WASHINGTON, June 2O.-The removal
of Patrick H. Winston, United States
attorney; Thomas r. Brown, United
States marshal; Andrew WATSON, United
States collector at Port Townsend; CO..
Mulkey, United States special agent, and
six special inspectors Of customs in the
Puget sound district, all in the state Of
Washington, and the appointment of
their successors, is said to be due to re-
ports made to Secretary Carlisle by
Special Treasury Agents Wood and
Lewis. These reports are numerous and
as to details, and tell the
story of one of the most extensive and
successful cnnspiracies ever found to
Chinese and opium into tho
United States across the far north western
boundary. These officials, it is charged
by the reports received, have been doing
a Wholesale business far several years, in
with private parties in Vic
toria, B. c., in smuggling in Chinese
by the means of fraudulent certificates,
and in permitting opium smuggling
either by connivance or otherwise.
Politics never entered into it, but the
immense profit in the business seems to
have corrupted many officials. Other
removals are yet to come, and the matter
in due course OF time will find it's way
into the courts.

FOR THE NORTH POLE.


Lieutenant Peary Making Preparations
for the Expedition.
PHILADELPHIA, June 23.-The steam
sealer Falcon, which is to convey Lieu
tenant Peary and the members of his
next expedition to northern Greenland,
Is expected to arrive at this port either
tonight or within the next sixty hours.
After taking on board the materia, for
the house which Is to be- constructed at
the winter quarters of the expedition
and the miscellaneous equipment and
stores, she will go to New York and
take on board two tons OF pemmican and
the provisions for the expedition, sailing
directly from New York to her destina-
ton. Captain Henry Bartlett, formerly
of the sealer Algerine, will command the
Falcon, and large proportion of the old
crew OF the Kite, the stanch vessel which
carried the former expedition to the far
north, will form part of her complement.
Though young man, Captain Bartlett
has had wide experience in the Arctic
waters, and is considered one of the best
commanders in the sealing feet. Those
who know him say that he will be q
worthy successor to old Captain Pike,
who piloted the former Peary and other
to the north of Greenland.
Captain Pike died few weeks ago at his
home. in St Johns. Like the Kite, the
Falcon s owned by Bowring Brothers, of
st. Johns. She is larger than the Kite,
and is one OF the strongest and fastest of
the sealing fleet. The Falcons net
tonnage is 3ll, while the Kites is but
100. The Falcon has just come out OF
the dry dock, after thorough overhaul
ing.

WHISKY TRUST SUIT,


New and Startling Evidence Has Bssn
discovered.
PEORIA, ILL.,, June 22.-The suit OF At
torney General Maloney against the
whisky trust will be heard in Chicago
tomorrow. Some new and startling evil
dence has been discovered by him bear
ing upon the case. 1t has been ascertained
that he has secured q number of affida-
Wits from distillers both in Chicago and
Peoria, which have given the attorney
general clews to new evidence that will
strike q mortal blow at the trust, and
which fully justities his action in the
case nd exceeds his most sanguine ex-
pectati ons when he first undertook the
case.
New papers were filed by him against
the whisky trust in the circuit court at
Chicago last week, and to which the
whisky trust will have to make answer
today. New papers have been filed
against the officers OF the trust which en-
body these charges. Well-informed
parties say that the result of this case
will be the forfeiture of the charter of
the whisky trust, and that the attorney
general will further show that the title
OF the trust is null and void to the dis
tilleries that it claims to own.

UNIVERSITIES PLAY BALL.
Harvard and Yale Meet on the Diamond
field.

Harvard and Yale Meet on the Diamond
field.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, June 22-Yale
and Harvard met today on the latter's
field for the first Of the great champion
ship baseball games played annually
between the two universities.
At least 10000 people are present and
watching with intense interest the strug-
gle between the two mines.
This is class day at Harvard, and, az
usual, holiday. The second game will
be played at New Haven on Yale's COM
mencement day. June II.
The prevailing opinion has been that
the odds seemed to favor the Harvard
team, which has refused to adopt the
undergraduate rule. Its nine is there
fore composed Of men from all the de-
partments, while Yale confines herself
strictly to undergraduates. As result,
Yale has lost number Of games this
year, but has fairly we'll kept her bril-
liant record OF previous seasons. Har-
ward, too, has lost more games than
usual
Wiggin, who has been Harysrd's
mainstay in the box this year, is dis
tinctly what is known as a "heady"
pitcher. Now and then he puts in ball
that has good bit of pace to it, but he
is not strong enough to keep it up, as
does Highlands, and relies on deceiving
the batter by his curves and by varying
the pace He never loses his nerve, and
is one OF the most valuable men to a
nine at critical moments in game.
1t requires strength as well as skill to
fill the box creditably, and many a man
obliged to give up trying for the position
sionslly, pitcher combines speed, head
mediately find" of the rarest descrip-
ton to his nine. Such one Carter
seems to be. He is not quite twenty
years old, weighs III pounds stripped,
and stands 6 feet inches high. He has
played ball, as has every other lad, from
boyhood, but first put on uniform with
the Y. NJ. G. A. nine of Brooklyn, and
caught for them the years the team won
the championship-'SS and 49, He en-
tered Yale in 2,and played successful
season behind the bat. He is natural
ball player, and does equally we'll infield,
outfeld or in either battery position. He
has always had great arm, and his
throwing to bases is accomplished by an
overland wrist-snap, which makes the
ball "stay-up' on line about three feet
from the ground. In pitching he uses
his natural throw, with the long swing
OF arm and body to give extra momen-
tum. Up to date he has pitched 100 in
nings this season and struck out 1876 men,
and against professionals he has pitched
10 innings and struck oat twenty men.
he certainly is the most effective anna
teur pitcher in the box today.
