OvcrJne Coasters.
A ;westorlj' wind blew In from the ocean
yesterday: Snd with It came another fleet
of saillne vessels to swell the list In
port pretty close to record proportions.
The list In port was Increased Sunday by
the arrival of the Lucipara and the Dora,
and yesterday he Scottlsn Isles, Tar
penbek and Inchcape Rock crossed in.
The Scottish Isles made a very fast trip
from IUo, but there was nothing very
iart with either or the other ships. The
Jle.t in port now consists of 26- ships of
aicarly EOOO0 tons net register, and having
a carrying capBcity of 3.0(X),OGiO bushels of
wheat. Some of them are ready for sea,
and will pass out at the first opportunity,
but, as there Is at least half a dozen
other vessels fully due to take their
places, the now year and new century will
ilnJ the .largest fleet of the season in
port.
Of the late arrivals in the river, the
Xika and the Lucipara are on the way up
the river; the Muskoka, General Mllllnet,
JVrdencraig, Marlon Llghtboay, Langdale,
Hcrzogln Sophie Charlotte, XKinsyre and
Astracana are at Astoria outward bound.
The Pax, Louis Pasteur and Ellbok are
loaded and ready to leave down, and the
Ching Wo And Alsterurer are finishing,
and will be ready to clear "Wednesday,
Trlth the C. H. "Watjen and French bark
-Alice slated to finish by the latter part of
the week. The German ship Alice will
also finish before the end of the year.
Slany of the ships now In port made long
passages, and this prevented their getting
out In time to figure in the December
fleet, but it will Insure the new year
starting off under highly favorable cir
cumstances. TO OUTFIT SHIPS.

half,-mast on account oX the death of
F. G. Reginalo, a fireman, which oc
curred yesterday while the vessel was off
Destruction Island. The man had been
suffering with chronic dysentery for sev
eral weeks and it was the intention of
the captain to place him in the hospital
here. He was a native of Italy, joined

thought he had any relatives in this
country. The local health officers di
rected that the body be buried "here.

Captain Gunderson, the bar pilot, who
brought the Italian ship Dora in yester
day", tells an Interesting story about the
condition that she was In. He boarded her
about 9 o'clock yesterday and the rap
tain immediately, Ipvitod him into the
cabin for breakfast. . It consisted of coffee
without sugar and some hard tack. At
noon the bill of fare was the same and
et supper It was varied with macaroni
and molasses. Ho then learned from the
captain for the first time mat the vessel
was short of provisions and therefore
took an extra chanco to get inside last
night.

From Ilonj? ICortR.
TAOOMA. "Wash., Dec 24. The British
bark Queen Margaret reached Tacoma to
night. 51 days out from Hong Kong, to
the Cape, after having encountered se
verer gales than Captain Logle ever heard
reported. Captain Logie sighted the
Cape a week ago, and from that day until
last Saturday he was forced to beat
around outside waiting an abatement of
the storms to enter the Straits. Saturday
proved moderate, and the Queen Mar
garet sailed through. The British ship
Rathdown sailed from Yokohama a week
ahead of the Queen Margaret from Hong
Kong, and Captain Logic expressed grave
fears of her safety. The Rathdown Is
now 81 days out from Yokohama. Being
lightly ladentlt Is feared that the ship
went down In one of the terrible storms
which have been raging.

today for Queenstown with 132,996 bushels
of wheat. The British bark St. Mary's
Bay. also cleared, with CS.O bushels of

