All these craft encountered all the late heavy weathaer, and were roughly handled. When the Oregon tovwed up the river last evening she had a bad list, vindicating a shifted cargo or that she had water im her. The wind yesterdavy was southwest. DANGEIKOUM CURRENT. The current outof tthe harbor was again swift and dangerous yesterrday, and the tugs had great difficulty with their i tows. The steamship Wet-more and barge Brumette got across the channel at Rush street and thtere was a blockade for some time. The steamships Fred Murcur could not be handled and got acnross the channel at Clark street, and the tugs decoupled a long time straightening her up. There were various occurrences of this kind about the hiarbor during the dav and last evening, but no (damage resulted beyond the delay. The current ^was even stronger than on Tuesday. It is cause*d by the late heavy rains. THE I.ENCOLN DAIX. Special Telegram to The inter Ocean. Escanaba, Mich., Mov, 7.—The schooner Lincoln Dall is reported ashore on Detroit Island.

A dispatch from Ottaiwa, Ont., says: Staff Commander Doulton, R. N.., has just returned to Ottawa, after spending some months in preparing for a detailed nautical survey of Georgian Bay, which will be undertaken next summer. He says that the reports of seamen as to the existence of shoals and reef in Georgian Bay that arc not marked on admiralty charts have been confirmed, but aads that Bayfield in his charts never made pretensions to absolute accuracy. Commander Boulton has not been able to procure assistants from the admiralty office, and will ask the Dominion Government to send a couple of young men with him mext season. He has spent the summer making observations, collecting information, and laying out plans for the work of surveving, which he estimates will occupy at least five years, as the coast of Georgian Bay and islands is several thousand miles in- length. He will advise the Dominion Government to purchase or build a steamer specially for surveying purposes. Nothing new can be said of freight rates at Cleveland. They are simply steady at old figures and give promise that fthey will remain so on to the close of the season. The charters reported yesterday were the schooner Margret A. Muir, coal, from Cleveland to Chicago, $1; schooner Winslovv, ore, from Escanaba to Ohio pons, $1.50; schooner H. A.

Cleveland Herald; "Coal freights at this port are dull, and they hav-e been for some time. But few charters are reported from day to day, an 1 while it is known that some others are made, it is also to be seen that the movement of freights is light. Just now the supply of coal is not good, and that certainly is not an inducement for an upward tendency in prices. The principal shippers are paying $1 to Chicago and Milwaukee, but odd loads will get higher prices, so that no change had been made since the last quotations. The following charters were reported yesterday: Schr Margaret A.

An Englishman has invented a self-registering compass, which, in addition to the regular functions of that useful Instrument, keeps an exact record of every course steered, the change of every course, the time when each change is made, and the length of time which the ship is kept on each steered course, and forms an automatic log which shows., without anv' outside aid, the entire working of the ship, from the time of leuving to that of arriving at port. The steamer China had such a large cargo on Wednesday night that she could not take two steam pump3 to the barge Rutter. The tug Swain was therefore engaged and left Wednesday evening, taking two fourteen-inch Worthington pumps.—I)etroit Free' Press. ¦ Captain Dahlke, Jof the American Eagle,_ intends to bring suit against the city for the damages received some time ago when she was towing the 0. H. Johnson through Columbus street draw. The Eagle started through the port draw at a time when a line: from the derrick was stretched across, and the tenders swung back the draw, refusing to allow- the vessel's passage, As a consequence a collision occurred between the Eagle and her tow, the result of which was damage to the amount of several hundred dollars to the tug's stern and the Johnson's headgear, jib-boom, and sails. The American Eagle is a Chicago tug, which came here but a few months ago, and is running indepeud ently of the tug .companies.— Cleveland Herald. Cleveland Leader; "Captain I. 0. Overman, the United States Engineer located at this port, has issued orders that all vessels seeking the protection of the breakwater will be required to anchor at the upper end of that structure, so as to leave the way open for other incoming craft. It would seem that this order should hardly have been necessary, but is made so for the reason that several vessels during the late storm anchored at the entrance of the breakwater to the serious risk and inconvenience of ships. They will now he compelled to lie at anchor farther within the inclosure or run the risk of heavy fines." FREIGHTS. CONDITION OF THE MARKET. Corn to Buffalo, 3\c; wheat, 4c; corn to Sarnia, 3c.

