Filing of a Petition to Forecl0se the
Property OF the Organization.
CHICAGO. Ill. May 1S.--The famous
81 600, 900 bond issue of the whisky trust
received another airing in the United States
court to-day, when Judge Showalter
granted the receiver permission to buy the
$4,000 held by ex-Director Freiberg of
Cincinnati, the purchase to be at so cents
on the dollar.
Numerous bills have been filed by the
reorganization committee of the trust,
claiming that ex-President Greenhut and
Nelson Morris had sold the issue to them
selves and their friends at so cents, and
Freiberg had offered to sell the $4,000 he
had purchased at the price he paid. The
reorganization committee to-day asked
permission to authorize the purchase by
Receiver McNulta, and after lengthy argu-
ments the request was granted.
Attorney Edwin Walker, representing
ex-Director Nelson Morris, then filed the
petition of the Central Trust Company of
New York, trustee under the 81, ,0OO, 600
bond issue, to foreclose the property of the
trust.

ton of the Western Federation of Miners,
which has been in session since last Mon
day in the Trades Assembly Hail. Will fin
ish its deliberations tomorrow.
The most i'm portant matters before the
convention to-day was the election of

beforehand that Butte City, Mont. would
retain the headquarters of the federation,
and the only question was who should be
the men selected to carry the banner of the
federation for the next year.

suing year, SO far as they have been
elected, are: President, Samuel NJ, Rob-,
erts of Butte; first yice-president. James

Nature Cries for Help
Farm, Field and Flower are Bring
ing Blade, Bud and Blossom
All Need Good Spring Medcne-Take Hoods sarsapariua
n the Great Blood Purifier :.

It is remarkable at this season
when Nature everywhere is taking on
renewed forms of life, that men and
women should be especially afflicted
with depressed spirits, weakness,
WEAKNESS and nervousness.
But this condition is Natures cry
for help, and unless this help is given
serious consequences may be the re-
suit before the end of the season. The
blood is failing to carry to the nerves
and organs the nourishment which
they require. 1t must be purified,
vitalized and given power to build
up and strengthen the system.
Hoods Sarsaparilla was especially
prepared to meet this condition and
respond to this cry for help. 1t makes
rich, healthy blood, and by doing this
it gives strength and vigor to the
nerves and muscles and regulates and
tones all the organs of the body.

TO RETURN IN OCTOBER.
Development of the Fish Food
Industry the Object of
the Cruise.
INNOVATION FOR THE TARs.
To-Day Religious Services VIII for
the First Time Be Held ON
the Olympia.

VALLEJO, CAL, May 1S.-The Fish
Commission steamer Albatross, Captain
Drake, left Mare Island for Sausalito this
morning. It will remain until Monday
and then go direct to Puget Sound. Ad
ditional Fish Commissioners will join the
vessel there. After coaling it will proceed
to Alaska.
While in Alaskan waters the Albatros:
will engage in service under the juris
diction of the Fish Commissioners. She
will develop the cod-fshing industries a:
well as all matters pertaining to the de-
vclopment of the fish food products of this
as yet comparatively unknown region
The Fish Commission officials who will
60 out on the Albatross are Professor
Charles H. Townsend, Major A. B. Alex
ander and r. B. Miller. Major Alexander
will leave the East shortly to Join the
Albatross at Puget Sound. The other
officials are already on board. The vessel
is expected to return about October 1.
The report that Lieutenant Carter would
not go out as executive officer of the vessel
on this trip proves correct. He was de-
tached and ordered to the Independence.
Lieutenant B. o. Scott, late ordnance of
ficer of the Bennington, fills the position
of executive officer. The same official
formerly served on a cruise of the Alba
tross, and his return to the vessel appeared
to meet with general satisfaction.
Ensigns Leigh and Hughes were also or
dered to the vessel and went out as watch
officers. Engineer Thesis, who was dis
charged from the Marine Hospital a few
days ago, filled the position of chief engi-
neer. Thesis, it will be remem bered, is the
man who was so badly scalded on the
Monterey about month ago, when one of
the pipes broke and flooded the engine
room. The bravery shown by Thesis does
not appear to have been forgotten. He de-
served the consideration shown at the
hands of the Navy Department officials.
AS the Albatross slowly passed down the
bay it was saluted by all of the vessels in
the stream.
Tomorrow at 2 o'clock services of pc
culiar interest will be held on board the
Olympia. 1t will be the first religious
meeting on the cruiser. Through the
courtesy of Captain Read it has been ar
ranged to carry out an extensive pro-
gramme. Chaplain A. A. McAlhster will
preside, and with Chaplain Thompson of
the Independence convey the greetings OF
the navy chaplains to the ships company,
and Rev. T. F. Burnham, superintendent
of the Naval Union, will present the salu-
tations of the Christian people of Vallejo.
The check for $3.50, kindly donated by
the Union Iron Works for the benefit of
the Naval Union, arrived to-day and was
presented to Superintendent Burnham by
Captain A. S. Barker of Mare Island. The
gift of the. Union Iron Works is highly ap-
preciated. The money will be used in
erecting new building, plans and specifi-
cations of which will be shortly asked for.

