After Timber Cutters.

Washington, March 25.-By res olution of the Senate on the 7th of January last, the committe on mines and mining was instructed to as- certain all the facts and circum- stances connected with the bringing of certain suits by the United States against persons for cutting timber for mining and domestic purposes in Nevada, and to inquire If such suits have caused any interruption in mining operations in the state. In accordance with this resolution Senator Stewart submitted report to the Senate to-day of the inquiry made by the committee into the subject. The report says: "Since 1848 miners have made their own rules and regulations, limiting the extent of mining claims, covering right of possession and regulating the use of lumber and water for mining purposes. The legality of these rules and regulations was affirmed by the decision of the courts. The practice of cutting lumber was continued until 1877, when Secretary Schurz caused pros cautions to be instituted against the miners in some of the terri torres for cutting timber. The mat ter was brought to the attention of Congress, and on June 3, 1878 an act was passed authorizing miners in mining districts of the United States. to fell and remove timber for mining and domestic purposes. The miners treated this act as a settlement of the question, and were not interfered with again for some time.

Auckland agent of the Oceanic steamship line, whose steamships
 ply between here and Australia, ca bled John D. Spreckels, president of the company, that Lieutenant Wilson desired to secure accommo- dations on the steamship Mariposa, which will touch at Auckland on her return trip from Sydney in the latter part of April, for the 300 wrecked sailors at Samoa, to be taken to San Francisco. The Mar iposa is entitled to carry only 250 passengers, The department ofstate has been requested by telegraph to grant permission for the steamship to take the extra passengers. The steamship Alameda left Auckland three days ago. It is thought she touched at Samoa today, and it is thought she will bring large num- Der of the shipwrecked sailors to this port without waiting for the Mariposa to receive orders, The Alameda is due here April 13.
 Washington, March 30.-Captain Selfridge, United States Navy, was found at the navy department this morning studying over charts of the harbor of Apia, which he visit ed several years ago. He said that while it was a very bad harbor, it was the best of the Island of Upola Luks. All of the Pacific island har- bors, as that of Apia, are formed by coral reef encircling the island at a short distance from the shore
 The only space available for mon of war being about 1000 feet wide at the most. The harbor at the bottom is sandy ,affording but slight hold for an anchor and the harbor is exposed on the north. On each side of the entrance are coral reefs, which are submerged at high water and surrounded by shoals. The depth of the water ranged from four to eight fathoms, pretty deep water being found close in shore, which would enable ship to get close in. The hurricanes, or cyclones, at Apia are usually from the south west, and they tend to force vessels on the rugged reefs or rough shores. The last hurricane occurred at Apia just six years ago. Fortunately no man of war was in the harbor, but every merchantmen was driven a. shore or wrecked, houses were de- stroyed and palm trees uprooted.

ed, and four vessels of 1880 tons be- gun.
 Italy has launched ten vessels of 1S,S17 tons displacement, and has building eighteen vessels of 30,701 tons.
 Spain has launched an iron four teen-knot cruiser 1,152 tons, and has in course of construction six belted cruisers of 1000 tons each, two protected cruisers of 4,000 tons each, steel cruisers of 1,O26 tons, and four torpedo boats of 600 tons displacement. The protected crui- sers are well along toward compile ton.
 Even Austria, Sweden, Portugal, Holland and Turkey have added to their respective navies, while the United States, with an enormous sea-coast to protect, a vast con- merce to care for, and an overflow ing treasury to draw upon, has con- tracted for 15,OOO tons to be added to her navy. One ship of the new British navy covers nearly as much tonnage as all the vessels we have let contracts for.
 It is time for us to build some thing besides swift cruisers. Once in d while a war ship has something to do besides running away, and naval warfare connot be entirely confined to commerce destroying. Nobody wants naval war, but we cannot control such matters, and we ought to have navy that can fight if the occasion arises. The Russian proverb is very pertinent and forcible one. "Shake hands with the bear, but keep hold of the ax." We may have to shake hands with the bear whether we want to or not, and we must provide the ax and have it ready and at hand.- San Francisco Chronicle.

War Ships.

