A dispatch from London to the Mer-
chants Exchange received yesterday re-
ports that the British bark Raven scourt,
on her way from San Francisco to Queens
town. was spoken on August with the
crew OF the missing ship Dumbartonshire
on board. The Dumbartonshire was abau-
dOned at sea while on her way to Iquique
from the United Kingdom. Her crew are
supposed to have put off in boats and were
then picked up by the Raven scourt
The Dumbartonshire sailed from Iqui-
que on April II last. Only a short time
ago reinsurance at 65 per cent was rad
upon her, and she was practically given
up as lost. She was a bark-rigged vessel
of 942 tons register built In 1885.
The only reason that any especial notice
Is made of the vessels loss is that she is
well known at this port, having been here
during 1893.
The United States steamer Yorktown,
the second of the Berng Sea patrol. ar
rived Yesterday morning. nine days out
from Ounalaska, and proceeded to Mare

so she declares.
Mrs. Peace cke's manner of issuing orders
did not suit Mary, so she declared war.
with the result that she is out of a lob.
She says that she is going home on the
next steamer, that she wasn't treated right
and that she will never travel again wi h
an English officers wife. Mary sports
tattoos on her body and rings in her ears
and nose.
Two sailors of the gun boat Concord
were among the Rio Janeiro's steerage
passengers. They said that it was impos-
si0le Tor people In dong-kong to get re-
liable news concerning the war. None of
the Chinese papers are to be relied upon,
as the Government sees that they do not
get any news worth the printing.
The great benefit to American labor til at
is being done though the Ship-owners'
Association man Walthew is beginning to
be made manifest through the efforts on
the part OF some owners to cut coast
wages down to $50 Before the Ship
owners Association and its benefit" book
were ever thought of, Sailors always got
$50. That concern dropped wages down
to S25 and now comes the ship b F.
Cheney with runners out looking up $40
men. Cheap wages and poor service has
been the motto of Secretary Walthew ever
since he quit running voting machines in
Michigan.
The barkentine Tropic Bird. thirty-nine
days from Tahiti, arrived in the Afternoon.
She brought fourteen passengers, mostly
French people, from the islands.
