 Police Yesterday.
 Sergeant Hayes, with Patrolmen Kel- ly, E. J. Reilly and Wrinn yesterday afternoon raided the saloon of John J. Shea at No. Wooster street, corner of East street. Shea has frequently brag- ged that the police could not catch him selling Sunday. Sergeant Hayes and Patrolman Kelly yesterday afternoon approached the place on Wooster street while Reilly and Wrinn went from Chapel street through East street on 8 car and jumped off on the East street side of the saloon. Shea was on watch in front of the saloon and when he saw the police coming ran in to give the alarm. The police were too quick for him, however, and bursting into the sa- loon they found the bartender, Daniel Shea of 164 East street, behind the bar and men in the place.
 Shea. the bartender, was arrested, and the proprietor of the place will be arrested to-day.
 Sergeant Hayes and Patrolmen Kelly and B. J. Reilly also made rail at 1881 State street, where they found Mary c. Condon dispensing drinks. Her apartments are over Casey's saloon at the corner of State and Ferry streets, and Casey boards with her. The police found liquors hidden under the ticks of bed. Complaint will be made to the prosecuting attorney.

UncasEnessn nt Mai fe king,

Mafeking Oct. 1.-Great uneasiness exists here over the massing of the Boers near the frontier. At a largely attended meeting to-day Mir Kiosle, a former mayor, and other speakers con- plained that the imperial authorities were neglecting to provide proper pro- lection for the inhabitants, as this bor- der is much more exposed than the Natal border. The Boers. backed with artillery, could invade the town in a few hours, Many women, children and refugees, the speakers pointed out, were thus placed in position of great danger. The meeting unanimously adopted a resolution to send telegram to the British high commissioner, Sir Alfred Miner, praying further protec- ton.

T4SHINGTON GENERATION Elaboration Preparations to Give the
 Admiral n Mighty Welcome.

Washington, Oct. 1.-Elaborate prep arations have been made to give Ad-
 miral Dewey glorious and mighty
 welcome when he returns to Washing ton tomorrow evening, the nations he TO. His arrival in the city will be sig nalized by an admiral's salute of sev- enteen guns and a pandemonium of
 noise from all the cannon, bells and steam whistles in or about the city.
 From this time until late In the night
 his presence will let loose the kindled enthusiasm of the thousands who have
 been eagerly awaiting his coming. A
 civil parade of I2.000 men is only a small part of the first nights proceed ings for an immense throng of people will file before him for an hour, their number being limited only by the broad width of Pennsylvania avenue.
 The admiral and the president will occupy a reviewing stand built just south of the treasury building facing Pennsylvania avenue. Tuesday will be the great day of the celebration, how ever for then Admiral Dewey is to be escorted to the capitol by the president and his cabinet and fine military es- cort and presented with the sword vot- ed to him by congress The admiral will ride in the same carriage with the president. The exercises will be brief. They will take place on a reviewing stand erected on the east front of the capitol and fancing the broad espla- made, of which many thousands of per sons gather every fourth year to wit ness the inaugural ceremonies A larger crowd than witnessed any of these presidential exercises will fill the grounds.
 Eight state governors with their StaffS will be among those who will do Admiral Dewey honor. They are: Gov ernors Wolcott of Massachusetts, Pow CTS of Maine, Pingree of Michigan Smith of Vermont, Rollins of New Hampshire, Atkinson of West Virginia, Lowndes of Maryland, and Tyler of Virginia. While here Admiral Dewey will be the guest of Mrs Washington MacLean, mother of John R. MacLean democratic candidate for governor of Ohio. Mrs. Mclean has fine house and not far from the capitol. The city has not been elaborately decorated yet for the occasion, but the promises of the local committee of arrangements appar- ently insure great show of flags bunting and decorations, while an ex- tensive fireworks display has been ar ranged. The weather promises to be fine.

Dewey Day at Montpelier.

Montpelier, Vt., Oct. IA message from Governor Smith to-day was to the effect that Dewey day would be Oc- tober 12. This was the date fixed by the committee having charge of Yer mont's welcome to her honored son, Admiral Dewey, but definite selection of that time rested with the admiral himself.

DISHONEST SAILORS, RnEsrED.
of scotsnian's Crew
 Valunbles Found on Them.

