Mr. II, Lee, Ml Exchange street, wa
tendered pleusant birthday aurprlse
yeaterday afternoon by ladle of the
Royal Neighbors. The afternoon proved
one of rare enjoyment, concluding with
refreshments, Those present were:
Mr. Kllaabeth nich, Mr. W. Werther,
Mr. May Houden, Mr. Mary Rosen
berg, Mrs.,W. Howard, Mr. Cora Mc
Cauley, Mr. Orace Dunn, Mr. Ine
Wealer, Mr. Teresa Mulugamba, Mr.
I. W. Hmlth and Mr. A. Johnson.
A report waa received from North
Head yeaterday morning that a dla
matted vessel waa In the offing. , On
account of the late slorma. the report
wa looked upon a Indicating the ar
rival off the Heads of om belpe
achooner, and shipping men were very
anxious to determine the Identity of
the supposed . wreck. Subsequent de
velopment proved the vessel to be the
oil steamer Asuncion, which Is pro
vided with fore and mainmast, but not
with a mlxxenmaat. She was mistaken
by the observer for a damaged vessel.
The statement that Charles Dahl,
H resident of Chinook, was probably
the victim of the mysterious drowning
accident at the foot of Tenth street
some weeks ago, I difficult to believe.
Chief Hullock states that he saw Dahl
after 9:30 on the night In question,
while the accident occurred between I
and 7. Dahl ha been missing since
that time, however, and can not be lo
cated. He had announced hi Inten
tion of going to Coo bay on the Alli
ance, but did not do so. He wa SO
yeur of age. The river should al
ready have given up the corpse pf the
unfortunate, but the body ha not been
found: nor ha the body of the young
man drowned at the foot of Ninth street
been reported.
Charles H. Abercromble yesterday
withdrew as the Republican candidate
for city attorney. He wa nominated
at the convention recently held, but
Ince thut time ho come to the con
clusion that, If elected, he would be
unable to successfully fill the . office
of deputy prosecuting attorney, which
he now holds, and the city attorneyship.
Aa he prefers remaining in hi pres
ent position, he has withdrawn from
the ticket. Mr. Abercromble' with
drawal wa handed In yesterday morn
ing to the city central committee, which
held a meeting last evening. Judge
Frank J. Taylor was decided upon as
the substitute candidate and he has
accepted the nomination.

Mrs. H. W. Dean left yesterday for
Vlsalla, Cal., on the steamship Co
lumbia. She will spend the winter In
California. Recently Mrs. Dean's fa
ther, William D. Jamea, a well-known
and prosperous resident of Visalla, fell
heir to a fortune of 1100,000. Mr.
Jamea waa a cousin of Mrs. Sarah B.
Potter, president of the Potter Chemi
cal ft Drug Company of Boston. , Mr.
Potter died, leaving a fortune of $3.
500,000., . Nearly all of this vast turn
was left to charitable Institutions, Mrs.
Potter having no nearer relatives than
coualns, of whom there are two, and
each received a gift of $ 100,000. The
company of which Mrs. Potter was
president la the manufacturer of the
cutlcura toilet articles, Mr. Jamea Is
80 years of age, but la still enjoying
excellent health. He la quite well-to-do
and for many yeara has been a promi
nent resident of California.
The master of the Norwegian steam
ship Viking, Captain Danlelson, per
haps unwittingly let It out yesterday
that his vessel would load steel rails
for her outward trip. It had been given
out that the Viking would take a lum
ber cargo from the sound, but when the
captain was approached and asked how
much lumber he would take he let slip
the statement that he was to . load
steel .Tails. Now, -steel rails are war
material in the far east Just at this
stage of the proceeding, so the Viking
will be taking a chance. She come
from Hokodate, Japan, and bring 750
tons of sulphur for Portland consignee.
When the Viking went into Hokodate
he steamed In without any particular
regard for harbor regulations, and her
master waa scolded for sailing over real
or Imaginary mine. Whether or not
Japanese harbor have been mined la
question. The Jap maintain patrol
and seek to create the Impression that
their harbors are mined, but many ves
sels arriving here have visited Jap
port and paid no heed to mines and
there ha not yet been an accident
Most of the mines are doubtless ficti
tious, although It Is well for masters
to obey harbor regulations.
