in ballast. The vessel arrived iu all

tho straits, the weather shut In very
thick, and It was so foggy that he
could not make out bin nosition At
beven yesterday morning ho found
tho current was carrying tho vessel
toward shore, and canto to anchor,
not knowing what part of tho coaM
ho was on. During tho day ho tried
to laud In a small boat, but though
tho sea was smooth where tho vessel
lay, there was too much suif.
At 12:;t0 this morning the tug came
alongside, and tho vessel arrived at
eight tills morning.
The vessel was not on her beam
ends, and was not in trouble at any
time.

fifteen or twenty tramps struck

a systematic course of working the
people for food, old clothes and
money. Tho citizens put up with
their presence, until this evening,
when a number of young men,
headed by Marshal Ardcry waited
on them and asked them to leave.
Seven or eight started west without
any wouls, and the others scattered
along tho river claiming thoy were
east bnu ml. Two of those fellows
acknowledged to having been hero
llvo years ago, when the town
was burned, but they dually all left.
It Is supposed that this is tho satno
gang that was driven out of Spokane

A Wonderful Sight.
On tho evening of, thu 11 of July
Taconia saw a sight which probably
the oldest inhabitant never wit
nessed before, and It was ono of the
most beautiful that human eye ever
beheld. Tho snowy top of Mount
Taeoma stood like a great mass of''
snowy white cloud above tho belt of
smoke that lay along Its base; the
last llngoilug rays of the mtti.ig
sun glided tho summit as if with
molten gold, and many bright and
pilHiuatlo colors gleamed about the
mountain sides. At tho moment
when tho sun was sinking toward
the surface of (ho Pacific, the upper
edgeof tho full round moon peeped
above old Tacoma's top and In a few
iiiiinients tho big silver disc stood as
If It rested with Its lower edge upon
tho bank of the suu-llt snow that
