The vessel wlien complied will be the largest in tine world. It ls to be chiefly employed for freight, but will also be able to ac commodate 200 cabin and 1300 steerage passengers. The order Jns been given to Mie British' yard, as its tender was more moderate than those of the Ger man Shipbuilders, and as. the former contracted to deliver the vessel In fen months, w'hlle the latter demanded to be allowed nineteen months. E. A. Morris, of Vancouver, 11. C, re ceived an Interesting letter from Wood Island, Alaska. This states that one ot the men engaged in overhauling the hulk of the schooner Walter A. Earle, of Vic toria, . happened to find In the debris a souvenir watch presented by Mr. Morris to one of the members of t'he crew of the 111-fated vessel. "This fact In Itself," the letter continues, "Is not very remairkable, but It Is curlou3 that this little souvenir s'hould be found In the wreck after th? rough treatment 1t and received." The Inscription on the watch, with Mr. Morris' name, Is Just as plain as it was on the day it was pliaced there.

Lieutenant Dun woody of the revenue cutter Hush, who brought the Olsen down from Behring Sea left for San Francisco last night, He will meet the Rush when ehe arrives j there next month. He stated to an As- i torian representative ye--terday that there j was no doubt of the Olsen being within the 60 tnlle limit as the officers of the I cutter were very careful to take their exact bearings. He did not believe, how- ever, that the Olsen's presence In the forbidden waters was. Intentional. Her chronometers were found to be Incorrect by the captain of the Rush. The steamer Mischief. Capt. H. R.

The Tacoma News says: "With the advent of the steamers for carrying lum Iter from Fujret Sound to South Africa, and establishment of steamship lines to the Orient the- coal mine of Pierce county find more demands for their pro ducts. Since the Northen Pacific Steam ship company started Its line, 60 steam ers have left the port of Tacoma carrying away in aggregate, 75,804,000 pounds ot coal, all from Pierce county mines. This means that each steamer took 758 tonB of coal to last her from this port to Yokohama. The new line from Puget Sound to South Africa, has coaled three of its steamers here and each of them can-led fully as much, as did the North ern Racine steamers. Taken in aggre' gate, the trans-a'aclflc steamers which have left the port of Tacoma; since the establishment of the two lines, na-vB rarrieu away ror tineir own use 40,176 tons of coal. This means the em- p.oyment or a large number of men in mining, and also In transporting this product to the vessels." The Commercial News rays: "When the August steamer sailed for Australia v. heat frelgWts were 1 10s 6d, orders, uouat options, for approved Iron or steel ships. The tendency was downward, however, owing to unfavorable advices from the grain consuming countries.

At the close more inquiry Is developed, although the spot demand Is slender, and for large carriers 1 4s orders have been obtained, showing a decline of 6s 6J In four wseks. Tem porarKy it is believed Miat this Is the end of the decline, and with anytlring like a fair demand more steadiness and some improvement lij the volume of spot business may be looked for.

Harrison's Sin Francisco coal circular contains the following; Since the departure of the teamsr Mairiposa there have been tho following arrivals from Australia, viz: Harvester 2135 tons, Royal Forth 4G5S tons, Marpesla 1962 tons, Crocodile 3726 tons, Brunei 3720 tons, Crlc cleth Castle 2671 tons, Stanmore 2656 tons, Scottish Moors 3600 tons, Levcnbank 3747 tcns.Ullenbreck 2919 tons, Dominion 2120 ton., Mllitiades 1943 tons, total 35,713 tons. This la the largest quantity of Newcastle coal to arrive In thirty days that ihas been recorded in some time, but little of this will be yarded, as It goes direct to consumers, ihence the market price Is but little affected. There are about 28.000 tons due (here In the next thirty days from Newcastle; thia with 30,000 tons due from Swunsea within the same time, will keep our jobbers very busy handling same. There is still over 128, 000 tons carrying capacity engaged In Australia to transport coal here, so that there will be full stocks of Mils grade for months to come.

