The Russian papers, we observe, are dis
cussng projects for The resumption of specie
payments. The journals of the United
States must have large supply of articles
on this subject left over, which we dare say
they will sell cheap, and 1t would be saving
Of trouble to the Russian Journals to buy
them. Our brethren of Russia will find that
il IS much easier to discuss projects than to
resume.-N. Y. Mail.
The misfortune has been that whenever
the independent voters rebuked Republican,

tain Democratic organs have imagined that
people had changed from Repubicanism to
Democracy, and Bourbon leaders have at
once scrambled out of their tombs under the
mistaken impression that political resurrec-

The satisfaction expressed by Germany
with the latest note from Belgium means that
Bismarck has found his position untenable,
and so withdraws with the best grace pos
sible. The question is quite as far from set
tlement as ever. Belgium has been asked for
explanations, and says she has none to give.
She has been asked to modify her municipal
laws, and declines to do so. The Prussian
premier finds that the public opinion of Eu-
rope is against him, and so affects to be satis-
fled with the situation.

The PiOus Fund Case.

WASHINGTON, November 12th.-Sir
Edward Thornton, Umpire in the
United States and Mexican Claims
Commission, has rendered his decision
in the case of the Roman Catholic
Church, represented by Thaddeus A..
Mott, Bishop of Monterey, and Joseph
S. Alemany, Arch Bishop of San
Francisco, against Mexico, popularity
known as the Pious Fund Case. The
award amount to 1904 800, gold. SEN
ator Casserly argued the case before
Sir Edward Thornton, the Umpire.
Associated with Mr.. Casserly were
John IT. Doyle, of California, and P.
III. Phillips and N. Wilson of this
city. Seiior Avida appeared for the
Mexican government. Attorney Gen
eral Pierrepont has decided that the
act of Congress of April 2Sth, 1916,
confirmed to Hugh and John M. Mott
the grant of $4,000 acres of land at the
forks of Black River, Missouri, made
to Priest Maxwell in 1899 by the Span
ish government. The tract of land is
situated in Reynolds and Iron coun-
ties, Missouri, ,and is decided to belong
to the claimants, who are. represented
here by Warwick Tunstan.

NEWS OF THE MORNING t.

Additional news from Victoria renders IL
almost certain that OF the 275persons ON board
the steamer Pacific, only two escaped with
their rlives.
The ship Orpheus, the vessel that collided
with the Pacific, was also wrecked. Hercrew
reached land and were saved.
The condition of the viee-President Is favor
able for permanent recovery.
In our telegraphlc columns will be found
the statement of the Captain of the 0rpheus'
whose ship collided with the Pacific.
Yesterday ]. 1. Grinnell, Chief Clerk of the
Patent Office, was removed and Melvin B.
Prent, of New York, appointed in his place.
A Washington dispatch says sixteen clerks
In the Patent Office who refused to pay the
political assessments of the Republican
Union Committee, Of which Chandler is Sec
retary, have been dismissed.
The Guibord funeral is announced to take
place early next week, though the day is not
yet fixed.
AGalveston dispatch says no news has yet
been heard of any of the passengers or crew
of the steamer City of Waco. The statements
of those ON board other vessels which were
lying in the neighborhood ofthe burning YES
sci say no boats could be launched from the
Waco, owing to the rapid spread of the fire
and the rough water. All agreed as to hear
ing voices of women In the water, and some
half a dozen persons were seen clnging to
floating spars in the water. The appearance
of fire was followed by several explosions in
rapid succession, probably the cans of coal
oil in the deck load. The deck seemed to be
instantly wrapped in flames, which finally
burned low as the inflamable material was
exhausted. Pilot and sail boats are searching
along the West coast for survivors.

