TWO MORE SEIZURES.
The Pathfinder and Ollie L. AIgar Taken
by the Rush.

Captain Algar, of the American seal
ing schooner Ollie L. Agar, arrived from
Port Townsend last evening, and brought
| information that two mere schooners had
been seized in Behring Sea by the U. S.
cutter Rush. The captain, who was at
once interviewed by reporter of the
Times, said: "The Ollie I. Algar was in
Behring Sea on the 3Oth of July, when
the Rush came in sight. At the time
We were fifty miles west of st. Paul. A
boat from the Rush put off and Lieut..
Tuttle came on hoard. He demanded

him, and having read them he searched
the schooner. He didn't find anything,
however. and said to him: We'll,

1t is understood that committee OF
citizens will have brass band at Union
wharf to-day on the arrival OF the Olym-

arrival of men and material for grading
the railroad. The chap was in converse
ton on Thursday with two leading di-
rectors Of the Port Townsend Southern.
The subject of grading was mentioned
and some letters and kilograms received
by those gentlemen were handed him to
read. The chap violates no confidence
in saying that the contents of the COM
municaticns were not of character to
make him lose hope. 1t was believed
then that within five days from the adj

TIE CHAP ON THE CORNER.

| In another column of this issue of the
ARGUS Will be found an item headed
stunted newspapers. The idea OF a
third paper being started in a city the
size OF Port Townsend is not one which
meets the approval of many of the busi-
ness men. They understand that they
will be called upon for support. The
proprietor OF the ARGUS came here six
months ago, full of hope and with a de-
sire to run newspaper on metropolitan
principles. Nearly every one he talked
with said, "if you will only publish the
dispatches you will be successful. Six
weeks after he assumed the management
OF the paper he began the publication of
the dispatches. The circulation of the
paper was not increased TWENTY-FIVE
during the three months in which they
were published Nor was that the only
disappointment. The publication OF dis
patches involved an additional expendi-
ture of four hundred dollars a month.
This OF course included the extra hands
necessary. 1t was thought that to cover
this the advertisers would be willing to
pay much higher price for the use OF
the local columns, but they were not /;
the fact was they were already paying
all they could afford to each of the two
daily papers. The papers in larger cities
than this, Victoria for instance, the Col
onist charges 81 per line for one inser-
ton of a reading notice-the ARGUS
charges eight cents. At the end OF three
months the proprietor of this paper
found that he had gone in debt twelve
hundred dollars, through his efforts to
give the people better newspaper.
Then when he discontinued them the
paper fell fiat, though the subscribers
have very generously continued their
patronage, and the circulation has slow
ly increased.
During the three months, and while
the proprietor was doing his utmost to
give the people what they wanted, no
one ever suggested bonus, no one hut
the men who were spending all their
means would permit, ever volunteered
to contribute one penny toward the sup
port OF the paper. The enterprising edI
tor who intends bringing plant here,
informed the proprietor of this paper
that the citizens had offered him s., ,0Go
to come here and publish his paper. Ii
this is so, and we have every reason to
doubt it, the chap thinks those people
who show their hberality to the new
man were not here three months ago, az
they show little gratitude to the man
who tried to benefit Port Townsend by
giving them paper containing the dis
patches.
If new paper is to come in let it be
edited by someone whose journalistic ex-
perience extends to some of the many
large cities, rather than confined within
the limits of places of not more than
few thousand souls.

Doubtless the next generation will greatly
surpass the present in wealth and resources,
but it will have plenty Of use for all its
money and all its irgeuuity If half Of the
great enterprises now being prepared for It
are carried into execution. OF one or more
Of tn ese enterprises the Hudson river. above
or below water, will be the scene. The hone il
held out that railroad will be laid in tunnel
under the river in time to bring visitors to
the Worlds Fair in 1892; but even should
that be done, more tunnels than one will be
wanted, or else 3 bridge, or possibly. in
course Of time, both tunnels and bridges.
Mr.. Gustave Lindenthal, Of Plttsbur1. the
WeIl-known engineer, has planned q bridge
from New Jersey to New York, which. il Ia
computed, will cost $40, ,000, 900. The follow
ing description is given Of this mammoth
structure:
The drawings show one span, 1850 feet
in length, clearing the river, and two other
spans, each over $500 feet, extending
from piers on the shore to the anchorage on
either side. The structure is to be 4 sus-
pension bridge, the towers sos feet IN

