ROBB, Sec THE Mill REPUBLIC SEIZED SeDsatioiial Disclosnres of a Former Agent at Victoria. . PASSENGER ADD OPIUM BUSINESS Customs Officials at Portland Said to llavu Keen Cognizant of the Operations ' Arrests May Follow. Associated Press. ; Seattle, May 29.-The steamer ..Hay tian Republic was seized here last night by customs ofllclals. She was searched today and only five pounds of opium found. The customs officers say they did not expect to find more, but the seizure was for past offenses', and that a libel will be filed against her in p. few days. Beyond this they will say nothing. It is known, however, that th ecustoms officers are working on' disclosures made some time ago by John Wilson, the Haytlan Republic at Victoria, B. C. Smarting under real or imaginary wrongs suffered at the hands of the men now operating the Haytlan Republic, he has turned over to the inspector all the correspondence he has hod with the owners of the ves sel during the past nine months conf corning the traffic In opium and Chin ese transportation, and has furnished other evidence of an incriminating na ture. The Haytlan Republic has been under charter to the Merchants' Trans portation Company, of Portland, Wil liam! Dunbar being Manager. Among the correspondence furnished the customs officers some time ago b Wilson were a large number of letters purporting to have been' written by Dunbar and N. Blum, giving Instruo tlons concerning a quantity of 'opium to be brought here from Victoria on each trip. The letters also urge Agent Wilson to push the "passenger" busi ness, showing him that unless he sent them a great number of Chinese pas sengers at $50 per head, they would not be able to meet obligations. He ajsa gave an inspector cipher dispatches and a copy of the cipher used. The word "coal" was used for opium and "tons" for pounds, so that a dispatch saying "Have Republic take 200 tons of coal at Vancouver, B. C," meant "Bring 200 pounds of opium." The dispatches and letters also contain many references to the customs au thorities at Portland, and in some of them intimations are made that they are cognizant of the smuggling opera tions, and reap a large share of reve nue thereffrom. :' Throughout the let ters ore complaints of sums that have to be paid the customs authorities. Special Treasury Agent E. O. Wood refused to say what his tne of i action will be, and would not answer a direct question, "Will the' arrest of any cus toms officers or the owner of the boat follow?" THE GATES MUST OPEN. Chicago, May 29. Oni application of the stockholders Judge Stein, of the Superior court, this morning Issued a temporary injunction restraining the directors of the World's Fair from closing the gates on Sunday. The proceedings in the state court are entirely distinct from the action begun Saturday by the United 8tat district attorney In the federal court. Judge Stein held congress, had made no law compelling Sunday closing . The court held that as the parks wera set apart for the recreation of the public forever, the park commissioners had no power to grant the privilege, nor the -exposition management to exer cise it, of closing the gates oh Sunday. In opposition to the petition it had been urged that this was a Christian government and Christianity a part of the law of the country. "This," said the court, "Is clearly not so. The posi tion is certainly untenable in this coun try of religious freedom." Judge Stein, who rendered the decision Is a He brew. ' THE BRIGGS TRIAL. ' Washington, May 29.

NEWS FROM NICARAGUA. Washington, May 29. For the first time since: his departure for his post as minister to Nicaragua, Mr. Baker has been heard from officially. Secre tary Gresham today received a cable gram from him, sent from Managua; and dated yesterday. The minister thinks a warship is necessary at Cor lonte. No news has readied the state department indicating that American residents of Nicaragua have been treat ed with harshness, as reported in tele grams by way of Salvadore.

