many favorable comments have beep
made concerning the change In shape of
the hull of this steamer. It Is a vast im
provement on ber previous condition end
reflects considerable credit on the build
ers. Captain Bell of the Surprise has not
yet been alble to get away to his Alaskan

The German VlsurgSs, which left Swan
sea two weeks ago for San Francisco, is
under chanter for wheat loading, upon
arrival, at 35. The BrUUAi ships Swan
hllda and Australia and The Hahnemann
ifrom Hamburg are under charter to
load wheat from San Francisco next De
cember at 31s 3d. A British bark of 1,200
tons has been chartered to arrive In this
river to load flour for Europe in August
at 398. It is thought this may be the
Balkamah from Rio.
The ship Mary L. Cuahlng has been en
gaged to load petroleum at Philadelphia
for Japan at 10 cents per case. This Is
equivalent to 1 cent per gallon. It is
sad to be the lowest price ever accepted
by a ship owner for a service of that
kind. Allowing ten pounds to the gallon,
the rate is less than (2 per ton. The ship
wiH carry 60,000 cases, which means a
lump sum of $6,000 for the voyage. The
inducement is a good freight back from
Japan. This ship was in the same tirade
last year. Tonnage at astern ports must
be in a depressed condition when such
rates are the test obtainable.
There Is a good field open for Inventors
in the getting up of some life-saving ap
pliance (hat can be throws quickly Into
the water and be mode immediately avail
able. Recent disasters to ocean steam
ships, with the terrible loss of life accom
panying, have demonstrated that the
boats of a vessel are of very Hwle use
In heavy weather. Even If the boats
manage to get away from the side of the
ship without being crushed, thy are In
constant danger of filling or capsizing.
Tne most feasible form tor the appliance
to take Is apparently in the shape of a
raft, strong, yt light and perfectly flex
ible, that it may not be damaged by be
ing dashed . against the wreck nor goto
pieces on the crest of some mountainous
sea The collapsible rubber hoot patented
some time since by a New York man,
mention of which has beun made, goes
far to solve the question of life-saving
at sea, but to the person who will in
vent a raift that does not require the as
sistance of the crew to launch and which
when aflowt can be managed toy the pas
sengers, no matter how unused they may
be to the sea, there Is assured a. fortune.
Tho New York eorresspondent .,of Falr
pl.iy, writing under date of Way 18, says:
The Big Liverpool paid Jl.OOO this week
to tow tOO miles to St. John, N. B., to get
a cargo of deals thence to Calcutta; the
Eulomene sailed for Newcastle, N. S. W.,
In ballast; the Forest Had for Portland,
Oregon, In toallast, and the Claverdon to
.the same port from Boston also In ballast.
The above are all British ships, tout the
dearth of freights is f eit equally by Ameri
cans. The big Wandering Jew is going
to Java for toallast for orders, while the
ilenry Failing and Independence, as well
as the barks Western Bell and Bell of
Oregon, all well known 4n China and Pa
cific coast trades, are carrying coal coast
wise in tow in default of something bet
ttr. Why the Eiuomene and other ships
did not go down to Nova Scotia and take
coal from there to Sao Francisco Instead
of going round the Horn to toallast is a
conundrum probably to be answered only
by the lack of enterprise of the Nova
Scotia mine owners. They could not
carry coal from an American port on tha
Atlantic coast to Son Francisco, because
the law excludes foreign ships from that,
being a domestic trade, tout they could
get bituminous coal cheaper at Nova
Scotia .than at Baltimore, end the dis
tance Is very little greater, besides which
the duty, would be no greater at San
Francisco than the duty on coal from
Australia. I aim not aware that Nova
Scotia coal has ever been shipped round
the Horn, tout much of It has been sent
to the West Indies and South America,
and the quality of it is much better now
on an average than was the output of
a few years ago. Yet the only foreign
export from the Canadian provinces that
any one seems to consider desirable Is
either timber or flsh;
Somewhere in the locality of Hakodate,
Japan, says the Colonist, of Victoria, the
Victoria .sealing schooner Rosle .Olsen,
whioh left here in command of Capt. A.
B. Whidden on the 28th of December
last, Is a total wreck, she toeing the sec
ond of the home fleet lost this year. Just
where the accident occurred Is not stated
in the cypher catolegrami which Mr.
