THE MOGUL'S CHINESE. informed that he had indorsed Tibbals'application then Saunders' friends )>eganto heap abase on Voorbees. Judge Kuhn'sfriends aver that Saunders has made over-tures to him looking toward an amicableunderstanding, whereby Tibbals could bethrown overboard and Jefferson countyunited on Saunders' candidacy.

The status of the controversy now indi-cates that both Tibbals and his followinghave decided upon'a guerrilla mode ofwar-fare against Saunders. They allow no op-portunity to escape to assault the opposi-tion's forces all along the line, and nowSaunders' crowd are retaliating by attack-ing the political character of Judge Kuhnand others who have supported Mr. Tib-bals for collector. Since it has become ap-parent that Tibbals was out of the racesome of bis supporters have been quietlyworking up a sentiment in favor of andsecuring a few private indorsements for W.H. Talbott, of Seattle. This fact has cometo the knowledge of the Saunders people,and in a quiet manner a bitter and mostuncompromising factional light is beingkindled into a flame.

When they tint came,Mrs. Gagle, who is my sister, in a conver-sation told me what a dumb trick Mr.

esler had done. She said he had made awill and forgotten to sign his nsmetoitandhad sent back West to get the will to signhis name to it. Iremarked that it wouldnot do me any good if. there was a will, asI never had seen him before, but Mrs.Gagle told me that we were all rememberedin it.

«|9IXI MEXICAN DRAWN WORKMRS. WHITKMAN,

TACOMA, April 18.?[Special. ]?The standtaken by Collector Wesson regarding theChinese now trying to enter this port ispronounced by those attempting to aidthe Chinamen as equivalent to the virtualexclusion of all Chinese. Thomas Sing, aChicago Chinese preacher, claiming to rep-resent the Chinese actors now aboard theMogul, has a letter from the treasury de-partment on which he believes the actorsought to be admitted. This letter simplyannounces that Chinamen can enter towork on the World's fair grounds, etc.,and that other Chinamen can be admittedunder section 6 of the Chinese act of 1882.This section provides for letters of cre-dentials furnished by Chinese officials andit has been decided unconstitutional bythe United States supreme court, inasmuchas its provisions are unreasonable becauseno ordinary Chinaman can secure suchcredentials. Therefore, to exclude China-men on credentials of identification here-tofore furnished, virtually leaves themwithout any means of entering aside frompersonal identification and letters of ap-proval sent by prominent Americans inChina, or from prominent people in citiesin this country. But Collector Wassonhaving proved beyond doubt that there isa systematic certificate forging establish-ment in China, is loth to accept docu-mentary evidence which is susceptible ofbeing forged. Itis evident that he hasdecided to exercise the greatest caVe in ex-cluding all who are not fully identified.

He was asked today ifit would not worka hardship on Chinese merchants to com-pel them to furnish additional evidence ofidentity. He replied that he did not pro-pose to act beyond his orders and hisorders are not to recognize certificates atall, and to be furnished with evidence ofpersonal identity before allowing Chineseto land. It is known that the method offorging certificates has been to steal orforge a notary public seal, take it to Hong-kong or some other place in China, andthen grind out certificates by. the whole-sale at S6O apiece. Those doing this workare fully acquainted with the cities fromwhich they draw references and the namesof prominent men, which they forge tocertificates, to which n bogus no-tary attaches his seal and an-nounces that he personally knows themen, signatures, et* For instance, Cash-ier Gordon, of thtf National bank ofAsteria, has issued many genuine certifi-cates or letters of identification to China*men, it is said. His name has come in Ibrrepeated forgeries. Some of the forgerieswere so cleverly executed that it was diffi-cult to detect them. When Collector Was-soc first began an investigation of forgedcertificates, he sent deputies to China andsecured some of the certificates with Gor-don's name attached. Gordon pronouncedhis name forged to them. This led to afurther investigation and the discovery ofwholesale certificate forging. Then thegovernment ordered all certificates ignoredand now all that Wasson will say is thathe simply proposes to ignore them and notadmit any Chinaman unless he can provewho he is and that he is entitled to entereither as a merchant or a man of means.

"Afterstaying in my house at Hagers-town for some time, Mr. Yesler and Min-nie went to Philadelphia. This was, Ithink, on or about September 27. Mrs.Gagle, during their absence, remained atLeitersburg. When they left tor Phila-delphia both denied that they were goingfor the purpose of being married. I askedtbem ifsuch was not their purpose, havingbeen informed by Mrs. Gagle that tbey hadcome East for that purpose, but both de-nied any such intention. Before Mr. Yes-ler and Minnie started for Philadelphiathe subject of the marriage was talkedover continuously; not by Mr. Yesler, butbv Minnie and her mother, in my presence.Minnie told me that she did not care forMr. Yesler, and did not want to marryhim, but that her mother was insistingupon it giorning, noon and night.

