HOME-SEEKERS.
Many Claimants File on the Men,
dOcinO Tract.

In the minds Of perhaps 100 persons WHO
gathered Oh Tuesday night in front of the
United States Land Office for the purpose
of fling claims to land in Mendocno
County, April FOOLS day should be made a
legal no iiday. and if their dreams Of pros
perity in that region are half realized in the
future it is likely TO be locally observed,
anyhow.
Promptly at o'clock yesterday morning
Receiver Sheehan and Lis corps of deputies
fled past the line Of waiting claimants and
prepared to receive them and their papers.
In the line were about 100 men and five
women, one of the latter being Miss Hattie
Bruins, a piucky little woman who has
taught school in Meudocino County, aud
knows tile value of the %, UC0 acres thrown
open TO the putlic.
The claimants were admitted by fours while
the utmost courtesy and quiet reigurd SUI
preme over the scene. In the first quartet
were l.. II. Lamborn OF Alameda. j. w.
Lowell Of Rockport, Mendocino County, f.
W. McEwen, San Francisco, and Stephen
Lam bOru, Alameda. The claims were pre-
scented and papers filed, and by IL O'clock
tile entire line had fed its weary length into
the Land Office.
The land thus parceed out is located in
Range II west, Mount DIablo base, and con-
tains about q, coo acres. Six months hence
tie settlers VIII have to pay up at the rate
Of s. 90 an acre. Holders OF pTe-emption
claims and homestead claims will be given
the preference in cases where land has been
filed on TWO or more times, as is thought to
have been the case Yesterday.

AT THE PUBLIC CRIB.
Stalls Fitted Up for Eight Re.
turned AssembIymen.

Now that the Legislature has adjourned
those who went from this city as Assembly
men have, of course, returned and arrange
ments are being make to squeeze them into
municipal stalls that they may continue to
feed at the public crib.
1t has been understood since the election
that Assemblyman Wentworth would be
chief assistant in the City and County At
toruey's office. The place has been tempo
rarily filed by Larry Welch. joseph Wind
row, John Giynn and Thomas FULLY will
probably find berths in the County Clerks
office. and Michael Coffey, James Daley and
George Williams have been provided for in
the Sherif's Office Registrar Brown also
appointed George Lewis his chief assistant
yesterday.
This makes eight Assemblymen out of
the twenty from this city that have been
provided for. 1t is rumored that this turn
OF events was not counted upon in all cases
when these several officials made their ap-
pointments, hence no provision was made
for the corners. But it is understood that
Mr. Crimmins pledged himself to six Of the
gentlemen named. and in order that the
goods may be delivered according to con-
tract some OF tie present deputies will have
to be displaced. Just who the unlucky ones
are has not vet been announced,

HUNTER AND HIS PISTOL.
The Latter Was Used Very Effectively on
Dairyman's Head.

Dairyman's Head.
Cola Armaine, dairyman near Bakers
Beach, came TO the Receiving Hospital yea
terdly morning to have three severe scalp
wounds dressed by the Police Surgeon.
The injuries, Armaine stated, were inflicted
by Nathaniel Hunter, Secretary of the So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ami
mails. who beat him with pistol.
According to Armaine's statement, Hun
ter ana several deputies of the Pound came
to his ranch on Tuesday afternoon and
seized his herd of thrty-one cows. He
demonstrated, but not being able to speak
English fluenIly, tried to explain himself by
driving his cows back. Hunter then as
saulted him and took the cows away.
Secretary Hunter states that Armaine's
place is within the pound limits and his
cows are allowed to roam at large. He was
asked by Pound Superintendent Partridge
to go out and impound them. He did so,
and Arnlainc threatened him with pitch
fork, as he had done on a former occasion
when an attempt was made TO impound
the cows. To save himself from injury, he
had used his pistol.
Armaine took out warrant for Hunters
arrest on a charge of assault with n deadly
weapon, and the same WAS served on Hunter
at O'Clock in the afternoon, but he was
released on his own recogniZance by Judge
WOIIey,

JAMES FAIRMAN, AM.
His Collection of Paintings on Exhibit
Al.

