Judge Herritt

PORTLAND, Ore., June 30.-The Am
erican Loan and Trust company will not
accept the terms imposed by the decision
OF Judge Merritt in the Oregon Northern
leceivership case. but will oegin foreclos-
ure proceedings.
Ex-senator Dolph, counsel for the jun
i3r mortgage bondholders OF the Oregon
Short Line and Utah Northern. was seen
this evening .and when asked if it were
true that the effort for separate receiver
ship for the Oregon Short Line and Utah
Northern has been abandoned. he said:
"The effect of Judge Merritts decision
was such as to stop all further proceed
ings by the American Loan and Trust
pursuing. The Utah court has simply i'm
posed conditions with which the SECOND
mortgage cannot afford to comply and it
had decided upon the better policy of
foreclosing. The American Loan and
Trust company could not raise the inter-
est due on the prior mortgage and take
the road il it was to be controlled in any
degree by the Union Pacific.
"Tbe American Loan and Trust COM
pany will now proceed to foreclose its
mortgage Immediately. The Oregon case
in the United States circuit court for Or
egon has been set for the bill and the an
swer. and we have given notice of an ap-
plicution to the court next Wednesday to
fix day for the hearing.
THE American Loan and Trust COM
pany will sell the road and the foreclosure
under the junior mortgage. This will
mean that the prior mortgage will be
paid off and general reorganization OF

Reports From Cooks Inlet Region by

Some Extensive Deposits and Placer Mines of
Fabulous Richness-Tales Of
Storms and Wrecks

SEATTLE, June 30.-The steamer Che.
halls is in port from Cooks inlet and
brings glowing accounts of the mining
prospect in that section. She also brought
news of terrible storm which began May
2lst and lasted several days. The wind
was blowing gale when the Chehalis
reached Kayak, where she found the
schooners Ellida of Tacoma, Marery OF
Seattle and Olga and Adventurer safe at
anchor. From the captain OF the Ellida
it was learned that the United States cut
ter Rush had seized the English schooner
Saliva and had gone in search of the Helen,
which was supposed to have been lost
in the storm.
At Coral bay, the miners of the San
Francisco schooner Amethyst, with their
steam launch and scow we're found, all
the coal can be seen sticking out of the
bluffs in seams varying from two to five
feet in thickness. AT low tide vein fivo
feet thick is exposed and great blocks can
be knocked off with a crow bar and it is
of fine quality.
A man named Wheelock who is working
the Ruby sand placers sent $500 worth
of gold dust to Juneau. He had been at
the mines about two months. Another
man sent 500.
Near the. head of the inlet the schooner
Elwood of Seattle was sighted, high and
dry on the tide land three miles from the
channel.
The barkentine Marin from San Fran
cisco was at Coal bay when the Chehalis
passed on her return trip.

Prospects for q Lively Gathering al

The Free Coinage Men Will Try to Denounce
Cleveland and Carlisle and Their
Views on Sound Money

DENVER. Colo, June 30.-The indica-
tions are that the mass Democratic state
convention to be held in this city Tues
day, July I'd. will be pretty lively gath
ering. The suggestion for this conven-
ton came from the Denver central COM
mittee. of which ex-Aldermnn James 6.
McGilvray is chairman. The argument
was put forth that the Democracy was in
hopeless minority and that there was
not a shadow OF a show to win as long as
the party was bound to Cleveland. 1t
was thought that by discussing the mat
ter some understanding might be arrived
vt and some declaration made that would
give the Democracy "a fighting show in
some parts of the state at least. Some
STORMY sessions of the state central com.
mittee were held before the cali fol the
convention was issued. Chairman Ar
buckle, who holds the position of receiver
of the United States land office. attempt
ed in vain to stem the tide of sentiment
in favor Of holding convention. Other
old-time politicians experienced in party
affairs, represented that it would be the
height Of folly to allow the rank and file
to get chance to express their opinion
tion. All was to no purpose, however.
the younger men of the party and the
committee being of the ;opinion that the
party was in a hopeless minority as long
as Cleveland and Carlisle's tinancial:policy
was apparently endorsed by silence.
Under this pressure the call was issued.
and it is said that there will be goodly
representation from every part OF the
state.
There is little question but that resolu-
tons denouncing the sound money
views of Cleveland and Carlisle will be
introduced in the convention. They will
be enuorsed by the older members of the
party, who comprise many office holders.
and an attempt will be made to have a
tame resolution straidliny the question
adopted as the sense of the convention.
