Several inquiries have been made IN

and what il is doing. IL has just re-
called Itself to public attention by the
preparation of an announcement to be
made public this week IN which atten-
ton will be directed To the provisions
OF the Civll Service law IN relation to
political assessments. The provisions
OF the law in relation TO this matter are
in Substance that no government officer
or employee shall directly or indirectly,
solicit or receive, IN any manner what
ever, q contribution for political pur-
poses from any other government
officer or employe; that no govern
ment officer or employee shall make a
contribution for political purposes to
any other government officer or en-
ploye; THAI no person shall in any man.

no superior officer shall discrimi-
nate against or in favor of any gov
ernrnent officer or employee on account
OF his action IN reference to contribu-
:ions for political purposes, that gov
eminent employees must be left abso-
iutely free to contribute or not, as they
see mt, and to contribute to either
party, according TO their preferences,
and that an employee refusing to con-
tribute must not he Disseminated
against because Of such refusal. "The
little attention attracted by the an

doubt due in some degree to the fact
that the specific evil declared against

CEILINGS THAT SLIDE.
A Startling Discovery Made by
the Police I'm Chinatown.
Headquarters Of the Lottery Companies on
Dupont Street Raided-False Floors and
Partitions Were Smashed

There was weeping and wailing and
crashing of teeth in Chinatown last night,
fer me police had raided and carried away
ibe !nkpots, the wheel, the pans and boxes
anu the rest of the paTaphernalis In the
room where the drawings Of several lottery
companies take place.
Tie blue coated pinionS OF Justice old not
content themselves wish takiG. This prop-
erty; they smashed the furniture in the
room and annihilated several gods.
The loss of the furniture and gods would
have been borne with that fortitude for
which the Monaghan is noted, and few
tears would have been shed over the cap
ture Of the companies nkpOts, brushes and
tickets had not the officers, with an unpar-
donable disregard for the aspirations of the
chinese lottery-payers, made their raid an
hour too soon.
DESCENT
They made their descent at 10 o'clock.
and the drawing was 10 take place 60 min
ute5 later. Hence the grief that prevailed
in the Monaghan quarter.
The rooms that were raided are in tie
second story Of the building g05 and gO7
Dupont street. On the ground floor OF this
structure there Is general store kept by
Chy TOng. On the north side of this store
there Is passage containing a Il ght OF
stairs leading to the upper story. For some
numbers OF Chinese entering the store and
emerging from the hallway on the
north side. They came to the conclusion
that something was wrong, either in the
room at the rear of the store or upstairs.
They decided to make an investigation, and
last night, under the leadership OF Sergeant
T0bin, they entered the store of Chy Tung
who regarded them with cOntemptuous In
difference.
COVERED JUGS.
The officers paid no attention to the
covered jugs, grinning idols and uncouth
plants In the store, but passed into the back
room.
Darkness there and nothing more"
They rambled about the apartment for
some time. but were unable TO find an exit,
with the exception OF the doorway leading
into the store. through which they had
made their entrance.
They lit lamp and made an examination
OF the ceiling. They struck it with a stick
and Ii had metallic sound. Thew found a
very narrow opening, and into il they in
serted the blade of a knife. Marvellous TO
relate, the ceiling parted in twain, one half
moving to the left and the other TO the right
Six inches above there was what seemed
TO be another ceiling. Upon investigation
it proved 30 be trapdoor, locked on the
upper side Sergeant Donellan smas he'd il
with an AK and the policemen assembled.
sCAMPERING FEET.
As they did SO they heard door slammed
aud the sound of scurrying feet. They
found themselves in small room without
furniture. The floor was strewn with the
narrow slips of white paper on which the
drawings OF the Chinese lotteries are
written. The apartment had window.
but no door. The policemen sounded the
walls and found that one of them was COM
posed of sheetiron and ratified when struck.
