Deed for Thirty-two Distilleries.

MILWAUKEE, March pa quitclaim
deed to the largest amount of property
embraced in any deed filed in Milwau-
kee in recent years was put into the
hands of the register of deeds to-day.
The deed recorded covers, besides the
old Meiners' distillery in Wautotsa,
thirty-one other distilleries scattered
over the country from New York to Cal
ifornia. The deed was given at the d.
rection of the United States court for
the northern district of Illinois, by
which President Greenhut was ordered
to call special meeting for the purpose
of conveying the property to three re-
ceivers. The distilleries included are
the Bayview, of San Francisco; Pacific,
OF San Francisco, and International OF
Des Moines, Ia. Mr.. Fisher, of John
Meiners & Sons, stated that the deed
was given by the Distilling and Cattle
Feeding Company, on account of the
difficulties arising out of the charges
which have been brought. The trust
acquired possession of the distillery
from the Meiners' concern under highly
satisfactory arrangements to the Messrs.

Importine Japanese sailors.

SAN Francisco, March 29.-The Ship
owners Association is beginning to bring
a new element of disturbance into the
sailors strike. The boarding-masters
here have just about exhausted their
supply of non-union men. They are
making arrangements, it is said, to inn
port several hundred Japanese from the
North to take the place of the striking
sailors in the coastwise trade. Japan
ese can probably be secured for $25 a
month, while the union men are de-
manding $35. Though the strikers have
caused no serious trouble thus far, the
importation of any considerable number
of Japanese would undoubtedly stir up
the lawless element on the waterfront.

ANOTHER BANK FAILURE.
One of Cincinnati's Oldest Banks Forced
to suspend.

One of Cincinnati's Oldest Banks Forced
to suspend.
CINCINNATI, March 29,-The CONNER
cial bank to-day notified the clearing
house that it could not pay its days
ciearings. The Commercial is one Of
the oldest banks in the city. Later the
bank assigned to W. H. Campbell, who
was its cashier. Charles B. Foote is
president of the bank. Charles Camp
bell stated that the bank had but tenn
porarily suspended, and would be all
right in few days. There had been an
unusually heavy run on the bank to-
day, and it became absolutely necessary
to suspend business. He said further
that the bank had ample securities to
pay all depositors in time. 1t is re-
ported the assets of the bank will de-
velop badly. The bank has a paid-up
capital stock of 1928, 900 and surplus
of $4,000. Its average deposits are
$500, 600. 1t has 1900, 900 bills receiv-
able, but it is claimed that much OF this
paper is not good, The trouble is said
to have been precipitated by the bank
being compelled to make $4,000 OF bad
paper good yesterday. The directors are
Charles B. Foote, a relative of the late
Senator Pendleton; w. A. Peerrum, j.
B. Speaker, A. B. Ratterman and A. B.
Hall, who all tried to prevent the run.
The adverse report OF the clearinghouse
to-day precipitated the trouble. 1t is
the general opinion that the liabilities
will greatly exceed the available assets.

A Plumbers Strike Threatened.

Los ANGELES, March 28.-Trouble is
brewing between the master and jour-
neyman plumbers in this city. The
journeymen are now receiving 81 per
day for eight hours work. The masters
now announce that commencing April
the scale will be So per day for eight
hours. The union has announced that
abe cut will not be accepted, and has
given the masters until Saturday next
to rescind the order. If they fail to do
this, the men will strike, and it will re-
suit in calling out between $50 and 300
men. The masters say they cannot and
will not yield, and the union says it is
prepared for strike, and will fight the
cut to the bitter end.

PRICE OF MEAT ADVANCED.
Chops and Steaks Higher in Chicago
Than During the Worlds Fair.

Chops and Steaks Higher in Chicago
Than During the Worlds Fair.
CHICAGO, March 29.-The Post says:
Prices of all kinds of meat will be higher
this summer than they have been for
ten years past. Even the high prices
which were made by some dealers dur
ing the worlds fair period will be ex-
ceeded by the figures asked for roasts,
steaks and chops from now. on. 1t is
not probable that much relief will come
before the fall. Prices have already adj
vanced about 25 per cent, and an addi-
tional advance of about the same pro-
portion is almost certain. The cause of
Ghis is the short supply of cattle, fol-
lowed by the necessary increase in value
which forced dealers to raise prices to
consumers. All kinds of beef, from por-
terhouse to hash meats, are being sold
now from two to five cents more than a
month ago, and pork products of all
qualities, from pigs feet to headcheese,
are worth considerable more than they
could be bought for on the first of the
month. There is little likelihood that
a reaction will come, because the condi-
tions which enhanced values will moi
change for several months.

