GAS AN ACT OF GRACE"
An Expression by the South African
Claims Commission that May
Require Notice.

Washington, Aug. 14.-The Ameri'
can claims which are being presented
to the South African compensation
commission now sitting at London,
are understood to be those presented
to the state department and forward
ed to Ambassador Choate. The am
bassador was asked to put these
claims in the proper channel for
formal presentation, and he was au-
thorized TO secure the services of
such counsel as might be necessary
1t is probable that Mr.. Newton Crane,
who is referred to as counsel for the
American claimants, is acting under
this authorization, or he may be look
ing after the individual interests OF
the claimants. At this distance, ahj
in the lack of any official reports
there is no disposition on the part of
any official reports here to discuss
the questions raised during the hear
ing of the claims Monday. The re-
ported ruling that certain claims for
deportation could not be allowed cX
cept as ian act of grace" might pre-
sent issues on which suitable dip!o
matte representation would he made
when the facts were officially com
municated.

WHOLESALE SMUGGLING.
Chinese Snid TO he PersistentIy
SmugGIed Across the border
From British Columbia.

San Francisco, Aug. 14.-Discov-
cries have just been made, says a
Santa Barbara (Cal.) special 10 the
Chronicle, which are believed to es.
tablish conclusively that wholesale
smuggling of Chinese from British
Columbia into the United States
through Santa Barbara has been car
ried on. The revenue officials were
notified several weeks ago, and for
three weeks the revenue cutter Nc
Culloch has been cruising in the wa
ters of Santa Barbara channel in
search of evidence. The smuggling
scheme is outlined as follows.
Lumber laden vessels leave Puget
sound for southern California points,
and, after getting well out to sea,
run over to Vancouver, b. c., and pick
up Chinese, which are ostensiby Y
shipped as part of the crew. Some of
these vessels put into Port Hartford,
San Pedro and other ports with crews
more than twice as large as neces-
sary. When sailing for the north, the
crews consist almost exclusively OF
white sailors.

NEW YORK POLICE SCANDAL.
Gov. Odell Has Given 1t Out Flat
that Present ScandnIous Com
ditiOns Must Cease.

New York, Aug. 14.-Deputy Police
Commissioner Devery's connection
with the police department of this
city must end at once. Such it Gov
Odell's decision.
The governor has begun an investi-
CATION of the charges of police cor
ruption in this city, which is likely to
lead to one of two things: The re-
moval by Commissioner Murphy of
his deputy, William S. Devery, or the
suspension by the governor from Of
flee of Mayor Van Wyck, pending Il
hearing on charges of malfeasance
in office.
1t is a question between sacrificing
the acting head of the police depart
ment, against whom the confession
of Edgar A. Whitney is said to be a
link in Il chain of evidence, and al
lowing the mayor to face a trial be-
fore the governor for continuing men
in Office Who are responsible for the
present scandalous state OF affairs.

A CLEVER BANK SWINDLE.
A Chicago Bank Said to Have Been
Done to the Extent of Thir-
ty Thousand Dollars.

Chicago, Aug. 14.-It has leaked out
here that one of the Chicago banks
was recently swindled out of $4,000
in cash in a skillful manner. An eff
fort is being made to keep the matter
secret, and not even the name of the
bank is given. 1t seems that de-
positor of several years standing ap-
peared one day in the bank presi-
dents Office with draft on London
for $4,000 which was perfectly good.
The depositor informed the president
he desired to deposit his London
draft, and at the same time to check
against it, presenting his check for
100000 for the president to o. X.
The latter put his initials on it and
thought nothing of it. 1t seems, how
ever, that the depositor went out in
to the bank and deposited his London
draft. and on the following day pre-
sented check for 100000, which was
paid the teller knowing that amount
was to his credit on the books. Later
in the day he again appeared at the
window and presented the check fol
100000, which had been initiated by
the president. This check was alsC
paid. Nothing more has since beer
seen of the depositor.

TRAFFIC is UNHINDERED.
Predatory Warfare in the Vicinity
OF the Panama Railroad Has
Produced No Alarm.

