down opinions as follows:

Association. Thomas H. and Otto
Miller VS.. Carl A. Sutter, H. S. Strong

Judgment affirmed. The opinion
was written for the court by Judge
Ross. The opinion cites the case Of Nc
Cready VS.. Virginia, "a U. s.. 391, and
recites:
The question involved was whether the
state Of Virginia coU1d prohibit the citizens OF
other states from planting oysters in Ware
River, a stream in Virginia where the tide
ebbed ard flowed when its own citizens had
that privilege. In that case il was said that
the principle had long been settled that each
state owns and possesses all the tide waters
within its jurisdiction unless they had been
granted away. In like manner the States own
Ths tide waters themselves and the fish in
them far they are capable Of ownership
while running. and. the court added the
title thus held IS subject r. the paramount
right Of navigation. There has never been any
such grant OF power over the fisheries. They
remain in tie exclusive control Of the State.

cretion 70 appropriate its tide waters. They

Judge Ross dissented In the lower
court the libellant was allowed $4,000
damages for alleged neglect of the
master in treating him for broken leg.
Il agree with the court below" said
Judge Ross, that the gross neglect of
the master of the ship, disclosed by
the record, presents a shocking in
stance OF mans inhumanity to man;
but. being of the opinion that by the
law of England the ship is liable in

under the decision of the Supreme
Court in the case of the OsceoIa, u. S.
15s. 175, a seaman is not allowed to

The firm since its organization has en-
joyed one of the largest furniture and

plored.
When Mr.. w J. Pattosien laid the
foundation for this immense business, it
was tine rule Of the company never TO de-

their advertisements the truth was al
ways paramount and Mr.. w. j. Patio
sien could not now advertise his retire
ment from business to create a great
sale and then afterward stay in busi-
ness.
IL can assure you.' Mr.. Gould contin-
ued, that the reduction in prices has
been genuine. and consequently the sales
for the month of February have been
phenomenal
Mr.. w. j. Pattosien has a long lease

TAKES INSANE
SOLDIERS EAST
Surgeon Edger Encounters
Difficulties on His Journey
to the National Asylum

Taking a number of insane soldiers
from the Pacific Coast tc the Atlantic
is not a detail readily sought by the
officer who is ordered to go in charge
of them. Surgeon Benjamin J. Edger
Jr. started East about ten days ago
with thirteen patients. in charge of
nine guards. Two of these patients
were very violent and had to be ham
died with the greatest care. The ether
eleven were suffering from mild at
tacks. but these really needed more
care than the two who were kept close
ly confined A special car was char
tered here and all went we'll until Ne
braska was reached. There the party
ran into terrible snowstorm, which
tied them up for day. The cold was
intense and all suffered. despite every
thing that the railroad officials could
do for them Finally the car was
switched on to another line, and just
before they approached Denver they
ran into a burning bridge. The car
was then run back and switched on to
a sidetrack, and by last reports it was
nearly two days late in getting on its
way to Chicago. ST. Elizabeth, d. C.,
is it's destination, where the afflicted
men will go into the National Hospital
for insane soldiers.
The previous lot of insane patients
was sent last December, in charge of
Major w p. Kendall. On this trip
although every precaution was taken
for the welfare of those in his charge,
one of his patients succeeded in elud-
ing the vigilance of his guards and
in the dead of night jumped from his
berth, dashed through the car and
leaped through a closed window while
the train was going fifty miles an hour
The unfortunate was instantly killed.
The transport Buford is scheduled to
sail for Manila on Thursday, but there
seems to be some doubt as to whether
the marines that are to go on her will
arrive by that time. Five hundred of
them left Washington, d. c.. ON the
5th, but storms and SHOWS have de-
layed them and it does not seem pos
sible that they can be here by the 10th
The remaining 100 are now at Mare
Island.
Major Devol has the Buford all
ready to sail Besides the marines, she
will carry a big cargo of lumber and
a crowd of casuals. Prominent among
these is Lieutenant Colonel Augustus
H. Bainbridge, retired, who is max
ing trip to the Philippines. Colonel
Bainbridge is very well known in San
Francisco.
The Coast Artillery was paid off yes
terday at the Presidio and, as is US
ually the case, there was great re-
joicing in camp. To-day the Field Ar
tillery will be paid off, so altogether
the environments of the post will as
sumo a roseate hue for the next few
days.
Major William p. Kendall will leave
for his new post, Ord Barracks, to-
morrow. Major Kendall has been in
charge for two years Of the General
Hospital at the Preside and has had
many improvements made during his
stay there.

