There are now four vessels on the San Francisco line: the State, Elder, Oregon nd Columbia. Captain Ackley has been appointed master of the Stale and. Capt. Angestein of the Elder. Major C. B. Thockmorton, Second Artillery, formerly in command at Fort Stevens, has arrived in New York from New Orleans, and taken post at Fort Wadsworth, Staten Island. "Resolved, That women should abandon corsets," was the subject at the recent debating society at the state university. The question was decided in the affirmative. That settles it Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Munson, Mr. and Mrs. C. Kimball, and others went to Lewis and Clark's last evening, where report has it that last evening there was n wedding at the residence of W. J. Ingalls. John Ii. Sullivan has opened his big right fist to grasp a "journalistic" pencil. He is the sporting editor of tho New York Illustrated Neios.

For the first time for lo, these many years, when one looks across to Knappton he doesn't see the cloud of smoke by day and tho pillar of fire by nigut from the iknappton mill. 'I'ne machinery is being repaired, and the omission of the familiar smoke and fire is at first as noticeable as though Scarborough head had disappeared. The Albatross brings some inter esting statements regarding sound ings outside. About twenty miles off shore there is a depression that leads to the theory thot that marks the ancient bed of tho river. On each riiIo Ann wnat tire sonndings of from 250 to 300 fathoms. Between these submarine banks is a valley, 600 and 025 fathoms deep. A dispatch from Rio says that on SeDtember 4th the shin Syren was sold at auction at that port for 3,000,- 000 reis, and that her cargo or coai brought 10,000 reis per ton. These are big figures, but it must be borne in mind that one thousand reis mean in onr money 0,516. It sounds big to say coming out of a Rio restaurant that you paid two thousand reis for your dinner, but a rei isn't much over half a mill. Prof. A. W. TJtzinger, leader of the Western Amateur band, went up to tho band room last evening, for usual practice, and was agreeably surprised by tho presentation of a magnificent gold badge and pin, suitably en graved, with the compliments of the band, the occasion being his thirty third birthday. He prizes the badge highly as an emblem of good will and friendship on the part of those with whom ho has long and earnestly la bored. Joggles came in yesterday and got to talking about election bets, and said he wanted to make two betB on the coming election; he'd bet $100 that he could name twenty states that Cleveland will carry in November, and would bet S400 more that he could name ten other states besides, that Cleveland will also carry in No vember. Joggles appears to be loaded for geese, but he says if any one wants to bet him he'll put up his coin. The Walla Walla Statesman is re sponsible for the follewing: "There is one awful mad woman in Kansas. She heard that the legislature of Kansas offered a reward of $100 to any woman in the state who raised a family of thirteon children and ac cordingly she has been putting in her best licks for several years past to earn the money. When her thir teenth child was born she called on the governor for her cash and learned for the first time that the reward was a hoax. Then she was mad." Three weeks from to-day comes the presidential election. For goodness' sake, somebody get ont and rustle, make a speech, sing, crow, do some thing; it doesn't make any difference, get a move on you, have a Repub lican or Democratic or Prohibition speech or parade or disturbance of some kind; anything so it is moving. There isn't a stir yet, and one would think the election was three years off instead of three weeks. Get in; this isn't Washington territory; this is Oregon; WAKE TJP1 there's to be an election for president on the 6th of next month, and every mother's son of you have a vote except those who haven't. It's only once in four yeara we can have a little fun, and it's our our own fault if wo let this occasion pass. Hire a hall, get tho band out, fill tho torches, turn loose there's a president to be elected. UNFAIR AND UXGENTLEJIANLY. Hon. O. W. Fulton, of this city, ono of the Republican nominees for pres idential elector, is now on a thorough state canvass and is winning en comiums for his fair, manly, con vincing argument for the advance ment of Republican ideas. His political opponents concede his ability, and though, of course, they'd rather he'd stay at home, have been uniformly courteous. The only at tempt at a slqr is the following char acteristic one from the Albany Dem Dem ocrat: A band has been nicked for an address at the court house to-night by a man irom somewnere nameu niton, ana that is about all. That pitiful little sonib situs no one but its author. Even Nickell, of the Jacksonville Times, about as strong a partisan newspaper man as there is in the state, says: "C. W. Fnlton, Republican candidate for presidential elector, addressed a small audience at the U. S. ball in Jack sonville last Saturday afternoon, and afterwards in the evening at Medford to a fair house. Mr. iultcm is a fluent talker. He is a clever fellow, and if he was on the rght side of the discussion would do pretty well." The above is gentlemanly anyhow, and in contrast to the Albany scribe, who hurts only himself in trying to belittle one of the foremost men of the state. Men always have and always will differ in politics; it is right they should and we respect a man who has a prononnced opinion and stays with it But even in politics courtesy ia needfnl; politeness to political oppo nents is their due; no one has n mo nopoly of the truth, or the right, and a newspaper man who fails in cour tesy to those who differ "with him in politics abases his privilege. PERSONAL MENTION. Geo. Tarbell, of Tncomn, is in the city. H. B. Parker has returned from Portland. F. R, Stokes returned from South ern Oregon yesterday. Capt J. G. Hustler and wife have returned from Portland. Reducing tho Surplus. The disposition of the Surplus in the U. S.