(From Our Regular Correspondent) I Washington, May 22. 1893.-Secwtary Carlisle Is showing the country Just what democratic professions of reform ing the Civil Service mean. For many years there has been a rule in the treasury department requiring newly appointed chiefs of divisions to take a hon-competitive examination, merely to .test their general knowledge and intelligence. Several of the democrats appointed chiefs of divisions by Secre tary Carlisle have simply through lack of ordinary Intelligence failed to make even a fairly creditable showing in those examinations and the examln ing committee has been compelled to re port them unfit for the positions they had . been selected to nil. Jia Mr. Carlisle make other and better select ions In place of these men? Not a bit of it. He simply exercised his author lty ' as secretary and issued an order changing the rule, making It read that chiefs of divisions in his department may be excused from taking the de partmental examination at the discre tion of the secretry of the treasury, The result of this order will be that the incompetent democrats will draw the salaries of chiefs while their work will In reality be performed by com petent republican clerks under them No observant man doubts that reforms are needed In the civil service, but he who thinks that they will be made by this administration Is doomed to disappointment. The Geary exclusion act Is to be a dead letter, notwithstanding the Su preme Court decision, until congress meets, If no longer, It having been de. elded by the cabinet to spend what money is now available, as well as the $50,000 that will become available July 1, in prosecuting and deporting those Chinamen who are In America In vio lation of the antl-Chlnese law of 1884, and to let the unregistered Chinese alone. There is much speculation as to the influences the administration brought to bear upon ex-Secretary Falrchlld to cause htm to withdraw his resig nation as chairman of the committee recently appointed to investigate the New York customhouse, after having twice refused in writing to serve on the committee. Mr. Falrchlld has lost friends by allowing himself to be co. erced Into doing something that It Is well known he did not wish to do. The democratic commissioner of pen sions seems to lack the courage of his conviction. A few days ago it was said by his close friends that he had con cluded that the medical boards should be made up hereafter entirely of dem ocrats. There was such a unanimous kick against the manifestly unjust proposition that he made haste to moke a half-hearted denial of his intentions to put it Into effect He admits that he favors such a policy, but says that when the sentiment of the locality in which the boards do their work favored a minority representative on the bbord he would appoint one re publican and two democrats. If there Is a community in this country In which publlo sentiment favors making these boards political machines com posed solely of the members of one party It Is a good community for fair minded men to get out of. No wonder Postmaster General BIs sell said to a delegation the other day, "we are all somebody's menials" ;he had Just received a curta'n lecture from Mr. ClevelanJ because he had dared to make a small appointment in Georgia at the request of Sec. Hoke Smith without first having obtained the approval il Mr. Cleveland. There is no doubt abba'; Blssell's bein. some body's menial , . . IHE ANDERSON RATE il Tee Northern Pacific Will Conform to Its Terms, RELIEF FOR GR 'IN SHIPPERS Explanatory Letter From General Mitno er Molten Sohrduln oM'iirlrrto l'.o rublinlieil. Associated Press. . Seattle, May 29. The announcement Is mode tonight In an official way that the Northern Pacific will not resist the Anderson rate bill passed by the last legislature, to give relief to the shippers of Eastern Washington, as it was expected to do. The following let ter, under date of May 25th, written by General Manager Mellen, of the Northern P." clflc, to Governor McGraw, contains information that means much to the grain growers of this state: My Dear Sir: After a careful re view of the so-called Anderson rate bill, making a reduction In rates upon groin, mlllstuffs, flour and other com modities from Eastern Washington to the Const, this company has decided to conform ta the act, not that we con sider the raks contained therein falir, for they are not, and do not give a reasonable compensation for the tran saction of business under the condi tions surrounding railway operation In Washington, which are much more bur densome than In states further east. We are aware, however, that the price of grain, which Is the principal com modity affected by this act, has ruled low for some time past; that there has the farming element; and we have re ceived assurances that If we would submit to this act and publish our tar lffs accordingly, It would create a bet ter feelln toward the railway Interests of the state. Therefore, after carefully reviewing the entire Bubject, we have made our decision to obey this act and tariffs will be published accordingly. NO THREATS OF RETALIATION. Washington, May 29. Secretary Gresham authorizes an emphatic de nial of the stntement that the Chinese minister had notified the department of state that the Chinese government would retallata If- the Geary act were enforced. Grisliam declared that In a recent Intervlc.v batwecn himself and the Chinese minister not a word or In timation of threat was used during the interview. Asked If any steps hud been taken to inforco the law, Gresham re plied thtit the m?.tt:r v.'.v I t the hands of the secretary of the trctsury, and that as far K. :::r.7 n i;i.I.'. : hid been done. HONORING DAVIS' MEMORY- Mobile, Ala., May 29.

