GRASPING RAILWAY.
1t Will Shut People Off Lake
Michigan Beach.

1t Will Shut People Off Lake
Michigan Beach.
CHICAGO, April o. According to a
morning paper the Illinois Central road
is preparing to fence in the entire lake
shore, north of the worlds fair grounds,
and charge people for the right to stand
on the beach. The road is preparing to
adopt the elevated road" system of
carrying passengers, and says that, as
it proposes to run trains every fifteen
seconds, it cannot allow the public to
have free access to the tracks because
of probable fatalities. Therefore the
road is preparing to build at all of its
stations a high iron fence, which will
keep the public off the tracks. ALI this
will be done under the plea of neces-
sity created by the condition of the
worlds fair service. Officials of the
railway admit that they do not own the
lake; but John Dunn, assistant to the
president, said yesterday: 1--WE are not
obliged to furnish people access to the
lake. Ii they want to get there let them
build viaductS."
The action of the road will seriously
affect number of boat clubs whose
boat houses are east of the Illinois Cen
trail tracks, and they are not disposed
to regard the movement for their per-
s0nal safety as an unallOyed boon.
Hundreds of men, who, during the
summer months, make living by fish,
ing from the piers, will also be de-
prived of the means of gaining liveli-
hood. The offic ais of the road init
mate, too. that after the fair is over the
fences will remain standing, and num-
bel of men who own property between
the edge of the lake and the tracks are
preparing to make legal fight to see
whether or not they can visit their own
property without paying for the priv
ilege.

NEW YORK, April 9.--When George
SlOsSon intimated TO some personal
friends few days ago that he would
retire from active participation in bill
iards, as regards competing in matches
or tournaments. it was not thought that
the great expert was serious. Maurice
Daily called on Slosson at the latter's
room on Broadway and had an extended
conference with him in reference to
match with Frank Ives. to be played in
this city in the near future. SloSSon,
however, would not listen to the
proposition, and told DAILY that
Ives had evaded making match
with him for long time, and
he did not think the latter had any in
tention of playing one. Consequently,
it would be useless to issue challenge
for a match. In speaking of his retire
ment, SloSSOn said: MY main reason
for retiring is in order to give my full
attention to my billiard room. My busl-
ness interests have increased so much
that am unable to spare the time nee
esSary to keep in trim for matches
without neglecting my customers inter
ests. So. after being for number Of
years before the public, L wish to say to
my many friends that l have entered

after l shall be known as room

STOLE REGISTERED MAIL.
\ Thief Gets in His Work on Long
Island,

NEW YORK, April 9.-The postoffice
authorities are much exercised over a
robbery of registered packages, which
occurred early last week, between this
city and Babylon, L. l. Every effort
was made to prevent the details of the
affair becoming public, and it is only
now that an mixing of the robbery
leaks out. At the pOstoffice all informa-
ton about it was refused. Inspector
James did not deny there had been a
robbery, but said he was not ready to
talk about it. ut will all come ont when
things shape themselves" he said, land
it will be il good story when it does
come out"
The history of the robbery. as the cur
rent reports have it, is that last Monday
afternoon, the train which leaves Long
Island City at 4:30 O'Clock, and to which
there is attached the mail car which car

about $1,000. These packages. it is
alleged. were ritied of their contents at
some point between the New York post
Office and Babylon, but just where AMI

like TO know. The loss was not dscov-

PORTSMOUTH, o., April 9.-The resi-
dents OF Nauvoo, Union Mills and
Friendship, of this county, lifted up
prayers of thankfulness this morning at
2 O'clock, when heavy April rain.
began to fall. For the past two weeks
a very strong and dangerous forest fire
has prevailed west of the Scioto river.
The origin of the fire is unknown, I'M
less caused by farmers burning brush.
The ire originated in the WASH
ington township lumber region Mon
day, and has been gradually spreading.
The path rendered desolate by the
fire is sixteen miles long by
four miles wide and over $50, 900 worth
of ties, hoop poles. tan bark, cordw0od
and sawed timber has been burned.
The largest individual loser by the fire
is Frank j. Atkins, of Carey's Run, who
loses 5000 in cordwood and tan bark.
Saturday the hamlets of Union Mills
and Friendship were surrounded by
fire, but Saturday nights rain saved
them. AT present the fire is shoulder
ing and another rain will quench it.
The loss, roughly estimated, Will eX-
coed 10000 in timber, etc, that has
been burned, not counting the score OF
farm buildings swept away.
CHILLICoTHE, o., April 9.-The ter
ribly high winds that prevailed Thurs
day. Friday and Saturday famed the
flames OF very destructive fires through
out the hill lands of Ross, Highland,
Pike and Athens counties. No rains of
any consequence had fallen for the past
month, and the decayed leaves and
vegetation were like prepared finder
box, needing only start. Thursday
afternoon the fire started in different
places, and the strong wind gave it
good Roadway, making it lmpOS-
sible to circle it with plOws,
or contine 1t in any manner.
The wind Gained at night, which left
the fires to creep slowly along or finish
what had been gone over so rapidly.
The red lines of fires. stretching across
the hills for miles, with the burning of
the dead standing trees, lighted tho
whole country. Friday the wind blew
harder than before, and what had been
left or protected in the timber lands was
developed into great sheets OF flame,
with tongues hundred feet high. jump

fierce gale would carry them,
and Friday night the sight was
fearful. Fences, timber, everything
that would burn, was licked up by the
flames i'll their mad course, and all
efforts at control or resistance were
hopeless. Dense, suifocating smoke EN-
veloped the whole country. Fortunately
no lives are reported lost, and the great
destruction was confined to the tim
bered lands, hundreds of thousands of
dollars worth of the young and grow
ing timber being utterly ruined. The
gale had expended itself by Saturday
noon, and the grateful rain, earnestly
prayed for by the suffering, fell Satur-
day night, quenching the flames and
Gle airing the air.

