VICTORIA. Dec. 3o.-fSpecial. Almost
four months ago the sealing schooner
Mary Brown, Capt. William Brown mas
ter, sailed from Sand point with Victoria
as her destination. Since that time the
most diligent inquiry has failed to produce
anything at all tending to throw light on
the fate OF the schooner. Certain Ii is that
the vessel and her crew. consisting OF
the captain and five or six men,. not only
failed to arrive at her destination. but have
not been heard of from that day to this.
One OF the sad features of this tragedy of
the sea, Is the fact that the arrival Of Capt.
Brown in San Francisco was eagerly
awaited by his littkc daughter. Some years
ago the captain married belle of one of the
northern tribes, aud made his home at
Misoga Bay. Their daughter after passing
at the government schools Was sent down
to San Francisco to finish her education.
She has for some months been awaiting
the srrivalef her father in order to return
home. The chances are that she has
waited In vain. and will return by other
means.

ground that ths present council had not

As the law provides that q municipal
council is the judge of the quail

members and officers. therefore the pro-
ceedings should come before the new
council. and for the further reason, sup
ported by affidavits, that the ballots cast
at the last election had been wrongfully
opened and their secrecy violated. The
city council sustained the motion, and the
contest proceedings were dismissed. This
settles the matter. and McGili will take

In comparing the Fraser river salmon
packs of 1892 and 1898. it should DO borne
in mind that 1892 was what was known as
an or year. and the pack in consequence
was exceedingly light and away below the
average Of ordinary years, though consid-
erabiy larger than the previous 'ofr' year,
namely 1883 Every fourth year on Fraser
river the run of salmon is very small,
owing to some cause which has not yet
been fully explained. 1t has been re-
marked, however, that since the estab-
lishment Of the hatchery the run in ''off''
years has been steadily improving. This
may be due to the work of the hatchery,
and again 1t may not Both fishermen
and Gamers are divided on the question.
The total value Of the Fraser river salmon
fisheries for the year 1892 will aggregate
something over 81. 500. 900. which consider
ably exceeds all former records.
