Wholesale robberies of loaded wheat cars standing In the yards at Tacoma and on sidings between that city and Ellensburg have been frequent during the past few weeks. The total loss to grain men will probably reach several hundreds of dollars and It Is not proba bly that the full extent of the depre dations will ever be known. The ear lier thefts of wheat were scarcely worth noticing, but recently the rob bers have become bolder. Grain has been carried away from the trains by the wagon load, not only In the sub urb, but In the certer of the city. A many as fifteen or sixteen sacks of wheat have disappeared from a single car during the night and tracks of a wagon shewed the method of operation. The Tacoma News of Friday says the new battleship Wisconsin was safe ly docked at ( the Puget sound naval station at Port Orchard yesterday af ternoon at K o'clock, and by 7 o'clock the men had cleaned the barnacles from her hull, which had become foul from the long anchorage of fourteen months In San Francisco harbor await ing her armor and guns.

Pillsbury Is cap tain and navigator of the bis; war ves sel prior to her being acepted by the government. Irving M.

Sheriff J. W. Sewell, of Hlllsboro, has been made the defendant In an action for 2500 dam ages, recently commenced In the cir cuit court by Chin Sing, a Chinaman. It appears that the sheriff, armed with a writ of attachment against David uempteo .evy on some pumping machinery held by the China-1. man under a lease, and sold the same A few days after the sale the sheriff entered the building In which the prop erty was kept, and delivered the pos session of the property to the pur chaser. It Is claimed that the ma chinery was a part of the realty, and the officer had no authority to make the levy and sale. The case will be heard at the November term of court The latest development growing out of the present troubles between the sailor boarding-house masters and the shipowners Is that the governments of the United States and Great Britain are considering them through diplo matic channels. The Shipowners Asso ciation of Liverpool has presented the matter to the foregn office of that country and In turn It has been brought to the attention of the British ambas sador to the United States. He Is col lecting facts and figures Including cer tified copies of the records of the courts of Astoria and Portland ' in which the sailor question has been brought before them recently. When these are received by the British am bassador at Washington he will pre sent them to Secretary of State Hay with the request that the laws of this county with reference to sailors be en forced on the Columbia river. . ' Recent Manila nanern tell a story of brutality on the part of officer of the Forty-fifth volunteer Infantry which Involves Captain James tf, Ross,' of Tacoma, The practices, for which the oUcers are censured, are said to be In vogue at Nueva Coccres, a point In Southern Luxon, where Captain Ross Is stationed. The charges are not so se vere against Captain Ron a against Cuptaln Simpson, chief quarteTmastei of the Third Division, Luzon Island Captain Simpson Is said to have been the Instigator of the abuses which were practiced. It Is charged, though, In particular, that Captain James II. Ross ordered a prisoner put in stocks and kept there for eight days. Injustlc to other prisoner I also alleged. Vol unteer wiw .served with him and hi many friend around Tacoma refused to believe Captain Ross guilty of th charge and say that he Is even Urn pered and of an unusually friendly disposition. lt evening' Telegram say Martin Hoven, of this city, and D. A. Young, of Astoria, two young men well known In the vicinity, hsve Just returned from Alaska In the employ of the Alanka Packers' Association, and registered last night at the Belvedere, "The pack this year in the three canneries located In Bristol bay. where we were," ald Mr. Hoven, "was the best they have had for some time. Each of the can nerles packed from 60,000 to 85.000 cases The salmon were ;mnnlng for about two weeks, and they were thick, tod. The fishermen, who ere paid 2 cents apiece for red salmon, had to be re strlcted to 1209 fish a day, as the can nerles could use no more. The fish .-rmen wnraeo nara. putting two or three days In one, during the 14 days the salmon w-re unnlng. but they made about t'-OO a piece, so they were satisfied. In the cannery In which was employed there were 100 white men and 145 Chinamen. The steamer Samoa, which had such an exciting experience In northern wa ters about which so many stories have been written, arrived at San Francisco on Friday. Her official refuse to dis cuss the affair at any great length They aaj" that a great deal of trouble was experienced that Involve large In terests and that International compll cations might follow. The loss to the English stockholders of the Eastern Siberian syndicate will reach nearly a quarter of a million. The Samoa went north last June, having on board number of English and Ajnerlcan min ing engineers, and Russian miners, who had an imperial edict granting them permission to dig gold on Siberian shore. When the Asiatic coast was reached trouble arose between the Rus sians on the one hand and Americans and English on the otlver. While the Russian were asleep one night Captain Johnson headed the craft for Cape Nome, locked up the subjects of the czar and held them until safe at an American port The Americans remain ed ai nome ana tne Kussians were sent back to Siberia, Colonel Evans, of the treasury department, was sent ajong to see .mat no overt act was committed. In spite of his presence, however. It Is charged that the Samoa was looted of her cargo, provisions and 220,000 in gold dust Some of the facts regarding the Im mense tunnel recently built through the Cascades on the line of the Gre-it Northern railroad, are Interesting. The tunnel Is 53 feet over two and one-half miles In length and will cost, when completed, not far from 24.000.000. On It there were aproxlmately 800 men employed for nearly three whole years. They cut the tunnel from both ends at once, and the progress through the solid rock averaged about eight feet for every working day for each gang of workmen. It therefore required 60 men one working day to cut one foot of the tunnel. So veil was the work plannea that he difference In align ment was only about one-fourth of an Inch, while the error In the grade was but 24 Inches. It Is 18 feet high and 10 feet wide, and the entire Interior Is lined with cement, some of which was brought frcss Germany to use in the construction. The rocks that were blown from the big hole were ground Into powder and mixed with cement. Something new in the way of railroading In the West will be brought Into requl sltlon when trains get to running through the tunnel. The steam loco- mrktlvea will tint now thMnffh .h. bore but R e,eetrlc , , v. ,rm Ana , lh. This Is made necessary on account of the coal ioke from the locomotive, The absence of a sufficient current of air would leave the tunnel perpetually filled with smoke, that would be suf focatlng to trainmen and passengers alike. - SOCIETY NOTES.