In the many attempts which have bt'jn made to solve the problem of aeri al navigation, . the principle most In favor of late years has hem that of large plane surfaces. Upon this princi ple for some twenty-eight yeats past Mr. Horatio Phillips has worked until at length he has succeeded in demon strating that the principle is funda- --,-11-. , . . . . . Tl. . , V I. . . Ilieuuuiy uirri-Ji. uui u una icuu.w tho dimensions of his planes from some four or five feet broad to those of Venetian blind laths, much to his ad vantage. His method of proceeding In fact Is entirely different from that hitherto pursued by others working in the same field, as neither large plane surfaces nor balloon arrangemtrnts are employed, nor Is stored-up energy used. Advantage is taken of a vacuum and a plenum Is formed by Induced currents on the upper and under sur faces respectively of a series of slats or laths fixed horizontally In a verti cal frame. Thetie slats are curved on their upper and under surfaces and are thicker at their leading edge than at their trailing edge. The curves are such that the convex upper surface near the front edge deflects the air upward, thus creating a partial vacuum on the up per surface of the slat or retainer, The under surface of the slat Is formed to a parlbollcal curve which gradually puts the particles of air Into motion downward, thus producing an excess of pressure on the under surface of the slats. The principle has been put into practice by Mr. Phillips In a machine which broadly resembles a canoe with a sail like a Venetian blind with the slats fixed wide open, the machine be ing driven forward by an air propeller to which motion Is given by a steam engine. The carriage Is 25 feet long and 18 Inches wide, tapering to a point at the front end. It Is borne on 3 wheels a foot In diameter, one In front and two at the rear. There are 50 Bustalners or slats, each 1 1-2 Inch wide and 22 feet long, fitted two inches apart In a frame 22 feet wide and 9 feet 6 Inches In height. The sustolners ha ve a combined aera of lifting surface of 136 square feet. Tho lioller Is a cylindrical phos phor bronze vessel 12 Inches In diameter1 and 16 Inches In length. Tho heating surface Is 12 square feet, and is made up of Field tubes 3-4 Inch In diameter and 14 Inches long. The fire grate area l.i 70 square Inchon, and the fuel used Is Welsh conl. The engine Is compound, having cylinders 1 3-4 Inch by S 6-8 Inch by 6 Inch stroke, fitted with or dinary slide valves, The working pres sure tif Htenm In 180 lb per square Inch. The propellor Is 6 feet In diameter and 8. feet pitch, and has a projected area of blndt surface of four sninre feet. The hpjt'U is about 400 revolutions per m!nut nnd the estimated speed of the machine about 35 miles an hour. The weights of the various parts of the machine are approximately as fol lows: Carriage and wheels, 60 pounds; machinery complete In working order with water In boiler and fire on grate, 200 pounds; sustalners, 70 pounds; total wnlirht of machine. S0O nonnds' total weight, lifted and carried, Including 72 pounds of added weight, 402 pounds. In order to test the machine a wood en track 628 feet In circumference and about six feet wide has been laid in the gun-proving grounds of Messrs. Cogswell & Harrison, at Harrow, the machine being tethered to a central post. In some trials which we recently witnessed a number of runs were made, with the result that a speed of 28 miles an hour was attained. As regards the ascensional powers of the machine, It was shown that It had a lift of about three feet from the ground at tho rear. The rise reached its maxi mum when the machine ran in the face of the wind, and was ontlnued over about two-thirds of the track. The machine was also moored by a stern rope In which a dynamometer was Inserted, and on the engine being run at full speed, the dead pull was 75 pounds. On the whole the machine Is one of promise, and Is certainly a step In advance In aerial navigation. Iron. LIST OF PATENTS.
