VICTORIA, B. c., July 1S.-The much
talked-of case of the Rev. Alfred r.
Raams, charged with the abduction of
Lucy Rucker from her home in Merced,
Cal. has disappeared for a time at least
from the records Of British Columbia
courts.
This morning when Reams was restored
to liberty the case was taken up under an
application of the defense for release
under habeas corpus. and the point was
developed regarding the California law OF
abduction. Reams. through Lawyers lay
lor and Yates, claiming that the case for
the prosecution was faulty in that 1t did
not prove the California law to be the
taking away of the girl, no immoral pur-
poses being alleged.
The prosecution accordingly withdrew
the charge, not being able 10 produce au-
thorities, and pending the framing OF fresh
information charging the recreant pastor
with taking the girl from home to place
her in a house of prostitution, Reams was
allowed to depart
The whole matter was complete sur
prise TO the LAWYERS as we'll as spectators.
and the former were almost stupetied when
the pastor bowed to the Judge and lett
court. He is keeping out of the way now
and may possibly endeavor to dodge re-
arrest. At present he joys the air of free

WASHINGTON. July 13-The dispatch
reporting the arrival Of ship at VAL
paraiso with cargo of 10000 sealskins.
taken at an unknown point in the Antarc-
tic Ocean, was shown Professor Goode. the
well-known expert Of the Smithsonian In
stitution. who replied:
lit is not at all improbable that such
catch has been made. for seals occur on
both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of
South America about the southern ex-
tremlty. and on all the outlying islands.
including not only the Falklands, tie

all the islands making up the chain of

ruptedly from Cape Horn and the Falk-
land eastward to Australia and New
Zealand, including those south of the Cape
Of Good Hope. SO famous in the annals of
seal fishery. The rookie les in that part of
the world, however, were practically aban-
d0ned some years ago, for the reason that
owing to Great Britain's failure to protect
them the seals there became almost ex-
tinct and did not pay for the time and
trouble spent In hunting them. 1t may be
that these years of comparative safety
have resulted in a restoration of seal life
to the former extent. Ii so, l wonder il

Among the callers at the Governors
room yesterday was Jacob Ii. Neff. who
owns mine or two up in Placer and who
is pretty widely known in politics. He
had come all the way from Colfax to say a
word for his friend. Mr.. Stump. and when
re emerged from the discussion he looked
happy. !,
he said, "and beyond that | believe that
the Governor has had him strongly in mind
from the first"
Colonel Frank S. Chadbourne also saun-
tered in along about dinner time with
Major Frank Mclaughlin OF Oroville, and
the first named was heard to remark that
he might be induced to accept the senator
ship If the situation became any more
EN- mbarrassing. Both held the Governors
attention a few minutes and then went
down the street to talk the matter over.
Visitors were coming and going all the
evening and to each the Governor gave
respectful hearing. He wants to know
how the people feel about the matter. he
says. and the only way to secure THIS IN
formation is to listen patiently and atten-
lively as he does. Every one Is admitted
without ceremony. and to all he gives the
same pleasant reception.
AS it is, he says that he has not yet fully
made up his mind. but he thinks that he
will be able by this evening to figure out
what he will do. No announcement OF his
choice Will be made. however, until he goes
to Sacramento. and as he will leave here
to- night the chances are that Thursday
will see the suspense relieved. The Gov
ernor believes that he will be able 10 give
the name Of Senator Stanford's successor
to the public before the end of the week,
and he thinks at the same time that the
capital is the proper place from which to
give out the news.
To-day he will probably exchange calls
with Vice-President Steven son. and in the
hurry of official courtesies the matter of
the vacant senatorship will be laid aside

Knocked Out.

Governor Markham was closeted with

ing the latter had been sent for, and had
responded with alacrity. What was SAID
in the seclusinn of the room no one will
ever know except those who took part,
but it was noticed that when Mr.. de
Young departed he had the look OF man
who had lost his best friend. That he was
not pleased was evident. and to his ac-
uuaintances he spoke only in monOsyllables
and skipped away alone.
During the afternoon Irving M. Scott
called, by request. it was supposed. aud
he, too, had long and earnest consulta-

intimate even what had occurred, but 1t
was generally believed than the senator
ship had been the subject OF discussion.
More significant. however. was the fac,
that Irwin e. Stump was summoned twice
to the Governors room, once during th.
afternoon and again late in the evening.
Mr.. Stump was evidently in the best of
spirits after the last interview, and odd
were offered with no takers that he would
be the man selected.
Stronger than ever last night was the
belief that Mr.. de Young was about out OF