A CONFESSED BRlBER.
The Ex-Policeman Made n Clean Breas
of 1t.

,rhe Ex-Policeman Made a Clean Breast
SAN Francisco, March 27.-William
J. Hurley, the ex-policeman who is
charged with attempting to bride q
member of the jury which recently tried
"Dick" Mcdonald, the bank-wrecker,
created a scene when the trial began in
the superior court this morning. Hur-
lev denounced Judge Wallace for refus-
ing to grant him a continuance, and his
own lawyers, whom he charged with be-
ing against him, and who had, he al
legged, attempted to extort confession
OF guilt from him. For several days
Hurley has been feigning insanity.
Last week jury of doctors declared he
was only shamming insanity. After a
jury had been secured and the trial oil
the case actually begun, Hurley created
genuine sensation. Against the adj
vice of counsel he went on the witness
stand and made clean breast OF his
connection with the attempt to bride
jurors. He implicated Deputy Sheriff
Rock, who was under suspicion at the
time OF Hurley's arrest, and also Harry
Piper, chief deputy county clerk. Hur.
ley swore that II. r. Mcdonald had of.
fered him $500 for each juror that he
could induce to vote for acquittal. He
then went to Deputy Sheriff Rock, he
said, and they agreed to manage the jot
together, Rock agreeing to summon the
men to be named by Hurley. Hurley
declared that Livernash, McDonald's at.
torney, had told the whole truth about
the matter, but, despite Livernash's as.
sertion to the contrary, he insisted thai
Mcdonald had promised him $500 fol
each juror. A juror asked Hurley
whether he had ever been in the Jury.
bribing business before. Hurley, it will
be remembered, was the one Juror who
stood out for acquittal on the trial o
Actor Curtis for the murder of Police
man Grant. His reply to the query
was:
Never in my life. People thought
was because l stood for acquittal in tn,
Curtis case, but that was all wrong
Harry Piper offered me 5000 for hold
ing out, but l never received cent"
This ended Hurley's testimony.

The Ceremontsp Atts1osng tine Visis -
the Emperor to the Great Ex- Chan
cellor, Though MARRIED by showers.of
Rain. Were Brilliant and Imposing.
FREIDR1cHsRuH, March 2S.--Emperor
William, at the head of detachment OF
cavalry and infantry with flags flying
and bands playing, paid his respects to-
day to Prince Bismarck, presented him
with a sword OF honor in behalf OF the
army, and congratulated him upon the
SOth anniversary of his birth. His
majesty was accompanied by the crown
prince, Frederick William, General
Bonsart Won Schellendorf, the minister
of war, and the officers of his military
household.
The ceremonies attending the visit OF
the emperor to the great ex-chancellor,
though marred by showers of rain, were
brilliant and imposing. The crowds
roamed at will through the Saxon forest
and nearly 1000 persons gathered be-
hind low hedge on the railroad en-
bankment opposite the castle, while
others were grouped along the roadway
to Aumehile, village not far from
Friedrichsruh. He wore the uniform OF
a guards du corps. At Aumehile he left
the train, mounted horse, and, &C.
companied by his suite, rode quickly to
the spot selected for the assembling of
the troops detailed to do honor to Prince
Bismarck. In the meanwhile the inn
perial train, with the crown prince, pro-
ceeded to Friedrichsruh. Soon after the
latter's arrival there music in the dis
lance announced the approach OF the
cavalry headed by his majesty.
There were drawn up, ready for his
inspection, a squadron of Haberstadt
cuirassiers, of which regiment Prince

| With the emperor at its head this force
marched to an open space in Prince Bis
marck's park, and upon arrival there
the troops were deployed in parade or
der. The approach of his majesty was
the signal for storm of ''hochs," which
were repeated on all sides with great
enthusiasm. The crown prince and his
suite, including General Won Waldersee,
had in the meantime walked to the par

