FERRY DEPOTRAIDED
Daring Burglary at the West
Seattle Ferry House.
OVER $500 WORTH OF BooTn
Three Men Carry on All in sight-Ths
Attack Made From n Boat at Mid
night-Other Robberies.

Burglars entered the West Seattle ferry depot
Friday night, and succeeded in making away with
about 5000 worth of property and valuables. Tbs
robbery is supposed to have been committed by
three men, who landed at the depot in boat,
and carried the booty away by water. AS to who
the men are the officers have no clue.
An entrance TO the waiting-ro room was effected
by bursting in door In one corner OF this
room is cigar, fruit and candy stand, owned by
an old man named Thomas Lucey. The burg
lars pried off paddock which held the sliding
window in place, and, entering the stand, they
carried away nearly everything in tho place.
About $500 worth of cigars and candles were
taken; also some clothing which Lueey had left
there.
The ticket Office in another part OF the room
was next broken into. The thieves did not get
much reward for the work there, however, for
all the money had been taken out The only
thing OF value i'm the Office that could be carried
away was an overcoat which hung on the wall.
This was taken.
A carpenters tool chest, containing $3.50 worth
OF tools, which was in the waiting room, was
carried OFF, The chest was owned by John Law
son, a carpenter employed by the ferry company.
The robbers then left the depot aud went into
the eompany's lumber yard, short distance
north. Two chests of carpenters tools, valued
at Slo, were emptied of their contents, and the
robbers got in the boat aud rowed away. The
tools belonged TO W. III. Tate and G. Martin, car
penteTs.
The theory that the robbery was committed by
three men who were in boat is obtained from
Japanese laundryman, who lives on a floating
house, 800 yards north Of the ferry depot About
III o'clock Friday night he saw three men go into
the depot and sfterward saw them in the lum-
Der yard They loaded something In boat, and
then all three pulled out towards the head OF
the bay. The Jap said one of the men was
small fellow, who had black hair and spoke in
French. He could not say of what nationality
the other two men were

Prince and Pauper.
New York Time


There was a pretty scene of childlike
impulsiveness in one of the elevated rail
road cars. A bright-faced little boy, with
long golden curls and warm wraps of fash
ION, sat beside his mother. very evidently
thoroughly pleased with the world
and everybody. On the seat beside him
was dainty box of boD-bons, into
which the child's hand dipped from time
10 time At one OF the stations a woman
carrying a child-also a boy-eniered the
car A glance told that the woman be-
longed 10 the great work-a-day class
of humanity. Toll was written in deep,
hard lines over a face that was still
young, and the child she carried had
an emaciated look. The poor woman with
her child, sat down in the seat beside the
bright-faced little one who was SO indus
triously feeding OH the confectionery. The
candy-eater looked at the grimy little
fellow beside him in sort of silent Won
der. Then. in quick, ehild-like way, he
thrust the box of bon-bons toward the poor
boy. The latter's eyes opened 10 twice
their size rs ne dipped his thin hand into
the box and transferred a big sugared
cherry to his mouth. These two children
looked at each other, and both laughed
merrily.

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.
An Eastern Visitor Talks Of Its Effect
on the Northwest.

Mr.. D. w. Beadell, of Syracuse, n. Y, is at the
Snoqualmie hotel lie is travelling through the
country partly for pleasure and partly for bust
ness. At the same time he is writing FOR the
NorthresterB Christian AdcooGte, published at
Syracuse series of letters on the Northwest.
81 believe" said he last evening, "that the
greatest benefit to this country will come
through the opening of the Nicaragua canal.
That will bring you 10000 miles nearer by water
TO the great markets of London and
New York The two mountain ranges,
the Cascades and the Rockies, viii, in spite of
all improvements in railroading, make rail
transportation to the East comparatively expen-
sive. So the water routes play an I'M
commonly important part-though they
are always extremely important - in
the commerce of this region. Accordingly
such great shortening of the routes will open
larger markets for your grain, lumber and other
products, and will greatly stimulate your indus
!ries The places receiving the chief benefit
will be your seaport towns and shipping points:

make seattle, with its fine harbor, the leading
city OF the Northwest, and people who can hold
property for tive years more will realize for

HAD STOLEN GOODS.
Two Young Boys With Plumber in
Their Possession.


