day, came over the Umbria's course. Dur
ing the four days the Umbria has been due
the Manitoba sailed over about 1000 miles
of the Umbria's course and the fact that
she did not see her is some evidence, but OF
course not positive proof that the Umbris
was disabled before she had come within
that distance of this port.
The Cunarder Catalonia arrived in Bos
ton to-day, having sailed from Liverpool
two days ahead. of the Umbria. As the
Umbria sails nearly twice as fast as the
Catalonia she should have passed her on the
10th, and as the Catalonia saw nothing oi
her it is additional evidence in favor of the
theory that the Umbria was disabled so neal
to the other side as to induce her to try tc
return. Agent Browns belief that nothing
will be heard of the Umbria until the Brit
annie arrives indicates that he thinks she il
proceeding under sail alone and is not in q
condition to try to intercept an eastbound
steamer.
May Be Towing Another Vessel.
There is another possible cause for the
Umbria's delay, which was discussed to-day
the possibility that she is towing some
other disabled ship. This she would do
only for the purpose of saving life. If she
met ship disabled but in no danger of loss
her mail contract would forbid her delaying
her own Passage by towing, but if life was
endangered she could of course render any
assistance at any expense of time.
From the opening to the closing of the
Cunard office in Bowling Green today
there were many callers friends of passen-
gers on the Umbria- Some of them waited
anxiously for hours, and after making the
usual inquiry, "Has she been repofted?"
left. The Office telephone required the
constant attendance of clerk to answer
the same inquiry, which came from all
parts of the city.
There was something hopeless in the stu
atioe as many of the callers viewed it. The
fact that not only was there no news but no
way of getting it had depressing effect on.
them. Many inquired if the company had
sent out relief expedition, and were dis
appointed when they learned that this had
not been done. 1--WE must know whether
she is 200 or 1000 miles away before we
can send out relief" said Mr.. Brown. 'tOf
course if the first news of her comes from a
ship that spoke to her and did not or could
not tow her, as may be the case, we would
have enough information to warrant us in
sending out relief with reasonable hope
of finding her. It would be useless to send
out search expedition without any infor-
nation Whatever to go on"
Never So Long at Sea Before.
The Umbria is now longer overdue than
she has ever been before. Her longest trip
was in January, 1890, when she was onlv
three days overdue. 1t was recalled yester-
DAY that the Batavia, of the Cunard line,
left here on January 10, 1881, and was not
heard of until she was towed into Fayal, in
the Azores, on February 4, II days out. She

She was 450 knots east OF ST. Johns, N.
F. There is bare possibility that she
might have attempted, with the assistance
of a frelghter to make that port She has
had eight days to do it, in the teeth of
the gales that blow off the New
Foundland coast. The most reasonable
supposition at this date seems to be that
she has drifted down toward or to the
Azores, far out of the steamship track, and
that the next news of her will be either
from Lisbon, whence there is communica-
tion by regular steamship with the Azores,
or from steamship arriving at port from

SHIPPING TRADES LIVELY.
Many Moro Men Find Emp1oyment-Un
seawOrthy Ships sent Out.

Agent Thie,, of the sailors Union, reports a
great improvement in shipping during the past
few We ks. This is Largely duo to the moving
OF the grain crop. There are now but few saiI Tors
left on shore aside from those out on the rail-
roads aud some Of these are beginning to come in.
The union men are complaining about the
manner IL which vessels are frequently sent to
sea without proper precautions being taken for
the protection of the vessel cargo and lives on
board. An editorial in the Coast Sedrsens Journal
OF San Francisco. bearing upon this question,
makes tho claim that some oil the surviving
sailors from the ship William A. Campbell, lost
at sea about three months ago. have reported
the vessel as having gone 70 sea without the
necessary precautions to pace her in sea-
worthy condition. II Is asserted in the first
% ace that she sailed from Port Townsend with
fourteen men be!o the mast. OF these only
minority were seemen. the larger number being
foreigners and unable to understand English.
When the ship started on the passage there was
not a . neie spare sail In the locker. The run
ming gear WAS mostly old and the worse of chaie,
while the only rope to fall back upon for rehtting
was two coils OF 2iS-inch manila.
The second charge 10 that there were no tar
psulins on the matches. with the exception OF
single ono on the after-hstch. which WAS not
bsttened down, but allowed 10 play about at the
Measure Of every breeze The anchor chains
were slowed away and the hawse- pipes and
chain pes left open. through which large VOL
umss of water rushed in every seaway. The sea
slled the deck and streamed down the matches,
which were not battsned down. thus filing her
with water until she sank so her deck WAS on .
level with the surface o. the water, and she had

tits claimed by sailors that instances OF YES
sells PUTTING TO sea in this haphasard manner
are not uncommon, and il is probable an ag.ta-
ton may be stirred up on the question which
will attract the attention OF underwriters

TIE MEDICAL LAKE ASYLUM.
Large lnceease In Number OF Inmates,
and Large Percentage Of Cures.
NodinSl IsR cd

DR.. Semple has just completed the first bien-
nial report of the Eastern Washington hospital
for the insane and presented 1t the board OF
trustees, who, together with their own, will
forward it to the governor.
Last year began with 90 men and 40 women, q
total OF 1873. Fifty men and "a women were adj
mitted during the year. making the total num-
Der under treatment 20A Twenty three were
discharged as recovered, IL as improved, 2 as
not insane, and died The percentage of re-
coveries Is 81. This Is high. as the average in
other Institutions is,under 3D.
Reports of the various institutions have not
yet been published, so comparisons cannot be
made for this years work. The lowest percent
age OF deaths in any institution in the United
States last year was 2.5 per cent. while in the
Medical Lake hospital this year it is but 3.3 per
cent This completely refuies the reports cir
culated by certain irresponsible persons that the
water supply OF the hospital was impure, for
without pure water anu good food as q bass no
medical treatment can be successful.
A great deal of outside work has been accom-.
plished during the past two years. A stable,
carriage house. stock barn. storehouse and ice
house have been erected. The road to the hos
p.tai has been widened and grated. Much
grazing has also been done about the grounds.
Within the building many changes ami I'M
provements have been made, and not the least
among them beng the fitting up of the stage
The farm has been wonderfully productive,
cons dering the fact that OF it was in sod last
year. Among the products are forty three tons
OF potatoes, 5000 cabbages (many of them weigh
ing from twenty to thirty pounds each), 500
caulinower, sixsy-three tons OF turnips, carrots,
onions, squash, parsnips, beets, etc. In sddi-
ton to this there have been tons of tomatoes.
celery, melons. radishes, lettuce, corn aud vege-
tables OF like nature. 1t was esp .ciaiy crafty
ing to note the wonderful growth of tomatoes
and celery, both OF which were said to DO doubt
full crops in this vicinity. Two and half tons
of ripe tomatoes and 500 heads OF celery were
harvested. Not vegetable has been purchased
during the entire summer, and enough remains
in stock to supply the institution during the
coming winter.
An orchard of 500 fruit-bearing trees have
been set out, and are doing well. Next year q
sufficient quantity OF small fruits Will be set out
to supply the hospital III this direction.
