The Portland Arrives.

The steamer Portland reached here last night and anchored at the foot of Third street shortly after o'clock. The vessel is from UnalaSka, from which port she started on the 17th inst, making the run down in nine days. Captain Linquist re- ports that the weather was exceedingly fine for the trip and that no winds were encountered. The Portland put into Dutch Harbor for coal and remained there thirty-siX hours. The report that the Bertha had only reached Seattle yester- day was a surprise to Captain Linquist, as she left some time before the Portland, and it had been expected that she would
 beat the latter vessel in several days.
 Those on board the Portland had sent letters down by the Bertha. There is considerable boat building being done at Dutch Harbor at present. When the Portland left three stern-wheeler river steamers were almost finished, and were expected to be launched within a few days. Two of them are wood and are for the North Alaska Commercial Com pany. The third one is iron and was built by Moran of Seattle. There were no pas sengers nor cargo on board the Portland.

BAKER
 PROVES 4
 WONDER Fought an Eight = Round Draw With Farmer O'Brien. The Latter Greatly Out weighed the Former, but Couldn't Land. O'Brien Was Very Game and Took Lots of Punish
 nent.
TRIED OUT IN BERKELEY.
The Contest Was for Purse of S25O A Protested De-
 cisiOn.

A new bantam weight has stepped into the ring and demanded recognition and this he will certainly win, that is if grit, cleverness and a cool head count for anything.
 In the battle last night in the Beacon Athletic Club in West Berkeley, be- tween Farmer Eugene O'Brien, of Con- tra Costa County, member of the club, and Henry Baker, of Salt Lake City, the latter in the eight bloody rounds that were fought with four ounce gloves clearly demonstrated that he is a conner that can go with any man of his pounds and give good account of himself.
 The fight was for eight rounds with a decision, and for a purse of $250, and although Referee Peter Linda called it a draw, it was certainly Bakers fight.
 The Salt Lake boy weighed in at 120 pounds, while O'Brien tipped the scales at 13S but despite this great difference in weight the Fastener chopped up the countenance of the local fighter, and at the end Baker did not have mark to show that he had been in a mill.
 The farmer managed to knock Baker down in the fourth round, bur the latter never lost his head and only laughed at his adversary as he lay upon the floor and took his time to get up.
 O'Brien did the rushing, but Bakers cleverness was too much for him and he only landed once and that in the first round. Baker was all over the ring and kept his opponent guessing with his stiff left-hand punches. In the first lan a1n 1,in n,1tc ri oh and few rounds later he opened nice seam in the farmers right cheek. Had there have been one more round Baker would certainly have put out the local man.
 Competent critics who witnessed the fight declare that Baker can defeat any man of his weight in San Francisco. Baker is under the management of J. A. Lestrang, and is open to offers to all corners in his class.

Racing Ordinance Goes Over.

Supervisor Clintons racing ordinance. which came up at the meeting of a spe- cial committee of the Board of Super visors, was put over until next Wednes- day At this time the owners of race tracks will be on hand and express their views on the subject of restricting racing to forty-eight days year in this city. The matter would have gone on to-day had it not been that a letter was re- ceived from Frank Covey, manager of the Palo Alto stock farm, asking thar some provision be made for trottins horse men, as it is likely that the run ming races would take up the forty-eight days, and the trotting races would be left in the cold. Clinton stated that he was willing to give all fair chance, but he did not see how he could amend his ordinance so as to cover the ground

MAY BE INELIGIBLE.
Auditor Frederick Is Uncertain Re- garding the New Registrar
 of Voters.

William J. Biggy, the new Registrar of Voters appointed by Governor Budd, may have some trouble with Auditor Broder- ick when he comes to file the bond that covers his administration in the Audi tors office.
 MT. Biggy was one of the Phelan ap- pointees for the office of Supervisor at the time when an attempt was made to oust the present board, and filed bond with the Auditor to properly and con- scientiously perform the duties of his matter in hand, and, as far as the law is concerned, the Auditor does not know whether he is Supervisor or not. Should he file his bonds as Registrar previous to the time that tn, Supreme Court decides his right to hold the office of Supervisor, it is a question in the Auditors mind which will constitute legal claim to public office.

HIS JOKE AND HER FINGERS.



She is o new woman, or rather girl, for
she is only 10. Her friends say that she
has a dozen remarkable qualities. She is
not only intellectually brave, but she has
physical courage too.
Tho other day a door shut on the first
two fingers of her left hand. Another girl
might have screamed loud enough to bring
out the fire department and then tainted
away. She did nothing of the kind. She
simply cried, ooh, sugarl' or something
of that sort and then went over to the
window to see what damage had been done.
She was "a good deal annoyed at the acct
dent, for that afternoon "a party of her girl
friends were billed to appear at the house.
She hated to bc even slightly incapacitated
while they were there. They came, and
Notwithstanding her injury a very jolly
time was had all around. They had the
whole house to themselves and did about
as they liked.
On that very evening her best young
man called. The visit was rather unex-
pected. Still She was always glad to see
him undcr any circumstances, although
her friends said, and she agreed with them
to some extent, that he was just a little
too dignificd. The fact was he had thought
of the ministry mt one time, but had not
been able to bring himself to a dccision
At the present time he was so occupied
with her that nc ideas not connected with
her personality mad much progress.
When he came in on this particular
evening, her aunt-she was living with
her aunt-told him of the accident while
he was waiting for his idol to appear.
When she did come, he thought that as an
experiment he would not mention 1t, but
would see how long she would refrain
from speaking Of it. He even determined
to go further than this and have a little
joke on the subject. Consequently after
he had been speaking to her n little while
he said suddenly:
"Why, Grace Ethel, you've been smok-
ing cigarettes! ~
The girl was taken completely by sur.
prise. She faltcrcd and then said;
"Why, how-how did you know"
1t was now the young mans turn to bC
stunned. 1t was rs if he had received q
heavy blow. lie was in no fit condition
for conversation, but in answer to hcl
questions he assumed Il faint smile ant
mechanically went through the line OF
thought upon which he had based his joke

said.

His wit, Eloquence and Sarcasm In the
House of Representatives.

His wit, Eloquence and Sarcasm In the
House of Representatives.
One Of the peculiar characteristics Of
Mr.. Corwin's speeches, suys Ainsworth r.
SpoffOrd in Thc Atlantic, was the very
frequent introduction of Scriptural phrases
and Illustrations. His early reading had in
cludcd the Bible and "Blackstoue's Com
menturics, - and the former must have
made the deeper impression of the two. 1
have heard him when defending a poor
newspaper reporter in Cincinnati charged
before "A United States court with aiding
in the escape of a fugitive slave, after m
vulsing the court with mcrriment at his
picture of "the majesty of the United
States" in hot pursuit of an unhappy ne
gro making toward Canada as fast as his
feet would carry him, turn the fun into
solemn silonce by apt illusions drawn from
the golden rule and the sermon on the
mount.
Corwin's speech in the house in 1910, in
reply to General Crazy of Michigan, who
had attacked the military record of Gen
eral Harrison, is still often referred to as
a fine example of irony and sarcasm. 1t
covered the unhappy Crazy with ridicule,
and even the sedate and serious John
Quincy Adams, then in the house, referred
to the victim Immediately afterward as
''the late Mr.. Crazy" But there were in
nearly every one of Corwin's speeches
some scintillations of wit or humor to en-
liven the ordinarily dun debates, and
whenever he took the floor the members
were eager to listen.
Speaking upon internal improvement of
rivers, he said, Your constitution is a
fish that can live and thrive in a little tide
