Inherent; neither did he think IL like
ly that 1t would come to the ears OF
the admiral. as the crew OF the bort
were partial both to the commodore
and to him. He had desired a seaman
whom he could trust. to put into one
or the boats a couple OF muskets. and
a quantity OF ammunition. several
blankets, and various other articles.
besides provisions for two or three
months. for one person: and as soon
as It was dark the men pulled on shore
with the boat. found the commodore
on the beach waiting for them, and
supplied him with all these neces-
saries. They then rejoined their ship.
without the admiral's having the least
suspicion OF what had been done, and
shortly after the fleet made sail on a
wind. with their heads of shore. The
next morning the three smaller ves-
sells parted company. and by sunset
had gained many miles to windward,
after which they were not again seen.
The admiral had sent for Philip to
give him his instructions, which were
very severe. and evidently framed so
as to be able to afford him hereafter
some excuse for depriving him of his
command. Among others, his orders
were. as the bort drew less water than
the admiral's ship. to sail ahead of
him during the night, that IL they APP
preached too near the land as they beat
across the channel. timely notice might
be given to the admiral IL in too shall
low water. This responsibility was
the occasion of Philips being always
on deck when they approached the
land on either side OF the Straits. II
was the second night after the fleet
had separated that Philip had beer
summoned on deck as they were near
Ing the lane Of Terre del Fuego: he
was watching the man in the chains
heaving the lead. when the officer of
the watch reported to him that the
admiraFs ship was ahead of them in
stead Of astern. Philip made inquiry
as to when he passed, but could not
discover: he went forward and saw
the admiral's ship with her poop-light,
which. when the admiral was astern,
was not visible. What can be the ad-
miral's reason for this?" thought
Philip; "has he run ahead on purpose
to make a charge against me of neg
lect Of duty? 1t must be so. Well, let
him do as he pleases: he must wait

not allow him to desert me: and with

as he imagined, very near to the land.

not distinguish it. For half an hour
they continued their course. much to

he could make out the loom of the

course, and Philip followed with his
own vessel.

observed Wander Hagen. the lieutenant,
who was the officer of the watch.

the vessel was %immovably fixed. His

The gun was fired, and Immediately
followed up by the flash and report
OF another u close astern OF them.
Philip looked with establishment over
the quarter, and perceived the adj

evidently on shore as we'll as his own.
"Merciful Heaven!" exclaimed Phllip
rushing forward, what ctSl this be?"
He beheld the other vessel, with her
light ahead, still sailing on and leay-
ing them. The day was now dawning
and there was sufficient light to make
out the land. The Do.t was on shore
not fifty yards from the beach. and
surrounded by the high and barren
rocks; yet the vessel ahead was an
parently sailing on owe the land. The
seamen crowded on the f~orecastle,
watching this strange phenomenon;

NEWS OF NORTHWEST
A Budget of General News Gathered In
Several Pacific Coast
states.


At Pendleton, Or, there is on foot
plan for the formation of what will I've
called the Pacific Northwest Producers
Association, which will before long
make itself a strong factor in the in
dustrial life of this section. Thus
far, the membership secured consists
only OF farmers and grain producers.
but it is hoped that the wool men and
sheep-breeders will come in. The
members sign the following agreement:
eve, the undersigned producers of
the county of - and state of -,
do hereby agree to unite ourselves in
non-political body for the purpose of
providing for ourselves protection
against the trusts that have been
formed. and which dictate to the pro-
ducers the prices of the commodities
which we produce; and to further pro-
vide ourselves with a place to meet
and transact business and receive the
telegraphic market reports of the
world; and to place ourselves in direct
communication with the consumers of
the world; and to unite ourselves in
one grand body and to promote har-
mony and work for the general welfare
of the community at large, and for the
producer"
The association will in no manner
touch the mercantile portion of the
business of the community, but will
exist solely for the purpose Of ena-
bling the producers of wheat, wool and
livestock to keep more closely in touch
with the markets of the world, and to
the more intelligently handle them. 1t
will be the particular tenet of the ASSOC
citation that there shall be no politics
in the conduct of the affairs. 1t is

DOOMED TO DESTRUCTION.
Hair the Yukon Fleet Fast in the Ice
and Unable to Escape.

San Francisco, May s. -Advices from
the Northwest confirm previous reports
that nearly half OF the Yukon fleet is
fast in the ice, and will probably be
destroyed when the spring freshet
comes. Among the vessels in danger
is the Sherman. of the Alaska Explcra.
ton Company. She is near Nulato,
and is on sand bar in the middle of
the river, broadside on the current.
-Four miles from the mission is the
Dawson City. owned by a San Fran
cisco firm. She is fast in the ice,
with no chance to escape. The Gov
ernor Steneman, owned by Portland
capitalists, is about 25 miles above the
mouth of the Tanana river. and she
will probably break up when the fresh
cts come. The May d is also doomed.
She is near Rampant City, fast in
the ice in the middle of the river. The
Trenton is close to the May d, and che
cannot escape destruction. The
Clutco, owned in San Francisco; the
Seattle No. /, of the Seattle. Yukon
Compan and the City of Chicago.
owned by Chicago capitalists, are in a
bunch a short distance above Rampa'
City. They will probably be crushe.
to pieces with the first cake of ice that
comes down the river. The Robert
Kerr, the Seattle, the Sovereign, the
Tacoma. the Arnold and the John G.
Barr are near Circle City, and there is
little hope that any of them will escape
destruction. All Of these boats were
engaged in general freighting and
passenger business on the Yukon be-
tween st. Michaels and Dawson City.
