 The LatOuche should report itself
 today, in the opinion of the Agent of the Alaska Steamship Co.,, al though yesterday nothing was heard

 The schooner Silver Wave left agaiu yesterday for St. MiChaels A hurry-up call from many pas sengers at St. Michaels who are anX- ious to get over to Nome caused the departure of the steamer The Silver Wave cannot leave for Candle and other northern points before the arrival of the Latouche with mail and therefore it was deter mined to leave for St. ATichaels at once.
