he was SO hampered by an incompetent inter

became boisterous. Dir. Bishop brought the
first part of tie programme to q close amid cat
calls and yells. and afterward anpourced
would entertain the audience with
selection of vocal music. But no sooner had Mr..
Millard begun 20 sing than his voice WAS drowned
by derisive applause, laughter and whistles. Mr..
Bishop began the second part OK the programme,
but after few words the uproar became so
general that the curtain had to be lowered.
TwothirGs of the assemblage became alarmed
and hastily departed. The rest insisted that
the curtsin should be rsieed again. and vocier-

form a single experiment.

He dared not leave the building for fear that the

The Information was received with loud and
prolonged applause, after which the spectators
slowly dispersed.
The intelligent part OF the audience undoubt-

ofOregon and Washington.

San francisco Bulletin.
After leaving Alaska the Albatross came
south, skirting the shores Of Washington Terri
tory aud Oregon. OF this coast three banks
were discovsred-one sixty-fve miles off Cape
Fiattery. one thirty miles west of Shoslwater
bay, and the third sixty miles west of Point
Grsenville. The depth Of water on these
BANKS is running as high Ms 1899
fathoms. From Cape Flattery to Gray's
hareor founders and other slow-moving
food fish were taken with the trawl. Tho
bank of Point Greenville is the most extern
sive of the three, being twenty-five long by
eighteen miles wide, with very shallow water.
the average depth being only forty-two fathoms
Although che season was toe late for successful
halibut fishing along these banks. SEINE few fish
were taken with trawl-lines. but the presence of
numerous dog-hsh and sharks gave reason for
the absence of the halibut Ia fishing here.
however, the trawlines cannot be left down
over night, as they chafe on the rocky bottom,
and oecoms too weak TO bear any great strain.
South of Cape Flattsry black cod and red rock
fish were taken. but in small numbers

seasons OF the year. to be a fsvorite haunt for
halibut So far the main work done in Alaska
has been the developing Of the 100-fathom line,
and. OK course. II connection with this, great
deal has been learned regarding the richness OF
the water so far as it provides food for fishes.
The richest water has been found off Alaska,
where it swarms with shrimps. prawns, crabs
marine worms, small holothurisns, mollusks,
etc. The Oregon banks are also rich in similar
feb feed, but not to as great an extent az those
of Alaska
AS far a. can be determined the varieties OF
food 6sh about equally divided between the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts, some kinds being
common here which are unknown to our East
ern cousins. while they enjoy soms varieties
which are never cauchs in our waters. No work
has yet been done within zoo miles Of San Fran
cisco, and none will be for some time. The AL
batross will probably remain in port for q month
aud will then pass the winter on the coast of
southern California, returning to Alaska In the
spring OF next year.
