NO SETTLEMENT YET.
What the Gamers Are Endcavoring to
ACCOMPLISH.


II is understood that nothing has YET
been accomplished by the Gamers ir
the direction of forming n combination
the failure being due to the absence oi
Two or three of the packers. Tho e
have been questioned about what steps
have been proposed maintain the usual
silence, but it is whispered around tha'
the intention is to form combination
after the plan of the Alaska Associa-
tion All of these who attended the
meeting here have, rumor says, come t.
an understanding, and it is expected
that the absent ones will upon their re-
turn, fall in line. The intention, If the
report is correct, is to can all the fish in
eight Of the canneries, and have the
entire pack handled by a general agen-
cy. In this manner the expenditures for
labor would be materially reduced, and
higher prices for the pack would result.
The basis upon which stock in the Ps-
sociation would be issued has not been
learned.

THE EEMORE ARRIVES.
No Damage to the Steamers Hull-Hov
She Was Got Off.

The steamer Gilmore arrived in last
night about 10 o'clock. Captain Tatton
vas interviewed by an Astorian re-
porter and described the manner in
which the steamer was got off the spit
ut the mouth of the Nehalem river,
where she went aground on December
10Th. The spit, Captain Tatton states,
is nearly quarter Of a mile wide, and
for some 700 feet Of this distance the
Elmore ploughed her way slowly but
steadily through three or four feet of
sand. The cargo was all shifted for
ward, and with the stern well up the
engines were started, and inch by inch
l channel was dug out until deep
water was reached. The only damage
sustained was to the blocks, nearly all
0f which were broken, but the steamers
hull was not injured,
The schooner Mary Gilbert, which was
the cause of the accident, was towed to
sea yesterday morning, and the Harri-
son took out the Lizzie Prien. The
Gilmore brought about a dozen passen-
gers.
