Miss Rossiter is sanguine of success.
She lias au immense amount of doc-
umentary and other evidence to es-
tablish the claims of her clients.
The e?f,te descends from Baron
Adam Fisher, who was a friend and
counsellor of King Frederick. ihe
Baron had one son. Adam Fisher, jr.,
who when a young man out hunting,
shot a deer on the King's preserves
near his palace.
Usually this offence meant death
to the party committing the deed. But
his father, the Baron, was a friend of
King Frederick and one of his chief
advisers. Instead of putting Adam,
Jr., to death, the King exiled him to
America. Adam left Germany in 1742
in the ship Mary and landed in New
York, subsequently settling about
twelve miles from Philadelphia on the
Schuylkill. From there the descend-
ants of Adam settled in Berks. Colum-
bia and other counties of the state.
After the exile of the youth to this
country the Baron died and as a pun-
ishment to the son, he being the only
surviving heir, King Frederick con-
fiscated the estate for 100 years. Re-
ceiving information of the demise of
the Baron, the exiled sou started for
Germany, but fell ill of smallpox in
New York and died. Miss Rossiter will
supply the attorneys ror tho heirs at
Washington, D. C., with all the evi-
dence she has collected in time for
them to sail for Germany in June to
prosecute the claim.

deposits described are those of Grouse
Creek, Red Fox Creek, and other
creeks flowing into Lopps Lagoon,

from Ears Mountain.
TIN IN ALASKA.
Washington, D. C-, May 19.-An in-
teresting account of the development
of the York tin region, in Alaska, dur-
ing 1905 is to be included in the forth-
coming progress report of the United
States Geological Survey concerning
its work iu Alaska during tho past
field season. The report gives a brief
outline of the topography and geology
of tho York district and then describes
the tin properties thus far known
which include both lode deposits and
placer deposits. Should the lode de-
iposits seem to carry sufficient values
to pay for exploitation, they will have
many advantages over placer deposits.
They can be operated during the en-
tire year while placer deposits can be
worked only during the short open
season, and the work is subject even
then to the frequent delays and in-
convenience caused by storms, floods,
and lack of water.
The lode deposits Include those of
the Lost River area, the Cape Moun-
tain area, the Buck Creek area, and
the Ears Mountain area. On Cape
Mountain prospecting for tin has been
carried on since 1902, and a large
amount of work has been done. Fine
pieces of float tin were found at many
.places in the vicinity of Cape Moun-
tain, but it was not until 1901 that the
ore was found in place. D'iring 190o
there were further discoveries of tin
ore that made the outlook more en-
couraging. So far no producing tin
lodges have been found In the Buck
Creek area but several small tin
bearing veins were located last sum-
mer. Prospecting on Ears Mountain
continued during the season o£ 190;).
The only placer tin deposits found
in Alaska that have had any output
are those on Buck Creek. They have
produced to date about 91 tons of ore
that would average probably 6o per
IN THE RUSSIAN PARLIAMENT-
St. Petersburg, May 18. Tho criti-
cal moment which will decide whether
there will be peace 0r war between tho
crown and the people has apparently
arrived, with tho adoption by the
lower house of parliament last night
of its reply to the §peech from the
throne. Court reactionists, headed b>
Trepoff, are seeking in every way pos-
sible to inuuence the emperor to fight.
Sitting until long after 2 o'clock this
morning the lower lionise of the na
tional parliament set its seal upon the
first great work, the adoption of the
address in reply to Emperor Nicholas
speech from the throne at the winter
palace ,and setting forth the alms and
aspirations of Russia s millions.
Despite attacks both from the right
and from tho left, the leaders of the
constitutional Democratic party held
their followers together to the last and
the address was adopted substantial-
ly in the form in which was proposed
by the commission and as alieadj
telegraphed by the Associated Press.
After the address of the lower house,
in reply to the speech from the throne,
was adopted the house adjourned sub-
ject to the call of the president. After
the reading of the final draft M. Petia
jitsky took the rostrum and appealed
for a unanimous vote. Count Hayden
stated that he and his friends, though
approving of the address in general,
were unable to vote for certain details
and would withdraw in order that no
opposing voice might bo heard. He
then left the hall, followed by five
members. The address was thereupon
unanimously adopted.
President Mouromtseff was in-
structed to request an immediate audi-
ence with the emperor President
Mouromtseff will be accompanied by
several membersi of the commission
that drafted the address.
The amendment adopted Wednesday
and Thursday affect important details,
but do not change the general tenor of
the document, which extreme us it
may be in the eyes of the autocracy,
falls far short of the expectations of
the radicals. Time after time during
tho long three days of debate the ex-
tremists, with their undying hatred o
the whole ancient order, launchet
their fiery attacks against the mil
ness" of the various paragraph, only to
break against the firmness of the
restraint of the chiefs of tho party.
When the discussion had been finished
the deputies, with the exhortations of
the country to speedy action ringing
in their ears, ventured no further de-
lay ;and though they had been al-
ready in session fourteen hours, took a
recess until 2 o'clock this morning for
the reading and adoption of the final
draft of the address, instead of post-
poning this formality until the open-
ing of Friday's session.
As if running a race to see which
.should be the first to present to Em-
peror Nicholas a demand for amnesty,
the council of the empire also was in
session well into the early morning
hours discussing its address in reply
to the speech from the throne. This
document, -vhlch is far simpler and
more conservative than that of 110
lower house, proposes an amnesty
which does not include those who
coupled with political offenses the mur-
der or violation of property rights—in
other words, political assassins—or
participants in agrarian excesses.
The lower house's demand for am-
nesty, the kernel and most pressing
point in its address, was altered at tho
last moment by the commission itself,
which in resiponse to criticisms of in-
deflnlteness in tho expression "full
political amnesty** substituted "am-
nesty for all crimes committed from
religious or political motives as well
j as agrarian offenses." Tho commis-
sion also accepted a new clause to
meet the wishes of the discontented in
the army and navy, asking tho em-
peror to revise tho conditions of ser-
vice on tho basis of right and justice.
The Denver City Tramway and tho
Denver Gas and Electric company
twenty year franchises appear to havo
carried by small majorities, but e
Municipal Ownership league will con-
test those on the ground that tho bu -
lots of many non tax-paying voters for
them were accepted by tho judges.
The Northwestern Terminal railway
(Moffat road franchise was carried by
several thousand majority. Tho Den-
ver Municipal Traction, Denver Termi-
nal railway and Union Pacific fran-
chises were defeated.
Tho number of votes cast for tho
city ticket wvis 30,000 out of a total
registration of 53,000. About 15,000
votes on tho franchise were cast. Re-
turns from twenty-five of tho 211 pre-
cincts were missing at 9 o'clock this
morning.