His Collection of Paintings on Exhibition
in the History Building.
Colonel James Fairman. an artist whose
life has been spent among the most noted of
the historic scenes of the Old World, and
whose highest idea of earthly glory is to be
able to reproduce and perpetuate on canvas
those objects which present themselves TO
the eye of the reader only through the me-
dunn of Imagination, has on exhibition
at the History Building a few of his
leading examples, which are now open
for public inspection. His Morning
at Niagara" is one Of the most complete and
realistic paintings of the mighty cataract
ever produced. The canvas is 9kx5h feet
in size, and the picture is valued at So 600.
1t is impossible to give a list of the paint
ings In his possession, but the artistic eye
will be pleased with the marked contrasts
IN the treatment of his subjects. Having
spent a number of years in Jerusalem and
the Holy Land, Colonel Farman made the
scenes described in Bible history n matter OF
profound study. and the minister, the theo-
logical student or any one interested In the
matters described in the New Testament.
will gather sOcie new ideas from Colonel
Fairman's description OF painting which
he is now completing. 1t is painting OF
the city Of Jerusalem. The Colonel has
made faithful copies Of everything con-
nected with the holy city, and the result of
his investigations has been to lead him to
believe that Mount Calvary in reality was
In a low, degraded, filthy valley, instead Of
q hill as is generally supposed.

His appearance on Market street attracted
an idle and curious crowd. which escorted
him to the ferry. He has already made two
similar trips between Los Angeles and Gin
cnnat, He expects to average about
twenty miles a day on his present attempt,
which will bring him to his destination IL
about six months.
An employee of the Palace Hotel, named
Edwards, is said to be preparing to make a
similar trio. According to a report he has
agreed to start three days later and to beat
Brothertor to New York.

the Police Judges infiict severe sentences.
What between the marrying of the police
and the rigor OF the Judges. a Migrants lot.
like poiceman's, is not happy one. The
action OF the police is already apparent, and
pretty soon close season for the vags may
follow. Sergeant Price aud posse, in little
tour through Chinatown yesterday. took in
nine white male Migrants, and Police Judge
Morley sent to the House of Correction for
ninety days John Pool F. Carson, All You

President, and Walter Besant the Secretary.
The newly elected member, who is but 20
years of age, is the youngest member of the

been received within the very select circle is
an evidence of the merits OF this lady writer.

Is What Insistence on Our
Rights Will Lead To.
The Bering Sea Negotiations
Can Go No Farther.
Such Is the Doubtful Remark At
tributed to Secretary Blaine.
The Sealeries Controversy Comes Up In
the United States Supreme
Court.
Associated Press Dispatches.

Associated Press Dispatches.
CHICAGO, Jan. PA Times Washing
ton special says: Blaine owned to q
friend that he could go no further in the
Bering sea controversy with England; !;
that the United States had nothing to
fight with, and that to insist on our
rights meant resort to arms.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-'The Bering sea
sealeries controversy came up in the
United States supreme court today, on
motion which has in view the judicial
determination of the dispute between
the United States and Great Britain
over the seal fisheries. Joseph H.
Choate, in behalf of Thomas Henry
Cooper, owner and claimant of the Brit
ish schooner, w. P. Sayward, which was
seized in the waters Of the Bering sea,
by the revenue cutter Rush, petitioned
the court for leave to file a petition for a
writ of prohibition, to be directed to the
Judge of the district court of the United
States, in and for the territory of
Alaska, restraining him from proceed
ing with the condemnation and sale of
the vessel. The object is to have the
court take up and pass upon the ques-
tion of jurisdiction over these waters.
The justice made an order giving the
attorney-genera two weeks to file an
answer to the brief of Choate, giving
the reasons, if any, why the petition
should not be granted.
The brief filed by Choate begins by re-
citing that, by the law of nations, the
municipal laws of the country have no
extra territorial force, and cannot OPP
crate on foreign vessels on the high seas,
and it is legally impossible, under the
public law, for foreign vessel to COM
NIT breach of municipal law beyond
the limits of the territorial jurisdiction
of the law-making states; that the seiz-
ure of foreign vessel beyond the limits
of the municipal territorial Jurisdiction,
for breach of municipal regulations, is
not warranted by the law Of nations,
and such seizure cannot give jurisdic-
tion to the courts of the offended coun-
try; least of all where the alleged act
was committed by foreign vessel at a
place of seizure beyond municipal terri
torial jurisdiction; that by the law of,
nations, British vessel sailing on the
high seas is not subject to any municipal
law, except that of Great Britain.
The court is informed that Sir John
Thompson, her majesty's attorney-gen-
eral in Canada, authorizes this motion
to be presented with the knowledge and
approval of the imperial government of
Great Britain.
