When 300 Elks are gathered to gether for the sole, and always ad mirable, purpose of having fun, clean, wholesome, and genuine fun, there are none to say them nay, nor to doubt that they get it all out of the host that so contributes. This was the case last night, when Astoria Lodge, No. 180, B. P. O. E., gave its Irish Social" in honor of St Pat rick's Day. There were 289 of the home lodge in the assembly to act as hosts to a short "Baker's Dozen" down from Portland; and the meas- ..... . are ot nospitaiity kept even pace with the discrepancy in the figures; the 289 forgot nothing that' might add an atom of delight to the night's ex- Wnnrc nf ttiA tntrnnsi1itaffi nil. grans; at least, that is the unbiased opinion of Messrs. Henry C Griffin, John Buntin, John Kelly, James An derson, W. W. Moore, C E. French, W. H. Barry, W. L. Bayer, Andrew Frieberg, and John DriscolL The handsome hall in Odd Fellows' building was appropriately decorated with huge shamrocks and dudeens, and green was the master-color of the place and hour. Nearly every man of them was done up in Irish costume, ranging from the navy to the squire and "the hat me fa'ther wore" was in evidence everywhere. Henry Griffin, of Portland, the arch fun-maker of the metropolis, presid td as "police judge," while Frank Carney, the "Earl of Sligo", did duty as clerk of the "coort"; these two, with a force of cops, some 20 strong, did a rushing business and the fines were numerous and covered the en tire gamut of real and alleged of- nr., . e . i.ua9. a uc iuii was lasi dnu luriuus and provocation of endless hilarity, and the humor of the moment was rich with jokes applicable to the day and the nationality these jolly fellows stood for. At a little after 11 oclock, "Judge" Griffin demanded the attention of the house and got it, while, in a neat and feeling speech, he presented to the Astoria lodge a memento sent down from their brethren of Portland lodge, a beautiful white case containing IS clay pipes, softly imbedded in green velvet, eight of them in a row bear ing, in green, the letters P-O-R-T-L-A-N-D; the second row of seven so branded with the letters A-S-T-O-R-t-A," each row being finished by a cute little plug hat, acting as periods to the lines. It was enthusiastically received by the home Elks and Ex alted Ruler John McCue, feelingly and yet humorously, acknowledged the dainty and appropriate gift.

ADMIRAL EVANS TO RETIRE. We started with half a million pounds of potatoes which supply was exhausted at Punta Arenas . We is sued the last 40,000 pounds there From there to Calloa the crews were rationed with de hydrated or dried vegetables, which were found to be most satisfactory. At Calloa we took on 230,000 pounds of potatoes which lasted until we reached Magdalena. j Here the Buffalo met us with 200 tons more. This will last ten day until the Culgoa can get here from San Diego where she was sent from Calloa with orders to take on stores and return here. She will give us enough fresh provisions to last until we arrive at our final destination at San Francisco. The trip has demonstrated that Large practice will occupy prob ably three weeks. There will be no battle practice, that being held In the full of the year, Preliminary practice is limited to two ship, the Kansas and the Vermont which have not yet fired uH of their guns in practice All wilt engage in record target practice. There will be four ranges, four ships tiring at a time. The rafts for the targets were finished this afternoon and were being towed out to the grounds to the southeast of where the squadron is anchored. Yester day ami to-day three or four of the ships, including the Georgia, Rhode Island, Kansas and Vermont were on the range laying out the lines and an choring buoys for the attachment of the targets and for the guidance of the ships. The frames of the targets will be put in place in the morning. The shooting will then begin. It is likely that the fleet will leave here between April S and April 10. Stops willbe made at San Diego, Los Angeles ports, Santa Barbara, and Santa Crua, At Los Angeles ports, where the fleets will be divided into divisions of four ships each to be anchored off Long Beach, San Pedro, Redondo, and Venice-Ocean Park, and Santa Monica, it is not unlikely that the fleet first will steam in single , line formation up the coast along the line of the various ports and then divide This would make a splendid naval pageant which might be enjoyed by the people of those cities. Again, upon departure the fleet probably will form in single column and sail north, repeating the parade. A simultane ous salute, such as was given in some of the South American ports, may be fired. The town of Magdalena has not grown to any appreciable extent be cause of the fleet's visit. It is about the same size that it has been for years past. It consists of a row of small one and two story white-wash ed houses, located on the northern shore of what is known as Man-of- war Cove. The houses , set back from the beach some SO feet and ex tend for perhaps 1,000 yards along the shore. Mr. Heney, a cousin of Francis J.

