Mar hoffer. lumber laden, from Gray's Harbor, and bound to Redondo, Cal., had the misfortune, early on Friday morning last to crack her high-pressure cylinder for a distance of about 13 inches, and found it necessary to put into this port for immediate re pairs, she being off the mouth of the Columbia at the time. She sought to continue her voyage under low , pressure, but could make no head way against the constant heavy sea and the threatening weather condi tions. Captain Winkel concluded the better part of wisdom was to enter here, which he did at the first feasi ble moment He filed a wreck report with the customs authorities in the matter and will probably be towed to Portland by the steamer Olsen Mahoney which is due in this port today. In his report to the Custom House officers Captain Winkel plac ed the value of his vessel at $85,000, and that of his cargo of $6500. , The steamship Rose City left San Francisco at noon on Sunday, one day late, and will not reach here un til this afternoon or evening.

Yesterday's Oregonian said: "Infor mation of an unofficial character was received yesterday afternoon that Captain E. W- Mason, one of the best known masters who visit this . port, has been given command of the Portland & San Francisco line steam ship Rose City, and will probably be in command on her present trip. The Rose City sailed yesterday at noon from San Francisco." The big lighthouse tender Armeria and the Kamm liner Lurline were the only vessels in port yesterday, to mark the day by an exhibition of their bunting. The Armeria was trimmed from truck to kelson, with all-manner of flags, and the Lurline had her flag and ensign all the way down Jhe river. The flagship of the lighthouse ten der fleet, Armeria, Captain Gregory on the bridge, came into the home port on Sunday, after a three weeks' cruise in Puget Sound waters and to Gray's Harbor, attending to the manifold wants of the lightkeepers and the stations in that service.

NINTH AND COMMERCIAL STS- Next Sunday evening the special engagement of Arthur Cunningham will be inaugurated . at the Astoria theatre with a picturesque production of Joseph'! ever popular play, "The Kerry Cow." There is no one on the American stage today better suited for this style of work than Mr. Cun ningham. Joseph Murphy with his stage director, W. T. Sheehan, came to the coast especially to assist in the productions, and Mr. Murphy's prediction of the brilliant success for California's favorite singer has been fully justified by the great reception accorded Mr. Cunningham upon his initial performances in San Fran cisco- Mr. Murphy played "The Kerry Gow" for 32 consecutive years and saw in Mr. Cunningham a worthy successor. "The Kerry Gow" enjoys two dis tinctions. It is the only play ever; produced in this country which has worn out its 23 years of copyright in continuous service; and it has been stolen bodily and in part more times than any other production ever taged. It is a question of which claim oseph Murphy is most proud. The story of "The Kerry Gow," which means "The Village Black smith," is founded on fact, and tells of Dan O'Hara, the 'smith, in love with Nora Drew, who has another suitor, Valentine Hay. As it is a crime in Ireland at the time the play is written, punishable by transporta tion or death, to have pikes or for midable weapons in one's possession, Hay causes several to be hidden in the blacksmith's shop. Thev are dis covered there and Dan is arrested. but escapes from prison just at the same time as the real maker of the pikes professes on his death-bed to the conspiracy against O'Hara. Dan returned to the forge and shoes the horse which saves his .. - i , . . sKccuitdni nome Dy winning a great race. By means of real carrier pigeons, Nora, his sweetheart, is in formed of the result of the heats as the race is run, and the play ends prettily and happily. Mr. Cunningham's songs will be a teature ot "The Kerr? Gow" and his selection will be "Believe Me If All Those Endearing Young Charms," "The Irishman's Toast" and "Nora "Drew." The support accorded him has been carefully selected and in cludes h. D. Bycrs, Edgar R. Sin clair, Earl Gardner, Geo. Calvert. Robert Leonard, W. T. Sheehan, Miss Alice Condon, Miss Clara Coyne and Miss Lillian Raymond. Great pains have been made to have the costumes and scenic effects in keeping to the country and the period. uLEVERHilSOflOF THE GREAT NAVIES build this year and next in order to have the two power standard plus 10 per cent in 1912?

Armored Cruisers of the Indomi table type closely approach In fight mg strength the Dreadnaught class of battleships, being equipped with all large guns, the same as the Bat tleships, differing in the fact, that they are somewhat speedier and not so heavily armored- For defensive warfare they are about at good as the battleships, for defensive they can more easily withdraw out of the dan ger line. Naval writers generally fig' ure them in with the battleship class. England, Germany and Japan are the only nations constructing such vessels at this time. England makes her estimates for hips yearly and no one knows what' ships she will build next year. She contemplate to keep up a two pow er standard plus ten percent The ships atithoriied by her in 1909 and 1910 will be in the front 1912. So we can only figure on what she has under construction at ores ent and see what she would need to keep up her supremacy in the future. Next to England, Germany and the U. S. figure and if the U. S. is left out of consideration, then Japan takes her place; if Japan is also left out, then France, a few years ago the sec Ond power, comes in as Fifth. No both Japan and France are closely allied to England and it is hard to conceive whichone England would France 3, so England would have to build a number of them in the next two years to keep up her estimate, It will then be seen that she can not possibly keep up her two-power standard for any lengih of time, es pecially against Germany and the United States. Taking battleships and armored cruisers together, built since l'XXl, there will be on the lighting line in 1912: German 41. American 34, French 21, Japanese 25 and British 64 plus such a may be built by the British in the mean .time, this la probably the way it is figured out in Britain and it would require the construction of 5, 9 or 19 vessels In the next two years according to what nations you would include in the two-power standard Now the building of five vessels, will make up the required number of vessels for the combination of Ger many and I-ranee, bin t-.ngiaml would then only have 17 Dread naughts against 23 for Germany and France and the British are too smart not to know that this difference can not be equalized by a superiority in armored cruisers, not of the all large gun class. Furthermore France is likely to ay down six more vessel shortly. but at the rate vessels are built in France, they will hardly he, comple ted before 1913 or later if started late this year. Taken all in all the seapower is constantly shifting and the U. S-. now ahead of Germany, in 1912 will be a bad third, while Japan will have passed France and will be next to the United States.

Stetson's great production of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" is booked for one performance at the Astoria Thea tre next Friday. There is something about Uncle Tom that appeals to all both young and old, refined or coarse, the edu cated or uneducated. It is the savor of the soil, the approval of nature which attracts and it must be admit ted even by the blase amncntnvnt. seeker that "Uncle Tom's Cabin" when produced in the grand manner in which the Stetson performances are always launched, possess a charm to be found in no other form of thea trical entertainment. Yet, like every thing else in this progressive age, Stetson's "Uncle Tom" has improved with time, and each year brines out fresh novelties, new features, oleas- ing effects.
