SEATTLE. WASH, April 1.-THE Great
Northern Nippon Yusen Kaisha's steam
ship Sakura Maru has cleared aud will
early tomorrow morning sail for the
Orient with a cargo Of about 1000 tons,
valued at $160500. Its manifest discioses
principally cotton, Iubricating oil, paper
mill machinery and -four, consigned to
the ports OF Rongkong, Kobe and Yoko-
hama.
The Sakura Maru left behind on the
wharves awaiting shipment nearly twice
as much cargo as it took. To greater or
less extent this has been the case since the
arrival in this port, about nine months
ago. of the Nippon Yusen Kaisha's maiden
ship, the Mike Maru. OF raw Gotten alone
there awaits the arrival of the next vessel,
the Tenshin Maru, over 1000 bales. For
the week ending with the clearance of the
Sakura the local custom-house receipts
amounted to $3.50.
Coming this way the Nippon Yusen
Kaisha's steamers have not been so heavily
laden. Their cargoes range from about 1OC
tons, brought by the first, to 1900 tons by
later vessels. 1t consisted mainly of teas,
silks, rice, mating and japanese curios.

Torres was the scene of two more Spanish
bull-fghts. and Matador James Meadows,

show. was seriously wounded. He is the
second man gored during the week.
A magnificent black bull named Por-
frio Diaz, in honor of Mexico's President,
was turned into the arena and made
straight for Meadows, who moved the au-
dience to applause by stepping to one side
and then vaulting upon the back of the
animal. But the applause died out in an
expression of horror, for the next mo-
ment he was upon the ground under the
bulls feet and the animals horns were in
his body. Only the quick work of the
picadors saved his life.
There was no other matador in the
troupe and the fight was ended by lassoing
the bull and throwing him and placing
bags containing corn upon his horns,
whence the picadors took the sacks.

SAN JOSE, CAL, April IL. - Several
members of the family and guests of Al
fred Pozzo, who resides at so North River
street, were poisoned this afternoon by
eating dried mushrooms, and were placed
out of danger only by the heroic treat
ment administered by two physicians.
The mushrooms were purchased on Sat-
urday and served at the noon meal to-day.
About two hours later the grandchildren
OF Mr.. Pozzo Walter and Nita Worden,
became very sick. Miss Angie Pozzo was
next attacked by cramps and fainting
spells. Mrs. a. Worden and Miss Leonora
Pozzo showed symptoms of poisoning a
few moments later, and then Miss Dollie
Dohrmann, Erban Espinoza and Manuel
Castro became affected.
a physician was summoned, and, after
making diagnosis of the cases, said the
family had been poisoned by the mush-
rooms they had eaten. Another doctor
was sent for to assist in relieving the VIC
TINS, and after two and half hours con-
tinued labor with emetics and antid otes
the physicians pronounced the family out
OF danger. Mr.. and Mrs. Pozzo also ate
lightly OF the mushrooms, but were not
affected.

Stewart, late chief clerk of the Northern
Trust Company bank at Chicago, and J.
T. Leight, a real-estate dealer of the same
city, who are here en- route to the Alaska
gold fields, say that squad of United
States police is to be stationed on the

ing Company. which maintains line of
steamers on the Yukon and also operates
extensively in other ways in Alaska, are
reported to have left Chicago last Satur.
day for the National capital.
Weare is a son-in-law and Gage a son OF
Secretary of the Treasury Lyman j.
Gage. Some six weeks ago young Gage
passed through Seattle, en- route to Chi
cago from Alaska, and while here he inti-
mated to friends that such move would
probably be made. It is supposed to have
heen fastened by reason of the action of
the British Canadian Government in send
ing second squad of Dominion police to
look after the interests of England's sub
iects in her far northern territory. The
second British police squad, mum bering
twenty, arrived at Vancouver en- route to
the Yukon several days ago.
1t appears that the British Canadian
police have been particularly obnoxious
and often sive to Americans engaged in
mining on the Alaska side, in that they
are given to rounding up all lawless and
vicious persons and driving them over on
to the United States, where they plundel
and terrorize Americans. Unjust customs
duties it is sa i'd, are levied md complaints IS
have been made by Alaskans since the
Britis mounted police was first stationed
on the Yukon some eighteen months ago.
Thorp had to pay a duty of 20 per cent OF
the cost price OF the cattle he took before
he could land them on the Yukon.

