PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 23.-The suspension
OF the shipping firm of George Tweedy e.
Co, of London, who are the principal
operators Of the North Atlantic Trident
line of steamships between this
port and Swansea. Monmouth, Bristol,
and Amsterdam, was made known here
today at the maritime exchange and is
the absorbing topic Of discussion among
shipping men. as the firm was regarded as
one Of the staunchest in London. The
embarrassment is probably due TO
the failure OF the Black sea trade.
upon which they depended largely for the
employment of vessels. and shipping men
believe the suspension viii be but tempo
rary, as the company has large resources
upon which 10 draw Tor support.

OF Portlands failure to play, states that the
writer did no. understand that there was any
specific agreement with the Seattle club to play
these games, and that no provision had been
made concerning the division of the gate re-
ceipts. Concerning this statement President
Hardy said yesterday that the awarding of the
championship of the second season to the Sc
attic and Portland teams for q series of games
was part of the minutes of the league meet
ing at Tacoma last Sunday. At the same time
President Hardy agreed with President Hudson
on an equal division OF gate receipts, the clubs
to play TOUR games in Seattle and four in Port
land with one extra game in case of tie. In
view of the fact that the Seattle team was held
together for the especial purpose OF playing the
series of games under this agreement the league
could not consistently do otherwise than award
the pennsnt to Seattle.

SEATTLE ACKNOWLEDGMENT, MONDAY. OCTOBER s,

by some big bou.ders. which the company
had not the mac ainery to move, but der
ricks are now being built for the purpose.
Some good strikes of gaiena ore are re-
ported from Bridge creek. just across. the
summit from the Cascade river, showing
800 ounces of silver by assay, but no speci-
mems of the ore have been seen. Four feet
of snow fell in the mountains ten days
ago, but it has alI gone except about three
inches on the sursimit.
The Skagit Boom Company is building
one of the finest kooms on the Sound at the
mouth of the Skagit river. 1t is new
company composed of Tacoma people and
will spend about sS5 900 in improvements.
It is driving piles at the mouth OF the
river. has cleared all the logs which had
drifted against stumps and snags and is
setting shear booms to keep logs clear OF
these distractions in future. As result
loggers will be able to get their logs to
market every ninety days. On the strength
of these improvements about dozen new
camps have gone in on the upper Skagit,
where the largest and heaviest timber is.
