Capt. Eichardson and chief officer Gregory, of the ifanzanita brought up from the Siuslaw river two octo pus or devil fish; they were picked off the buoy at the mouth of the river. They are quite interesting to look at. Owing to the depressed condition of the market for sardines, it is re ported that not half of the sardine fac tories in Maine will be run the present year. This will .materially reduce the demand for brass labels printed in pure French. Eegarding that item telegraphed from Portland that pilot G. Reed's statement, had not been sworn io, that gentleman says it is incorrect. He says that his statement was eigned by him and sworn to last Monday ween, wnicn is doubtless the tact. At a meeting yesterday of the direc tors or tne. Astoria nnd South Coast railway company it was decided .to forthwith order 500 tons railroad iron to build 13 miles of the road, and also havo out here a 20 ton locomotive. That's business. Look out for the lo comotive when the bell rings. An 810 lb. sturgeon was caught in the Fraser a few days age: a 000 lb. man-eating shark was caught at San Diego last Wednesday. Very laree sturgeon are common in this river, but nothing in the way of sharks or other marine monsters molest this north' -west coast as far north as Gray's har bor. At' a meeting last Wednesday even- ing of The Dalles board o trade a committee of three -was appointed to examine into the feasibility of placing opposition boats on the Columbia river, and to correspond with the Astoria chamber of commerce regard ing the project, and to report at the next meeting. The ship Altmore, Captain "Weeks, from Sydney, N. S. W., April 8, for San Francisco, has been wrecked at Neirvai island, in the south Pacific The captain and a portion of the crew have landed at Levukta. The first officer was drowned. A boat contain ing the balance of the crew and pas sengers in missing. About six o'clock yesterday morn-, ing a fishing boat apparently empty was seed drifting out over the bar. Later in the day a fishing boat with four men in it was seen near th hpnrt of Sand Island, sailing into Baker's nay. A boat belonging to J. G. Meg ler's cannery has been reported miss ing for the last two davs. The news in yesterday morning's Astobiax of-the appointment of Sol. BTirsch by President Harrison as min ister to Turkey was a genuine sur prise. Mr. Hirsch is at nresent verv near Turkey, being in Austria, but it is doubtful if he will accept. If he does, this country will have a good re presentative at the Ottoman empire. The Astoria?) is informed that last Sunday morning the schooner J.B. Miller and the brig Tanner left Coos bay, bound south. It is within the limits of possibility that either vessel may have picked up the missing boats of tho Alaskan. If so it may be a week or ten days before the safety of the occupants could be earned. Wm. Johnson shipped Billy Mc Cabe's famous dog "Bulger" to Taco ma to him sometime ago, but since then Bulger has concluded he would see the world nnd took a train for Spokano Falls, neglecting, however, to secure a return ticket A brother of Bulger, raised by the writer from a pup, was shanghaied and is now in Liverpool. Gen. Rufus Ingalls, the man whom the dead Mrs. Holladay picked upon as guardian of her children, and exec utor of her estate, and who Joe Hol laday objects to, was 44 years in the army. During the war he was chief quartermaster for a time. While in that position over 8400,000,000 pas sed through has hands, and his vouch ers and accounts when audited, came out right to a cent. At eleven o'clock last Monday night there was a collision at Port Town- send between the Idaho and the City vi rutoio. -j.ua laano was going into the wharf, and throueh the ton saw the Cilii of Pueblo.

"I have it from the very best authority in fact, from the interested partv himself that president Harri son has tendered the successorship of the late justice Mathews, of the su preme bench, tosenator J. N. Dolph, of Oregon. Mr. Dolph declined on account of the small working Repub lican majority in the senate, and it he accepted, the Democratic governor ot uregon would appoint as his cessor a Democrat." suc- The wonderful possibilities existing in a bushel of corn are thus figured out by the mathematical editor of an exchange: A bushel of corn distilled will make four gallons of whisky.

