was travelling incognito, the French Govern
ment could compromise the matter by send
ing the chief of President Carnots military
household, General Brugere, and NJ. Ribot,
Minister of Foreign Affairs, to call upon
the ex.Empress. This was accordingly

THE TITLE 70 AN ISLAND.
Fremont's Claim to the Ownership of Property
in San Franniscn Rav

'PITTsBURG, Feb. 25.-Rev. W. R. Covert
Of Fipdlay, Ohio, has retained counsel to
press the claim of himself and the heirs OF
General John C. Fremont to the ownership
Of Bird (Alcatraz) Island in the bay of San
Francisco. The amount involved is esli-
mated at over $4,000, 600. General Fremont,
when military Governor of California, pur-
chased the island from Mexico. Uncle Sam
repudiated the purchase. and declined to
either buy from the Pathfinder or reimburse
him. However, the general Government
some years later took possession Of the
island, which is the key TO San Francisco
harbOr, and erected fOrtifcations and q
lighthouse upon it at a cost Of over So. 0O0, =
600. General Fremont sought relief from
Congress in vain. Some time before he
died, being low in funds, he secured financial
aid from Mr.. Covert, giving therefor the
option on half-interest in the island. He
intended to press hi, claim, but death inter
vened. Mrs. Jessie Benton Fremont and
her children will soon Join in the proceed
ings before the Court of Claims.
1t is said the Fremont heirs will include
in their suit for Bird, or Alcatraz Island n
claim held by the General against Black
Point One of the claimants to the property
in dispute is a resident OF san Francisco
and is the proprietor of a livery stable. AL
catraz, the 81 anish name for pelican, was
in former years the resort for thousands OF
pelicaHs, and the island was generally
known as Bird Island.