It is apparent that the bresaking down of the dam across the Milwaukee Rivrer is the cause of the comparatively rapidly hilling up of that stream below the old dam tsite, on account of which city officials apprehiend considerable trouble. The sediment from t;he head-waters of the river, which formerly accuimulated above the dam, and also the latter alluviuim, are both getting into the navigable portiom of the stream and accumulating in the bed of tihe river. Besides, the water is not agitated sufficiently to keep the sediment flowing into the rivew from the sewers buoyant until carried off into t;he lake. The consequence is a dredge will haive to be employed almost constantly to keep the "bottom from getting too near the top," as an eldl seaman expressed it to a reporter this forenoon.—.Milwaukee Evening Wri$consi7b. THE GALE. COLD WEATHER AKD XOB. A gale from the west set in yesterday, and continued all the afternoon and all night. It was the first real "fall gale" that has come along this sea-eon. The weather was cold, and grew more so last night. The captain of the schooner Hattie Hutt, which left port in the morning, was laughed at because he had several barrels of salt on board to be used in case of freezing weather and ice. Last night the captain's wisdom and forethought were well proven. The weather was cold enough for Decomber, and ice made rapidly on craft outside in the sea. The decks and pilot houses of the tugs were covered with ice. and the tugmen complained bitterly of the extreme cold and the danger of moving about on deck. NO OFFICIAL WARNING. The signal service is fast gaining a reputation r utter unreliability. No indication or warning of this last great gale was given, and vessel masters and vessel owners are full of indignation and wrath. If there was no signal service navigators would depend upon their own observations and their own judgment of the signs overhead, but they tor some of them) have learned to place some dependence on the government service, and when they find themselves misled and confidenced thev think there is just cause for complaint. Numerous vessels left the various ports just before the storm, thinking there would be fair weather, there being no storm warning up. AU these craft arc caught tn this wintry, freezing gale, and the chances are that a number of disasters have occurred. With such colil weather the running gear land even the sails) freeze up, and a vessel does not stand nearly the chance she would in a warmer atmosphere. It was clear and moonlight last night, and this would prove a great help, as poor Jack could at least see where he was driving to. On the east shore of this lake the sea was terrific, and a vessel stranding would go to pieces so rapidly or be swept so fearfully bv the waves that there would be little or no hone for the nnh&Tiov crew. ujiiitiuMuns, nue a ierry boat, and contain^ places lor six oars. The scow is to be. used withi a two-cylinder force pump and 150 feet of htose that arrived some time since to put out any fibre likely to occur to vessel property.

The cure is prettly certain, and rapid too— Vie¦velanirt Plain De a lijr. The Cleveland Herald publishes a senffl&tlonal account oi how Captain Dahlke, of the tug American Eagle (from Chicago), proposes to sue the city for several hundred dollars for damages sustained to his tug and to the schooner C. H. Johnson, which was in tow, bv negligence of the Columbus street bridge-tenders. The truth is that Captain Dahlke presented a bill oft some $130 to the city for those damages, and it will likely be paid without any suit, as the accident Was pretty clearly the fault of the bridge-tend-ers.—-Cleveland Plain Dealer The Bay City Tribune says: "There is quite a large fleet of floats in port at present loading lumber for Ohio and New York ports. The craft tot Ohio will probably make one more trip besides the present, and most of the others are on their last trip to'Buffalo and Tonawanda. It will be seen by the charters that some of the carriers have withdrawn from the regular channel and are moving for other than their usual ports. The season has boon a fair one, everything taken into consideration. Most of the boats have ma/ie money, and the rest have paid expenses. The shipments this year may not reach the figures made last season, yet an immense amount of forest products has gone out to market. To-day the rates obtained are on a basis of $2@2.25 to Ohio ; and $2.50@2.75 to New York." THE 'LONGSHOREMEN-. LATEST OF THE SITUATION. There has been no change tn the situation of affairs at the lumber yards of Eathbun & Co. Twenty-ninth Separate Company remains on duty, and it was reported this morning-that1 the services of this company will be retained till Wednesday of next week. It is doubtful, however, if the report will be verified should the requisite number of spe oial policemen be sooner obtained. The soldiers are becoming- heartily tired of the protracted service they are engaged in This morning a reporter found that" the various extemporized sentry boxes had been named and some have signs with the titles upon them. The names are suggestive us well as euphonious—"Bobbers' Boost," "Barbers' Itch," "The Black Hole," "Grady's Hotel," etc. The steam-barges Resolute and Beliance discharged their cargoes and left port about 10 o'clock last evening. Seven lumber dealers notified Sheriff Huntington yesterday that they will hold the county responsible for the safety of their property. One of the Canadian laborers left the employ of Eathbun & Co. this morning. The man evidently felt some concern about his safety on emerging from the protection of the soldiers, as he studiously avoided the vicinity of every 'longshoreman he saw. The latter, however, paid no further attention to him than to laugh at the zigzag course he indulged in while trying to avoid them.—Oswego Times, Monday. THE EXTEEIOR BREAKWATER. The tugs Mosher and Humphreys towed out a large new crib yesterday morning, which was to be. added to the new exterior breakwater being "constructed olf Chicago by the government. The storm sprung up, and the scows, with stone for ballasting, could not be taken out. The tugs made the new crib as secure as they could, and were tnen compelled to run for the harbor for their own ga . There were fears last night that the crib would ! be swept away and lost. These great cribs are filled with sltone and sunk 1 to the bottom, thus forming, with the superstructure, a sea wall or breakwater. If the one taken out yesterday was swepjt away during the night the loss will be in the neighborhood 1 of $3,000. This new breakwater has been greatly damaged by the storms (during the sea-eon arid the work greatly retarded, FEARS.

