captains who need the services of tow
boat to employ one of the tugs of the
Puget Sound Tugboat association, and
In return for this favor the tow
boat captains take all ships into Port
Townsend upon one pretext or another,
that the local merchants may sell
them all the goods they need. Ship
masters who stop at Port Townsend to
discharge their ballast, when arriving
from sea, are at once besieged by all
the business men of the town to pur-
chase supplies Of various kinds, 1t be-
ing represented that such articles can
not be secured here, and thousands of
dollars worth of trade which should
come here is thus diverted. Some
action should at once be taken to pro-
vide suitable ballast grounds in the
bay where vessels could safely lie while
discharging, and the fact published to
the world, and all towboat captains
informed that they may place the
ships in the proper locality before
leaving them. This matter should at
once receive the attention of the coun-
ellis Of both the Bay cities, and harbor
master appointed to have charge of
the placing of the vessels and to see that
the rules established by the councils
are not violated. The longer this is
delayed the more general will the
belief become that Bellingham Bay
is an inconvenient place to charter
to, and Port Townsend will attain a
power which it will be hard to over
throw.

The PostIntelligencer says that the
HERALD Is livery stupid nowadays
because 1t dared to utter a protest
against the dispatch from Washington
City urging caucus and endeavoring
to coerce members of the legislature in
voting for Allen. The HERALD merely
said that for any members of the United
States senate to forward such mes
sage at this particular time was an I'M
warranted interference, and despite
the objections of the Post Intelligencer
repeats that protest. But the remark

Quay and Teller, who endeavored to

Deves, ex-minister Of agriculture, and
Thevenet, ex-minister of justice. The
awful depths of corruption into which
French public life has fallen can be

Here's Richness.

II was Brillat Savarin who said that
the Americans had o hundred religions
and only one gravy. But 1t seems that we
are to have even one more religion than
we have already. Alexander Russell
Webb, formerly United States consul at
Manila, has been converted to Moham-
mechanism during his residence among
the followers of the prophet. Full Of the
zeal of new convert, he has undertaken
nothing less than the upsetting Of our
whole batch Of hundred religions and
turning us from the error of our ways to
Accommodation. He is appealing to
the sons Of Islam to help him, and has al
ready collected over Sos, 900 to aid him in
spreading the true faith in the United
States.

Is Webb's rallying cry, and the heather
are we Of the United States. For the re-
mainder of his life Son-of-the-true-faith

Q tough job on his hands. Mohammed
preached that the deepest hell was for

vincing certain Americans of the truth of

ocrats, it would have been better had
the "old members" resigned their lead
ership before the battle began. The
stupidity of the argument may possibly
attach some little to the P.-I. In the
controversy. Perhaps the historic
editor was busy chasing up an
other thesis on the late war Of the re-
bellion and hasn't yet reached the

Guiding sentence of the above quotation
might not have been used. The fact is
that the Post-Intelligencer realizes the
truth of the Telegraph's declaration
that the Handwriting on the Wall
prophesies its overthrow. 1t no longer
holds the power of other days, and dies
hard. What is needed on its part is to
choose some policy, or champion some
one man whom it can stand by under
all emergencies, and regain some little
reputation for stability. 1t is not at all
improbable that before the present sem
atorial contest is over Allen will find
the Pr. zealously supporting some
other candidate. Certainly so, If the

The question Of suitable place In
the harbor for the discharge of ballast
is one that Is now taking a more i'm
portant place in the development of
the resources Of this portion of the
Sound than those not acquainted wit h
shipping affairs can understand. The
recent action of the New Whatcom
city council, in the case of the ship
Highlander, is well-known in San
Francisco, and has been magnified to
such an extent that Bellingham Bay
has already acquired an unsavory
reputation among shipmasters. The
great rival we have In affairs relating
to the coming and going of ships, Port
Townsend, has been prompt to take
advantage Of the mistake, and unless
1t is at once rectified is capable of doing
great damage. The ship Formosa,
which recently cleared at San Fran
cisco for the Bay, was picked up by q
Port Townsend tug and taken into
that port to discharge her ballast, 1t
being represented to the captain that
the dischareing Of ballast was forbid
den In this port and 1t must be left at
Port Townsend before coming here. It
Is well known that the Port Townsend
shipping merchants are using every
means in their power to divert trade to
that town. A clause inserted by the
ship brokers in the charter party most

A Snake That Climb, Glass Walls.

