the Idaho is due here on the 2Gth.
There is every reason to believe that
she will be seized and that legal com

seizurS&which is the largest one ever
made in the United States. Collector
Beecher says; "The revenue cutter
Wolcott left Port Townsend on Sun
day, January 10, and arrived at Kaas
an, Alaska, on Thursday morning,
where a cannery owned and controlled
by Capt Carroll is situated. We found
S.01l pounds of prepared opium, in
half-pound tins, stowed in three bar
rels. Two white men and a number
of half-breeds and Indians constitut

ue of the opium seized is 15,000.

DEATH OF JOHN DAVIS.
About midnight on Tuesday, word
was brought that John Davis, a well
known cannery employe at upper As

anum and was not expected to live.
Mention was made in yesterday's is
sue to that effect Every effort was
made to rouse the unfortunate man
to consciousness, but to no effect, the
stupor produced by the deadly drug
ending in death at four o'clock yester
day morning.
The deceased was about 33 years of
age. He is well spoken of by those
who knew him in life. He leaves a
wife and four small children. A sin
gular fact in connection with the
manner of his death is that he is the
third of three brothers, each of whom
died tho same way. Deceased was a
member of Temple Lodge No. 7, A. F.
and A. M. The fuueral will take
place from the lodge room at two

THE OPIUM SEIZURE.
Said one man who in eariier days
had not been entirely disconnected
with the steamship service on the
Pacific ceast: "The whole trouble is
that they got over-confident Just
think of it! Trying to get a ton and
a halt of opium through at one time.
Yon see the trouble is right here.
This opium comes to San Fraucisco
and then is taken in bond to Victoria,
where it remains in bond. The treas
ury department always has secret
service men at Victoria and it would
be next to impossible for 3,000 pouuds
of opium to leave Victoria and they
not know it There were just two
places for it to go to one was Port
Townsend, the other was Alaska.
Of course some one who had been
on the inside must havo told
Beecher exactly where the opium was
cached. The chances are that it was
taken up by som3 small sailing vessel.
That was the only crime committed.
That was the smuggling taking for
eign goods into United States terri
tory. If it can bo proved that the
Idaho carried the stuff to Alaska the
vessel will without a doubt be seized
by the government and sold." Ore-
gonian, 20.
Yesterday's News saya: F. N.
Shurtleff, "collector of customs for
this district, does not think Capt
Carroll is implicated, although ap
pearances are against him. Certain
suspicious circumstances led Mr.
Shurtleff to search the Idaho every
time she came to this port, but the
closest scrutiny failed to reveal any
thing of a contraband character.
The general impression seeni3 to
be that the smuggling has been go
ing on for some time, and some even
go so far as to say that Collector
French, of Alaska, knows something
about the matter. Others think he is
ignorant of the matter, because the
opium seized was fonnd many miles
south of his head-quarters. It is al
so alleged that whisky has been
smuggled into Alaska on every trip
made !j the Idaho, although the
law stringently prohibits the same.
This fact would tend to show that
Collector French is not as watchful a
man as he ought to be.
Captain James Carroll commanded
the Great Republic when she strand
ed at Sand Islaud in 1879. Shortly
afterwards he entered the service of
the P. C. S. S. Co. and was given the
command of tho steamer California,
now Eureka, in 1SS0, which was then
on the Alaska ronte. When the Eu
reka was withdrawn from the Sitka
route, and the Idaho substituted,
Captain Carroll was put in charge of
the latter vessel.
The Idaho will arrive at Port
Townsend on her return from Alaska,
on the 25lh or 2Gth. and if the vessel
is to be seized, it will be then.
Messrs. Goodall & Perkins, of San
Fraucisco, are the agents of the
steamer.
Capt Carroll is a brave and intrep
id seaman, and a splendid navigator.
His friends say ho is worth in the
vicinity of S150,000, which he claims
to have made by fortunate mining in
vestments in Alaska. It is thought
the seizure will put an end to his ca
reer as captain, however.
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer
savs: neu tue sieamsmp luaito
was seized at Port Townsend, three
weeks since, only G27 pounds of smug
gled opium was found on board of
her, and, inasmuch as one of the cus
toms officers detailed for that pur
pose Had seen a wnoio ciray loau 01
opium put on board the steamer on
her way up to Alaska the same trip
she was seized, Collector Beecher felt
sure that the bulk of the smuggled
opium had either been thrown over
board in Port Townsend harbor or
cached somewhere in Alaska, to be
brought down at the convenience of
those engaged in the bnsiuess.
Collector Beecher had the bottom
of the harbor examined at PortTowu
seiid, but no opium was fouud there.
He then telegraphed to the depart
ment at Washington, asking that the
revenue cutter Oliver Wolmtt be de
tailed to special duty in Alaskan wa
ters. His request was granted, and a
short time before the Wolcott started,
Inspector E. A. Gardner met a sailor
who had left the Idaho on her down
trip, and proposed to reward him
handsomely if he would accompany
the cutter to Alaska and point out the
place where the opium was stored.
The sailor consented, and stated that
the opium had been landed at Capt
Carroll's fishery, about seventy miles
above Tongass.
The cutter proceeded to that point
and there found 3,011 pounds of
smuggled opium, valued, saj at $15
per pound, would amount to $15,172
.50 the largest single seizure of
opium ever made in the northwest,
The cutter went up jnst ahead of the
Idaho, and returned to Port Towns
end yesterday with the smuggled
drug.
Inspector Gardner played a verv
important part in bringing about
thia seiznre, aud reels justly proud to
see his plan work out so well. It is
not unlikely that the Idaho will be
again seized on her return to Port
Townsend. Collector Beecher seems
determined to break up this whole
sale smnggling, which has been going
on for a leng time past

