The Canadian Australian! ..steamer Warrlmoo is ashore three mlles-from Carmanati Point, at the place where the Duchess of Argyle was lost. She is afloat forward and will crofc- ably float on. t!h next tide. 'No further particulars can be obtained from Carmanah Point, as to the Warrl moo.. Tha tug Lorn is speeding down the coast to her assistance, and the steamer Istander will follow with Canadian Pa cific railroad officials. The latter will take the passengers, who number about 100, if t'he steamship Is not gotten, off at once. The passengers are in no dan ger, as it is calm, and they could be landed at any t.me. If the wind springs up it is feared t'he Ship will go 'to pieces, but the strongest hopps are entertained for lur removal from tine ledge by the Lome.

Ia the event of (war between Russia and Japian, the United States may ifind Itself an Interest ed party unless Japan retracts from the position wihidh they assumed towards the United States during the progress of Uie war witiu China. It Is not generally kaawii tihat just be fore the declaration oi tUia armistice whiah preceded the aignature of the trea ty, of peace, -am issue bad-grown up be tween the United tSates and Japaa that tteeaterted to lead to actual hostilities be tween the two countries, and that a hos tile crash, tvu perhaps only arrested by the conclusion oif the Chinese war. This issue airose tihrouglh the assertion by the Japanese authorities of uhei right to search American' vessels. They insisted that they had the right to board an American vessel If they dhose, to take from her aray Chinese, or any enemies they might find, even though they were but passengers. ' Our minister promptly denied 'the existence of such a right on the part of a combatant, and a toot cor respondence ensued. Thei Japanese in sisted on their right, though Minister Dunn intimated that tlhe first assertion of such ia, right would be regarded by the United States as an unfriendly act and therefore likely try lead to war. Matters progressed to suih a perilous state that when Admiral Carpenter was ubout to escort an American merchant ship out of a Japanese port to prevent her de tention by the Japanese, the latter, it is said, gave orders to 'the shore batteries ai the mouth of the (harbor to flre upon wie American naval vessels if they at temptedi to do so. This fact came out after the conicu8loa of the armistice which fortunately occurred at Just this point in the negotiations, thereby pre venting an incident that wotild certainly 'have resulted in -war. But the significant point is that the Japanese have steadily clung to the same contention, promising serious trouble in the) event of another war In' the east. . JUMiPED TO HIS DEATH. An Oregon Man. Commits Suicide on Van couver island. Victoria, B. C, August 8 In a fit of despondency John H. Mullen, lately a real estate dealer in Albany, Or., Jumped from the Esquimau and Nanaimo railway bridge last evening, and this morning his body was found floating in the harbor. Mullen arrived hero ten days ago and while on his way wires a friend from Beattae: "Will be on the Seattle boat today or else good bye." He was feeling blue all the time he was here, but no cause is known for It, as be was said to have property In Seattle as well as in Oregon. He was 46 years old, single, and several years ago was agent here for the Singer Sewing Machine Company. His tongue was held firmly between his teeth, and the air In his lungs was kept from escaping, which made the body buoyant. BRADSTREETS REPORT. Improvement in All Lines Noticed. New York, August 9. Bradstreet's to morrow will say: The features of h business week are the continuance of a remarkable strength of demand for an increase in the production of steel and ; Iron, practically ell of the first-class pro duction plants having been put into ser vice, and not a few f the cripples. Strik ing as was the demand for the advance in the price of wheat, leather, cotton and other staples, for the month or txro fol lowing March 1 last,- no rebound sines the depression of ISM has been stronger or mors surprising than that In iron and steel. Of the same nature is the evidence of in roved business conditions shown b the activity fa most all maaufacturing- lines, particularly,' of . course, those in Which Iron and steel are employed. General trade on tha Pacific coast has improved within a month. One of t'he features is the importance of the foreign trade of Seattle