THE REMOVALS IN V7ABHINGT0N
Fraudulent Chinese Cerilflcntrs Manu

uiovnli to Follow.
Associated Pre3s.
Washington, D. C, June 0. -The re
moval of Patrick II. Winston, United
States Attorney; Thos. Ti. Brown, Uni
ted States Marshal; Andrew Wasson,
United States Collector, at Port Town
send; C. J. Mulkey, United States
Special Agent, and six special inspec
tors of customs in the Puget Sound
district, all in the state of Washington,
and the appointment of their success
ors, Is said to be due to reports made
to Secretary Carlisle by special treas
ury agents Wood and Lewis. These
reports were numerous and circum
stantial as to detail, and .tell the story
of one of the most extensive and suc
cessful conspiracies ever formed to
smuggle Chinese and opium into the
United States across the far north
western 'boundary. These ofllcials, it
is charged by the reports received",
have been. doing .a wholesale business
for several years in connection with
private parties in Victoria, B. C, in
smuggling, in Chinese by means of
fraudulent certificates, and permitting
opium smuggling either by connivance
or otherwise. Politics were never en
tered into, but the immense profit in
the business seems to have corrupted
many ofllcials. Other removals are yet
to come, and the matter in due course
of time will find Its way into the
courts.
MR. WINSTON HEAKD FROM.
He Denounces in Strong Terms, theAu
- thor of the Smuggling Charge.
Seattle, June 20. Upon reading the
Associated Press Dispatch from Wash
ington in reference to the removal of
federal officials in this state, giving as
a reason that they were in a gigantic
smuggling ring, Colonel Patrick Henry
Winston, ex-United . States district at
torney, at once sent out the following
dispatch: ' . ',.
"Editor New York Tribune, New
York City: An Associated Press dis
patch sent out from W'ashfngton city
and purporting to erninate from the
olilce of the secretary of the treasury,
and to have been inspired by that of
ficial, appears in this evening's papers,
charging in. substance that the recent
removal of federal officials in the dis
trict of Washington, including my own,
from the ofilce of United States attorney,-
were occasioned --by the dis
covery that these ofllcials had
formed the most extensive and suc
cessful conspiracy ever formed to
smuggle Chinese into the United
States. So far as the dispatch con
cerns me, it may be necessary in this
era of partisan' politics to say to those
who do not know me that whoever
wrote or inspired it is a common liar.
I have alreod stated In an official com
munication! to the president, under
date of May 30th, the cause of my re
moval. I invite him or anyone author
ized by him to give a different reason,
(Signed) PATRICK H, WINSTON.
MAKES A GENERAL DENIAL.'
Tocoma, June 20. Ex-United States
Marshal Brown denies " emphatically
the truth of the charges made by Spe
cial Treasury Agents Wood and Lewis.
He says that he will demand an im
mediate investigation before the fed
eral grand Jury, which meets here
July 5. He will also demand that
Woods and Lewis be compelled to tes
tify. -
HILL'S BIG KNIFE.
The Great Northern After the Scalp of
Union Pacific.
Chicago, June 20. The Great North
ern put a knife into the transconti
nental rates again today by announc
ing a rate of $51, first-class and $33,
second-class, from St. Paul to San
Francisco. This includes berth and
meals on the steamer from Seattle to
San FranciBco. This will drag the
Union Pacific Into the fight unless that
road is prepared to sacrifice its Port
land business. The Atchison today an
nounced that it would put into effect
at once a round trip rate of one and
one-third fare from Texas points to
Chicago and return.
HE IS NON-COMMITTAL.
' New York, June 20. In response to
a question ex-President Harrison tel
egraphed the following from Indian
apolis: "If I am quoted as having- ex
pressed approval of the action of the
commissioners in opening the fair on
Sunday, or of the decision of the cir
cuit of appeals, it Is without author
ity." WKLCOME RAIN.
Dululh. Minn., June 21. - A welcome
rain started to fall here Oils evening.
If It extends over the M'-naba. range
It will do much to rjiifnch the forest

greater portion. The fire extends far

BANK SUSPENSIONS.
The Stringency In the Money Market
Continues With Bad Results.
Eugene, .Tune 20. The Lane county
bank, the oldest financial institution
in this c noty, failed to open its door9
this morning, having become cramped
by the stringency of the money market.
Hovey, Humphry and Co. have posted
a notice that, depositors will be paid
in full. No statement has yet been
made as to the assets and liabilities,
but depositors do not seem to have any
fears, and many say that if the bank
should open this afternoon they would
not draw.
The cashier stated In an Interview
today that the assets, notes and prop
erty would amoupt to nearly three
times the liablities. No attachments
have been Issued and, probably, there
will be none. The bank strongly as
serts thatJt will pay every dollar to
the depositors, but In order to realize
on their credits at once they would be
compelled to go Into court and crowd
their patrons. This they did not feel
disposed to do, and when they failed
to secure, assistance from Portland and
San Francisco banks, they concluded to
take plenty of time to It, and let mat
ters shape themselves when the money
market .should be easier. Some ex
citement was created on the streets and
a run was threatened on the other
banks, but they were fully able to pay
every demand promptly.
Albany, Or., June 20. The excitement
over .the financial flurry has quieted
down. The official statement of the
suspended bank's condition will show,
it is stated, assets sufficient to pay de
positors every dollar.
Los Angeles, June 20. The Univer
sity Bank and the City Savings Bank
closed their doors this morning. The
president of the City Bank says that
the bank has closed temporarily in or
der to collect money from its loans and
securities; "He say S depositors Will be
paid in full. The closing of the Uni
versity Bank, which Is a commercial
bank, was a surprise. It has a notice
on the door to the effect that depositors
will be paid In full. '
Washington, June 20. The comptrol
ler today received Messrs. Newberry
and Wood,, of the Citizens' National
Bank of Spokane, Wash., who wish
to make some arrangement for reopen
ing that bank. No agreement satis
factory to Eckles could be made. The
bank will either go into voluntary
liquidation or a receiver will be ap
pointed. Nashua, N. H., June 20. -The Colony
Manufacturing Company has failed,
liabilities, $168,000, assets, about half.
The company was engaged In the
manufacture of woolens.
Chattanoogai, Tenn., .Juna 20. The
Ctty Savings bank, att a result of a run,
has been forced to suspend. Assets,
$475,000, labilities, $225,000. All depos

New Bedford, June 20. The prose
cution finished summing u? this morn
ing In the Borden murder enso.
The defendant was given an oppor
tunity t.) (-peak. She said: "I am in
nocent, but I will leave my case in
your hands and with my counsel."
Justice Dewey then charged tho jury.
He defined the different degrees of
murder, untl stated that tho presump
tion of innocence was increased by
defendant's character. There must be
a real and operative motive.
New Bedford, June 20. After being
out one hour and twenty minutes, the
Jury acquitted Lizzie Borden of mur
der. Vvt.on the verdict was announced, all
the dignity and decorum of the court
vanished. A cheer went, up which
might have been heard half a mile
away, and there was no attempt to
check it. Miss Borden's head went
down upon the roll in front of her
and the tears came. Mr. Jennings was
almost crying, while Mr. Adams eeemed
Incapable of speech. As soon as possl
ble the room was cleared, and when
the spectators had finally gone. Miss
Borden was taken to the room of the
Justices and allowed to recover her
composure with only the eyes of friends
upon her, and the caresses of devoted
admirers. At the expiration of nn
hour ehe was placed in a carriage and
driven to the station, where she took
the train for Fall River, her home no
longer, probably, but still the only ob.
Jectlve point she has for the immediate
present. ' ; .
