Tomorrow the schooner will put to sea, well equipped for her first trip under the new management. Hhe will probably remain on the hanks (or a W'vk or ten days. Captain Me Klnnon Is greatly pb-used with the ves sel and Is atulous to t-t MiirteJ on the trip. There Is plenty of time for natur alised clllxcns, who huve list their pa vers, to take out new papers In rea son to permit them to register. It can all be done at 'he same incetlitir of the county court. It can be done cither a', the April or Muy term, or at the pres ent term. The act would give such (Itlicns n ilear title to cltlxenshlp, a fact that In tho hereafter might be of usual untold valuo to them. The new steamer Itellance, being built for Tho Dalles, Portland & As toria Navigation compuny, Sa being ranldly pushed to completion. The boilers and engines have been placed In position, and the shaft formerly used In the old Inland Flyer Is being re moved from her und will be placed In the Itellance. She will .be launched about the 20th of the present month. It Is reported thnt the Paul Mohr Transportation company has decided to extend the portage rod from the Dig IMdy to a point directly opposite The Dalles, where Immense warehouses and wlmrfboats will be built and the ter minus grounds located, The people of The Dalles and residents along the Middle and Upper Columbia are en thusiastic over the prospects and are doing all that they can to further the enterprise. It Is understood that Dodwell & Co. have chartered the Russian steamer Dalnyvostock, from Japanese parties, and will put her in the trade between Tacuma and the Orient. The Dalynvos tock was one of the crack ships of the Puclllc A Oriental Line. This makes twelve lnrge steamers now In the Ori ental trade from the port of Tacoma. The Dalynvostock haa Just been re leased from the United States trans port service at San Francisco. The tea given at the residence of Mrs. J. R. Clinton, under the auspices of Gateway Rebekuh lodge yesterday af ternoon and evening was a most en joyable and successful occasion. The attendance was fur beyond the greatest expectations and the entertainment provided, most excellent In every re spect. In tho historical guessing con test Miss Nan Reed won the first prlno, and Charles Cleveland the "boo by." Tho party did not break up till a lute hour last night. Information Just received from the Orient from the Empress, of China con firms the report that a movement very similar to that of Coxey's army In Its march to Washington hus Just been broken by the Japanese national police, some 4,000 peasants whose furms had been destroyed by the operation of the corpcr deposits (the exiilatlons ruining the crops) organizing a descent upon Tokyo to present their grievances at the foot of the throne. They were stop ped at Tategama river, where a battle with the police occurred. The suffering agriculturalists were overcome. According to Information received from those who arrived at Victoria on lbs impress of China from Oriental ports, great excitement prevails In Yokohama In consequence of a more than usually threatening eruption of Asiimi volcano, 70 miles distant from Yokohama, thn belching of lava from Its crater having comrncn 'ed the day previous to the Kmpress' sailing Feb ruary 21 -and the summer homes of the American and Kuropean colony of Yokoh ima being In danger, with all the customary avenues of communication cut off. The Japanese steamship Doyo Marti ej-rlvd down the river yesterday morning and is at the bunkers of the I'm Iflo Coast Company, w h-re she will take on six hundred tons of coal. The M.iru Is manned entirely by Japan'-sn. Tho members of tho crew wear a sort of uniform ami auracicii mucn at tention on the streets yesterday. The Mhtu has u cargo of lumber. Hour an 1 wheal ,all of which Is for Yokohama. This Is the second entire rarg.j ever shipped from this port to Japan, the first belna that of the lluddon Hall. The Muru Is a small vessel, 'Hid the total Villus of her cargo Is only 14,730, hire cleared at the customs hous y.s lerduy. The suit of Michael Nets vs. the Clat sop Mill Company, will come up In the circuit court this morning on the de murrer to the amended complaint. .Whs ues for IIS.'hk) da-naices for In-Jurlt-s sustuined vlilli- he was einployi-d at the mill. Ills Injury, he alleges, was due to tlCKllgen-e on the part of the rornpar.y.' The complaint further states that the company agreed In writing to p.iy N'ess and to provide for him until he recovered from his Injuries, when hv ss to he given per manent employment; that he was In- ditcel to alien a release of the ugree ment on promises, made verbally, that he would be provided for; and that the company has not lived up to Its agree ment with him. The county court was chiefly engag ed in the Inspection and allowance of claims yesterday. The x-tltlon of Ja cob Sture, 5V. K. Joplln and others for road exl-nslons In district No. 10 waj lul.l over, after second rvading, for fu ture action. A letter wus rce. Ived by the court from J. It. Whirry, supervis or of road district No, 13, asking that the lime for opening roads In his dis trict be extended from April 1 to June 1; also that he will repair four bridgej In his district at a cost of ;:o. The Committee on ways and means from the city council appeared before tha court for th purpose of arriving at an un derstanding relative to the collection of road tnX' nnd the appointment of a supervisor In the district covered by the city of Astoria. Definite action was deferred because legal advice will have to be soukIiI to guide all parties concerned. Th't chief of police at Portland has received a letter concerning the notor ious David woman from Sixikane. as follows: "Spokane, Wash., March 5. I see by this morning's Spokesman Review, reference io one Hilda Hobson. She wus here In Spokane und come to my place of business. I thought her a rather strange person, one who could tell big yarns. I did some work for her which amounted to JS..V). I also loaned her a good dress-skirt, shirt waist and a new light-colored Fedora hut, besides several other articles. I have to earn my own living and would I would like to see such a woman used rough. I think she Is on her way to San Francisco. It would be a good Idea to inform the chief there. M. Louise King." It Is learned that the writer conducts a hulr-dressing es tablishment at Spokane. Hilda wore a blue waist and a black skirt during her sojourn in Portland. Perhops these are the articles she borrowed In Spo kane. Hilda Hobson is now in Jail at Corvallls, charged with tho larceny of U horse