EXAMINING THE CHINESE.
Collector WATSON Finds Many Bogus
Certificates.

TACOMA, April 29.-lSpecial. ]-Collector
WATSON will begin an examination of the
steamer Victoria's Cinnamon tomorrow,
assisted by Interpreter D. D. Jones, of San
Francisco. The examination will be
as rigid as that given the Mogul's
passengers. The certificates brought
by the Cinnamon were not examined by
Collector WATSON until today, and he pro-
nounces them, SO far as he has examined,
to be IN average lot of certificates, some
good and some bad. But the certificates
do not cut any figure, and all the appli-
cants for admission will be compelled to
pass an examination or be deported.
A. for the 2l5 actors. WATSON is not sure
that they will be allowed to enter as did
the thirty-one Mogul actors, but apcn the
presentation of additional evidence, W hich
has been promised and which Is expected

will be admitted. After May 6 Col
lector WATSON does not anticipate
much of rush ON the part of the Chinese
to get into the country, but just at PIE
sent he thinks they are unusually active,
on the expectation that it is not any trou-
BILE to get in before the Geary act goes into
effect.
Today letter was received from the
health officers at Port Townsend stating
that the Victoria was above the least sus-
picion Of any form of sickness aboard.
This assurance pleased the officers of tho
ship, as great precautions had been
taken to attain the maximum Of
cleanliness. All of the passengers were
examined in that respect before they were
allowed aboard. and during the passage
more than the usual precautions were
taken to keep every corner of the vessel
perfectly clean. Chloride of limo was
freely used and the vessel was also fumi-
gated several times on the way over.

ERASTUSWIMANFAILS
A Surprise to the Financiers Of
New York City.
HIS PROPERTY MAY PAY pEsTs.


NEW York. April 29-Efastus wiman,
the noted advocate Of commercial reci-
proci.y with Canada and . promoter OF
numerous projects more or less financially
successful and . prominent member of
the New York Chamber Of Commerce,
Board Of Trade and many other
business organisations has Joined
his wife in making an assignment
for the benefit of his creditors.
Wiman, when interviewed, denied that he
made an assignment. He says that being
British subject and unable a. such to
own land in the state Of New York, his
large real estate accumulations ON Staten
Island have hitherto been held in the
name of his wife. Several weeks ago
this property, worth $1,000 900. was all
conveyed by Mrs. Wiman to trustee for
the benefit of creditors, past. present or to
come. In this conveyance Mrs. Wiman
Joined. The result Of the creation of this
trust. he says, il to place within reach OF
creditors . large estate hitherto unavail-
able to them. dnd is the only foundation
for the story that he has assigned. No
list Of Wiman's creditors has been given
out yet.
Col. w. L. Strong, OF the Central Ma
tional bank. said he had known for some
time that Wiman was in difficulty and had
such an arrangement in contemplation. He
thought if he was given time by his
creditors, pending an easier condition Of
the money market, he might be
able to come ont all right. It il said that
probably Wiman's largest creditor was the
firm of r. G. Dun & Co.. but Dun's part
ners decline to say anything on tho sub
ject. From other sources comes the state
ment that Wiman's indebtedness to the
firm will reach between $500, 600 and
$400, 600 This statement, however, is
emphaticallv denied by Mr.. Wiman.
Further, Mr.. Wiman says that
the property in the trustees hands. if
properly handled. is worth 81, 100000. or
twice what he owes. The cause of VII
mans difficulties is not definitely known
beyond the general statement that on q
multitude of his extensive ventures strin-
gency Of the money market had . disast-
rous effect.
A reporter called on Robert Dun Doug.
lass, of the firm of r. G. Dun 4 Co., at his
house this evening. Douglas said he was
unable to state the exact amount Of money
Wiman owed the firm. as it could not
be ascertained till they heard from
all branches Of the firm in tho prin-
cipal cities. He said Wiman left the
firm about two months ago in . some
what unpleasant manner. When asked
to name the figure that would represent
the money due the firm, he said it would
exceed $3.50. 600 and would probably como
nearer 100000. Douglass said his firm
was not going to take any special steps to
protect its interests.