NEW YORK, n. Y, May 18.-Father
Ducey, pastor of st. Leo's, whose troubles
with Archbishop Corrigan have been fre-
quently before the public, was the princi-
pal orator at a celebration tonight by the
Bakers International Union of the pas
sage OF State law to make bakeries sani-
tary and to make bakers work ten hours
day. Speaking to the workmen Father
Ducey said:
You have accomplished great work in
favor OF all labor by having placed on the
statute-books a humane law. Now you
must insist on its enforcement. Do it by
hanging together. Fight at the polls
against every corrupt organization that
prostitutes all that is best in the laboring
masses in favor of capitalists and trusts.
For more than twenty years corrupt money
has influenced elections and ground honest
Worklngmen into the ground.
9ou can damn the President of the
United States. If you are Republican
you can damn Cleveland, and if you are a
Democrat you can damn Harrison, and be
all right; but if you damn railroad
president you are an anarchist.
"You will be called a socialist, disor-
derly, dangerous person if you speak
against ca pitalist. These men can steal
inside the limit of the law, but if you kick
you are guilty of crime because you fight
for your homes. Do you tumble to that?
Ministers must take hand now and inter-
fere, as the men whom Christ died for are
having their lives crushed out of them"

THE DIVIDE INCREASED.
Lawyer McDougal Argues in
Vain to Support the
Committee.
RESTRICTIONS TO BE REMOVED
Plans May Be Sprung at the Meeting
to Depose the Noted DR..
Briggs.

PITTSBURG, Pa, May 18.-Assembly
control of the seminaries has possession of
the Presbyterian General Assembly, even
if the assembly has not possession of the
seminaries, which it desires. At the close
OF the morning session an adjournment
was taken until Monday morning, and the
debate on the proposed plan of gathering
in the seminaries into close and guarded
fold will be resumed. The net result thus
far attained has been to divide the assem-
bly, into two clearly marked parties. and it
is judged tina. the line of cleavage is near
the numerical center of the body. It
seems probable the vote of four to one that
was recorded last year will be wiped out in
large part, and the disproportion greatly
reduced.
The committee which is urging the
adoption OF the plan providing for closer
relations between the assembly and the
seminaries saw itself compelled by the
strength of the opposition which has de-
veloped to import Thomas McDougal of
Cincinnati, a member of the committee, 70
present the legal side of the case. This he
did in speech of an hour and-a quarter,
but he labored under heavy handicap on
account of the pamphlet which he recently
published attacking the integrity and
faithfulness of the boards of home and
foreign missions in New York for using
funds given for missionary purposes in the
erection of large building on Fifth
avenue. The peroration of his speech was
devoted to reviewing prejudices created by
his pamphlet, and the degree of his sue
cess will only be shown by the final vote.
There is plan on foot to secure the
adoption of an alternative report replacing
that of the committee. It is proposed to
recommend that in view of the answers
made by the directors of the existing SEM
inaries setting forth their unwillingness to
make any charter changes, these semina-
ries be let alone and that the restrictions
that have been devised by the committee
be applied only to institutions that may be
hereafter chartered. This plan will have
strong backing and will meet with good
support. One of the strong objections to
the plan of the committee on seminary
control is that which involves recourse to
the civil courts of the settlement of ecclesi-
iastical differences.
Thus far nothing has been heard of the
plans of the deposing of DR.. Briggs, which
were said to be under serious considera-
tion.
But the assembly is young yet and those
who were active in the condemnation two
years ago are now absent from the scene
1t may be these plans are now simply in
abeyance to be sprung upon the assembly
at later date.