Andrew Gray one of her owners re
ceived from Hakodate. The message an
nounces that the crew are all safe, and
that the schooner's catch of 630 skins was
landed In good condition. From this
meagre Information tho owners have
come to the conclusion that the schooner
man ashore at the entrance to Hakodate
hartoor a most dangerous and treacher
ous channel, much dreaded toy navigators.
According to arrangements the Olsen was
to put into Hakodate on June 15, and
from this and the evidence of the saving
of her valuable cargo In good condition,
the opinion is formed that It was at the
entrance of the hartoor she foundered.
The Intention was that she should land
her skins at Hakodate and there fit out
for Bering sea. It is probable that now
Captain Whidden and his crew of five
whites and some twenty odd Indians from
this coast will return home as soon as
possible. The Rosle Olsen is insured for
$5,00, nearly her whole value. Her own
ers are Messrs. Andrew Gray, of Spratt &
Gray, A. K. Monroe (they having a half
Interest), Captain Keefe and (Messrs. Cook
and Dempster. The schooner was
toought on the Sound about five years ago,
where she was employed as a steam
freighter. She was built about 1879 on
the Columbia river, tout on being regis
tered under the British flag her machin
ery was taken out and she was converted
Into a sealer. In 1892 she was one of the
schooners captured toy the Russians for
alleged trespassing on their territorial
waters. On that occasion she was re
christened tihe Prize by the Russians,
who, upon finding they could not hold her
prisoner, ssnt her back to Victoria, with
the crew of some of the other sealers
ctptured the same year. This is the
second season for the schooner on the
Japan coast, and If her year's operations
hud not been so abruptly ended she
would, it is expected, have secured a very
profitable catch. Further particulars of
her loss are anxiously awaited, tout her
owners do not expect to (receive them
until Captain Whildden arrives. The Rosle
Olsen was the first steaimer to leave port,
having got away toefore the old year was
out. Her mishap has been officially re
ported to Collector of Customs Milne.
AT THE CONCxREOATIONAL CHURCH
We live In an age of missions. The
present century may toe termed an age
of universal missions. "No longer in par
ticular regions, but in all unchrlstlanized
parts of the world, and among all races,
among the highest civilized as well as
the most degraded, even on the remotest
coasts and islands, where many languages
and dialects ere spoKen, the cross of
Christ has been raised. I am not unmind
ful of the fact that during the Apostolic
age the new faith spread throughout
the whole of the Roman Empire, but in
this, the age of universal missions, the
most distant and destitute e,re approach
ed, and no land, and scarcely a tribe Is
left unvislted. When, a century ago, the
church as a body took up the work of
evangelizing the world, many great obsta
cles stood In her way, to human view un
surmountahle. The world seemed locked
against the church, and the church seem
ed Indifferent to the condition of the
world. Converts were punished with
death; missionaries were martyred; wom
en were shut up in harems; some races
seemed too high, others seemed too low
to be reached by the gospel. Now all
these obstacles are removed. Progress
may toe seen ia another direction. At
the close of the last century there were
but seven Protestant missionary socie
ties. Today these seven have become
seventy In Europe and America alone,
viz: 25 in America, SU In Great Britain,
9 In Germany and Switzerland, and 16 In
other European states.
The translation and distribution of the
Sorlptures Is one of the factors of this
world-wide evangelization. At the be
ginning of this century the Bible existed
in some fifty translations, In the language
of one-fourth of tho earth's population.
Now It exists in the languages of over
four-fifths of the Inhabitants of the world.
The Bible Is read today in over two hun
dred end fifty languages; thirty-nine of
wWch had no written form until Protest
ant missions created it.
- In a room In Geneva Voltaire boost
Ing'.y said: "Before the beginning of the
nineteenth century Christianity will have
disappeared from the earth." Since that
time the very room where these vain
words were uttered has been used as a
Bible depository. Since 1804 over one
hundred and sixty million copies, In
whole or In port, of the word of God
have been scattered broadcast.
And most of this work of translating
has been done toy evangelical mission
aries. They have proved that no lan
guage Is so bartoarous that the Bible can
not be translated In It, that no Individual
heathen Is eo brutish that he cannot
become a new creature in Christ Jesus,
And today thousands Of converted canl
toals In the South Seas, and Bushmen in
Terra del Fuego, and even Papuans in
Australia and New Gulent s'.and as liv
ing witnesses to this truth.
