I noticed excel lent mineral indications up on the Ta- mana River, and in other localities. In lS90 l discovered true Assure vein of quartz eight feet in diameter with well defined casing rocks upon the upper Tanana. This quartz evidently con- tained metal. Specimens which I se- cured to take out to San Francisco for assay were subsequently, lost in a river catastrophe. Numerous creeks enter ing the Upper Panama revealed colors of gold In the sands.

David Jacob Defendant in Litigation at
 Portland.
Attack on the Legality of a Chattel Mortgage Given
 by Him.
Two Nephevvs of the San Francisco Merchant Named as Co.,
 defendants.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

TACOMA, Feb. Hive garn1sh- ment suits were brought against David Jacob of San Francisco yesterday ana to-day either Meyer Jacob or Joseph Jacob being also a defendant in each of the suits. These suits are supposed to be the result of a chattel mortgage on the stocks of the Chicago Shoe Store and the City of Paris drygoods house, which David Jacobs gave Wednesday to his mother-in-law, Caro- line Boise of San Francisco.
 David Jacob came to Tacoma in Jan uary and purchased an interest in the two stores, held by his nephews, Meyer and Joseph Jacob. David Jacob fur nished about $15.000 with which the houses were established six years ago. For some reason he was not satisfied on his arrival here and thought he would like to own the stores alone. His nephews were willing to sell and on February he became sole owner.
 Nine days later the chattel mortgage mentioned was given to secure these claims: London and San Francisco Bank, 5000; Caroline Boise, $6925; his wife, Jeanne Jacob, s4134; A. Knopf- macher, $650; A. lionel, $500; Sarah Ja- cob, $500; M Moses, $200 Under the terms of the mortgage Jacob was to hold possession, paying off the debts to the bank and Moses first, and the rest of the creditors pro rata by quarterly payment. Knopfmacher, one of the se- cured creditors, is a San Francisco jeweler; lionel a commission merchant there, while Sarah Jacob is a cousin who owns a store in San Diego.
 The garnishment suits are brought against Attorney George Fogg, who re- presents Mrs. Boise, as garnishee. They are brought to recover sums aggregat- ing $2200, the apparent object of the garnisherS being to contest the legal ity of the chattel mortgage. The firms suing are Neustadter Bros. of Portland, Fleischner, Meyer & Co. of Portland Florsheim G Co. of Chicago, Seth D. Bradley, an Eastern firm and the Daily Ledger of this city. The book ac- counts, which are left unsecured, are said to amount to about $3000, the greater part of which is owed to whole sale firms in San Francisco, including Sachs Bros, Levi Strauss & Co.,, Mur- phy, Grant & Co.,, Kahn Bros, Kline & Co, Calm. Nickelsburg & Co.,, Sohweitzer & Co. and Buckingham 6 Hecht.
 Meyer Jacob. one of the outgoing partners, was married on Wednesday at Stockton. He is now in San Fran cisco and is expected to return here and go into business with his brother Joseph on their own account. David Jacob will also remain, his wife hay- ing arrived yesterday.

REPLIES TO THE
 SPEECH OF THE THRONE.
John Redmond Moves an Amendment in the Interests of the Irish,
 Which Is Defeated.

LONDON, Feb. 11.-In the House of Commons to-day John Redmond, the Par nellite leader, moved an amendment to the address in reply to the speech of the throne at the opening of Parliament It was to the effect that while the House regards with satisfaction the proposed bill for the reform of local government in Ireland, the measure will in no wise meet the demand for an independent Irish Parliament"
 Sir William Vernon Harcourt, the Lib eral leader, replied, emphasizing the sac rifice the Liberals had made for home rule which he had supported.
 But, the speaker pointed out, the su- premacy of the imperial Parliament was a material feature of MT. Gladstone's s bill and was accepted by the Nationalist leaders.
 John Dillon, chairman of the Irish Par liamentary party, said he would support the amendment. Dillon warned the Liber- als that they would lose the Irish vote unless home rule headed their pro gramme.
 The House rejected the amendment by 152 to 100 votes,

In the early days of America,
and in fact up to thirty years ago,
American men supported their
women. 1t was not considered
right that women should enter into
avocations occupied by men. Their
field for employment was confined
to the school room and factory, but
now we find women filling places
in stores and offices, in the profess
sions, on the road as commercial
travellers, and in short, wherever
there is employment offered to the
American girl, there she is found.
We honor her independence in
earning livelihood for herself, but
deplore the fact that she has been
forced to desert her natural sphere.
Women were created to be the
wives and mothers of the race.
Their natural attractions are to
home and home surroundings, but
customs are driving them from, this
sphere.

The Spanish authorities hesitate
about exchanging Hobson and his
party. Ceryera refers the matter
to the local governor and the lat

Statesman is of the opinion that it
may require several months to
reach Blanco, if the insurgents
have succeeded in seyering com.
munication. In that event the
prisoners may remain in prison
until the end Of the war. 1t seems
likely that the Spaniards fear that
the men have gained too much
knowledge Of the Notifications,
harbors, ETC.; that they would be
able to furnish Sampson with
valuable information if they were
permitted to return to the fleet at
once.

ATHENA, JUNE II, 1898.

1t is contended by General Miles
and others that nothing will be
gained by invading Cuba until we
can send at least 100000 men. Be-
cause it will be useless to make an
attack upon Havana with q land
force much smaller than that. Al
though nothing official has been or
will be given out ON this subject,
there is excellent authority for
saying that it will require at least
three or four weeks to equip enough
of the volunteers to make up that
number. Although extra efforts
we're put forth to make a good
showing at Camp Alger when the
president went to review the volun-
teers there, the lack Of equipment
was made painfully apparent by
the fact that only two-thirds Of the
10000 men in camp could take part
in the parade, and the equipment
Of many Of them in line is utterly
worthless for fighting purposes.
The same condition exists at all
the mcbilizing points. The men
are ready and anxious to fight, but
they are not properly prepared to
do so. But the work of preparing
them is not being allowed to lag.
