Considerable surprise was created this morning whoa I the lookout at North Head reported to the weather bureau hare that a British steamer believed to bo the Oymerlo was crossing In over the bar.; No announcement had been mads hers to the effect that tho Oymerlo was oa tho way to Portland and shipping men were Inclined to believe that the lookout had mads a mistake, which sould easily occur la hasy weather. , Tho arrival of tho Oymerlo In the bay off Astoria a few minutes after It o'clock, (however, proved the - lookout tight and now oven tho local agent of tho steamer Is wondering Tor what pur pose she put into tho Columbia at this time.

LAUNCH EVA DISABLED & Polios Carry Away Sleotris Batteries - na Oaptala Amos Sought, - Captain Amos, master and proprietor of the gasoline launch Eva, thinks ths Portland police a cruel lot.1 He says ths police are not doing the right thing: going after tho little fellows and letting ths big fish escape, that's what he says. D M --: --r Several days ago Captain Amos ex pended s big $20 gold piece for sn elec tric battery necessary for the operation of the Eva's propeller. He bought It from a man supposed to be T. K., and never suspected anything in the way of trouble ahonld come from tho deal. ' Imagine hia surprise when yesterday ins polios entered hia boat, unscrewed the batteries and carried- them away on the ground that onee rpon a time they had been atolen property. "Why., the Ideal' Captain Amos x claimed. "Dod cast roe. I bought , those oattenes at the same time . that Mr. ueno. sought his snd, from the same fellow. While I don't know where tbe man got them, I supposed they -were his when he cams -around. and. offered them for Bale. 7 . . v..- Captain Amos Is as honest a man ever walked a gangplank, and everybody knows it along the waterfront, but at the same time tho police claim that bs waa buncoed when sold. those batteries and the only thing for them ta do was to take them to tbo station. ' "U course, they - know I . have no money to fight tbo ease,' said tho skip per, "and so I am out ths batteries, oH the lie, rather. But why don't they go axtsr , them - other fallows, ; thsm rloh bugs that , bought - batteries from ths same heap, - That's what bothering ma Shiver me Jibboora." , Tha Eve lies-helpless at her moorings because Captald Amo has not been able ta get a new set of spark producers. - VOYAGE WAS ROUGH . t Passengers oa Steamer ; JCllbara Vow - , Approsteto XAfe oa mm.---?'-?rr Rough f weather was enoountered all ths way from the Oolden Oats to the mouth cf ths .Columbia river . by the steamer P.
