Tacoma, Jan. 13.-The British ship
Senator, Captain R. Lewis, which ar
rived from Valparaiso last Saturday,
brought two seamen, who mutinied
when they arrived in United States
waters. They are being kept in irons
and will be tried before the British
vice-consul Thre men shipped at Val
paraiso and give their names as Moss,
an Irishman, and Pesaro, an Italian.
Moss true name is supposed to be Nc
Carty. The United States minister, Mr..
Terrell, at the request of the mission
aries at Bitlis, Turkey, has obtained
telegraphic orders from the court to
remove the Turkish guard which has
protected the American college for the
past year. This indicates confidence
that order has been completely estab-
lished. Other news received at the
United States legation shows the gov
ernors are maintaining order in the
provinces.

CONGRESS TO ACT.
Proposition to Preserve the Old Frigate
Constitution.

Washington, Jan. 15.-The PROPOSE
ton to preserve the old frigate Consti-
tuition has received a fresh start in con-
gress, and it is possible that an appro-
priation will be made to put the vessel
in condition and bring her to Wash
lngton to be preserved as a naval relic.
Charles Francis Adams and other citi-
zens of Boston have just appealed to
the senate to make some provision to
save the frigate.
Secretary Herbert has repeatedly
urged congress to save this historic
ship.
"Of the old Revolutionary navy"
he said, 1--WE still have two precious
relics, the Constitution and the Hart
ford. The old Constitution, so glor-
ious in the war Of 1912, lies rotting at
the Portsmouth navy-yard In my
annual reports l have recommended
that a sufficient sum of money be ap-
propriated to repair and insure her
preservation, but my appeal has been
unheeded. believe that this genera
tion of Americans should do its duty
and repair and hand down the old Con-
stitution, with masts and spars still
standing, and ensign flying, to the
generation that is to come"

GOVERNMENT WILL FoRecLosE
Probable Course That VIII BE Taken in
the Pacific Railways Case,

Chicago, Jan. l5.-A Washington
special says:
Foreclosure of the liens of the gov
ernment against the Pacific roads is
almost certain to be begun. Whether
the suits will be concluded is another
matter. 1t is almost certain that when
the intention of the government is
made clear, various syndicates will
make offers to protect the federal in
terests. 1t is common talk here that
the Vanderbilt interests have already
slgnlfled an intention to offer to nav
the government 90 per cent of its lien
and secure the balance.
congressman talked with saw the
government occupies an impregnable
position. Its mortgages cannot be fore
closed as the sovereignty cannot be
sued Or deprived OF its rights by pro-
cess OF law. The closest students of
the situation in congress believe that
foreclosure proceedings will be instituted
at once by the attorney general, and
they point to that portion of the presi-
dents message in which he outlined
his policy toward the Pacific roads.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER
Downing, Hopkins & Co.'s Review OF
Trade.

Wheat on Friday of last week had
lost 5c from the highest point, though
portion of the loss was recovered be-
fore the close on Saturday, and the to-
tai loss for the week was 4c. Taking
the news of the week as a whole there
was nothing to suggest u reason for the
decline unless it be the further bank
troubles reported from the Northwest.
That, however, is not good reason to
assign, as banks at Chicago are anxious
to lend money on wheat securities and
have plenty of it for all applicants hay
ing 10 per cent margin. The true
reason was the taking of profits, which
to some big traders were sufficiently en-
tlclng at the opening advance on Mon
day-S5 &c for May delivery. The de-
cline throughout the week was steady,
until on Friday, when the tide was
turned by the bringing into line of large
buying orders for export. Corn and
oats suffered losses of 7-Sc and 5-Sc re-
spectively in sympathy with wheat.
The trade has generally become con-
WINGED that the Argentine surplus will
be lighter than heretofore figured ON.
and those who estimated it at 20, ,OOO,.
600 bushels ten days ago, have reduced
their figures to 10000, 900 bushels.
This is the result of bad weather, there
being too much rain at harvest, the
same as the winter wheat crop here
suffered last year, taking off probably
100000 bushels from the yield.
This makes the second year that the
Argentine crop has been damaged by
unreasonable weather at harvest time,
but this year it has been somewhat
damaged by locusts. The latest esti-
mates make reduction of 5000, 900
bushels from what the bulls figured on.
To make the situation more bullish
is the prospect of Il scarce crop, snow
and cold weather following two days of
rain over the winter wheat country,
which is not good thing for the crop.
This may start buying by the country,
and when they get in there is no tell
ing where the price will go. The much
talked of 81 would be realized within a
short time

Needles at $50 this morning, shows
that she probably lowered the eastward
record about seventeen minutes. Her

of last year. The trip just completed
was made in about days, IL hours, 10

Although the st. Louis made quick
passage eastward, the Southampton

American liner Fuerst Bismarck, 6

A Spurious Certificate.

New York, Jan. 15.-The banks

felt of the $40 United States certificate,

lOped carmine seal, purports to be
signed by j. F. Tillman, register of
the treasury, and D. N. Morgan, treas
urer OF the United States, and bears
the treasury A6705401.
The most noticeable defect in the
bill is the portrait of Daniel Manning,
which does not stand out in bold relief
as in the genuine, but appears sunken
in the background. In the counterfeit
the nose appears sharp and pointed,
while in the genuine it is round and
broad at the end. There are other de-
fects. The counterfeit is printed on
good quality OF paper, but lacks the
distributed fiber found in the genuine

LoNDoN's INTELLIGENT HORSE.
Plays Home, Sweet Home" and
Draws LifeIike Pictures.


Draws Lifelike Pictures.
Alpha, the most intelligent horse that
ever lived, is now being exhibited in
London, where his performances have
aStoniShed even those who for life
time have studied the wisdom of his
race. This intelligent animal has
companion named Beta. who is much
smaller. Between the two of them they
seem to comprehend about the highest
intelligence that is to be found in the
animal Kingdom. The two animals ap-
pear upon the stage of the Aquarium,
in London, with bells tied to their fet-
locks and without the assistance of
prompter or any other adventitious aid,
they play Home, Sweet Home"
Much more surprising than this, how
ever, is the performance of Alpha in
drawing portrait. A coarse pencil Is
grasped in the teeth of the animal, and
Mr.. Shaw, who exhibits him, holds Il
drawing board just under his mouth.
Slowly and carefully Alpha proceeds
to draw the portrait of Mr.. Gladstone.
The big nose, the high collar, and the
sunken mouth of the great English
statesman are carefully penned by the
horse, and he can be seen to scrutnize
the lines rs he proceeds Tho ear, the
hair the coat collar and even the shad-
ing under the eye are all carefully put
in by this equine artist. The likeness
Is unmiStakable when this pen picture
of Mr.. Gladstone is completed.
A more difficult trick is then perform
ed by Alpha, assisted by Beta his lit
tie companion. A target is set up at one
end of the stage, and Beta comes out
with gun strapped to her back. Beta
