she WAS SEIZED ONCE BEFORE.

Special Agents Take . Deep Interest In
the south Sends Fate.
The seizure of the little schooner South
Bend by the British Columbia authorities
on the charge of being In Canadian port
unlawfully, selling liquor to Indians and
other offenses, has revived many stories Of
the craft and brought some of her history
before the public afresh.
About year ago, or little more. the
schooner South Bend was seized at North
Cove, near Shoalwater bay. by George w.
Dillon, assistant to Special Treasury
Agent c. ]. Mulkey. of Tacoma, charged
with smuggling. The schooner was sold
at North Cove oy the government, and
there are not many people there who buy
schooners. Capt. c. F. Dillon, of Tacoma,
brother of the officer who seized the
schooner. went to- North Cove and bid in
the boat for $40. The schooner was
worth at least $500.
A. fact that is interesting in this connec-
ton is that G. W. Dillon, although under
pay here as Special Agent MuIkey's assist
ant, is now In British Columbia and has
written letter TO newspaper man in
Seattle asking him to work up press dis
patch and send it out over the country
telling how John Bull has committed an
outrage on American shipping by selzing
the South Bend. Dillon urges that the
dispatch Ne made "a good one

A PLUM FOR COLLINS.
He May be Appointed Consul
General to Japan.
FIERCE WAR WILL NOW BE wAeED
King County Democratic Bosses' Stay
In the National Capital Said 60
Have Had Deep lmpoPa

Ever since John Collins left for the East
speculation has been generally INDUCED
In ~ to the object and results of his visit.
Various surmises have been INDUCED in
- to what particular favor he had to ask
of the new administration as evidence of
faithful services performed during the past
campaign.
Collins himself has been very close
mouthed on the subject and denied that
he was after any Office. Unfortunately for
his reticence upon the subject, a telegram
received yesterday by prominent Demo-
crat of this city from one in authority at
Washington City has let the cat out Of the
bag. The telegram was in the form of .
query a. to whether the appointment of
Mr.. Collins as consul general to Japan
would be acceptable to the Seattle Demo-
Gratis.
The story goes that Mr.. Collins left this
city with no very settled object in view.
His aim was to secure something either
for himself or in the way of patronage to
display his importance to the local menu
bers Of his party. While East, however,
through the fundamentally of P. A.
O'Farrell, of Tacoma. he made the &C.
quaintance of his namesake, Pat Collins,
of Boston. It was after this that he Sc
lected the position of consul general to
Japan, ~ there is good chance that the
position will go to Washington il the min
lister to Japan is not appointed from Cali
nrnia.
1t is also said that part of the deal was
that Collins was TO support w. H. Talbot
for collector of customs. but that the lat
ter was to give him the appointment Of
most of the subordinate positions, and
that Collins expects to pull his strings so
as to be in it for the next United States
eenatorship.
If the consul general is appointed from
either Tacoma or Seattle it will be death
blow to the small fry who are grinding
their little axes with view to consulates
be expected between Seattle and Tacoma.
At Tacoma K. II Roediger, assistant
editor OF the Nems, is said to be in the
race, and Chauncey w. Griggs. who has
had an intimation of Collins move, is
also said to be about to exert himself. as
Palmer, his secretary, has hopes Of obtain
ing the position of consul at Kanagawa,
Japan.
Whichever way the affair goes the prob
abilities are say the best informed Demo-
Gratis, that fierce battlewill be waged for the
unmasking his batteries until compelled
to. One big appointment will kill the
small ones, and neither Seattle nor Ia
come will allow its rival to obtain such a
plum if it is possible to defeat it.

TREACHERY IS THEIR CRY.
Brooklyn Independents Accuse the
Committee of One Hundred.
Strong Party Republicans Allowed
to Control the Meeting.

Republicans and Democrats in Brook
lyn who have organized the Independent
movement in Kings County politics were
almost unanimously disguised this morn
ing over the result of the meeting of
the Committee of One Hundred held last
night.
Figuratively speaking, they say. the
cat Is out of the bag. and 1t Is nc longer
a secret that certain members of the
Committee are guilty Of ~high-handed
treachery.
The chief operators in the Independent,
movement are said to rave been duped,
Instead of appointing n"on-partisan Re-
publicans and Democrats on the Com.
mlttee they, have allowed men in the
personnel who are playing into the hands
This was demonstrated. they say. when
Benjamin Estes, william ii. Williams
and other strong party Republicans were
allowed to take the reins in their own
hands.
1t Is claimed that these two Republi.
cans have blocked every move the In
dependents have made in order that a
candidate for Mayor would not be
named by the Independents until after
the Democrats and Republicans had
made their selections.
At last nights meeting the few Re-
publicans managed to run things their
" way.
As n result of this alleged treachery II
was announced this morning that the
Citizens Union would hereafter act in.
dependently of the Committee of one
Hundred.
Until this morning the Citizens Union
had declared its support to the Commit
tee Of one Hundred. Blu now they in
tend to lead in the campaign and have
the other independents follow.
The first move in this direction will be
made tonight when the Executive Com
mittcc Of the Citizens Union will meet
and call for IA mass-meeting at the
! Academy of Music mex week.
At this meeting a popular candidate
will be nominated for Mayor.
Members of the Union say they have
checked the TRAITORS" in time to pre-
vent any serious damage.
1t was said this morning that Leader
Jacob Worth, of the Republican party
will nominate Francis ii. Wilson foi
Mayor in face of all II any opposition
