Wreck With Life Boats Gone.
Boston, Sept. 14-The fruit steamer
Adria, from Port Antonio, Jamaica, a rived
yesterday y, three days overdue. The aptain
reports that at p. m, Septem Der 3, was
passed by steamer Ethelred, from Port
Antonio to Boston. The officers of the
Adria fear that the Ethelred has either
broken down or foundered at sea, as she
can ordinarily steam much faster than
the Adria.
At $50 p. M, September 8, when in
latitude 80 :36 north, longitude O:23
west, the Adria sighted wreck with the
after portion aflame and with only the
foremast and yards standing The wreck
was apparently that Of full-rigged ship
about 1000 tons measurement.
The Adria steamed around Iier twice
and blew her whistle, but discerned no
sign of life on board. The burning wreck
had her davits all secure but her life
boats were gone. The Adria encountered
heavy head seas from September until
September IL, and this accounts for her
long passage.

true.
THE thousands have d windled now prob
ably, to Il few hundred, who can still get

to lie on hand to work their claims in the
spring 1t is quite true that the region has
proved the reverse of profitable to all but

been located last year.

CovETs BIG HORN HOT SPRINGS
Wyoming Desires the Government {
to Buy From Indians.

Washington. April Am effort is be-
ing made by Representative Mandell Of
Wyoming to have the Big Horn hot
springs on the Shoshone Indian reserva-
tion in Fremont county, Wyoming pur-
chased by the government and held as
a public reservation as the hot springs
of Arkansas are. Indian Inspector Me
Laughlin has been sent by the interior
department to negotiate with the In
dians for cession of the springs and "A
tract of 10 miles square surrounding
them. 1t is not proposed to pay all the
purchase money by one appropra ton.
but to place most of it to the credit of
the Indians, to be paid from the treas
ury in installments.
The Big Horn springs are said to pos
sess remarkable medicinal qualities and
are scientifically called sulphur saline
springs. They are near the Big Horn
river with snow-capped mountains on
either side, and empty into the river in
picturesque cascades. 1t is the govern
ment's policy, Mr.. Mandell says. to
gradually reduce the Indian reserva-
tions. as the land is not needed by the
Indians. and 1t is believed that the
springs can be acquired now more
cheaply than when they have become
better known. He is confident that the
springs would become a resort and be
source of revenue to the government
from rentals if they We're managed as
the Arkansas hot springs have been.

Decision Which Saves Latah County
Attorneys Fee.

Boise, April 4.-The supreme court
decided the case of Il. NJ Conger VS..
the Latah commissioners, Judge Piper
being reversed. The members of the
board had individually asked w. H.
Clagett to assist the prosecution in the
Williams embezzlement case and he
was given a warrant for $3.50 for his
services. Conger appealed from the ac-
tion of the board and Judge Piper sus-
tanned the latter. The supreme court
holds that i'm such a case the commits
sioners must act as a body, their action
being made a matter of record. The
issuance of the warrant was therefore
illegal.
In the case of John Jacksha vs.. A. F..
Gilbert ct al, from Latah county. Judge
Piper's action in granting new trial
was sustained.
The decision of the lower court was
sustained i'm the case of John DaVelin
VS.. the Post Falls Woolen Mills Com
pany. In this case the district court
dismissed the defendants appeal from
the probate court. The plaintiff eX-
cepted to the sufficiency of the appeal
bond and new sureties, they not having
qualified within the statutory time The
supreme court holds that when notice
of such is served, the sureties or new
ones must appear within five days

FISH HATCHERY ON THE METHow
senator suuire's Bill Names the Lo-
cation.

Washington, April 5.-Senator Squire's
bill granting 100 acres of government land
to the state of Washington for fish
hatchery locates the same accurately at
a point on the Methow river. in Okanogan
county, and embraces land equal to an
entire section 1t Is more particularly de-
scribed in the bill as what Will be known
when surveyed as the southwest qearter
of section 26, the southeast quarter of sec
tlon q, and the north half of section 80,
township 81 north. range % east The
grant is asked for the purpose of enabling
the state to establish and maintain at that
point hatchery by means of which to
supply the Columbia river and its trihuta- -
res with salmon and other fish. The bill
carries two provisions First. that IL the
state ceases to use the land for such pur-
poses 1t shall revert to the United States;
and second, that nothing in this act
shall have the effect of impairing the
rights of any persons on any portion of
this land already acuired by them under
any law of the United States. Senator
Wilson, of the committee on public lands
has had the bill reported favorably. and
the records of the general land Office hav-
ing been examined. IL is found that the
lands to be granted are yet unsurveyed
and also free from any adverse claim
appearing of record.

ter a three days session. The Idaho

ed at once for the work that it is pro-
posed to do. The plan of the associa-
ton is set forth by the report of the
committee on permanent organization,
which was adopted, and is in part as
follows:
That this convention is merged into
a permanent organization to be known
as the Idaho immigration Associatio
and that each county be entitled to "A
representation of two members in the
permanent organization, one of whom
shall be vice president
That the officers of the association
consist of a president, a vice president

Governor Mcconnell to promote immi-
grafton, favoring necessary legislation
by the state to promote immigra ton
favoring free coinage of silver and de-
ploring the unjust reflections made up
IN the west by President Cleveland.
An unfortunate incident occurred IN
connection with the representative from
the state of Washington, |. A Nadeau
1t is claimed that his name was not
read in the report of the committee on
credentials, though it appears on the
draft of the report. When he failed to
hear his name read as one of those en-
titled to participate, he wrote polite
note to Governor Mcconnell calling his
attention to the fact and then left the
convention. The slight was unintention-
al, and the convention adopted a reso-
! luton as follows regarding the matter;
| Resolved, That we deeply regret the
untimely departure of l. A. Nadeau
| the duly accredited delegate from the
| state of Washington, growing out of a
| misrepresentation on his part of the ac-
| ton of the committee on credentials
| and that we express our disappoint-
| ment at being denied the pleasure of lis
| tening to his valuable paper on the re-
| sources and advantages of the grand
| state of Washington"