and buggy, w hich Is a peniten tiary offense. Items of considerable Interest are taken from Hong Kong and Yokoha ma papers, Just received, as follows: Rebellion Is rife In Swatow, several hundred villagers having risen against the authorities, aided by banditti, and LI Hung Chnnit has been appealed to for troops. General Wong-Kun-Fuk, himself a native of the district has been dispatched with the gunboat Chan To and an ample force to quell the dis turbances Viceroy LI Hung Chang has assumed control in Canton and at once inaugurated war upon the pirates, the majority of whom have abandoned operations with a popular declaration that they have no desire to violate law, when law Is fairly and Justly administered. A plot to poison the aged statesman by means of a treacherous cook waa discovered on January 21, Just in time to save Li's life The famous religious free dom measure, to terminate Buddhism as the state religion of Japan, was defeated In the house of peers, largely It is said through technical defects, the vote being 121 to 100. The tonsured priests of the old religion, who had or ganized and directed the opposition, tilled the strangers' gullarles. Inter rupted the champions of the bill throughout ihe debate, and so' loudly voiced their satisfaction at the meas ures' defeat that they were removed by the sergeant-at-arms The Uni ted States battleship Oregon has ar rived In Yokohama for a fortnight va cation, this being In accord with Ad miral Dewey's plan for tho preserva tion of the health of the men while on duty In so trying a climate as that of the Philippines. The presence of the Wheeling, Baltimore and Castlne, at Hong Kong Is said by the China Mall to be due to the discovery of a plot to enable Agulnaldo to escape to Eu rope by way of Singapore; launches for the taking of the Insurgent leader Pears' What a luxury Pears' soap is! The cheapest soap in all the world besides. from Luton are said to have been pur chased In Hong Kong A fa tality recently occurred on the V. S. H. Wheeling ut Hong Kong, while flre ing a salute In honor of the German emperor, whereby Gunner's Mate Campbell wus killed through the burst ing of a gun, and Lieutenant Comman der IJeaty, Ounners Conroy, Nelson and lilte were Injured. Sir Henry Blake, the governor, and other British resi dents sent 1,000 for the family of the deceased and the needy Injured, SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING. Measures to Prevent the Plague May Be Taken Saturday. Muyor Bergman will probably rail a I icpcr lal meeting of the council for Sat i urday night for the purpose of con j sldcring the ,-ecommendatlon of the ; board of health that Immediate steps be taken to exterminate all the rats In the city, as a precautionary measure against an epidemic, of bubonic plagu, i should the duseaae -nuke Its appear- . ance here. When seen by a reporter I lust evening, Mayor Bergman could j not state Just when he would call the meeting, aa he had not then consul tel with City Physician Henderson, but he thought the special session would be ! held Saturday night. The extermination of rats Is no small tusk, and is already causing the mu r.lclpat health authorities much annoy ance. Is It safe to authorize citizens V) scatter poison Indiscriminately about? Ifow will the bounty system be arrang-d7 What disposition will be made of the (lead bodies of the rats which succumb in the Interests of heulth? These are puzzling questions for those In charge of the city gov ernment to ponder over. At its Inst meeting the board of health leclded to recommend the pay ment of a bounty of 2 cents for each rat killed. Of course, evidence of the death of the rats must be presented I to the auditor, but whether the head or the tall of the deceased rodent shall be considered good evidence has not been determined. Two rents a rat Isn't very much, to be sure, but it Is suffi cient remuneration to enlist the effects of the rising generation. "The city might be bilked," suggests Auditor Nelson, "by the Importation of i rat carcusses from other places In the j county. If the council offers the boun j ty and I have to act as the city's agent, I do not care to assume the responsi bility of determining the residence of those rats which may be brought to me by bounty-seekers. All rats look alike to me." "How would it be for me to prepare an ordinance requiring rati to regis ter?" said City Attorney Smith. Seriously, however, the auditor's task will he anything but agreeable. The appearance of the disease In San Francisco and the case reported at Port Townsond have brought the local authorities to a realization of the neces sity for immediate action. Physi cians are a unit in agreeing that the plague may eventually reach Astoria, and the greatest precautionary meas ures which possibly can be taken Is the killing of rats. Without doubt, the council will act on the recommendation of the board of health and offer the bounty. The extermination of mice Is quite as Important as that of rats, many per sons believe, but City Physician Hen derson says such la not the case. "The rat Is a hobo and travels all over town, while the mouse prefers the pantry, seldom leaving the house," said he. "We should not experience much difficulty In ridding the city of rats, and that we should begin the crusade of extermination at once ad mits of no argument. The conse quences of an epidemic of the plague would be terrible." SIBERIAN EXILING TO BE PRO HIBITED. The thought of exiled Russian crim inals clanging their way ever the snows of the Siberian plains to a life of terrible desolation, Is one of horror. It Is now rumored that the barbarous custom la to be abolished, and that Siberia, which is really a fertile coun try, Is to be cultivated. This news will be welcomed as Joyfully by the far away convicts as is the fact by exiles of health, that Hostetter's Stom ach Bitters cures dyspepsia. Other so called remedies claim to cure. That Is all. The Bitters not only claims to cure, but haa done so for fifty years. It cures Indigestion, constipation, bil iousness, malaria, fever and ague, liver and kidney troubles. It is the best i.-.edlclne In the world for tide time of the year. TO THE TOBACCO TRADE. The wholesalers in Portland and San Francisco have combined to charge a set price for all tobacco. I buy direct from the same factories and for the same price as they do, therefore I am uule and willing to sell exactly at Port land rates. By patronising me you can at least save freight and purchase In quantities to suit your trade. Compare prices and be convinced. Respectfully, THEO.
