Overhsuled BY Officers.
Tacoma. June 97.-LArry Kelly, tho
most notorious opium smuggler Of the
sound region, was captured red hand
Cd yesterday by Inspectors r. G. Dean,
Of Port Townsend, and Fred King, Of
Tacoma.
The capture Of Kelly marks the end
Of chase that has continued for three
months BY King and for between three
and four weeks BY tho two inspectors
combined.
For several months il has been
known that smuggling was being car
ried on between British Columbia Oft
les and points In the vicinity OF Taco
ma and Olympia, but % adroitly has
it been worked, that the most careful
Watching failed to intercept the
"dope."
Several days ago Messrs. King and
Dean secured clews. acting upon which
they bruised in q small government
gasoline launch in the vicinity Of
vashon island and along the west pas
sage and in the waters opposite Seat
tie.
Shortly before noon yesterday they
passed Point Defiance and sighted
small sloop which had just passed
through the Narrows and with sails,
set and the tide behind it was appar-
emily making for Olympia.
Dean and King gave chase, but the
occupant Of the sloop appeared not to
suspect that he was being followed and
continued down the channel until op-
posite McNeil's island, when the
launch overhauled him.
When the crafts were within easy
hailing distance and escape was impos-
sible, Kelly appeared to realize his po-
sition and tried to make speed by u.s.
ing his oars. The inspectors ordered
him to stop, telling him that they were
officers.
"Well, you've got me, and I've got
the stuff, ]" Kelly replied.
Chow much have your" Dean asked.
''Sixty pounds" replied the SNUG
gler.
When Dean expressed surprise that
he should take the chance of arrest for
such small cargo Of contraband. Kel-
~ justified the hazard by declaring
that he bought all he could with his
limited capital. He was taken into
custody and the sloop was hitched to
the launch and towed to Tacoma. The
sloop will be confiscated.

Representation have been made to
the president that, in view Of ALLEGED
harsh treatment accorded to many Chi
nese seeking landing in the United
States, the commercial guilds of China
have determined to institute boycott
on American manufacturers. The rep
reservations, backed by the influence
Ut the American Asiatic Society and
commercial bodies throughout the
country, induced the president to make
an investigationof the situation with
view to remedying the conditions
complained Of, il they were found to
exist. The subject was discussed thor
oughly with. Secretary Metcalf, OF the
department Of commerce and labor,
who has supervision Of the immigra-
ton bureau.
Win Accept Certificates,
Az the result Of the inquiry, orders
have been issued to the diplomatic and
consular representatives of the United
States in China by the president that
they must look closely to the perform
ance Of their duties under the exclusion
law and see &c it that members Of the
exempt Glasses coming to this country
are provided with proper CERTIFICATES.
These CERTIFICATES will be accepted at
any port of the United States and will
guarantee the bearer against any harsh
or discourteous treatment. Such treat
ment, indeed, will be the cause of the
instant dismissal of the offending Off
cial, whoever he may be.
In addition to the presidents order,
Secretary Metcalf has issued instruc-
tions to the immigration officers which
it is believed will remedy the difficulty
heretofore complained Of by the Chi
nese government and individuals. II
is anticipated the action taken will
meet the objections Of the Chinese and
will avoid trade difficulties.
The official correspondence and or
ders on the Subject has been made pub

DO your hens 'lay?" "Why
certainly" They have milk to run
to every day, and that may have
something to do with it. Eggs pay,
these times. They are worth a
cent and half apiece, and a few
gathered every day pays the groc-
cry bill. Poultry needs care, as
well as anything else. Warm quar-
tiers is one thing essentially neces-
sary. If the animal heat of the
biddy is all consumed keeping her
body warm the egg mandatory is
necessarily idle. This idleness is
also fostered by mites. They sap
the body so that the life principle is
all taken up in an effort to restore
the depletion. Keep the hen house
clean. Have it fioored, and then it
can be scalded, and the mites easily
kept down.

DONE WITH WHITNEY
President Roosevelt Declines to
See or Hear Him as to
That Dispute.
WRITES HIM A SALTY LETTER
Charges Him with Either Lack of
Brains or HOnOr-Text of the
Correspondence.

