SMUGGLING.
A Consignment Of Towels Proves
to Be Kid Gloves.
Grave Suspicious Of Colluoion with Gus

Grave Suspicious OF Collusion with Gus
tom Omcers at San Francisco.
NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-The recent
wreck Of the steamer Eldorado on the
banks nf the Bahamas has been the un-
expected means of bringing to light
what the custom-house officials in this
city believe to be an extensive and sys-
tematic smuggling scheme which has
been long continued and remunerative
to the smugglers. A grave feature OF
the case is the suspicion that GER
tain officials in the San Fran
cisco custom-house appear to be in
volved, unless all signs fail, in the
way of conniving at the fraud The
treasury department at Washington has
been communicated with as to the as
pect of the swindle which did not come
to light until day or two ago and Sec
retary Foster, in the interest of the
government and honest importers, will
hold rigid investigation. There is
nothing to show that the custom Off.
cials at New York are to blame for the
reason that the fraud was in the class
of goods which the law permits to be
entered in bond and transshipped free
of duty.
There arrived from Germany on
August 1, on the steamer Aleer,
from Bremen, nine cases of
good consigned to Sternberger &
Meyer, of San Francisco, being what
are known in the custom-house as II.
T." goods-that is, goods for immediate
transportation. The cases were not
opened by the customs-house officials
of this port and were allowed to be
transshipped in bond on the Eldorado,
which was to take them to New Or
leans. where they were to be shipped
by rail to San Francisco by the Southern
Pacific railroad. The law permits that
II T." goods can not be opened and APP
praised until they reach the post of des-
tination
When the steamer ran ashore all
the cargo that was saved was brought
back to New York, and the nine cases
in question being foreign goods in
bond were taken possession of by the
customs officials in order that the con-
tents might be appraised and the duty
exacted. Then came an important dis
covery. The nino cases had been en-
tered at the New York custom house as
containing linen towels valued in the
aggregate at $944. The cases were
marked rs. G. & K" They numbered
from 9s to 100 inclusive.
When they were opened at the APP
praisers stores it was found that only
three of the nine cases contained linen
and that the other six cases concealed
fine kid gloves, which had been worth
before they were damaged by water in
the ship much over $4,000. The at
tempt to smuggle had been deftly man
aged For instance, case No. 9s con-
tanned towels, but case No 90 was
filed with kid gloves; so was
| No. 100, while 1o1 was towels,
102, 103 and 104 kid gloves, 105 tow
els and 1o6 kid gloves

What Shall We Buy?

Why, boys clothing, of course,
and if you haven't boys of your
own, present them to your more
fortunate neighbor. They're so
cheap-you will smile when you
hear the prizes. Our MIR. Ben
Harris, on his recent eastern
visit, bought lot of goods from
manufacturer who is retiring
from the trade, at far below the
cost of production, and we will
to-day sell these goods to our
friends and patrons at prices less
than those at which any dealer in
Helena owns them. Prices SIM
ply ridiculous. We do not make
the claim to be as low, but we
claim to UNDERsE1.L any dealer
in Helena. We have a line of
Children's Suits from $3.50 to 81
that we claim no dealer will offer
you within 50 per cent. of the
prices we name.
You can form no idea of their
merit unless you see them, and if
won't come to see them you will
miss the greatest set of bargains
ever offered in Helena.

THE DEPUTY's REPORT,
What He Saw and Heard While as ;

Prisoner.
SAN Francisco, May THE Cronicle's
special from San Diego gives Deputy Mar
shal Spaulding's story of his adventures on
the Etata. He said that Wednesday after
noon ut 5:55 a boat came from the shore
bringing the first mate, surgeon and TWO
passengers. The latter had conversations
with the captain. "Five minutes later I
surprised the Etata making for the ocean
under full head of steam. | was invited
into the captains cabin and he and the pas
sengers exhibiting revolvers told Spaulding
they had contraband goods on board. This
is life or death with NO. said the captain.
He then called two of the crew and they
stood guard near the door armed with re-
volvers and rifles. He and the passengers
went out, telling me that if left the cabin
or attempted to give sign or Jump over
board they would not be responsible for
what happened. About this time four steel
cannon were lifted out of the hold and fast
ened in position on the upper deck and
loaded, few minutes later the captain
came back and informed me that ! was to
be put off in boat from the pilot boat at
Ballast Point. | was then led on deck,

volyer added, This is going to guide it.
After l was lowered into a small boat the
Etata passed out of the bay headed north.
while was prisoner my captors were
very careful to say nothing that would re
veal their plans except that the captain
gave me his name and address and said he
would go directly to Valparaiso.' Two de-
serters from the Etata were found in San
Diego to-day. They state positively that
war ship Esmeralda accompanied the Etata
as far north as Cape St. Lucas and is await