E. n. Princes Grain Letter.

Chicago, April 6.-Wheat-The early
wheat market was very weak. but there
was a sharp upturn near the close,
which carried prices above Mondays
closing prices, and the market was firm
at the advance. There was a lot of
wheat for sale at the opening, and very
little support. Commission houses and
long holders sold out and the local peo-
pie hammered the market persistently.
There was no support forthcoming un-
til the full decline Yves reached, then
some buying in July set in, and with
the pressure off the market and buy
ing by some of the early sellers there
was quick rally. The selling was due
largely to southwestern rains. Cables
were weak, and receipts We're larger.
Late buying was on strength of cash
wheat and reports of a fair export bus
mess at the seaboard.
Corn-Valentine kept the crowd in
corn guessing all day There were
heavy purchases and sales of July cred
ited TO Armour and In an effort to fol-
low him the crowd played both sides
Of the market and caused extreme
weakness. Commission houses sold
May on stop orders and local longs sold
out, causing a bad break in the May.
Valentine picked UP lot of July on the
break, and some late scattered buying
resulted in much firmer feeling and a
complete recovery Of the loss In distant
months. May advanced sharp early.
The late buying was partly on wheat
strength Reports of Increased move
ment and better grade were against the
market. Cash demand slow, but market
firm.
Oats-Oats followed wheat and corn.

Hartman and the Rockefellers
Said to Be Buying Up West
ern Railway Stocks
AN ALLIANCE IS SUSPECTED
Tremendous Amount of Stocks Bought
Up by These Interests Believed to
Presase Important Announcement in
the Railway World in the Near
Future.

New York. April 6.-Standard Oil in
terests are among the heaviest purchas-
ers of stocks in this market. A person
in close touch with the affairs of the
Standard Oil party stated that Mr..
Rockefeller and his friends had accu-
nTulated In the neighborhood of 125,000
Within the last two or three weeks.
THE Standard OIL people" said he,
have been selling stocks on the way
down from the high record quotations
and they seem to be convinced that
prices have reached their lowest level.
am firmly convinced that the STAN
dard OIL people can be ranked among
the largest holders of Union Pacific Sc
ourities. An adjustment of the North
ern Securities dispute will be reached
in the very near future. Conditions are
such that Mr.. Hill and Mr.. Hartman
cannot afford to enter into any pro-
longed controversy. You cannot state
positively that no contest for control Of
the Union Pacific is on"
In banking circles the belief is now
firmly held that the Standard Oil inter-
ests and the Hartman interests have
entered into an alliance Of a most i'm
portant nature. 1t is known definitely
that John d. Rockefeller. Jr., has pur-
chased 100000 shares of Union Pacific
during the last month. Other heavy
purchasers have also been traced to
the Standard Oil interests. The Harri-
man interests have also largely
creased their holdings Of Union Pacific.
While the buying by these two inter-
ests has been urgent it has not been
competitive. The stock has been abb
sorbed in such a way as to give the
impression in conservative banking cir
cles that the Standard Oil interests and
the Hartman interests have entered
into an alliance OF some character.
This heavy buying of Union Pacific
appeared in the market Immediately
after the Northern Securities decision
was rendered, and it has continued I'M
since. This Is now con-
sidered Significant Whether or not the
surmise Is correct, the belief IS now
held firmly in conservative banking
circles that the Hartman and Standard
Oil interests have entered into COM
bination TO wrest control of Northern
Pacific from the Northern Securities
interests. This conjecture may be
mistaken one, but if it is accepted 1t
certainly explains many things which
have occurred during the last month
and which have greatly mystified Wall
street. II Union Pacific could secure
the control OF Northern Pacific, the
stock certainly would increase greatly
in value
