The Nesala dragged her anchor and In doing so drifted over the anchor of the Itritlsher. Whether or not she struck one of Lhe fluke of the hook was not determined. Out she was damaged above the waterllne. It is customary when accident of the kind occur to hold a survey, but her muster Ignored well established cus toms and put to sea, even Ignorl ik the request of Lloyd's agent here that he cull at the office. The action of the Nesala' mnster will have the effect of Invalidating the Insurance on vessel and cargo. In a letter to Samuel Elmore; Colonel U. W.

PERSONAL MENTION Alfred Tucker, manager for Meyer, Wilson & Co., who made an Investiga tion of the damage done to the British steamship OlenessMn, says.tho ti'ouble wn undoubtedly caused by one cf the sailors trying to broach the cargo. When an Investigation wag made. It wa found that a passageway had been made from the fore hatch to a point near the main hatch, where the canned goodg nre stored. It was these arti cles that the gnllor wa after In order to Improve hi bill of tare. He had removed a row of grain sack just wide enough to allow him to worm his way along under the deck, A burnt match found In the passage showed where he got his light. It I presumed that, In some manner, he set Are to the burlap overhead, and, seeing what he had done, hastily crawled out and gave the alarm. The , crew of the Gleneulln, headed by the two mate, worked like beaver In putting out the fire with wet cloth. Both the officer were everely burned In their effort. Mrs. Chits. Swope la In Portland.

SHORT SESSION. . , Livestock Association Listens to Sen ator Harris of Kansas. KANSAS CITY. Mo., Jan. 14.-Ad- dresse occupied the short session of the National Livestock association to day. , Among the speaker wa W. A. Har ris, United States senator from Kan sas, who gpoka on "The Louisiana Pur chase Exposition, and What It Will Do for the Livestock Industry." Steps looking to the establishment of a new home for the Push club were taken at last night' meeting of that organization. The mutter wa called up by Albert Dunbar, who expressed the belief that the Push club should get on one of It old-time hustling ex peditions. He thought a permanent exhibit should be made at some uptown location, where visitor to the city could be shown the resources of the county ani their Interests looked after by the secretary In charge. The extension of settlers' rate to As toria makes necessary the establish ment of a bureau of imn.lgratiu., and It Is the Intention that the new home of the local commercial bodies shall be aluo a headquarter for the commercial intcttsts of the city. An excellent ex hibit could easily be made, at slight ex pense and great benefit would be deriv ed. It would, of course, be essential to employ a permanent secretary. The mutter has been referred to the board of directors of the club, who will pre sent their report at a meeting to be held two weeks hence, on the 28th. The chamber of commerce will be consulted. as it is presumed both bodies would wish to cooperate. The matter of the establishment of an independent steamer line to Ilwaco and Chinook was also called up. ' The members expressed the opinion that a merchants' line to the lower north shore points would be quite a sue. cessful as the upper river line, and the Idea met with much favor. A commit tee consisting of P. B. Sovey, F. L Parker and Martin Foard wa appoint ed to woik with tKe transportation committee In an Investigation of the merit of the proposal, and to report at the next meeting. It wa reported to the club that city official were authority for the state' mont that there wa no park fund. At a recent city election a levy of one-half a mill wa voted for park purposes and the money wa collected. - According to statements at ,ast night' meeting. the fund was never set apart. Presi' dent Allen named R. C. Lee, T. S. Cornelius and P. B. Sovey a a com mlttee to look up this matter and de. terinine why there is no fund. In calling ths mating to order last night President Allen made some In teresting remarks concerning the fu lure of the club. He urged upon the members the need of united and de termlned action In all matters affecting the commercial Interests of the city and said that the club could accomplish much good if the old-time spirit wer manifested.