"According to Captain Gilbert's own ac count of his voyage, It was the spoiling or provisions that brought the sealing schooner Director back to port from the Bering ?ea on Wednesday evening. The supp.y of flour got wet and the free waiier also became more or less contam inated with the "briny." Owing to this tllie sealer returned to port earlier than t'lie would otherwise have done, for Cap tain Gilbert believes fine weather was Hke'.y to prevail after his departure for home. The fleet was operating to the southeastward jof the Islands. He re ports the foKowIng catchea: Triumph, 1.000; Sapphire, 1,200; and Florence M. Smith, 800. These were among the best catches reported, while 'other schooners had had miserable luck. Another seiz ure ls said to have been made, but Cap tain Gilbert, who reports a rumor to that effect, could not get It confirmed. This ly prove as unfounded as that pre viously brougili't In concerning the Alnoko, fjr local sealing men, In view of the c"-fhruel aibsnce of the Alnoko, now entirely discredit the rumor of her sels-"-. The sealer now reported In trouble '. the Ltbble, commanded by Capt. Fred llckett, and owned by his brother, Chas. H i -kett. She Is a Nova Scotia schooner and one of the staunchest and finest ais weH as one of the largest of the fleet. Being within the 0-ml!e limit is the offense said to be charged against her. Capt. Dan McLean, who has now charge of a San Francisco schooner, is said to have conveyed the news to Capt. Gil bert on the 20th of lant month, a few days after the supposed seizure." Colon ist. The San Francisco Cal! says editorially: "As might have been expected (and it is no whit the lees Inspiring for that), the people at large are eager and h'appy over the rumor that the Defender may be taken to Europe and there given an op portunity to bowfl over a row of trophies extending from the river Clyde to the eastern shore cf the Mediterranean sea. The true Yankee epdrlt, manifested In another direction, has already led to the publication of a Hut of some of the tro- phles, with particular assertions concern lng the kind of precious metal of which they are buKt and the market value of each In dollars and cent. We ourselves shouM be glad to see the Defender enter the lists with the complacent cracks of does nothing but crow. Now that Mr. Vanderbflt, who ls a typical American aristocrat, has acquired Mr. Iselln's Inter est In the boat and Is virtually its sola owner, he has sufficient tone to make a fair match with any of the supercilious srell.f of the Old World. The next In teresting Inquiry is, will the sailor named Hank Ha'ff be chosen to navigate the peerless boait through the quer waters of European racing courses? Phaps had the Ear! of Dunraven been as shrew. as he was patriotic, he wo il l have en gagd some such wise and experienced sailing muster to handle Valkyrie III j Is the hard, wily and daring- Yankee cklnper wlio handled the till?r of the TWnrir. For there Is no rillor In all the world to compare with the hardy men of the New England coast, and the Euro- pean .who brings to our Northern 'At lantic waters a skipper not brad to tlem carrleB a heavy handicap. Likewise the sailors used to European waters have an advantage of their own, which; even the hardiest product of America, even though he may have used the Defender as a whip on the Earl ot punnven's back, may yet find special reasons to re spect." ' T.iere Ya something radically wrong with the port of San Francisco complains she Bulletin. Skippers of foreign vessels complain of dock charges, pilotage charges and tlhe slowness of our mer chants. 'Not long ago a British ship that docked at a south end wharf had to pay over $900 In state wtfiarfaga tolls wihlle the waited for a slow local Arm to put Iher cargo on boartl. Now comes the British bark Helenslew, at Spear street, loading for 'London. The 'Helen.?'.ea Ihas taken on board a strictly CaMfornla.n car go of canned fruits, honey and other domestic products, but she has been. 37 days In doing so, and iher w'harfago bill, presented today.

The vessel wMt lose $2,600 through Iver California venture, and the out rageous tihairges of this htrbor are partly io ii.ame for Phe deficit. The revenue officials are blamed by sea captains, as are the pilots. Our pljotage charge are too Jilghi and the matter should be brought to Hie attention of the proper law maKers. it ls time to sound the aJlarm, for our business ls gradually drift ing out of our clutches and being turned over to northern competitors. The ship pers should do their part for the good of the common community and try to remember that this la an age of progress Ion and not of silurianlsm, and if we do not give foreign ships fair treatment and quick dispatch we shall become a terror to an craft owners who are send ing ships into American harbors. There was a, big seizure of shark early thlis morning at the Clay street market. Over a thousand pounds of the carrion fish were captured by Market Inspectors Davis and Jordan and arrests will be made today, the inspectors claim. They say they can prove that the sturk has been sold on the market as sturgeon, and that tho captured fish was being offered for sale to the many customers who are unable to tell the difference be tween shark and sturgeon. There la, how ever, a great difference between the carrion and the edible fish, despite their exterior ' reeemWance. and Inspector Davis says the carrion flsh is rank poison. It may not cause death Immedi ately, but fcerlous symotic dlseoaet al ways ensue from 'the eating of shirk. it was after 1 o'clock when the seizure was made, and Clay street market was Just beginning to wake up for the big Frway trade. A good deal of excitement was created when the Inspectors put In their appearance and began to look Into the contents of the flfh bins and ice boxes. Borne of the fish seized were skinned and frozen stiff. In thlu condi tion It Is almost Impossible to tell them from the sturgeon for which they ara sold. The proprietors of the stalls were on hand ,and some of them mildly pro tested against the work of the market inspectors. None of them denied the alliegaitlons, however, for the Inspectors caught them bringing the carrion flsh out of their ice boxes, In some cases, and In all cases the shark was prepared for the retail counters. A quantity of tainted halibut was also seized. The in spectors declare that the proprietors of tlhfese fish stalls will be vigorously prose cutes ana t.nat all the evidence needed for convJctton was secured In the carrion fish seized. One of the sharks captured was full six feet In length and weighed about 150 pounds. It was black In color and of the variety that Is considered especlalily dangerous as an article for table .consumption. The other sharks were about three feet In length and of the mottled varieties.
