Before leaving Capt. Henri Rehel, of the Rouen, was served an elegant lunch by Alex. Ollbert. The Damson Hill, which arrived down yesterday, has been a week on the way from Portland. She draws 21 feet of wa ter only, but owing to the low stage of water she stuck on Martin's Island and several other places en route. Word was received yfSterday that the steamer Chllcat, owned by Davi.l Mor gan, of Astoria, was ashore on the Sound, and as a result was filled with watnr and bad'.y damaged. Mr. Morgan left for the Sound hst night t look after matters. The published statements that the Jap anese government had closed a contract with English, builders for five war vessels of the latest and most approved type has been denied. Divers have refused to examine the wreck of the sunken Spanish warship Sanchez Barcalstegui, which sank at Ha vana recently, owing to ths large number of sharks that infest the harbor where the warship went down. In the case at the (Britishi steamer Cat terthun, recently lost on the coast of New South "Wales, Australia, while on a vcyage from Sydney to China, the cor oner's Jury returned i verdict that the ship lhad been iwrongfuCly navigated; but that no blame attached to the second officer. Fifty-four lives were lost by .the disaster. Mention was made, in the Commercial News iately of the launching of the White Star line steamer Oeorgle, the largest freight carrier afloat. A few days ago she sailed from New York for Liver pool, having on board) the largest general cargo that ever left America. The fol lowing entries were In her manifest list: 700 Tiead of cattle, 9,000 sheep, 1,000 quar ters . beef, 136,000 busheZs wheat, 90,000 bushels corn, 650 boles cotton, 1,000 sacks flour. 1,800 bags allcake, 1,800 cases of oat meal, 1,700 boxes bacon, 300 barrels of resin, 700 barrels of glucose, 1,000 cases of canned goods, 300 packages of soap, 400 barrels of wax, 300 barrels of bark extract, 1,000 barrels of lubricating oil, 100 tons of wood, 8,000 packages of acetate of lime, 150 barrels of oxide of zinc and 10,000 packages of cooperage stock. Among the Interesting items In the Coos Bay News of September 25th are the following: The schooner Maid of Orleans is prob ably a total wreck near Chetco, Curry county.' She Is a 161 ton vessel, and was commanded by Captain John Ross. The work of rigging the new four-masted barkentlne, at North Bend, Is about completed, and when she finishes tak ing on cairgo,she will sail for Chile. The Mansanlta picked up the whistling buoy,' off the entrance to the harbor Sun day, and towed it to Empire, preparatory to taking It to. Astoria. She came up to Marshflold in the afternoon, and on Mon day took on coal at the railroad bunker. The Homer was beached on the flat opposite town Sunday, for the purpose ot putting a flange on her propeller. While unscrewing the nut, the . shaft was broken,' and the vessel will1 tie detained here until the arrival of a. shaft from the city "which Is expected on next Arago. Concerning the wreck of the steamer HumboCdt, on the rocks off Point Gorda, Humboldt county, the San Francisco Journal of Commerce says: "The vessel went on the rocks In 41 thick fog at 8:30 o'clock Saturday morning at a Joint a little south of Point Gordo. The stsamcr, which usually runs close to ths shore, was proceeding slowly, with Captain Ed wards on the bridge, when suddenly she struck, and it was found that she was in a nest of rocks. The vessel truck first bow on, and to those of the passen gers who were awake the concussion seemed te be no greater than if the steamer had run Into a floating log." The Humboldt was built and launched In Eureka October 2, 1675, and has been on the route between San Francisco and Eureka ever since. She Is valued at about 17,000 and Is Insured. Her owners are Richard Sweasey, manager; I. R. Brown, Thomas Balrd, Solomon Cooper, T. W. flweasey, Mrs. M. A. Henderson and Mrs. Louisa Powers of Eureka, and M. Kalish and Mrs. IB. C. Asten of Ban Francisco. ' ' A great deal at trouble en British mer chant vessels If often eausea ny men who are enraged as stewards and cooks, they frequently being Incompetent for their positions.

