G The United ‘States battle-ship Oregon has at last recovered her anchor and the two tqns of chain that went with it. .For soveral days the wretker Whitelaw has scoured Richardsons Bay im search of the missing’ mudhook, but it was yesterday morning before Captain Whitelaw was able to cry “BEureka’’ The anchor weighed six tons, and it was soine time before it and the two tons of chain at. As soon as everything was secured the White- lasv was headed for the battle-ship, and after her arrival it was not long before the anchor was again on the Oregon’s port bow. *.Once the transfer was made the wrecker returned to'her moorings and the men on the warship proceeded to reweld he chain, Every-link was'retested, and the chances are that the Otegon.will never go'adrift again. P S Tt will be remernbered that the big war-. ship lostc her port anchor while getting ready- to leave on a trial cruise ten days ago.

Gregory and E. G.'Black were appointed gatekeepers on the seawall. " Hitherto the Commissioners have had to deperid.an the records of the grain-weighers, but now a gystem. of tags hag been inaugurated and each load of wheat that leaves the grainsheds will_be registered in the Chief Wharfinger's office. This entails.a gréat déal ot work on the grain-weighers on the front and they and the teamsters are grumbling. - Just'the same, the arder will be_-enforced, and as t e Harbor Camimis- sioners arg m\sters of the situation the weighers will fill et the tdgd in fiture: .

The Sydney was considerably delayed in get- ting away: She hgs an enormous load aboard for La Libertad, and when Captain Johnston ordered the engines astern the vessel would not budge.’ She was fast in the mud. Finally the assistance of a couple of tug: was secured and about 3 P. M. the vessel got away. 3 The Peking took away with her over 300 Chinese and nearly $2,000,000 in silver money. The Chinese New Year comes next February,and the Mongols are geing home to pay their debts. H. A, Jerome went out as purser. For sixteen years he remdined ashore, but finally decided to try the sea again. Years ago he was purser of the old San Francisco, that was lost on the Uentral American coast, and he and Chandler, the’ present steward of the Peking, were shipmates. E. T. Os- borne, who was purser of the big steamer, will go to Yokohama, where he will as- sume a lucrative position in the Mail Company’s employ. Osborne was purser on (Ea Colima, but was transferred the trip befora the unfortunate sleamer went down, \. The wreck of the San Benito, the South- ern Pacific’s steamer that-went ashore at -Point Arena, was sold in the Merchants’ Exchange yesterday. T. P. H.

He will take his wrecker to the scens, and, given anything like fair weather, should salve enongh to pay him well for his pains. The Mauna Loa, the new steamer for the Hawaiian Inter-Island Navigation Company, sailed yesterday for Honolulu with a full cargo, but no passengers. At the last moment it. was found that the vessel had no license to carry passengers, 50 they had to be left behind, and will go away Saturday on the Australa, The new revenue cutter Golden Gateis expected here from the souna shortly. Rumor has it that Captain Meininger, late of the Corwin, will have command of her | and that Lientenant Broadbent will be in charge of the engineers’ department. A new set of deckhands and firemen will be employed, and the men on the Hartley are already looking for new places, George Mclean, the popular chief freight clerk on the Mail dock, is a very sick man, He 1s now at the springs, but the physicians think he is suffering from dropsy. When the Zealandia was on the Australian run McLean was purser of her, and for yvears was in the employ of the Oceanic Steamship Company. Allhls friends on the front are hoping for his speedy recovery. Imprevement Clubs.

