The steamer Dirigo. of the Alaska Steamship Company, which has been due in port for two days Is on her way to Sitka and should arrive here this after noon This was the information brought up from Juneau yesterday afternoon by Capt. Tibbits of the Flosle.
 Capt. Tibbits said that he heard from the office at Juneau that the Pacific Coast Company. in view of the fact that three of their steamers. the Cottage City, City of Topeka and Senator. were on the dry docks getting repaired. the company had no steamer to dispatch which could make the run to Sitka. As the Dirigo was billed to sail on the 18th Manager Peabody. of the Alaska Steam ship Company. was approached and for an unknown consideration consented to let the Dirigo carry the P. c.'s freigh; and mall to Sitka.
 Why the Chas,. Nelson was not given the run was because when the Dirigo was ready to sai; the Nelson was two days overdue.
 The Dirigo arrived nt Juneau early last Sunday morning and after discharging n large amount of poultry and perishablos X sailed early in the afternoon for s!tke. She should reach port either this fore noon or late this afternoon.
