Washington, May (SpeciaD House passed 10
dav without opposition the bill n'hcred by MI ''on''
to admit to American registry certain IaS' S'"''7,
foreign built but Amcrican-ovncd steamships OF hoC
less than 900 TONS and capable of spccn OF hot less
than twenty knots an hour. IL Is undciSto0u "la.
the only ships Of that class 70 be aiected Dy inc
hill are the CITY Of Paris and the city OF New
yorI, and the purpose of admitting them 70 amcri-
can REGISTRY IS to secure them for possible use by
The Government as cruisers Of transports In time OF
war The bill meets the objections made 10 r'c
ship measures generally by requiring that the Acri-
en-, owpcrs. who must hold 30 per cent In
tcrcst I'm the vessels purchased, shall contract I'd
bnld in American shpvaris steamships OF SINH
lar aggregate tonnage and also by cxempfng all these
vessels from use In the cossting trade Of the United
states The Government may take the steamships
hourht and but under these conditions nj any time
for service as an auxiliary Navy upon payment Of a
fair value.
II Is sid that when with Chin was thrcaen'n
this country wanted to purchase the City OF New-iork
and The city Of Paris for immediate use but under
The laws Of Grvat Britain. II Is necessary that th~e
the British flag. This time TOO long for this
country to wait the vessels to be OF any service
~ all. and Therefore tie project was abandoned.
oh,crvsrs thnt some provisions shond be made for
such an emergency in tho future. The bill VIII
pr.lsilv pass the senate without objection and viii

VICTORIA, B. G., Sept. 15.-The seal
ing schooner Triumph has arrived here

40 miles off shore. 4 short distance
away were four schooners off their
guard
The Triumph had all her boats in and
was carrying all sails. She stood away
and the cruiser ran for the other four
schooners. Captain Whidden of the
Trump says the cruiser steamed among
the schooners and he is certain she must
have captured some of them, but a
heavy fog Shut off his view.
Two days later the Triumph sighted
the American bark Majestic, passed close
to her, and saw bottle thrown from
her which contained the following note:
You are in danger of capture by the Rus
sian Cruiser Iadiak, now at Copper Island.