and Tacomuv. Develop ment of our interchange of commodities iih Oriental, Mexican and Central and South American countries Is having a marked effect upon the cities named. JAOK90N'S SUCCESSOR. Names Mentioned, but Appointment Will Await Congress. Washington, August 9. There is much speculation as to who will be President Cleveland's choice for the supreme bench, to succeed the late Justice Jackson, but beyond the mention of available names there is mttle of a definite nature at this early date. It Is the general understand ing that no appointment will be made un til after the meeting of congress, aa the place is one of too much importance and dignity for a recess appointee to go on the bentoh and take the chances of a sub sequent rejection by the senate. It is suggested that the, selection is most likely to be made from the East, and probably from Njw York. The name of ex-Postmaster General Blssell is men tioned. Should Mr. Cleveland go to his cabinet for the appointment he is most likely to consider Mr. Wilson or Mr. Smith. The name of Representative Pat terson, of Tennessee, will probably be culled to the attention of the president, as he comes from the state of the late Justice. The names of Don M. Dickinson and Solicitor General Holmes Conrad are also mentioned. BICYCLE RACES. Chicago, August 8. All of the crack cyclists of the country, with, the excep tion Of a very few cash prize profession als, whose wants are mot orovided fop in this Instance, were on hand today at the National Cycling tournament which began this afternoon at the one-third mile track on the south side. The feat of riding a mile in competition in 1:B8 1-5, accomplished by B.iM, the Class B leader, was the particular event of the afternoon. When the start was made. Bald made a rush and 'toluehed on," iflrat at the rear of the triplet, and then ground out a warm pace fromi the start. Murphy, Cooper and Brown fol lowed Bald in order, but the others were killed off almost at the start. Going down the stretch he went past the pacemakers and finished alone. Gus Steele, a local iman, rode mile, paced against time, in 1:55. DUN'S IREPOiRT. Laborer's Wages to Be Raised in the Coal Fields. New York, August 8. R. G. Dun & Co. say In tlhelr weekly review of trade: Bus iness continues unusually active for mid. summer and though there is a perceptible relaxation there are no signs of reaction. One change of great Importance (which the past week has brought is the ami. caible settlement between coal mines and employes in Pninisylvanla, Ohio and In diana. It is said mbout 100,000 men will have their wages increased after October 1 by this adjustment, and while the en largement of the purchasing power is of consequence, it seams even more import ant that a chronic case of controversy has been removed by the new agreement as to company stores. Failures for the week ware 225 in the United States against 2C1 last year, and 43 in Canada against 64 last year. A BANK GOES UNDER. ' Principal Institution In Falouse Falls to Meet (Unexpected Demands, Palouse City, August 9.-The Bank of Palouse closed Its doors this morning. An unexpected demand from Its largest creditors, which the baulk could not meet, was the Immediate cause of the closing. The bank had a capital stock of $30,000. Chas. T. Cross was president, and J, R. Payne vice-president. The assets of the bank were 1106,000 and its liabilities $G6,000. The officers say they fwtll pay dollar for dollar, but It will take time. The bank of Palouse was the result of a consoli dation of the First National (Bank of Pa louse and the Farmers' Bank a few months ago. The principal creditors are Thels & Barrel, of Spokane, Wells, Fargo & Co., and the Vermont Loan and Trust Company. MURDER THE CAUSE. The iPendleton Fire to Cover a Murder. Pendleton, Or., August 9.-Today It was discovered that Geo. H. Clacking, a vic tim of Wednesday night's fire, was sec retary of the Elk Lodge at Cascade Locks, a young man of good, standing of that town, employed by Day Brothers on the government works. There are many reasons to think that some one was murdered before the fire was set, and that the hotel was burned to wipe out the evidence of guilt. A woman carried odt during the Are said that she saw a man lying in a pool of blood. The story was at first discredited, but now again Is made a subject of inquiry and the opinion Is general that she was right. and that there is much, evidence that the statement is true.