More than ail the generations of the
past we con take up the words of the
Psalmist: "Let the ends of the earth
have seen the salvation of our Lord."
"Arlne, shine, for thy light Is come,
and the glory of the Lord Is risen upon
thee." "Even o come. Lord Jesus."

A
Jackson Between Two Stools
Ignorance, or What?
THAT
PARTY
OF
FOUR
The Host 'Mad a Hasty Departure
Leaving; His Three Guests in
His Own Boom.
Several weeks ago, at the request of
Mr. Jackson, principal of the Cedar
Street School, (Messrs. R. N. Wright,
Olark and Williams, respectively princi
pals of the Court Street, Uppertown and
Aiderbrook Schools, met at Mr. Jack
son's rooms to talk over the idea of
conducting union commencement exer
cises, when all the schools of the city
Bhould combine in one united entertain
ment. At that meelng it was unanimously
decided that the proposition should be put
into practice, and all present agreed
that, before final action In the matter
was taken, it would be better to wait
till after the various institutions had held
their examinations. This was done In
order to allow of the four principals
choosing from among the pupils of the
eighth grade A classes a valedictorian,
the honor to be given to the pupil from
any one of the four schools who received
the highest percentage of marks on all
papers combined. An adjournment was
taken, at the suggestion of Mr. Jackson,
to 3 p. m. on Thursday last at bis rooms.
At the hour fixed Messrs. Wright, Clark
and Williams went to iMr. Jackson's
rooms, tout there were no signs of Mr.
Jackson. Each of these three principals
had Ibrought with him the examination
pipers prepared toy the pupils of his
elghth grade class, and, in order that
vukuatole time Should not be wasted, be
gan to compare notes. It was then found
that Mr. Wright had entered the room
with thirteen papers in his pocket, the
highest marks for any one of the tiilr
teen being 93 per cent. Mr. Clark had
two papers, with his highest pupil's marks
averaging 91 per cent. Mr. Williams sur
prised both his associates by bringing out
a series of papers written by a young
lady In the Aiderbrook school which he
had credited with an average of 93 per
cent. Laying aside their own papers
both Mr. Wright and 'Mr. dark Imme
diately, at the request of iMr. Williams,
gave their attention to his set, and ex
amined his markings and the balance of
each paper thoroughly. After a search
ing and detailed examination they hear
tily congratulated Mr. Williams on the
excellence of his pupil's work, and agreed
that the percentage marked on it was
exactly correct. AH the papers In the
Aiderbrook set were models, the mental
arithmetic sheets "particularly containing
the finest school work .that either the
Court Street or Uppertown principals
nact ever looked at.
At a little after S o'clock, an hour aftar
the appointed time, iMr, Jackson hastily
entered the room, and professed to have
forgotten the place of meeting. He then
brought out his own set of papers. There
we.-e thirteen of them, and the highest
was marked 98 -6 per cent, toeing a frac
tion above Mr. Williams' markings, and,
If correct, entitling Mr. Jackson's school
to the honor of producing the valedicto
rian for the union exercises. This set
of papers was handed by Mr. Jackson
to Mr. Wright, and he, with the other
two principals, then set about examining
them. The first paper opened, was on the
subject of grammar, and much to the as
tonishment of everybody in the room,
with the exception of Mr. Jackson, five
serious and glaring errors, in addition to
those which that instructor of youth had
marked, appeared dn U. The spelling pa.
per was the next to toe taken up and the
contents of this occasioned even more
surprise. There were three unequivocal,
positive and unmarked mistakes, In the
spelling of three simple words, and two
other unmarked errors In the body of
the paper. For example, the word coun
sel, meaning advice, was spelt council,
and had toeen passed as correct by Mr.
Jackson. The geography paper devel
oped three more glaring and unmarked
errors. It and the grammar paper were
figured at 100 per cent each by Prof. Jack
son. Messrs. Wright and Clark iramedl
ately decided thiat the unmarked errors in
any one of the three papers named were
sufficient to disqualify the set from first
place and agreed without hesitation that,
though they were sorry to see their own
institutions out of the race, Mr. Williams'
examination paper was far and away
superior to any other in the room. The
three principals then called on (Mr. Jack
eon for an explanation, of the flagrant
discrepancies in the marking of his best
paper. He stood up In a white heat, and,
after raving and behaving like a child,
declared that the paper was correct, and
that it should not be touched, and that
If his school did not get the valedictory
address, he would throw the whole thing
overboard. He was asked to explain
many of the simple unmarked mistakes
in spelling, tout snatching up his papers
In a bundle and without a word of apol
ogy or explanation, told the principals
that he would run his own affair and
would under no circumstances join in
the union exercises. He then left his
rooms, leaving the three gentlemen who
had come there at his invitation to their
own devices.