" 'Ma wants me to marry him in orderthat I may get his wealth,' is whst shetold me.

TROUBLE lit CENTRALIA SCHOOLS.

Cltlaeas Ineensed nt Snmmnry Dismissalof Several Teachers.

Cistralia, April 16.? [Special.]?Thepeoole ofthis city are much excited everthe action of two of the school directorson Friday night in refusing to re-engage anumber of old teachers, some of whomhave been in the schools for several years,and filling their places with inexperiencedgirls, pupils in the high school and twoothers, one from Montana and anotherfrom Oregon, whose abilities as teachersare not known here. At the meeting onFriday evening nearly all the teacherswere present and a large number of prom-inent citizens, who had obtained an ink-ling of what the probable action of the twomembers of the board, Frank T. McNittand C. W. Fowler, would be. The teach-ers dismissed respectfully asked the reasonfor their dismissal, as there were nocharges of incompetency or other disqual-ification alleged against them.

The Yesler will ease which has been pro*dactive of sensations from its inception, isto have another chapter added to it in afew days ofsuch a startling nature that allformer sensations will pale into compara-tive insignificance. Itis in the form of adeposition taken on Saturday, the depo-nent being none other than Mrs. AnnieM. Morgans, a sister of Mrs. John Gagle,mother of Mrs. Yesler. She was also firstcousin of the late Henrv L. Yesler. Inher deposition she makes statementsstrongly, confirming evidence adducedagainst Mrs. Yesler at the prelimi-nary hearing on the point of theburning of the will and also implicates herown sister, Mrs. Gagie, in the allegedcrime. Her testimony is not confined to

words alone, but she produces what pur-ports to be a letter written to her by Mrs.Gagle, in which the startling statement ismade that Mrs. Yesler did bum the will,as testified to by Mrs. Fay, the nurse, atthe preliminary hearing. This letter, ifauthenticated, will be one of the strongestlinks in the chain of evidence securedagainst Mrs. Yesler.

''Mrs. Gsgle had told me more than oncebefore the marriage that Minnie had a loverin Seattle, a doctor or a lawyer, I don't re-member which. She told me he camefrom Dakota. I then asked Kecca (that isMrs. Gag e, her name is Emma Rebecca):'Why do not you let Minnie marry him?'Mrs. Gagle said he was rich, but he did nothave the money Mr. Yesler had. Mr.Yesler would not live long, she said, andthen Minnie could marry a young man.

"On the Sunday before they went toPhiladelphia Minnie took me by the dressand pulled me and said, 'Come, let us gointo the garden.' So I went. Then shesaid, 'Now, Aunt Ann, I don't see how Ican marry Mr. Yesler.' Then I said toher, 'Minnie, I would not marry him.'But she said, 'I have to. Ma nevergives me any rest. She nags me day andnight to marry him. Then I took herjust as I would my own daughter, and ex*plained to her everything in regard tomarried life, and she remarked: 'AuntAnn. I will never forget you the longestday Ilive, the way you talked to me. Manever told roe anything only to marryhim.'

The only answer made by McNitt was"that when he had a hired man in his em-ploy he could discharge him without ex-plaining his reasons therefor." Fowlermede no explanation.

The schools of Centralia have borne ahigh reputation for efficiency, and thecorps of teachers has enjoyed the esteemand confidence of the community, and itwas one of the boasts of the citizens thatour city offered to intending settlers unex-ceptionable facilities for the education oftheir children. Eleven teachers in addi-tion to the superintendent are now em-ployed and all the departments are full.The present trouble had its inception lastfall during the canvass preceding elec-tion, when Mr. Lease, one of tne teachersin the high school, became the Republicancandidate for county superintendent andwas opposed by Prof. Eddy, of Winlock,the principal of the schools in that place.Prof. Borst, the superintendent of theschools, took an active part inthe canvass and demanded of allthe teachers under him their unqualifiedsupport of Lease. Failing in this heopenly evinced his displeasure, and is al-leged to have made threats of causing theremoval of certain teachers, although hedisclaims having influenced the board inany manner. At the meeting ofthe boardspeeches were made in opposition to theaction ofthe board by President Hense, ofthe First National bank, ex-ProsecutingAttorney Swazey, W. G. Gaunoe, a gen-tleman of much experience in educationalmatters; Editor Whinnery, of the Chroni-cle, and many others.