The Inter Ocean's dispatch !'¦ om St. Joseph, printed yesterday, stated positively that Captain Blackburn was on board the tug and not on the schooner, and the fact gave his relatives and friends great comfort. CROWDS AT THE INTEtt OCEAN OFFICE. During the evening and late into the night various friends and relatives of those on board the two craft visited The Inter Ocean office and eagerly drank in the latest advices. The fact that the Arab was still afloat in the morning and that she had washed away from the beach when the tng became disabled was regarded as great encouragement that she and her crew would Anally tnrn up safely. And the general hope, a deep prayer, indeed, was that the Protection's cable would not part. THE LATEST TIDINGS. THE INTER OCEAN'S SPECIAL REPORTS. (Special Telegram to The Inter Ocean. Saugatuuk, Mich., Nov. 13., 7 p. m.—The tug protection is off this port disabled,haviug lost her Bering gear. Her signals of distress were heard fcbout 8 o'clock this morning, at which time a (schooner was seen making for the lake which had been in tow of the tug.

Crowds of people visited the Vessel O'wner's Tug office yesterday aborning to learn if any word had been received from, the missing tug Protection and the schooner Arab, among them relatives and friends of the eighteen men on board the craft. One lady, Mrs. Powers, whose two sons arc on the Protection, was in great dis-tHM, but hoped for the best. The officers of the company could give no encouragement for hope, as no tidings had been received. HOPE. Thus matters stood until 11 o'clock, when the following dispatch was received: Sangattjck, Mich., Nov. 13.—J. Tj. Higrgie, V. O. T. Line, Chicago: One of your tugs is anujhored outside, disabled and dragging anchor. Yery heavy sea. 0. M. Cook^ Deputy Coll&ctor. The dispatch was read aloud to the exo^wd in the office, and a hearty cheer went up. There was at least some hope. Some one with an excellent base voice broke out in song, and the whole assemblage joined in: Bright star of hope Shed your beams on me. And send a loving message From far across the sea. If Deputy Collector Cook could only have seen and heard those happy people—could only have seen the happiness depicted on every countenance and heard the hearty expressions from all, be would doubtless have considered himself ainply repaid for his kindness in telegraphing the glad news. Manager Higgle telegraphed for additional news and gave orders that no expense be spared to rentier assistance. ANOTHER DISPATCH.

With plenty of brave men here, it does seem criminal that the means to render assistance, when needed, is not provided by the government. A patrol will be on the beach all night to render what little aid they can. If she holds out until morning the uug Ganges will endeavor to go out to her. Daylight is anxiously looked for by all around here. HOLDING HER OWN—THE ARAB. Special Telegram to The Inter Ocean. Saugatuck,Nov. 13,7:30p.m.— The tug Protection is still holding her own in excellent shape, and is not. drifting shoreward a bit. She is doing some heavy tumbling, and the line may break at any moment. The fuel has not yet given out, and from all appearances her engine has been kept running for the purpose of easing up on the line. Sho has a long line out, which gives her a better ehftuee than if it was short. She has not sounded her whistle since 5 o'clock. She schooner Arab is reported ashore nine miles south of Grand Haven.

Saugatuck, Mich., Nov. 13, 11:30 p. m.—The Protection was first seen about. 7 o'clock this morning, some five miles south of this harbor, at which time the schooner was still in tow of the tug. Shortly after that time the accident to her steering gear must have happened, as i: was $ee& that the schooner was standing out to sea, -the tug appearing helpless. A sail was rigged upon the tug with something which looked like an awning, and she drifted rapidly in toward the shore. Seeing that it was certain death to run ashore the anchor was let go and her signals of distress were sent out. At this hour, 11:30 n.m., her anchor cable still holds.
