THE SMUGGLING CASE.
Denial from Admiral Luce and Com.
4 modo'e Schley-The Officers Have Not
Exceeded the Limitation of Law.


NEWPORT, R. l., Oct. 81.
The Daily News, thi. afternoon, which
speaks by authority, says that Admiral Luce
who would not for moment attempt to con-
ceal wrong doing, states that the ANONYMOUS
reports in regard TO smuggling. alleged 10
have been done by officers of the Saratoga
and Portsmouth are grossly and maliciou.ly
exaggerated. He is confident they not even
laid themselves liable to paw duty. If duties
are assessed it will be only for small sum-
The officers could not have found sufficient
money on the cruise to have purchase arti-
cles said to have been bought, and even if
they had, room could not have found on the
snip for one half of the goods alleged to have
been found
Admiral Luce says that no vessel ever ar
rlves from foreign port but what some dis
gruntled person or persons made charges
similar TO those made against the Off GERS of
the Portsmouth and Saratoga While in for
elgn waters, he has, like all other officers,
made frequent purchases of such articles as
he desired, and if he or the officers have
cheated the government it has been done un-
intentionally
he further says that the government al
lows certain liberty in regard to such matters
and it now remains for the department to say
whether or no the officers have. in their pur-
Shoses eACetuSu tue Limitations OF the law.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 81.
Speaking today of the alleged importation
of wines, ETC.. by the officers of the United
States ships Saratoga and Portsmouth, Com
modore Schley, chief of the Equipment
bureau, said there was no attempted smugg-
ling on board the training ships. The Off
GERS did bring over a considerable quantity
of wine with them from MADEIRA intended
for friends on this side who sent for it, with
the express understanding that the duty,
whatever it might be, should be paid. If the
commanding officer had been given an oppor.
tunity, Commodore Schley said, he would
have sent to the customs authorities and
asked for an inspector to come aboard and
make an appraisement of such goods as might
lie dutiable, but the officers were treated as
smugglers caught in the act, almost before
the vessels had anchored, and didn't have an
opportunity to show their intentions.

TROUBLE FEARED.
Election Riots Anticipated in a Texan
Town.

LAREDO, Texas, Oct. 81.
There is imminent danger here of a repiti-
ton of the disastrou. political riots of last
April. Party feeling among the Mexicans is
now at fever heat and some trifiing incident
or insult may again set the Botas to killing
Guaraches. The city council at its last ses
sion enacted an ordinance prohibiting poiit-
cal street parades, and the police have in
structions to scatter crowds gathering on the
streets. The coming election for county
officers, which occurs At the same time the
congressional election, is almost certain to
bring bloodshed and riot, as the Bots and
Guaraches parties have opposing candidates
tor every Office. The particular occasion for
the present state of feeling was brought
about by the arrest, Monday, of ex-Sheriff
Darce Gonzales, capias issued at Austin,
charging him with defacaion, that his ac-
Counts as tax collector of Webb county are
in arrears with the Comptroller of the State.
Gonzales was removed from the Office OF
sheriff, last week, by the county judge, on
failing to account for money due the county.
He is row a cand date of the Guarache party
for reelection AS sheriff aud his recent ar
rest has fired his supporters.

IMPORTANT DECISION
Rendered by Justice Potter of Special
Interest to Musical People.
New YORK. Oct. 81.

NEW YORK, Oct 81.
most important decision has just been
rendered by Justice Potter, which is of es-
pecial interest 10 all musical persons and a
telling blow at union tyranny. Some time
ago musical union objected to the perform
ance of any of their members in company
with an imported oboe player engaged by
Theodore Thomas, and enforced their objec-
ton by fines and threatened expulsion. 1t
was in vain that Thomas urged the fact that
there was no oboe player in the union capa
Bile of playing the music required of him.
The union insisted upon enforcing union
rules. The oboe player in question was per-
fectly wiling to Join the union but was pre-
vented from doing so by the bylaws of the
organization, which made it necessary for
him to be six months in the country before
he could obtain admission to the order. In
this emergency Thomas applied for and OBJ
tained inJuRction, restraining the union from
interfering with its members, or Furnishing
them for playing in company with perform
ers who were not union men. Justice Pot
ter has given a decision IN favor of Mr..
Thomas, the plaintiff, holding that the by
laws of the defendant forbidding members
to play with non union men are In restraint
of trade and against the public policy and
void; he also issues perpetual injunction
forbidding the laws from being in operation
against the plaintiff.

GENERAL NILES ORDER.
The Satisfactory Close of Hostilities in
Arizona.
FoRT LEAvENwoRrH, Kan, Oct. 81.