Yesterday a number of prominent gen-tlemen interviewed McNitt and Fowler,and sought to have them reconsider theiraction, but they both evinced a determina-tion to stand by their action regardless ofthe consequences.

Failing in obtaining any satisfactionfrom them the people will hold a publicmeeting on Tuesday evening, at which, itis said, resolutions will be passed invitingthem to resign. Ifthey refuse an attemptmay be made to get the mattel before thestate superintendent on a demand' for aninvestigation into the charges affectingthe character of Prof. Borst, who, it isthought, is the cause of all the trouble.

The deposition, although taken on Sat-urday, has not been made public and willnot be until it is filed in court on some occa-sion when it may be needed. The attorneyson both sides are silent as the grave con*eerning its contents, and are anxious, forsome reason or other, that nothing shouldbe said about it. It was only by good for-tune, followed by perseverance and skill ofan experienced reporter, that the Posf-Iw-tklligknckr secured information that en-ables it to give all the salient points ofthedeposition, although some of the moresensational features may be lacking.

At 1 o'clock Saturday afternoon the cityeditor of the I'ost-Intelligknckr receiveda call from a young business man whogave hitn a "tip" that he thought mighthave a story behind it. About 10 o'clockin the morning, he said, he had occasionto go to the Occidental hotel. Whilestanding there in the hall entrance he sawMrs. Yesler, Mrs. Gagle, her mother, andJohn Gagle, her father, come in accom-panied by 11. E. Shields, her attorney.They took the elevator. He had almostceased wondering, with natural curiosity,what business brought them to the hotel,when Daniel Kelleher, one of the counselfor the prosecution in the will case, camein, with N. W. Bolster, the stenographer,and they, too, took the elevator. Thenhis curiosity became thoroughly aroused,and was increased rather than diminishedwhen a moment later W. 11. White, lead-ing attorney for Mrs. Yesler, put in anappearance, followed by Col. E. M. Carr,another of the attorneys for the prosecu-tion. He was convinced that somethingimportant in the Yesler will case wasabout to be done. He pushed his investi-gations, but Landlord Seagrave, like thediscreet man tbat he is, would not tellhim in what room the party was meetingor anything about the nature of the busi-ness, if he knew anything to tell. As hecould not satisfy his curiosity for himselfhe gave the benefit of his information tothe Post-Intellioknckr, trusting to it togive him the news.

A reporter of tried skill and determina-tion was at once detailed on the case. Hevisited the hotel, arriving there about 2o'clock. He could get no information fromthe attaches of the house, although helearned that members of the party hadgone out at noon and had returned a fewmoments before his arrival and were thenmeeting in one of the parlors. An at-tempt to gain admission was fruitless, sothere was nothing to do but sit and waitfor adjournment. That did not come un-til 5 o'clock in the evening. When theparty came out of the room the re-porter was surprised to see two per-sons other than those named by thepaper's informant come ont oi the room.They were both strangers. One was a manof about 50 years of age, the other was awoman of about the same age and evi-dently bis wife. She leaned heavily onhis arm, as though she were ill or ex-hausted. The reporter went away, expect-

ing to meet them at the entrance and learntheir identity, but they did not comedown tne elevator. It was evident thatthev had staved in the hotel. Alleffort tolearn who they were was repulsed by thehotel people. The attorneys in the casewere then called upon, but they each de-clined to give any information whatever.

It was not until yesterday afternoonthat the reporter secured the clue tbatgave him the story published below.While at the hotel he saw two of the at-torneys in the case enter the house. Hefollowed them to the fourth floor and afterpatient waiting saw them come out ofroom 63. He waited until after they hadgone and then went to the room andknocked on the door. It was opened bythe woman he had seen leaving the parlorthe previous evening with the part v.After an introduction of himself and theobject of his visit, the woman volun-teered the information that her name wasMrs. Annie M. Morgans and that herhome was in Hagerstown, Md. She saidshe was here in connection with the Yes-ler wiil case, but did not feel at liberty totalk upon the matter, as she had beencautioned by attorneys to be reticent andto avoid newspaper men. Finally, how-ever, under the questioning of the re-porter, the story came out and she ad-mitted that the had made a deposition theday before.

Mrs. Morgans is a woman of 4A years,with a tall, rather spare figure and fea-tures which show that she must have beenpossessed of considerable beauty in heryouth. She has large brown eyes, whichgive a charm to her face, and her voice,while harsh, is subdued and not implead-ing. She is a woman of intelligence, al-though not much education, and her

"On another occasion, before they leftfor Philadelphia, I had a talk with Mr.Yesler. He and I were in the room alons,and he said:

"Sit down here, Mrs. Morgans. Here ismy last will.