had manipulated the races were Oh a
cheap table behind the screen.
''Soap" was now assured that the tip
from Il. Jones was genuine, buthe sent
message to New York in order to
have
Complete Report of the Result
of the race. The tin from Jones,
Soap" considered, saved him from the
necessity OF paying off on both Shell
bark and LiZZetta. Had it not reached
him he would have cashed the Shell
bark tickets, and the trio OF wire-tappers
would have been out of the state when,
OH the next day, the preparation of the
fraud had been learned. Holders of
tickets on the real winners would, of
course, have had to be paid. and Soap"
estimated that he was ahead about $780,
900. He felt so thoroughly elated over
this fact that he went at once to seek an
interview with the friendly operator at
the main office. Tod was called down
from the top floor, and "Soap" intro
duced himself.
After the latter had explained how he
had been saved by the receipt Of the
note. Just in the nick Of time, he re-
quested Tod to explain in detail how he
had discovered the plot. Tod. however.
that he happened to be cut in at the
board at the time the race was run, and,
having played a couple of dollars on
Contribution, was watching the wire to
learn as to whether or not he had won
or lost. That was all he had to say by
way of explanation to the boOKmaker,
and he switched from the subject by
requesting that 'Soap" should say
nothing about his connection with the
affair. Tod explained that the reason
of his request was because OF the fact
that he would lose his position if the
manager of the telegraph company
found out that he played the races.
This seemed to satisfy Soap" and.
after telling Tod that he would like to
see him at the fremont at 10 o'clock the
next morning, he departed.
In the meantime Jack was looking
out for Cleary q Co. When "Soap"
hung up the announcement at the
cashiers desk Jack observed Cleary and
his two confederates hastily leave the
poOl-room. Half an hour later he found
the four members in earnest converse
ton at the Merchants hotel, at the con-
clusion Of which Clearly went to near
by ticket brokers' office and purchased
four secOnd-claSS tickets to Chicago.
They were evidently fearful that Risen
might cause their arrest, not knowing
that the chief of the pool room was we'll
satisfied at having won something over
Sc, 600 of the money bet Oil Shellbark by
the firm"
The following morning Tod called ON
Risen at his private office in the rear of
the fremont. The confirmation of the
doubtful race of the day before had
been received and, as 'Soap" thanked
the operator for the part he had played
in the conspiracy, he handed him a
package of bank notes around which a
paper band was pinned, and on which
was printed $500"
Thursday morning Tod met Jack at
the Palmer house, in Chicago, the two
ell route to New York, having made the
trip from st. Paul by different routes.
TOd'S first inquiry of his friend was
"Did you cash the Lizzetta tickets?'
Ibid cash them? Did you ever see
a draft on a New York bank as big or as
handsome as this one?" and Tod said he
never had.

NO PHOTOGRAPH NEEDED.
New Rule Promulgated as to the
Chinese.

CDlnSSe.
SAN FRANCISCO. April 9.-Instruc-
tions. which were received from Wash
ington yesterday, modifying the Chinese
regulations by dispensing with photo
graphs and requiring only one credible
witness, came as a surprise to the treas
ury officials here and all other persons
who are directly interested i'll the Chi
nese registration act. Collector OF In
ternal Revenue John G. Quinn, in com
menting upon the modification OF the
regulations, said:
This new instruction is a great sur
prise TO me, because, heretofore, the
government has required US to employ
every precaution to prevent improper
registrations. The very best safeguard
against fraud in the future has been the
photographs of the applicants. With
out their use, it will be q difficult mat
ter to secure a complete identi-
fication. The importance of this
identification will be felt later
when certificates are transferred TO
Chinese who have been smuggled into
this country. The change, however,
will relieve us of considerable labor,
and we will be enabled to register about
four times as many applicants in the
same time that we do now. Just what
has caused the department to make
these changes 1 do not know. Regula-
tons for enforcing the law are issued
by the secretary of the treasury and
subject to change by him at any time.
Just what effect this will have upon the
Chinese l am not prepared to say. They
have always objected to furnishing their
photographs, and many have given that
as reason for not registering. The
Chinese are controlled by the Six COM
panies, and until they consent the num-
Der registered will be small. IL they
should decide to come in now, we will
do our best"
Gee Gong Tong, the secretary of the
Six Companies, when informed Of the
change made in the regulations, de
clared it would not cause the Chinese to
register. They would continue to OPP
pose the law, and only cease after de-
cision by the United States supreme
court. King OWyang, vice consul, when
informed of the news from Washington,
said:
The consul general and myself have
not expressed any opinion or used our
influence with our people for or against
the Geary act. Many have asked us to
advise them about registering, but we
have always told them to do as they
please about it. This change in the
regulations is unexpected news, and we
do not know what influence has brought
it about. 1t will remove one of the most
Objectionable features of the registra-
ton act, and may cause large number
to apply for certificates Of residence,
but of this | am not certain"
