Questions Coming Before the Tide Land
Commission.

Secretary of State Allen Weir was in
the city yesterday from Olympia, and
took the evening boat for Fairhaven, to
attend the meetings of the tide land
commission. They we're in session all
last week hearing arguments, and many
close questions arose. One Of the close
questions sprang from the fact that an
old plat Of the city was filed in the sos
by the townsite owners. AT that
time Whatcom was having a boom, the
Frasier river mining excitement being
on. Many lots and blocks were sold
on the tide lands. The local
commission, however, has replatted
the harbor without regard to the former
plating. and, as a result, none of the
purchasers of the original plat, of which
there are many, know where their lands
are. About 130 conflicting claims have
been made. The commission will make
as equitable an arrangement as possible.
The government issued patents to
several holders on Whatcom bay, giving
them title to the tide lands. Although
the state asserted ownership to all the
lands below high tide and above low
tide, an exception was made id these
cases. Now, the holders Of tide lands
by this title, and the owners Of the up
lands adjoining, both claim the right Of
purchase of the frontage, buo it is prob
able that the owners OF the upland will
be given it, and that the other parties
will appeal to the courts.

A Mcdonald Oil Operator Gets After an
OId-Time Friend.
W. W. Morell was committed to Jail yes
serday by Alderman Gripp to await hear
ing tonight on charge of false pretense
preferred by Charles R. Bushrick. Bush
rick is an oil operator and lives at Nc
Donald. The defendant also lived at Nc
Donald and was employed as a deputy
sheriff and later as coal and iron police
man. Bushrick had some dealings with
the man and took an interest in him. One
day recently Morell told Bushrick he had
just been left SIS, 900 by a relative, who
died in the East, and he would get the
money as soon as the estate could be settled.
A few days later he told Bushrick that his
sister was very i'll in Pittsburg and he would
have to 60 to her, and as he was short of
money he asked for a loan of $780, The
money was given him and he came to the
city, and for several days nothing was heard
from him. Then letter came saying his
sister was very sick and it was necessary to
send her to a sanitarium. Money was for
warded to defray the expenses. At
different intervals letters came, and in
various amounts about $500 was forwarded.
Bushrick finally became, suspicious and
came to town and placed the matter in the
hands of Detective p. j. Murphy. Upon
investigating the matter it was found that
Morell had no sick sister, but was living in
regal style at the st. James Hotel. Further
Investigation revealed the fact that he had
no money coming from any relatives. An
information was made before Alderman
Gripp, and he was arrested, and in default
of 81 900 bail was committed for a hearing

THE TIDE KEPT BUSY.

Many Men and Large Quantities Of Pro-
visions Taken Up the River.
The Tide made her usual two trips yes
terday. About 45 men were tax en- up in
the morning, and 30 in the afternoon. Three
or four came back, but they could not be
used and were discharged. Besides these
about so men were taken on further up the
river Large quantities of provisions have
been carried up on each trip. One thou
sand pounds of meat, Is barrels of potatoes,
is boxes of bread and 250 cots were among
the things carried to Homestead yesterday.
The trouble experienced for few DAYS
BY the crowds of idlers about the wharf has
been removed by the police. No one is al
lowed to be about who cannot explain his
business. Notwithstanding this vigilance
quite number of loafers take in the pro-
ceedings about the wharf from the Smith
field street bridge, but these are not per-
mitted to congregate in crowds
The officers on the Tide say that the
demonstrations of those living along the
river have almost ceased, and they are no
longer cheered while passing along the
river. They take this as an indication that
the strong feeling against the boat and them
is gradually dying away, and they fear no
more trouble.

JOHN REAMS ASSAULTED.

He Is Caught and Abused by = Locked
Out Mill worker-Both Sides Of the
Story Toid-The Police Kept Busy.
Considerable indignation Is felt by the
locked-out men of the Union Mills concern
ing the alleged exaggerated accounts of the
assault of John Reams at an early hour
yesterday morning.
The first report of the affair was told by
Reams He said: 'T was going to work
about o'clock this morning, and in order
to save time made short cut across the
Allegheny Valley Railroad track. In the
darkest spot 1 suddenly heard two men rap
idly approaching from the rear. Before 1
had time to get in defensive attitude one
man sprang upon my back and pinioned my
arms to my side. l called for assistance
and each time 1 opened my mouth 1 was
struck with great violence about the head
and face. 1 fear should have been killed
had not the police arrived as timely as they
did and placed the men under arrest while
they were assaulting me.
Robert W. Warren, leader Of the locked
out men, said the affair was simply per-
sonal encounter between Reams and thinner
on account of some trouble the two men had
some time ago.

