The Steamer Left San Francisco on
the Fourth Instant.
Since Which Date No Tidings Of the Vesse
Have Been Received.
Should Have Reached Seattle, Her
Destination, Many Days Ago
Besides Her Crew Of Twenty
Five Men, the Vessel Carried
Number of Passengers.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 13.-The fate
Of the steamer Cleveland, which left
this port for Seattle on December 4th,
is still in doubt. She was not sighted
by the steamer WalIa Walla, which
arrived from the Sound to-day.
Charles Nelson, the owner of the
Cleveland is confident that the vessel
has only met with mishap. and will
be heard from again in the near fu-
ture. He has ordered a tug from Gray's
Harbor TO go out in search of her, and
the steam schooner Lakme, which left
the Sound to-day for San Francisco,
will so out of her course to look for
the missing vessel
The Cleveland carried a number of
passengers, but the names of only two,
W. L. Dietrich and Frank Gerthan
were booked with the agent, E. T..
Kruse, in this city. The other passen-
gers purchased their tickets of the pur-
ser at the wharf, and he carried the
list to sea with him. 1t is presumed.
however, that the passengers did not
number more than a dozen, and all of
these took second-class passage.
Her crew was as follows: c.. F.
Hall, Captain; S. B. Durfee, first mate;
l.. B. Henderson, second mate; S. Mel
vim, third mate; c. HasSar, chief engi-
neer; r. P. O'Neill, first assistant engi-

PORT TOWNSEND, Dec. 13-Noth-
ing has as yet been heard from the
overdue steamer Cleveland, and ship
ping men are beginning to despair Of
her reaching port. No report has been
received from Tatoosh to-day, as the
Government wire is down. The theory
is advanced that if it was the Cleve-
land under sail which was sighted off
Cape Lookout by Captain Green Of the
steamer State of California last Thurs
day, she would have reached Cape
Flattery long ere this.

PETROLEUM QUESTION.
German Consumers Prefer the
American Product

LONDON, Dec. 13.-The Berlin cor
respondent of the DAILY Chronicle, -
in a dispatch to-day with reference to
the petroleum question, says:
The German consumers everywhere
prefer American to Russian oil and
the Government hopes some method
may be discovered of reducing the spe-
cific gravity Of the Russian product,
and cheapening and facilitating trans
portation. The prospects, however, are
that the refiners at Bal.u will find ORR
entail markets for all the oil they can
produce and the sale of Russian Oil
in Germany is diminishing 1t is be-
lieved that the Standard trust will not
succeed in getting the Baku refineries
INTO Its ring. M. de Witte, Russian
Minister of Finance has the final word
in that matter, and is likely to forbid
it. AS the case now stands. both the
German Government and the German
Chamber of Commerce feel powerless. "

FASTER TRAIN SERVICE.
Atchison to Shorten the Time Be-
tween Chicago and Kansas City.

CHICAGO, Dec. 13.-The roads be-
tween Chicago and Kansas City have
been stirred up by the announcement that
the Atchison is intending to shorten the
running time of one Of it's trains between
the two cities by about two hours.
There is an agreement between the
lines that the running time of all trains
shall be fifteen hours. The notice issued
by President Ripley of the Atchison that
the train leaving Chicago at IL a. m. on
his road will hereafter make the time
thirteen hours has stirred up the other
lines in lively fashion.
The explanation given by President
Ripley is that the traffic on this one ira
has been so heavy west of Kansas City
that it has been impossible to run IT on
schedule time. and it has been getting
into Albuquerque day after day any
where from one to three hours late. This
upsets the schedule through to the Pa
cific Coast, and as it has been found inn
possible to make up the time west OF
the Missouri River, Passenger Trafhc
Manager White of the Atchison an
nounced that there was only one thlng
for the line to do, and that was to make
the necessary time east of the river.

BARKENTINE LESLIE d.
Encounters a Hurricane OFF the
Oregon Coast.


PORT TOWNSEND, Dec. 13.-At lO
o'clock tonight the tug Lorne came
into port having in tow the American
barkentlne Leslie D., Captain Aspland,
which was picked up off Flattery this
morning.
The barkentine left Knappton. on the
Columbia River, lumber laden for San
Francisco From the time she crossed
the Columbia River bar on December
7th she battled with terrible gales,
which increased to a hurricane Thurs
day night.
The Captain says the night was the
most terrible one in his experience. The
waves rolled mountains high, complete
ly submerging the vessel, carrying away
her deck load and everything else that
was not boIted and nailed, and strip
ping the mastS of what little sail was
being carried at the time.
The barkentine filled and the pumps
aboard We're manned. The discovery
was then made that the craft had
sprung a leak, and was making water
as fast as 1t was being pumped out. In
the morning it was found that the
barkentine had blown far to the north
Sail was rigged and the vessel headed
for the mouth of the Straits of F'uca,
which point she reached after five days.

the proposals of the employers there
would be a renewal of the deadlock.
The strike began on July 18th last,
with lockout against some of the engi-
neers, followed by the engineers calling
out a large number of men, until about
hundred thousand engineers were
thrown out of work. The ostensible
reason for the strike was the question
of payment of overtime and incidentally
for eight hours per day. The engineers
have insisted upon eight hours work,
and that all overtime must count as one
and a quarter time for the first two
hours and as time and a half after that.
The senior professors at Oxford Uni
versity have signed protest against the
attitude of the employers.

APPEALS ON HABEAs CORPUS.
Senator Perkins Introduces a Bill
to Amend the Revised Statutes.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13. - Senator
Perkins Of California to-day introduced
bill to amend that paragraph of the
Revised Statutes relating to the ap-
peal on habeas corpus of criminal cases
to the Supreme Court of the United
States.
The object is to do away with numer-
Gus appeals by attorneys Of prisoners
made with the sole view Of gaining
time. Senator Perkins presents the
Durrant case as a particularly strong
example of this sort
In this connection he said that when
a prisoner had the advantage of a Jury
trial, retrial if desired and an appeal
to the Governor of the State it was
manifestly unjust to allow appeals to
the Supreme Court without the certifj-
Gates of either the State Supreme Court
or the Circuit Court before which the
case was tried.
The measure, If passed, will not af-
feet the Durrant case in any way. but
will considerably shorten the legal pro-
cess in all such cases in the future.
