MORE TROUBLE FOR SPAIN.
Japan May Attempt to Seize the Caro-
lire Islands.

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal. March 6.-The
long-overdue schooner Vine. which left this
city a trading trip to the South Sea Is
lands last June. has arrived in port, with
important news from the South seas re-
garting a possible war between Japan and
Spain
Capt. Luttrell brought advices from the
Caroline Islands of happenings which may
involve Spain in another war. this time
with the ambitious japanese. The natives
group, which belongs to Spain. are very
ferocious when foreigners attempt to land.
and all trading with the islanders must be
done by other natives. The islanders are
almost all cannibals. They refuse to be-
come civilized. and wear no clothing.
A number of Japanese traders have re-
with the peaceable islanders. but
when they attempt to go inland they are
fiercely opposed.
Just before the Vine left the Carolines a
dozen or more Japanese traders were mas
sacred by the islanders without provoca-
ton. The remaining traders sent the news
to the Japanese government and have
asked for a war vessel to Subjugate the
|. inhabitants of the Spanish islands,
The general belief at kasae when the
Vine left that war would follow, as
the Japanese covet the islands, and are
generally understood to be desirouS of hav-
ing colonies throughout the South seas.
II is surmised that Japan will attempt
to Subjugate the islands and coloniZe them,

Report Regarding Oregon's Senator


PORTLAND, Ore, March 6.-There is
well-defined rumor that Governor Lord VIII
appoint ex-senator II. w. Corbett to the

islature to elect at the recent session. Mr..
Corbett represented Oregon in the Senate
from 1s,f; TO 1SIp He is president of the
First National Bank Of this city and man
of large wealth.
SALEM Ore, March 6.-Gov. Lord was
asked whether he intended to appoint
United States senator, and if SO. whether
he thought his appointee would be seated.
He said. II shall appoint senator, but
whether ne will be seated not / cannot
say. 1t is only some sort of specious anal
ogy that the facts in the Oregon case can
be brought within the principle recently
declared by the Senate / understand the
latest ruling of the Senate is that when
the legislature falls to elect senator dur
ing its session the power of the governor
to appoint is denied. To my mind the va
cancy in the Senate caused by reason of
the failure to organize and become COM

different matter from the failure of a duly

board of agriculture has been cores
ponding with some of the London inn
porters of butter and cheese from the
United States, with q view TO ascertain
ing what, if any objections are offered
by the Londoners against American
products of that character.

IF not made. saIted, packed or shipped
so as to be wanted or sold al the best
prices and by 1.-The best custom, we
would be glad to have you point out
the short cOmings."
w A Mcknight, a dealer of Liver
pool replied, but failed to furnish the
desired information. He does, however.
manifest considerable interest in the
American products. He says:
I shall be glad if you can bring me in
connection with fTst-Class creameries
which adopt the latest and most ap-
proved methods, making butter for ex-
port. That is to say, good bodied, fine
flavor, and those who are not accus-
toned to store their butter before ship

fore they will be frozen in. All inde-
pendent steamers will be compelled to
carry coal, as the natives have cut up
all the driftWOOd along the river bank
for over one hundred miles and have
sold it to the steamers owned by the
two big companies.

there are now about 800 miners on the
