II was recalled tonight that Mrs,
James Hamilton Lewis. also OF Chi
eago. missed valuable worth $4,000
while on the Cunard liner Saxonia,
when a passenger last January. A suit
seeking to establish the company's
liability is pending.
Mrs. Drummond believes the per-
sons who robbed her must have used
light, for in the drawer were some
other articles which were not touched
and on top of the drawer was the KEY
to her dispatch box.
New York detectives are OF the
opinion that the robbery was the
work Of professional thieves. Many
pictures OF Mrs. Drummond taken
about the time of her marriage to her
present husband. showing her wear
ing the magnificent three ropes of
pearls have been published in both
European and American papers.
Mrs. Drummond's idea she told the
police, Is that an attempt will be made
TO take the jewels back to Europe.
she believes the thieves will find II
hard to dispose of them here. while
a ready market can be found In some
European city. perhaps Antwerp, the

according to a bulletin issued by the
geological survey.
This information comes oppor-

the pendingScontroversy arising over
the German tax law on potash which
is the subject of diplomatic negotia-
ton between the United States and
Germany. The latter country it is
said, has a world monopoly on the
known deposits of potash and the
United States is the chief consumer.
The geologists of the survey express
the belief that potash whose chief
value lies in its use as fertilizer.
will be found in large quantities in
the regions about the Rocky noun
tains and the great basin region.
The survey already has accumu-
lated considerable data on the sub
ject, covering a period of many years,
incidental to the examination of the
geological structure of the country.
If congress passes the pending appro-
priation for the purpose, the survey

dentlals from the Mexican congress or
from President Diaz. Being further

from the Mexican government that

Local leaders in touch with the situa-
tion say the matter Of peace only
hinges on the recognition and main
tenance of the constitution Of 1857.
Another provision was that neither
the president or other government

tion, and that before anything at all
was done, the soldiers in the field unr

changed congratulations on the rati-

Washington. Feb. 26.-Final dis
position of the famous United States
ship Portsmouth, a warrior of other
days, is being considered by the navy
department. The old sailing vessel is
desired by California as a relic be-
cause of her historic interest to the
Pacific coast in the war with Mexico.
Whether the state will get her de-
pends upon the result Of an action
just taken by the navy department.
A general survey of the Portsmouth
has been ordered by Secretary Meyer
TO determine these three questions:
The cost of fitting her for a voyage
from New York to California, there
to be preserved as naval relic; the
cost of preparing her for the use of
the marine hospital service to replace
the Jamestown: and her value in case
II is recommended that she be Of
Tered for sale.
This old man-of-war has a notable
record. When hostilities broke out
with Mexico, the Portsmouth was In
Pacific waters. On July 3, 1916, she
hoisted the stars and stripes at Yerba
Buena, now San Francisco, and rem
dered valuable service along the west
ern coast.
Later she was sent to Africa to aid
in the suppression Of slave trade. The
archives of the navy department show
that on her African mission, her
crew took a pledge against the use
of intoxicants in order to safeguard
themselves against the ravages of fe-
yer prevalent there. The old vessel
then became known as the Temper
ance ship"
In 1855 Just before the outbreak of
the war between England and China,
