This letter came via the steamer Al-Ki
which arrived here from Juneau this
morning.
Mr.. Claiborne believes that only the
whaling vessels originally caught in the
Ice above Point Barrow we're destroyed.
Rev. Sheldon Jackson, who returned
on the Roanoake, reported that the Bel
videre got out end reached Port Clar-
ence, where she coaled August 4th, from
the bark ]. D. Peters. She then re-
turned to Point Barrow. The Belvi-
dere's officers also told Mr.. Jackson that
the Rosario had been crushed in the ice,
and that the Wanderer had extricated
herself and moved on to the vicinity of
Herschel island.
AS the Orca and Jessie H. Freeman
were destroyed last fall, natives having
set fire to and burned the latter, it
would appear that the only vessel re-
naming at the mercy of the ice foes and
jams were the Jeannie, the Newport
and the Fearless. But beside the eight
vessels named there was the Belana, the
Grampus, Beloga, Norwhal and Mary D.
Hume remaining in that part of the
Arctic.
Captain Edwin Goodall, of San Fran
cisco, who came down on the Al-Ki,
said:
Captain Downing told me that the
fleet was destroyed in the ice breakup.
He got his information from Pilot Len
men, of the United States gunboat
Wheeling. Lennen was told of this dis
aster at Kootzehue sound. Downing
heard of no deaths and it is supposed
that none occurred.
Captain Downing further stated that
when the Thrasher left Alaska, August
18th, Captain Smell, master of the ves-
sci, was sick and that there were many
fishermen in Chiginick, waiting for the
return of the bark j. D. Peters, so as to
get out of the country. 1 also learned
that the whalers John and Winthrop
left Alaska early in August with 300 bar
rels of whale oil and 1000 pounds of
bone.''
The Pacific Steam Whaling Company
owned all the whalers of the Arctic feet
save the Belvidere, the property of VIM.
Lewis, of New Bedford, Mass, and the
Rosario and Fearless, belonging to Jas.

SESSION OF
THE LEGISLATURE
Call Will be Embodied in PrOcIama-
ton to be Issued by Governor
Lord Today.

SALEM, Or, Sept. 6.-An extra session
of the Oregon legislature will be called
to convene at the capitol at Salem,
September 26. The call will be en-
bodied in proclamation to be issued
by Governor Lord at a late hour this
afternoon. A statement to this effect
was given out by the governor at this
Office this morning.
This call has for some time been an
ticipated by reason of the large volume
of unfinished business left over from
the session of 1886. Were this business
to be added to the new, sure to spring
up during the forthcoming session, it is
thought the constitutional 40 days would
be insufficient time to deal with it in
a satifactory manner. Hence the gov
ernor's call for extra session.

A Portion of the Place is in
Flames.
1t Was Reported That the British Con-
sui Had Been KilIed-NOw in a
State of Anarchy.

GAMBIA, Brete, Sept. 6.-Candia is in
state of anarchy. A collision between
Mussulmans, who were demonstrating
against European control, and the Brit
ish authorities, who have been INSTALL
ing christians as revenue clerks, culmi-
mated today in bloody fighting between
the Mussulmans and the British troops.
Riots took place in various parts of the
city, and quite number have been
killed.
When the outbreak was fercest, a
warship stationed in the harbor be-
gan firing shells, with the result that a
portion of the city is in flames. The
greatest confusion and uproar prevails,
and it is feared that the ninight will not
pass without further pilIage and des-
truction.
The trouble began with the attempt of
the British military authorities to install
christian officials. They had appointed
council of internal control to collect
the tithe revenues, and a detachment of
soldiers was stationed outside the office,
as precaution.
A crowd of unarmed Mussulmans at
tempted to force an entrance into the
Office. The British soldiers fred and
wounded several. The Mussulmans ran
for their arme, and, returning, attacked
the soldiers. Other Mussulmans spread
rapidly through the christian quarter,
shooting into windows and setting many
houses and shops on fire.
It is reported that.the British consul
has been killed. The Turkish governor
has offered to help the British.

THE ANGLO-GERMAN
AGREEMENT
Relates Generally to Trade Interests
in China and Africa.

LONDON, Sept. 6.-The Pail Mail Ga
zette says it has complete confirmation
of the existence of an Angelo German
agreement, which is mainly commercial,
but, the paper adds, which provides a
basis for the adjustment of all differences
regarding territorial questions in all
parts of the world.
The Pail Mall Gazette publishes
alleged details OF the agreement. but
they were not cabled to the Associated
Press, as the officials of the foreign
Office said they were far beyond the
truth. The foreign officials added that
the agreement is yet incomplete. 1t
relates generally to Ang!o-German in
terests in China, Africa and elsewhere,
but it is not precise in it's stipulations.

Notice to Delinquent Taxpayers.

The delinqent taxes of Wasco county,
as shown on the rolls now in the hands
of the sheriff are $50, 900. an amount al
most equal TO the Indebtedness of the
county. Every citizen will doubtless
admit that this state of affairs should
not exist, and that all taxes should be
collected. On account of hard times
in the past the county court Las shown
leniency to taxpayers, but that leniency
has reached the limit, and the court
cannot wait longer on delinquents to
make settlements. For this reason a
warrant has been attached to each de-
linquent roll commanding the sheriff to
collect all taxes by SEIZURE and sale of
property. With bountiful crop now
in sight, there can no longer be any rea-
sonable excuse for the non-payment of
taxes. The sheriff is bound by oath to
comply with the terms of the warrants
attached to the tax rolls for the collec-
tion thereof, and has no option in the
matter. Delinquent taxpayers can save
the cost of seizure and sale of property
by settling their taxes at once.

Sheriff and Tax Collector for Wasco
County.

Our popular druggist and bicycle

large business In that capacity of Dusi-

oTera house. This place of amusement
affords many rare entertainments dur

and Mr.. Kirby, during his many years
management, spares no pains in con-
tracing for the best companies on the
road. He has already secured the fam
Gus John L. Sullivan company, the late
Lillian Kennedy's troupe, Magician
Powell, and now he has announced as
the next attraction, for March 81, the
greatest of all, Magician Kellar, all of
which have visited Towanda before.
Mr.. Kirby certainly deserves the high
est appreciation of all in his efforts
and when he secures such worthy at
fractions he should be encouraged more
by giving q full house every time.