NOT IN WORDS, BUT IN DEEDS. HAUTALA & RAITANEN Tailors, Comer Eleventh and Bond Streets SAN FRANCISCO, March 17. A the Atlantic fleet can go to any part special dispatch from San Diego says of the world if coal is provided. The news of an announcement today by rest will be easy. I may say that all taken together, the men and officers of the fleet have not regarded the cruise in the same remarkable sense that the general public has. With them it merely has been a day's work nothing more. However, they are all gratified at the successful conclu sion of the cruise to date. It merely confirms our expectation." Much disappointment is expressed throughout the fleet over the failure of the expedition to rescue the Ameri can sailor Jeffs from Indefatigable Island. The fleet passed within about forty miles of the island and the tender Yankton was sent in to make the search. The landing party from the tender searched all habitable portions of the island for two days. Remains of camp fires were found in several parts but no trace of the sail er was discovered. In one place a razor was found with Jeff's initials on it. It is the belief of the men on the Yankton that the marooned sailor has been rescued by' some passing vessel. Search was made of every possible place where the man could have concealed himself before perish ing, but it was without result. The Yankton proceeded to Acapulce and is expected to reach. Magdalena the first part of next week. mally about 1 15 people in the place. On these ranches horses and cattle are reared. Cattle are killed for local consumption. Water is the great problem. Ordinarily it is brought from many miles inland and fre quently is furnished to Mr. Heney by the war ships in the harbor. The ships convert the salt water into fresh and afford an adequate supply. The day before the arrival of the Atlantic fleet the Steamer Curacoa from La Paz landed 26 Mexicans at Magdalena and the question of food and water for them was a serious pro blem. Mr. Heney solved it by secur ing a supply from the ships. Gov. Sanginez and his official party are quartered at Mr. Heney's residence which is the most pretentions in the place. Within the past two days two or three new buildings of a temporary nature have sprung up along the beach and are being used by Mexican venders. "news values" which one finds in every trained and efficient city editor. It was on the strength of tlii knowledge that this bootblack went one day to a well known wholesale liquor dealer on the East Side and proposed that he should establish him a saloon on the lower Bowery, The liquor dealer was aghast at his pre sumption until he learned his scheme Then he capitulated at once, and within a few days' the papers had been signed and a twenty-four hours' option secured on rickety and, from nearly every Imaginable point of view, undesirable premises, near Canal Street, and directly under the noisiest and dustiest and oiliest part of the elevated railroad. This done, the bootblack made his way to the very center of the Brooklyn Bridge, climb e dhastily to the top of the parapet, and, heedless of the warning shouts of a pantingop, dropped into the seething water below. It was an unknown youth, with an earning capacity of a few dollars a week, who disappeared beneath the surface of the East River, but it was an enterprising young man, an East Side celebrity in fact, all ready for the divine oil of publicity, and with an assured income and possible fort une in his grasp, whose note reap peared very shortly above the muddy surface of the waters and who was helped by willing and officious hands into a rowboat where dry clothing awaited him, together with hearty congratulations on the fact that he alone, of all those who had attempted to jump the bridge, had escaped with his life. The next day the name of Steve Brodie was flashed from one end of the country to the other, and within a very few hours after his dis- chrage from custody he was arrest ed on the charge of trying to take his own life he was standing behind his own bar, serving drinks to the crowds who came to gape at Steve Brodie, the bridge-jumper, and to pour their money into his coffers.
