THE PORTLAND BRINGS $575, 900.
Each Miner has Only Small Portion of
His Stake.

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 29.-It was four
teen hours the Portland was sighted off
Cape Flattery before she arrived here.
The Portland carried thirteen miners,
each of whom brought only a small part
of his stake. The total amOund of dust
on the vessel is perhaps S575,O0O. The
Portland was delayed by the failure of
the p. b. Weare to arrive at st. Mi
chaers and by storm on the North Pa
cifc ocean.
The miners on board, with the amount
of their total mining profits, parts Of
which were brought with them are as
follows: j. Rowan, $4,000; Jim Bell,

A TRIED REMEDY FOR BILIOUS
NESS.

Those who suffer from disorder or in
action of the liver will never get the up
per hand of the unruly organ so long as
they use such irrational remedies as
blue pill, calomel and pedophyllin. But
from the tried and popular medicine,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, they may
expect relief with a certainty of obtain
ing it. The influence Of the Bitters upon
the great hillary gland is direct, power
full and speedily felt. The relief afford
ed is not spasmodic, but complete and
permanent. The sallowness of the skin,
furred appearance of the tongue, indiges-
ton, costiveness, headache, nausea, pains
through the right side and shoulder, in
fact every accompaniment Of the obstin-
ate complaint are entirely and promptly
removed by course of this inestimable
medicine, in behalf of which testimony
is constantly emanating from every quar-
ter, and from all classes Of society.

TO BREAK UP COAL TRUST.

Kansas Officials Prepare for Active War
fare Upon Corporations.
Topeka, Kan, Aug. 30.-The State adj
ministration will, it is said, soon begin
active warfare on the coal companies
Operating in Kansas to break up the al
legged coal trust existing in the State.
Attorney General Boyle is said to be in
possession of conclusive proof that the
coal companies have entered into COM
bine, or trust, and are operating in viola
ton of the Farrely antitrust act of the
last Legislature.
Another reason for the proposed fight is
the claim that the companies are violat-
ing the laws prohibiting the payment of
wages in scrip on the companies stores.

The Sentence in Commander Mullan's Case

Washington, July S.-The president to-
day disposed of the case of Commander
Dennis Mullan. of the navy yard. lately
in of the Pensacola navy yard,
who had been found guilty by court-mar-
tial of drunkenness on duty and recon-
mended for dismissal from the navy. The
president in his endorsement says:
The sentence OF the cOurt-martial in
the foregoing case of Commander Dennis
Mullan is approved. but is ~n1itigated as
follows: To be reduced in rank so that
his name shall be placed at the foot of
the list Of commanders in the navy and 10
be suspended from rank and duty on one
half sea pay for the period of five years,
during which time he shall retain his
present place at the foot of the said list"
The practical effect of this sentence
probably will be to prevent the officer
from ever becoming a captain. a place
which he otherwise would have attained
in a day or two by the retirement OF Cap
tain Bartlett. and also make it improbable
that he will again hold a sea command
before retiring.