Montreal, Que, Oct. 1.-The list of the Scotsman dead remained unchang ed to-day. Rev. Mr. Chalmers, the Congregational missionary of Hong
 Kong, who was reported missing last
 evening, has been located. The feature
 of the day has been the arrest of twen- ty-three of the Scotman's crew. They arrived in Montreal this morning on the steamer Montfort. On the wharf, waiting to receive them, were twenty police officers. The policemen were kept concealed until the gangways were alongside, when they suddenly swarmed
 on board, and in q trice had rounded
 up the Scotsmans crew It was done so quick that the men had no oppor- tunity of ridding themselves of any traces of guilt Half a dozen patrol wagons were waiting alongside, and into
 these the sailors were hustled amidst
 the jeers and hisses of large crowd which had gathered. Throw them into the river" was the cry that went up. Had it not been for the presence of the police the threat might have been car rled out. The men were taken to the central police station and there search ed. When the search was ended there remained not the slightest doubt of the stories of pillage and violence told by the unlucky passengers on the Scots ann. Among the goods found were diamond rings, watches, brooches, bracelets, chains, earrings jeWelry of every kind, ladies' dresses. silks and eatins, mems wearing apparel and even a ladies sealskin sack was dis covered in the bundle of one of the men. Private papers were even in cluded in the prey. The will of a MT. Lester was taken from one man. On another was found handsome and costly locket, on which was engraved the name of a woman who is numbered among the dead, Some of the men de- nied having anything in their posses sion. One man who did so had $200 worth of jewelry sewed in the inside of his underwear. Others were quite frank and handed over what they had with out hesitation. Judging by the stories told by some of these men the rocks on the morning after the wreck were strewn with jewelry and wearing ap- parel. The Grecian came in about noon, and from her the police took nine cattlemen who were on the Scotsman
 The ottoman, which is due here to- morrow, has tWenty-six of the crew on board and the police expect another haul The largest capture of all is e1,- pected to fall into the possession of the British police when the Monterey ar rives tomorrow or Tuesday.

saying as he plao ed his hand on the mans shoulders: '' nl do that, please don't ask Admiral D wey to shake hands this morning." The man stepped back into the crowd Admiral Dewey seemed much embarrassed by the inci- dent and he first held out his hand and then withdrew it.
 Mayor Van Wyck then seized the op- portunity thus offered to get away and placing his hand under the elbow of Admiral Dewey's right arm, escorted him out through the door. As Admiral Dewey was leaving the room there was burst of applause and he turned and waved salute with his hand as he dis appeared behind the heavy curtains. Mayor Harrison expressed himself as well pleased with the reception given him and the committee. When asked If he thought that Admiral Dewey would go to Chicago he looked sur prised and said ''Go; of course he will. Didn't he say he would go some time. That's what we came for-to get his promise to go whenever he pleased" Ferdinand s. Peck, United States com missioner to the Paris exposition. was dulOllB LHe CHlCdSOdHS lo-udy anu Se'iu' When Admiral Dewey goes to Chi cago, he can have the whole town, the county and the state"
 The corridors of the Waldorf Astoria were thronged all day with people anxious to catch even a glimpse of the great admiral. Early in the morning. they began to come in and they were coming and going all day. But none of them were given the pleasure of seeing Admiral Dewey. He was not down in the corridors of the hotel at any tine When he was escorted to the room to meet the Chicago delegation he was taken down a private stairway and re- turned the same way. In every con- cevable manner his movements were guarded to keep the curious crowd from getting near him.

THE INITIATIVE MOVEMENT.
Belief in Cape Town That Boers Wil
 Not Make It.

Cape Town, Oct. 1.-There is less eX- citement here than nearer the frontier, and, despite the alarming reports many well informed persons in Cape Town discredit the idea that the Boers will take the initiative. President Kruger, it is said, does not despair of the sym pathy of at least portion of the Brit ish liberals and he knows that if the Boers fire the first shot their sympathy will be absolutely forfeited.
 The Cape Argus publishes the follow ing despatch from CharlestoWn: Com mandant General Joubert will com mand the Boer forces at Laings Nek. This is regarded as the Transvaals re- ply to the movements of the British troops. There is considerable uneasi- ness here.'