Five Thousand Cases Above Last Year's Pack. RESUME OF THE ' SEASON Royal fhlnookg Are Twenty Per Cent More Plentiful Thau They Were Last .Year, , Astoria, Or., 10 p ,m., 9th August, 1S9S. At midnight tomorrow evening the spring salmon season of the Columbia river for 1K5 will be a thing of the past, and below will be found our estimate of the pack, giving the total figures at 193,200 cases, of 6,000 cases In excess of last year's re turns for the whole river. The season now ondlng has been one of unusual hap penings and strangely fluctuating runs. From the 10th of April to the 20th fish ermen made extraordinarily good catches and it looked as it the year was going to dhow a very satisfactory advance over tho pack of 1894. Before the end of April, however, matters slackened up consid erably, and severe storms in the early prt of May almost entirely stopped the fishing for some days. . For three weeks the work continued unsettled with sparse occasional runs, the fish exhibiting signs of being fully a month aheud of time and much advanced la size and color. After slacking up to a very low average at the end of May the pack improved a great deal, Being unlformally good during the first week of June on the lower river,. On the Upper river at this time the can nerymen began to get anxious, for very fa flsh'had put in an appearance. Their anxiety was fuily Justified by subsequent results, and up to this date none of the canneries above the Willamette have made anything like an average pack, The lower river work went on satisfactorily till the 15th, of June, when the bottom fell out of operations and for twenty days .there followed a period; of almost aDsWOTCifltagnatlon,. Very few of tho canneries'were working a full. force of man, and everything looked like a heavy ehortuge. On Juty 9th, how ever, there was a very perceptible change and from that time to the present writ ing prospects have continued to improve. On Tuesday, July 15th, there was a mag nificent run of salmon, easily making that day the banner date of the year, and since then 'Chare have been soma ex ceptionally tine runs rwith very few dull minutes between, On the 3rd cf t'he pres ent month things slacked up slightly, but the pack has remained good up to date. While not equal to the correspond ing week of last year, the last six days have averaged fully 460 cases to each can nery per day, and the season comes to an end with a small surplus in place of a shortage. Probably the most noticeable feature .'Of the year's operations has been the largely increased pack of Chi nook fish, and the big decrease in t'he catch of bluclbacks.' The Increase of Chi nooks oyer last season is fully 20 per cent . Steelheads are short of last year's pack nearly 8 per cent, Ther is little doubt that the river has never been better or mora systematically Ashed than during the present season. The gear employed has been both more complete and more extensive than it was in 1894, and returns seem to indicate that gill netters have got considerably bigger re turns than men engaged with any other contrivances. Several of the seines have turned in excellent catches but many others have done very little, especially those higher up the river. The majority of the traps in Baker's Bay have not done as well as it was expectod they would do, but soma of 'the best built and those in the most favorable positions have sent in very big returns. The following Is the pack of Columbia River salmon for the last ten years: 't Year , Cases. 1&5... 603,800 1S6 479,250 18CT , 373,800 im 372,750 1889 , , 326,500 1890 433,500 1S91 , 372,760 tK!)2 , 602,800 1893 375,700 1S91 4W.700 189S 492.200 One of the extraordinary features of this season's work has been the largely increased demand for Columbia River calmon from Great Britain and the Con tinent, This year 104,000 cases will leave here for foreign ports as against 26,500 In 1891, a difference In favor of 1895 of 78,500 eases. So, notwithstanding the fact that 4000 more cases of salmon have been packed on the Columbia this season, there Ttlli be a shorbage of 70,000 cases for home consumption.' There is not very much of the pack yet unsold, though considerable stocks remain on hand. There was a Highest of all ia Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report very perceptible block In forward: sWp rrents at the beginning of the season, and this has had a tendency to loud; up things fup to the present time. Very few car loads have been eoid for delivery after September, and by the middle of that month no doubt this end (will ba totally bare of spring goods. It is certain thi.it' there is an increasing tendency in the trade to purchase mora frceJy of high, grade goods. Fall packing on tills river win begin on tha 10th of September. ID is probable that the price for raw ma terial will be higher than It was in 1S94. Tha following la a complete and accurate list of all the canneries operating this year, with their catches for ithe staaon. These figures have been compiled with great care, and Include an allowance on an average of 400 cases each, for the lower' river establishments for the pack that will be put up tomorrow: Firm. .

Tha report of the mineral resources now being issued by the geological survey, gives a short account of antimony and platinum. It says that antlmonlal ores have been found In a number of western states, chiefly' In Arkansas, California, Idaho, Montana, Nevada and Utah. The results of the examination of the Wack sands of the Oregon beaches have proved a dis appointment, the amount of platinum being scarcely 'noticeable, although the Band contains $1.55 in gotd per ton.

Arrangements Made for Construction to Commence. Mr. Hammond Is expected home today. It is thought tihiat he has completed all preliminary arrangements with the con struction company, and that it is now ready for work. Very few men could have accomplished in the same length of time, and with the facilities at hand, the financiering of so large a scheme aa tha Goble road, but Mr. Hammond's indomitaibla will over came all obstacles and Astoria will get her road not only a bora railroad, but all the accessories to make a prosperous community. Proper traffic arrangements will be made for the handling of business after tha road is completed. Manufac tories will be introduced; warehouses and elevators built; hotels erected and the city beautlfled. Some complaints have been mada that affairs have been con ducted slowOy, but few know of, or can raillze, the amount of detaii work in volved In such enterprises, and it will be found that all plans have been thor oughly made and carried out to the smallest details so that there wlil be no chance work In any part of the work and all results have been foreseen and plann ed from the beginning; It Is stated that even arrangements have been made for the running of Pullman oars on the new road when it chall have been completed. Mr. Haimmond Is trusting nothlna to luck. Those In charge of dpot facilities have not yet arrived at conclusions but it is hoped that their deliberations will end shortily.