Had Her Father A'rested and Then

New York, May 18.—Jack, a white
bull terrier, had . the reputation of
never letting go of anything he fasten-
ed his teeth in unless his master, a
Fordham 'man, bado him. Jack had
thrashed many of his kind in the pit
•and recently vanquished a bull terriei
in Albany and filled the pockets of his
owner and friends with good money.
A Tammany policeman who lives In
Highbridge thought so highly of his
terrier, Brindle, that he matched him
against Jack for $250 a side. Three
hundred men gathered at a roadhouse
in Fordham Saturday midnight. The
house is just .above tho Fordham road,
in the Bronx Park police precinct.
At tho first encounter Jack got a
splendid li Id of Brindle, and the white
dog's backers yelled enthusiastically
"that it was all over." To their in-
tense disguest Jack, who had never
before let go of anything, released his
hold and sneezed, "as if he'd sneeze
his bloody head off," said a man who
saw the fight. The same thing hap-
pened two or three times.
Then Jack's owner insisted that he
and his dog's handler should examine
Brindle. They soon discovered that
grease mixed with red pepper had
been rubbed into Brindle's hide.
With howls of rage the two factions
fell upon each other, whoever saw a
head hit it; there was a very pretty
melee until the combatants stopped
from sheer exhaustion. Then the
stakeholder refused to hand over tho
money to either backer, and they
agreed to fight the dogs again, with-
out red pepper, next Saturday night.
Lawton, Okla., May 18.—Zoulali

weeks later she wont before tho coun-
ty attorney and declared that she had

was not guilty, but that she desired
to lodge him in jail until sho could
elope with a United States soldier,
who planned to desert from tho army
post at Fort Sill. The soldier is eaul
to have slnco jilted hor. and this
culmination of her troubles caused her
to take her own lifo.
