At two o'clovk yesterday the bar tug
Wallula and the Harvest Queen came
down by the city with the new Ham
mond raft that was ashore near West
port on Monday. The 8.000.000-foot
monster rode the channel water here
like a yacht, in the double cinch of
the powerful steamers that had her in
tow. The fine Hammond steamer. Fran
ces Leggett had arrived from San Fran
cisco early yesterday morning and was
moored at the "A. & C." dock await
ing the appearance of the huge sea-raft
and as soon as she entered the lower
bay, cut loose and went to hen making
fast her ocean towing gear and start
ing immediately for the bar with it
She, went over on the afternoon flood
in good shape, and if nothing happens

piling inside the Golden Gate within
the nest ten days.
went ahead so fast she nearly repeated
the oH-intion on the Ies stiumch frame
of the finei paenger liners llualN
moored up the pier, and nothing saved
the llassalo, but the real quality of
the Manila double "spring" with which
she was made fast. This warped the
sharp bows of the steamer out to the
stream and she made another and Mte
eessfnl try at "making fast." It was
verv interesting for a while, and if she
had got next to the llassalo. there would
have lieen another boat in that particu
lar service for some time to come.

The Costa Rica came in from San
Francisco yesterday morninjr about 6
o'clock and made for her moorings at
the 0. R. & N. pier. She came in on
the last of the ebb and approached the
dock nearly on slack-water, with a
sharp breeze from the northwest be
hind her; and unfortunately, missed
her bearings, and crashed into the
northwesterly comer of the pier, grind
ing out a nest of "dolpins" and cutting
a triangular slice out of the heavy pier
timbers, as clean as a section pf cheese
is ent from the original cake. Pullin?
out from this seVep foot gash, she

afternoons and that such students as
desire it, or whose parents desire it,
shall then be free to go to the chur

religious instruction without loss of pub

"It is our Catholic position that re-1

it is vNonary that theie can be moral

today savs
The belief that affairs are shaping
themselves for an official strike of the

demand for the small steam sizes of

ward tendency in prices. President Raer

New York todav, it was said last even
ing, and will nave a talk' over tlie coal

other coal carrying roads.
Representatives of the soft coal oper
ators in Clearfield, Pa., said yesterday
that though the Clearfield operators did
not make a settlement with the union
and the suspension of work still con
tinues there, it is not unlikely that a
settlement will be made with the union
if President Mitchell does not accept
the terms of the anthracite operators
and an anthracite strike is officially declared.
