(The new contained in the above
dispatch, which was received last night
by The Astorian, will be gratifying ta
the people of this city. The work of
converting the Grant into an ocean
dredge has been carried on with unus
ual slowness and there has been some
dissatisfaction as a consequence, re

netted satisfactory replies, but It would
