SAN FRANCISCO DISPATCH.


FROM INC bhterpFiso Oh yesterday.
SAN Francisco, September IL. - The
Grant Invincibles, under Major Stratmah,
and the Tanners turned out strong last night,
forming procession with torches, banners
and transparencies, and marched to the resi-
dence Of Mrs. Viola A. Todman, where the
fnvicibles were presented with a beautiful
Gag by Mrs. Todman on behalf Of the loyal
and patriotic women of San Francisco. The
lady made very neat presentation speech,
to which Mr.. Verdenal responded in behalf
Of the Invincibles.
A dense fall Of smoke and fog has over
hung the city and harbor since last evening.
1t was at first supposed to be the smoke
from burning forests in Marin county, but
kilograms from Yreka, Marysville, Stockton
and San Jose report the same state of atmos-
phere at those points, and il is now supposed
to be smoke from burning timber in Greg II.
A gentleman just from there reports that tho
fire covers an area Of two hundred square
miles on each side of the Columbia river.
1t was rumOred this morning that tidal
wave, six feet high, had swept into the har-
Dor. Thousands Of people rushed to the city
front to see what -tfrct had been produced,
found that they had been h"axed. Al least
he rum0r has not been confirmed upon any
good authority.

The Alabama claims are TO be treated
upon by a mixed commission, which
the British Government has agreed
shall sit at Washington. 1t is now said
that Prussia will not be the arbiter OF
the difficulties. If the English claims
for damages unavoidably sustained by
citizens of the south during the war;
blockade runners, spectators in con-
federate bonds, and others of like char
acter,-are allowed to put in to offset
our claims, we shall very likely find
that we are the debtors, and the whole
purpose of the negotiation will be de-
featcd. Is it uncharitable to suppose
Minister Johnson would rejoice in such
a result?
