The Bsring sea deet 10 expected to sail to-
morrow. Copies of the Bfitiah law ar
rived today. and the provisions are similar
to those Of the bill signed BY the president
which was published in the Posr- -IxrrLrI-

has sent out information that tho u Uuited
States man-of.war Bennington, now At
Mare Island, has been detached from the
Bering sea feet and ordered to Central
America This order, came today, and
bears out the theory that the government
has changed its policy Of concentrating
all the available vessels In Bering sea this
summer. The Concord and Petrol are
about due at Unalaska from the China
station. 1t is believed, though not from
any official source. that ono or two of
the men-of-war will remain In northern
waters . brief period and then return to
Mare island. to b subsequently sent to
other stations. Commander Clark tele-
graphed to San Francisco today to ascer-
tain when the cutter Richard Rush, which
II now undergoing repairs, will leave
for the sea. An answer IL expected to-
morrow.
The entire number of officers and men
on board the vessels at Port Townsend are
about 800, and il Is estimated that the i'm
dividual disbursements of each person
during his stay in Port Townsend in the
last three weeks has been about SO, which
amounts to $4,000. The vessels have ex-
pended about SIS, 900 for stores.

but trouble. After securing about twenty
skins her crew of Indians became
alarmed over the new regulations ana
deserted in body, leaving the
schooner without men to navigate her
in Dodge's cove, on the west coast OF Van

has been generally unsatisfactory, chiefly
because the weather has been too rough to

Why an EpiseOpalian.

This story is told of minister of
the Episcopal church, travelling South,
met citizen who claimed that he was
also an Episcopalian.
To what parish do you belong?
Don't nuthen' bout any parish, was
the answer.
Well, to what dioces do you belong
l inquired?
There Amt nothing of that sort in
this part of the country.
But who confirmed you?
Nobody, he said.
But, didn't you tell me you were an
Episcopalian, 1 asked in astonish-
ment.
o, yes, said the old man; I'll tell
you how it is. Last spring l went
down to New Orleans visitin', while
was there | went ter church, and it
happened ter be an Episcopalin one,
and among other things | herd EN-
say that they'd left undone de things
they oughter done, and done things
they hadn't oughter done; and l said
to my self: that's just my fix too; and
since then I've always considered my
self an Eplscopalian.
Well, said l, as l shook the mans
hand. if your idea of an Episcopalian
is correct, we are the largest denomi
nation in the world.

DEVASTATION IN MONTANA.
Lima Reservoir Turned Loose on the
Settlers.


Settlers.
LIMA, Mont, May 13.-The Lima
dam let out its body of water to-day,
and is surging on down Red Rock
river at terrific rate, sweeping all
before it. When the high water began
to raise, the dam company was forced
to dig out spillway to prevent the
dam from storing too much water.
This morning the spiilway began
washing out and caved in, making an
opening 100 feet vide.
As soon as the break was discoy
cred, men on horses fastened down
the river to warn the ranchmen, but
most every rancher along the bottoms
has lost his all. Houses, barns, fences,
haystacks and all kinds of stock are
being carried away.
The railroad company sent out a
special train to warn people between
Lima and Dillon, and have sent out a
large force of men to the scene of the
flood. The track is washed out be-
tween here and Dillon many places,
and the damages will figure high. The
water, after leaving the dam, has a
clean sweep through well settled
country for over sixty miles, and
many families will be without shelter
or food. No lives are reported lost.
