Purser Burleigh, cf the steamer
Lurline, will go to Portland on to
night's train.
Dr. Holt, the quarantine officer, re
ceived a telegram from San Fran
cisco yesterday informing him that
the certificate of the steam schooner
Cascade, was worthless, and on her
arrival here she will be boarded by
Dr. Holt, who will be guided by a
letter he will receive, confirming the
telegram, and giving further particu
lars. It is thought that the captain
violated some regulation of the serv
ice, and evidently forgot that there is
telegraph service to this port
The French bark Eugene Schneider
has cleared at Portland with 111,537
bushels of wheat, worth $107,610 for
Europe. She is due down the river
at any time.
The attempt to float the Claverdon,
early yesterday morning, did not meet
with success. .The tugs Wallula and
Tatoosh pulled at her, at high water,
but could not budge her and the at
tempt was abandoned. About 600
tons of wheat, part of her cargo, is
now on the barge Klickitat, which h
lying below the O. R. & N. Company
dock. It was thought that when this
amount was removed, that she could
be floated but the attempt proving
unsuccessful more of the cargo will
be unloaded. The steamer , Elmore
will be loaded to her capacity and
will dock the load, and return for an
other lot. Another attempt will then
be made to clear her when this addi
tional amount is unloaded.
On the trip the oil steamer Asun
cion made to the port, two months
ago, the captain of the steamer vio
lated the quarantine regulations and it
is reported that he did not show
proper respect to the quarantine
officer. Personally, Dr. Holt cares
little for the disrespect but his duty
compelled him to take cognizance of
the violation. He reported the mat
ter to Washington. Probably caused
by the slow system of handling such
maters at headquarters no returns
were made at the time the vessel was
here on her last trip, but when Capt.
Bridgett reached here Thursday he
was notified that the deputy collector
had some business with him. He call
ed on that official, Thursday night
and had a lengthy - interview. The
result will not be known until it is
made known from Washington.
