NORWEGIAN STEAMER
Overhauled by the Collier Alexander on the
Way to Hayti.
Copyright. Associated Press)

Copyright, Associated Press.)
Mole ST. Nicholas, Hayti, June ~
The collier Alexander, Commander
Burwell, from Hampton Roads, ar
rived here at o'clock this morning.
The only notable incident on her
way down was the overhaullng OF
Norwegian steamer, the name of which
had been painted out The officers OF
the Alexander suspected that she was
Spaniard, and Commander Burweli
sent a lieutenant on board her. One
of the Alexanders boats was capsized
in the rough sea and lost, but the men,
who were tumbled into the water by
the overturning of the boat, were res
cued.
The papers on the Norwegian were
found to be regular and she was al
lowed to go.
During the excitement of speaking
her, Commander Burwell's son Willie,
fifteen years old, who is said to be the
youngest volunteer in the navy, re-
peatedly exclaimed to his father: ooh,
l do hope it is Spaniard."
The entire crew of the Alexander
were spelling for fight, but If Willie's
wish had been fulfilled it would prob
ably only have taken few minutes to
capture them, as the whole of the
ships armament consisted of two three
inch guns.

A QUIET DAY.
Little Activity at the State, War 81
Navy Departments Yesterday.
Adiutant General Corbin Denies a
Report.

WASHINGTON. June 19.-The big State,
War and Navy building presented al
most a deserted appearance to-day, in
marked contrast with the rush and
hustle of business on week days. Or
the high officials who since the war
began have found it necessary to spend
a part of each Sunday in their offices,
only a few were to be seen to-day.
Adjutant General Corbin, who is one
of the hardest worked officials in the
service of the government, was at his
desk as usual. Captain Crowninshield
was at the navigation bureau for sew
eral hours. No war news Of import
ance was received, however, from any
direction. The transports with the
troops for Santiago are expected to
arrive not later than some time to-
morrow, but nothing Of special in
terest beyond the fact of their arrival
is anticipated for two Or three days at
the earliest. The landing of an army
on a hostile coast, it is pointed out,
is not matter of a few hours, even
under favorable circumstances, and
therefore the officials will not be sur
prised if forward land movement is
not begun before late in the present
week. AT the White House the usual
Sunday quiet prevailed. The President
attended church in the morning and
spent the remainder Of the day with
Mrs. Mckinley and their guests.
Adjutant General Corbin character
ICES as absurd the published report
that he would be given an important
command at the front. and in meas
ure would succeed Gen. Miles in the
direction of the military affairs. Such
a thing, he said, had never entered his
mind, or so far as he knew, that of
any one else in authority. He had
never heard it intimated from any
responsible source that Gen. Miles
might be relieved of some of his duties.
and he did not believe that such a thing
was ever considered. And ever were it
true it was beyond reason, he added,
that his {Corbin's) position would be
changed in consequence.

ROCERETO'S BAND
At Mozart Park-Cool Weather Affected
the Attendance.

The Mozart Park management is
peculiarly unfortunate this season in
the selection of dates for its attractions.
1t will be remembered that the May
Festival was failure on account Of
the cold weather and rain, and that
the programme was repeated on the
following Sunday. Yesterday morning
it rained, and although it cleared up
in the afternoon. the weather became
cold-too cold for comfort. There was
a fair attenance in the afternoon, but
it was smaller last night, and the audi
ence actually shivered. Many left the
Park early on that account.
The Eighteenth Regiment band was
the attraction Yesterday. 1t is really
excellent musical organization, fully
sustaining the reputation which pre-
coded it to this city. Both afternoon
and evening concerts were splendidly
given, and the comparatively small
number of persons who heard the
music, keenly appreciated it. 1t is to
be hoped that the band will be heard
here again during the summer, under
more favorable conditions.

AN IMPORTANT CASE.
The Decision Which Will do Much
Settle Land Titles.


Special to the Register.
Charleston, w. Va, June 19.-The de-
cision of the United States Supreme
Court of Appeals in the case Of Henry
C. King against NJ. B. Mullens, Alex.
McClintic and John McClintic will do
more to settle West Virginia land titles
than probably any case that has ever
been decided in either the State or Fed
eral Courts An advance copy of JUS
tice Harlans opinion in the case has
lust reached here, and the lawyers are
all scrambling to see it.
The case involved the title to 100000
acres of land patented in 1895 by Rob-
ert Morris, and lying in Logan and adj
Joining counties. The defendants in
the case relied entirely upon the fact
that the land was forfeited TO the State
by the failure of the owners TO enter the
same upon the land books for five years
prior to the suit The case was first
decided by Judge Golf. of the United
States Circuit Court, who instructed
the jury that the land having been left
off the land books constituted for
fixture, and the jury brought in a YER
diet in accordance with the instruction.
King appealed on a writ of error to the

Conditions of Trade

a war which brought no shrinkage of
business while it lasted has brought
with its ending quite remarkable ex-
pansion. Orders and purchases have
increased in nearly all branches, few as
yet being of such nature that they can
be attributed to the material enlarge
ment of trade with the lately Spanish
islands which must come little later
The stock market has meanwhile
advanced to the highest average for
railroad stocks, $62.5l per share on
Wednesday, that has been known for
over five wears, and the profttaking on
Thursday did not lessen general belief
in still higher prices to come. Though
the average is higher by SO per share
than when the war began, foreign ex-
change shows weakness, London buying
45, 900 shares on balance for the week,
and there is prospect of further imports
of gold in payment for the great crops
now going forward.
