ORDERS SENT TO THE
 BATTLESHIP OREGON
She Will Remain at Callao, Peru, for at Least Two
 Weeks

WASHINGTON. Dec. N.-Orders have been cabled by the Navy Department to Captain Barker of the Oregon, the senior and commanding officer of the little fleet of battleships and supply vessels now at Callao, to remain at that point until Jan uary 10 next. It appears that the vessels never had any orders to proceed either 10 Manila or to Honolulu, though it was the purpose of the Navy Department, when they started from New York, to make Manila their destination, It was not pos sibIe. however, to order them to the place without being guilty of breach of the spirit of the agreement between the Unit Init pension of hostilities. Therefore 1t was understood that the ships were to go to Honolulu, there to receive orders which would carry them to Manila But the or ders were actually sent to Captain Barker by cable at the ports in South America where he touched, leaving it open to the Navy Department to make any change in the original plan that might be deemed advisable. It is probable that the occa- sion for such a change has not arrived, for 1t is believed that there Is not now the same necessity for the presence of such a powerful ship away from the home sta ton, and before January l. Captain Bar ker is likely to be duly notified

BLOODHOUND TO
 TRAIL A BURGLAR
San Jose's Chief of Police Deter mined to Catch the Elusive
 ttRnrerV

SAN JOSE, Dec. 27.--A burglar with a brace and bit and who bores out panels in doors is causing terror among San Jose women and at the same time baf11ng the Police Department. The mans first ap- pearance here was a couple of weeks ago, when he bored out a panel in Dr. Slmp- sons residence on North Third street. Since then he has made nightly visits to various residences, extending his trips to Edenvale and Agnews.
 The Borer," as he has become known, takes nothing, and only makes trips through houses, generally making his exit by a rear door. In over dozen places entered the only things taken have been a macintosh and $1 in cash. Last night he visited the residence of F. II. Mabury, on Second and Empire streets, where he bored the panel out of the front door, making a hole big enough to crawl through. He was scared away.
 He has left two braces and bits behind him. but no further clews have been dis covered.
 search of lodging houses fails to To- cate any stranger, and Chief Kfdward and his force are puzzled. Women are becom- ing alarmed, and it is almost impossible for a husband to go away from home for the evening. To-day Chief Kidward re ceived a bloodhound from Sheriff Matthews of Monterey County, and the dog will be put on the trail of the ''Borer" when his next visit is reported.

Anglo-American Commission Asked to Hemove the Protective Duty and Thus Invite Con-
 petition.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-The Amer ican Newspaper Publishers Association has presented to the Anglo American joint high commissioners a carefully prepared argument in favor of free pa per and free pulp. The following is a syllabus of the argument:
 The directors of the American News paper Publishers Association, represent ing 170 daily newspapers of the United States and representing the bulk Of the
 total consumption of print paper, are in favor of free paper and free pulp. The
 tariff of S6 per ton on print paper is pro- hibitory and we believe that the rate of S1 67 per ton for mechanically groundw wood pulp is excessive; that the American pa per manufacturers need no protection, be- cause they can manufacture paper cheap
 CT than is done in any other part of the world and that they are now supplying the Australian, Japanese and British mar kets in competition with Swedish and Ger man manufactures: that no print paper Is brought into the United States, but that during the last year the export has aver aged over 1000 tons per week, and that
 the entire revenue received from the i'm
 portation of mechanically ground wood pulp was only $41 S42 last year, so that no serious question of national economy could be urged in opposition to free pulp The American manufacturers are pro- tected to the extent of Sl 60 per ton by
 reason of their proximity to their custom CTS. The difference in the cost of trans
 portation to market is their great guar
 antee of security against Canada or any
 by reason of their ability to obtain cheap CT and more convenient supplies of coal | and chemicals, which as yet are not ob-
 tainable in the Canadian forests.
 In January, 1S9S all the big and profit
 able paper mills of the United States, with
 a few unimportant exceptions, were merged into the International Paper Com pany, combination that absorbed twen- ty-four mills, producing about 80 per cent

PASTURAGE FOR SHEEP. Mount Tacoma Reservation to Be
 Thrown Open to Herds.

TACOMA, Dec. 27.-The forestry re- serve officials of the Northwest met last night in Tacoma to discuss the question of sheep grazing in the reserves. It was practically decided to allot the pasture district lying in the Mount Tacoma re- serve in we'll defined ranges, the boun- daries being marked by streams and ridges. These ranges will be let at the rate of s to every thousand sheep pas tured each season, unless there is com petition for the same tract between rival graziers when it will be given to the highest bidder Grazing will be prohibited in the reserves until June 20 to allow the grass to get well started and the higher attitudes will be reserved until a month later.
 The settlement of this question is one of greatest difficulty and is left nearly al- together to the discretion of the reserve superintendents, although their plans will be ratified by the Government
 Dr. Cloes has ascertained that the re- serves are already pastured to the fullest extent compatible with safety to the per manence of the grazing. The herds are increasing every year and it has become necessary to formulate a plan for alot- ing the districts with definite boundaries for each range and to prevent too early feeding on the grass in the spring.
