Advices from Victoria.

VICTORIA, April 16th.-The steamer Skide-
gate, with Captain Bladsdell and party, re-
turned from Queen Charlotte Island yester-
day morning, after an absence Of Is days
during which time the party visited and par
ticularly examined the above group, and also
examined the copper and iron deposits of
Texada Island Bay and the marble quarry
at Alert Bay, bringing specimens from
EACH At Queen Charlotte Island the party
visited the old works of the anthracite coal
mine. One vein six feet and the other two feet
six inches in width can be traced around the
mouth of the Seymour for a distance of
several miles, and are plainly seen in the
tunnel. A quantity of anthracite coal, which
is believed to be Of excellent quality, was
brought down, and will be subjected to a care
full test. 1t is reported that Captain Bladsdell
is more than pleased with the evidence OF
wealth he brings. At Skidegate Bay the
party visited Sterling's dog fishery oil re-
fnery, which is furnished with every modern
appliance for putting the live fish into re-
tort and running them off in pure oil in watts
ready for shipment. Preparations were max.
ing for the 6shing season. The weather at
the islands was beautiful. There are large
tracts of fine agricultural lands there await
ing settlers. The fur seal fishery north of the.
island is failure this year, and the Indians
belonging to Queen Charlotte returned
from the fishing grounds discouraged.
At Alert Bay great improvements are in
course of progress. New buildings are going
up, and an extensive cannery will be estab-
lished in time for the first run of salmon.
At Texada two men are working at the cop
per mine, and party are getting out iron ore
for shipment to the smelling works at Port
Townsend. News received from the fur seal
fishery on the west coast of Vancouver Island
reports the season a complete failure. Scarce
ly any seal have been taken.

Items from Portland.

PORTLAND. April 16th.-In the United
States Circuit Court to-day, the case of
Hatch & Lownsdale vs. Willamette Iron
Bridge Company was decided. The opinion
was rendered by Judge Deadly, Judge Saw
yer concurring. He held that the temporary
restraining injunction allowed few weeks
ago by Judge Deadly be continued until the
case could be thorouehly tried at the next
regular term of the United States Circuit
Court, to be held in September. The bond
required by the Court at the time the tempo
rary injunction was granted, to be given by
plaintiffs in the action, in $4,000, was in
creased to S25, 900. A motion made by at
torneys for the defendant, to allow work on
the bridge to proceed in consideration that
satisfactory bond be executed, was cverruled
by both Judges. This decision causes an en-
tire suspension of operations on the bridge
until the matter is finally settled by the
Court. As yet the bond required of plain
tiffs is not given. The loss to the Bridge
Company, caused by the restraining injunc-
tion, will be very heavy, as the delay will
probably work forfeiture of the contract
This afternoon DIR. Folkman, editor Of the
Vo{kesbIatt, German paper in this city, was
| met near the Newmarket Tbeater by the fore
man of the Zeitung and publicly and severely
horsewhipped. This chastisement was brought

man in relation to the Turn Verein Society.
The affair created quite sensation, and will
probably find its way into the Courts.
A man named Samuel Ashley, while par
tally intoxicated, fell from a bridge at Eu-
gene City yesterday and sustained very dam
gerous injuries. He fell distance of nearly
40 feet.
A young man named Lynch, living in
Umatilla county, was thrown from his wagon
by runaway team and very seriously in
jured on the 18th. The wheels of the wagon
passed over his body, breaking several bones
and bruising him terribly. He lies in criti-
cal condition.
II. Thornton, of Yakima City, W. T., was
run over on the 14th by team of frightened
horses and badly injured. His face and head
were fearfully cut and bruised.
Two fishermen, named w. H. Patterson
and M. Williams have been missing for three
days on the lower Columbia, and there is

Search is now being made for the missing

| About 2000 men, including those EN-.
| ployed in clearing the route of timber, are
now employed in the construction line of the
| Oregon Railroad and Navigation Company's
Railroad between the Cascades and The
| Dalles. The distance from the Lower Cas-.
cades to The Dalles, by the line as surveyed,
| is ~ miles. Much of the route presents
great difficulties, though there are stretches
| of considerable length where construction
will be quite easy. The number of tunnels
beyond the Cascades has been reduced to
| two. One of these will be two hundred feet
and the other about four hundred feet long.
