of *a’t hernng shipped to the j

the vessel was within a couple

Japanese coast, she encounter

was driven back almost all the
way to Alaska, and in the

of course paid fo • the burned

STEAMERS ARE DELAYED
The bad weather—snow and
wind—of the past few days
materially delayed the steam,,

having put in an appearance up
to "2:30 this afternoon. A fall
of two feet of snow is reported
from Wrangell and points
north during the past 2i hours,
which no doubt is the cause of
(he delay.
