Young Shrek called at the Morgue last

asked the Coroner's deputies if the body OF
a young woman about 20 years of age had
been brought there. When informed in
the negative, his manner frightened and

Captain Freeman of the pilot boat Bo-

night. He had to board the Pacific Mail
Company's Colon outside the heads, and
the passengers were all unanimous in say
Ing at they would not take the gray
headed old mans" job for $4,000 year.
Freeman got aboard, however in spite of
the gale, and at once put the Coion's head
out to sea. He was not taking any chances
with breaking bar. The steamer reached
port on the mornings tide and cooked
early in the day.
The steamers Pomona and Humboldt
were both late in getting in, and their
captains report extremely rough weather.
The Homer crossed the Coos Bay bar in
the teeth OF the gale, and has not since
been heard from. The Czaripa remained
at her anchorage and may get in to-mor-
row. The Homer would probably stand
out to sea, and it will be Wednesday at
least before she is heard from.
The Pacific Coast Company's Queen is
also overdue. She was late leaving Puget
Sound, but should have been here yester-
day morn ng. The gale has been right In
her course, however, and must have de-
tanned her.

down the bay and was only pulled up by

Two OF the gates were blown away from

The war reports from Cuba have a
great deal to say about the trocha. 1t
is new term in military science, ana
there is more or less confusion in the
public mind as to what it means. In
general way, it signifies a strategic
line across a given scope of territory,
separating one army from another.
The line in the present instance eX-
tends from Havana to the southern
coast of the island, and its original
purpose was to divide the insurgent
forces, part of which were in the
western portion of the island under
Maceo and the rest in the eastern por-
ton under Gomez and Garcia. 1t
consists principally of barbed-wire
fence 3 feet inches high, with senti-
mel detachments Immediately behind
it. About 40 yards back of it is a
trench feet wide and 4 deep. with a
breastwork of palmetto logs; and SO
yards further back are log houses in
which the trooDs~dre quartered. The
number of soldiers required to guard
the whole line is about 10000 Its
construction cost much labor on the
part of the Spanish troops in the heat
of torrid sun and under other trying
conditions, and hundreds of them died
before it was finished. 1t was Gen.
Weyler's idea of comprehensive and
effective strategy, and he is said to be
very proud of it.-St. Louis Globe

The World Almanac gives the total
official vote for all the states in the
late national election, in which it
appears that the majority of McKin-
ley over both Bryan tickets was 603,-
5I4. This, however, does not state
the full majority of sound money over
free silver and fiat. The gold Demo-
cratic ticket received 1881, which
added to the Mckinley vote, gives a
total sound money majority of 1885,,
3S5. The total vote polled lacked a
small fraction of 100000. McKin-
ley's electoral majority was %, and a
change of less than 400 votes in South
Dakota and Wyoming would have
made McKinley's electoral majority
100, and would have given him, out

mining states, every state in the
Union except Kansas. Nebraska and