The Commissioners appointed by Presi- dent Cleveland to determine the exact ‘boundaries of the Klamatn Indian Reser- vation in Southeastern Orezon returned ‘The commis- sion is composea of W. P. Coleman of St. ‘Louis (chairman);, R. P, Hammond of San Francisco and J. D. Applegate of Klamath Falls. Harry J. Brady is secretary. The Commissioners left this City early jin October and proceeded at once to the reservation. In 1864 the Indians, some friendly, and others, hostile, claimed a vast tract of country in that region. To bring about a settlement of disputes the leading chieis and the Government of the United States entered into a solemn treaty guar- anteeing to the tribes uadisputed posses- sion of certain lands. The boundaries, however, were somewhat vaguely defined, as the lines of departure in the'reckoning -were marked by certain mduntains of the Cascade range. In course of time white settlers occupied some of the fertile val~ leys, and the Indians fancied that the en- croachment was an: inyasion of their do- main in violation of the treaty. H In order to ascertain definitely wha valleys belonged to the reservation Sena- tor Mitchell of Oregon procured the pas- sagze of an act or resolution of Congress authorizing the President to appoint three Commissioners. It seems that the Gov- ernment has patented to settlers some of the land claimed by the Indians. Should the surveys of the commission establish this claim'as a fact the United States will no doubt indemnify the Indians. 3 The Commissioners were delayed some« what in their departure and did not reacn the reservation until the winter season had set in. The altitude of the country in the Cascade range varies from 4000 to 10,000 feet. In many places the Commis- sionera encountered snow to the depth of three or four feet. The weather was ex- tremely cold. One day the thermometer registered 15 deg. below zero, 'he commission was equipped with a complete camping outfit, an ambulance, supply wagons, horses, tents, drivers and gooks. The inclemency of the weather did not prevent the commission from geng forward with the task. All the exterior lines of the reservation were traversed, a work which involved a journey of 300 miles over forest, mountain and valley lands. ‘Winter set in_early this year, and the fall of snow and rain up to date has been exceptionally large. ‘The Commissioners lived in the open air all the time, pitching their tents and building great fires at night. An Indian guide kept the camp well supplied with venison. . Elk and bear were not seen, but the streamns yielded some fish. The Commissioners took the testimony of many witnesses on the reservation, and al1s0 held a session at Klamath Falls at which much testimony was secured. Ample notes were taken by the Commis- sioners individually and these notes will be used in preparing the report. The Interlor Department has granted the Commissioners the privilege of hold- imf sessions in 8an Francisco 1o examine field notes, review the testimony and pre- pare & report. This work may be accom- plished by December 20. Mr. Coleman, the chairman, expects to leave for St. Louis about that time. The Commission- ers are in the best of health. Messrs. Coleman, Hammond and A pple- gate say that they have reached no con- clusions ss to the claims of the Indians and sestlers. The report, when agreed upon and signed, will be forwarded to the Secretary of the Interior and its recom- mendations will not: be made public until the Secretary airects. On the arrival of the Oregon train yes- terday forenoon W. P. Coleman, the chair- man, went 1o the home of his brother, judgment in his favor in the suivof Elizabsth G. Balawin against Mrs. Florence C, Moore and others. Mr. Doe wes among the *‘and ethers,’” as were also Jane Doe, Richard Roe and Mary Roe. It is decreed, however, that Mrs. Moore shall pay t6 the plaintiff $7122 for money bor- rowe& #455 counse] fees and costs of court. - e ———— A SUSPECTED FOOTPAD. George Taylor, Froga St. Louis, Arrested Early Yesterday Morning, Carrying a Kevolver and an Iron Bar. 9 .*A man is locked up in'the “tanks” at the City Prison, and the police think that he would have made a reputation asa footpad if he had not been arrested. About 2 o'clock yesterday morning. Policeman George Douglass was patiolling his beat on Post street, and near Jones street his ‘attention was attracted by the suspicious actions of 8 man, He watched him, and as soon as the man realized that fact he covered his face with his hat and | started to walk hurriedly away. Douglass ordered him to stop, and seeing some- thing sticking out of his overcoat pocket _he drew it out. It was a piece of an iron bar, -sixteen inches long and about oue a Batf inches ip diameter. A piece -of colored cotton was wrappen around it and |. tied with a string. It is an ugly looking weapon, heavy one blow. A revolver loaded in every chamber was also fourd in his pockets, and $2 in coin. His answers to Douglass’ questions not being satisfactory, he was taken to the City Prison and placed, in the “tanks’ pending an investigation. He gave the name of George Taylor, 30 years of age. He isabout5 fest 7 inches "tall, dark hair and mustache and was well dressed. . 5 Petective Bainbridge had a talk with him yesterday. He told Bainbridge that he came from St. Louis "about two weeks ago. He was a laborer and had been try- ing to find work, without success. He said he had put the iron bar and revolver in his pockét because be wanted to be arrested, on account of being unable to’'procure work as a laborer. & Bainbridge asked him if he knew sev- eral well-known people in St. Louis, but he had to admit that they were strangers to him. - 2 His statement that he is a laborer is not believed. His hands are soft and his gen- eral appearance indicates that he has never done any hard work. 1f nothing is discovered about his past record within the next few days, he will be charged with carrying concealed weapons and get six months in the County Jail, ————————— THE AIRSHIP Which mysteriously floated over this Cily and vicinity for some time was seen rising at 7:30 o’clock last evening by a multitude of at least 10,000 people, corner Twelfth and Market streets. It was'a sight never to be forgotten. On the side of the ship in bold letters were the words “‘Smoke Mild Half Million Club Cigars.” The navigator turned its prow toward the Union Iron Works, whence it returned at 9 ». M. Messts, Adelsdorier & Brandenstein were oftered a sum for it quile in excess of their expectations by tne representative of the Cuban revolutionists. Cubanscan appreciate a good article, and the Half illion Club is ths mildest and best eigar in this market. To-night the airship will make another ascent from Twelfth and Market streets at 8 o’clock. Itis worth seeing. B —————— AGAINRT THE GOVERNMENT. A United States Jury Restores to Peter Butts His Brewery. g Several months ago Internal Kevenue Collector O. M.

The case of the forfeiture has been on hearing before District Judge Morrow and jury for the past two days and much evi- dence was produced by the representatives of the Government to show that the of- fense complained of was actually commit- ted. Mr. Butts and several witnesses strenuously denied that old or canceled mps-had ever been used on new pack- es of be The jury’s verdict was against the Government and to restore the brewery to Butts. — e A Delinquent Debtor in Trouble, George L.
