The Northern Pacific has made ar rangements with the Pacific Coast Steamship company, whereby its freight and passengers will be car ried from San Franoisco to Tacoma on the letter's steamers. This will enable the Northern Pacific to enter into more active competition with the Canadian Pacific The Telegram gays that the Northen Pacific does not want to bring freight bound for points on tho line from San Francis co to Portland, for in that event, the O. B. &-N. Co. would get a big share of the freight charges. A Pike county, HI., paper has the following to say of "Dick Harcrator:" "Sheriff Windmiller made a very quiok trip to Baker City, Or., to bring back Andrew Hamilton, being absent eight days and ten nights. Hamilton was ready to come immediately with him. Those who knew Hamilton be fore he left recognized him readily. He has been visited by a great many people since his return. He feels confident of proving a dear case of self defense, and expresses himself glad of a ohance to get the unfortu nate business off from his mind." Now is the time to save money; go to the closing out sale at the Crystal Pal ace. Why shouldn't they slaughter goods at the Crystal Palace, as they are going to leave the city. Do you need any counters, show cases or store fixtures? If you do, go at once to the Crystal Palace and you can buy then at one-half what they are worth. A TIGHT WITH THE INDIANS. Special Dispatches From the East. Glenwood Spkis-gs, Col., Aug. 25. The arrival of the courier at this hour with a report of a desperate fight with the Utes, in which one white man was killed and several scouts wounded, has created a pro found impression here. The fight occurred at a place six miles west of Bangely, in n little canyon between tho mountains. The Indians had planned an ambush, but the scouts discovered it and retreated in time. The Indians then opened fire, and Major Leslie, who commanded the scouts, augmented by Major Hoop er's Aspen volunteers, returned the fire from behind the rocks. The In dians showed themselves and fought desperately. Upon the first concen trated fire of the troops two Indians fell and one white man. Dr. Dumont, of Meeker, with Kendall's band, was wounded. For three hours the bat tle raged incessantly. Then the Utes retreated to the timber, and only skirmish shots were fired during the day. It continued until one o'clock last night, but no one was injured. Jack Ward, one of Kendall's men, was shot down during the first part of the fight. Tho whites saw eight In dians dragged behind the line, and dead Indians. Five whites were wounded. IK THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. London, Aug. 27.

Indigestion is a foe to good nature. The human digestive apparatus is one of the most complicated and won derful things in existence. It is easily put out of order. Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food, bad cookery, mental worry, late hours, irregular habits, and many other things which ought not to be, have made the American people o nation of dyspeptics. But Green's August Flower has done a wonderful work in reforming this sad business and making tho American people bo healthy that they can enjoy their meals and be happy. Bemember: No happiness without health. But Green's August Flower brings health and happiness to the dyspeptic. Ask your druggist for a bottle. Seventy-five cents.

S. steamer Manzanita ar rived in yesterday from the far north, in charge of first offioer Bichardson, and docked at the Main street wharf. Lieut Sebree and party left tho ves sel at Seattle and proceeded overland to Portland. She was visited yester day afternoon by a large number of people. The stem of the vessel shows tho effect of ohance encounters with tho ice in Glacier bay. The Manzanita left here on her Alaskan cruise on July 13th, and did considerable work on this trip. Tho officers report a splendid time, chief engineer Peak saying that this, his sixth voyage to those waters, was the most enjoyable and successful of any. The vessel has many cunos and mementos of the trip in the shape of Alaskan native handiwork, including kyaks, canoes, totems, bracelets made from silver dollar pieces, mocasins, baskets, bows, arrows, paddles, knives, forks, spoons, pipes, dolls, mats, etc. The trip wa3 made under the most favorable auspices; starting from Victoria under the guidance of pilot Francis the vessel steamed northward through Seymour Nar rows, a rightly dreaded passage where the huge volume of the north Pacific tide rushes at a ten-knot rate through the narrow pass, and on to Hope Island, where a great potlatch and powow was in progress. From there to Swanson bay, the buoys and beacons along the route being care fully noted. At Carter's bay, in north lat. 53, west Ion. 130, a halt was made. Here lies buried Carter, Ad miral Vancouver's carpenter, and every visiting vessel's crew decorates his grave. From there through Grenviile Channel and Chatham Sound, where the Manzanita fell in with the English man-of-war Caro line with Admiral Seymour on board, through Tongas Narrows, where A. W. Berry ha3 a cannery, and after placing a buoy on Califor nia rock, continuing northward, dropping over to Hassan village, where stand 52 great totems, some of them 75 and 80 feet high, the largest collection of the kind in Alaska; from there to Pt Stanhope, and the mouth of tho Stickin river, where there is nnother cannery, verynear which is an immense reef of micaceous slate STUDDED WITH GARNETS, Presenting a very singular appear ance. The Manzanita brought back several fine specimens of this curious formation. Through Wrangel Nar rows, full of buoys and beacons, where tho Caroline stood off towards Juneau, and up through Peril Straits, where the Manzanita put down several beacons and spindles. These spindles are used to locate rocks that aro covered at high water, and, undesignated, give no token of their dangerous presence. At low tide, when tho rock is entirely bare, a landing is made, a large hole drilled in the rock two feet in depth in which is set and securely clamped an iron rod or bar 20 feet high and 2J inches in diameter, to the top of which is swung a Bheet-iron cage painted white, thus denoting the pres ence of a sunken rock. Thence the cruise extended to Killisnoo. full of quaint specimens of Indian life, and after placing a spin dle on Hannas reef, the Manzanita dropped anchor in lonely Hoonah harbor. Still northward through Glacier bay, full of ice, placing n spindle in Vanderbilt rock, and halt ing at William Henry Harbor, tho southernmost limit of the arctic cir cle and the farthest north reached by the vessel on this trip. Tho re turn was devoid of incident At Juneau a black bear of the male persuasion, was obtained. Ho is about eight months old, and answers to the name of Willie. He is what Artemas Ward would call "an amoos in' little cuss," and is great sport to everyone on board the Manzanita. It is a funny sight to see "Willie" help himself to a drink from the water keg, then capering up the rig ging sniff the wind and look wise. OF ALL THE CURIOSITIES Brought back, the most singular is the micaceous slate, studded with deep red garnets. "Not that they aro so vory rich or rare. Tho wonder's .how the d 1 they got there." They are octagonal and are as thick in the glistening gray Bhalo as raisins in a rice pudding. The officers say that Alaska is alive with tourists. Every nook and cor ner traversed by the passenger steam ers has been visited, and curiosities are eagerly bought at any price the native manufacturers see fit to ask for them. A carved stick is one dol lar or five dollars, just as the notion takes the nativo artist in wood, and no matter what it is, the money is promptly handed over. The natural result is a "boom" in antiquities and Alaskan bijouterie. The photogra phers have also a bonanza in the mat ter of views. Every crag and cre vasse, every point, headland, glacier, inlet and island that could be visited from Viotoria to Pyramid harbor is photographed and the photographers can't keep up with the demand. First officer Bichardson has some vfirv fine views that he nnrchased on this trip. To him and to officen Gregory and chief engineer Peake the writer is indebted for many courte sies on the occasion of his visit yes terday afternoon". "'- To .Whom It May Concern.