They at once decided to go ahead with
out the assistance of this erudite indi
vidual and hold union commencement
exercises the following morning. This
was done, and, according to the fair and
hononalble decision of the whole of the
teachers concerned, the Aiderbrook young
lady was honored with the duties of vale
dictorian. The same day Mr. Jackson's
school accomplished Its exercises, and the
valedictory was spoken by a pupil other
than the one whose papers were In dis
pute on the previous day. Among the
twelve pupils' papers presented by Mr.
Jackson there were four above 92 per cent,
according to his markings. Nobody can
say whether these were worth fifty per
cent or mot, as they were not examined.
Messrs. Wright, Clark and Williams de
sire that if any statements made by the
Aitorlan this morning be called into ques
tion, Mr. JaCkson shaH produce the pa
pers spoken of and confound this calum
ny. He either deliberately mlsmirked
his papers, or he is not a fit mail to have
eximined them.
He cam take his choice.
THE NEW THOMPSON.
How She Appears In Her Renovited Dress
, and Expensive Fittings.
On Sunday night a large number of p-H-ple
visited the R. R. Thompson at her
dock and were received and treated with
great courtesy by the officials of the
O. R. and N. Company, and officers of
the boat. With many river -travelers
the Thompson has always been a favor
ite, and hor staunch build and steadiness
for night running have often been favor
ably commented on In these columns.
Thoroughly renovated and repaired as
ehe Is now she will undoubtedly not only
hold the friends she has made in her past
years of satisfactory service, but gain a
teirloo of new ones. From one end to the
other she has been altered and redecorat
ed. Heavy whit enamel paint runs
a'.ong the whole Interior of her saloons
and dining rooms, relieved at she Intersec
tions and squares of woodwork by bands
of gold W ho if an Inch deep. Th state
rooms have toeen completely refurnished
with new carpets, (bedding, and spring
maittresses, of .the latest pattern, and
with their very large size and comfort
able surroundings form sleeping apart
ments as excellent as any shore accommo
dations could toe. The ladles' cabin is
richly decorated In white and gold, with
ciaret plush coverings to ad furniture
and posts In that portion of the vessel.
The armchairs, settees, and lounges, all
of the most expensive character, were
formerly aboard the steamer Olympian.
Amidships on the saloon deck the "over
flow cabins" tht run along the center
between the staterooms have not yt been
put In, and this omlaaoin, while It makes
the steamer unable at present to cope
with a great amount of extra passenger
travel, shows oft the wide sweep of the
beautiful middle saloon to the fullest
advantage. This has toeen newly car
peted for its whole distance, and refur
nished with a dozen of the most hand
some and tasty rockers and sofas that
could be purchased on the coast. The
forward saloon has been Just as carefully
and xpens:vely dealt with, and nothing
left out from the fittings that could In
any way tend to promote the comfort
of travellers. On tha saloon deck are
large and handsomely arranged lavatories
and the Thompson Is now the only atern
iwheeli jboait on the OohimfMa having
these conveniences on the upper decks.
Captain Snow's cabin. Just below the pi
lot house, Is of course furnished In a
sumptuous and elaborate manner, and in
foot the rooms of all the officers have
been renovated with every attention to
the smallest details. Steward Simpson's
apartments, situated amidships on the sa
loon deck, are provided with everything
needful for himself and his visitors, and
are arranged in a most dainty and elab
orate manner. In the pilot house, barr
ing the wheel and the hydraulic steering
gear, everything, even down to the stove,
Is new. A series of cull buttons puts the
pilot or captain Into immediate commu
nications with any part of the vessel,
and six inches from the steering handle
Is the small wheel that operates the new
1000 candle power search light, turning
It In any direction desired. This light Is
exactly the some size and power as that
on the Potter. The Thompson has dis
corded her coal oil lamps and has from
top to bottom been lighted with elec
tricity which sheds Its beams down from
some of the largest and finest electroliers
ever seen on a steamer In this river.