SENSATIONAL CROSS BILL,
Gross Fraud Charged in Con-
neCtion With a Bond
Issue.
Promoters of Corporation Accused
Of a Very Clever Manipu-
iation.

| CHICAGO, ILL, May 1S.-A sensational
cross bill to the bill to foreclose the prop
erty of the Columbia Straw Paper Com
representing number of owners of thirty
nine paper-mills comprising the concern.
The bill charges fraud in connection
with 81 600, 900 bond issue of the company
for which the Northern Trust Company Is
trustee.
1t charges that the promoters of the
combine never paid any money into the
pool; that they received options on the
property of the company without consid-
Grafton; that the options were given to
one of the promoters without cons1dera-
ton, and were in turn sold by him to the
other promoters.
The document declares that the owners
OF the various plants were paid largely in
stock, and that 100000 worth of stock
was divided among the promoters. It is
also charged that the $1,000,000 bonds were
sold by the promoters to themselves. The
bill asks that the promoters be compelled
to pay for the So, ,000,0 900 stock held by them,
it being. asserted that such action would
place the company in comfortable fnan-
cial position 1t is alleged that the effort
to foreclose is a scheme to defraud the
former owners of the property and leave
the profits to the promoters.
The defendants named are: W. Stein,
Chicago; E. G. Clark, P. D. Beard, Ster-
ling, H.; T. T. Ramsden, Buffalo; r. s..
and Max Untermeyer, New York; B. NJ.

Shipments Are Light, bat Prices Continue
10 RMLe Firm.
ASTORIA, Or, May 1S.-The Astorian
weekly salmon report to-day said:
To-day ends another slack week. and
finds forward shipments still dull, with
very few movements. 1t is satisfactory to
note that, though only small number
of carloads have as yet left this point, they
have all been sold on terms that have
ruled for previous years. and at good
prices. There is every indication that
during the next few days stocks will break
loose, and as the jobbers recede from their
untenable position in the matter of IL per
cent discount, the carload movement will
become rapid until the business has
normal condition.
We quote as follows: Red Alaska in lots
of 25,0O0, 95 cents per dozen; lots of $4,000
cases, 92H cents per dozen; lots of rs, coo
cases, 80 cents per dozen. Columbia River
standard brands-Straight Chinooks, 81 35
to 81 371z for tails, and 81 so to 81 IS for
flats. Ovals run from 81 S21l to 81 S711z,
with the prospect of substantial increase
in these prices.
Up to the present time we find the big
gest sales of standard Columbia River
brands have been made in Boston, and
private advices tend to show an increased
demand from that center over last year.
The higher prices of meat in Minnesota
and the Northwest generally seem to have
had tendency to raise wholesalers prices
on choice grades of Columbia River, and
Minneapolis reports to us a growing ten
dency to take hold of futures.
English advices continue to show a firm
and steady market with big demands from
retailers generally. Foreign agents are
still very active here, and have not yet
concluded their contracts, which will be
heavier this year than for several seasons
past.
Our correspondents on the Fraser River
report prospects of a light run this year,
but with superior advantages for making
the most of it, they look fer a pack very
nearly as large as that of 1894.
On the Columbia River the fish remain
two or three weeks ahead of their natural
time and show all the characteristics of
June salmon. Weight increases and sew
erai 50-pound fish have appeared. Color
and quality remain most excellent and
finer salmon have never been caught in the
river.
About 1000 boats are out from the various
canneries, but only moderate proportion
of these report every day. Last weeks
storms were responsible for two deaths
among the fishermen and several minor
accidents, though compared with last years s
casualties this record is very small.

LA PATERA MINE HORROR,
Two GoIeta WOrkmen Badly
Burned by an Explosion
of Gas.
TomaSette, the Anti-GIass Maniac
Committed to an Insane
Asylum.

