THE MISSING GERMANIA.
Her Owners Still Believe That the
Bark Is Not Lost.

A dispatch was received at the Mer-
chants Exchange last evening regarding
the overdue bark Germanta, bound from
Seattle for this port. ltwas stated in the
dispatch that the bark had been spoken on
the 9th inst about eighty miles off the Co.
iumbia River 10 latitude 46:17 North long
itude 26:10 West, and at the time she was
under easy SAIL
This was, of course. before the heavy
storm swept along the northern coast. at
the time the bark was but four days out,
she having left Seattle on the I'd inst. The
bark is an old vessel, and seafaring men
say that they would not be surprised
if she foundered in a heavy sea when coal
laden.
She is owned by P. B. Cornwall & Co.,
and on November q last when leaving
Seattle for here she sprung leak and had
to be towed to Port Blakeley snd,repaired.
Her owners have by no means given her
up and do not believe that sha succumbed
to the fury of the storm. 1t is said that
vessel looking very much like her was
seen by the captain of the ship John A.
Briggs no later than last Tuesday. forty
miles off shore, and abreast of Gray's
Harbor.

RAILROAD GRANT SUIT.
Does Mineral Land Go to the COM
panY Receiving Aid ?

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The full bench
of the Supreme Court was engaged today
in hearing the evidence in the case of
Barden VS.. the Northern Pacific Railroad
COMPANY, which comes to this court on
appeal from the Circuit Court for the Dis
trict of Montana. The question is whether
the lands ascertained to be mineral lands
after the grant TO the railroad company
are the property of the company, Congress
having excluded mineral lands from the
operations of the grant. The railroad COM
pany insists that only such mineral lands
are excluded as were known to be mineral
lands at the time Of the grant, while coun-
sci for Barden asserts that mineral lands
are excluded up to the time that the patent
was issued. The Government is uphold
ing the case of Barden. who was repre-
sented by Solicitor-General Maxwell and
w. w. Dixon, James Mcknight and j. j.
Carter appearing for the railroad COM
pany. The principle laid down by the
court in its decision OF this case will have
an important bearing on other mineral
land contests in Montana. and the inter-
ests at stake are very large. Most of the
mineral lands along the Northern Pacific
in Montana. Idaho and Washington will
be affected by this case.

considerable testimony was heard on both
sldes, but finally petition was presented
TO the court from the receivers asking that
the wages be restored In all cases where
an undeserved cut had been made, thus
preventing discrimination between or
ganized and unorganlzed labor. After this
petition had been read the attorneys for
the men asked that the court order
restoration of salaries from September /,
the date when the cut went into effect. In
announcing the reservation of his decision
Judge Dundy said he proposed to cover
the case fully, as he felt that Judge Cald-
well had not treated him fairly in exclud-
ing him from the hearing Of the wage
schedule case and thus preventing him
from stating his reasons for granting the
original order in the matter. He proposed.

WARM FOR POACHERS
They Will Be Shown No Mercy
in the North.
1t Makes No Difference Whether
They Have Heard of the
Orders or Not.

WASHINGTON. April 1.-THE sailing
orders and instructions to he commanders
of the ships for the Bsring Sea patrol were
completed to-day and submitted TO the
Secretary of State for his approval. So
far they are kept secret, but the general
tenor of the iD Instructions, it is understood,
require the naval officers to SeiZe any ves-
sci found engaged in sealing north of the
IhiTty-fiith parallel of latitude after May l
and before August 1. The presence on
board of sealing apparatus will be re-
garded as sufficient proof of the character
of the vessel 10 warrant her seizure. The
seized vessel. if carrying the United
States flag, will be sent to the nearest
United States port and delivered TO the
judicial officers there TO avail trial. Ii a
British vessel, il will be turned over to the
British naval officers. who will return her
to Victoria. The sailing orders will also
be kept secret, so as not to defeat
tie purpose of disD0sipg OF the
vessels or fleets, and to make it
probable that no sealing craft eau
venture far into the sealing waters with
out a reasonable certainty OF capture.
Some of the naval vessels will lie in walt
in the neighborhood Of Sand Point and at
the mouth of the passes between the Aleu-
tian Islands, through which the seals
would pass from the North Pacific into
Bering Sea. A contingent of the fleet will
cruise off the coast Of British Colum bia
and Southern ALASKA. following up the
seal herds. The TACT that vessel, United
States or British Columbia, has cleared
from port before the PRONUNCIATION of the
laws will not suffice TO save her from
seizure. Her cruise will be cut short and
she will be returned To port to be dealt
with by the courts.
The President has directed Chief
Richards of the Marine Service to instruct
the commanding officers of such revenue
vessels as are available for patrol duty in
the Bering Sea to report to the Secretary
of the Navy for such duty as he may assign
them. The three vessels which will be
ordered north are the COrwiD, Rush and

pairs. The Bear is expected 20 be ready

Mayor Ellert will be asked to give the

There we're few new features in the In

Information also reached the railroad
officials that the second brigade of the

thorities at Reno, had been deserted by its
leader. Major General Hubert and his
lieutenant went from Reno to Wadsworth

railroad officials for the transportation of

of doing this, however, they purchased
tickets for themselves back to Sacramento.

LION AND UNICORN
Kabba Regas Beaten by
the British.
ONE MORE KING FALLEN.
He Was the Friend of Arab
Slave-Dealers.
THEY SUPPLIED HIM WITH ARMS
And In Return He Protected Them
in Their Traffic in Human
Beings.

LONDON, April 11.-Advices received
from Uganda. under date of September 2,
say that the British E st Africa Company's
forces met those of Kabba Regas. the most
pow werful chief of the district, and defeated
them. The fight lasted three hours. after
which the enemy fled, leaving fifty dead
upon the field.
The British forces in Uganda recently
declared war against Kabba Regas, King
of Unicorn. King Kabba Regas was con-
sidered vassal of King Mwanga of
Uganda, but he refused to acknowledge
this or pay tribute.
The power OF King Regas at one time
was great, but his tyranny and cruelty has
weakened his hold on the natives.
He is a notable siave-dealer. His native
bands, eq quipped with firearms obtained
from the Arabs, have devastated vast
tracts OF country. driving the peaceful
people into the mountains and forests and
killing and making slaves of them.
As Kabba kegas is said to have many
nations in slavery a march into his terri
tory on the part Of the British forces would
near future. the plea being apparently
that Kabba Regas' capital is place where
the Arab slavers find an asylum and head
quarters.
Thus it is apparently safe to presume
that the kingdom of Unicorn, ruled by
Kabba Regas. will soon form part of the
territory of Uganda. over which the Brit
ish Government is assuming protec-
torate.
