GAMBLING MUST GO.
The Edict Sent Forth by the
Chief of Police.

Policemen Have InstYacfions 20 Pail
Gambling Housss wherever They Are
Found Open-Indignant sports

Public gaming in Seattle is doomed So
says Chief of Police Thornton. The chief
says he means business and intends to
close up the games 81 all hazard

men have orders that wherever they find .
game TO pull il. / intend 70 keep up the

day II necessary.
Two weIi-known Cherry street gamblers
called on Chief Thornton day or two ago
and announced their intention Of going
out Of business at once, but last evening
they were running their games vide open,
% usual. and there was apparently no IN
tention on their part OF living up TO their
declaration. Captain Barr was detailed to
visit the tigers lair. and about 10 O'Clock
paid visit to the NJ. a n.
Are the boys playing :" said he.
Before an answer was gwen gong
sounded. which Was followed by . great
uproar overhead. scufiling and running
were heard. Captain Barr endeavored TO
90 upstairs, but found the door locked. and
in almost . tvinkling the crowd above
escaped. Captain Barr could do nothing
singie-handed. especially after the lights
went out upstairs, but gave the few who
stood near him on the lower floor to under
stand that the next time the police entered
the NJ. 4 n. the entire layout would be
taken and nothing left
A tour along Cherry street late at night
showed that all the games were closed up
The gamblers stood out in front OF their
lairs and INDUCED in uncompli-
mentary remarks about the new
chief. An hegira was proposed
but other counsel prevailed, and 1t was
thought best to wait and see how rigidiy
the police would in the future enforce the
ordinance. But one dealer was arrested last
night, and he quickly put up his $s5 and
was soon hack at his usual hsunts.
Gambling. In fact, was quiet all over the
city last evening, and after certain
hour very little was INDUCED in. ex-
cept few small games of draw poker in
back rooms. TIE games we're small and did
not amount to much.
Chief Thornton's officers descended upon
Whitechapel women last evening and noti-
fed nearly sixty of the creatures that an
other $40 fine was due the city. Justice
Rivers held an evening session, and all
those who had been arrested came up
and paid the assessment.

ARMY ORDNANCE.
secretary Proctor Sends q Report on
Their Needs to Congress.

Secretary Proctor yesterday transmitted -
the House an answer 70 g resolution OF that
BODY calling for report on the present couds-
ton OF the government works at Rock Island
and the views OF the Secretary Is 20 the pro.
priety, economy and desirabiIty OF utilizing
these works as gun factory for the furnishing
and assembling of heavy ordnance. Incorpo-
rated in the answer to the resolution are re-
ports by Col Whittemore. commanding the
arsenal, who was favorable 10 the project. and
Gen. Benet, who was of the opinion that the
distance Of Rock Island from the presen,
sources of supply Of the forgings from . prov
ing ground. at which the guns can be proved
before issue. and from the sea coast. where the
guns must be mounted, rendered it's location
unfayorable 10 the establishment OF q gun fac
tory.
Secretary Proctor says, in his letter OF trans-
initial: Without approving or disapproving Of
the plans submitted, In my view, the arsenal AZ
Water Nliet should be first completed accord
ing TO the original plan and an appropriation
made for mounting the guns already authorized
by law. There will be needed for mounting
these guns lifts for the larger guns and car
riages Tor the disappearing guns. and IL il quite
probable that il will be desirable b. manu-
facture some OF them at Rock Island and Water
town arse nal and IL may be that provision will
De made Tor heavy guns, so that some Of these
can be assembled at Rock Island. That is an
excellent location, with good buildings and
power, and am IN favor of establishing some
branch Of manufacture there in connection
with the heavy ordnance and field material that
VIII be required. but il il impossible now 10
decide what will be required and what work
can be done there to the best advantage. and I
think II the best part of wisdom and prudence
to complete the work in hand and defer begin
ning the manufacture at Rock Island until We
can Judge better what will be required"

HUMAN "HEAVESo
A Peculiar Disease RACES I'm the Vicinity
of Pennsylvania Town.

