Interpreter 6ich if Ee Would
Assist Them.

SEATTLE, WASH, Sept. 21.-George w.
White, the special Treasury agent who
was sent to the sound from New York by
Secretary Gage to investigate the late
smuggling ring. went before United States
Commissioner Kiefer this evening and
swore TO two informations which later re-
suited in the arrest of two Chinese on a
charge OF tempting to bribe the Govern
ment Interpreter. DT. ]. E. Gardner OF San
Francisco.
The arrested men are Yee Gee, who is
already under bail TO answer tc the Grand
Jury for smuggling 1000 Chinese into the
United States while acting as interpreter
for ex-Collecior of Customs ]. c. Saun-
ders, aud Ching Gee Hee, the weaIthiest
Chinaman in the city, who has resided
here for twenty-eight years. Ching has
been the Chinese representative of the
Canadian Pacific Railroad Company for
eight years. He is in Jail tonight, but
will get bonds tomorrow, as he has great
influence.
1t is stated that on the 14th Yee Gee
sent for DIR. Gardner and told him he un-
derstood that he was to interpret the let
ters which the Government officers had
seIzad in his place of business at Port
Townsend. Gardner replied in the affirm
ative, and Gee is credited with having
said:
"If you will agree to place different in
terpretation on these letters and do as
say l will make You a rich man."
Gardner refused the offer, but Gee per-
sisted in coming to terms with him.
Gardner left him and reported the matter
to Agent Whitehead. Several other at
tempts were made TO bribe Gardner. Gee
approached him and so did his local
friends. Two days later Chin Gee H ee
saw Gardner, took him aside and offered
him big money TO misinterpret the letters.
He told Gardner that the case would be
defeated, any how. and that he might as
we'll make stake out of it. Gardner re-
fused to listen to him and the Government
officers were notified.

could be found. The alarm was given
that he had escaped. An investigation
was Instituted by Captain Birlem, and it
was found that Marshal had gone to the
round guard house on the LII. Instead OF
making the bed he had picked out suit
Of clothes belonging 10 the guard and
exchanged it for his suit of stripes. Then,
dressed as citizen, h he walked forth to
freedom. Later Investigations show that
after leaving the guardhouse he walked
over the hill toward San Rafael. His
tracks were followed as far as the Cali
fornia Schuetzen Park, about one mile
below San Rafael. Here trace of him was
lost, and it is thought he boarded train
al this place for San Rafael.
Marshal has, it is said, brother in
Santa Rosa and the prison authorities be-
lieve he has left for that city. Marshal is
teamster by occupation, feet Az
inches in height, with blue eyes, fair com
plexion and brown halr. He weighs ITS
pounds and is SO years OF age.
Eugene Kiemmer of San Rafael claims
to have seen Marshal about noon. Klem-
mer says that man came into a store in
which he is employed about noon and
purchased cents worth of crackers and a
piece of cheese. When shown MarshaTs
picture Klemmer identified it as that OF
the man he had sold the crackers and the
cheese to.
Marshal's escape is one of the neatest
that has ever been attempted at the
prison. He took an entire change of cloth
ing from the guard house, with the excep-
ton of pair of Shoes Warden Hale
this afternoon offered reward of $50 for
the return OF the prisoner. Marshal was
trusted somewhat about the prison and
the position of room tender which he oc-
cupied took him outside the walls OF the
prison. but not beyond the limits of the
prison grounds.

Cod Seekers Intend to Drive Horse
and Dog Teams to the Frozen
Kiondjke,

SEATTLE, WASH, Sept. 21.-Travel to
the gold mines of The Yukon will be kept
up all winter. Intrepid men, oblivious to
the dangers of the terrible winter, biz
yards and icy temperature of the Arctic
Circle, will drive horse and dog teams
over the ice-bound rivers and cross the
mountain ranges over the snow in the
search for gold.
1t Is plain that the exodus of gold-seek-
ers north, while it will not be heavy this
winter, will continue till spring.

yesterday from the Corey party which
went TO Dawson City by way of Skaguay
T. i. Corey, the head of the party, was for

A FORMIDABLE LOBBY.
to Use Their Influence Against Bill
TO segreEate kansas City. Kas.

Mayor Twiss, number of the city coun-
cilmen, several business men and attor
neys. as well as two members of the police
board will go to Topeka to-day to work
against Senator Zimmer's bill to divorce
Armourdale from Kansas City, Kas., and
make the present Sixth ward a city of the
second class. The bill has been reported
favorably TO the senate by a committee
and to-day at 80 the house committee will
hear arguments for and against the pro-
posed measure.
A large majority of the citizens of Kan
sas City. Kas., are opposed to the passage
of the bill. 1t is generally known that
Governor Leedy gets great deal of his
information regarding Kansas City, Kas.,
affairs from relative, John Horton, sec
upon the advice given by him and Chief
Quarles and Messrs. jenkins and Mccain
bridge. These men are not in favor of al
lowing the Sixth ward to secede and it is
believed that the right move has been
made to have the measure killed in the
house.
The seceders, however, are still very con-
fident of success and yesterday there was
a delegation of them at the county court
house preparing tabulated statement
showing what proportion of the taxes of
Kansas City, kas.. are paid by the Sixth
ward. The opposition is satisfied that Mr.

WHEN DOCTORS DISAGREE.
1t Is Perhaps Well Enough to Take
Care of Yourself, Anyhow, for
Grin Is General.

Is Kansas City threatened with an cpl
demic of the grip, and. If so, is the dis
ease contagious?
Physicians agree that the disease Is
alarmingly prevalent in all parts of the
city, the peculiar weather conditions be-
ing just the kind to foster il. They are
rot agreed, however. as to whether 1t
should be classed among the contagious
diseases.
DR.. l.. A. Berger was asked last night
if he found an unusual number of cases,
and he answered that he did. 'The grip
prevails throughout the city SO generally,
said he. that it may almost be called an
epidemic. l have n great many cases, par
ticularly among old people. The form in
which ! find it in my practice Is very seri-
Gus. The disease is contagious one, and
the utmost precautions should be used to
guard against its spread. / wish you would
say to the readers of The Journal that the
popular remedy. quinine. is of no earthly
use for curing the grip. Calomel is the best
remedy if rightly used. Whisky and horse
radish? oh, yes; that's good remedy,
too
DR.. E. r. Lewis said: 'I find great
many cases of grip. and it may be said to
be quite general all over the city. The dis
ease is not contagious, and there can
hardly be said to be any danger of an cpl
demic,"