San 'Francisco Commercial News. THE CHUI8E OF THE ALBATROSS. Discoveries That She Mado on the Floor of 'Bering Sea. A Wihatcom special to the Post-Intelll-gencer says: The long summer's cruise of the United States ship Albatross vir tually ended with her arrival here Wednesday, direct ifrom Bering sea. Her mission this year may be said to have been two-fold to obtain as much new knowuedtre as possible of the marine life of the nortWwestem waters and especially as to the seals and their habits, and to determine by careful and exten sive soundings tlhe general sub-marine topography of Boring sea. The vessel was - admirably equipped for ithe servlco In these two fields. The commander, Lieutenant Commander Drake, was es pecially desirous of 'demonstrating the truth or falsity of his preconceived theory as to the existence of a great ridge or hump In the bottom of the sea, which he believed mlgttit account for the course taken by the seats In their annual migra tion to the north. This theory he out lined in a lecture In San Francisco be fore the Albatross went north last spring. Ths knowledge gained this season has exploded it, but he has the satisfaction, If there Is any in it, of knowing that the wprk was all' done under his direction and that there can be no question about Its ' accuracy. The scientific work re lating especially to the habits of the seals was conducted, as it has been for several years past, by Prof. C. H. Town send, dhlef naturalist, who spent part of Bhe summer upon the (Prlblloff islands, and who Is probably the best posted man In the United States upon the sealing question, 'having been one of Che most Important witnesses before the Bering sea, tribunal In Paris. MaJ. Alexander, who 'was associated with him In his work, Is stilt in the northern waters pursuing his investigations further, upon a sealing schooner. Yesterday in his snug little office on board the vessel Commander Drake gave the Post-Intelligencer corre spondent an outline of the long cruise at 10,000 tnttea and of the work accom plished, which In substance Is as fol ic ws: The AUbaltross left Port Townsend on the SOthi of May and went direct to Una laska, the chief coaling station in Ber ing sea, about half way out in the Ale utian peninsula. Calling there, She went nortto 240 miles to the PrlbiloTf islands and made a preliminary examination of tlhe rookeries, leaving I'rof. Townsend and his assistant, Mr. Miller, there, and also Mr. F. W. True and Mr. D. W. Pren tiss, Jr., of the Smithsonian Institution, who have returned and gone on to Wash ington City. From the Prlblloff islands, on the' 66thi parallel, the first line of the soundings was taken, In a course a little south of west, to Bering Island, wlbJloh Is the principal Island of the Kom mandorski group, lying HO miles oft the Sfberian coast, and 178 miles northwest of Attu island, the extreme westerly possession of the United States. The boundary line Is established half way between Attu and Bering Islands and extends northeast to. the middle of Ber ing straits, passing half way between St. Lawrence island and the southeast point of Eastern Siberia. The sound ings referred developed the fact that the Bering sea basin Is what might be termed a vast sunken plateau. Ninety miles out on the elevated Prlblloff plateau there la a. droo to 1.000 fathoms, deepening to 2,000 fathoms in a distance .of thirty-one miles. The depth is practlcany unuorm nearly all the way across the sea proper to within twenty miles of Bering Island, where there Is a rise in that distance ol 1,330 fathoms. This island lies In lati tude 66 degrees north and longitude 168 degrees east. It is. a Rueslon possession under the control of a governor. The population, which has doubled within the past two years by Importations from the Kamscatkan coast, subsists by hunt ing and Ashing. There are quite extensive seal rookeries on the island, which Capt. Drake examined, taking a ride of thirty miles in a dog sledge with, the governor on the Fourth of July. From Bering Island another line of soundings was run northeasterly, approaching the eastern Siberian coast near Cape OUntorsky, for the purpose of examining the Kamscat ka basin. For the first twenty miles from Bering Island the depth, was found to he 1,100 fathoms, which increased to over 2,000 fathoms, this depth bolng car ried a distance of 155 miles. "According to the chart," says Capt. Drake, "this points hould have placed us In the plat eau off Cape Olinorsky In less than fifty ifathoms, but we encountered a rise in passing over the southeastern edge of the plateau, the least depth of which was 410 fathoms, which varied to 697 fathoms In a dlstancs of forty miles. Our otservallions and soundings have estab llrtied the fact that this coast and plat eau are fifteen miles out In longitude to the eastward that is to say, the maps lndlcalte the position of the coast line to be fifteen miles further to the east than ft realy Is. We continued this line of soundings to a point 815 miles north easterly from sBrlng island, the depth Increasing to 1,900 fathoms, with Cape OUntorsky bearing west northwest 106 miles. Being again in the Bering sea basin, we changed our line of soundings to the south and east to return to the Prlblloff islands, finding all the way the rme genera) character, features and dr'ith of bottom ss In the nrst line, uniu within 146 miles of St. Paul Island, where a rise of 1,800 fathoms was found In twenty-eight miles, which brought us to the Prtbtloft plateau Inside the 100 fathom curve. The bottom of the Bering sea basin is composed principally of brown, green and blue mud and ooze, while ap proaching the plateau on both sides fine gray and black send Is found on the slopes, mixed wlthi gravel. We found several new species of marine life and one new species of fish. A careful survey of the PrlbMorf islands and of the rook eries was made, a full roport of which I wlH soon forward to Wathlngton City. I am convinced from my observations that ths rookeries are fast being de pleted and that ths virtual extinction of ths seals Is only a question ot a tew rears rf their annual slaughter is per mitted to continue as at present. The catch tWis year wIM not vary much from that of last season. I discovered no violations of the 'Jaw, and believe that the sealers are generally Inclined to re spect ths provisions. I am unable to say at rjresent what our winter's worn will be. We go to San Francisco from here and will await orders there." Ths Albatross has orders from Wash' Ington City to remain on the Sound a few days to make surveys of the loca tions of flsh traps at Point Roberts, Lormrtl and San Juan Islands. The or der 1s thought to have reference to the suit of ths Lunnml Indians against the Alaska Packing Association to prevent ths cannerymen from using traps or dis criminating wrslnst Indians In sal moo Ashtns;, Is violation, as alleged, or a treaty m1s by ths Indians with Gov. Stevens. II may, however, be only a con tinuation or the work begun by Prof, Townsend and MaJ. Alexander, of the fli CimhiiI lwi last spring. William Q.
