THERE WAS A FARO BANK.
"Telsgraph" Defends tho Gambl ers IN,
Lies for Them.

Lies for Them.
The Telegraph feels called upon to defend
the police in their failure to suppress gam
bling by denying that a faro game has
been conducted over Agazzis l. McCon-
neli's saloon. 1t says it has sent a re-
porter 10 investigate. Like ali investiga-
tions of the Telegraph IN this direction. the
sole object was to hide the truth.
Four rooms have been running at tho
place mentioned under the management
of gamblers with ''pull" for several days.
Three of them were used as poker
rooms. where the game of draw
poker was played by profess
sional gamblers and suckers" The
fourth or inner room was devoted to q
faro bank. Wood and Soupiniski had the
ostensible management of the rooms. but
the NJ. & n. crowd betrayed its deep inter-
est in the game by acting as boosters and
steerers.
The Telegraph reporter. willing to please
his employers by reporting that there was
no game. either failed to push his
Investigations to the fourth, or in
ner room, where the faro bank
had done a lively business the night
before. or turned in false report. The
exposure of the game in the PosT-INTELLr-
GEScER has had the effect Of closing it
temporarily. but it will doubtless resume
business at this or some other stand as
soon as it thinks it can do SO without the
public being informed.

CATCHING UP WITH PORTLAND.


Tse Sunset Telephone and Telegraph
Corr pany yesterday reached landmark
In iss business in this city, the number Of
phones having been increased to an even
;,0ost. This puts Seattle far ahead of Ia
coma. that city having only $50. and
bri,ss,s IL very close TO Portland. which has
abont LOO. Immediately after the fire in
1889 tins city had only about 300 phones.
and On March I. 1892. just . year ago. it
had Sill. 90 that the increase has been
neatly 20 per cent. in the year.
A. J. Clark, the manager. is naturally
prosd Of having the city reach such a
poii,i Of prominence, As he considers the
MURDER Of phones in use safe indication
Of tee growth Of its business. He said to
aPsssT-INrEfLyGENcER reporter:
] tall you this Ct ~ Is growing: it 10 growing
fast There is no better evidence OF the fact
than The number Of phones it has. We have
left Tacoma behind and now We are going to
start ritter Portland. We shall catch up inside

Fan Francisco.
The central Office now employs twenty
opeYT tors, and they are kept busy almost
constantly. Three Of them are engaged
in simply cutting off connections when
the ,aatrons are through talking Mr..
Clar.s says that better service would be
glvers. if customers did not allow their
phonas to be used by 'deadheads," who.
he CLAIMS, are no better than persons who
make secret connections with water mains
and cake water from the city withou: pay
ing t:,r il. He has started . campaign
against them, and in the forthcoming sup
plem.nt will pubiish the following notice
TO Subscribers:
We nave received reports from 4 number OF
our Subscribers complaining OF not being an
swered promptly at times, and in Justice to our
selves We would state that after investigation
We hate found ahat subscribers are allowing
their ,ahones to be used TO euch an extent by
non-ssoscrib1s that we are now making over
1900 .eadhesd switches PR day. Seattle has az
good \. not the best telephone system in the
county,. No pains have been spared to make it
such, sud TO keep il at that point We have nearly
doublsi the force of operators. We must, there
fore, ask our subscribers to help us in the work
and To- .inpFess upon them the fact that when
they ai.ow n non-subscriher to use their instru-
ment sne operator who answers them Is probably

turn to the blacksmith, vino held it on q

two charges were rammed home and vol
leyed and thundered. Meanwhile the
militia was striving to get out papers.
Capt. Sherman prepared . bond OF indem-
nifty as guarantee of the return to his
custody and keeping of the gun which
went astray. But before the process of
law could be accomplished the Democrats
had rejolced to their fill. and by the time
the papers were ready for service the can
non was resting peacefully at the re ar OF
the armory, and 50 the war ended.

VICTORIA, March 4.-[SpeciaI. Grave
fears are expressed in naval circles for the
safety of her majesty's ship Garnet. which
left the southern waters for Honolulu VIA

not called at Acapulco and, if nothing is
heard from her next week, one of the other
ships on the station will be dispatched in
search of her.
The Garnet is third-class cruiser of

power. She is commanded by Capt.