Some days ago an Eastern dis patch spoke with some air of pride of what the United States was doing in the way of building war vessels, the assertion being made that con- tracts had been let, which when completed, would increase the ton mage of our navy by some 15,00O tons.
 It may be well to see what other nations have been doing while we have been talking, and to make a partial comparison of European na- vies with what our own will be when it is increased by the 15,0OO tons referred to.
 Great Britain has not been idle during the past year. The Nile, turret ship of Il, ,940 tons displace- ment, was launched in March, 1888. and nearly~ready to go into com mission. Five projected cruisers of nearly 5000 tons each. two con- posite sloops of 1140 tons and six frst-class gunboats of 750 tons each have been built and put afoat two twin-screW steel vessels of 5000 tons are in process of construction, and host of smaller vessels are be- ing built. A summary of British naval work for 1888 shows that seventeen vessels have been launch ed with an aggregate displacement of 35,425 tons, and that there are on the stocks twenty-eight vessels representing 41,065 tons.
 France has launched one armor- ed battle-ship of 10,480 tons dis placement, and one armored coast defense vessel of 1,610 tons. A second battle-ship of 10,480 tons and two armored cruisers of 6,297 tons have been authorized and large number of swift unprotected cruisers are in process of construc tion.
 Germany has added to her naval fleet two fourteen-knot cruisers, each of 1,3O0 tons, and four torpe- do boats of 25O tons each. She has under way an eighteen-knot cruis- ing corvette of 4 4,280 tons,an armor- ed gun vessel of 1 200 tons, and a fourteen-knot cruiser of 1 300 tons. Her years work foots up six vessels of 5000 tons displacement launch

SEEKERS after gold should not get excited over unauthenticated re- ports of rich discoveries. Remem- Der the year 1889 is more than like ly to be one of mining settlements, and 1t is we'll to bear in mind that, as a rule, the first news sent out, when a new mining camp is dis covered, generally contains but a meagre proportion of the truth, and in nine cases out of ten, no truth at all. Thus sensible people should not rush off pell-mell, with the fal- lacious hope of scooping up untold quantities of the golden dust. The recent Carizo fizzle in this county, is fair sample of the many such gold settlements, that may be ex- pected to occur frequently during the year 1889. Again. we say to all, particularly to tenderfeet, don't go of at half cock.

JUST like one of the common herd, Miss Pauline Fuller, fifth daughter of Chief Justice Fuller, eloped a few days ago with J. Matt Aubrey, and the twain were duly ceremonized (excuse tlris coinage) into marital relations, by an iordi- nary Justice of the Peace of Mil waukee, Wisconsin, Miss Fuller, is IT, and her present husband is 23 years of age. In this runaway match, as i'll nearly all such esca- pades, the second motive is the "cruel parient," the first being a de- sire to carry out a scriptural in- junction. Will stubborn or mulish "parients" never learn simple fact; fact which has been demon strated by the centuries of the past, that when a girl once gets the thing into her unreasoning head, she can never be satisfied thereafter, until that thing is consummated other wise.

A WASHINGTON dispatch of the 30th ult., says: The lands for ces- sion for which the Indian Commits sion will negotiate, embrace all of the Indian territory west of the Seth degree of longitude except Greer county, the Oklahoma section recently opened by the Presidents proclamation, and such other lands as have been heretofore sold and contain approximately 100000 acres. There is however, some ques- tion as to whether the law contem- plates negotiations with the Choc- taws, Creeks and Chickasaws, only a portion of whose lands lie west of the Seth degree. If it decided 1t was the intent of the law to in- clude these lands it will reduce the area to be opened to settlement to about 167, ,000 acres. The same act provides that negotiations with the Cherokees for the accession of the Cherokee outlet shall prove upon substantially the same basis as the agreement recently negotiated with the Creeks and Seminoles, and that upon ratification of this agreement by the Cherokee nation the lands so ceded shall become part of the public domain without further act of congress.

 Washington, March 30.-It is the opinion of Admiral Harmony, who is familiar with Samoa, that the English man of war owed her es- cape to the fact that she had steam up and was enabled to push out to sea. The number of vessels lying in the small harbor was a source of danger to them individually; for if one dragged anchors she would collide with and carry away another ship which might otherwise have held securely.
