PUBLIC STREAMS DEFINED.
Interesting Decision Rendered by the
Supreme Court.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 3.-The SUI
preme Court delivered an opinion to-
day defining a public stream, so far as
the right of taking fish is concerned
The Truckee Lumber Company has
its sawmills on the bank Of the Trucllee
River, a stream that runs from Lake
Tahoe, in this State, to Pyramid Lake,
in the State of Nevada. w F. Fitz-
gerald, the Attorney General. asked an
injunction against the company, aueg-
ing that it was permitting sawdust
shavngs and other refuse from the mill
to fall into the river, thereby destroying
the fish. The Supreme Court grant
ed the injunction. from which the de-
PENDANT appealed. and the Supreme
Court has now affirmed the order.
The common right to take fish," said
the court, extends not alone to navi-
gable waters, but exists to all waters,
the lands underlying which are not in
private ownership. While the right of
fishery upon ones land is exclusively in
the riparian proprietor, this does not
imply or carry the right to destroy
what he does not take. He does not
own the fish in the stream. His right
of property attaches only to those he
reduces in actual possession, and he
cannot lawfully kill or obstruct the free
passage of those not taken. The mere
fact, therefore that the interference or
obstruction complained of may in fact
be in a, stream where the right of fish
cry is exclusively in private riparian
owners, does not make the acts here
complained of any less an invasion of
the public right to protect it's general
interest in the property

CALIFORNIA RANGE HORSES.
A New Market rIay be Found for the
Herds in Japan.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 3.-It is
more than probable that a new market
is about to open for the great herds of
range horses of the Pacific Coast Since
the close of the Chino-Japanese war the
Japanese Government has been re-
organizing it's army, and from now on
large cavalry force is to be maintained
Previous to the war the Japanese
cavalry was about 10000 strong, and
was supplied from Government horse
breeding establishments. When. how
ever, at the outbreak of hostilities
drafts were made upon these establish
ments it was found that only ) per cent
of the animals We're really serviceable.
Officials at Toxic have recently been
considering the small, weedy range ami
mails, and when United States Consul
Bell at Melbourne learned of this fact,
he called attention to the American
range horses as being even better suited
to the needs of the Japanese Govern
ment.
Several Japanese residents in this city
who are considered authorities on the
matter, and who have made a study CT
japanese horses and the Japanese peo-
pie as horsemen, are emphatic in their
Endorsement of the American range
horse.
President Tetsuraro Aolzi of the Yo-
kohama Specie Bank of this city said
to-day that undoubtedly the American
horse Will fill all requirements. The
horse most suitable for the Japanese
cavalry" he said, should be as tough
as rawhide. not over gentle and not
too dainty in the matter Of fodder. I
would unhesitatingly recommend the
best horses for the home Government
could be selected from herds that thrive
so we'll on the PLAINS of Eastern Wash
ington, in Oregon, California and the
other mountain States. 1t only re-
mains for those most interested to
bring the matter properly before the
Japanese Government in order to open
up big market for their animals"

MURDERER BUTLER.
Now En- Route to the Scene of His
rlany Crimes.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 3.-When
the steamer Mariposa sailed this even
ing for Australia all hope seemed to
die in Frank Butler, who was started
back to the scenes of his many crimes.
For the first time since his arrest he
began to show marked signs of trepida-
ton and to realize that he had utterly
failed to deceive the authorities or the
public with his many conflicting state
nents concerning his past life.
The sailing of the steamer was de-
layed by the hardness of Eastern and
European mails, necessitating several
postponements. A crowd surrounded
the County Jail all day to see Buffers
start on his journey to justice. They
had long wait, for the multi-murderer
was not taken aboard the Mariposa I'M
til the last moment. Before leaving the
Jail he was handcuffed to the two Aus
traian detectives and driven as quick
ly as possible to the dock, where he
was hurried into the specially equipped
prisoners room amidships.

9U9B, was awakened by a lady next door
crying for help. He inquired the cause
of the outcry, and was told by his star
tied neighbor that somebody was trying
to break in through a rear door.
Dobel ran to his apartments, secured
pistol, and then hurried to the rear
There he saw a man of whom he in
quired his business. The trespasser
made no reply, and Dobel commanded
him to throw up his hands on penalty
of his life.
Still the stranger took no notice OF
Dobel, and the latter fired two shots
He then hurried to the front of the
mouse, expecting to intercept the in
truder as he beat retreat out of a

The Russian Consul at Panina writes
that it is untrue that he has been in

this story is probably Greek invention.
In reply to the Greek assertions that
the Macedonians will rise upon a decla
ration of war, the wish alone is father to

and Premier Stoileff are perfectly re-
solved that no risings shall take place if
they can help it. 1t is perfectly true that
in Bulgaria there is a certain popular
feeling toward stirring up a Macedonian
agitation, but it is said from a reliable
source that Stoileff is able to hold his
own against the opposition party. He
considers that the best policy is to sup
port the Prince and stanchly aid the
Powers in the cause of peace now, in
order that Bulgaria may have a stron-
ger claim later.
Servia is pledged to follow Bulgaria s
lead. Only in case of massacres taking
place would either of these two Powers
move. 1t is stated that the new Gov
ernor of Crete will be Spanish official
The ''Novoe Vremya" pertinently says:
Russia and England are agreed, but
there is no gain and only fatal delay in

are arranged.

HIGH WATER AT CHIPPEWA
FALLS.
CHIPPEWA FALLS (Wis). April 3
AN ice jam containing 100000 feet
of logs came down the Chippewa River,
causing the flooding of the lower part
of the town. A portion of River street
was flooded and merchants on that
street were compelled 10 make a hasty
departure.
The river rose six feet in half an
hour, but two hours later the water re-
ceded rapidly, leaving the flooded
streets in the lower part of the city in
a badly demoralized condition. The
entire mass of logs and ice is now
lodged against the Wisconsin Central
Railroad bridge. and that structure
will surely go out when the jam moves.
Intense excitement prevailed during
the passage of the jam and hundreds
of people gathered along the river
banks to watch it, There are several
other jams just above the city, and if
they break loose the entire river below
the dam will be filled. In this event q
heavy loss cannot be averted.