FORT LEAvENwoRTH, Kan, Oct. 81.
The order of Gen. Miles announcing to his
troops the close of the Indian campaign in
Arizona has just been made public. Lieuten
and p. II. Clark of the tenth cavalry and Pri
vate John Conradi of the fourth cavalry are
especially commended for bravery. The OPP
erations of the campaign since last Anril are
given with the general results, which may be
summarized with the subjugation of the hos
tilites under Geronimo and Natchez aud the
removal of the Chiricahua and Warm Spring
Indians, whose presence has been menace
to the settlements of the territories.
On the Yoquis river and in the district of
Montezuma. on July l3, after following
trail 1000 miles Captain Lawton's command
surprised AMI captured the hostile camp. No
hesitation is felt in pronouncing this steady
tireless march of resOiute men as one Of the
most remarkable IN the history of military
achievements. General Miles then gives the
details of the surrender of various parties OF
Indians, and says that, finding no place of
refuge and with troops in every section, the
Indian leaders desired to see Captain Lswton
and request favorable terms. Their requests
were refused and Captain Lawton was author
lied to receive their surrender as prisoners
of war. The Indians agreed to surrender TO
the department commander and marched
eleven days with Captain Lawton's command
to Skelton Canon, Arizona, for that purpose
On the urth of September they surrendered
| as prisoners OF war, trusting entirely TO the
honor of the officers who bad pursued them
and fought them for four months, and placed
| themselves and their families at the mercy of
the government.

WASHINGTON, Oct. ol.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 81.
Gov. Zulick of Arizona, in his annual re-
port, refers to the termination of Indian trou-
oles in that land as heralding down new era
OF prosperity. He recommends that San
Carlos reservation be reduced one half in
SIZE, or that each Indian be allotted 40 acres.
which would have the same effect of throw
ing much valuable land open to settlement.
Several new railroads are being construct
ed through the territory.
The governor says there are three million
mead of cattle and a million head of sheep,
besides vast number of mules and horses.
are grazing in the territory, and if the desert
lands, which are admirably adapted tor graz.
ing, could be irrigated, Arizona would be-
come the greatest stock-raising country in the
United States. Want of water is the only
draw back to its occupation and development.
OF the S6,000,000 acres in the territory which
are mineral and agricultural. two thirds are

Congress should make needed appropriations
TO reclaim this land.

REVEALED By A DREAM.
Peculiar Recovery of stolen Noney-A
Strange story from the Seat of Brother.
ly Love.
PHILApKLPHIA, Oct. 81.

PHILApELPHIA, Oct. 81.
About three weeks ago S3, 1897, the say ings
of lifetime, were stolen from Chas. Csugh-
lin of this city. Mr.. Csughlin, who is over
20 years of age, with his wife, wife's brother,
also very old, and hired man, are the onlv
occupants of his house Mr.. Caughlin kept
the money, Sl97 of which was in gold, and
the rest in greenbscks, in a large pocket
book, which was concealed in an old chest,
and both his wife and himself insist
that no one about the house or neigh.
borhood knew of it being there. The aged
couple did not for a moment entertain a sus-
picion of anyone who belongs about the
house nor any of their neighbors or relatives.
The wife of Edward Caughlin, a son of the
septugenarisn, rushed into the old homestead
on Monday and informed her mother in law
that she had had a dream the night before. in
which she saw the missing money concealed
in the hay lott Old Mrs. Csughlin ridiculed
the idea that a dream could furnish a clue to
the stolen wealth, but her daughter in-lsw at
once proceeded to the loft and soon returned
with S2500 OF the money tied up in a hand
kerchief. The gold and Sll00 of the green
backs, and two gold rings. with the pocket
book, are still missing, Mrs. Csughlin j.,
reports that the money wrapped in the hand
kerchief was found behind one of the ratters
in the hay loft.
1t was reported that fortune teller had
directed Mr.. Canghlin to where the recov-
cred money WAS found, but there is no truth
in that version. He visited fortune teller.
but what she told him was that the stolen
money was in the block in which he lived
This he did not breath not even to his wife
and has had nothing to do with the recovery of
the $4,000. The old gentleman does not even
suspect any particular person of committing
the robbery and has no theory as to how it
was penetrated.

LOCKOUT THREATENED.
Textile Manufacturers Combine Against
Strikers and 5000 People MAY Lose
Their Work.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 2l.

IhiLADELPHlA, Oct. Il.
The Philadelphia Manufacturers Associs-
tion has issued an edict which may close
down nearly all the textile mills in this citv
and vicinity, and deprive not less than 75 900
operatives of employment. The notice will
be posted tomorrow in all the mills owned bv
members of the Philadelphis Manufacturer
Association, declaring that unless the striking
employees OF VIM. P. Troth, Jr., & Co., in
Frankford, return to work before Nov. Sd,
general lockout will ensue to take effect on
that date. This action will represent the
stoppage OF about 100000 per day in wages
The trouble which has led up to this result
originally began by employees in Messrs.
Iroth's mills presenting TO the firm a bill of
griyanees involving several specific demands.
among which were included an increase of
wages representing about nine per cent. the
discharge of the foreman and the discharge
also OF several non-union hands to whom
employment had been given. These demands
were refused by Messrs. Troth and strike
was the result.
Owing TO the Intervention of the committee
representing the local assemblies of the X of
L., to whom the strikers and the locked out
hands belonged the manufacturers were in
duced to open all the mills on Monday. upon
the distinct understanding that the primary
condition to this arrangement should be the
resumlng of work in Messrs. Troth's mills
Ihls condition of the agreement, it is claimed
by the manufacturers. has not been fulfilled
ana as consequence they have decided TO
extend the lockout to all the mills owned by
their members. Up to the present there have
been no indications of permanent settlement
and it is difficult to say what action the
strikers will take in view of this most serious
contingency.