"He took a paper out ofhis pocket, andfolding it so as to show me one of theitems, said: 'Here is a little item Iwantto read to yon,' and read:

" *1 leave the sum of$75,000 to the heir*ofmy three aunts.'

"They were Aunt Polly Hayes, Aunt Bet-sey Norford and Aunt Barbara Wampler,the last named being my mother. Thenhe pointed his finger at another place, andsaid:

" 'Here is my half brothers and half sis-ters.' I said to him:

"'Well, I guess yon hare provided forMinnie,' and he said:

" 'Yes, I have provided well for Minnie,and J. D. Low man is my executor.'

"When Mr. Yesler and Minnie cameback from Philadelphia I asked both ifthey were married, and they both deniedit, although I soon found out the truth.Mrs. Gagle told me that Minnie told hertbat after they were married and beforethey had left Philadelphia, Mr. Yeslerwalked up and down the floor and criedlike a child. 1 know from what Minniatold me that she did not want to marryMr. Yesler, and I don't think that Mr.Yesler really cared much about marryingher. I think he was forced into it by Mrs.Gagle. During all the time of their stayat my bouse, before and after the marriage,on the coming in and going ont of Mr.Yesler, Mrs. Gagle always rushed at hintand threw her arms around his neck andhugged and kissed him.

"One day after the marriage they weretalking about Jim Lownian (as we callhim), and Minnie said that Jim Lowmanshould not attend to any of Mr. Yesler'abusiness when they returned to Seattle. Isaid: 'Well, but he is the executor.' Andthen Minnie said:

The only way the Chinese can get ashorehere is by habeas corpus through theUnited States district coart, but JudgeHanford is at Spokane now and as theMogul sails for the Orient *on Wednesdaymorning it will be impossible to pursuethat method. Some of the merchants andactors on the Mogul feel offended underthe circumstances. Before they will beable to furnish fresh identification lettersfrom friends in this country they will beon their way to China. Some of themwho prove their identity, or can show byspeaking English that they have beenhere in business before, will be allowed toland.

The Murderer and Suicide Crased byHis Partner's Treatment of Him.

FAIRHAVEX, April 16. [Special.]Friends of Charles Smith, who killed hispartner, Henry Horn, yesterday, and thencommitted suicide, say that his mind,never strong, was undoubtedly unbal-anced as a result of the treatment whichit is said he bad received from Horn,whom he had trusted implicitly and as-sisted a good deal with money saved dur-ing the past two years from his earningsat hard labor. The day before; the tragedy,Horn, it is claimed, declared his intentionof taking a calf, which really belonged toSmith, but which Horn claimed as part-nership property, to Whatcom to sell to abutcher with whom Horn was arrangingto go into business. Smith told him notto do it, saying that he bad already con-verted too much uf his (Smith's) propertyto his own use, and finally threateningthat ifhe did do it he would kill hirn.Horn disregarded the warning and tookthe calf and sold it, and when he returnedSmith shot him before he had time to getdown from the wagon.

Both men bad borne good reputations.Horn was about 33 years of age and Smithsome five or six years older. Horn indi-cated his desire to have his property, con-sisting principally of a claim on the slopeof Chucktvnut mountain, toward LakeSamish, left to a relative in Connecticut.

Boycotting of Chines* at Butte.HEI.ES A, April 16.?Attorney General

Haskell has submitted an opinion to Gov.Hickards on the action of the Butte citycouncil in directing all city employes notto patronize Chinamen. The opinion en-dorses the council's action as proper. Theattorney general holds that it is not in vio-lation of any treaty and that the city coun-cil has a right to protect the municipalityfrom danger of pauperism.

"'Before Jim Lowman shall attend toany of my bus : ness after Mr. Yesler'sdeath. 1 would burn the will.'

"We hau not a man upon the place thathad the activity Mr. Yesler had. llesfaathen so years old, bnt he did not seemmore than tJO. One day Mrs. Gagle and 1were talking about Miunie marrying him,when Minnie was in the room, and wetalked about Mr. Yesler's age. I said:

" 'Oh, Becky, if he was not so old Min-nie could not marry him.'

"Mr. Yesler had told me a few days be-fore that he thought a man ought to liveto be 100 years old, and I told them whathe had said. Then Mrs. Gagle sprang upand said:

"I was terribly shocked, and exclaimed,?Oh Becky!' "

When Mrs. Morgans came to this partof her story she could not repress her emo-tions, and her form trembled with excite-ment as she sprang from her seat to illus-trate the manner in which her sister hadgiven vent to the horrible threat. Whenshe had become calmer she continued:
