TIMBER LAND FRAUDS.
Reports of Special Agents Tend to
Confirm Suspicion.

Washington, April 27-The secre-
tary OF the interior is beginning to re-
ceive reports on the suspension of tim
Der and stone land entries in Califor.
mia, Oregon and Washington, and, so
far as they go, they confirm the wis
dom of the order Of suspension on the
part o. the officials of the interior de-
partment. 1t was claimed that many,
ii not most of the entries under the
timber act which were made in the
Pacific coast states during the year 1902
were made in the interests of syndi.
Gates. and the protests made since the
issuance Of the order strengthen this
conviction.
Since then not single entry under
that law in the states covered by the
order has been allowed to 60 to patent
without thorough investigation There
are many special agents in that field
and the new law permitting the COM
pulsory abundance of witnesses in con-
nection with land entry investigations
is expected to prove Of great assistance
to them in establishing the validity of
such entries. In one state alone last
year there was an increase in the en-.
tries amounting to about l40 900 acres
in the course Of three months.

REVENGE Is TAKEN.
Two Thousand at Mad Mullah's Men
Killed in Action.

Alden, Arabia, April 27.-Brigadier
General Manning, after an engagement
with the Mad Mullah's forces, has re-
lieved Colonel Cobbe. near Gumberu
Somaliland About 1000 of the Null
labs men were killed. The British loss
is not known.
The few details ohtairable of the
disaster to Colonel Plunkett's detach.
ment April II. show that the Mullah' 8
forces consisted of 1000 horsemen and
10000 spearsmen. They surrounded
Colonel Plunkett's force in the open,
and the Somalis. after a heavy rifle
fire, charged repeatedly with their
horsemen and spearsmen on all sides.
The British detachment held out until
its ammunition was exhausted, and
then charged with the bayonet, but it
was ultimately overwhelmed by weight
Of numbers.
The British forces fought until all
of its officers and ITO men were killed.
Most of the handful of men who reach.
ed the camp were wounded. The So
malls losses are reported to have been
enormous. The Mullah's forces are re-
ported to aggregate from 1000 to 900
mounted men and about 1000 spears
men.

SEATTLE'S POPULATION.
New Directory Will Contain Approx.
imately 10000 Names.

Seattle, April 27-The city directory
for 1903, as issued by the Polk Directory
company. will indicate that the popu-
lation of Seattle, at a conservative esti.
mate, ia between $50, 900 and 100, 900.
The compilers of the directory find their
work at least Is per cent greater this
year than last. In 1902 there were
$1,000 names in the directory. The
book which is shortly to be issued will
contain something more than 10000
names, it Is believed. Using 2.l., as q
multiple to estimate the population,
and that is the lowest ever used, the
population is fully $50, 900, an increase
of from 200 to 10000 in year.
The directory is shortly to go to press,
as the work of compiling it is practic-
ally completed. Until the type is set
it will be- impossible to tell exactly the
number OF names the book will con.
tain. The e.timate is based on the
comparative labor required in prepar-
ing it for publication, and is given by
+. j. smith, local representative Of
the Polk Directory company. He be-
lieves 8 per cent to be low estimate
to place on the increase in the popnla-
ton of the city The limits covered are
no more extensive than last year.

THE BAN RAISED
NAVY DEPARTMENT REMOVES
BREMERTON EMBARGO.
Satisfied that the Better Element
Ii In Control of the Situation
and That Ships Can Be Sent
There without Fear Of Results

Washington, April 2s.-It is an
nounced by Acting Secretary Darling
that the navy department has formally
removed the ban which some months
ago was placed on the Puget Sound ma.
Wy yard as result OF what the depart
ment conceived to be the moral degen-
eracy of the town OF Bremerton. He is
satisfied. Mr.. Darling says. that the
"better element is in control and that
it is now safe to lift the official reform
EN- barge from that place.
The CORES pondence that has passed
between the navy department and the
citizens of Bremerton and Seattle on
the subject OF Bremertnn morals would
fl good sized letter book. Many citi-
zens have contended that the town was
not bad, others have admitted that it
was bad, but not SO bad as was painted
by Secretary Darling, and still others
have simply thrown up the sponge by
admitting that Bremerton was a place
of iniquity and that the navy depart
ment did right to insist on reform as a
condition precedent to further naval
activity at the yards. Assistant Secre-
tary Darling Vas pleased to learn that
the city council OF Bremerton had been

UNDER ELKlNS LAW.
Order Enjoins Any Determination
Against Small Shippers.


Chicago, April 27.-Judge Grosscup
has entered an order in the United
States court of appeals enjoining six
railroad companies from discriminating
against small shippers in the Western
territory. The decision is especially
important, as being the first under the
new Elkins law. The government, &C.
cording to the decision, is entitled to
the injunction against the defending
railroads under the commerce act az
we'll as the Elkins act. The ruling ap.
plies to IA railroads which were covered
by the proceedings instituted in the
federal court. Six OF these companies
were defendants in the local court. The
others are under the jurisdiction of the
federal court of Kansas City. Judge
Grosscup announced that he and Judge
Phillips we're of one mind relative to
all the points involved
The decision holds that the govern
ment has the right to bring an action
in equity to restrain the railroads from
discriminating. either by furnishing
lower rates or giving rebates to favored
shippers. 1T further declares that while
each judicial citizen has right to such
relief in his own behalf, in cases like
those under consideration the injured
persons are so numerous, and the in
jury to each is SO enthusiastically small
that it is the duty of the government to
act for them under the power specific
ally conferred by the statutes. The
Elkins law is held to be simply declar-
at"ry of the substantive rights which
existed before, and an injunction would
lie under the interstate commerce act.