THE V. S. TESSEL "ALBATROSS." To Cruise Ontslde and Take Deep Sea Soundings. The U. S. fish commissioner's vessel Albatross arrived in last Sunday and vesterdav nunc her washing to dry in the rigging. She lies in the stream op posite the city, Jtegaroing ner recent movements in northern waters, expert Alexander says: The haibut fishing grounds off the Straits of Juan do Fnca and between Cape Beal and Cape Flattery are no doubt very prolifio at certain seasons, but at the present time edible fish in no large quantities can be taken. Halibut trawl lines were set in many places on this ground. A few halibut were taken each time, showing that scattering ones remain in spite of the dog-fish and sharks. Trawl lines were left down the usual length of time con sidered necessary to test the bottom (from two to three hours), but no such fishing was found as the captains of the schooners Mollie Adams and Oscar and Hattle reported earlier in the season. Capt. Jacobs and other fishermen think that a few trips will be taken on this ground each year. During the few winter and spring months this bank will be visited by the fishermen for "fresh trips." This acces sible fishing bank being in such close proximity to the fishing headquarters of the northwest, a lucrative fresh halibut fishery must necessarily be established. But in the summer months, when ves sels are bound on a "fletched trip," more northern waters will have to be sought, where halibut can be found in vast quan tities. The cause for the disappearance of the halibnt at this season of the year is due to tho great abundance of dog-fish and sharks, which infest these waters. These wolves of the ocean seem to take full possession of the bottom, driving away all edible fish from the rich sub marine pastures where halibut and other speoies resort. Trawl lines cannot be left down Over night in this serrate bot tom, as the swift running tide soon causes the ground line to chafe against tne Bharp rocks to such an extent tnat it is either badly damaged or never re covered. In consequence of this no "night sets ' are made, all the ashing be ing done during the day. A few miles south of Cape Flattery a very muddy and slimy bottom is met with. Numerous sets were made along tne coast irom tne last-namea point to Shoalwater bay. Sharks and dog-fish were found in great abundance at almost every set. Un a few occasions black cod ana rea-rocic nsn were taicen in consider able number, the last named species, however, being more abundant. The bottom along the "Washington Ter ritory coast as far south as the Albatross has cruised seems to be void of all marine life which attracts halibut. The reported banks further south where hali but are said to be plentiful yet remain to be investigated. Everything aboard the vessel is in apple-pie order, and the steamer is abundantly supplied for the special pur pose to which she has been assigned. She leaves for a cruise to locate the hali but banks outside, and then goes to San Francisco. THE COMMISSIONER'S LETTEK. Following is a letter to Senator J. N. Dolph from M. McDonald, the U. S. fish commissioner, which, under the circum stances, furnishes interesting informa inferma informa teon: Hon, J. N. Dolph, U. S. Senate, Wash ington, D. C: I have the honor to state that your re quest to Mr. O'Connor, in 'Washington," that the steamer Albatross make a sur vey of the fishing banks off the mouth of tho Columbia river, Oregon, was dnly communioated to Capt. Tanner, in com mand of that steamer,. with orders to spend as much time in that region as the weather would permit. He was also in structed to confer with Hon. J. H. D. Gray, of Astoria, if he found it conven ient to make a port there. Replying to this telegram, by letter, from Port Townsend, Capt. Tanner says he will do the best he can to carry out your wishes, but that the season for out side work is nearly at an end in that re gion. Whatever may be the outcome of his work off the Columbia river this fall, I will make it a point to place the Alba tross upon the grounds you .indicate at as early a time as possible next spring, with instructions to make a complete survey, the results of which will be made known to the fishermen of Orecon with out delay. Very respectfully, JU. MCDONALD, Commissioner. A Warninjr. The modes of death's approach are various, and statistics show conclu sively that more persons die from dis eases of the Throat and Lungs than any other. It is probable that every one, without exception, receives vast numbers of Tubercle Germs into the system and where these germs fall upon suitable soil they start into life and develop, at lirst slowly and is shown by a slight tickling sensation in the throat and it allowed to con tinue their ravages they extend to the lungs producing Consumption and to the head, causing Catarrh. Now all this is dangerous and if allowed to proceed will in time cause death. At the ouset you must aot with prompt ness; allowing a cold to go without your attention is dangerous and may lose you your life. As soon as you feel that something is wrong with your Throat, .Lungs or .Nostrils, ob tain a bottlo of Boschee's German Syrup. It will give you immediate relief. Nellie Boyd Company.

