Wasiunoton, Aug. 13. Th
seizure of the Pacific Mail steamer
TTityof Panama by the Salvadonan
authorities may result in the send
ing of United States war vessels to
these waters. How to meet tins
possible contingency ia something
that is bothering the navy otlicials
I here are only three vessels now
at San Froitcisco besides the
Charleston, which is ordered to
China, and it is otiestionable if
any of these can make the trip
One of the trio is the Pensacola
which arrived to-day. The others
are the Omah?, which recently re
turned from China, and is now out
ot commission, and the Ranger,
which has w ithin a fortnight come
up irom .Nicaragua lor repairs
the former is tlie onlv one that
could possibly leave soon, and as
she is badly out of condition, her
journey to San Salvador would be
slow, it not dangerous. It has not
been determined that tlie seizure
of the Citv of Panama will n cessi
late the presence of a man-of-war
at La Libertad ; but to be prepared
for that contingency, the depart
ment has been in telegraphic com
mutiii atioii witli the authorities at
San Francisco to-day about the
three ships. The absence of any
ollicial particulars from Minister
Pachecj at Guatemala leaves lioth
the state and navy depart
ments in doubt as to the course to
be pursued. If it turns out that
the political refugees are still
in the city of Panama, the depart
ments, to be consistent with tlie
position taken in the Barrundia
case, must necessarily give all pos
sible protection to them until
some understanding can be reach
ed with the fsalvadonan govern
ment. In the absence of any
letinite official information, Mr.
Solev doclines to discuss what
iction the navy department will
take in the matter, further than to
say that the subject is receiving
areful consideration, and that
the navy will not be found want
ing when called ujion.

George Jones, editor of the Xr
York Times, died in Hollam
Springs, Maine, Wednesday, li
was born seventy-nine years ai:
at Poultney, Vt., where his fatbe
settled on coming to America from
Wales. It was in this village tba?
Jones met Horace Greeley, and
the two boys fomed a friendship
that lasted nearly half a century.
They were employed together in a
country store and on the Vermont
Spectator, both owned by Amos
Blias. Young Jones went to New
York in 1S4:!, and again met
Greeley, but declined an olfer of
partnership in the Tribune. Later
Jones went into a news agency at
Albany, and in 1S51, he accepted
a salaiied position of the business
oflice of the New York Times, then
owned by Raymond & Weston.
Upon the death of Raymond in
1 Stilt there was a fight for the con
trol of the paper. The laigest
stock owners were Mi. Jones, the
Raymond heirs, E. B. Morgan, a
congressman, and Louis Jeunings,
an Englishman. Jennings con
ceive I the 6cheme of securing con
trol of the paper by purchasing
the Raymond slock and uniting
with either Jones or Morgan.
Jones heard of this, and succeeded
in having removed the settlement
of the Raymond estate from the
New York courts to the courts of
Oneida county. There he suc
ceeded in acquiring possession 0f
the Times stock held by the Ray
mond heirs, which gave him con
trol of the paper. Jennings sub
sequently sold his stock to Jones.
Wednesday saw the close of the
lite of James Russell Lowell. He
spent mast of his declining years
with his daughter, Mrs. Edward
Burnett, at Deerfoot farm, South
borough, Mass., and with his
grandchildren, whom he adoied.
Here he did his last literary work.
Almost to the last he was a hard
worker. He has not been seen so
often in society of late as for
merly, and up to five years ago he
seemed in robust health. It ap
pears the poet was taken sick
about five weeks ago and two
weeks or more ago he became de
lirious. Up to Monday he recov
ered consciousness only at brief
ntervals. Monday afternoon he
gave the mem tiers ot the family
signs of recognition, but when the
nurses changed bedding he suf
fered intensely when moved, and
finally said, "Oh, why don't you
let me die." These words were
his last. He seemed from that
time to lose heart, and gradually
his life faded away. He continued
in a comatose condition until 2:1")
o'clock this morning, whentbe
last spark of his life went out
Beside him in his last momenta
were the sister of his first wife, ids
daughter, Mrs. Edward Burnett
and her husband, the ex-cougrees-man,
as well as the nurses and
servants of the heusehold. Al
though it was known lit; could not
live mucli longer, death seemed,
nevertheless rather unexpected.
Transition from sleep to death was
so easy that for a few moments
nobody in the room observed that
lie bad ceased to breathe, lus
eyes were closed and they never
opened. He passed away with
only a heavy sigh to indicate the
separation jf the great soul from
the worn-out body. The funeral
will be held Friday at noon in
Appleton chapel, Cambridge.

Portland, August 13. Earlv
this morning, Customs Inspectors
Porter aud Eggleston, who have
been on the lookout for opium
smugglers lor some days past, saw
two men going up First street, and
making lor the Chinese quarters.
They had tracked them down
from the City of Mexico, which
came in from Alaska a few days
ago, and suspected that they were
trying to smuggle opium into some
Chinese joint. On being taken
into custody thirty-six five-tael
cans of opium, worth about '-36,
were found concealed aiiout their
persons, principally in the slack
portions of their trouseis.
The men proved to be John
Dully and B. Anderson, sailors on
board the Mexico.
The men waived examination
before Commissioner Woodward
this afternoon, and were brought
up before Judge Deady for sen
tence. Major ILindbury yesterday dis
dispatched Mr. G. W. Freenian, of

Not a Fish Story.
The location of the Washington

atchery in Mothow was
robably the best place it coald
be pnt in the state, Bays the Wilbur
Register. A hsn rack lias been
placed in the steam for the pur
pose of ascertaining, as near as
possible, the run of salmon during
the season. K. K. Parker stated
that the fish are so thick in the
upper part of the stream as to
actually frighten a timid horse so
oad that it cannot be made to ford
the river. He says this is no fish
story, but a positive fact. Fish
Commissioner Crawford himself
admits that he "never saw the
beat."

safety, it is said, and the inter

and more economical ideas, etc

addition to his family, lie re
sponded courteously to the usual
solicitous inquiries and accepted
all congratulations in a spirit of

looks like a pug dog with its face
painted red."

Scio Press : The horse race last
'riday was won by the Bellinger
oys. It was a close run, and
jotb horses were put to their best
?peed. Another race followed be
tween horses owned by Polk
Thomas and Schultz, the Albany

h mind. And, say ! the way that'
old stove up, spavined, knock
kneJ cuitan of Szhultz'e did run
"surpsseth all understanding."
If thatSfcutcher was to bring a saw
horse over and want to run it.
Polk wouldn't bet much on the re
sult of theu-ace.

BIS Crop.
Fabritus R. Smith has just clear
ed up threshing in a field of wheat
that averaged 35 bushels of wheat
to the acre. The land has been
cropped with grain for over30 years.
It has never been fertilized, and
only summer followed about once
every four years. This is prehaps
not a very remarkable yield, but
under the circumstances shows a
high record for an old Orepnn
farm. Salem Journal.
