purpose to become candidate for third term or
to accept nomination should it ne rendered him,
must be accepted by the country made in good faith
and honestly expressive of his feelings with refer
to the matter
A day two ago The Post commented General
Grosyenor's endorsement of the third term idea and
stated that the public would naturally conclude that
from such source the utterance might be inspired
1t now appears that Mr.. Mckinley thought likewise
and deemed it time TO declare himself
But although Mr. Mckinley may honestly think as
he speaks at this time It has been known to be the
that circumstances sometimes alter the opinions
OF public The presidents best friends however
could hope for nothing better him than that in this
Instance his convictions may remain unatered and
unalterabe, whatever changes time may bring or
whatever pressure may he brought to bear upon him

Of a Missing Mail
Steamer.
Vessel Dolphin Arrives From
North Destitute Of
News.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Dec. 22.-
The steamer Dolphin which arrived from
the north to-day brought no tidlngs of
the United States mail steamer Discovery,
which sailed from Juneau early in No
vember for Dutch Harbor and was sighted
by the steamer Elk on November IA at
Wood Island. Since that time nothing
has been seen nor heard of her. She
having failed to reach her destination, the
steamer Elihu Thomson was dispatched
by the company owning the Discovery
with mail and freight, and also to look
for the missing steamer, but according
to reports the Thomson returned on De-
cember 10 without having seen anything
of the missing vessel
Shipping men as well as friends and
up all hope for the safety of the steamer
and those on board Shortly after the
Discovery sailed from Juneau in Novem-
Der a storm came up and during the
month a fierce gale swept the coast from
Sitka to the group OF Islands and the
steamer consumed considerable time in
reaching Wood Island.
The Discovery was in command of Cap
tain Frank NJ. White, who lost the steam
ship La Arado two years ago near Nome,
and Captain j. E. Lehman, an experienced
Alaska navigator was pilot. When she
sailed for Dutch HarbOr she had three or
four passengers. Other members of the
crew were: Thomas Pyle, mate; William
Teaka, second mate; Charles Sprague,
purser; Patrick Gard, chic engineer;
c. Conway and T. Amoth, firemen;
Charles Eman, coalpasser; E. H. Gaskell,
B. G. Hines and w. ]. Price, seamen; w.

OVERDUE VESSEL
NARCISSUS SAFE
She Comes Into Port at
Noon With a South
Sea Fleet.
Is Delayed Off the Horn
by Gains and Light
Winds.

1t was arrival day on the front yester-
day and the Australian fleet made
splendid showing. Among those that
came in from Newcastle, Australia, were
the Balmoral, rs days; Invercauld, 20
days; Strathdon, 81 days; Craigern, 81
days; Eva Montgomery 20 days. and the
Imberhorn, 81 days. Not one of the fleet
had anything out Of the ordinary to re-
port.
Among the other arrivals was the Cas-
sard, Isl days from Swansea; the overdue
Narcissus, 191 days from Genoa; the
Mauna Ala, 10 days, and the Mohican 21
days from Honolulu, while the Kennebec
and half dozen others were outside at
sundown
The Narcissus was considered overdue,
and the underwriters were paying the
gamblers a good rate when she showed up
off the heads. The KenQebec was on her
way from Acapulco for Puget Sound, but
probably puts in here for orders as she
has recently been purchased by George
Z. Plummer. Both vessels have only
light winds and calms to report
