The Missing Steamer Excelsior.

SAID TO HAVE BEEN SEEN IN THE RAPPAHANNoCK
RIVER.
Some anxiety has been felt here by persons
whose friends left this city on the steamer
Excelsior last Sunday afternoon. The steamer
should have arrived here Tuesday morning
and is now about fifty-six hours overdue. The
superintendent Of the Potomac steamboat
company has not yet received any message
from the crew. He, however, apprehends no
danger, but THINKS that the steamer has put
into the Rappahannock river to avoid the
rough water III the bay.
LATER-THE EXCELSIOR SIGHTED
This afternoon Supt. WEIGH received dis
patch from NJ. d. Scott, of the Weems line in
Baltimore, notifying him that the steamer
Westmoreland sighted the Excelsior about 3
O'Clock yesterday morning, anchored in But
ler's hole in the Rappahannock river. 1t is
supposed that some of her machinery has be
come disabled. No fears are entertained as to
the safety of the passengers. About three
weeks ago the steamer ran aground and re-
manned fast in the mud for eight DAYS The
steamer Jane Moseley will run to Norfolk this
evening in place of the missing steamer.
Provisions and Clothing for the Navy.
POINTS FROM THE ANNUAL REPORT OF PAY
MASTER GENERAL FULTON.
The annual report of Paymaster General
Fulton, chief of the bureau of provisions and
clOluInS, 10 the Oecretary Oh the Navy, has
been made public. 1t states that under the
recognized system boards of inspection render
service of great value to the government. All
supplies submitted for delivery under con-
tract, or by open purchase, must be carefully
inspected and tested by three officers, whose
unanimous approval is necessary. This method
is so widely different from that formerly in use
that most encouraging results have been
achieved. A marked improvement is reported
in the quality of supplies delivered In view
Of the Importance of the work. and the exact
ing and responsible duties of the inspection
officers, the bureau recommends that at the
more important stations the boards should be
provided with suitable Offices and convent
ences, with a clerk. An entirely new system of
books an returns for keeping property ac-
counts has been devised that is expected to
yield valuable results. The paymaster general
recommends the repeal, by Congress, of the
act Of March 8, 1881, regulating the mode of
purchasing tobacco, requiring costly advertis-
ing. He also recommends that Congress be
requested to consider the propriety of modify
ing the existing law as to advertising for sup
plies as he believes that for advertising for two
weeks instead Of four would be sufficient.

A Warming.

The modes of deaths approach are
various, and statistics show conclu-
sively that more persons die from dis
eases of the Throat and Lungs than
any other. 1t is probable that every
one, without exception, receives vast
numbers of Tubercle Germs into the
system and where these germs fall
upon suitable soil they start into life
and develop, at first slowly and is
shown by slight tickling sensation
in the throat and if allowed to con-
tinue their ravages they extend to the
lungs producing Consumption and to
the head, causing Catarrh. Now all
this is dangerous and if allowed TO
proceed will in time cause death. At
the onset you must act with prompt
ness; allowing a cold to go without
your attention is dangerous and may
lose you your life. As soon as you
feel that something is wrong with
your Throat, Lungs or Nostrils. OBJ
tain a bottle of Boschee's German
Syrup. 1t will give You immediate
relief.

Reducing the Surplus.

The disposition OF the Surplus in the

our Statesmen, but more vital question
has our attention, and that is the reduc-
tion of the Surplus Consumptives. Since
the discovery and introduction of DR..
Kings New Discovery for COnSump-
ton, there has been marked decrease
in the mortality from this dreaded dis
ease, and it is possible TO still further re-
duce the number of ConsnmptiveS.
How By keeping constantly at hand
bottle of DR.. Kings New Discovery,
and using according to directions, upon
the appearance of the first symptoms,
such as Il Cough, Cold, Sore Throat,
Chest or Side Pain. Taken thus early
cure is guaranteed.

SALMON ITEMS.

A gentleman from Yaquina states
that the fall run of salmon has COM
menced in earnest, and the canneries
are in active operation. The salmon
are large this year, many of them
weighing as high as fifty pounds.
The boats of Allen Parker's cannery
brought in Sunday night about fifty
fish. A large run is expected this
week, and the catch of the season, it
is thought, will be much larger than
last year. The run has commenced
about two weeks earlier than usual
Albany Herald.
The Skeena river canneries are full.
The fish are still running, but there
are no tins to pack them in. At the
rivers inlet, Shotbolt, Hart and Dra-
ney's canneries have secured 1900
cases of fish and are still running,
boats averaging 200 fish per day.
The run is unusual, continuing later
than any year since 1882.
The fishermen at Tillamook bay
have organized a union located at
Lincoln, Tillamook county.-Vidette.
The salmon run so far this season
has been very light, and none of the
canneries are running more than half
time. Many of the Indian fishermen
have become disgusted at the scarcity
of fish and have gone to the hop
fields. Jack Simmons, who two
years ago made $500 in two weeks
fishing, left for the hop fields yester-
day. He said he was willing to re-
main and fish, but he could not get a
crew, as the Indians would not work
unless he could promise them So per
day each, and he could not do that
the way fish are running at present,
and so he joined the hop brigade.
Cannerymen are not discouraged, for
they know that if they do not run
now, they will run later. In the
meantime they are getting their
traps and seines ready, to reap big
harvest when the fish do come.-Se-
dttle Post-Intelligencer, s.

The whole of the Pacific states and
territories can. no doubt, produce six
to seven million tons of sugar, enough
to supply 80 per cent. more than the
present consumption of all the civil
lied countries. That consumption,
though, is increasing very rapidly,
and it doubles in the United States
in about twenty years. Thus in that
time it would absorb all the possible
production of the state. The value
of 3, 10000 tons of sugar would, at
five cents per pound, be close on
three hundred and fifty million dol
lars per annum.

ions.
The first few days presented sights
that made the bravest respondent.
The first panic lasted about a week

scarcely a change of clothing, from
the scourge. Every county has its
own board of health and quarantine
officers are stationed at every point
where any kind of a road enters the
