Copyright, 1904, by the New York Herald Publishing Compan y. PARIS, March 17.—The Petit Mar- seillais considers at length the project | attributed to the Russian Government sending the Baltic fleet to the Far of East by the northeast passage through ! the Arctic Ocean and publishes a map to accentuate its observations. “The execution of this great design,” it says, “is not unaccompanied by im- mense risks. The route to be followed on leaving the Baltic Sea consists of rounding the coast of Norway, pass- ing along the North Sea. eternal iceflelds of the pole, finding on its way Nova Zembla, the isle of soli- | tude; Cheliuskin, New Siberia, Wran- gel Island, Eastern Cape, St. Lawrence Island, the Gulf of Anadir and Cape | Navain. “At this point of its voyage, assum- ing that it accomplishes it without hindrance, the Russian fleet will find itseff in Bering Sea and the waters of Kamchatka. “Now, for reaching this region, every | part of the route along the whole line of itinerary which has just been indi- in the neighborhood of the eightieth degree of latitude. The cold there during the ten good months of the year is from 20 to 40 degrees and | sometimes 50 decrees below zero and the sea is frozen over for three-quarters | jof the time. If one looks at the map be seen that the polar basin has no communication with other parts of the ocean than by the sea, which has many islands, mostly uninhabit- it will - Next the | fleet in some measure must skirt the | able, which extends between Nova | Zembla and Greentand, and on the oth- ‘er side by Smiths Strait and Bering | Strat. “These three routes are encumbered by icepacks formed in the Polar Sea. The Nordenskjold passed through these | regions in 1897 and attained as high | & latitude as 81 degrees 42 minutes. It !1s not necessary for the Russian fleet [to go s0 high in the north. It is only | & question of its finding a free expanse | of water to enable it to arrive at Ber- ing Strait. The ice there forms near- 1y a continuous belt between the ex- | treme coast of Arctic Asia and Amer- ica, along the shores of Alaska. | "“This point of the globe, where the Nordenskjold and Peary have won fame, became tragically, known in 1881 | by the disaster to the Jeannette in the | Arctic expedition sent out by the New York Herald under Lieutenant de Long. The Jeannette entered the Polar Sea at \the north of Bering Strait and disap- peared there. She had scarcely passed out of the channel when she was seized | by an iceberg and during two win- | ters, fastened to an icefloe, was car- | ried across the glacial sea to sink at | last off the New Siberian islands, bar- red in by masses of great icepacks to which the Jeannette could offer no re- | sistance. ‘If this bold voyage is accomplished it will certainly be the first time in | | the world’'s history when the polar bear |and seals 1 have the pleasure and | surprise of * einz a fleet pass in file | before them.’ SENATE CONFIRMS MANY NOMINATIONS Takes Favorable Action Upon a Large | Batch of Appointments Made by President Roosevelt.

The suit of Thomas Killogean, an rmenian, against M. B. Mihran, the Tutkwh rug dealgr at 2 Post street, for $£1700 he alleges is due for wages for two years' work as a salesman in Mihran's store, was on trial in Judge Hebbard's court yesterday. Mihran opposes the suit on the ground that the plaintiff was not a salesman in his store, but simply a porter and jan- itor. The evidepce adduced yesterday, however, showed that the plaintiff had for a number of months sold rugs. Evide to this effect was given by ries Crocker, R. Weil, Mrs. Be- lasco and Mrs. Louis Sloss, all of whom said they had been sold rugs by Killogean. They also gave evidenee favorable to his reputation in general. A few days ago Killogean was ar- rested on a warrant sworn to by Mih- charging him with stealing a rug selling it to Mrs. Curtis. After ran, la trial in the Police Court Killogean discharged, Mihran s charges. —_————— Newfoundland Dispute Settled.

He was despondent | over the delay of the courts in making | a division of the property. —_———— Johnson ¥s Found Guilty.

CHICAGO, March 17.—General Fred D. Grant, commander of the Depart- ment of the Lakes, startled the Irish Fellowship Society at its banquet to- | night by snubbing the President of the ! United States in the toast assigned to him. . General Grant was asked to re- ' spond to the toast, Instead of the good words that were expected his fellow banqueters heard ! the following: “I can only say a few words to you to-night. In the first place, I am not | a speechmaker. In the second place, because I am a soldier the ban of silence rests upon me. In the third | place, 1 do not know the President of the United States.” awkward silence until the toastmaster | came to the rescue with the next toast on the programme, The toast was all the more sensa- tional because General Grant was the | principal guest at the banquet. In say- ing that he dare riot talk because he | was a soldier he added that every offi- cer of the army, especially from the Philippines, who had talked publicly | “has heard from Washington.” | — e CREEKS OF CONN VALLEY i FOR THE USE OF ALL Judge Gesford of Napa Enjoins Rancher Overacker From Using Too Much Water. NAPA, March 17.—Judge Gesford | to-day rendered a decision in the case of Mrs. T. C.

Mrs. Rogers and the other lower riparian rights owners ! brought suit to restrain | from so diverting the water. By the decision the defendant is perpetually enjoined from diverting the water of Conn Creek during the dry seasons to such an extent as to de- prive the plaintiffs of water enough ‘ for domestic purposes and the water- | ing of their stock. | Conn Valley is situated fifteen miles | jnnrlh of Nana and contains some of the richest land in the county.

The commissioners for' the State’s Big Basin Park have received returns | concerning the recent rainfall in the Big Basin and they amply justify the name that has been attached to the region. In a period of ten days the clouds poured forty-eight inches of water into the basin. In fact, as the placed on the east fork of the Wad- dell Creek to make a space haif a mile long of slack water, upon which boats may be rowed for a distance of half a mile under trees. This may be succeeded by dams on the other streams. Such a method of providing room for canoeing is common in the great parks of Europe. At what is known as the “Governor's camp” there will be established a large sta- ble. Ali dry timber in the Big Basin Park will be cut and the underbrush will all be cleared out and disposed of safely this seasca.

Now the soil is in prime condition to ! nourish the mighty roots.of the sem- pervirens trees for the coming season, the first year when their full enjoy- ment has been thrown open to the public since originally they fell into private ownership. The several creeks that run through the Big Basin Park are still bank- full and scores of miniature water- falls are adding picturesqueness to the scene. Yesterday W. H. Mills, one of the Big Basin Park Commissioners, made the announcement that only the season and the wetness of the parks are in the way of any one who wishes to go in and enjoy camp life. Portions have been set aside as camping wrounds, so'situated that danger from fire will be obviated. In anticipation of the early opening of the season the Commissioners have authorized the warden to construct a log cabin for his own use at the entrance to the park. Here every visitor must regis- ter. At the next meeting of the com- mission it is probable that rules will be considered for the regulation of visitors. Santa Cruz County has authorized the construction of a good carri: road, with easy grades, into the Big ‘Basin and this will be completed by the middle of the coming summer. \‘nnconmhllonmwmnvedam Knights Templar, which will be held in this city September next, met last night at the executive committee headquarters, 645 Market street.
