Morret, Captain Cantilli, of this city, arrived Monday night at Scwachers dock, direct from Unalaska, after cruise of nine months sealing on the Japanese coast and Behring sea.

matter, stories by the most eminent
fiction writers, the latest telegraphic
matter, carefully prepared editorials

Virginia and Ohio news service.
During the coming year THE REGIS