STOCKTON, CAL, April 1.-THE base
bali season opened hele to-day with one
of the largest crowds in attendance that
has witnessed baseball game in this city
in years. The contesting teams were the
Imperials of San Francisco and the Stock
ton nine. They put up as good game of
ball as any OF the widest baseball cranks
could wish for. The great feature was the
pitching of George Earper This will be
his last game on the coast this year, as he
goes East in few days to pitch for the
Brooklyns. He pitched seven innings
and struck out eight men-fve in two
innings. During the first seven innings
only two men from San Francisco crossed
home plate and they on errors. Loch-
head of Stockton took the batting honors.
but when he took Harper's place in the
eighth inning he did not pitch his usual
game and the San Franciscans made two
more runs. M. White and Harper OF
Stockton both lined out two-baggers The
fielding honors went to Murphy, the I'm
perials' speedy third baseman. He won
the grand stand by one-hand catch of a
foul that he had to run forty yards 10 get.
He made some splendid stops of fast
grounders.
Campbell and Long were the umpires

OREGON SHEEP STARVING.
Owners Refused Grazing Privileges on the
Verdont Ronges in Wash
n1ton.

PORTLAND, Or, April lie. A. Buck
ley, a sheep-raiser of Sherman County,
has been told 10 keep off the grass by the
County Commissioner of Klickitat County,
Wash. This injunction will, of necessity,
be needed. but 1t will greatly iniure the
sheep-raising industry of Northeastern
Oregon. Buckley represents many sheep
men who have heretofore been allowed ac-
cess TO rich ranges in Klickitat County
and the Mount Adams region, across the
Columbia.
1t seems that the cattle and sheep men
on the Columbia side want the ranges for
themselve and procured the passage of a
law by the Washington Legislature, which
gives County Commissioners OF the border
counties the right to say whether sheep
may come across.
Mr.. Buckley, one of the most extensive
wool. growers in Oregon, and another
sheep man, were plainly told by the
Klickitat Commissioners that no permits
would be issued. In consequence there is
no summer range in sight for over 100 00O
sheep which should be taken to ranges at
once, as the hard winter has used up the
available feed supply. Some OF the sheep

will die, as the Oregon ranges are utilized
by sheep from other counties.
The KIickitat commissioners say the
tax heretofore collected on migratory cat.
tie has added something to the county s
revenue, but does not amount TO what
regular taxes collected from resident
sheepmen would. They accordingly want
to keep their ranges and stimulate the
cattle and sheep industry at home.

The Robbers Crime Punishable With
Death According to the Law

RANDSBURG, CAL, April 11.-William
a. Hevrin, manager of the Great San
Joaquin Supply Company's interests here.
was confronted in his Office at O. clock
this morning by a masked robber and
forced to deliver over the contents of the
cash-drawer, amounting to $500. The out
law escaped with his booty.
Hevren had counted the cash prepare
tory to closing for the balance of the
night, but after placing it in the safe he
remembered that the change for the sa-
loon part of the business was not left in
the register He took out the cash-drawer
and walked to the register. Just then the
masked man walked in, exclaiming:
Throw up your hands"
Hevren and Frank Ham, the only other
person in the place, at once obeyed. The
robber kept his revolver moving from one
to the other as he edged toward the SAFE
de took Hevren's pistol from it, and,
alter placing it in his pocket, said:
II want your money"
"All right; here il is" said Hevren. II
just took it out of the safe: it is yours"
Hevren showed the drawer toward the
robber, who transferred his revolver to his
left hand and with the right took the
money out of the drawer and put it into
his pocket. Hevren asked him to leave a
little "chicken feed" to open up on.
About this time the robber became nerv-
Gus and did drop several coins. Backing
out and closing the door slowly, he warned
them not to follow or he would kill them
The safe was wide open, with several
packages of money and iewelry in full
view. One sack, belonging to Willy Ken
yon, contained 5000, and diamond ring
worth $400 was in another purse, but the
bandit did not modest these packages.
The robber was of medium height and
wore drab duster. His mask was made
of dark cloth, with white painted circles
around the eyeholes. The fellow was
tracked to Johannesburg, but there the
trail was lost
This was the first genuine hold-up ever
attempted in this district and it has Gre
. ated much uneasiness. According to the
unwritten law of the Rand, robbery OF
this character is as serious a crime as a
cold bloode murder, and the perpetrator
is responsible with mis- life to the vigilance
committee which has been formed by the
miners.
