis. EHe Sleeps by Day and Walks About the Grounds i at Night. Strange Afflictlon of the Man Who Was the fFlrsl Husband of Amelia Rives. pecial Dispatch to THE CALL. | NE YOR Y., Oct. 12.—John | Armstrong Cuanler, great-grandson of John Jacob Astor, and formerly husband |of Amelie Riyes-Chanler, was taken to Bloomingdale Asylum six montbs ago. His frienas spread the report that he bad gone to Europe and it was said 2t his law office in the Equitab.e building to-day | that be was stili udbroad. Amelie Rives, whose divorce from Mr. Chanler was obtained in a mysterious manner, as was his commitment to Bioom- ingdale, and who on February 18, 1806, was married to Prince Troubeiskoy, be- came a meital wreck last Jone and was taken to a sanitarium in Philadelphia. Later it was announced that she had re- covered her health. Mr. Chanler married the author soon alter her book, “The Quick and the Dead,” made a sensation in the literary world. No two persons in all the couniry were more talked of wnen they went abroad for their honeymoon. Now both are under treatment for mental disorders. Mr. Chandler occupies a suite of rooms in Macy V.lla, attactied to Bloomingdale | Asyium. When he tirst went there he was {vely at times, hking to iake long drives. He commanded the finest horses in the Biooming ale stable, and when the driver £Ot out of sizht of the asyinm ordered the beasts speeded to the utmost. He woula ing 1o the seat and shout with gies hen the horses did a particularly good ct w it Of iate Mr. Chanler’s malady has taken a different form. He is quiet and morose and refuses 1o see visitor+, turning away even Lis most intimate friends. He will talk to no one but his atiendant, and the attendant is with him continually night and day. He reads the newspapers and an occasional book and often writes for hours at a time. An extraordinary deveiopment is his desire 10 sleep in the daytime and prowi around the asylum grounds at night. All day long the curtains of his room are drawn. When the eiectric light is turned on at night he rises, takesa bath and then leads his attendant a merry chase, lasting sometimes for hours. He speaks to no one he meets on these night rambles and his secems like a hore- less case of paresis. From property handed down to him from ihe Astor family he has an income of more than $30,000 a year. TRACY GAINS SUPPORT. Republicans of Greater ANew York Find Many Causes of En- couragement. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 12.—Senator Platt <aid to-day that he was more confi- dent than at any time during the cam- paign that General Tracy, Republican can- didate for Mayor, would be etected. In a fewdays he will give his reasons in a statement wnich bhe is preparing. Among the many causes for encourage- ment to the Republican leaders is the growing strength of the Henry Georze movement. At first it was thought that Mr. George represented and would get the voies only of those who shared in his peculiar economic ideas. That was the Tammany leaders’ estimate of hisstrength It tarns out, however, that Mr. George is drawing his main support from the Tammany ranks. He will get, it is pre- dicted, thou<ands of votes from those who are diszusted with Tammany and Croker- ism, and if Charles W. Dayton, the former Postmaster, is nominated for Controlier on the George ticket the Van Wyck ticket will be cut generalyand severely. The Tammany men admit this, The situation had a very roseate look to- day. General Tracy has gained strength | within the last few days.
