A halt has now been caI.ed The naval
Ordnance bureau proposes going ahead

The bark s. C. Alien arrived on Satur-
day evening nineteen days from Homo
lu,u. She sailed up the bay and was
spoken by the Customs launch, the Off
GERS on which informed the captain that
he came rom a disease infected port,
and was subject TO quarantine. The bark
was towed back toward Fort Point
where she was boarded by the quarantine
officer. No sickness was found aboard
her, but she, with her fifteen passen-
gers, was placed in quarantine.
Dr. Chalmers and two members of the
board of health visited the ship Benja-
min Seawei which came In on Friday
from Rio Janelro with case OF scurvy,
and was detained in the quarantine sta
tion, and also the S. C. Alien, to deter
mine what was best to be done with the
vessels.
The British bark Dominion arrived yes
terday, Is days from New South Wales.
Contrary to expectations the vessel found
some furious Cape Horn weather that
had strayed out in the Pacific. They en-
countered "a succession of gales, begin
ming to blow from the southeast, gradu-
ally veering around to the westward. So
fierce were the squalls and so suddenly
would they come up that sail after sail
would be ripped from the yards and
blown away. 1t was necessary TO carry
a iittle canvas even in the hardest part
Of the storm, and, as the lower sails and
topsails are generally used under these
conditions the bark lost all Of those sails
several times. Such fore and aft canvas
as the jib, flyinG jib and mizzen topgal-
liant staysan were blown away. The seas
came over the rail, flooding the decks
until everything around was washed from
its fastenings, The bark finally wore the
gale out and her further passage to port
was uneventful.
dispatch from Crescent received at
the Merchants Exchange here yesterday
stated that the little schooner Maid OF
Oregon had gone ashore near that place
and the vessel and cargo were a total
loss. The crow had escaped to the beach
and were safe. A few days ago 1t was
reported by telegraph that the vesseI
was waterlogged and disabled near the
mouth of Rogue river She is an old
craft, owned in Astoria or Portland, and
of little value.

Slowly but surely al the great naval
powers are following the lead Of the
United States in the matter of armor

Navy Journal Ne learn 1t the naval

armor plate manufacturers in England,
France, Germany and Austria have
Joined the syndicate having control of
patents covering the Harveyizing process
and that contracts now being made by the
countries named contemplate the manu-
11rtrre of armor plates by this process.
From all accounts the European manu-
facurers of armor have settled down to
the conviction that the American armor
Is the best extant, and that pending
further developments on this side of the
water, there Is nothing left to do but
to make armor equally as good as that
now on our ships. SO far as our naval
ordnance officers are advised, none of the
foreign armor firms are conducting any
important experiments. They are watch

Carried Piece of Wood to His Mother
Across the Sea.

Carried Piece of Wood to His Mother
Across the Sea.
New York Tribune.
In September, 1892 the daughter of the
blacksmith in Gamma was wandering on
the shore gathering driftwood for fuel
when, in a small bay, about 100 yards
distant from her fathers house, she
picked up a piece of wood bearing the
inscription cut with a knife: "Lachlan
Campbell, Bilbao, March %, 1892" On
taking 1t to her mother she became much
concerned, as this was the name bf
her own son, who was a boiler maker
in Spain, and, as would be the case with
most people-certainly with the Highland
ers-she could not get over the superstl-
tition that this message from the sea
was the harbinger of evil tidings regard
ing her son. The family of the pro-
prietor did their best to calm her fears,
exhorting her to wait for an eXplana-
tion.
When writing to her son she told him
Of what had happened and was greatly
relieved on receiving a reply assuring
her of his wel-being, but was astonished
to learn that he perfectly remembered
how, when on holiday, he had written,
as described, on a piece of wood and had
idly thrown 1t into the sea from q rock
near Bilbao. We all know the power Of
ocean currents and need not be surprised
at this piece of wood having been car
ried for six months, but the marvellous
the incredible circumstance in this case
is that this piece of wood after its long
wandering, should have been washed on
the shore within one hundred yards OF
where the writer's mother lived, and that
it should be picked up by one of his
own family and taken home. Had any
novelist dared to picure a message de-
livered in this way by means of an
ocean current every reader, and certainly
every critic, would have denounced the
outrageous demand on faith. And yet
the apparently impossible actually oc-

George Leshi, who was arrested by AS
sistant Fish Commissioner Hawkes. for
maintaining a fish trap more than half
way across the channel of the Puyallup
river and who was discharged by JUS
tioe McMurray on the ground that he
was an Indian and had never become
a citizen nor reiinquished his treaty
rights, says he viii now go back and go
to fishing. Attorney G. w. H. Davis,
VINO was prosecuting the case, states that
he does not know exactly what rights
Le5hi may have, but it will cost more
to find out than the fish in the Puyallup
are worth. Tommy Lane, who was the
last chief of the Puyallup tribe of In
dians, to which Leshi belonged says that
in Old times the Indians used to have
four traps across the stream; one near
Old Stamps, place, one at Burnt Char
ley's pace, and another up by Clark's
creek, and the fourth above Puyal,up,
and they caught as many fish in the up
per trap as in the lower, and If Leshi
wants to fish he don't see who will be
harmed by t.-Post-Intelligencer.

municipality must forego that luxury. In

were printed and reached Baker City
the discovery was made that a whole
