CoquiLLB C it y , O rb The keeper aod assistants at North Weet Seal Rock Light Station, re cently witnessed an unique sea fight, in which a sea lion and • monster devil fish were the oombatants. The first intimation they had of the struggle was seeing the water near by violently agitated and churned into foam as though a submarine demon were venting his spleen up on eome denizen of the mighty deep. Shortly afterwards they saw a large sea lion come to the surface in the deadly grip and embrace of the much dreaded octopus, whose long powerful, tentacles enoircled the entire body of the sea lion, thus apparently rendering futile all efforts on its part to escape. Final ly, after repeatedly diving and try ing in vain to free itself, the sea lion was seen to bend back its mas sive long neck, open his cavernous mouth and seize one of the tenta cles of his foe near its body, which member it snapped off and devoured with avidity. This operation was repeated until the octopus, bereft of its tentacles, had perforce to let go, whereupon the sea lion pro ceeded to feast upon the body un til satiated, after which other sea lions, who had hitherto held aloof, although laboring under great ex citement during the battle, fell upon the carcass and ate up the residue. The octopus was fully twelva feet in diameter, and would never have released his intended victim bad not the eea lion acted ns above stat ed, thus vanquishing a foe who is feared by all and beaten by few.— Orescent City News.

Victoria, B. 0., Oct. 12.—By counterfeit certificates of rosidence, produced by photo-engraving on a quality of paper just like that in bona fide certificates, United States Chinese exclusion laws have been set at naught the past three years by a skillful company of Chinese, with headquarters in tbis city, and profits estimated at upwards of $150,000 have accrued to the mem bers in consequence. So excellent has been the counterfeiting that the company might have continued to operate indefinitely but for the purely accidental' discovery and ex posure of its system. Officials say that otherwise the false certificates would never have excited suspicion. The government has no way of dis covering to just what extent it has been victimized, and information in this connection comes chiefly from the Chinese, who realize reluctantly that the “ game is up" at last, and sadly admit that it has been ex tremely lucrative.

The decision was on a demurrer interposed by Attorney Ed Menden hall to tbe information filed in the circuit court charging Peter Grant and Nate Solomon, proprietors of the Portland Club, with conducting u keno game, following the action of Justice Seton in holding them to answer on preliminary examination.