Sammy Jones and another bad boy named
Arthur Austen are wanted by the police. Jones
is Il years old and Austen is only 8. They are
notorious young thieves and have several times
been arrested for larceny. Jones is the urchin
who few months ago stole gold watch from
John Baker, stage manager of the Standard
theatre, and sold IL to a Japanese vender for 81
Thursday the two boys were at Lake Washing
ton, near the Yesler avenue power house. They
wanted to sell seven large new jackknives
which they had in their pockets The cable ear
employees believed the knives were stolen and
took them away from the boys, and when
Officer MoffoTd, who lives near the power house,
went home they turned the property over to
him.
Shortly after Officer Mcfford took the knives
TO police headquarters Officer Brandon came in
with new slate, some picture books and school
books and eight pads of blank writing paper,
all new. lie found the ''swag' where the two
boys had hid it.
The owners of the knives and books are now
wanted, for even though the boys should be
caught they cannot be convicted unless the
owner of the property stolen is present to
identify the property as his own.

Captain A. NJ Kent. formed in line at police
headquarters yesterday afternoon nc o'clock
and marched to the Armory, where they were

The choosing of police inspector, which has

sion, depends good deal upon the best drilled

tives Rogers and Willard and Lieutenant Sui
livan.

YAKIMA INDIANS.
They are Making Good Progress Toward
Civilization.

"ihe Yakima Indians are going to cause no
trouble" said Colonel w. +. Prosser, of North
Yakima, yesterday. "They are industrious and
peaceable. | think the Yakima Indians are
among the finest that We have, for they are OF
good physique, and taking all things into con-
sideration they are well advanced in the arts of
civilization.
The last trouble there was in 1885, as recall
the date, though l am not certain There was
no outbreak then, only personal quarrel be-
tween few Indians and few white men, re-
suitlng in the death of one of the latter.
THE Yakimas have gone as far as they can
under the reservation system, which is really
but school to fit them to hold property in
severalty. My own belief is that they would be
better or now ii their lands had been allotted in
severalty eight or ten years ago. As it is, each
man has his herds of cattle, and his special
gardens and fields. Some of them are remark
ably successful farmers, raising good deal of
wheat, potatoes and other such products"

CHANCE FOR HOSPITALITY.
Proposal to Invite the Empress OF India
Excursion to Seattle.

'.The thing ] should like to see agitated," said
Mr. Charles II. kittinger yesterday, sis some
plan for getting those coming to Vancouver on
the trial trip OF the new Canadian Pacific
steamer. Empress OF India, to visit Seattle. She
will reach the Pacific coast before long and will
he closely followed by the sister YES
sells. Empress of China and Empress of Japan.
Each viii carry from Europe large excursion
of people going around the world. / think we
onrht 10 invite them to come down Into the
sound to visit seattle, and perhaps we could get
the steamer TO bring them to our wharves. That
would be a good advertisement for the city"

LOOKING FOR SHEA.
Police Believe They Have q Clue to q
Gang of Burglars.

Thomas Shea, an old-time vagrant and general
bad character, is wanted by the police. They
believe that he knows more than he cares about
telling in regard to the blowing open of Day
Bros. safe. Thursday night. The safe was
blown open in the lumber yard office, at the foot
of Vine street, and the police believe that shea
is the burglar. Shea is a safe-cracker, and is
said to be an expert at the business.
Almost continuously for the past six months
he has served on the chain-gang for yagrancy,
and once or twice he was sentenced for petty
larceny. He is % years old. and his right ear is
cut of close to his head.