Apocular cough has broken out in Pauls-
boro. Pa, which promises to become an cpl
demic. The cough of the sufferer is
prolonged wheezy rattle, like that of horse
suffering with heaves. The latter complaint
has been prevalent among horses this winter,
owing to the damp. heavy atmosphere.
Some think the new aliment is a combination
of the heaves and grip; that persons having
had the grip become subject to conditions
which cause heaves among horses, and thus
become lmpregnated with the bacteria of the
horses disease, and then they revisited by
the grip i'll this new form. Measles also
thought to have a bearing on the matter.
But the cough occasioned by the new malady
deies location, seeming at times to come from
the lungs, but patients complain OF gripping
pains in the stomach and soreness of the throat
while coughing, with little pain in the lungs.
The feet become ice cold during the first day,
which always ends with chill, followed by
rackng pains in the head, complete suspension
OF the functions and great weakness. A sweat
generally breaks out during the night which
leaves the sufferer still weaker. The treat
ment Of the physicians is being watched by the
people with interest.

TURKEYS ALL THE YEAR AROUND
Gobblers Are Killed for the Table Now
In Every Season.

Turkeys are always in season now" said Q
poultry dealer to STAR reporter this morning.
1t was only few years ago that the king fowl
was only sold during the winter season, bu,
now they are sold all the year"
Il suppose they are kept in cold storage for
the summer season." remarked the reporter.
YES, said the dealer, "many Of them are
kept in the cold storage rooms, but they are
also killed and dressed in warm weather. "a
used to be that turkeys were not considered so
good in the summer time and the poultry
raisers did not care to kill them until the fan.
Then, there was no demand for them in the
summer. The season used to close soon after
the last cold snap in the spring and but few of
the fowls appeared after that time. Now there
Is a demand for turkeys all the summer aud
mand."
'how about the prices2" asked the reporter.
AT present" the dealer responded, ''tur-
keys are bringing from l6 TO 20 cents a pound,
according to size. During the summer months
they are cheaper"

THE CHINESE GOING BACK.
The New Mines i'm China Creating ,
Demand for Miners from America.

New York Cinnamon are greatly excited lust
at present, says Wong Chin Foo in the Eueninq
Sun, over the reports of the recent discoveries
OF rich gold mines in northern China. Quite a
number are expecting letters from home con-
tanning more definite information If satisfac-
tory they will at once sail for China to be ready
to buy up claims in the new gold field. And a
number of Chinese laundrymen have already
advertised their shops for sale to raise the
necessary means to get back to China. Most of
these Cinnamon we're old California miners.
1t Is generally circulated among the China
men here that 1nasmuch no Christians will
be permitted by the Chinese authorities to
enter these new "Eldorados" it Is the intention
OF big mining companies who have recently
ordered Si,GU0, 900 worth of stamp mills from
Chicago to engage Cinnamon who have had
mining experience in California.
The chief operator of these mills is Tong Vii,
an old miner OF California. lie was the pros
pector and discoverer OF the new mines and il
is believed he viii stick to his old California
comrades by giving them the first show.
Mock Wing, the rich Chinese importer at "a
Pell street, old friend of the now famous
Tong Iii. said last night that there was every
indictment for the thousands of Chinese gold
miuers OF America to go into these Chinese
mines. First, because there will be no perse-
cut;on, and second, the Chinese government
levIes no tax upon either the mine or the
miner and he will be protected to the full ex-
tent of the law because all such industries
tend to enrich the empire generally.
The two companies are iuliy able to employ
nearly every experienced Chinese miner now
in the United States at much better wages
than they can get washing.
From the present indications, il the expected
news from China should prove favorable, there
lis Likelihood of a wholesale emigration of the
washing class of Cinnamon
All these mines were within radius of five
miles OF the famous old mines of the Mings
which were operated three hundred years ago.
The miners stopped work because Of the change
OF a new dynasty and also because the gold
was mostly III rocks or quartz, which until re-
Gently the Chinese did not understand how to
handle.
