R. & N. piers in this port, having been delivered to that company, by Captain William Bailey, of the tug Tatoosh, yesterday morn ing at 11 o'clock. . After fastening to the derelict on Tuesday afternoon, the captain never let go of hee- until he had her where he started for, the company's docks and property, and ..there she is, stir ject to what of law may be invoked to ' determine her ownership, value," salvage, or other mooted problem ' known within the range of the ad miralty laws of the country. She is flush with waters of the bay; her upepr deck is partly afloat, and she is badly hammered "around the edges; her fixtures, iron and wooden, are all swept from the main deck and slie is drawing all the water she can and stay in sight; she is on an even keel, a circumstance that has not been recorded of her since she en tered port on the hawsers of the ' steamer Washington, which took her from the high seas. The three-masted schooner W. F. Jewett, from San Diego, for this port entered this harbor under her own canvas yesterday morning and sailed to her anchorage in fine style. She reports that when in latitude 42:48 north and longitude 138:54 west she spoke the schooner Manila and found all hands well and hearty; this on the 25th instant. The steamer Alliance, which arriv ed in last evening from Coos, reports passing the last Benson log raft out of this port, at a point eight miles south of Yaquina light and 10 miles at sea, at 3:15 o'clock yesterday morning.

The Elmore motor vessel Evie, with plenty of cargo on board will depart out for the Umpqua river at 8 o'clock this morning if all goes well with her. She has not been doing much of late, or since her trawling experiences, but will probably be kept busy the rest of the salmon season. The Spencer continues to do busi ness at the old stand. When she went up yesterday, she took, as among her passengers, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Ryan, who for the past year or more have made Astoria their home, and are now returning fo their old home in Salem. . The steamer Alliance arrived in from Coos Bay points at 6 o'clock last evening and docked at the Cal ender with a big load of freight and long list of passengers. She went on up the river without much delay here. The Lurline is doing the same old and steady stunt of- the years, and went back to Portland with plenty of business last evening, at 7 o'clock. The steamer Eureka arrived in last evening from Eureka and Coos Bay and went directly on to Portland.

The honk of the horns on the moving press of auto mobiles is slowly being waved down by Bingham's men, however, and this with the omnipresent flat car-wheel has always led the chorus of madden ing racket in the metropolis. With an urgent demand for several million dollars worth of top soil to keep his. Central Park alive,. Father Knickerbocker is to-day wondering whether farming really pays. Sixty years ago this great breathing space for Manhattan Island was reserved and its rocky surface scraped of shan ties, stables and cobbles to lay an el aborate series of landscape gardening effects. Trees, grass and shrubs have sprung up, grown and died over the large expanse of "thin surface soil, un til to-day no nourishment for green things remains above the hard under laver of rock. At least six inches of rich soil must now be laid over ev ery square foot of the square miles of the big playground and low estimates figure the cost of this alone at some thing near $3,000,000. The only alter native is admitted to be the death of everv living tntng mat graces tue broad lawns and avenues; so the tax payer is bracing himself against a sweeping bill for gardening next fall. Fitfully flitting in swarms of mil lions, the great horde of moths that descended upon Manhattan early this Genuine grief is spread over all the town to-day as the brave Bishop Pot ter is laid to rest after the long fight to prolong his most useful of lives It will be many a long year before the people of New York City will find another such a man, to whom they can turn in common to solve the big hu man problems. The great sound sense of Grovcr Cleveland and of Bishop Potter alike have formed two grest bulwarks in the public appeal and clamor of the times. Now that the counsel of both giant publ'cists is forever lost, a sad void is felt in a community where really great men are needed. Now that a new office mammoth is projected to cap the sky line, a thou sand feet from curb to cornice, the veteran fire-fighters of this sprouting town arc to-day at a loss to figure on a water pressure equal to the enor mous height of the skyward struc ture. Tests just completed have shown that a fire quenching stream may be flung well within the win dows of the seventeenth story of the modern skyscraper, but above this the forces on the street appear power less. Just what steps will be taken to keep upshooting Manhattan with in reach of its fire department can not be determined at present. At this rate of upward growth, however, thing smust be revolutionized in ev ery way within a few years.

Jaloffs, The Style Store f Miss Mabel McCausland, Whose Con fession Led To Several Arrests, Re peats Her Story Of The Alleged Conspiracy to Create Evidence. NEW YORK, July 29-I-rank J. Gould, the millionaire, was put through a sharp examination last night when he was placed on the wit ness stand by the defense in the al leged conspiracy plot to manufacture divorce evidence against him. He was questioned at length as to his ac quaintance with Miss Bessie Devoe, whose name has figured in the case but the most damaging admission the lawyers could draw from him was the fact that he had met Miss Devoe and knew who she was. Decision will be handed down Friday morning. A special session was held to take the testimony of Mr. Gould. Miss Mabel MacCausland, the milliner's ap prentice, whose story led to the ar rest of Mrs. Teal Miss Fleming and Detective Mossley, took the stand and repeated the story of the alleged con spiracy. Miss MacCausland main tained that it was Mrs. Teal who brought up the subject and sugges ted that she make an affadavit that she had seen Gould with Miss Devoe in the apartment that Miss Devoe rented. On cross examination she admit ted that she was known in the apart ment house and that she was known by the name of Conklin, and that she had applied to Mrs. Teal for a posi tion under the name of Miss Winton, and that she had applied for another position on the stage under the name of Mabel Dimond, which she said was her middle name. President Jordan Says Fish Commis sion Must Prevent It NEW YORK. July 29.-The killing of fish by the pollution of the waters in which they feed and spawn hat be come a matter for international con sideration. This is the opinion of Dr, David Starr Jordan president of Lc land Stanford University, who is i member of the international fisheries commission. In a letter to Edward Hatch Jr., of New York, thanking him for information which the commis sion had requested as to the discharge into rivers of waste products from pulp mills Dr. Jordan says: "It seems to me that the pollution of international waters is a matter which our commission must take very seri ously. We shall provide adequate means for enforcing whatever statute are adopted. The New York statute seems to cover the ground very well, but I am told it is nt enforced against the great pulp mill corporations" COWS ARE TUBERCULAR.
