. mer's travel.
The beautiful little steamer Alarm
was brought over from South Benz
yesterday and will be employed in car
! rying FISH to Cooks Clifton cannery
this season. 1t seems almost too bad tC
put such an elegant pleasure boat tC
fish tenders duties to be slobberec
over with blood and slime.
AT s CLOCK Thursday morning the
first mate and boatswain of the British
ship Copley adjourned to the dock al
Section 8 Of the seawall at San Fran
cisco and settled the differences that
have arisen between them IN the voy-
age by a combat according to London
prize-ring rules. The boatswain was
much the better boxer of the two, but
the mate outwelghed him fifty or sixty
pounds, and won all the falls, which
were nearly as furnishing as the little
fellows facers and body blows. The
brutal affair lasted for nearly a quarter
OF an hour, when both men were bathed
in blood and nearly exhausted. Cap
tain James interfered and made them
shake hands and promise to indulge in
no further unfriendly manifestations.
The 1ve-masted schooner Governor
Ames will leave Seattle for San Fran
cisco today with $500 tons of Black
Diamond coal. The schooner is lying
at the Oregon Improvement bunkers
taking on her cargo. She is the larg-
est schooner of her kind and has no
equal on the Atlantic or Pacific coast.
Until a few days ago the Governor
Ames was at Port Blakely without
charter.
The majority of ships arriving at
Seattle from San Francisco carry nom
union crews and the Shipowners' ASSOC
citation is positive that 1t will win its
fight. Several Of the shipowners are
now in Seattle looking after their In
terests. One Of them said yesterday:
yes we will break the Seamens' union.
The seamen are not as strong as the
Moulders' union, and everybody who
lives on the Sound or along the coast
knows how we demolished them. We
have now decided not to send a ship
to sea unless she has aboard a non
union crew. If we can't ship %non-union
men we will tie up u boats"
The Seamens' union maintain that
they are making favorable progress in
the fight.
The British ship Yeomen, Captain
White, with general merchandise, left
London ten days G for Seattle.
Among the other British ships EN- route
are the Port Douglas, Captain McDon-
aid, and Ewclefechien, Captain Hines.
The Port Douglas left London 1O2 days
lgo and two days later was followed
by the Ewclefechien.
While the crew of the Milton Stuart
were bending sail in San Francisco on
Thursday, the mizzen royal came down
With a run as 1t was being sent aloft.
n its fall 1t swept a seaman off the
opsail yard, but he became entan-
sled In the bunt and had his fall
hecked so often by the cloud Of can
as catching on stays and running
;ear, that he landed on deck entirely
.nhurt.
Tomorrow the ships Drumcllff, T. f.
)akes, Chinsura, Queen Victoria, and
3~allackulish will tow to sea from San
Francisco.
The British ship Elburea, one Of the
lnest afloat, will, 1t is thought, reach
Seattle In about 81 days. She left
Antwerp 90 days ago with a general
cargo.
The Jennie Wand, Captain Olsen, left
Seattle for Southern California yes
terday with a cargo of lumber. Cap
tain Olsen managed to retain his Jap
anese crew, although he says he eX-
pected to have trouble while in Seattle.
The men who assaulted one of the Japs
have thus far escaped the clutches OF
the law, although Captain Olsen stat
ed that on the night the outrage
was committed that he intended to
use every possible means to bring the
Jap's ~assailants before the bar Of JUS
tice. 1t was generally known that Cap
tain Olsen did not favor shipping a
Jap crew from San Francisco. but the
owners Of the schooner insisted on his
so doing.
The British ship Birkdale received
orders to proceed to Portland and left
up yesterday.
The schooner Active was surveyed
and entered at the custom house yes
