The steamers R. Miler and General
Washington, the Deep River packets
whose owners are contending for
that traffic to and from Astoria, in
snappy rivalry, yesterday forenoon
managed to come together, with a
flam, out in the middle of the bay,
the Miler catching the Washington
on the pert side aft and hammering
her up some, but not enough to put
her out of commission. The real
facts of the case are indeterminable
short of an official inquiry, but the
Miler claims to have had the right of
way and to have been blameless in
the premises; but it may be said in
passing that reckless work on the
water is likely to involve the life of
an innocent traveler at any time, and
if that happens, in this relation,
somebody will go out of business
for awhile, at least, as the maritime
law of the country takes sharp cog
nizance of collisions as a dangerous
fracture of the code.

The steamer Sue H. Elmore made
it out over the bar yesterday, bound
for lillamook Bay points.
The Elmore motor schooner Ger
ald C, was another get-away for the
Tillamook coast yesterday, leaving
out behind the Elmore.
The motor sloop Delia, laden with
general merchandise, made use of the
summer-like bar that offered yester
day, and skipped away for the Nes
tucca coast.
The sea tug Geo. R. Vosburg went
to sea and the Nehalem yesterday
along with the other small-fry, laden
with mill machinery and fixtures in
kind, to perfect the running of the
mills down there which are now at
work.
The fine steam schooner Shna Yak
came down the river yesterday after
noon and went to sea, lumber laden,
for San Diego.
The crew of the Simpson barken-
tine Echo, just in from Callao, was
Daid off yesterday at the office of the
Collector of the Port, there being 11
men in the outfit.
The fine four-masted schooner
Matthew TurneY hauled into the
stream yesterday from the Tongue
Point mill dock, and Customs Inspec
tor Allen Y. Anderson went aboard
and swore in her new crew. She
will sail for Arica, Chili, today or
tomorrow.
Captain Schumacker, of the Ger
man ship Alsterkamp, which was
fined in the sum of $5000, on Monday
last, for being without U. S. consular
bills of health on her arrival here
from Caleta Coloso, the sub-port of
Antofogasta, Chili, has prepared and
filed a formal protest with Acting Col
lector of Customs F. L. Parker, the
main allegation of which is that he
was unaware of the necessity of se
curing American bills of health when
supplied with bills from other con
sulates. The flagship of the light-house
tender fleet in this port, the hand
some Armeria, Captain William E.
Gregory was busy out around the
bar yesterday overhauling the buoys
in that neighborhood.
