Can you describe how the new Yorkie is attacking Gracie? Is it low growls or full-on snarling and biting? How long have you had the new Yorkie for? How old is she? How old is Gracie?
Have you considered giving the new Yorkie a chance to adjust with your family by taking her to some training classes?
I think in the meantime you must keep them separated, especially if you are not in the same room as them (i.e. completely isolate both of them and spend time with each alone). Once the new dog gets started with training, perhaps slowly transitioning her to being with Gracie.