SANTA BARBARA, CAL. May 1s.-A
serious accident occurred to-day at the Den
asphaltum mine, operated by the Alcatraz
Asphaltum Company, and located at La
Patera. Two men, Edward Birch and
Charlie Ellis, were working at the bottom
OF 200-foot shaft, where an ore vein had
just been struck, when a pocket of gas,
ignited by candles in their hats, exploded.
Birch, who is man of go, was fearfully
burned from hips to neck, and his recovery
is doubtful. Ellis injuries are less severe,
and he will probably recover. Both men
are residents of Goleta and have wives and
families.
The Den mine has been worked for
nearly four years, $1,000 tons of asphalt
having been taken out during that time,
and this is the first accident of any kind
that has ever occurred there. Yesterday
afternoon Mr.. Bell, the superintendent,
and Mr.. Welty, the foreman, made thor
ough examination of the different shafts to
ascertain if there were any indications of
gas. No blame is attached to any one.

SEATTLE, WASH, May 1S.-R. II. Ford,
a burglar, escaped from the County Prison
to-day for the second time within six
weeks, but was recaptured late tonight.
Ford was convicted and sentenced to a
long term in the WalIa Walla Peniten-
tiary. The Sheriff was to have taken him
there this morning. About o'clock,
while Jailer Burkman was feeding the
prisoners in the steel cage of the Jail, Ford,
who was assisting him, fed out of the
door, which had been left open. 1t was
nearly midnight when Hugh Wright, who
was working in his basement, two blocks
from the Courthouse, saw mans leg be-
hind a showcase that leaned against the
wall. He believed it was Ford and sent
for the officers, who had no trouble in
effecting capture. When Ford arose
Jailer Burkman thought he had weapon
and struck him on the head, wounding
him. severely.
Ford was one of the men who escaped
from the Seattle Jail with Tom Blanck sew
-eral weeks ago. Blanck was killed and
all his companions recaptured.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, May 1s.-Lieutenant-
General John M. Schofeld, commander of
the United States army; Mrs. Schofeld
and Miss Kilbourne, her sister, and party
arrived in this city at 7:90 O'Clock this
morning. They were met by Maior-Gen-

of men who met General Schofeld on a
less friendly footing at Franklin, Tenn, in
the fall of 1864, and who took this occasion
to show their appreciation of their former
adversary.
At IL o'clock General Schofield received

CLIMBS LIKE A cat.
An Acr0batic Burglar Who Is annoying
Vattejo Residents.

VaUejo Residents.
VALLEJO, CAL, May 1s.-Residents of
Vallejo are On their guard against clever
rear-porch worker, who is operating in the
city. Charles Ahlm detected the thief last
night attempting to enter the residence of
Supervisor McCudden. On Wednesday
night the same person attempted to gain
entrance to the residence of M. G. Win
chell by rear window. Mrs. Winchell
was awakened, and when she gave the
alarm the fellow made himself scarce. On
Thursday night Samuel Browns house
was entered and considerable property
carried off. The effort to enter the Nc
Cudden residence would undoubtedly have
been successful had not Ahlm put in an
appearance.
The daring work OF the thief shows that
he has ability as climber. He scaled the
west side of the McCudden residence in
the rear like cat, and when discovered
was holding on to window-sill and in a
position to raise the rear window. When
detected he jumped ten feet to the ground.
Footprints in the yard and the manner in
which the work of elm bing was done
prove conclusively that the burglar was of
slim build, light of foot and wears rubber
overshoes.

CLEANUP OF THE SYNDICATE
supplying Gotd to Uncle Sam q ProJitd-
bic business.

NEW YORK, N. Y, May 1s.-A Wall
street news agency says: Evidences
point to cleaning-up process having been
begun by the bond syndicate. recent re-
turn to the members of 40 per cent of their
subscription money was the hrst step in
this direction. 1t is uncertain when the
balance will be returned, but some think
it will be in short time. Calling
from the syndicate men of extra gold is
another step in the same direction.
There is authority for the statement
that the progress of events in the desired
direction has been good deal faster than
the syndicate expected or even hoped
would be the case. The development of
foreign investment buying on large scale,
so noticeable last month, has practically
assured the country against any large de-
mand for gold for flood many months to
come. Most of the syndicates prepara-
tions were made against this danger.
