The passenger were landed laat night after having proved to the entire satis faction of the Immigration Inspectors that they would become dealrable citl . , sen and that there existed no reason barring them from landing. To Inspector Barbour they told through an Interpreter, that it was alroply an accident that they came here on a sailing vessel. Both had left their homes with the Intention of going to America to make a living and with ' that end in view they took a small sail ing vessel to Sydney, New South Wales, .expecting to board a steamer there for " San Francisco.

IS Mr. Freak Hemstreet, Celebrated Barlto ae of Vw Tor City, Who Will Appeal la Tbia City Thursday Hrealng, September IS. Captain P. J. Werlich, Inspector of iignmouses in mis district, returned last night from Fort Stevens, accom panied by General Murray, chief of the artillery, and Captain Wood, represent lng the navy. They have been inspect ing the sea area for defenses with the end in view of preparing locations for the placing of mines In times of war. The visiting officers constitute the board of defensive sea area, of which also all the lighthouse Inspectors of the various districts are also members. The recital to be given in this city September 12," under the auspices of Sherman, Clay & Co., in which Mr. C Arthur Long well and Mr. Frank Hem- street of New York City will appear, will be an artlstlo event and one which should appeal to the muslo lovers of the city. The two artists have been before the musical public in New York for a number of years, Mr. Longwell aa a concert organist and Mr. Hemstreet as one of the most popular concert bari tones or the metropolis. Their pi will be a varied one and will b rogram o thor oughly artistic in everr sense. The artists have been engaged by the A. B. Chase company to demonstrate the qualities of the Artlstano player, which has been the most highly praised of any of the players of recent years. It is said to be the consummation of every ambition In the player piano and the great artists of the piano have been unstinting In their praises of Its pos sibilities. Standpoint of Artist. In the recital next week Mr. Long well will make no effort to demonstrate 1 the mechanical features of the instru ment, but has simply been engaged by tne manufacturers as a musician and the advertising feature will be kept secondary throughout. He will play ine Arusiano just as any -otner artist uses the ordinary piano, aa a channel through which to convey his interpre tation or tne compositions he plays. In accompanying Mr. Hemstreet in some of the more difficult arias he does so with the most delightful abandon, a leaiure in accompaniments which Is so orten tacking. In the many recitals In which these two artists have appeared the verdict of the press and critics has been most flattering and Portland should have a treat In store when they appear here. Sherman, Clay & Co. are mailing hun dreds of invitations to the recital and It is planned to assemble all the lovers of good muslo of the city when the re cital Is given. There will be no charge for admission, as the recital la given under the auspices of Sherman, Clay ft Co. IMPROVING THE SNAKE. Blasting Will Be Done From Three Large Scows. Colonel S. W.