"a. Wash., March 2S.-Govern-
f1w has completed the arduous
81 81 improving or disappearing the
measures passed by the last legislature
The following bills were approved:
Senate bills No. 2S9, amending the act
Tor appraising and disposing of tide and
shore lands; No. 155, making approprl-
atoms for sundry deficiencies of various
No. 961, providing for the
management and disposition OF state
lands; house bill No. 1913, making an
appropriation for the erection OF puild-
ings tor the state university.
The governor has disapproved mouse
bill No. 656, relating to justices OF tne
peace and constables in cities OF over
5000 inhabitants. The governor says:
"Should this bill become law, IN
eyery case, whether civil or criminal.
before a Justice of the peace in cities OF
the first class change of venue would
of necessity send the parties litigant TO
the Justice of the peace in the nearest
country precinct, thereby greatly in
creasing the cost of litigation to the par
ties, as we'll as to the taxpayers. The
courts of the justices of the peace have
been aptly styled poor mans courts,
and to subject poor litigants to increased
cost and the inconvenience of country
precincts for trial would be to deprive
them of rights which are sacred. More
over, am convinced that in fairly busy
times one justice of the peace would bt
able to transact the business that wouic
arise in any of our cities OF the hrs
class"
In his veto of house bill No. 504, t.
provide Huntley's code to justices OF tn
peace, the governor says it is to be pre-
sumed that, the majority of the justice
are already supplied with codes, and tn
present act would simply result in fur
nishing each justice with an extra cop
free. The proposed law in no way pro
vides that the copies supplied shall be
long to the offices and not to the officers
The measure would have been NOR
worthy of consideration had it declares
that the codes should be furnished t
offices not already supplied, but it !
neither wise nor economical to suppl

VANCOUVER, B. c., March 2S.-Van-

Lexow investigation of it's police force.
Last night Sergeant Haywood was sus-
pended from duty, and it is said that
several serious charges will be made
against him. The police committee has
direct proof that for some years past all
fuel used by him has been taken from
the city's supply and carried to his
house by prisoners. He also had his
house connected with the electric light
system at the police station, and never
paid cent for light, the same being
charged to the city. These are the two
specific charges on which he is suspend
ed, but it is understood that others of a
graver nature will be brought forward
soon. The conduct of certain other Of
ficers will also probably be investigated.

A SUBMARINE BOAT.
Contract Signed for Construction of One
for the Navy.


for the Navy.
WASHINGTON, March ga contract
was signed to-day by Secretary Herbert
with the John P. Holland Torpedo Boat
Company, for the construction of sub
marine boat for the use of the navy.
The contract which may mark a radical
departure in naval construction, was
signed only after a thorough considera-
ton, extending over a period of nearly
two weeks, on the subject of submarine
boats, and after various plans for such
craft had been examined. The appro-
priation for submarine torpedo boat
was made over two years ago. The d.
mansions of the vessel contracted for are
to be:
Length, 80 feet; diameter, II feet {;
displacement, total, when submerged,
1917 tons.
Ali parts of the vessel and the steel to
be used in her construction are to be OF
domestic manufacture. She is to be
completed within twelve months from
date, under time penalties. The con-
tract calls for speed of fifteen knots
when the boat is in light condition.
The secretary may refuse to accept the
boat, if it falls half knot an hour be-
low the speed named or accept her at a
reduced price. The price to be paid for
the boat is fixed at $4,000. 1t is ex-
pressly stipulated that the United States
shall have the optional right to acquire
the patent right for the Holland type
of boat, the price to be paid for the rights
to be determined by board of three
naval officers, the option to run until
thirty days after the first session of con-
gress succeeding acceptance of the ves-
sci. This provision is to give an OPP
portunity to enact legislation for the &C.
QUESTION of the patent if desired.

port Is also asked as to what methods

Canadian poacher, not content with the
destruction of seals, is playing havoc in
the wilds of Alaska, where game birds
make nests in the summer and rear the
young. These eggs have been found
valuable in the manufacture of certain
articles, and are taken by thousands.
While poachers are at work they kill
everything that comes along. There
has been perceptible falling off in the
number OF game birds on the Pacific
coast, and an investigation of the causes
led to the discovery of this new form of
poaching. 1t is believed by Senator
Mitchell that an official report on what
the people OF the Pacific coast have dis
covered will lead to legislation to pre-
vent further poaching.
