New YORK, April 25.-Lieutenant F.
2. Fremont characterizes the statement
made by General John c. Coburn of In
diana, that he was not responsible for the
non-passage of the House of Representa-
tives bill restoring to Mrs Fremont the
property at San Jose Point, San Fran
cisco, which was taken from her husband
during the war, as not being as frank and
complete as it might be. "In Coburn's
statement" he says, "he quotes from the

but he fails to mention those that
snow the contracts. He fails also to
note that the bill to determine the
facts in Mrs. Fremont's case passed
the House in 1871, being drawn forth
by the action of the House and the Senate
in passing the bill of July l, 1870, which
returned the property through the city of

excluded Mrs. Fremont, for when the
examination was made it was found that
her land was too valuable TO the Govern

to be among those who had their land re-
turned, and SO, although her title was
perfect from the city of San Francisco,
and the land was returned to the CITY by
the United States without consideration
she was denied the benefits that others
received.

FRESNO. April 25.-Two important
suits were begun to-day in the Superior
Court by Laura j. Hildreth. administra-
triX of the estate of Thomas Hildreth
ct al. against jeff G.. James, j. r. White
ct al. One is to set aside judgment OBJ
tanned by defendants against plaintiff in
the Superior Court of this county, the
purpose of SAID suit being to quiet title
to the Hildreth ranch, containing nearly
1900 acres. Plaintiffs in the first suit
filed to-day claim that said judgment
was traudulently obtained by the sup
preston of certain evidence, consisting
OF deed given as mortgage by Thomas
Hildreth TO Charles Mclaughlin to secure
loan of $4,000. subsequently The late
Hildreth made contract of sale with W.
w. Davis and ID. p. Edwards, two of the
defendants in this case, i'll which it
was provided that in consideration
of the payment by the parties of the sec
ond part TO Hildreth of 7,25S. and their
complying with the terms of the agree
ment, entered into by them with Kate
Mclaughlin, eXecutriX Of the estate of
Charles Mclaughlin Ito pay $40, 900 bor-
rowed by Hildreth from Charles Nc
Laughlinl, he (Hildreth) would execute
and deliver to them the deed for said
land. This they failed to do, but plaint-
ifs allege that they induced Kate Nc
Laughlin to bring suit against plaintiffs
in this case TO quiet title to said land, and
obtain a judgment against them by sup
pressing evidence before referred to.
Plaintiffs ask that this judgment be set
aside.
The second suit of Laura J. Hill is to
eject J. q. James, j. r. White, w. Davis
and ID. u. Edwards, for possession of said
ranch and for S10,0 600 damages.

Entitled to Cheaper Freight Rates

Los ANGELES. April 25.-In the United
States Circuit Court this morning Judge
Ross read an opinion in which he dis
missed the petition of the City of San
Bernardino to cause the Santa Fe Rail
road Company to carry freight from
Eastern points to San Bernardino as
cheap as to Los Angeles. The contention
was that San Bernardino is on the same
line of road, directly on the route from
the East TO Los Angeles, and is sixty
miles farther east than Los Angeles.
Judge Ross held that inasmuch as Los
Angeles was terminal point, under the
interstate commerce law it was entitled
to cheaper rates than interior points on
the same road.

VICTORIA (B. c., April 25.-G. Z. w.
Gleadowe, of the Imperial Treasury De-
retary of the National Marine Insurance
Association, arrived yesterday. They
were appointed by the British Govern
ment to inquire into the claims for COM
pensation made by sealers apropos of the
renewal of the moduS UiUe1ldi for two
years. Captain Cox, a prominent sealer,
said that ii the mlOduS was enforced for
two years the only way for many sealers
was to sell to representatives OF other
nations. Representative from Germany
and Italy would probably be here shortly
10 take the SchoOnerS over and send them
to Behring Sea under other flags. w. b.
Hall says that what the sealers want is
TO get other nations interested, so that if
England will not protect the sealers other
nations will.
OF the sealers flying their flags last
year, one OF the sealing captains asked
the commander of an American cutter if
he would seize schooner flying the Ger
man flag. NO" said the commander
.'Our orders are only to warn and seize
British or American schooners." The
owners of schooners are therefore of the
opinion that if vessels fly foreign flags
they will not be prevented from sealing,
and then all the principal nations of the
world will be interested in the question.
Ii this cannot be done. the schooners will
have to do the best they can in Behring
Sea and then go out for halt season next
year. All sealers. with the exception of
two or three, are fitted out for Behring
Sea. and many are about ready to enter
SO that if the warning reaches them be-
fore they get catch it VIII come hard on
many owners, some of whom have every
cent they possess in the vessels.
The schooners here and those which
receive warning early, will probably go
right over to the Russian coast If the
Government does not change the mOduS
before next spring, it is almost an assured
fact that sixty British schooners, hailing
from Victoria, will sail under foreign
flags and look to foreign Governments
for protection.

sensational phase in the Radloff case was
developed to-day in the arrest of DR..
Frank r. Ballard of Fremont. a suburb
of Seattle. The arrest was made on con-
fession of Mrs. Radloff. Partly through
fear of Radlotf, on account of his intimacy
with Mrs. Radloff, and partly through a
desire to receive a share of the money,
Ballard entered into plot with Radloff
and kostrauch to defraud the life insur-
ance companies out of S55,000 1t was
agreed that Ballard was to swear that the
oadaver found in the burned ruins of
Radlotf's house was William Radloff7s
body. This he did. He was also TO assist
Mrs. Radloff, who was to remain in
Seattle, in collecting the insurance from
the life insurance companies. For his
aid he was to receive $4,000. The police
are close upon the track of Radloff, and
expect to have him in custody soon.
