ARE fCARFUL
RnssiausWori ietl as to Safety
Of Bishop
Bishop Innocent, ot the Russian
church In Alaska, is supposed to have
been a passenger on the missing steamer
Dora, which has not been seen since
December 21, and from which no
authentic reports have come. As the
days come and go and no repopts from
the ship is received the anxiety on the
part of the communicants of the Russian
church for their bishop is becoming
very great.
It has been the hope of the ownei-9 of
the Dora and the relatives and friends
of those who are known to have been
aboard the craft when she laat was re
ported that the vessel is broken down
in some safe harbor, awaiting a rescue
ship from some source. It is still so
' hoped, but it is fast becoming the thin
of dlspair.
