RAID A SALOON
Enter BarrOOm and Order
Proprietor and Customers
to Throw Up Their Hands

Two men. masked with handker-
and grocery of ]. H O'Brien, All
Shotwen street, about 10 o'clock last
night
O'Brien and two customers were in
the barroom when two robbers, one
wearing a red handkerchief and the
other a white one over his face, entered
and, at the points of revolvers, ordered
the crowd to throw up their hands.
James O'Callahan, one of the Gus
toners, was rather deliberate in rails
ing his hands, whereupon. one of the
robbers fired at him. The shot missed
however, and the thief struck OCalla-
han on the head with the butt end Of
his revolver, knocking him to the floor
Dan Ford and O'Brien were searched
and gold watch and 81 in coin taken
from Ford. O'Brien had no money on
his person. The thugs next robbed the
till, from which they got 50 or $6.
As soon as the thieves had left the
saloon O'Brien ran for his revolver,
which he usually keeps behind the bar
He was unable to find it there, but
later located it in his room behind the
store.
AS soon as he found his revolver.
O'Brien ran out into the street and fired
several shots in the air.
In less than ten minutes a patrol
wagon, carrying a squad of police from
the Mission station, was on the spot,
but the culprits had made good their
escape.
Detectives Fitzgerald. Dinan and
Wren were detailed on the case, but as
yet no arrests have been made.
O'Callahan's injuries are slight.

GERMAN SHIP
IS ENCULFED
Captain of the Deuteros Ig-
nores Warming of Voyager
and Vessel Strikes Rocks
Special Dispatch to The Call.

TACOMA, April 3. Oriental ad-
vices received to-day contain details
of the loss of the German steamship
Deuteros, which was wrecked on the
rocks in Paracels Straits in February
while Ell route from Saigon to Hong
kong. One passenger had a PRESENT.
ment of approaching danger and
askedahe captain to exercise care in
passing through the narrow channel
between the islands. The captain
laughed and declared that there was
no danger. Soon after the steamer
struck the rocks, grinding her hull for
a long distance on the rough bottom.
Captain Schmidt made a hasty ex-
animation which showed eighteen feet
of water in the hold and the vessel
sinking fast. Boats were instantly
lowered, the Chinese crew taking pos
session of the first two despite the eff
forts of the officers to quiet them.
Seventeen passengers and the officers
went into later boats, the captain be-
ing last to leave the steamer. The
captains boat returned and secured
provisions, rockets and oil and the
ships books. The boats were then
tied together to prevent them sepa-
rating in high seas then running.
The Deuteros got off the rocks and
drifted down the channel after the
boats, but her lights disappeared
in the early morning, indicating that
she had sunk. After drifting thirty
hours a light was seen approaching
and three rockets were fired. Two
failed, but the third went into the air.
In three minutes it was answered and
the Dutch steamer Laertes, bound for
Saigon, picked up the castaways. By
Captain Schmidt's good management
every soul was saved.

Nothing by way of an introduction

ASKS RUSSIANS
FOR PRIVILEGE
Mccormick Desires Ameri-
can Corporations Be Al
lowed Action in Courts

ST. PETERSBURG, April 3.-Em-
bassador Mccormick is negotiating
with the Foreign Office for a treaty
with Russia which viii give to United
States corporations the right TO sue in
Russian courts and TO Russian corpor
ations the right to sue in courts of the
United States. Under the Russian law
United States corporations can be sued
but cannot sue in the courts Of the
empire. This has caused United States
firms great annoyance as well as losses
IN the past In addition the Embassa-
DOR hopes 10 secure in the treaty a
broad clause which viii give to the
United States corporations all privi-
leges in whatever character now enjoy
ed by the corporations OF any foreign
country.
Although there are difficulties in the
way OF accomplishing the desired re-
suit, the ambassadors advances have
been met in the fIiendliest manner and
the indications are that his negotia-
tions will terminate successfully.
The only countries now enjoying the
privileges which ambassador McCor-
mick is striving TO obtain for the
United States are Germany, Greece,
Bulgaria and Italy.

HARTMAN WILL CLOSE
UNION PACIFIC OFFICE
Purposes to Merge the Local Agency
Into That of the Southern
Pacific.

E. H. Hartman is preparing to
abolish the local offices of the Union
Pacific Company by consolidating
them with those of the Southern Pa
cific. 1t is reported on good author
ity that Hartman would have con-
solidated the offices several months
ago when he was here, and in fact
he seriously considered the matter
until he learned that the Union Pa
cific Company's lease In the Masonic
Temple has still two years to run and
it was not certain whether a change
would mean a loss to the company.
1t is now reported that he has given
instructions to his officials here to en-
deavor to find some one who will take
the remaining portion Of the lease off
his hands, and that when they succeed
an order merging the Union Pacific
passenger and freight offices into the
local agencies of the Southern Pacific
Company will Immediately follow. In
that event the last of the Union Pa
cific Companys agencies on this coast
will have disappeared.
Several years ago Hartman in
timated his intention OF closing the
local office of the Union Pacific Com
pany, but the proposition brought a
hurried protest from other lines on

give the company as well as the
Southern Pacific Company an unfair
advantage in the scramble for passen-
ger traffic in that it would at once Gre
ate for the Union Pacific Company
about two thousand new agencies on
the coast, for every station along the
Southern Pacific lines would immedi-
ately become the representative of the
other Hartman line. 1t is evident
that Hartman had this idea in view
at the time. but only refrained from
carrying it out because of threatened
antagonism from the Gould lines
Now that Gould is looking coastward,
Notwithstanding his assertions to the
contrary, Hartman feels that he can
make the change and the local agents
of the Union Pacific Company are
looking anxiously for an order de-
claring their offices on Montgomery
street out of business.
