Proofs of loss were made Jan uary 4. 1804. and annraliwra were set to work, one lor the plaintiff and the other lor the delendant companies. As the two appraisers failed to oaree. a third one was appointed, and the three found that the sum of 134,110 was justly due the owner of the Snoqualmie mill. For some unaccountable reason no payment of loss has ever been made, and so suit haa now been entered. CQINKSB KKQISTRATIOK. The SI i Cotnpanlaa Wilt Fight the Da- portatlon of Calaatlala.

Judge Ross has handed down an opinion in the case of the United State, vs. the Southern Pa cific Company, which case involved the litigation of over 700,000 acres of land situated in -Ventura and Los Angeles counties, which the (Southern 1'auitlo claimed on the failure of the Atlantic and Paciflo road to build its road from the Colorado river to the Pacific Coast. Judge Ross held that, while the evidence showed that the Atlantic and, Pacific road did not construct its road or file a plat of it. line, it did not follow that Congress intended that by reason of this failure all of the land granted to it should be conditionally forfeited to the Southern Pacific Company. Judge Ross held also that, although there was no definite line of the Atlantic and Paciflo road outlined, it had by filing an inten tion of doing It come under the recent decisions of the Supreme Court In this instance. He declared the 700,000 acres belongs to the government. An Alleged Gold Dl.covery. 8ait Dibqo, Cai.

He has already had the jetty examined, and finite that it has sustained no damage except the loss of one pile, carried away by the drift. It It is expected that the channel will be widened and deepened by the vast volume of water passing out of the river. The dikes put in by the Port of Portland Commission have had a chance to exert their utmost influence, and probably the current has made various changes in the channel, but on the whole the navigation of the river is likely to lie much improved. WEARS NO MOURNING. Herr Most Jubilant Over Pre ident Carnot's Death. RE MAKES FIERY COMMENTS. The Leader of Coininnnl.tle Anarchs' Before to the Dead Frealdent as Hog, and Frophoalea That tlie Caar's Time Will Coma Other Mews. Nw Yobk. Herr Most, the leader of communistic" anarchy in Park Row, was located the other day in a saloon, where he was eating hi. lunch. " What do I think of Carnot's death? Well, I think the hog should have been stuck long ago, Yon don't see any mourning band around my hat, do you? Well, neither would yon tee any if the whole brood of autocratic hogs were butchered, all in a heap. They ought to be given their quietus in droves of forty or fifty. Not that Carnot was any particularly luminous mark to aim at. lie was not exactly what one would call a despot, but the big, overgrown pig scrawled his name to every document that steeped honest folks deeper and deeper Into slavery, it was right; it was Just; it was glorious to extinguish such a life. The Czar," be added, "well. his time will come, too. It costs about $4,000,000 a year to hedge that hog's life around with saleguards, but with all pre cautions be finds every day some such pleasant souvenir as a death's-head painted on his bed curtain or a dagger stuck under his oea. tie i the nog with the biggest grunt, and some dav he'll have to go like yourCarnots and your other beasts. Herr Dowe's bnllet-proof coat-of-mail will not avail him. He'll be reached, though he sit intrenched within a tower of steel a thousand feet thick. And as for your brood of conspir ators I want to say," continued Herr Most in a crescendo voice as he rose from the table, having finished his meal, " yon are not your own masters I know. You are slaves of big combines that send you hither and thither to do this and that.: To-day yon are sent to interview an anarchist, the next day a hog of a so called statesman, and the third day yon report the execution of some other mur derer; but mark you, though you are slaves, I give you warning that if yon do not treat ns with greater fairness than you have been doing, slave or no slave, you will some day come in contact with the knife's edge and in a way that will not please you." RKSULT OF THK ASSASSINATOR. Bill Introduced In tho Boose by Stone to Funiah Anarehl.ta. Washington, D. C Wm. A.

The guards around the execu- tive mansion were doubled during the Coxey excitement, but recently there was a relaxation and the policemen who were regularly detailed for duty in and about the White House were sent away on special service. There was a confer ence the other day between Colonel Wil son, Commissioner of Public Buildings and Grounds, and Private Secretary Thurber, and after discussing the assas- sination of President Carnot it was de cided that it would be prudent to take steps to protect the President from a possible invasion of cranks or sensation alists.

