RAILROAD WILL WIN.
Government Will Lose Suit to Recover
Oil Lands Worth $500, 900 900.

Washington.-Just as the govern
ment is sitting in for the biggest legal
game it ever played the discovery is
made that it is bound to lose and the
Southern Pacific to win $500, OOO, 900
if the play goes on.
The stakes are great area of Cali
fornias richest oil lands. They were
granted to the railroad with a clause
in the grant expressly excepting all
mineral lands save those containing
coal and iron: Most of these lands
were patented to the grantee more
than six years ago.
The joker in the situation is spe-
cial statute Of limitations, slipped
through congress in an act Of March
3, 1891, and perfected by another act
of March 2, 1896
The effect of these acts, as con-
strued by the United States supreme
court, is absolutely to bar proceed
ings by the government to annul a
patent of land to a Immigrant rail.
road after six years from the issuance
OF the patent. Until these acts are
repealed the government has not a
chance on earth to get back its lands

ENORMOUS TREASURE DlSCOV-
Erred OFF HONDURAN COAST BY
CALIFORNIA EXPEDITION.
Immense Quantity Of Gold Hidden by
Grow Of Chilean Cruiser Over Twenty
Years Ago Found by Expedition
Backed by CIubman.

San Diego. Cal.-A message received
here from a party Of treasure seekers
aboard the steamer Eureka, says their
expedition to recover an immense
cache Of gold, hidden by the crew Of
a Chilean cruiser off the Honduran
coast more than twenty years ago, has
been successful. The treasure has
been variously estimated at from $751;
100000 to $65 100000, according to re-
ports circulated here of the Eureka s
quest. The steamer is now headed for
this port
The Eureka is in command of Cap
tain Burtiss and was taken on thirty
day charter by party Of San Fran
cisco people about two weeks ago.
The expedition is said to have been
financed by Harry Krelling, we'll
known clubman of San Francisco
The map. showing the location of the
buried treasure, is said to have been
in the possession of a former resident
of Honduras, who succeeded in inter
esting Krelling in his story of the
buried gold
The fact that most of the South
American republics will not allow the
expectation of gold, made it necessary
to guard the plans of the expedition

New Stationery

From the Washington Star.
 Fabric papers, suggesting dress mate rials are in high favor. Exquisitely beau tiful paper for spring and summer cor
 respondence is in harmony with the ten dency toward striped effects in dress ma
 terials. The paper, however. instead of
 having a pronounced stripe, has d medI-
 um fine line, soft and delicate, yet im-
 mensely effective. The stripe is on novel
 fabric-finish paper presenting pleasing
 writing surface. This paper IS offered In
 numerous artistic styles in five of the most fashionable sizes, ranging from
 small regret notes to large sheets for lengthy letters. This paper may be had with either plain edges, coored borders or silver beveled, all of which could readily be still further enhanced by unique ana Iartistically engraved dye stamping.
 Both ottoman and Japanese papers are used for writing purposes, and all sta- tionery Is thinner than it has been for many seasons, though not as transparent
 as onion skin paper Monograms are quite long and placed upon the paper, only the envelopes being left plain. While gold is mostly used for monograms, luite often
 another color Is chosen. Those who pre- fer tinted stationery will appreciate the English blues, and dull champagne color.
