MAYOR BEHRMAN PRESENTED
WITH LOVING CUP.

After four years of faithful and har-
monious service, the Council closed its
career as the official law-making body
of the municipality at the meeting
Tuesday night, with many expressions
of the strongest regret that the part
ing of the ways had come TO the mem.
bers of the official family, and with sill.
yer emblems of admiration and fealty
presented by the body to Mayor Behr-
man, President of the Council James
McRacken and Vice President of the
body Charles O'ConnOr, in the form of
handsome silver loving cups.
After the foTnality of the opening of
the deliberations and disposition of the
routine business on motion of James
Robin, a committee Of three was APP
pointed by the chair to wait on Mayor
Behrman, who was in his parlors, and
invite him to come before the body.
Mr.. McRacken appointed Messrs. Ro-
bin, OConnor and Harrison, who escort
ed the mayor to the rostrum. The
chief executive acknowledged the hon
or by saying that a special message he
had sent to the body expressed his
feelings on the occasion, both officially
and personally He said that time
alone can tell whether the change that
made it necessary for the members of
the Council to step aside was wise or
, not, but that never could there have
been a set of men who had been the
means of doing a greater amount of
good for the greatest number of peo-
pie. He emphasized the fact that
while they are parting officially there
were not parting as friends, and he
wanted every one to come to the par
lors every time they could and to feel
that they are in the house of a friend.
At the close of these remarks Mr..
Robin took the floor, and in a touching
short talk presented the mayor with a
handsome silver loving cup in the
name of the Council. Among other
! things Mr.. Robin said: Your charac-
ter, your honesty and your integrity,
Mr. Mayor, have led you at all times
to resist the favors of your friends and
the calumny of your enemies and led
you through the ways that have been
prompted only by the good of the city
and of the people. We know that the
new administration will find in you
what the old has found-a noble, hon.
est, courageous leader of simon-pure
democracy, and the head of the best
government that the city of New Or
leans ever has or ever can know.
desire, in the name of the men who
know and love you, to present you
with this token of their devotion and
loyalty to you as a man and as ths
head of this body and the government
of the people" This was greeted with
a tremendous burst of applause, as
the cup was handed to his honor

The new purchase of the Alaska
| steamship Company, the Mariposa,
is now at Seattle lying alongside
Pier 2. Her recent arrival was well
coined with much acclaim and blow
ing of whistles along the entire wa
ter front.
Approximately $4,000 is to be
spent on the vessel before she is
placed in service. A steam-heating
plant is to be installed, her matches
rearranged in order that she may be
used in the copper ore carrying trade
and alterations made to her state
| rooms. A smoking room is also to
be constructed on her deck and the
vessel given a general overhauling.
The Mariposa has been operated
by the Oceanic Steamship Company
between San Francisco and Tahiti
She comes now to join her twin
screw sister vessel, the Alameda,
which was purchased from the
Spreckles company about two years
ago. The Alameda has proved her
self the fastest of the Alaska Steam
ship Company's fleet, but she will
have to look to her laurels when the
rahita liner takes the opposite run
ON the Southwestern Alaska route in
The Spring.
When the Mariposa is placed on
the run, which it is expected will be
about May 1, the vessels of the Alas
ka Steamship Company making the
run to Cordova, Valdez and Seward,
will operate via the inside pas
, sage. The company is looking for
ward to big excursion business this
season.

The United States land offices

The United States land offices
have been notified of radical
change made by the Department of
the Interior in the rules of practice
governing patents to mineral claims
The amendment provides that here
after an abstract of title. brought
down to date, must be furnished be-
fore the register of the land office
can receive the application for pat
ent or issue notices for publication.
Heretofore applicants were not re
quired to file an abstract of title
until the making of final proof. BY
the amendment, publication of final
proofs will be deferred until the
showing is thus completed and the
land officers are satisfied that full
title was in the applicant the day of
the filing of the application.
Some distinction has been made in
the case of the district of Alaska,
where the application for patent will
be received and filed and the order
for publication issued if the abstract
showing full title in the applicant. is
brought down, to a day reasonably
near the date of the presentation of
the application.
No certificate from the abstractor
or abstract company will be accepted
until approval by the commiss, oner
of the general land office of ia
vorable report of the chief d the

district attorney in whose district the
