SMUGGLING CHINESE.
Sensation Promised on Puget
Sound.
Portland Merchants and Government
Officials Said to Be Engaged in
the Illicit Traffic.
Special 20 THE MORNING CALL

TACOMA. Feb PA Ledger special from
Vancouver. 3. c., says: There have ar
rived in this city during the past few days
two United States special agents and three
citizens of Portland, Or. The presence of
these persons is the outcome of the recent
exposure Of the practice of smuggling
Cinnamon into the United States by means
of forged merchants return certificates.
One of the Portlanders claims to have in
his possession evidence which eliminates
several wealthy merchants of Portland and
also several officials OF the United States
Government on Puget Sound. He says he
knows enough to put several well-known
persons and officials into prison. This man
states that he is going to Washington. D. c.,
in few days 10 lay the whole matter before
the Treasury Department.
a sensation may be looked for IL the per-
son mentioned makes public his knowledge
concerning the matter.
So far as the two special agents are con-
cerned, they remained only a few hours in
the city, paying no heed to the matter.
The smuggling Of Chinese is known to all
local newspaper men and others. but the
United States officials on the sound have
thus far taken no cogniZance Of the matter.
Unless some stringent measures are taken
at once hundreds of Cinnamon will be
smuggled through. Chinese were plentiful
here a week ago. but they are now scarce.
Several prominent VaDcOuyertes are also
mixed Up in the deal

BRUTAL SLOGGING.
The Match Between HaW-
kinS and Miller.
One of Hawkins Blows Produces Con-
cuSsion of the Brain-flilier
Very Sick rlan.

Judging from the small crowd that was
present at the California Club last night to
witness the feather weight contest between
Dal Hawkins and Billy Miller, which took
place under the auspices of the Pacific
Club, it would seem as if the public is grow
ing tired of small fry slogging matches.
The purse which the pugilists fought for
was $3.50, which amount will be considered
quite large sum year from now.
The battle was very much one-sided.
Miller, although very game fellows could
not punch and the only blows he landed on
Hawkins were chance shots, which the
latter should have avoided. as they were
delivered in a very clumsy manner.
As a taker of punishment Miller Is en-
titled TO as much distinction as jim Burge,
1.-The Iron Man."
He is one of the few Swedes who figure
In the pugilistic category. and were he
possessed Of half the science Of Hawkins
he would have whipped the latter in quick
order.
The fight lasted fifteen rounds, and had
Miller held his ground much longer Haw-
kins would not have been able to whip him.
as his blows lacked driving power, aud to
make matters worse for Hawkins he broke
the knuckles of his right hand On post IN
the attempt to put Miller asleep.
The defeated pug had face that resem-
bled chopped beefsteak when carried from
the ring. and his stomach and sides must
have been as sore as his face from the many
yisitations of Hawkins right fist. In all
probability this will be one Of the last
scrapping matches witnessed in the clubs
here as report from Sacramento states
that the prize-fghtiDg bill will come up be-
fore the nate next week, and the result
can be easily imagined.
AS Miller appeared to be very seriously
injured. Sergeant Coles and his men placed
Hawkins and the seconds under arrest and
took them to the Folsom-stre station, to
be detained until it Is determined what
Miller's chances are.
The men detained at the station are Del
Hawkins, the principal, and James Kelley
(alas 1.-The Spider'O, Tom McGrath, John
Hicks and Tom Livingstone, seconds.
At the Receiving Hospital the physicians
declared that the injured man was suffering
from conclusion of the brain. and al late
nour be was still in precarious condition.
Hawkins refused TO talk about the affair
further than 10 say that he had nothing to
say till he knew how the injuries OF Miller
were going 70 terminate.
The doors OF the station were besieged
with sports and hangers-on. all anxious to
see Hawkins, which was denied in all
instances.

OF which Allen Marvel was president,

"Of course we all knew for the last few

was too late.
81 knew Mr.. Marvel intimately and can
truthfully say | never met a harder worker
in all my life. He was working all the
time. No man could stand the strain he
underwent. There are not any two rail-
road presidents in the United States that
equaled Marvel In the amount of real labor
he performed. The tasks he imposed upon
himself In attending the minute details OF
controlling almost dozen railroad systems
and governing an army OF $1,000 employees
were simply prOdigious. and enough to
appal an ordinary man who did not have
his tremendous capacity for labor. In him

"Do you know whether Mr.. Marvel