Boston, Nov. 21.-Henry NJ. Whit
ney, Democratic candidate for lieuten-
ant governor at the last election, has
made public correspondence which had
been passed between President ROOSe-
welt and himself concerning the state
ments made by the president during
an interview last winter which was
granted to committee from Massa-
chusetts on reciprocal trade relations.
The president informed a Massachu-
sets committee that called on him
last week in favor of free hides that
Whitney had deliberately misrepre-
scented what had occurred at last win
ters conference. With this experience
in mind the president declined to enter
up on discussion of free hides with
the free hides committee, the chairman
of which was Governor William l..
Douglas.
Statement That Caused the Trouble.
The statement of Whitney during
the recent canvass in Massachusetts
that the president told him he favored
reciprocity With Canada was that to
which the president took exceptions.
After the president had made public
his address to the hides committee
charging Whitney with misrepresenta-
ton, Whitney maintained that the
president had certainly spoken in favor
of reciprocity with Canada on broad
lines during their interview. Whitney's
letter to the president follows. It is
dated Boston, Mass, Nov: IL, 1905:
Says Injustice Has Been Done.
''Sir-You have done me a great in
justice in publicly asserting that l have
willfully misrepresented your attitude
on the question of reciprocity with
Canada, and that this was done in

charge. l claim in my humble way to

Whitney Pleads Not. Guilty.
'You have charged me with an Of
Tense of which l am not guilty; you
have condemned me unheard. l appeal
to your sense Of fairness for "a per-
sonal hearing. My public utterances
touching your attitude on this question

REPLY OF THE PRESIDENT
Refuses to Have Anything More to Do
with Whitney.

Refuses to Have Anything More to Do
with Whitney.
The letter from the president to
Whitney is as follows. 1t is dated
Nov. IS, 1905:
"Sir-I have your letter of the 18th
inst. In view of my previous expert
ence with you l am obliged to state,
with regret, that it is out of the ques-
ton for me to grant you another in
terview. In this letter of Nov 18th
in which you make this request, you
furnish additional evidence Of the wis
dom of my refusing to communicate
further with you; my refusal being
based upon your evident inability to
understand, or determination to mis-
represent, what l say.
I'm this letter you state that you
regret more than anything else in con-
nection with this matter that the right
eous cause of reciprocity with neigh
boring countries, of so much value to
our people and to the whole of the
human race, is not to have the indOrse-
ment of your [my] great name and the
benefit of yourl [my] potent aid
Nothing that 1 have said at any
time has given you the slightest war
rant for making this assertion; and
when, in the very letter asking for an
interview and denying that you ever
willfully misrepresented my previous
remarks, you incorporate another de-
liberate misStatement you can hardly
wonder that l decline to see you; nor
would there in any event be the slight
est point in such an interview.
"In your speeches you pretended to
quote from memory certain statements
made in the course of long conversa-
tion occurring nearly year previous.
You quoted portions of what l said
even as to these portions your lam
guage was inaccurate and all the con-
text was suppressed. AS result you
as completely misrepresented me rs in
the sentence of your present letter
which l quote above.

Mining Notes.

The secret disclosed by the drill
on the well known Eberle range
eight miles west of Lancaster is
very important, and emphasizes the
fact that the range is rich one and
IN few years will be fully explored
and developed for it's entire length.
One hole was drilled on the Joshua
Pritchett farm, one-half mile south
of the Eberle mine and 300 feet
west of the Philips & Dechow
mine. This hole was IS feet south
Of the range and rich ore bearing
dirt was struck at 142 feet. Here
25 feet of paying disseminated ore
was found, and next five feet of
very rich ore was discovered. The
last five feet was a stratum Of clay
and limestone.
The second drill hole is in a more
favorable position and will be
finished this week. Much better
reports are expected from this
second drilling, which is directly
within the range. At last reports
the hole was down 100 feet.
These explorations are conducted
by the Lancaster Klondike Mining
company, which is determined to
discover the exact value of the
hidden strata Of that very promis-
ing range. Tho prospect is close
enough to this city to be of interest
to all who are inter ested in the
development of the new mining
industry in this vicinity. A number
of paying mines within radius of
eight mines of Lancaster would
mean very much to the city. The
Eberles prospect is one which it
will pay to thoroughly develop.
The Williams mine east of Dodge
vile cleared for it's owners last
month $4,000. They expect to
make So, ZOO this month with nine
men working eight hours.

One of most important deals IN
real estate that has taken place in
this vicinity for some time was com
pleted recently in the sale of a
278 acre farm owned by the Bell
Bros. in Millbrig to Montgomery
Ward of mail order fame. By tho
terms of the transaction not only the
land itself but also the mill and
property is disposed of, the con-
sideration being placed at 1874, 900.
The transfer of the property
has been under way for some weeks
and was brought to a successful
close through the efforts of Circuit
Clerk Ell. L. Heer. The plans of the
purchaser have not been announced
definitely as yet, although it is
generally understood that the lard
has been purchased because Of it's
mining prospects.
