Owing tt the absence of County Clerk
Wherity from the city yesterday tho
canvass of the vote of Wednesday's
ult election was not made. Until this
I done It cannot be ascertained whether
tho act to appoint a park commission
wa adopted or not. The vote on the
question stood 615 for acceptance and
122 against It, but to carry, the yeas
have to have a majority of all the votes
cast. The highest vote for any one
candidate waa VU3, but thla may not be
the total vote. The fact Is pretty
generally accepted, however, that the
vea will w in aa the total vote would
have to be over 1029 to defeat It. As
Judge Urower will be out of town to
day the canvass will not be made bo
fore tomorrow.

It is announced that the rever has left
him, but hla physician aay he will
not be able to go to hla office before
January 1. Aa this 1 the s.-am when
tho secretary's biennial report must be
prepared, It la especially Inconvenient
for him to be absent from his office
wrk at till time, Mr. Dunbar's Ill

by too close application to his work,
for he la at hl office early In the morn

Mr. Zimmerman, of the firm of
Wolff lc Zwlcker, at Portland, when
aiked yesterday morning regarding the
story that wa being re-porttd that the
elforta to flcat the lightship were
to be given over stated that no thoughts
had been entertained of abandoning
the lightship, and that a crew was
kept constantly at work at the scene.
She was moved down the beach 40 feet

progr wus being made daily. No
date ha been set f.r a final attempt
but the contractors are confident she
will le worked oft the sands gradual

The comedian. Walter Walker, ac
companied by the dainty comedienne,
Mildred St. Pierre, and a cast of un
usual excellence will present "That
Mini it Fisher's opera house next
Monday night. This Is the comedy that
made all New York laugh when pro
dueed at the Herald Square tlR-a'er.
and out of over sixty newspapcra it
received not one bad notice. The role r.f
Theophllua Montjoy's is very happily
suited to Mr. Walker's talent ror he
certainly did score a great succen sea
son berore last In the star role in
"A Cachelnr's Honeymoon," and last
season In "The Nominee." and It ia the
general crlnion that the young man will
ere many Reasons rank as our fore
moat comedian. Advance sale of seats
op ns at Grlflin & Heed' Saturday
morning,
It Is safe to say that, should the op
portunity again occur. Fisher's opera
house will be found too small to ac
commodate the crowd which will turn
out to learn "Why Smith Left Home."
Th piny last night waa positively the
best comedy which has been presented
In Astoria for a great many months,
and It merit wa appreciated by the
audience, aa was evidenced by the al
Tost continuous applause and curtain
calls at the end or each act. It would
he unfair to single out any one mem
ber of the comDany for praise. Each
character, no matter how small, was
painstakingly handled, and careful at
tention was given to costuming and
tage setting. It might not be amiss
to say that Liszie May Ulmer. aa the
"secretary of the Cook Ladies' Union,"
Is entitled 'to the cake.
Sheriff Frailer, of Portland, when
abkkd concerning the charges made
against a deputy sheriff by District At
torney Chamberlain in regard to the
jury on the Fay Severe caae made
the following statement: "In regard to
the assertion that one or the deputy
sheriffs Influenced the jurors, or at
tempted to. I know nothing more than
tht a deputy met the Jury and in
vited them to take a drink, and that
while ro doing he may have said some
thing. One or the Jurors made this re
port, tut declared that he did not be
lieve the deputy meant anything out or
the way. I am willing to have the man
Investigated." It Is rumored that the
deputy In question has been suspended.
When Sheriff Frailer was asked about
the rumor this afternoon, he replied
that the deputy had not been suspend
ed, but had been laid oft for a while.

ly affect the shipments of American
merchandise to the Orient and especial
ly that or flour. While the shipments
were affected slightly they have been
much larger than waa anticipated. The
war has probably relieved the flour
situation. A blockade at Hong- Kong
had been diligently forecasted for
months by exporters and shlping men,
but this was averted by the outbreak
of the war, which resulted in the use
of American flour.
K'l lai h
Shipments have continued as regular
ly as they did before tne ouiDrean.
i.m... k..4 haon o iimiilatlnif In Hong
Kong and it was stated in advices from
thei Orient that the warenouses at nuiig
Kong were full of flour and little op
...,.nit r.r 11ftrVinn' nff tho accumu
lated product waa offered. It vvas ex
pected that shipments would have to
cease for a time, or at least be cur
tailed until the stocks could De woraea
oft.
The -coming of a large force which
was accustomed to the use of flour
made it possible to dispose of the stock,
and the regular demand made It possi
ble to continue shipments. The threat
ened exclusion of Amrelcan flour from
Siberia resulted in. shipments from
Hong Kong to Vladivostock. and It Is
now reDorted that Hong Kong- has no
more flour on hand than Is needed.

There are a number or cases of small
pox at Pendleton and considerable ex
citement haa been occasioned thereby.
The cases until the present time hava
leen of a very mild type, which is a

the families do not comply with the
law regarding quarantine, leading to a
still further spread of the disease.