tained," continued Mr.. Warren, "is that
Conners had no hand in the affair at all.
Reams is employed as a roller, and WAS
going to work about o'clock this morning.
When some 200 yards from the gate leading
into the upper mill he met Zimmer. The
two had words, and Reams was attacked.
He Immediately called for assistance, and
the police captured thinner as he was rum
ming away. Conners was nearby thinner
when he was captured, and the police seeing
the two meE together placed both under
arrest"
The locked-out men about the streets
leading to the mills were ordered to keep
moving" by the police yesterday and no
crowds are allowed to congregate upon the
streets or corners. Police are guarding the
mills and patrol the streets and railroad
tracks in pairs.
An incident occurred last Sunday in Mill
vale which illustrates the feeling of every
one connected with the locked-out men
against those who have succeeded them.
Four children of Charles Schafferline,
on-union roller working in the upper mill,
went over into Millvale upon visit.
While going they were coaxed into boat
by a crowd of children, and after their shoes
and stockings were taken from them their
feet and legs, as we'll as hands and faces,

we're run home by the crowd.

The Su burbsn Rupid Transit Company'l
Cars to Be Running Soon.
A special meeting of the stockholders Of
the Suburban Rapid Transit Street Railway
Company was held yesterday at the Office OF
the company at No. 118 Diamond street.
The meeting was we'll attended and con-
siderable business was transacted.
1t was decided to increase the indebted
ness of the company from $50, 900 to $780,
600. This was made necessary from the ex-
tension of the line from the city limits to
Jane and Eighteenth streets, Southside. As
the lines are now projected there will be
~ miles of double track, and in all about
81 miles of ground will be covered, making
in all five miles of single track. The power
of the plant will be increased to 400 elec-
trical horse power. Six new cars and motors
were ordered. The total number of cars to
be used on the line will be L. 1t is ex-
pected to have the line completed and cars
running within 80 DAYS. All the tracks
have been laid. The posts are now being
put up, and all the materials are on
the ground. The electrical generators
will be here within ten days and will be put
in at once.
The power house will be located at Knox
vile, and just outside the city limits The
old turnpike has been uniformly graded and
is now a splendid roadbed. The road will
run from White Hall to Eighteenth street,
down Eighteenth to Jane street and back
up to the Twenty fourth ward.
Much trouble and expense were caused
by the refusal of the Thomas Evans Glass
Company to allow the grade at Mary and
Josephine streets to be cut down so as to
make il a uniform grade. As it now stands
it is alleged the company and public are
alike discounted, and much complaint is
being made. This new transit line taps the
most popular districts on the Southside and
is an1iously awaited for by the public.

THE GATES FORCED OPEN,

And q Pittsburg Chinaman Gets Through
Into the United s.ates-A Pittsburg Min
lister and the Government Ofiiciais Lock
Horns Over the Matter.
After a battle with the United States
Government extending over six weeks, Yee
Lee, a Pittsburg Chinaman, has been al
lowed to return to this city. While the
contest was waged Yee Lee, at his own e1-
pense, was held at Gretna, in Canada, across
the line from North Dakota.
Just year ago Yee Lee, Chinese mer-
chant, left Pittsburg to visit his relatives In
China. He did not go to San Francisco as
most Cinnamon do. He went by Vancouver
to Gretna and sailed from British port.
During his absence the Chinese exclusion
law was enacted. He LETT China to return
to Pittsburg about 10 weeks ago. He was
returning by the same route over which he
went When he arrived at Pembina, n. D.,
just six weeks ago he was compelled by the
Collector of the Port there to 90 back over
the Canadian line to Gretna.
The Chinaman had with him passports
signed by Mayor Gourley, of this city. He
also carried letters from Rev. E. r. Done
hoo. He displayed these papers to the Gov
ernment official at Pembina, but to no effect.
He was positively refused admission to the
United States.
Yee Lee at once notified Rev. E. r.
Donehoo of his predicament and Mr.. Done
hco Immediately entered into negotiations
with the Treasury officials for the
admission of the Chinaman. Several
pointed letters passed between the
West End minister and Secretary Foster,
and an agent was sent from the Treasury
Department to the North Dakota port to in
vestigate the case. At one time 1t was de-
cided that Yee Lee would have to 60 back
to China, but Mr. Donehoo fought vigor-
'ously against such an order and one letter
followed another between the Government
officials and the Pittsburg minister.
Last night, however, Mr.. Donehoo re-
partment informing him that Yee Lee
would be admitted to the Uuited States,
and that the Collector of the Port at Penn
bina had been so notified. After receiving
the letter Mr.. Donehoo at once notified Yee
Lee by telegraph that he was at liberty to
come home. He is expected to arrive in
Pittsburg early next week.
"It was hard fight" Rev. Donehoo said
last night, "but we have won out and our
Chinaman can come back whenever he
pleases. This is the first case on record
where the port officers have been reversed
Two weeks ago smallpox broke out at
Gretna, and our Chinaman, with others,
who were held there, had to be sent into the
Wilderness where he has since been staying.
He will now be brought into civilization"