New York, Aug. 14.-Senor Arturo
De Brigard, consul general for CO.
lumbia in this city, has received the
following cable dispatch from Acting
Gov. Aristides Arizona, of Panama.:
Traffic continues unhindered. Pre-
datory warfare carried on around
railroad has produced no alarm.
General situation is satisfactory"
The railroad referred to in this
message is that owned by the Panama
Railroad Co., for the protection of
which President J. Edward Simmons
has asked this government to send a
warship.
Consul-General De Briguard charac-
terizes the statement made by the
revolutionists that they have 5000
men in arms in the department of
Panama, as untrue.
1T is also untrue" he said, that
the government has done nothing to
conciliate the liberals. President
Marroquin has issued several DEGREES
guaranteeing freedom. The govern
ment does not, as has been stated,
persecutc the families of the revolu-
tionists. In fact, the family of Gen
Tribe is in Bogota now enjoying the
same privileges as mine would, were
they there"
Ne steamer Alene has just arrived
from Cavanilla and Cartagena. One
of the officers says:
Every little news is permitted tc
get out, although it is known on the
coast that some desperate fighting has
recently taken place in the interior

RECEIVING SHIP VERMONT.
Probable the Old Vessel Will be
Overhnnled, Fumigated and
Put In Service Again.

New York, Aug. 14.-It is not un-
likely that the old receiving ship YER
mont may be returned to her station
at the Brooklyn navy yard and con-
tinue as the receiving ship, taking the
place of the Columbia, recently or
dered to replace her. The special
board appointed by Rear-Admiral
Barker, consisting of Capt. Snow,
ant-Commander Hall, Lieuten-
ant-Commander Bronaugh and Con-
structor Capps, has protested against
the proposed substitution of the cruis-
er Columbia for the Vermont as re-
ceiving ship. They say it would be
too expensive. The suggestion has
been that the Vermont be thorough
ly fumigated and put in good sani-
tary condition.

NUMBER 6.
SELBY SMELTER TREASURE.
Nearly All of the Gold stolen from
the seIby Smelling Co. Recov-
ered-Question of Reward.

San Francisco, Aug. 13.-It was
stated at the office of the Selby Smelt-
ing Co. yesterday noon that force
of divers under the management OF
the Pinllertons had yesterday taken
S65, 900 worth of gold from the spot
where it was hidden by Winters, max
ing nearly two hundred thousand dol
lars already recovered. 1t is expect
ed that the remainder of the stolen
treasure, amounting to $4,000, Will
be recovered.
Winters is still detained by the Of
ficcrs in this city, but has not been
formally charged with the crime. The
fact that he has not been charged
with any crime lends additional
weight to the belief entertained In
some quarters that he will be lenient-
ly dealt with by the law for confess
ing the crime and locating the spot
where he secreted the bullion.
There promises TO be lively fight
between the detectives over the re-
ward money, and the matter may
eventually be taken into court for
settlement.
Detective Morse, who, II is stated,
/ definitely fixed upon Winters the au-
/ thorship of the crime, states that he
/ got his first information from Don
/ Edison, an employe of the works who
formerly roomed with Winters. Act
ing upon this information Morse
| gathered sufficient evidence against
Winters to warrant the arrest of the
latter.
Morse. who is a detective for the
Selby people, does not claim any OF
the reward, but states that large
portion of it should be divided be
tween Donaldson and Sheriff eal, OF
Contra Costa county. The tawyer'
of the last named are drawing up pa
pers setting forth the claims tT Don
aldson and Veal.

Helena, Mont. Aug. 1.-two men
were killed and two others staggered
into the open air with almost their
last gasp as the result of peculiar
accident which occurred in the new
tunnel III the Minah mine, at Wickes,
Mont. The four men had gone to the
end of the tunnel, distance of 2,600
feet and were engaged in sinking a

The smoke from the engine had been
carried to a tunnel above the one in
which the men were engaged, from
where it was dissipated by means OF
an air shaft. Monday night, after
the men had been working several
hours, the air shaft became stopped
up and the smoke was forced to re
turn to the tunnel where it original

danger they began retreat and haC
reached a point 200 feet from til,