The dynamo that supplies the light ser
vice runs at a speed of 4G0 revolutions
per minute and la a powerful and elab
orate piece of mechanism. The lamps
themselves are very brilliant, being of the
double coll variety, and holding the light
In a smaller space than those ordinarily
in use. On the engine room, Chief En
gineer Geo. Fuller, ably assisted by paint
ers and decorators, has expended a great
deal of time and thought, and the result
well repays tolm for his trouble. Every
thing in this domain of whirling wheels
and throbbing engines Is open, uncrowded,
and beautifully dean. The vessel's hull
has been phactloally renewed , and
strengthened In a great many ' ways,
whll Improvements to her Wheel it Is ex
pected, will give her greater speed than
ehe has ever yet developed. Agent Louis-
berry, Captain Snow, Pilot Joe Turner,
Steward -Simpson, and Chief Engineer
Fuller were kept busy till a late hour
in the evening esconting visitors over the
It oat, and all exerted themselves to the
titmost to extend every courtesy that It
was In their power to show.
THE OIL WORKS.
Inlterealng Process of Making Oli Out
of Fish Heads.
A reporter was entertained eX the
works of the Columbia Oil and! Guano
company the Other day, and the process
of making m was thoroughly explained
to him by the accommodating manager,
Mr. T. J. Gorman.
The ftsh offal Is delivered at (he factory,
in tooalts, arranged for the purpose, which
pass under the dock and unload by means
of large buckets ret down from above
through a trap ta the floor of the dock.
The offlal Is hoisted to the third floor,
where it ta dumped Into large steam
tight elteet retorts. It Is during tha pro
cess of unloading from the boats that
there to some Utitle opportunity dor odors
to arise, particularly If the boats are
not always kept as clean as Ithey should
be. The offal itself Is brought fresh from
the canneries dally and there can be
only the ordinary smell that is noticed
about a eaaraery.
The steaim retorts, where the offal Is
cooked, are run under 40 to 60 pounds of
steam pressure from eight to ten hours
for each charge. The oil is drained from
the retorts Into a separate tank on the
second floor, where It le again cooked
under 60 pound pressure. From this tank
the oil goes into Ithe refiner, where It Is
blown through finely perforated slteel
eheelts. From Ithe refiner the oil passes
into a Battling tank, from which It Is
barrelled for shipment. From the time
the offal goes Into the retorts until the
finished dH is barrelled and the fentiHser,
mainufacftured from the resldlum matter,
is turned into the bins noneiat the mate
rial ever see daylight.
The matlter remaining In the retorts,
after Ithe oil Is drained off, Is forced Into
the large fertilizer drum, which is built
with double walls, or an Inside and out
side jacket. Between these two jackets
eiteam constantly circulates and on the
Interior a set of paddles revolve which
agitates the matter for about an hour,
'thus thoroughly drying the matter and
producing a first class clean fertilizer.
The offensive gases srfctng In the fer
tilizer tank are conducted Uturough large
pipes to 'the furnace whero they are con
signed. The gas and steam from the
cooking retorts are forced through a 800
foot coil of pipe and thence into steam
trap where the steam condenses and re
turns to the hollers, and the gases art
carried through other pipes Into the fur
nace and burned.
This is one of the finest piianfts In the
country and Ithe engines are of the most
modern design, smooth working and al
most noiseless, and second to none In
the city.
The odors about the factory are about
the same as Crom the cooking salmon In
u cannery. The offal Is brought dally
from all of the uprlver canneries on pas
senger boats, and from all of the city
oa.nnerie, so that it goes Into the factory
fresh. The plant Is now prepared to take
cure of all of the refuse from all of the
canneries wilthin reach and are ready to
put their goods on the market.
The oil produced has a clean color and
is used with the beat results on the en
gines In the plant. A bottie of it, sev
eral monlths old, when uncorked emitted
no unpleusanlt odor,
The guano, or fertilizer, Is manufact
ured into two grades and Is of the Very
best grade.
Many of the neighbors In the Immediate
neighborhood siy that they notice no dis
agreeable odors Cram the oil factory any
more than from tihe canneries.
A few more enterprising manufacturers
are needed in this city to produce more
wcaMh for the community.
