Discussing the case, a lending member of the bar said: "McCIellan would be justified in suing for $2.10.000. and a' verdict of that amount would, I believe, be up held by the highest courts.

Floating ice in the Bering sea is unusually heavy tMs summer and a distinct menace to shipping, reports Captain Nagen of tho steamer Grace Dollar, which has re turned to this port after a cruise of 43 days to Hutch Harbor. The floes-were so thick off St. George's Island that tho Grace Foliar was forced to lie off that port several days before she could effect a binding. I'evenuo i -'lifers on dutv off the is lands report that several Japanese seal crs are already on the ground and over h) more are making their way up the eoast. The illegal practices of these ships last season resulted in a clash be tween the I'nited States officials and the illicit traders, with the result that six Japanese were killed after landing vontrnrv to government regulations. The largo number of .Japanese craft en- on their way to the grounds is viewed with suspicion by the revenue officer, who expect more trouble before the summer is over.

Washington, June 30 "Returns generally from the railroads show that those roads not dependent upon coal, steel and lumber industries have, been doing very well recently." said Commissioner Lane, of the interstate commerce commission today. "Of course, they have not done so well as last year. Generally, they have de cided not to make any reductions either in wages or in rates of freight affecting the next three months, winch is an indication that they be lieve that business will keep up. "There are some curious things about prevailing conditions." contin ued Mr. Lane. "For instance, the Le high Valley the other day gave us a report of the earnings for the live months of the present calendar year, together with similar reports cover ing the preceding five years, and the showmur this year was larger than that of any other year during the period indicated. "The prospect for large crops in the West is extremely good. Rail road men do not expect normal con ditions to be recovered suddenly, but look for steady improvement. "The railroads must spend money in maintaining the roadbed and equip ment of their lines in order to meet the demands of commerce, because they are most seriously embarrassed when they arc not able to handle bus iness offered them, and there is no doubt that there is an abundance of money in the United States which can be secured for legitimate railroad investment. This was shown by the j floating of the Pennsylvania bond is j sue. ! "The railway rate act is admit'ed bv candid rdlroad men themselves to have been of inestimable value. The i enforcement of the law against re ' bating and our tenacious purpose to 'stop discrimination have held them up to a conformity to the law that is without precedent." Keep Neutrality Laws.

Waked from a sound sleep by the firing of a dozen rifle shots in the yard of her ranch home in the foothills of the Coast range, she stumbled out into the night to find herself staring into the muzzles of two rifles held in the hands of a pair of desperadoes. Her father and mother had preceded her and they stood with hands up. The whole scene was lighted by the glare of a burning barn which the bandits had fired. Clad only in her nightdress, the young girl stood terrified, staring at the grotesque scene that met her eyes. As she watched, before she had time to realize what was happening, two of her father's ranch hands came running to the spot. Instantly one of the bandits ordered them to throw tip their hands. Tony Loveall, one of the hold-up men, demanded $.".000 from Domen- gme. Uomensrine dec arcd there was no money in the house.

There will be dis tributed throughout the Cnited States today a total of $19.". 000,000, made up largely of semi-annual payments by public corporations such as railroads, large industrial concerns and banks.

It is expected to lead to widespread investments and general improvements, and will have Arrest Divine Healer.