The pas sane of the tariff bill will have a ten dency to encourage trade throughout the country.

In the discussion the other day by the House CAnmittee on the pacific railroad funding bill it was practically decided to auanaon the feature of the plan proposed by Attorney-General Olney, that permit ted a reorganization of the company, in case It was not satisfied to continue on the basis of the plan adopted. The Attorney-General has sent to the Men ate through the (secretary oi the Treasury a reorient for a deficiency ap propriation of $125,000 in lieu of 150,000 asked lor some time ago. This amount will be used to meet the - expenses in curred by the United States Marshals in the arrest and punishment of Uoxeyitea in tne west tor stealing trains. A reouest for troops snbiect to call haa been forwarded by Secretary Smith to the secretary ol war on the ground that parties are preparing to overrun the Blackfoot Indian reservation in Mon tana. The communication incloses a re port of Indian Commissioner Browning, stating that the Indian police force will be unable to keen these parties from the reservation, and recommends that two troops of cavalry be furnished on the the call of Agent Coe. The department has decided to allow no prospecting on tne reservation. Kyle of Mississippi is evidently not accustomed to neartng discussions in volving the expenditure of vast sum. of money, in the Mississippi Legislature the appropriation oi SoO.UOO would be called reckless extravagance. Conse quently he has been greatly astonished at the manner in which the Representa tives talk about tnis government indors ing Huntington's railroad bonds for $134,000,000, $70,000,000 for the Nicara- ?ua canal, millions for rivers and har- 1 1 i i . tii i . . bors and hundreds of thousands for pub - , , .... m 1 . 1 . . lie buildings. The other day, when the House was considering an appropriation bill carrying a big sum of money for sub sidy to a Southern railroad for carrying the mail on a fast train, he turned toone of his colleagues and drawled out in his dry way: "Golly, these fellers talk about dollar, just as we do about goober nuteaown in our country The amended sugar schedule, which will probably be ottered when the tariff bill is taken up in the Senate, has been nut in shape by Jones. It was accepted by all to whom it was shown except Blanchard. Tbeamendmentas prepared changes the date when the sugar sched ule shall go into effect from the 1st of January to the time of the passage of the bill, and provides for a continuation of a part of the bounty for the present year, giving nine-tenths of a cent bounty per pound on sngar testing above w) de grees by the polariscope and eight-tenths on sugar testing below 00 degrees and above 80 degrees. The Secretary of the Treasury is also authorized to refrain from imposing the additional duty of one-tenth of a cent on sugar imported from countries paying an export bounty where it was demonstrated to his satis faction the producer has not received the bounty. In coast and geodetic survey circle, on both coast, there are much interest and feeling with regard to the war which is being waged on Superintendent Menden- hall by various persons. Carlisle would like to have Mendenhall'a place in order to give it to one of his friends. He has been nnable to do this, and haa been an noving him in various ways. Carlisle appointed so many men over the Super intendent's bead that Mendenhall, who found these appointments incompetent,' finally eent in his resignation to the President in order that either he might terminate his connection with the sur- vev or have it settled that he should have . : 1 1 ; ., n t I some jorauicHon uyw in. .uwu.u. . in determining their fitness for office, Ploirolnnd haa heen friendly to Menden- hall, and has several times said he did not intend to have him disturbed. It is thought that the President will decide the matter in lavor oi xuenaennau The President has informed several visitors recently that the delay by the Senate in voting on the final passage of the tariff bill seems to have been unnec essary, and that the bill should have been eent over to the House certainly by the middle of June. The recent invea tiiratinn of the anear scandal, he be lieves, has in a measure prevented prompt action, and now that there is every indi cation that the bill will be reported to the Senate and passed without lurtner ae lav, he thinks that the House Ways and Means Committee, to which the measure will be referred on reaching the 7'P--tVd fort to secure a final agreement by the conference committee.

Senator White expect, to call np after the passage of the tariff bill his measure providing for the payment of the civil war claims of California, Oregon and Nevada.

These States are the only ones having legitimate claims against the government on this basis whose claims have not been satisfactorily settled and the amounts paid in full. John Mullen has done considerable work in pushing this claim, which he has undertaken, among several others of a similar nature on behalf of different Paciflo Coast States.
