The Navarch is a trim-looking YES

The arrangements between the
North American Navigation Com
pany and the Panama Railroad as
to through business to New York
are complete, and the first steamer
with through freight for New York
is the steamer st. Paul, which will
sail on the 9th. Other steamers
are to follow her.
The shipowners are still having
trouble with the Sailors Union at
various ports along the Coast, but
as protection is generally freely
given, the Union has not done mis-
chief. The latest degradation in
San Francisco Bay is the cutting
adrift Of the schooner J. G.. Wall
from her moorings near Tiburon.
She was derelict for several hours.
Her captain insisted on having
non-union men.
The Hawaiian bark Mauna Ala,
now loading cargo for Honolulu at
Folsom street ,, has been thirty
years on the water, and is the old
English tea clipper Pax Wan. She
drifted into the lumber trade ten
years ago between the Sound and
Australia.
LONDON, Feb. PA sensation
has been caused in naval circles by
the non-concurrence of the Lords
of the Admiralty in the acquittal
of Nice-Admiral Fairfax, of the
British Mediterranean Squadron,
and of Commander David P. Dick
son and Captain \. P. Hastings, of
the ironclad battle-ship Howe,
which stranded on November ,, at
the entrance of Ferror Harbor,
Spain. The Lords attribute the
disaster, which proved so costly to
the British treasury, to unskillful
management on the part of the
trio. Their decision is thought a
specially severe rebuke for Fairfax,
who stands high in the Navy.
The United States Consul at
Bristol, England, has cabled TO the
Secretary Of State that the Ameri-
can schooner Emma Louise of Ca
lais, Me-, was abandoned "a north
and Il west January p. The crew
was rescued by the Norwegian bark
Sophie, Donvig master, and landed
at Bristol. They are all in good
health and will be sent home at
once.
