WILL RAISE TWO MILLION,

Captain Ryan Expects to Dive and Bring Up
q Fortune.
From the Seattle observation-disclosures.
Capt. F. Ryan, the government diver, expects
to complete arrangements in few days to 20
to Yokohama to raise %. O0O, 600 worth of gold
bullion which sank in 265 feet of water in the
harbor there some years ago. Capt. Ryan will
get half Of the treasure il he succeeds in rails
ing it.
Mr.. Ryan says the bullion was lost over
board while being transferred from one
vessel to another, and that several Japanese
divers have attempted to raise it, and three
or four Of them lost their lives in the under
taking. and that diver on a British man-of-
war also lost his life in the attempt. He
says that finally the Japanese government
requested its consul at San Francisco to
make arrangements With an American diver
and promise half the treasure to any one who
will recover it. Capt Ryan heard OF the matter
and immediately went to see the Japanese vice
consul in Seattle and made proposition to him,
which was forwarded to the consul at San Fran
cisco, and Capt. Ryan expects an answer in q
few days.
Capt. Ryan says that he offered to 60 to Yoko-
hama and raise the bullion for one-half of it,
as the Japanese government proposes, but he
wants $500 in cash before starting, the expenses
for himself and his three attendants paid and
500 day for himself, $40 per day for his
tender and $40 q day for each of his bumpers.
This he wants as a guarantee that the amount
of treasure stated is really lost in not more than
forty-6ve fathoms of water. On recovering the
property he will return all the money pre-
viously advanced. Speaking of the matter
yesterday, Capt. Ryan said:
There are no divers to equal the American
divers. If that bullion is really there in that
depth of water can recover Il, and il 1 do

coming out of the works last night Bergen,
with some others, was tormenting Edward
Kreff, green German boy, who, in his anger,

Assigned to the Fourth Monday of the
Term-The Defence.

LEWISTON, January 19.-In the Su-
preme Court today, the case of the Shoe
and Leather National Bank was assigned
to the fourth Monday of the term. Hon.
G. F. Libby, of counsel for the bank,

stating that the banks counsel having
been recently retained had not been able
to fully prepare their case, and that the
pleadings not having been filed, the line
Of defence was not known to the coun-
sci for the bank, except as outlined by
Mr.. Baker, of counsel for the bondsmen
in conversation. The court asked Mr..
Libby to state the defence as MI. Baker
had outlined it, and Mr.. Libby did so.
There were three points:
First-An enlargement of the bank S

Second-The negligence of the direct
ors of the bank.
Third-The fact that the directors had
allowed the ex-cashier to continue in Of
fee after having been notified of irregu-
larities.
In response to question by the court,
MI. Baker said that the pleadings had
been made, but since the bondsmen s
counsel had had access to the books,
which had been recent, they desired to
make certain changes before filing. Mr..
Baker objected to continuance beyond
this term.
After further discussion, Judge Libbey
said the case might be postponed to the
fourth Monday of the term.

NO ICE ON THE HUDSON.
Little Left from Last Year and No Crop in
Sight This Winter.

ALBANY, January 19.-The water in
the Hudson is again rising, being 10 feet
above mean tide. A heavy rain fell last
night, which adds to the seriousness of
the situation from an ice harvester
point of view. The Hudson's icy cover
ing, which was broken up by last weeks
freshet, became jammed at two points
south of here, which caused the water to
set back again. The first gorge fills the
channel to the bottom from Schodack
channel light to New Baltimore, a dis
tance of four miles. The second jam is
from Coxsackle to Four Mile Point, be-
ing one mile in extent. The ice harvest
ers are discouraged over the conditions
of the weather and river and entertain
little hope for much of crop this sea-
season. Reports from all sections are
that there is little ice fit to cut, the great
er amount, even on ponds, being too thin
for any use whatever. 1t is estimated
that there is not over 5000 tons of ice
remaining in the houses along the Hud-
son from last years supply. This is all
held by the Knickerbocker Company.

Ranger and Nipsic have been asked for
by the Navy Department. The Mohican
is ready and can leave the yard at any
time. having her crew and stores on
board. The Charlestonis expected here
and will go in the dock at once. A large
increase is expected in the yards and
dock forces to get her out of the dock
quickly. The Baltimore is in the stream
and has force of workmen on board.
Delay in the case of the Baltimore is due
to the fact that her steam condensing
tubes have become clogged and it is nee
essary to have these cleaned, which will
require ten days. Inside of month, the
yard can be cleared of all the vessels
now here, in case the pre- sent force re-
main on duty. The orders concerning
repairs to the Nipsic are considered sur
prising in view of the fact that she was
to have done duty at the navy yard at
Port Orchard.
Despite denials that the government
is looking after Spreckels's new tug Fear
less, Admiral Irwin and Captain Schley
were again at the Union Iron Works Sat
urday and inspected the monster tug
boat. The captain was particularly
pleased with the Fearless, and said she
would make a splendid torpedo boat.
The only thing needed, he said, was to
put protective armor over the engine
room. .ssty4s-
The tug can be completed in. two
weeks. She is 152 feet long, &c feet beam
and IS feet depth of hold. She has per-
feet electric search light, and could

indicated horse power is between HOO

hour and carry coal for so days trip.
