Graham is not boy, but a man past
81. Now for your part in this mystery.
The only solution which Detective
Keene-he of Scotland Yard, in
whose hands, of course, the matter has
been placed-and myself can reach, is
that young Graham, being evidently
eccentric, and being also greatly fasci-
mated with the late Count and his rela-
tives, has also become interested in some
absurd way with the Lebourgeoises,
and is following them up. You have

Paul did not answer at first After
thinking a moment, he asked what
sort of looking man young Graham
was.

Keene came back that evening. He
was as sure as Archer had been that he
was on the right track. He took the
first train on Tuesday morning for
Stony Creek. He found the island, but
the house was closed and the servants
were gone, There was no one who
could tell what had become of the man

eign population that it would pay his
paper to establish a direct correspond
ence service abroad. He had selected
Paul as the man to conduct it, and Paul
was now asked to take the next
steamer for the other side. Paul
was very ready to undertake the COM
mission, even if it did separate him
from Miss Eebourgeois. He knew, in
deed, that it would be only for time,
as Frank had business abroad early IN
the fall, and would go over. taking his
mother and sister with him. So Paul
on every score gave quick assent to the
proposition, and made ready to sail
that Saturday on the Aurania. He
simply dropped line to Frank, telling
him of his change of plans, and OF his
address in London, in which city were

Archer impressed it upon him that
no news would be read with livelier in

Young Robert Graham; the sort OF man
he was, and why, if it could be found
out, he had made the trip across the
Atlantic, and then failed to put in his

The union cigar-nakers, as was stated in
these columns, recently submitted schedule
OF wages to their employers, calling for an
advance Of from 81 to S3 per 1000. This
demand was refused. and about 100 mem
bers OF the union went on strike. About 90
OF them are still out, and majority of the
employers has formed an association
which declares that it will not concede the
unions demands As a measure of self
preservation the union has determined to
sustain and increase the sale of cigars made
by white labor. and committee consisting
of j. Wolff and G.. Hoesch was sent out TO
solicit saloon keepers and retail dealers In
cigars TO Cooperate with them in building
UP demand for the product of home labor:
Seven or eight saloon keepers were visited
yesterday afternoon and were told by the
committee that If they did not buy and sell
goods made in California and thereby give
employment to Caiitornians they could not
hope 10 earn living.
You know" said the committee, that If
you buy cigars made il New York or Key
West the money you pay for them goes to
New York and Key West, and while you
gain now you lose at last"
The committees mission is 10 build up
demand for California-made cigars. in order
that manufacturers who make them will be
patroniZed and give employment to local
mechanics.
In all but one of the places visited the
committee were told that the proprietors
would do all in their power to foster de-
mand for California cigars.

quarters they were Informed that ). Davis
and L. c. Nedeau had announced that they

The examination will be resumed at 9

TO return to New York tonight or to-mor-

Colonel Evans, the special agent Of the
treasury, located in this city. talked freely
in the Appraisers building yesterday after
noon about his connection with the alleged
Liebes tobacco smuggling scheme. In fact,
the tongues of Federal officials in San Fran

powers of speech.

shipped last winter to Eastern markets.
The Treasury Department in Washington
had directed Colonel Evans to gather this
particular information. He accordingly
called on the firm in this city and politely
informed them that his duty as an officer re-
they had made Of the consignment of Su-
matra leaf tobacco they had entered at the
Custom house as filters, and which had been
subsequently appraised as wrappers. Mr..
Jacob Liebes courteously returned Colonel
Evans call, and several subsequent inter-
views were had without eliciting much in
formation for the Government.
All that Mr.. Jacob Lebes could tell him
was that he was i'll when the goods were
shipped East, and. that as his brother, Louis
Liebes. was in charge of the business.
he. Jacob, knew nothing about where the
tobacco had been shipped. He did tell him,
however, that number of the bales had
been sent to New York. Colonel Evans re-
ported these facts 10 his superiGrs In Wash

Special Agent Mccoy was favored with
clews by means OF which he traced the
tobacco into warehouses on West Twelfth

THE CASE OF GEE LEE.

Judge Deadly Decides That He Has
Right to Reside In the United States.
In the United States Court of Appeals

however. Judge Deadly says: THE de-
cision of the District Court. though given
on ground in which we do not concur, is
correct and must be approved"
The case is one of the many constantly
arising out Of the complications in the
Chinese exclusion acts.
Gee Lee had for 10 years been a resident
in this city. lie came as laborer when he
arrived from China, but gradually rose in
the social and fina neial world to the rank Of
store-keeper. One day last year he con-
cluded TO visit his relatives in Port Angeles.
Washington, and in Vancouver. British
Columbia. and started on his voyage north.
Gee had good time, but when he returned
from Vancouver to Port Angeles there was
trouble awaiting him. de landed all right,
the Cust0m-hOuse officer never molesting
him at all, until a few days later informa-
ton was filed against him and a Deputy
United States Marshal threw Gee Lee into
jail, charging him with landing without
certificate. When his case came up before
the United States Commissioner that official
promptly decreed that Gee Lee had no right
to be in the United States aud ordered him
forthwith deported to his native land.
An appeal was taken and in the District
Court it was held that the Collectors de-
cision rendered in permitting the Chinese
to land was final and could not be revoked:
also that the absence OF a certificate was
not sufficient to establish the fact that Gee
Lee had no right 10 reside in the United
States, he having given evidence of prior
residence. Gee Lee was once more a free
man anu was about to return TO this city TO
resume business, when he was rearrested,
the Government having decided to appeal
from the District Judges decision. 1t was
on this appeal that Judge Deadly rendered
his decision yesterday. The one ground
which Judge Deadly considers faulty in the
decision of the lower court is that the Col
lector's decision should be held as final,
and in explanation he says that although
section Il of the act of September IL 1885,
provides that no appeal can be taken from
decision of a Collector of Port in mat
tiers concerning the landing of Chinese, the
act has never become law, because the
treaty uponiwhich il was founded was never
ratified.

OF Customs Chaloner while endeavoring to
smuggle six cars OF opium from the steamer
China, was arraigned before United States
Commissioner Sawyer yesterday and held
for trial His bail was set at $500, which
he furnished at once.
To the Commissioner Ishi stated that he
was cabin-boy, employed to wait on the
purser oil the steamer, whose name is Min
ton, and that he had stored the opium In
the purser's room during the voyage with.
out telling Mr.. MintoD anything about it,
Deputy Surveyor Varney w. Gaskill.
upon hearing Of this. instituted a search Of
the pursers room and found considerable
more contraband stuff stored in various
hooks anu corners.
The find consisted Of $50 silk handker-
chiefs, 80 silk shawls and two 5-tael tins Of
oplum-ail of which the willy Japanese
doubtless intended to bring ashore ut con-
venient times.
When asked about the articles found Ishi
admitted that they were all his own, and
that he had purchased them TO make pres
ents 10 his many white lady friends In this
city.
The goods were seized and are valued at
ABOUT 500. No blame Is attached to Mr..
Minton, the officers being satisfied that he
had no knowledge of the smuggling propen-
stiles Of his servant.