ASTORIA, Or.. Doc. 24. The British
chip Inchcape Rock, whlcn arrived this
afternoon from Shanghai, came In under
command of First Mate R. W. "Williams,
and reports that Captain James Porter,
master of the vessel, mysteriously disap
peared on the night of December 20. He
had been complaining of feeling ill for
several days, but had attended to all
his duties. During the first watch on the
night of the captain's disappearance the
mite left him. in the cabin and went on
deck. .Returning about three-quarters of
an hour later, he found the captain had
dlsippeared, and no trace of him has been
seen Jlnce.
Captain Porter's rubber coat and boots
were also missing, and It is supposed he
Tvent on deck and either fell or Jumped
overboard. The passage from Shanghai
up to that time had not been bad, but
Captain Porter feared It would be, and
on the day he disappeared It was an
nounced that the provisions were short,
and the crew was placed on rations of
three biscuits per day each. Mate Will
iams brought the vessel Into port with
out accident.
NEEDLESS ALARM.
San Francisco Brokers Qnote Rein
surance on Ships Not Due.
The San Francisco reinsurance specu
lators are still quoting high rates on a
number of ships which are not fully due.
Tl'ey'had the Queen Margaret up to 10
per cent last Saturday, although the ves
sel was in port on the Sound at that time.
Out of about a dozen vessels on which
they ha"vc quoted reinsurance fa San
Francisco this season, but one lone ship,
the Rathdown. has failed to arrive, and'
even this vessel Is not a hopeless case.
The Castle Rock, whloh sailed from Hong
Kong two days later than the Queen
Margaret, is now. -quoted at 15 per. cent
reinsurance, and by the time she is fully
due at Royal Roads the brokers wIJl
probably have her up to 25 per cent. The
San Francisco papers wore quoting 20 and
25 per cent reinsuranco on UicAlsterdam
two wecka after the vessel was -safe' In
Yokohama harbor.

She Is of 3575 tons gross and 22SS tons net

pound type, with cylinders 235x39 and 66
Inch diameter of cylinder, by 45 Inches
stroke. The Saint Bede will be loaded
ahead of the Thyra, which arrived sev

Chilean Whaler in Trouble.
The Chilean steam whaler Fearless put
Into Coos Bay, Tuesday, for provisions,
water and coal, says the Coqullle Herala.
The crew were in a destitute condition,
having been out from Unalaska 32 days,
and for many days previous to her ar
rival In the bay the crew managed to llvo
by eating sea gulls. The coal supplymust
surely have become exhausted shortly
after leaving Alaskan waters, and tht
heavy winds probably carried the craft
to sea, leaving her no mode of reaching a
port except by the use of her few sails.
Most of the crew deserted the ship at
Marshflcld.
The cargo was a very valuable one to
the owners, as a big catch of seals was
made, but as the men only share in the
whale catch, they fared very poorly. They
had about 000 pounds of whalebone.
A native of the far north was brought
down, and when he landed In Marshficld
he saw the first trr-e in his life. A crew,
will be picked up In Marshfleld to take
the boat to San Francisco. The Fearless
sailed from San Francisco about 2:
months ago, and at one time fears were
entertained for her safety.

Commercial and Financial News
All of the stock and grain exchanges
in this country and Europe were closed
yesterday, r apd. accordingly there was
nothing doing In the commodity which Is
the principal factor In trade In this coun
try. The holiday rush was still on, al
though the wholesalers enjoyed a breath
ing spell towards evening, leaving the re
tailers to fight It out. The retail trade
was the heaviest on record In this city,
and If the orders from, the country are a
criterion there will be no complaints from
that direction. There was considerable
activity in the poultry markets yester
day, and the clean-up was better than'
was expected. Retailers neld off until
late Saturday, and some or them did not
buy until yesterday morning. There was
apparently enough Oregon turkeys to go
round, for the Eastern were nearly all
put In cold storage as roon as tney ar
rived. The bulk of the best stock offer
ing yesterday was sold at about 13 cents,
with an occasional lot of .large birds
bringing more money and some ordinary
stock selling down as low as 10 cents.
The warning sent out last week stopped
the heavy receipts of chickens, and the
market was left In gooa shape at the
close of business. The San Francisco
steamer arriving Saturday evening
brought considerable fruit and garden
truck, but It cleaned up so "well that the
street was bare before noon yesterday.