THE LENGTHENING AFTERNOON.
Tho sun rises in Astoria at 733 this
morning, and sets at 450. The morn
ings do not come much earlier than
in the short December days of the
closing year, but tho afternoons aro
growing perceptibly longer. The
gain is not restricted to the 28 min
utes by which the actual sunset is
postponed although, iu these brief
winter days, even that would be bet
ter than nothing but the dura
tion of available daylight is practi
cally extended to just about twice
that amount by the sudden extension
of the afternoon twilight which so
curiously begins as soon as the sun
set hour begins to grow later, even by
a minute. It is in reality no small
thing for us here in the north, in the
shadow of the cold shoulder of the
planet, through the long northern
winter, to have already nearly an
hour of available daylight One-half
by the change in the evening twilight
This curious rapid shortening of the
twilight, in late summer and in au
tumn, and its equally quick lengthen
ing, as soon as the turning point of
the winter solstice is reached, is one
of the undiscussed but interesting
features of the natural year; more in
teresting, probably, to the limited
number who watch the year's changes,
and rejoice in the triumphant annual
upward sweep of the sun, than to the
mas3 of people in general, who give
but little attention to such things,
and are satisfied to wisely enjoy, with
out too nicely examining, all time3
and seasons. Yet even to the most
inattentive person there must be some
sense of a welcome difference in a
state of things which begins that
gradual but mighty change, from
shadow to sunrise, from winter to
spring and summer, and which is
now fairly set in motion, and will go
on increasing the glory of the domin
ion of the light for nearly half a year
to come.

It wa3 rumored among navy offi
cers to-day that a United States ship
had been ordered to proceed to Sa

but it was thought that this was
probably true. There are five United
States vessels, apart from those used
in the revenue service, on duty on
the Pacific coast, cruising. These
are the Hartford, Mohican, Adams,
Iroquois, and Hanger, tho last named
being engaged in surveying. The
Adams or Iroquois seems most like
iy to bo sent, if any one is dispatched,
because both are well fitted out The
Adams was at Acapulco on tho 3rd

LOST AND DAMAGED CARGOES.
A peculiar fatality appears to have
attached to salmon cargoes in the
past two seasons. Of tho pack of
18S1 two cargoes were lost, represent
ing about ten per cent, of tho entire
Columbia river pack. Previously no
disaster had occurred to the fleet for
several years, but the losses of two
successive seasons have suggested
tho perfect propriety of allowing for
a certain percentage of loss from
wreckage, aud the statisticians of
eastern trade journals, who persist
ently take positions against the in
terests of the salmon packers and the
canned goods trade of the Pacific
coast should make a note of the fact
Of the pack of 18S4, the cargoes of
the Kirkwood (52,80i cases) and
Perthshire (11,890 cases) were total
losses Of the pack of the past season
the cargo of the Rover of the Seas
(16,916 cases) has been reported lost,
the bark having foundered at sea.
The cargo of the Haddingtonshire
(17,696 cases) was lost on the coast a
few miles above the north head en
trance to the harbor of San Fran
cisco. The Prince Rupert, carrying
a cargo of salmon ana other mer
chandise from Victoria, (the salmon
being of the pack of 1885 has been
reported spoken at sea in a leaky
condition. Her cargo was valued at
890,207. The cargo of the Rover of
the Seas also was British Columbia
fish. The following is a summary
of the losses of the past two seasons.