STATE ITEMS. Hoitly Clipped From Our Exchanges. Beef cattle in Lake and Grant counties are said to be selling on the ranches at from $18 to 25 per head. The fine sawmill of the Gardiner Mill Co. at Gardiner, in Douglas county, near the mouth of the Dmpqua river, was totally destroyed by fire Thursday night Also the schooner Una was burned to the water's edge. The Union Labor party of Oregon has now a state organization and three nomi nees for presidential electors, as follows; E. P. Hammond, Medford, Jackson county; H. B. Wilson, Albina, Multno mah county; J. F. Hendricks, Harrisburg, Linn county. Work was begun Wednesday by the Pacific Bridge company on the suspen sion onuKo wmuu us plum mo river as Oregon City. Some five of the wire cables were stretched across the river. It will take about a month to finish the bridge. The bridge is being built by Clackamas county and so toll will be charged for crossing it. The $15 a bushel wheat swindlers have again bobbed up with their notes, ob tained from Linn county farmers, on whioh they demand payment. These notes given by about a dozen substantial farmers of the county who were swindled aggregate about S3000. It is understood that these men will employ able counsel and vigorously defend the case. The secretary of the interior has con firmed the decision of the general land commissioner in the case of D.S.Rich ards vs. the state of Oregon as presented by the appeal of the state from the de cision of the commissioner rejecting the claim of the state to the land in seotion thirty, township twenty-three south, range thirty-one east Willamette mer idian, Lakeview, Oregon. The state claimed the land on the Ground that it was swamp and overflowed by reason of its being located on the mountain, and snow melted in summer, said overflow from the melting snow so irrigated the land that it was regarded as valuable; oinerwise it wouia do valueless. On Wednesday a feat was performed at Newport which was very novel and sur- S rising. Mrs. Fanny Seiforth and Miss lary Westfall who with a number of their friends, all from Polk county, were spending a few days by the seaside, and whilo standing upon a log which pro jected out into the bay, discovered a large fish slowly swimming toward them. They procured a large rook, and when the fish came close along side hurled the missle at him, and strange to say hit him square on the back which projected a little above the surface of the water. This entirely paralyzed their victim, and J rendered him an easy prey. They dragged him ashore, and the funny look ing fish proved to be a veritable shark three and a half feet in length. For "Astoria," Read "Portland." A lady named Perkins, of Portland, has been on the Harbor the past ten days looking for her husband, Ohas. Perkins, who left Portland, July 2nd, for Gray'sHarbor, aying ho would send for his wife iu.abpnt two weeks. Since that time she 'lias heard nu'th ing from him, and becoming nlarmed she started out in search of him. She went from the--Harbor to Astoria a few days ago, where she learned that her husband, together with three other men, had been drugged and placed on board, a vessel bound for Liverpool. Sue now desires to re turn to her father jd-Wisconsin, and await further news from her husband. she is in almost destitute circum stances and has twcrsmall children. uneiaiis yiaetteri J""4; Accidental "Crownins.

Deputy Fo garty took out a warrant for his arrest yesterday, charging him with having forcibly interfered with a cus tom house officer'. Customs officer Lannigan was sealing the hatches of tho ship Primrose Hill, preparatory to having her towed to the Oakland wharf, when the Wizard came along side and made fast to her. The offi cer ordered the captain to keep off, but Randall gave no heed to to the oommand, and towed the vessel, cus toms officer and all to Oakland. It costs all the way from 8500 to 5,000 to do that, if the act be proved. S. F. Chronicle, 11. Sale of a Lot In Portland.
