Enough dynamite and nitro-glycerin to have blotted the steamer Albany out ot existence was found lying on her hull. guard,ju:»t above the water line, Tues day morning. The explosive was tamped and set with capsand fuse, ready for the catastrophe which some fiendish if not disordered mind had planned. Nothing but a succession of fortunate circumstances prevented the obliteration of the boar, and Chief Officer W. B. Matheson, who was sleeping on board. The fuse was defective and burned out in the first place ; then the cold, damp weather probably had the effect of pre venting an explosion later, when Captain J. P. Whitcomb,mistaking the dangerous charge for a heap of dirty rags and Absolutely Pure paper, which it resembled, picked it up and threw’ it a dozen feet up on the Oak THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE I i street dock without realizing the des- perate chance he was taking with his lite.

The presence of the white sock and the tissnepii|>er napkin leads Detectives Snow and Kerrigan to believe that the work may be that of a Chinaman. They learn ed that the boat has persistently de clined to employ a Chinese cook, and thus has caused much anger among several Chinamen who wanted the job. It is consei|uentlv regarded as possible that the intended blowing up of the Albany was meant to serve as a revenge and a warning to other rivermen who spurn Chinese labor.—Oregonian.
