The question of tho mental condition of Matt Hilstroin. who killed Lake Mooers at Lewis and Clark last week. has been passed upon by the author! - tics at the state ln.ane asylum at Sa- lent. In answer to an imuury Dr. Wil llumson, the oldest asylum physician In point of service, Bald that there could be no doubt that Hilstroin Is In sane. The usual symptoms of Insanity are observed, and while the patient is not violent his actions show that he la demented. Hllstrom will be kept In the most secure wards at the asylum, In order that ho may have no oppor tunity $o do mischief. The precautions taken against pos sible attempts on the part of HIlBtrom to do any further murderous work are In lino with the urgent recommenda tions of a member of the lunacy com mission before which Hllstrom was ex amined in this city. The only devia tion Is that It was this physician's opinion that Hllstrom should be In carcerated In some place of detention throughout the remaining years of his life. SOLFILINB. SolfUlne! SolHUne!

Mr. T. H. McGovern, who came out from New York as a representative of the Ea3tern stockholders expressly to attend the meeting, was seen by an Abtorian representative on the pros pects for the coming season. Mr. McGovern stated that there was nothing relating to the Immediate af fairs of the Association that lie cared to state for publication, further than ' lhat t!ie management and outcome of ' lnst wason'a operations w as more j tlum "'"factory to himself and those w horn he represented. An to the outlook for the coming sea son, Mr. McGovern said that In all the year of his experience In the Indus try he had never seen prospects bet ter. "There has never been a time," said he, "when the stocks of Colum bia river salmon have been so light In the first hands. The output for last yenr was fur bebw the demand. This Is true of not only Columbia river goods but also of all other grades of salmon. The market is higher than eve:- known before and In my Judg ment Is destined to go even higher." Being asked the reason for tho un usual demand Mr. McGovern stated that, In his opinion, It was due to the remarkable Improvement in business and the general prosperity of the people. "Never has there been such a br!;:ht outlook for all kinds of Indus trial occupations as at this time in thia country," said Mr. McOovern. "People in New York and all over the East and. Middle West are buying more largely of all classes of goods and bet ter gradi s than ever demanded hereto fore. The future Is most encourag ing and It Is only natural that our particular commodity, Columbia river salmon, should share In an Improve ment that Is universal." j Mr. McGovern will leave Astoria for Pi get sound this evening, and after a few days there on business for his firm, will return direct to New York.

On January 9 a hurricane sprang up, and the glass went down to 2S.10. The wind was simply awful; it couldn't have blown harder. We lost nearly all of our sails which made our trip exceedingly difficult." The captain says Manila is in a frightful condition, commerce being absolutely at a standstill. While he was laying In the harbor he could frequently hear the booming of cannon In the moun tains off In the distance. "But," said tfle captain, "the Manila men are not worrying much, for they are expecting a great deal from Uncle Sam's com merce when the war Is over." The experiences of the Belmont were prac tically duplicated with the steamer Tee In North Paclflo waters, the vessel having just reached Victoria. The Tee left Victoria two weeks ago Tuesday, entering the Lynn canal In due season, although she had experienced bad weather from Wrangel Narrows north. In Lynn canal a terrible blizzard was blowing and Captain Gosse decided to spend the night In William Henry bay, 45 miles from Skaguay. The storm In creased during the night and was blowing big guns, carrying clouds of snow with it when daylight broke in the morning. At 8:30, finding that anchors were dragging, and that there was danger of the steamer being driven on the rocks. Captain Gosse rang to the engineer for full steam ahoa -J, and hoisting his anchors start ed In the teeth of the storm. It was a hard fight, lasting all day, but the brave little steamer won out and land ed her passengers safely In Skagway. During the trip Captain Gosse and Pliot Steele, who were on the bridge all day, could not discern the shores of Ljnn canal, so thick wus the snow falling, or, rather, being driven, as a biting wind was blowing douw the canal. The officers rubbed each others faces in enow to keep them from freez ing. When the schooner reached bkagway she was one mass of Ice. NOTICE TO FISHERMEN.
