STEAMSHIP OVERDUE.
Eighty-Five Days Since the Pelican
Started Across the Pacific.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 7.-There is much
speculation among local shipping men as to
the fate of the steamship Pelican, now out
eighty-fve days from Port Townsend for
Taku, Japan. Nothing has been heard of
her since she passed through the straits
outward bound. Shipping men generally are
of opinion that the vessel has broken her
propeller shaft and that she is sure to be
picked up by another steamer and towed
into some port. She carried q crew of
forty-five officers and men, and when she
sailed from Port Townsend was provisoned
for a forty-day voyage. Even assuming
that the crew was put upon one-third
rations from the day of the mishap still the
available supply of provisions would have
been exhausted by New Years day.

increase in the price of gas. The price is
raised on No. and No mixers for do
