The stea tug Samson arrived In yes
terday morning from San Francisco
with the four-masted schooner Plum
mer on her hawsers, Portland bound
for lumber. Captain Jones reports
fair trip up. having left there on Sat
urday last. In speaking Of his COLI
sion in the harbor of San Francisco
with the British ship Clangalbreath
Captain Jones said that he had filed
his report with the customs authori-
ties there, and was awaiting their
Judgment on the episode. He reached
the Golden Gate at midnight and the
glass falling rapidly and having the
unlucky Louis in tow. he deemed it
best to lose no time in entering. so did
not wait for daylight, but entered. 1t
seems that the frequent gales had been
the case for the anchoring OF quite a
fleet of inward and outward bound
vessels of Black Point, just inside the
harbor, and he noted their lights care
fully in making his progress up the
bay on a full food tide, so as to avoid
all chance of encountering any of
them Before he knew 1t, he was al
most aboard the Clangalbreath, and
had barely time left to swing the
Samson clear Of her, and not enough
to clear the Louis. The Louis caught
the head gear of the British vessel
and ripped things wide on board both
vessels The Clangalbreath was with
out anchor lights and this was amply
proven by the officers of that ship
lowering their riding lights and clean
ing the globes which were encrusted
with SCOT and smoke until the lights
were absolutely useless. This trick was
turned after the collision, and was
carefully noted from the decks of the
Samson. Captain Jones relies upon
this bald trick for complete exonera-
tion from responsibility for the disas-
ter. The Samson will leave out to-
night or tomorrow morning for Co.
guile river, where he will take in tow
off that bar, the barke Chinook, lum-
Der laden for the Bay City.

MURDERERS ARREST
ED IN PORTLAND
BELIEVED THAT THE THREE MEN
THAT HELD UP JOHN .. MILLER
AT ALoRlcH POINT HAVE BEEN
ARREsEo IN PORTLAND.

II was reported to the police We'd
nesday that two men, answering the
| description Of the men who held up
John ID. Miller and robbed him in his
scow at Aldrich Point, were seen to
cross the John Day bridge immediate
ly after the evening express had passed
over on Tuesday night. and It was be-
lieved they were In the city. Diligent
search on the part OF Chief Gammal
and officers OF the force. failed to
verify the rumor. Edward Hallock,
formerly chief Of police OF the city.
got onto clue as to the identity Of
| the men and communicated the same
to Sheriff Pomeroy, Mr.. Pomeroy has
been engaged ever since the hold-up
occurred, In ferreting out the guilty
parties and likewise had several good
| clues. The identity Of the parties was
known to him and that there were
three men in the party, instead OF two.
The two who entered Miller's scow
were the only ones Miller saw, the
third one remaining on the outside
in the skiff, to give the alarm. in the
event Of anyone approaching.
1t Is known that the murderers, i'm
mediately after the robbery, started
| up the railroad track for Portland.
They arrived at Goble in the evening
| and that night went through the Hun
ter hotel, stealing few small articles.
One Of the robbers was seen on the
platform as the Northern Pacific train
was crossing over to Kalama, and he
stole a mail sack. He was seen by
Mr.. Hunter, who Immediately arrest
ed him, put a pair Of handouts on
him and confined him In a room until
morning. He Immediately wired the
| authorities in Portland, who imme-
diately arrived down and took the
prisoner back to Portland. The Port
land detectives had been apprised Of
the robbery by Sheriff Pomeroy and
with the meagre clue, they arrested
two men, who answered the description
given by Miller.
These facts became known to Mr..
Hallock and he gave his information
to Sheriff Pomeroy, which verified the
clues already In the sheriffs possession.
The three men were arrested on
charge of robbing the Hunter hotel
at Goble. Sheriff Pomeroy as soon as
he was convinced that the three men
were the same who murdered John D.
Miller, Immediately wired to Sheriff
Stevens to hold the men, until he
could go up and bring them back to
Astoria. Although the evidence at
present is mostly circumstantial, yet
Sheriff Pomeroy believes he is in pos
session of sufficient evidence to posi-
lively identify all three of the men,
and will bring them to Astoria, where
charge Of murder will be booked
against them.
The crime was one of the most das-
tardly ever committed in Clatsop coun-
ty, and the death Of John D. Miller
makes 1t more revolving. If the evil
dence is sufficient to convict the three
men, they should be hung without the
benefit of clergy

Birth of a National Hymn

II III IIGIltn NdIlOldl IFIIlIlt La W Ut
L SeillaiSe," was composed by a young
French officer named Rouget de Isle. De
Isle was stationed at Strasburg in 1892 dur
ing famine which accompanied the revo-
luton, and when food was scarce he used to
try to forget the craving of his stomach by
writing verses and indulging in a passionate
love for music. He was a frequent visitor at
the home of Baron de Diedrich, Mayor of Stras-
burg. The Baron liked him, and the female
portion of the Barons family enjoyed his boy
ish impulsiveness and often sang the songs he
had written, while he accompanied them on his
musical instruments.
One evening when the gaunt clutch of the
famine held the city of Strasburg even more
tightly than usual, the Baron de Diedrich pro-
posed that he and de Isle should drink to the
liberty of the country in the last bottle of wine
remaining in the household. Ever ready for
the taste of the beverage, de Lisle consented,
and the bottle was brought. 1t was an IN
usually large one, and when the young officer
had finished and it was time for him to return
to his lodgings his head and heart were warm.
Entering his solitary chamber, he paused
GREATNESS, while a feeling that some great
event was about to tranSpire swept over him.
A moment he sought for inspiration IN the
palptation of a citizens heart. and then he
turned like an artist to his instrument. His
fingers ran over some chords, and then as in a
dream he launched into The Marseillaise, the
soul-stIrring passionate song which cost
France a hundred thousand lives and made
the streets OF Paris run blood.
In the morning when the young officer
awoke he wrote down the words and the music
and ran at once to the house of the Mayor
De Diedrich was not awake but a servant
called him, and he in turn called his wife. A
few friends assembled, and the young officer
sang At the first verse the company grew
pale, at the second tears fell, and at the end
the assemblage broke into wild enthusiasm
Why not? The hymn of the nation had at last
been found But it was a hymn of horror
and the unfortunate de Diedrich marched
bravely to the scaffold few months later to
the strains of the song which had been born
in the heart of his friend and which his wife
had been the first to play.
"The Marseillaise" was SO named because soon
after it became known it was sung at the ad-
journment of the clubs in Marseiles.

LEGATION of the song.
In 1888 John Howard Payne wrote the

To u.s. in despite of the absence of years,
How sweet the remembrance of home still

The unsatisfied heart turns and says with a

In the reign of George l. of England, Henry