bridge, which are 2S0 feet. From high
water marx 70 bne uOOr OF the roadway il
12O feet, 20 feet more than that of the Brook
lyn bridge.
The span between the towers is 70 BE-
2,S50 eet. which is !, ,255 longer than that Of
the Brooklyn bridge. The shore anchor
ages are to be 210 ieet in height, $50 feet
wide aad 400 feet long, Of solid masonry. ex-
cept tunnel through the upper end for the
roadway.
The roadway is to be IS feet wide, and win
accommodate six railroad tracks. It will
be supported by four cables. two on each
side, passing over the towers and fastened
in the anchorage at either end. These cables
are to be four feet in diameter, and viii con-
tain Is, 900 steel wires each.
Tue two cables on each side are Joined to
gether with lattice trusses Of wrought iron.
each one Of which will weigh eight tons.
Running from the cables are six-inch cables
at short intervals, which sustain the road
way. The main cables viii weigh two tons
to the foot.
The full length Of the bridge is to Be
something over 1000 eet On the New
Jersey side the anchorage is to be placed AZ
the foot Of Union Hill in Hobokel. and il
order to reach the grade, which at this point
is 135 feet above the street level, the ap-
proach will have 70 commences near the
Hackensack river.

A PROGRESSIVE ART.
Since its invention 50 many hundreds Of
years ago. the industry Of glass making has
hourished vigorously. At various periods
people of number Of different nationalities
have been celebrated for their works In this
material. The Egyptians first, followed by
the Phenicians, were the first to discover
and make progress in the art which was af-
terward carried on much more extensively
by the people Of Venice, commencing there
during the seventh century, and, at later
period, Bohemian works in ornamental
glass found much favor In more recent
times. France and England have been the
countries most noted for their glass manu-
factures, but in the last few years the United
many branches OF the industry, and is
SAUcS4y COutc8lluS buclI BupfcLudoy IL Obuela.
AS in so many other fields Of art and in
dustry in this remarkably progressive age,
all that has yet been accomplished in glass
making appears as only trife compared
with what is yet likely to be achieved.
Industry in every form is now regarded as
of such surprising lmportancethat the bulk
of scientific research is turned toward the
furthersnce OF manufactures, and, in turn,
the glass industry exerts an incalculably
great influence upon the progress Of science,
furnishing as it does the only material out
of which many of the most important in
struments could possibly be constructed. In
this connection it may be rather interesting
to note that one OF the most strictly scientific
appliances ever invented-the lense Of the
known and used during the
earliest period in the history of glass manu-
facture. ALI the wonderful discoveries
which have since been made in astronomical
science had the way prepared for them,
when, centuries ago, one Of the subjects Of
Ptolemy II. turned the first telescope to-
ward the stars. No other instruments can
be named that have directly added more to
the sum Of human knowledge than the tele-
scope and the microscope, and we have as
yet scarcely entered the primary grade of
the lessons which they are destined to teach

Already Large Town, With Promises Of 4
Great Future.
The British Consul General at Odessa. in
report which has just been published and
which is summarized in the London Times,
describes Novorossisk, port on the coast of
the Northern Caucasus, which has been
brought into notice since the opening Of
branch railway connecting it with the main
line from Rostoff to Vladikavkas, in the
early part of last year. What was then an
insignificant village has sprung up into a
town of 5000, inhabitants. The port is al
ways open to navigation, and the railway
company has been theoretically pushing on
the works for facilitating shipping opera
tions.
Two wooden piers have been constructed,
alongside which vessels drawing % feet OF
water can load from trucks On one pier a
high-level railway has been made, 50 that
grain can be shot direct into ships holds.
Warehouses, capable of holding IS, 900 tons
Of grain have been constructed, with rails
leading to the piers, and by means Of cleo
trio lights loading can be carried on at
night. Steamers are thus able to clear with
full cargoes in three days after arrival. A
breakwater Is being formed to afford protec-
tion from the southerly winds. The port
dues, clearances, ETC., amount only to R1O or
e12 per steamer.
In the first six months Of the present year
20 steamers, independently of those engaged
in the coasting trade, visited the port and
cleared with grain cargoes; of these 46 were
under the British flag. The declared value
OF the grain exported in that period was
over e600, 900. In addition to foreign ship
ping, 217 steamers and 148 sailing vessels
under the Russian flag called at the port in
the same period. Besides grain, the chief
exports are naphtha, refuse and cement.
Most of the land in the neighborhood below
the vegetable mold is formed of cement Of
remarkable purity, and only requires heat.
ing in furnaces and grinding to become the
ordinary cement Of commerce. There is an
annual output of Il, 300 tons, nearly the
whole of which is taken up by the Govern
ment at 70s per ton.
The Consul General thinks Novorossisk
has great future. When the Azoy is frozen
in winter the grain arrested at Rostoff will
find les way to it. Moreover, in time the
rich plains of the Northern Caucasus.
which are now sparsely peopled on account
of the wholesale emigration of the Caucasian
inhabitants, will gradually be brought
under the blow, and for these regions it is
the natural outlet.
