New YORK, Feb. 2S.-The World this

The American ship left Bluefelds for

British man-of-war followed her there

PORTLAND RECEIVERsH1P CASE.
Creditors of Prayer Bros. Desire the
Sheriff to Remain In Charge.

Creditors of Prayer Bros. Desire the
Sheriff to Remain In Charge.
PORTLAND, Or, Feb. 27.-Judge Stearns
rendered decision this afternoon on the
receivership controversy of Prayer Bros,
who failed recently. F. K. Arnold was
appointed receiver to take charge of the
defunct houses affairs, but creditors OBJ
jected. Inasmuch as the receiver did not
justify for his position by filing bond
preparatory to taking charge nothing fur
ther was done, and the question was left
as it was until arguments were submitted
by the dozen or SO attorneys who repre-
sent various interests.
1t appears that creditors representing
claims aggregating about $4,000 are de-
sirous of the Sheriff remaining in charge
of the Prayer affairs, while those whose
claims amount to about $4,000 want re-
ceiver. The majority of the creditors
moved for dismissal of the receiver.
Judge Stearns denied the motion to set
aside the order appointing Receiver Ar
mold, and also enioined the Sheriff from
proceeding to dispose of the property to
satisfy the judgment creditors.
The matter is to come up again, when
the amount of the security bonds will be
adjusted.
