Captain of the Vessel Ap- peals For Help at Port Townsend. Twenty Armed Men From the Cutter Grant Go Aboard and Quickly Check the Insubordina- tion. Special Dispatch to The qnll. PORT TOWNSEND, Oct. 1L.—What for a time threatened serious trouble was averted aboard the French bark Gael to- day by the timely arrival of a file of twenty armed jackies from the United States revenue cutter Grant. The French sailors had been insubordinate for some time, and to-day not only refused duty but threatened that the ship would not be allowed to leave until they were per- mitted to go ashofe. The master of the vessel, seeing that the men were obdurate, sent ashore and | engaged a force of longshoremen to raise the anchor to permit the departure of the Gael for Tacoma, where the vessel loads. | When the men started to board the Gael | the French seamen, divining the reason | of their coming, advanced upon the long- | | shoremen and threatened their lives if | they laid hands on the windlass. The Grant was at once signaled and sent an armed forcg aboard, under com- mand of Lieutenants West and Satterlee. The belligerents were at once forced aft and the marines formed a hollow square around the longshoremen, who proceeded to lift the anchor. In the meantifie the Frenchmen, seeing themselves beaten, announced their willingness to capitulate, but the master of the Gael refused to treat with them, and took the longshore- men along to Tacoma. To guard against possible trouble, a master-at-arms and four armed men went on the vessel and will stand guard | until she is safely anchored.

George Clark, another grocer, was sum- moned and with a shotgun soon dis- patched the animal.

McKune has had the animal skinned and Reynard's coat will now serve as a rug. Exonerates Austrasia’s Crew.

ARIS, Oct. 1—The expose and threatened punishment of crook- ed American jockeys has created a sensation in racing circles. A well-known turfman said to-day: “For the past three or four days I have not seen these men browsing in their usual pasture. I cannot say where they are, but perhaps they have been favored with raflway passes on lines leading to neighboring countries. There is a strong impression among many persons connect- ed with legitimate horse racing in France that somebody who was being un- comfortably crowded thought it was wise to give sudden prominence to the names of men who are upright and respectable turfmen in order to keep a shadow of un- certainty over their own heads until the storm passes away. “That there has existed a gang of card men, ready to use any kind of deck, or chloroform, if necessary, or even to crowd the mourners in a dark hallway, is generally admitted. That a horse-pull- ing combination really exists in all its wonders of Morganlike organization is perhaps an open question.” At a certain well-known rendezvous last evening a gentleman who is always ‘“next” said: “I am of the opinion that Tod Sloan, for example, has been more sinned sgainst than sinning. I eaw him, for in- stance, at Trouville, but it surely was mlL crooked baccarat that was occupying his attention. Sloan is not at present wal- lowing in money and it seems to me if he had been having advantage cf things for some time, as reports say, he would be in better shape financially.” This gentleman added, furthermore, that, contrary to rumor, Sloan has not seen fit to slope, but he was still to be found at his usual localities as serene as ever. Herman Pruser, whose name as ‘“‘Preus- ser” was cabled from New York in con- nection’ with the scandal, called at the Herald office last night and requested that he also be set right before the com- munity in Paris and New York. Pruser wants it distinctly understood that his record as a turfman is clear of complica- tions and that he is in no way complicat- ed in the affairs as pertaining to the Paris turf. John P. Korn writes to the Paris Her- ald, denying that he is mixed up in the turf frauds. He admits that he was ex- amined by the police, but states that the latter were perfectly satisfied with his clxplanltlons and told him he could con- tinue. CORPORATION WILL SUE THE STRATTON ESTATE London Company Wants Five Million Dollars Damages for Alleged Mine Losses. LONDON, Oct. 1.—The Ventura Corpor- ation, promoter of the Independence mine at Cripple Creek, Col., confirms the report from Colorado Springs that it is prepar- ing to bring suit for $5,000,000 damages against the estate of W.

DR. KILMER'S SWAMP-ROOT. Passed Gravel Stone as Large as a Pea. ROYERSFORD, Pa, April 1gth, 1902.s Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bing- hamton, N. Y. Gentlemen:—TI had been a sufferer from kidney trouble for about 8 years with pain in side, back and head. About 6 or 8 months ago I concluded to try a bottle of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. To my surprise I experienced a decided relief before I had taken half of the bot- tle, and one morning passed a gravel stone as large as a pea, which I still have in my possession and will be pleased to show to any one who doubts the efficacy of this wonderful remedy. One month ago, finding some of the old symptoms returrfing, I purchased a 50c bottle of Swamp-Root at Dr. Morey’s Drug Store, and before I had taken one-fourth of it I found in the vessel which I had voided during the night a teaspoonful of small gravel stones and sand, the passing of which was immediately followed by relief. JESSE S. BUTTERFIELD I am well acquainted with Mr. But- terfield and know that the above state- ment is true in every particular. DR. MOREY, Druggist. For a sample bottle of Swamp-Root by mail free, write Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bjnghamton, N. Y. Don’t make any mistake, but remember the name, Swamp-Root, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp- Root, and the address, Binghamton, N. Y.. on every bottle. ——————————————— Counsel for the executors have been busy all day preparing the writ of certiorarl for presentation to the District Court. It is expected that this writ will be for- mally issued to-morrow, though the hear- ing under it will not occur till next week. Of Interest to the Coast.
