The United States steamer Warrington, Captain Scott, arrived fiom Detroit with the machinery for two fog whistles, which are to be erected at the hike entrance to the ship canal. Captain Davis, lighthouse en¬ gineer, accompanied the Wiirrlngton, whloli also brought material for the construction of the signal station and u force of men to construct the bplldlng.

The War- rlneton left for Escanaba for the purpose of giving Captain Davis an opportunity to visit Peninsula point, where It Is proposed to lo- cute 'a new .lighthouse.

The Goodrich steamer began her season's work on the new route from Manitowoc to this port, via the Door, this week. She con¬ nects at Manltowoo with the boats running southward, and touches atullthe prominent ports on this peninsula, and also at Menom¬ inee, going both ways, making a route which is moio convenient fottho travelers and more interesting to the excursionist than any previous arrangement made by the Goodrich line. With four pnBsenger and freight steamers running on Gicen Bay, the corona, Musko- gon, Welcome and the City of Green Bay, there Is no lack ot transportation lacllitles, and business will need to bo lively it all of these Btearnors And paying employment. Indications are that the ship canal will not make bo favorable an exhibit this season as it did last year. Loworfielghts and lighter shipments cause many vessel! to enter and leave Groon Bay through the Door to avoid paying the canal tolls and towage bills. I roivr uunoN, The tohoonor L. L.

Vessels can shave her close to tho north, but should give her a berth of at least half a mile to the south. The captain of the schooner George Sher¬ man, which was so roughly handled by the gale In Saginaw Buy, and towed Into Sand Beach by the tug John Martin, reports that the only thing that saved the schooner In' the heavy sens was the use of oil.
