City of Sydney Sails for Lower Coast
With Cartridges for Salvador
Japanese Liner Tenyo Maru Will Not Arrive
Until Next Monday at Noon

The Pacific Mail liner City Of Sydney,
Captain Fisher, which sailed yesterday
for Panama and way ports, carried
l,l67 cases of cartridges consigned to
the government Of Salvador. This is
q large but not an unusual shipment
to a Central American republic, but is
Of interest in view of the rumors of
pending trouble between Salvador and
Nicaragua.
According to those best informed the
likelihood OF serious trouble is not
very great, as the state department at
Washington has taken infinite pains
not only to promote peace but to patch
il up al short notice in case of a frac-
ture. The work OF the state depart
ment in Salvador is said to have been
undone to some extent by the MOisants
and other American adventures, who
have laid aside the work of developing
the resources Of the country and de-
voted themselves to the risky occupa-
tion OF tanning revolution. The better
class of Americans in Salvador are
not in sympathy with the Moisant fac
ton.
The Sydney carried IS cabin passen-
gers and 20 in the steerage.
Steamer Ella sails Today
Owing TO delay in docking Tuesday
evening as the result of grounding on
a clay bank off the China basin wharf,
the steamer Ella of the Jebsen steam
ship company did not get away yester-
responsibility for the temporary
stranding of the Ella is placed by the
agents of the company on Chief Wharf
niger Hender, who is said to have been
notified of the presence in the fairway
Of a number of scoWs and barges, and
who promised to have them moved.
The barges were not moved and in try
ing to avoid a collision Pilot Jordan,
who was in charge OF the Ella, was
obliged to shape a course which al
lowed the ebb tide to carry the steamer
across the clay bank. The Ella is said
to have suffered no damage on the
clay bank, where it remained until 2
o'clock yesterday morning.
Chief Wharf1nger Hender says that
he was duly notified of the presence of
the barges in the fairway and that he
at once communicated with the own
ers, receiving in each case a promise
that the barge would be removed at
once. In some cases the promise was
kept. but enough barges remained TO
cause trouble for the Ella.
In the future vessels anchored in the
fairways Will be removed at the ex-
pense of the owners.
Aids to Navigation Gone Wrong

steamer Quinault has reported to the
branch hydrographic office that the aids
TO navigation in Willapa bay are badly
disOrganiZed. The whistling buoy at
the entrance to the harbor has gone on
strike and refuses 10 whistle. Red
nun buoy No. S, in the channel leading
to South Bend. has gone adrift Bea-
con No. 10 is heeled over and half un-
der water.
A copy of the captains report has
been turned over 10 the lighthouse
board and the derelict aids will be re-
stored to efficiency as soon as possible.

and he'll max it popular passenger
liner"
