afternoon, and which was brought to
this city by the coroner, was not Identl
fled, and Interment was made, yester
day. Coroner Pohl went through the
clothing that was on the mm, but
there was nothing that would lead to
Identity. The coroner did not dem an
liiqutBt necessary, as there was nothing
to indlcato Unit th.e nmn had come to
his death by foul play. The fact that
there "were no murk of Identification
lends lo the conclusion that he was a
suicide.
TOJASTORIA IN A CANOE
OREGON CITY CLKKQYMAN, "AC
COMPANIED BY HIS POO, WILL
.TAKE, NOVEL VAOA
' .-- ,. TION TRIP. J ..
A special dispatch to the Cegoninn
from Oregon City says that Rev.
Frank II. Mlxwell, pastor of the First
I'r sbyttfii.ui church embarked on
Wednesday morning, accompanied only
by his faithful don, in a canoe mode
by himself, his objective point being
Astoria.
. The reverend gentleman carries w Ith
hhn provisions sufficient to Inst Mm
during the entire Journey. He will
camp out at night and ply the paddle
during the day. His trip contemplates
taking in all points of Interest on the
lower Columbia. ,.
Mr. Mlxwell personally superintend
ed the .construction of the canoe in
which the trip will be made. The
canoe Is of small dimensions ,ind inly
sufficient to accommodate tho small
passenger list that constituted its
cargo, -
Mimic war In alt tjie Intensity of the
real article, occasioned by the orders
Issued to the officers of the forts on
Puget sound and at the mouth of the
Columbia river to wath out for Ad
mlrsl Casey's fleet on Its return from
the Aleutian Islands," ha resulud in
the postponement" of the dance that
was to have been given by the ser
geants of Fort Stevens In ih post hall
on Saturday night until Saturday, Au
gust 2.
At the present time the army and
navy forces aw engaged fu maneuvers
at the mouth of the Colun bia river. It
Is known that Admiral Casey 'Meet,
which was dispatched to the" Aleutian
Isands to dlscovtr sites for coaling pur
poses, will seen return, but the exact
"Bate Is Indefinite, and the navy depart'
iiicnt bus decided to test the value of
the Puget sound forts, and, In fact, all
of the forts In the vicinity, by setting
them the task of locating the fleet on
It return. They will have to pick up
the fleet without any assistance what
ever, and n this wny the department
will determine the value of th fortl-
ttcatlons. " ' - fc
Heavy fogs are prevailing at the
present time over the entrance to the
straits. Experts have always con
tended that undr the protection of the
fog an enemy's lleet could slip by the
Puget sound forts unobserved and es
cape to the lower sound before the
alarm could be raised. The forts at
me mourn or me coiuinoia may
not feature In the experiment,
but the military are prepared.
which accounts for the tostponement
of the dance that was to have been
given by the gallant yowng sergeant
The soldiers at Forts Columbia and
Stevens are steeping" on rhelr arms
ready to meet an assault at any time.
It Is not known what ship or squadron
may appear, and at Fort Stevens,
where the guns are - removed . about
three-quarters of a mile from the fort.
the latter place Is practically deserted.
Everything- Is In readiness for a blood
less encounter, and much depends on
the outcome. -
Port Townsend, it Is thought will
Ixmofit by the maneuvers. The advaa
tuge to Port Townsend from a change
Is manifest from the fuct that Fort
Worden Is located adjacent to this
city. Port Townsend has beeu endeavor
ing to secure the chnngo for several
months, and the news that the effort
was to be made to locate the fleet of
Adn Iral Casey has led to the hope that
Worden jpay demonstrate its superior
ity.

ILWACO FISHERMEN IN TROU
BLE Contempt of court is the Charge
upon which nine fishermen of llwaco
were arrested by Sheriff honey of Pa
cific county, Washington, on Wednes
day. The contempt consists of "their
not heeding; an Injunction issued to
prohibit them from fishing on land
leased by J. B. Hockllss, on the south
side of Sand Island, In tho mouth of the
Columbia. That Is tlve language of
the dispatches covering the arrests.
The men arrested were Charles A. Da
vis. Ed R. Sahders, E. O. Hushes. 'it.
E. Bachou, A. H. Chaswell. William
Anderson, William Dawson and Albeit
Lassen. The first eight were operating
seines and I.aiser, was receiving fish
for both. The Injunction sought' by
Hockllss was granted In July, but the
men continued to tlsh and the warrant
for their arrest followed.

F. Hopklnson Smith in "The under
dog." . . - . ;
W. T. Chutter, who has been In Seat
tle for the past two months in the In
terests pt A. Booth sV Company, re
turned to the city yesterday. Mr.
Chutter Is Interested solely In the ship
ping of frsh fish, the company that be
represents being associated with the
Chlopeck Fish company. Recently E.
Chlopeck, president of the company,
was adjudged Insane and committed
to the asylum. This necessitated a
reorganization, which was accomplish
ed during Mr. Chutter stay In Seat
tle. Mr. Chutter was appointed presi
dent and manager of the company, w ith
headquarter at Keauie. He .nil go
there on or about August 17 and wlli
spend most of his time In the sound
metropolis during the continuance of
the present arrangement
While Mr. Chuttera interests rest
solely In the shipping of fresh fish, he
Is nevertheless In close touch with the
salmon Industry generally, and, having
been on the sound for so long a time,
Is in' a position to cite Interesting
facts In relation to the packing busi
ness of that section.
"The run of sockeyes." he said, "is
exceedingly light and while some can
ners are holding out In the hope of a
good run. the general opinion is that
while a spurt may brighten things up
somewhat, a really substantial In
crease will noj transpire.
The sockeye to the sound region is
what the chlnook Is to the Columbia,
and an abundance or deficiency of the
fish affects the two sections similarly.
Humpbacks and silver-sides have been
running quite freely, and In order to
save their Chinese contracts the can
nerymen may yet have to resort to
packing- these inferior grades. Pack
ers hesitate to do this, owing to the
market already being overstocked. The
price now being paid for sockeyes
varies from It to 21 cents.
The spring run of chlnook was quite
good. This fish compares favorably
with the royal Chinook, being of about
the same else. The color, however, is
not so good and the supply Is consid
erably less, so this pack la merely In
cidental, ',..'-
"There being n close season for
Washington, fish will doubtless be
taken until the latter part of the
month. Reports conflict, however, as
to the date for the end of the packing
season."

.KINGFISHER STUNNED
The corner window at Foard & Stokes
Co. Is fixed up with tlsh pictures, tea
and little, miniature boats so as to im
itate a river or pond. The thing must
have been very . realistic, as a king
fisher was seen diving tor the fish, but
the poor creature did not see the plate
glass and the consequence was a
stunned bird, which was picked up by
the employes, thinking he was dead.
He 'regained consciousness and is now
on exhibition at the store as a proof of
what high art decorating has come to,
