Hoard Of Hidden Gems and Arrest
the Owner.
New York, Nov. 21.-Ten thousand
smuggled pearls of all sizes, some imi-
tation and some genuine gems, were
taken TO the custom house yesterday
and spread out in Collector Bidweli's
office. To-day they will be taken to
the appraisers stores, where the gov
ernment experts will pass upon their
value. The pearls were seized by
Special Treasury Agent Theobald
from Francois Book, dealer in gems,
of Providence, r. l. Book arrived on
the Bretagne, but preceding him had
come cable message to the customs
officials telling that the Providence
man had pearls of great price in his
possession. To the inspector Book
declared that he had nothing dutiable.
He declared also that he was going
to Mexico at once and said nothing
about his business in Providence. SO
Special Agent Theobald and the in
spector made a rigid investigation
into his baggage and his pockets.
In Books trunk were three pairs OF
worn shoes, tied together, heel and
toe, and wrapped compactly in news
papers. Inside each pair of shoes
were many packages of half pearls.
There were two quarts OF the gems
altogether. They were of all sizes
and until the experts examine them
it will not be known what are genuine
and what are imitation. These half
pearls are used extensively in the
manufacture of jewelry, and the imi-
tation article is expensive. Both the
true and the false are dutiable.
When the officers had secured all
the pearls from Books trunk they ex-
amined his wearing apparel. In the
inside pockets of his top coat they
found packages containing 40 beauti'
full specimens. In the tail pocket OF
his cutaway coat was another pack
age and there were more in other
pockets. The custom otticials are in.
clined to think the pearls found ON
Books person are genuine and that
the others are possibly limitations. A
rough estimate of the value of the en-.
tire seizure is $4,000.
Book does not speak English. He
said he was born in Austria and had
gone from Trieste to Paris. Special
Agent Theobald has learned of a trip
that Book made from Paris to this
country last May and regrets that
Books baggage was not searched al
that time. Book spent Sunday night
in police station and yesterday was
taken before United States Commits.
sioner Shields and held in $4,000 bail.
He had no means of securing bail and
went to Ludlow street jan. The
treasury agents say they have no evi'
dence to show that Book mad any ac-
| complices,

GEN. wHEELER's ADVICE.
He Says Congress should Declare that
American Sovereignty Is n Fact in
the Philippines.

Manila, Nov. 21.-Gen. Wheeler has
decided not to return for congress.
He is writing letter 10 President Nc
Kinley with the request that it be
forwarded to the house of representa-
tives. In an interview he said:
Congress, if it occupies the first day
Of the session in passing a resolution
declaring in unmistakeable terms that
the sovereignty Of the United States
is to be maintained in the Philippines,
thus dispeiling Aguinaldo's delusion
that the anti-imperlalists can assist
him, will be performing sacred duty.
Such u resolution would save the lives
of many American soldiers and of
thousands of deluded Filipinos, would
avert famine, suffering and desolation
from these islands and would render
unnecessary the expenditure of hun
dreds of millions of dollars"

A Plan for Political Fusion.

Columbus Nov. 16.-One of the most
prominent democrats of Ohio is au-
tbority for the statement that a con-
ference is TO be held by the leaders OF
the democratic, union reform and
socialist labor parties and the leaders
of the Jones campaign, seeking to
bring about fusion of those inter
ests. The reason given for this is
that Nash did not have majority OF
the votes cast in the recent election
for governor and it is hoped, if the
fusion can be brought about, that the
anti-imperialists can defeat Mckinley
in Ohio at the presidential election.
