CANDLES FUNERAL.

All that was mortal of William P.
Gamble was laid away in a receiving
vault at Mountain View Cemetery, Oak
land, yesterday. The funeral services
were held from Halsteads undertaking
establishment and an immense concourse
of friends Of the dead man gathered to
pay their last tribute Of respect. Event
ually the body will be inferred at the
home Of his youth in Tuolumne County
Now that he is dead there are many
stories told of the generosity and kind
ness Of heart which was distinguishing
trait Of the dead man. A notable in
stance of this was when Julian B. Arnold.
son Of Sir Edwin Arnold. author of the
Light of ASIA" was arrested here,
charged with the embezzlement of several
hundred thousand dollars in England He
was Federal prisoner and ordered de-
ported. All Of the money in his possess
sion was taken from him and his wife
was left destitute in a strange city. Sam
BILE, who, custodian of the prison, be-
came acquainted with Mrs. Arnolds con-
dition, took her to the hotel where he and
his wife resided and out Of his own
pocket betrayed her expenses until such
time as she could receive assistance
from her friends in England.

THOUSANDS OF VISITORS.

The rooms Of the association presented
a gala scene yesterday and thousands OF
Chinese availed- themselves of the oppor-
tunity of visiting the building and par
taking of the. daily banquet at p. m.
Whites are also admitted every after
noon and evening. Several Chinese or
chestras are in attendance and play at
stated periods. The religious services are
held in the evening and a score of red
robed priests officiate.
One Of the handsomest donations this
year has been made by DR.. Wong Him.
1t is a hand carved bamboo arch, gor-
geously colored and gilded, commanding
the entrance to the inner sanctuary, and
cost $500. Jang Quong Mong, Lum Uck
Yung and Jang Lew Linn have presented

Yook Lin sent two carved stands of the

MAY BE OTHERS.

The continued activity Of the Federal
authorities gives rise to the suspicion
that the end Of the substitution scandal
has not been reached. There are half
veiled assertions of those supposed to
know that there are one or more deputy
marshals in addition TO Gamble who " ere
sharing in this unlawful money. United
States District Attorney Woodwork says
that all of the white men suspected of
completely in the scandal have been ar
rested. United States Marshal Shine
claims that no one else in his office had
any hand in the unlawful substitution of
Chinese. But both of these officials have
made a deliberate practice of giving out
misleading statements in connection with
this matter and only admitted the truth
when forced to by the exclusive pubhca-
ton in The Call Of CANDLES confession.
CANDLES confession did not implicate
other deputy marshals. In fact it was
only after the utmost persuasion that he
was induced to disclose the connection of
Dasha, Burnett and Dempsey with the
work. But other deputies have handled
chinese ordered for deportation, and they
might have entered into the substitution
conspiracy without the personal knowl-
edge Of Gamble. If, in his attempt to
clear himself, Dempsey makes public all
he knows of the matter, as he threatens
to do, II may be that others in the Mar
shaPs office besides the ill-fated Gamble
will be dragged in.

DECIDED INCREASE IN

Already Apparent.

Ofhcial returns. as compiled by the
Bureau of Insular Affairs of the War

September, 1902, the importations to the
Philippine Islands aggregated 81, 7S5. 600
an increase OF more than a half-million
dollars over the corresponding month OF
the preceding year. and far above the
average of the nine months of the cur
rent year, Tho export trade of s.. $50

since the American occupation.
The hemp expectation alone amounted
10 more than 81, 500. 900. three fourths of
which was sent to the United States
SEs@: and tobacco shipments TO all
countries within the month amounted to
$573,6 The effect of recent legislation

SOME ENVELOPES A NUISANCE.
TwO-by- Three Affairs That Get Lost
in the Mails.

While etiquette may say that the
small envelopes 2x3, and even smaller,
are in style, there is more than one
person who is willing to state that they
are a nuisance, and cause the postma s.
ters, IS well as the clerks in Uncle

the mail sacks l turned the sack upside

would do just as I had done and falling
to see the little envelope drop out he
would throw the sack to one S: lie, think
ing II was empty. The letter in the lit