THE evening Express closes long
article with the following sentence:

After all, the motive which animates man.
kind to seek immunity from pol1tlcal Op-
preston neither differs in degree nor dignity
rom the motive which would urge them TO
seek Immunity from the great social wrong
which we see inordinate wealth has the pow
er to inhict. ,ef a.. ~
This means if it means anything
that people who will rebel against
the expressions of Government can be
induced to break open the vaults OF
men who have money and take by
force that which does not belong to
them. The insinuation is a libel on
the noblest instinct of humanity.
Theft and patriotism are not so closely
allied as the Express, which of course
knows nothing of the incentives to
either, would have its readers believe.
A million Expresses each with mill
lion times the ability of the commu-
mist proselyte across the way, and all
doing their utmost to incite the peo-
pie to deeds of rapine and plunder
could not attain their purpose. We
predict that the Express will fail in
its efforts to get up raids on banks and
rich men as it has failed in everything

side, striking and grating along his
starboard side, carrying away all his
starboard braces and rigging on that
side and also his foretopmast and top
gallantmast. Capt. Sawyer states that
he hailed the steamer as she surged
past aud called to them to lay by him
and send him boat, as he then sup
posed his ship to be in sinking con-
dition, but no one answered his hail.
Neither did he see any one on her
deck. She drifted or steamed away,
he was not certain which, and he af-
terwards saw flash of light, which he
took for Signal. He thought they
had heard his hail and would lay by
him. He saw no more and his ship at
that time demanded all his attention.
He lay to the remainder of that night
and nearly all day Fridsy repairing
his rigging, and that afternoon got
under way again and made sail for the
land. Soon after dark he made
light, which he took for Cape Flattery,
not Knowing that there was n light OH
the coast farther North. He allowed
| five miles clearance for Duncan Rock
and considered himself safe for enter
ing the Straits of Fuca, when about
| five o'clock Saturday morning his
| ship scraped over reef and immedi-
ately after struck her bow on rock
and stuck fast and filled. The light he
mistook for Flattery was Cape Beale,
the entrance of Barclay Sound, 80
miles North of the former. How the
ship escaped the dangers passed before
she struck is mystery to all who
have examined the Admiralty Chart
of Barclay Sound. The ship willprove
total loss. Capt. Sawyer got all the
valuables he could out of her and en-
camped OH the shore with his wife and
crew in tents made Of her sails. He
had hired a canoe from the Indians
| and started his mate to Victoria for
help, but the weather was so bad that
! the Indians wonld not venture out OH
the voyage, so they were found when
the Walcott arrived.
Lieutenant Harwood took all of
them aboard his vessel with the most
valuable portion of the goods saved,
| leaving tae First Mate of the Orpheus
in charge of the wreck until the own
ers could be consulted. AL were landed
safely at Port Townsend on Friday
morning nothing was heard of or seen
in Barclay Sound of anything pertain
ing to the unfortunate Pacific. So
ends the sad story of the loss of n
steamer. with only two lives saved
and four bodies recovered, and fine
ship wrecked, forming in the cOmbi-
nation one of the most melancholy
catastrophes ever occurring on this
part of the Pacific coast. Too much
praise cannot be given to Capt. Har-
wood and the other officers and crew
of the revenue cutter WOlcott for the
energy and activity shown on this oc-
casiOn, and also to Peter Thompson,
pilot, who volunteered his services, as
he was well acquainted with the
shores of Vancouver island and the
surroundings of the Straits of Fuca;
and also to Mr.. Huntington, the In
dian Agent at Neah Bay reservation,
and in fact all with whom we came
in contact. Capt. HarwOod and the
| pilot, Peter Thompson, went to the
wreck of the Orpheus and examined
it carefully. They say that the ship
was undoubtedly struck by the steam
er just abaft the forward rigging.

The express" Makes a Mistake.

The Express of last evening says the
HERALD attacked the patent of the
Puente ranch for the purpose of COM
passing the defeat of negotiations un-
der way in San Francisco to relieve
the financial stress in Los Angeles.
This is misty--it is exceedingly misty.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. negotia-
tions-financial stress-San Francisco
Los Angeles" What does it all
mean? Is San Francisco negotiating
a stress i'm Los Angeles, and is the
Puente one of the arbitrators? We
have no doubt there is news in this
thing if we could only understand it..
But we guess the Express is trying to
saw that the HERALD's illusions to
the Puente patent are intended to in
jure some one. If it intends this it
knows that it utters q deliberate false
hood. How our allusion TO matter
which the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company have already placed on rec
ord, and which belongs to class of
issues which the Express first began
to discuss, can affect negotiations is a
conundrum which cannot be fathomed
without the aid of diagram. A lit
tie further on in the same article the
Express says of the HERALD: ''The
same paper has made it its special
business to select the property of par
ties with whom it is unfriendly for its
venomous defamation" The COM
munist organ is making the mistake
of measuring the HERALD by its own
standard. We remember that q few
months ago it.was "unfriendly" with