In the natural history museum at
Paris there is a snake that climbs up
the polished glass walls of its cage.
This process is described as follows
and is vouched for by Leon Valiant,
professor d'erpetologie': The snake,
which is thirty centimeters long. first
raises its head some way against the
glass, and proceeds to disgo~ge from
its salivary and lachrymal glands an
adhesive viscous fluid, by the aid of
which it succeeds in drawing its
whole body up the cage. \ curious
fact is that the end of the tail is kept
tightly curled, so as to afford q
broader and more substantial base of
operations. This phenomenon seems
to dispose Of the question whether
water snakes are able, as reported,
to climb up walls and penetrate the
ceilings of houses

A VANISHED PEOPLE.
How Did They Transport Mammoth
Rocks to Build a Mysterious Cavern?

How Did They Transport Mammoth
Rocks to Build Mysterious Cavern?
On the shores of Brittany there is
mysterious relic of forgotten ages
which escapes the notice of most
travellers, says the Million.
Far out in the Morbihan sea-
across which legend tells us Arthur
sailed with his knights in pursuit of
the dragon-rises a little island. 1t
can be reached in boat from the
coast only in calm sea. A Breton
shepherd has solitary hut upon it
and feeds few sheep.
Crossing the grassy slope off which
they browse the traveller finds him
self at the foot of a hill, In the face
of which has been eXcavated a great
tunnel or cave. floored, walled. and
rooted by huge fat rocks.
Some archeologists say that this
cavern was the work OF the worship
ers of the serpent god or Hoa-a race
that has passed into oblivion.
The unlearned traveller knows only
that the mysterious cavern antedates
all history; that the rocks of which
IL Is built came from the main
land No rocks like them make any
part of the geological formation of
the island.
Even with our modern engineering
knowledge and machinery it would
require vast labor and skill to bring
these enormous blocks of stone aud
place them so securely as to defy
the wear and friction of ages
How were they brought here by
men who, perhaps, had few mechani-
cal appliances - nothing but the
strength OF their bodies and their
faith in strange god?
The race who built the temple are
dust. Even their names ages ago
persisted from the earth. These
stones are the monuments of their
idomitable resolution. That defes
the flight of years.

a California Indian Tale Unearthed With
the skeleton of a Woman.
A few days ago some men opening
the quarry of Contractors Flynn and
Sullivan at the San Clemento station,
near the Reed ranch, dug out an In
dian mound, says the San Francisco
Chronicle. About five feet beneath
the surface they disinterred skele-
ton in good preservation. which was
pronounced by DR.. Windele, one of
the party, to be the remains of an
Indian woman. An almost forgotten
bit of ancient history is revived by
this incident.
Early in the sos TiburOn and its
neigh borhood was the abiding place
of tribe of California Indians who
were known as the Shark Indians.
because of their habit of ornament,
ing themselves with the teeth of the
sharks caught off Tiburon, itself
translated meaning shark Raccoon
straits was then infested by those
ferocious monsters, and on the pres
ent site of FL Campo was another In
dian tribe, the Coon Indians, whose
head-piece was the skin of the coons
The numerous Indian mounds found
in these localities Indicate that their
populations were unusually large.
Between the Sharks and the Coons
a bitter feud existed, which led to
frequent battles. in which the Sharks
were almost always victorious
hlrkshaw' island, or as it is now
known, Belvedere, was the favorite
battle-ground. On the northern end
of the island one may pick up a dozen
flint arrowheads in an afternoon, and
at the beginning OF the rising ground
from the mesa that stretches to the
bay Is an immense mound, perhaps
the largest in California. An aged
halfbreed now employed on the Reed
ranch is authority for the legend
that, through the nstrumentality of
a clever squaw of the Sharks. the
warning tribes were finally reconciled
and became fast friends. She was,
according to the Indian idea of love-
illness, by far the most beautiful wo-
man in Northern California, and she
permitted herself to be captured by
, W
ing in her canoe in the straits. He
led her in triumph to his wickiup,
but the beauty was obdurate and de-
clared that unless he made oyertures
OF peace and alliance to her people,
the Sharks, she would never be his
bride.
The love-smitten chief obeyed. and
4 union was the result, which so
strengthened these tribes that when
the Sonoma Indians came down to
Tiburon for a little fighting and sea
bathing they were promptly whipped
back to their valley by the Coon
Shark com bination. When the wise
woman died, full OF years and honors,
she was buried at San Clemento and
this mound erected to her memory.

The Rock Island is foremost in
adopting any advantage calculated
to improve speed and give that lux
ury, safety and comfort that popular
patronage demands. Its equipment
IS thoroughly complete with vesti-
buled trains. magnificent dining

the most elegant. and of recently i'm
proved patterns.
Faithful and capable management
and polite. honest service from en-

q task difficult of accomplishment.
Passengers on this line will find little
cause for complaint on that ground.