A. W. Utzinger, of the Western Amateur band, has a proposi tion from the Portland Fourth of July committee, but would prefer to have the band stay and play here. It is for us to say. If not wanted the boys can play in Portland. Let's get in and have our usual good time here. Combine patriotism and business. Let the merchants put up 8600 or 8800 and there will several thousand dol lars come that otherwise wouldn't. What do you say? Under the action of March 2nd Behnng sea was plaoed under the4 same restriction as regards fishing as were the salmon rivers of the country. President Harrison, lias "designated tho revenue cutters Bear and Hush to patrol Behring sea'and-nrrestrall fish ermen "who attempt to violate -the new law. A large number o'f sealers, fitted out at New England ports and San Francisco, Btarted for the Behring fisheries before the law was passed. Their owners want to recall them, but have no way to communicate with the vessels.. .Therefore the . treasury de partment authorized ' trie " Bear and Ruth to carry letters to the sealers from their ownersJ " On the banks of the Missippi river flourishes a large'insect which looks like a beetle and is called a tumble bug. Its most prominent character istic is to" select- a lamp of material that has once performed the duties of nutrition and passed through the animal,huTnan or otherwise, originally using it for .foed: This it rolls in the same material," the lump growinglarg- er. it continues to roll it, and doesn' t ao anytmncr else, nil tne lump gets so large that it has no strength left to roll it any further. Then it lies down by the side of this accretion of. a life time and it dies. Funny old bug isn't it? Silly little insect, indeed. Men have more sense, "They never do anything that looks the least bit like that, do they? m i Dr. Aug. C. Kinney yesterday re ceived a letter from Senator J. N. Dolph in which ha says that the sen ate committee of which he is a mem ber, will be in Astoria next Tuesday or Wednesday. Senators Dolph, Hoar, Allison, Morgan, Pugh, and others, are a special senatorial com mittee sent to this coast to consider and investigate our relations with Canada. They have taken consider able testimony in San Francisco re garding salmon, lumber and other in terests. These interests, and the matter of Canadian reciprocity are of importance to Astorians, -JThe Asto ria?? suggests that a special meeting of the chamber of commerce be held, and arrangements made for a suitable place for the distinguished statesmen to hold a session if they see fit, before which those of our citizens cited can give testimony on matters pertaining to the province of-the committee. Lumber, salmon fisheries, etc. can find worthy exponents and explainers here. Let us give the committee due attention when they arrive. THE MANZANITA IN. No Word yet Front the Alaskan's Boats, Tbe TJ. S. lighthouse tender ifan zanita blew her deep bass whistle at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. As Bhe had been in the same stormy water that had proved so disastrous to the unfortunate Alaskan, a representative or the astorian hastened to the dock. "Did you see anything ,of the Alas-A-an' boats?" was the first question. "No," was the reponse, "nothing but boards and wreckage from that vessel." Capt. Sebree and Capt. Richardson were interviewed. They said that the ifanzanita got to Coos bay last Saturday night. The next morning the ifanzanita landed supplies at Cape Arago, and Captain Sebree in company with superintend ent of construction Brownleigh inspect ed the station. Left Cape Arago at noon and proceeded down the coast toward Cape Blanco. At one o'clock in the afternoon the wind was so strong and the water so rough, the' wind south by west and a heavr head sea, that the boat was compelled to return to iunpire City, as there were indications of a heavy and prolonged storm, and it was useless to attempt to do any work. On Monday morning crossed Coos bay bar and went north 20 miles to the Umpqua river, where Captain Sebree and inspector Brownleigh inspected proposed new site. A Very, strong wind and heavy rain continued. Left Gardiner, crossed out rrora umpqua, went south; passed Cape Arago at 1230 p. M.'and anchor ed at Port Orford at 830 p.m. Capt Sebree and superintendent Brown leigh inspected Cape Blanco light heuse: left there at 435 p. m., set whistling buoypffFox rock, ANT) PBOCEKDKD NORTH. About 730 (Thursday) becran to see signs of wreckage, passed white painted boards, joiner -work, panels, doors, eta, and half a stern wheel. First officer Gregory went out in. a boat and picked up a life preserver with the word Alaskan on it. Then they knew there was a disaster to that craft. Where this wreckacre first becan to be seen by the officers and crew of the ifanzanita was about half way be tween Cape Arago and Cape Blanco lights, about off the mouth of the Co quille river and nbout 11 miles off shore, being nearly 30 miles to the northward of the spot where the Al askan went down. Not the slightest trace was seen of the missing boats. The Columbia was seen Wednes day noon, about 18 miles off shore, steaming north.- The Madrona came in to Port Orford on Wednesday look ing for a bell buoy that had gone adrift The probability of the boats drifting, getting to shore or being picked up by. a passing vessel was discussed, it being the officers opinion that tho best chance of the occupants of the boats lay in the probability ot being picked up. Capt Sebree went to Portland last evening. THE LADIES DELIGUTED.

Telf'raphlnc Under Difficulties. Last Thursday's business in the W. TJ. T. Co.'s office jn this city was the largest day's work in its history, sev eral thousand more words having been transmitted than on any previous day. Singularly enoucrh the bicreest dav's business was done under serious dis advantages. The line had been working very poorly ever since the big blow last Monday, and yesterday threatened to go to pieces altogether. Along about the time that the re ports about tho Alaskan disaster were speeding over the wire to all parts of the oountryi a big fir near Weatport took a notion to fall and pulled the wire down, imbedding it in the oozy mud of tho tide land; then the ancient fir settled right down on the wire and Mr. Henderson had to hammer on the key in a way that was fine as a developer of muscle, but heartbreaking to an operator on so delicate an instrument as a'sender. It was like pulling teeth to send messages over a wire that had three inches of mud and 13,763 ft. lumber, board measure on top of it But after an hour of this sledge hammer work the line repairer drag ged the tree off and propped the line out of tlie mud, and then the tele graphic transmissal was more fluent so to speak.- This office sent" away over 12,000 words and received a few.