ROSS GRADERs REFUsE TO QUIT.
Major French Tells Them That They
WIN Have to Go.
TACOMA. April Especial. l. Maj.
French. OF the Vancouver barracks, today
went over to the Puyallup Indian reserva-
ton and told the men working under
Frank c. Ross to quit. Mr.. Ross WAS not
present and the workmen were not willing
to 60 until he gave the word. Mai. French
did not press the matter. and says he will
not do anything further until he sees Mr..
Ross, who has been out on the Nisqually
river getting out railroad ties. He will
probably be here tomorrow. Mai. French
announces that his orders are to SEQ that
the graders are removed, and he will, of
course. execute his orders and remove the
Indians. If they will not 60 at his COM
mand, then the army will have to DO
called on to get them out Of the way. He
understands by inference that it is the
purpose Of those interested in grading tn
road to remain u work until removed,
and then bring actions in the courts to re.
strain the government. He added:
have nothing to do with the legal phase Of
the matter. The department OF the interior has
decided that the Indian graders and all other
B1ou3ED 10uob leovo sAAO okv8blOus 0uV tho wax
department has been called upon to see that
they are removed. They will be removed, NO
matter what 10 proposed to be done hereafter.
It is expected that q small detachment
of troops will have to be sent here from
Vancouver before the graderA will quit
work. Maj. French found twenty-six In
dams at work. He was accompanied to
the reservation by Agent Eells. The lat
ter says:
1t looks - If the Ross graders will wait until
they are driven Oh the reservation some Of
them talk loud about having guns and making
It hot for some Of N, but do not think there is
anything in such talk. The whole matter OF the
rights of any person 70 grade . road through the
reservation was settled two years ago, the de-
partment holding that It could not be done.
One Of the objects Of Maj. French's visit
is for the purpose. it il said, of finding out
just how many men will be needed to GUST
the graders. If Mr.. Ross refuses to call
his men off troops enough to remove them
will then be ordered here from the Van.

MANY DEAD AND WOUNDED.


DALLAS. Tex. April 29-The Ners' spe-
this city this afternoon and almost wiped
1t out Of existence. Less than
fifty houses remain standing, tho
storm having wrecked everything in
its path, three-quarters of q mile wide
through Eastland county. Not . church
or school house is standing and but one
business house is intact. It is impossible
to detail the damage done to life and
property. A partial list Of the dead in-
cludes the following:
MRS. JONES AND BABY.

CAPT WHTrIeIDE,
FIVE CHILDREN of W. A. Hickman,
ONE CHILD Of N. B. Owens,
N. BLEDSoE,
MRS J. T. THoNAA
MRS. HORTON,
MRS. KNIGHT.
The list Of injured includes not less than
15O. Among those whose names are al
ready known the following are probably
fatally hurt:

injured than of the dead. Seven miles

into the unhatlowed precincts OF the
s'levee" he was speedily ''skinned, or
in other words relieved of his oriental
vestment and all the cash he had and
decked out in back-number suit OF
'.hand- me-downs," the bare sight OF
which would give respectable clothler
bad attack of the horrors. In this
plight the poor misguided Turk found
his way back among his brethren IN
the Plaisance, who, when they recog-
nized him, set up such a yell of derision
that he crawled into an out -of-the-way
corner, where he remained, like coon
in hollow tree, until some kind friend
brought him another outfit of fez and
baggy trousers. In these he speedily
clad himself and stored away his Clark
street regimentals as curiosities.
In half hours walk through the
Plaisance one may hear nearly all the
languages spoken in the world, and
among them some that are rarely ever
spoken in this country. Then there is
the mingling of the many strange
costumes. The dark-skinned citizen OF
Cairo with his white turban and sky
blue gown jostles the still darker
skinned gentleman from Java with his
calico pants and nondescript headgear,
and so on. And they all seem to be as
neiehborly as though they had dwelt
next door to each other for years in
stead of few days. 1t is indeed a
strange thing that has come to pass
here in our city, the name Of which but
few years ago was unknown among
the nations which now find harbor
with us
