Captain Dan Haskell, admiral Of the
Spreelsles navy. was in town yesterday,
with his splendid tug. the Fearless.
He came in yesterday moro'ng with
the four-masted ship Republic in tow.
and brought her to anchor pff Flavel's
dock. The Fearless left San Francisco
Sunday last at $3.50 a. m, and coming
up met with continual head winds,
though otherwise the trip was pleasant
in every way. Speaking Of thu wreck
Of the Crown of England off the Island
of Santa Rosa about two weeks ago,
Captain Haskal said that rhe vessel
had struck on a couple OF sunken
rocks. and when he reached there with
Mr.. IIetcalf, Llovd's neen-, they found
the vessel with her bottom filed with
holee IT was total loss. When the
Fear rs reached the scene Of the

Victoris's new marine railway, says
the Colonist. has been completed this
enterprise of Mr.. William Turpel, who
is so well known in shipping circles,
for his skill and energy, having been
rewarded by success. The first vessel
has now been hauled out, and demon
strated the advantage over the old sys-
TEN of creased ways. At three minutes
before noon yesterday the schooner
Sadie Turpel was lying in the cradle
waiting for the hauling machinery to
be put in motion, which on the word
being given was promptly started, and
by nine minutes past II o'clock she was
high and dry among the many specta-
tors and friends who had gathered,
having been drawn a distance Of 250
feet in twelve minutes, this being ac-
complished with steam pressure of
only 40 pounds while the pressure
available is 10 pounds. The engines
could not possibly have worked better,
and the heavy gear wheels turned with
ease the two wire rope drums which
drew the cradle with her heavy bur-
den without apparent effort The whole
of the engines, machinery, etc., were
built by the Victoria Iron Works.
Messrs. Hinton and Penney, Of this
city, and form highly creditable piece
of work, showing that the firm is capa.
BILE of turning out excellent work. The
hauling machinery consists of a wire
rope coiled on two drums and driven
by means of three interminaible trains
of gear wheels from a pair of 10x12 in.
engines, capable of developing So
horsepower. Mr.. Turpel states that
his railway differs chiefly from that at
Esquimalt in that it is considerably
smaller and has an additional cradle.
which can be operated separately If
desired. The machinery of the Turpel
railway is capable OF taking out yes,
sells of all kinds up to 1000 tons regis
ter, and drawing 1S feet aft at cons
mon stage of the tide, there being %
1-2 feet of water at the end of the

st. Paul, Dec. 30.-The state go O
wardens are having a hard time to ais
cover whether in the eases Of illegal
carrying by express companies, the con-
signors should be arrested, the agents
receiving the consignment, or the officers
of the companies employing such agents.
Yesterday David b. Newcomb, agent of
the Northern Pacific Express company
and Thomas O'Connell, agent of the
Burlington Il Northern express, were on
trial before Judge Twohy for a violation
OF the state game law. The charge
made by the game commission is that the
parties had in their possession for chip
ment, venison killed after the close Of
the legal season. The testimony taken
in the case, established the fact that it
had been found In the Offices of the ex-
press company in barrels, and that it
had been confiscated by the state. Judge
Twohy heard the evidence, and then with
profound judicial wisdom, discharged
both the prisoners, holding that they
merely acted as agents and were there
fore not liable. The commission viii
now prosecute the consignors.
