A Trine FfAI.y.

Tacoma, Wash, Special. May 6.-Theo
Lee. cigar and news stand proprietor
in this city, has gone to Chicago and New
York to submit to treatment by surgeons
in the hope of having arms grated on
to his stumps. His arms We're blown off
by the explosion of shell at West Point,
N. Y, during the war, and with artificial
ones and various contrivances he has
managed to carry on a cigar and news
stand business here. He has had an
uphill time of it to make living Many
persons are inclined to joke about Lees
mission, but DR.. McCutcheon, who coun-
sseled with the armless man, says there
is very good prospect that he will have
his arms extended on the same plan that
flesh is grated from one person to an
other. While there is a wide difference
of opinion regarding the results of ex-
periments, DR.. McCutcheon claims there
are about as many skilled surgeons who
believe it can be done as there are who
laugh at the idea of grafting arms and
legs too on to people.

Denver, Special, May Ga Chinese
plot which had for its object the whole
sale importation of the celestials from the
Flowery Kingdom to the United States
was unearthed in Denver to-day. Every
Chinaman in this district, which includes
Colorado and Wyoming, has secured
enough certificates of registration to sup
ply all his cousins in China with one each
Their plan of a campaign was for each
Chinaman to register several times, and
the certificates he received were turned
over to the Chinese Six companies of San
Francisco, who will send them to China.
They worked their game to perfection,
and it probably never would have been
discovered but for one of their own kind
giving the scheme away to-day. Just
how many have gotten a second certif-
cate is not known, but it is thought by
Inspector Freeman that about 1000 have
done so. For several weeks past numbers
of Cinnamon have succeeded in register
ing a second time, the only difference in
the descriptions so far as discovered,
being in the place of residence, but as
many Of the names sound pretty nearly
alike nothing certain was discovered until
to-day, when bright young Chinaman
informed Mr.. Freeman that they were
sending their certificates to China with a
view of smuggling the heather into the
country.
1t is thought by the United States au-
thorities in this city that this is
scheme engineered by the Chinese Six
companies in San Francisco and is not
confined to this district alone. The
scheme is smooth and easy one, and
wholesale evasion of the Geary law is
possible under it. AS soon as the plot
was discovered Collector Freeman made
hasty investigation of the records of
the office and communicated the result
of his discoveries to Washington. No
instructions have been received as yet
1t is estimated that there are about
5000 Cinnamon in this district at pres
ent. but there are over 1900 registered
and number of towns which are known
to have at least 400 Cinnamon are not
registered at all. Two hundred certif-
icates We're received to-day from Rock
Springs. Two hundred more are ex-
pected tomorrow from the same place.
II they can all get two certificates apiece
end send them to China the country will
soon be overrun with them. They can
arrive in the country, show the certif-
icates of residence, and can go unmolest-
ed to all parts of the country, and the
government will be swindled out of
thousands Of dollars, and the pig-tail
heather will have picnic smuggling
themselves in. Just what can be done
TO Keep them from sending these certif-
icates to the old country and thereby
smuggling all their relatives into the
United States is not known. Mr.. Free
man has instructions from Washington
not to arrest any of them until further
advice from headquarters.

A RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT.

Eau Claire, Wis, Special, May o.
William Dukelow, coEfined in the county
Jail on the charge o: criminally assault
ing the four-year-old daughter OF John
McSheffern, signifed to-day desire TO
plead guilty. He was taken to the CIR
cult court chamber, and no one else
was present besides Judge Bailey, Dis
trict Attorney Frawley and the officers
of the court and Thomas F. Frawley, an
attorney. The necessary formalities oc-
cupied half an hour and Dukclow be-
came very nervous. Finally the prisoner
was brought to the bar and pleaded
guilty to the crime of rape. The judge
asked Dukelow whether he had anything
to say and the prisoner mumbled in reply
something to the effect that he had moth
ing to say. Judge Bailey then sentenced
Dukelow to thirty years in Waupun
penitentiary, five days in each year in
solitary confinement. The prisoner was
then taken back to Jail, the arrangement
being to take him away on the 4:3O
train. T. +. Frawley had stated to the
court on behalf of Mrs. Dukclow that
she wished it known that her husband
had met with some accident a few years
ago and had not been quite right mental
ly since that time. Inside of ten minutes
Dukelow was placed in closed car
riage by Sheriff Kiley and Chief Hig-
gins. They told the driver to make for
point between Eau Claire and Chippe-
wa Falls, where it was intended to catch
the Wisconsin Central train which leaves
Eau Claire at 4:3O. 1t was deemed best
to adopt this course on account of the
fear that Dukelow might be killed be-
fore he could be taken out of town. The
vengeance of the little girls father aud
his friends was what was feared, and it
was not considered safe to take the
prisoner to the depot.