States Marshal Spencer, who was put off at

Marshal Gard Was not aware that the cnp-
tam OF tho Etata had any intention of dis
regarding his authority, for he left for Point
Iona in a launch just an honr ahead of
the steamer and had passed the point and
proceeded some distance out to sea before
ne could have been aware the Etata WAS fol-
lowing him. The marshal's errand on his
second trip TO the schooner Robert and
Minnie was to Lsize her, anywhere she
might be found in the open sea outside of
Mexican jurisdiction, as piratical craft.
Just after midnight Thursday morning
Marshal Gard and party returned from out
side and reported the schooner Robert and
Minnie had completely disappeared. The
deputy marshal who had been placed ON u

watch for developments reported that when

THE HELENA NINE.


IL Ii waiting IOr SOmGDOuy TO say "HIhY
Ball.
Just now it 1o6Ks rs If thore wonld be
very little of the national game in Helenn
this season. There are any number Of ad-
mirers here who would walk several miles
to see good game Of ball. but whether
they will have an opportunity to witness
any fine plays on the diamond ut Athl1tio
park during the summer is omewhat
doubtful. The men who did so much last
summer to hold the ever-victorious Ma
rooms together seemed to have spent their
base ball energy in one grand squirt when
they got that clever team together and beat
every team in the state that dared to face
the old Maroons. Then they aent outside
and brought some of the best teams to be
found III neighboring states, and beat them
too. There was that crack aggreRat on
from Denver, which came here with fiyin0
colors and went home shorn of its repu-
tation for of series of unbroken
victories. How the bleachera howed! Salt
Lake and Cheyenne sent their best men
here and got some points from the Maroona
about handling the ball and saw some good
stick work. What bieacher dces not re-
member the def" that Manager Muth sent
to the Spokanes; offered them their *
could have S1,500 if they won two out Of
three games. Spokane had heard OF the
Helena team. and had man here Watching
their work. and on his advice the spokane
team staid at home and played ball with
the webfeet.
Several amateur games at Athletic park
lately have attracted some attention to base
bali but 10 movement nas ct been started to
form such team as WAS tue pride OF all
Helena last season. There nre several pro-
fessloual players here now who could be got
together ns nucleus for II splendid teaul.
One of them is Ben Mann, who was
III the box for tue Cheyennes
when they came hero to meet
the Maroons. His support was not of the
best and he had up hill work all the time,
but demonstrated his skill as a pitcher. It
seems to be about time for the Athletic as-
sociation to get together and do something
to keep the ball i'll motion. One great at
traction that may be had during the lntter
part of the season is a series of exhibition
games by some of the league or association
mines when on their way to the const.
Formerly these clubs went over the Union
Pacific and gave exhibitions at the main
towns between Chicago and San francisco.
No doubt arrangements could bo made to
have the teams come over the Northern Pa
citic or nj ontana Central and play here and
at other towns III the state. Places west Of
here in Washington and Oregon would also
offer Inducements to have the cluba come
by this route.

New YORK, May 7.--Chas. II. Flint, head
of the South American shipping house of
Flint g. Co., smiled when asked if it was
true that his firm and that of w. r. Grace
q Co. were interested in prolonging the
Chilian revolution. "No." said Flint, that
story, as far as our house is concerned, is
not true. don't believe there is any foun-
dation for the belief that any commercial
house is interested in prolonging the revo-
luton i'll Chill. 1t is, of course, to the in.
terest of every house having business with
Chilian ports that the disturbance should
be over as soon as possible"
How about the shipment of arms which

II do not care to discuss my private af-
fairs in the newspapers. If have made
any such shipments it is matter of pri-
vate business. The constitutional govern
meat of Chill is on friendly terms with the
United States and it is perfectly in order
for any commercial house to make ship

to be sent out with arms for the insurgent ts,
they not having been recognized as belige-
rants, it would be violation of tn neu-
tralitv law. But the shipment of arms to a
constitutional government is just as lawful
as the shipment of provisions"
