THE British ship Clan Mackenzie,
while lying at anchor in the Column
bia river, three miles below Kalama,
was run into by the steamer Oregon
few minutes after l o'clock last FRI
day morning and sunk. The Clan
Mackenzie was an iron ship of ,597 tons
burden, owned by Thomas Dunlop &
Sons, of Glasgow. She had a crew of
twenty-nine men all told, the sailors
being all colored men. She came
here from Rio Janeiro in ballast and
had very rough and tedious passage
having been eighty-three days on the
trip. She rounded the Horn three
times and was blown back and lost
two top-sails, and it seems hard that
after getting safely through all this
she should be sunk while lying at
anchor almost in port. The ship cost
$50, 600 and is supposed to have been
insured. The damage to the Oregon
amounts to about 81 900.

A CHURCH and several buildings
near Wilksbarre, Pa, sank into the
ground, on the morning of the 9th
ult. The loss is about 100000, and
its cause the mining of too much coal

The Alaska Seal Lease.

The 20-year lease of the sealing
privilege on tie Islands Of 81. Paul and
st. George Alaska, to the Alaska Com
mercial Co expires on the LIST of March.
Secretary Window invites proposals
till the 23d OF this month for the ex-
elusive right to take fur seals upon
those Islands for the term OF 90 years
from the first day of May, agreeable
to provisions Of the statutes OF the
United States. In addition to the
special requirements OF the statutes,
the successful bidder will be required
to provide a suitable building for
public school on each Island, and to
pay the expenses OF maintaining
schools therein during period OF not
less than eight months each year, as
may be required by the Secretary of
the Treasury; also to pay to the in
hahitants OF said Islands for labor per-
formed by them such just and proper
compensation as may be provided by
the Secretary of the Treasury.
The number of seals to be taken
for their skins upon the Islands dur
ing the year of 1891 will be limited to
10000 and for succeeding years the
number will be determined by the
Secretary of the Treasury in accord
ance with the provisions of the law.
The right is reserved to reject any and
all proposals not deemed in accordance
with the interests of the United
States and the inhabitants OF said
Islands. AS guarantee OF good
faith each proposal shall be accompan-
led by a properly certified check,
drawn on a United States bank, pay
able to the order of the Secretary Of
the Treasury in the sum of 100000.
The check of the successful bidder
will be retained and forfeited to the
United States unless he execute the
bond required by the law.
This differs from the present lease
with the Alaska Commercial Company
in reducing the catch during the year
from 100000 to 10000 seals.
Capt. Kohl, the owner of a fifth
interest in the Alaska Commercial
Company, when asked if his COM
pany intended to submit a bid,
said: Certainly we do. Our invest
ments in the shape of houses,
churches and schools, which we erect
ed at our own expense during the
past % years, are too valuable to sur
render without trying for another
lease" Captain Kohl said he thought
the contracts would not necessarily 20
to the highest bidder. "There are adj
vantages, he said," (which the govern
ment takes into consideration and I
do not believe the contracts will be
awarded to people who offer the great
est monetary consideration"

A CLOSE GALA Washington dis.
patch of the 31st reads: Clerk Nc
Pherson has received information of
the serious illness of Congressman
John B. Moffitt, of the Twcnty-first
district Of New York, and that he will
be unable to resume his seat at the
opening of the house. AS Cheadle, of
Indiana, is disgruntled and threaten
ing to kick the party traces in retalia-
ton for his alleged mistreatment by
Speaker Reed, who he insists ignored
him in the makeup of the committees,
the illness of Moffitt nay become a
serious party misfortune. Cheadle's
disafection leaves the Republicans
with but one sure majority.

THE New York Tribune has figured
out an advance of two or three cents a
pound on wool within q year. The
Bureau of Statistics shows that in the
first ten months of the calendar year
1889, our imports OF wool were 25,OOO,-
600 pounds greater than in the corre-
spending months of 1888. 1t does not
appear, therefore, that importations
necessarily reduce prices.