San Francisco, Aug. 2L People returning to their city homes, after spending their summer vacations under the trees, excite the envy and longing of their less fortunate ac quaintances, who have been obliged by the force ot circumstances to pass their holidays amid the stir and bustle of town life, only pulling down their window blinds to impress Dassera-bv with the belief that there is nobody behind them, by the fervor Ol meir uesuripuuua ui iuu uuums that struck the sections of tho coun try in which they have been enjoying themselves, enriching everybody around them without adding materi ally to to their own wealth. They have bronght much of the fever of these booms back with them, and, apparently from sheer force of sym pathy, there has been a sudden awakening among real estate specu lators in what have been called "San Francisco sleeping places" across the bay, and a great number of land and house sales have been made. In Ala meda three new real estate offices were opened on one day last week. How soon they will be closed again is a matter that chiefly interests their owners, who sold out their stores to engage in the business of buying and selling lots. San Francisco, however, pursues pretty evenly tho tenor of her way. A novel and very desirable boom, indeed, seems to have struok the city; but it is a boom of morality only, does not affect the value of property. The police justices watch it with" amazement, not uumiugled with awe. They say that for two days this week not a single offense more kenious than a simple "drunk" was reported to tho police. .They are afraid to predict the result of a con tinuance of such a state of affairs; the entire police forco may want to go fishing. There is a boom, too, of a suicidal tendency sweeping over us. Men finding themselves unable to pay old debts, or to contract new ones, are evinoing an extraordinary readiness to settle the great debt of nature even before it is due. Hotel land lords complain that they are favored far too frequently by tho patronage of guests in this frame of mind, and tho letter which the suicido generally leaves on tho bureau in his bedroom, courteously apologizing for the trouble Lo has left behind him, and requesting his host to notify tho cor ! i :i:n r u. n it oner, rather augments than lessens the grievance. Two residents of ban Francisco chose last Sunday as a fit ting time for saying adieu to tho world. Patrick Dugan was unable to obtain tenants for either of his two dwellings on First street; so, like Lieut. Luff, "His own execution he put into Ins own house." Ho went into one of them, and blew his brains out It will, perhaps, be easier for his widow to let the property now. William A. Harding, at about the same hour, went in search of two drinks to bo debited to his account. Singularly enough his mission was successful, but his own spirits were not raised by those in which the bar tender's confidence in him was shown. Perhaps he was despondent at being unable to pay for his two fertifiers: or it may be, he despaired of getting u third on the same terms. At all events he went back to his room, in a Sutter street hotel, and ended his life with a pistol. X. ttxpld Heating or the Heart. Whenever you feel an uneasiness iu the region of the heart, a slight pain in the shoulder, arm, or under the shoulder-blade, or when you find yourself short ot breath when ex eroising, or your heart has periods of of beating fast, you have heart disease, and should take Dr. Flint's Heart Remedy.

It is reported from the sound that the price of salmon has been es tablished at five cents for tho small salmon, tho silversides, and ten cents for the largo or jack salmon. Salmon fishing on the sound is carried on on totally different principles from those in vogue on tne uoiumuia river: There the salmon come and swim around the sound in schools for several weeks. During this time they can be caught, and while at one time a seine will get nothing but a "water haul," tho next hour, if a school hap pens to be struck, the seines, like their ancient prototypes on the sea of Galilee, will oe filled to bursting. It is no uncommon thing to catch several thousand fish in a lucky haul of the seme. Unco the salmon leave the Bound and go up any of the four rivers emptying into the sound, they cannot bo caught; the streams are too full of snags to admit of nets or seines, ana tne logs mat are sent down those streams by the loggers would sweep out any trap that might be placed there. Tlicir Business Boomiiig. Probably no one thing has caused such a general revival of trade at V. E.
