Revenue Cutter commander Now on
Trial at San Francisco.

San Francisco, Jan. 10.-No marine
Investigation of recent years has arous-
ed so much interest in naval circles as
the one which opened at the naval yard
today, and in which NJ. A. Healey, un-
til November last in command of the
revenue cutter Bear, of the Bering sea
patrol fleet is the defendant. The
charges are numerous, the principal
ones being that of drunkenness and
conduct unbefitting an officer in the
revenue cutter service. There are al
together about % specifications, and
twice as many witnesses for the prose-
cution and the defense will be exam
med. The principal witnesses include
the subordinate officers of the cutter.
Captain Healey has been very popular
in naval circles, and his friends in the
service, who are legion, expect his vim
dication, although the case against him
is said to be strong. The detail of the
board is as follows: Captain D. b,
Hodgson, of the revenue cutter Fessen-
den, at Detroit, president; Captain L.
N. Stodder, supervisor of anchorages at
New York Captain w. G. Coulson, as
sistant inspector of life saving station,

WHITE METAL IN EUROPE
Wolcott Says All intelligent Land
Owners Favor Free Coinage.
BANKERS ONLY ARE OPPOSED
While Bimetallists Are at Work the
Pros pect for Relief Is Not
Favorable.

Washington, Jan. 9.-Senator VOL
cott of Colorado, who recently returned
from Europe, gave his views today on
the silver and foreign affairs discus
sion. He said:
An international committee of the
European bimetallic leagues, includ-
ing MIR. Altgeld, Belgian delegate to
the Brussels conference. and the lead
ing blmetallistS from England Aus
tralla, Germany and France, held an
important conference recently in Paris
ana IL had several interviews with it's
members. We have little idea in this
country of the unselfish and important
effects throughout England and the
continent in favor of recognition of sill
yer. There is hardly an intelligent
land owner in Europe who Is not a BIZ
metallist
There were two important results
OF the meeting at Paris. A plan for an
Identical resolution of the Importance
OF an international agreement to be
introduced in the English parliament,
the French assembly and the German
reichstag was agreed upon. Another
important result was the establishment
or cordial and closer relations between
the bimetallist associations of differ
ent countries of Europe, notably be-
tween France and Germany. And the
reception accorded the committee by
the French republic was. from a fine
point of view, important and significant.
The statesmen of France and the man
ager of the Bank of France are bimetal-
lists and the republic favors bimetal-
ism. The Paris newspapers, with one
or two exceptions, are controlled by
private moneyed interests, and are
great monometallists.
While bimetallsts abroad are at
work, it must nevertheless be admitted
that the prospect of any action is not
favorable. In Germany, where there
has been much hope, the banking ele-
ment aroused by the possibility of ac-
ton by the reichstag, is expending
much effort in favor of the single gold
standard and it's influence is naturally
widely felt. Whoever invites this coun-
| try to await European agreement be-
! fore opening up our mints in silver,
offers no hope of definite relief

% OPEN THE YAKIMA RESERVATION
don. ;. Hyde Using Every Influence
With the Interior department.

Washington, Jan. 0.-Representative
Hyde Is hard at work trying to secure
the opening of the Yakima Indian res
erVation at the earliest possible mo-
ment.
This reservation embraces S87, ,040
acres, and lies nearly in the center
of Yakima county. The lands along
the river are level plains and rise gent
ly to the mountains, 25 miles distant
About 2O00 acres of these lower lands,
having the finest of crop soils. are now
desert and covered with sagebrush
but can readily be put under irrigation
bitches at moderate cost, when 10,-
900 families could make prosperous
homes thereon. The Indians on the
reservation number about 1900. and
have all accepted their allotment of
lands in severalty from the govern
ment. They have made considera BILE
progress in civilization, are now farm
ing about $4,000 acres OF sub-irrigated
land, are virtually self-supporting and
are said to be good neighbors to the
whites If their surplus lands We're pur-
chased the unoccupied sagebrush lands
now of no use whatever to the In
dians, would, by irrigation, be speedily
turned into fruitful orchards and gar
dens.
Representative Hyde is in receipt of
strong petition for opening the res
ervation from the Yakima Commercial
Club. which embraces among it's mem
bers over a hundred of the leading
citizens and largest property holders
of that county. This petition sets forth
that there is perhaps no other body of
land of the same dimensions in the
United States which will give perma-
nent prosperity to an equal number of
intelligent agriculturalists, and at the
same time without working any injury
to the Indians On the contrary, 1t is
set forth that the Indians will be en-
abled with the proceeds of the sale of
their surplus lands. to build comforta-
BILE homes and develop their own farms
while the bunchgrass hilltops and for
est covered mountain sides will remain
the grazing ranges for their flocks and
herds"
The Commercial Club believes that
the wisest plan would be for congress
to enact legislation that will permit
the general government to purchase the
desert sagebrush lands of the Indians.
and then offer them for sale to settlers
IN small tracts. In this manner the
government would be reimbursed for
the purchase money, the lands would
be reclaimed and thousands of indus
| trious inhabitants would be added to
| the population of this beautiful val
| ley"

NO VALID OBJECTIONS TO Mr.. FoRL
New Pullman Postmaster VIII Probahi,
BE Confirmed bv the Senate.

Washington, Jan. 10.-A queer paper
is filed in the postoffice department with
the Pullman postoffice bundle, which
may or may not have had something to
do with the appointment of George w
Ford and the defeat of A. B. Baker. 1t
is an Endorsement by ''2S republicans Of
the city of Pullman. indorsing George
w. Ford as a Simon pure democrat, as
against A. b. Baker democrat for rev.
enue only" 1t is not usual for republi-
cans to mingle i'm democratic fights, but
in this particular case, a great many of
them did so, quite a number of them
writing to the different members of the
Washington delegation, and urging
them to use their influence in favor of
one or the other of the candidates.
Even now, it is said that the delay in
confirmation is due to the pressure
which has been brought to bear upon
Senator Wilson to defeat the same. Mr.
Ford, however, will have strong ad-
vocate in the senate in the person of
Voorhees, whose son, Charles s. Voor-
hees of Spokane, is interested in Mr.
Ford's appointment and who came here
just at this time in order to help Sc
cure it.
Hon. Hugh Wallace states that he
made "A thorough examination of all
the papers in the Pullman case and

generalities and without sufficient foun-
dation in fact. He states that he does

Chicago, Jan. 10.--A special to the

The report that the British are

true. l have myself received today pri-

ing it,"
So said Congressman Livingston of
Georgia this afternoon. He added: II

Vate. You can, however. rely on it. l
called on the Venezuelan minister this
morning and asked him to use his infiu-
ence with Crespo TO keep back the Ven
eZuelan troops. Should they advance
ii would precipitate a conflict at once.
That would render our Venezuelan com
mission useless. We would be com
PEELED to back up Venezuela and we
