KELTON BEACHED AT O. R. ft

FROM COOS BAY SCHOONER
W. F. JEWETT ARRIVES IN.
I he steamer Minnie h. Kelton is
cow safely beached at the eastern
end of the O. 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 Dauntless and her big
tow were making good progress.

a general cargo for the Orient, and
she went below and crossed out at
noon, bound for Hong Kong and
Shanghai, v .
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.

With an urgent demand for several
million dollars worth of top soil to

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

sweeping bill for gardening next fall.

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

veteran fire-fighters of this sprouting
town arc to-day at a loss to figure on
a water pressure equal to the enor

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,

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"
