The Dix went to Por nd ad hay and fodder for the Philippines. She was to return here for several hundred mules before starting across the Pacific. She reached Portland all right and left there for this port a week ago with a big cargo of hay and grain. She reached Astoria and there she is still stuck, unable to reach the open sea because of the lack of water on the Columbia River bar. The Government dredger Chinook has been trying to shovel a passage through which the Dix might safely pass, but rough weather has interfered with the to 1 dredging operations and the only hope | a the Dix is a spell of fine weather 1 a good high tide. Meanwhile the contractors engaged to fit the Dix with stalls for the mules find that their preparations to do a in record time were wasted and the mules are eating their heads off at the Presidio. The delay is caus- ing the Quartermaster’s Department no little inconvenience and it is pos- sible that the Dix may have to dis charge all or part of her cargo at As | toria, come down light and either ship wait until be brought or can other hay and fodder that now .in her hold here either by rail or on smaller ves- sels whose size will better suit them for the shoal waters of the Columbia bar. —— China Will Be Crowded.

Wilson will be prepared to cefy the clements and under the cover of canvas nine gangs of stevedores will rush the work of un- loading the biggest cargo ever taken alongside the Pacific Mail wharf. The wharf space at the disposal of the steamship compnay has been insufficient for a long time and it will be absolutely impossible to care for all the Algoa's freight at the Malil dock. Through the courtesy of the Collector of the Port the warehouse adjoining the dock has been placed at the company’s disposal and into this big storehouse much of the nvrrlufl freight from the Aizoa is being trucked. In a few days the Algoa will be moved to Greenwich-street wharf and there will finish discharging. Stormy Passage Home. The French bark Brizeux, which left here September 20, arrived yesterday at Antwerp more or less the worse for wear. The passage from the new world to the old was a stormy one and more than once the elements threat- ened to overwhelm the French bark. In a storm encoantered November 18 the Brizeux lost many sails and had yards and running rigging damaged. A mountain of salt green see toppled on board over the after end on De- cember b and injured the rudder as well Sweeping the deck clear of all movable imped! menta. S e s The Overdue List.

Lowe, Wealthy Min- ing Man of Alaska, Sues His Wife for Return of Riches — SAYS SHE DECEIVED HIM S | Alleges That He Gave Her All He Owned, Believing That ller Love Was All for Him A T Richard R. Lowe, a wealthy mining man of Alaska, and Virgie Graves Lowe, his wife, have quarreled, and as a resu!t two suits have been filed in the Superior Court here by Lowe to re- cover property alleged by Lowe to have teen given by him to Mrs. Lowe. One of the actions is to recover two Swiss watches, a nugget chain and a dia- mond stud worth $1300, and for $1000 damages for their detention by Mrs. Lowe. The other suit is for an injunc- tion restraining Mrs. Lowe from dispos- Ing of $150,000 wonth of property he says he gave her to hold in trust for him in December, 1889, when they were married. Pending the trial of both actions, the property will be placed in the hands of David Rich, who upon the filing of the complaints yesterday was appointed receiver by Judge Ker- rigan. temporarily restraining Mrs. Lowe from disposing of any of the property | claimed by Lowe, and ordered her and the Alaska Commercial Company and the Alaska Packers' Association, which corporations have the custody of the disputed property, to appear before him to-morrow and show cause why the temporary injunction should not made permanent. S According to Lowe's complaint for an injunction, he was married to the plaintiff in 1899 at Oakland, shortly after his return from a successful trip to Alaska. He claims that she gave him to understand that she was deeply | in love with him, and he, believing her, conveyed to her all his property. The conveyance, he says, was made with the understanding that she was to hold it in trust for their common benefit and | in their declining years | in order that they might have a sufficient income to make their last days comfortable. All was well for a few years, says Lowe, and then came petty bickerings and quarrels and finally, within the last year, a separation. Mrs. Lowe, he says, left him without any cause or reason | and absolutely refused to return to him his hard earned wealth. Because of her refusal, he alleges, he is forced to the conclusion that she never loved him; that she married him simply to get control of his property, and by de- ceiving him got him to convey it all te her. In the suit to recover “Roxie Graves” is a defendant with Mrs. Lowe. She and Mrs. Lowe are at the Lick Hpuse, and Lowe is a guest | at the Occidental. The defendant tress and known as Virgil Graves. She first met Lowe in Dawson while piay ing in the “Gay Parisian.” Their mar- riage quickly followed, but from all accounts was never a happy union, a fact which is attributed by many who, knew the coupie in the north to the discrepancies in their ages, Lowe being more than twenty years his wife's senior. They came out of Dawson last year and were for a time liv ing together at the Occidental Hotel. Mrs. Lowe, however, soon left her hus- band and has since been living alone the Lick. Lowe, when seen last evening, said that he and his wife had had a disagreement over property mat- | ters, but that everything may soon be | | settled and he added: In fact I wife to-day and we got along very nicely. Evidently the breach between them s not as great as the cdmplaint filed yesterday would indicate, for shortly after the interview last evening a mes- senger was carrying notes between them. Lowe is widely known in Daw- ““There will be no divorce. son, where he has made a large fortune | in mining and other enterprises. * —_———————— Declare Votes Were Illegally Cast. E. L.

The Assist- ant District Attorney commented upon the serious duty the jury had been called upon to perform, and said, in | part: | This matter Involves the wracking of two | human lives. Miss Marie Jordan, a vyoung woman, was living in hapol befors the noon of the day when she was shot down on | the very threshald of her home like & beast Cowardice and treachery and unfhanliness | were o plain that it is mo use tryinx to strengthen the facts. and as men of family you | can appreciate the terror and herror of the act. | The killing snd the manner of the killing | are admitted, but the defendant claims to Bavs been insane and, therefore, not respodsible. The |law which applies to such a case does not mean to excrse the purpose of a suilty man, but is for the man who does not know his act The law of insanity has been so abused, the resort to it has become mo common, that even the courts have taken cosmizance and ha instructed the jury so that the gullty should not escape on a plea of insanity when the in- sanity is counterfeit [ PLANNED THE DEED. The law requires that the mind must be in such a condition that it cannot decide between | right and wronk: that the nature or quality of the act is mot kmown to the perpetrator These are the tests law lays down as an excuse for crime The evidence shows beyond a doubt that | Edmond de Labrousse knew just what he was doing.

PLEA OF INSANITY. Attorney Thodore Roche followed for the defense, and claimed that the pros- ecution had not shown that his client was sane. Mr. Roche said the murler was committed without malice afore thought, without a desire for venge- ance and without premeditation, and held that the highest crime for which he could be convicted, If convicted at all, was manslaughter. The evidence of insanity, Mr. Roche said, had been offered honestly, and he contended that the defense had proved that the pris- oner was insane by a preponderance of evid e Holding that such was the ca®e at the time of the commissio of the murder, counsel asked the ju for an acquittal Argument will | resumed this morning by Attorney Alford, also for the defense, and later District Attor- ney Byington w eply —_—e——————— Police Describe the Nymphia.

Pattison, a railroad man, se- cured a judgment for $1950 in Judge Troutt's court yesterday against the Fidelity and Casualty Company of New York. He sued for the amount award- ed him for injuries received by him while he was traveling between Sac- ramento and Reno. He held an acci- dent policy calling for $50 a week dur- ing the time he was ill. The company refused to pay it on the, ground that | the injury was not received in such a manner that Pattison was entitled to | benefits. | | | | e VON SCHLOSSER IS KILLED BY A BEAR | BARON German Nobleman Meets Death While | Hunting in the Wilds of Washington. | PORT ANGELES, Wash., Feb.
