Hatoh-Sult.
San Francisco, Feb. 25. The United
States circuit court ot appeals today
decided against Josepihlne Hatch, the
Indian woman, in 'her contested suit
against the Everett Land Co., of Wash

was lnduce-1 by the misrepresentations
or E. C. Ferguson, 1ier husband's exec
utor, to part with 210 acres of land;
that silie signed a power of attorney
under the belief that it was a bond of
friendship. The land was conveyed by
Ferguson to Henry Hewitt and by him
to the Everett Land Company. The
court of appeals held that the company
was an Innocent purohaser and that
the woman having accepted the pur
chase money and used It long after her
contention that she had been defraud
ed, was estopped from claiming title as
against the iKverett Land Co. The land

Hon Bills.

THE HOUSE.
England's Bering Sea Award Defeated
Extra Salaries Allowed Employes.
Washington, Feb. 25. The Berlnsj 8ea
award of $450,000 proposed to be paid
by Secretary Greeham to the English
government was defeated hi the house
on a yea and nay roll call by a vote of
112 to 143. The amendment to the gen
eral deficiency bill to pay the employes
of the house, and senate and the indi
vidual clerks to members an extra
month's salary carried. '
The general deficiency bill, the last of
the regular appropriation bills, passed
the ouse today. Almost the entire
day was spent hi discussing the amend
ment to pay Great Britain $460,000, the
amount of damage agreed upon by Sec
retary Gresham and Blr Julian Paunce-
fote to be due -under the award of the
Paris arbitration, tribunal on account
of the seizure of some twenty Canadian
staler by the United tSates previous to
(he modus Vivendi of 1S92. The amend
ment was strongly attacked by Cannon
of Illinois, Henderson, of Iowa, and
Hitt, on the ground that the amount
was 'unreasonably large; that some of
the vessels were owned by sltlzens of
the United tSates; and because $375,000
of the amount was for constructive
or speculative damages (the estimated
catch.) Only $81,000, they contrndtU
was due Great Britain. Tilujby hp
ported the amendtvtuil, maintaining
tihat tin S'.ivt'.uu.mt, u; matter how
ta1 tlvt liftijaJn, must carry out the
6 Balds if the Paris tribunal in good
falflh. . ' ,
DlrigOey declared that it was prefera
ble to pay Great Britain $425,000 than to
leave the assessment of damages to
an umpire appointed 'by a foreign pow
er. Tlie amendment carried In the com
mittee 'but was defeated In the house.
