COUISDON READY FOR SEA Captain Hardwick of Alliance Resigns Alumna Eacapea the Sands Olympia Will Supplant the Costa Rica Local Craft ana Craftsmen. The steamship Costa Rica, after beat ing around off the bar all night, entered this port yesterday morning on the early tide. She cornea from San Fran cisco in the place of the wrecked St. Paul and will make, it is thought, but this one trip. The strong nor'wester that was blow ing this morning when she docked jam med her into the dolphin at the west erly end of the O. R. & X. pier and she smashed two plates in Iter starlioard quarter and broke in the glass port for fifteen feet She was in command of Captain Kidston, who had on hi staff. First Officer Mason, Second Offi cer Charles .lohnson, (of this city,) Pur ser Hey wood and Steward Cooper, all of the St. Paul's service, also the stew ardess of the ill fated steamer. She had a small li of passenger! and scarcely any freight. She left up the river at 7::t0 o'clock a. m. She will lie succeeded on the next up run from San Francisco, so the Astorian is informed, by the chartered steam-hip Olympia. This vessel is in the cluss of the St. Paul, but heavier and longer (and without passenger accommodations to compare with the lost vessel), a will lie seen from the following statement of measurements: St. Paul Olympia length 2!W feet XIo feet Width 3S feet 3. 2 feet Depth 110 feet I'.U feet Horsepower 1' 2"" Crew 61 72 Built 1W 13 Built at San Francisco Glasgow By Way of Repisal.

She broached the sands with her starboard side and keel amidships, and the com pany alleged damages located on the ort side altout 20 feet abaft her bow, a discrepancy hardly chargeable to the grounding she underwent here. Hardwick Resigns. Captain K. M. Hardwick, for nine years ma-ter of the steamer Alliance, has re-igned his position, and will be succeeded by Bernard Kelly present master of the Aberdeen. Captain Hard wick has been with the Alliance from her launching, and had become to 1 looked upon by waterfront jieople as part of the vessel.

Ahlstrom on the regular run, arriv ing here Saturday. Captain Kelly will take over the Alliance Monday, when she leaves out for Kurcka and way ports again.

Captain Ahlstrom will take com mand of the Aberdeen after this week'. The Alierileen is due tomorrow from Needle Point, carrying a load of tan bark. Nenre.-But Nt Wind.
