This Country Held Up as Assuming
an Argentine Protectorate.
LONDON, March 81, A. M.-The Times
CORES pondent at Buenos Ayres telegraphs
as follows: "An indiscreet notice In the
press, the origin of which has been traced
TO one Of the ministers, stated
that Admiral Walker was the bearer
Of happy proposals which insured
the settlement OF the questions between
the Argentine Republic and the United
States. This was supported by subsequent
post-prandial speeches OF the American
minister, the secretary Of legation and the
American officers here. An official denial
led Inc closely to investigate the affair
As result have come
to the conclusion that the Argentine
declaration that reciprocity with the United
States has been declined was only half the
truth. At fret the Argentine government
declined 10 hold their warships at the dis
posal of the United States, but the govern
ment has now accepted in principle.
Admiral Walkers generous offer OF United
States protection in case the Argentine
Republic becomes involved in boundary
questions with Chile and Brazil and Of pro-
lection against foreign interference II the
Argentine Republic attempts 70 cancel her
European obligations.
BRAZIL THROWN OVER.
Brazil desiring to rsscind the reciprocity
treaty which was obtained, as the Brazil.
ianS declare, under promises which have not
been fulfilled. has now been thrown over by
the United States. Chile might perhaps be
attacked through the Argentine Republic,
while funds will be advanced to Peru to
enable her to pay Chile the Tacna-Arica in
demnity, the consideration Of this being the
excellent and easily defensible port Of
Chimbote, which Ia to be held ready as
United States naval station. This is part OF
Secretary Blaine's ambitious programme to
destroy Europern influence In the South
Atlantic and Pacific In order to secure a
good card for the presidential
election. The present moribund
Argentine government does not
represent the feeling Of the most valuable
class of public opinion, In that 1t has ac-
cepted semi-protectorate from the United
States. The government, however, insists
that it gives absolutely nothing. and only
accepts what binds the United States and
not Argentine. II is alleged that Admiral
Walker has also been negotiating with
Uruguay"

AT PRETTY PETALUMA.
The Foresters Have a Very
Gay Day Of It.
A PARADE AND PICNIC.
Courts Inter No, ard Acme Enjoy Very
Pleasant Time in Fsasting, Dancing
and Games.
PARADE AND PICNIC.

The members of courts Inter Nos. and
Acme Of the Ancient Order of Foresters of
America had good time yesterday.
They celebrated Admission day by giving
a joint picnic and family excursion to
Starke's Park. Petaluma.
Over 1000 people were fortunate enough
to be numbered among those who enjoyed
the day In true Forester style.
Before going on the excursion over 1900
members of the various courts In this city
and Alameda paraded from the new City
HalfPark to the ferry landing.
They were escorted by the knights OF
Sherwood Forest in full uniform.
The First Regiment band led the process
sion.
When the Foresters reached the ferry
they found their wives, daughters, sisters
and sweethearts awaiting their arrival with
bursting hampers of luncheon and other
coed things.
After a few minutes wait the steamer
Tiburon glided out OF the Slip with over
1000 on board all bound for the same desti-
nation.
At Point Tiburon the excursion party
was further augmented by several hundred
Marin County Foresters.
At Petalums the Foresters were received
by the local court, and a procession was
formed through the principal streets to the
picnic grounds.
Foresters have appetites like everybody
else, and the hampers OF luncheon were soon
empted of their contents
Then everybody turned in to have good
time, and they had it.
Those who liked tripping across and about
the waxed floor had their surfeit of dancing.
Between numbers the old and young
Joined in the many sports provided for their
entertainment.
The fat men had a footrace, and so had
the fat ladies.
The young ladies and men, the boys and
the girls, all tried their skill on the ciuder
track. and won valuable prizes according to
their merits.
Then there was tug of war.
Ii was Inter Nos against Acme.
1t was long pull, a steady pull. by both
sides. but the little red signal which marked
the center Of the rope was gradually hauled
over by the Inter Nos tuggers, and they
were awarded the prize.
The prettest girl and handsomest man
got the rewards. and even the h0meliest
man got something, though he made strenu-
Gus effort to shirk the honor.
But he was discovered and his presence
made known to the multitude to his chagrin
and dismay.
The gate prizes numbered sixty-two valu-
able articles.
The picnic was an event in the history of
Forestry that will long be remembered.
Among those who were prominent in
making the day success were M. Coffey,
5. A. White. W. W. Campbell. T. +. Blake.
j. Sparrow, j. Gardner, r. Relyea, Richard
L. Whelan, j. Cordy and others.
The weary picnickers arrived in the city
about s P. NJ. They were snnburned and
weary but were happy withal, and the re-
Taxation of Admission day will enable them
to confront The stern duties Of life with
more complacency.

A DEPUTY IS SURPRISED.
Boatmen Recover a Body and
Lose It Again.
It Is lowed to Oakland, but Is Given Up By
the Coroner ard Returned TO
This City.

Bodies and boats were mixed mp rather
promiscuously around Goat Island yester-
day.
The trouble began as early as o'clock In
the morning, when boatmen named Henry
Rahle and Thomas Little found badly de-
composed body floating north OF the Island
They towed the body ashore. drew it up
ON the beach along the north side of the
island. and tied it to a rock with the boats
painter.
The boatmen rowed back TO Washington
street wharf and telephoned an account of
their discovery to the Morgue.
1t was after 10 o'clock when Deputy Cor
oner Bridgewood started for the island in
Whitehall boat, rowed by two muscular
oarsmen.
A receiver was taken along, and the re-
ceptacle for the dead attracted much attic n
tion as the boat proceeded toward the ISL
and.
A great surprise was in store for the
deputy.
Arriving at the spot where the body had
been left the men discovered that it had
disappeared.
What bad become of itp
That was the question Bridgewood al
first found rather difficult to solve.
He was rowed around the island, but the
persons Intercepted could impart no infor-
nation.
Finally fisherman was found who de-
clared that he bad seen two boatmen towing
body toward the Oakland mole.
Ii turned out to be true, and Bridgewood
lost no time in following the body.
He arrived at the mole just in time to pre-
vent the body from being removed to Oak
land.
1t had been placed in the Oakland Morgue
wagon, but the deputy's arrival stopped its
eastward progress.
Bridgewood telephoned to Coroner Evers
OF Alameda County, who promptly relin-
pushed all claim to the body.
Then the remains were transferred TO the
receiver in the boat and brought to this city.
at the Morgue they were identified as
those of Jacob jacobson, otherwise known
as John Swanson, sailor, who was
drowned week ago last Sunday.
He was one of the crew OF the schooner
Maid of Orleans, which collided with the
British ship Alameda in the bay on that
day.
Captain Treanor and the negro cook of
the schooner were also swept overheard and
drowned.
Their bodies are still in the water
The captain aud several passe myers on
the ferry steamer Bay City saw the body OF
man floating 100 yards south Of Goat
Island about noon yesterday.
1t was supposed TO be the body of the un-
lucky captain of the schooner. AS there is
reward of $50 for the recovery of Captain
Treanor's body half dozen boatmen
started out in search of it.
If they recover the remains of some other
person they will at least obtain the city's
standing reward of so.
Jaeobson's body will be inferred by the
Coast Seamen's Union. of which he was
member,
