Ci) She gaUij gtoratt. ASTOKIA, OREGON: SUNDAY JANUARY 18, 1685 BiiAiKE is now said to bo figuring to go back to the senate from Maine. It is reported that the czar -will as sume the additional title of emperor of central Asia, and that there -will be a grand coronation ceremony at Samarcand. The depression of the ship building interest in Great Britain is exempli fied by the fact that there was a de crease of 450,000 tons in the net tonnage last year compared with .1883. " . In the house of representatives last Friday, on motion of Cobb, the hpuse refused to concur in the Asto ria land grant forfeiture bill as pass cdby the senate. This delays but docs not defeat the final forfeiture of the grant. The latest rumor regarding General Grant is that he is suffering from a swelling of tho tongue that threatens to develop into a cancer. It will be remembered that tho late Senator Hill of Georgia suffered from this terrible malady. ' Caxapxax millers are petitioning the dominion government to raise the duty on American flour from fifty cents to one dollar per barrel. Over 250,000 barrels were imported from tho "Dinted States last year by the maritime provinces. In case Dakota i3 not admitted to the Union some of tho noisiest poli ticians up there threaten to set up a northwestern republic of their own. The same kind of people talked of a Pacific republic in 1850 when Califor nia was kept out of tho Union on a sectional issue. It is generally understood in Lon don that the heir presumptive to tho throne will be made a duke, probably Duke of Kent, reviving the title of the queen's father. Tho temperance press makes an ado because the queen gave her royal grandson on obtaining his majority a silver punch bowL Congressman Taylob comes to the relief of the postmasters by showing that, as there are about 50,000 post offices to fill, and about fifteen appli cants for each, it will be a physical impossibility for the new president to attend to 750,000 claimants, and that consequently he will bo obliged to let the terms of postmasters expire, and thus divide the burden over sov eral years. The rival cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis show a growth, as repre sented by building operations, almost exactly equal for the past season. St. Paul has put up 1,920 residences and 4C3 other buildings, and Minneapolis 1,900 residences and 381 other build ings. The cost of all in St Paul was $7,2GG,000, and in the other city $7, 621,000. The total of both places was 4.724 buildings, at a cost of $14, 883,000 enough to make a very rep utable town. A Washington special of the JGlli saj-s it appears to be tbc intention of some members of congress to barrass tbe president with the bill for the re tirement of Grant. The bilL "which passed the senate does not contain the name of any one, but it is under stood the house will lay this bill aside, and pnss a bill containg Grant's name, which passed the sen ate last session. It this bill is passed the president will be compelled to veto, it on the same ground as tho Fitz John Porter bill. General Slo cum, in an interview, said he would call up the senate bill to retire Grant on tho first opportunity, and push it through the house. Tho president would then be compelled to retract his objections to tho Porter bill, or veto the Grant bill. The prospects of a proposed route from the Canadian northwest to Eu rope via Hudson's bay are not consid ered encouraging, A diary for August shows that ice prevailed in tho straits for nineteen days out of the thirty onej and that "snow-storms prevailed on five other daj's. As the straits ought to be open during August, the outlook for the other months cannot be bright. -J. W. Klatze, a Dominion government official, Tvho was sent to inquire into the feasibility of con structing a railway from Winnepeg to Hudson's bay, has returned to Ot tawa. He does not -speak favorably of the ultimate success of the under taking, and thinks if it is ever ac complished, it will be at a price which few capitalists will care to pay. Put the difficulties of tho navigation of the straits and the almost insurmount able barriers in the way of construct ing a railway to the bay together, the .outlook for northwest settlers having direct communication by this route with Europe is not at all hopeful. It is a somewhat remarkable fact, says the London World, that the cheapest way to send a certain class of goods from Liverpool to London is via New York. This arises from the keen competition between out ward-bound Atlantic steamers for profitable dead weight The other day about onp thousand tons of rough freight was offered for car riage to London, no time being spec ified. The London linos tendered at 10s a ton, butoneof the Atlantic firms undertook to deliver it for 03 a ton, and the offer was accepted. There are some funny bills being introduced in the legislature. Hirsch, of Multnomah, has introduced a bill in the senate "reducing the fees of school clerks." The average I school clerk doesn't get enough out of the office to pay for the cussing he gets from those he fails to satisfy. Another bill is similar in import to a law that we have hero in Astoria; it gives anyone a right to carry a re volver on payment of alicense of $2.50 a year. Nothing is said about char actor, calling, exigency or circum stance of any kind. The $2.50 is enough and constitutes sufficient cre dentials. The United States exhibit at tho New Orleans exposition is very back ward. An appropriation of $300,000 was made to bring goods from de partments in Washington and put them on exhibition. There being no lack of money, and tho display not yet being in order, some explanation ought to be given. One of the most important branches of the govern ment got only $15,000 of the $300,000. Somebody will bo poking around one of these days to know how tho $300, 000 was expended. Ihe display of portraits of some of the government officials, particularly in the state de partment, shows perhaps one of the ways the money has gone. What place the portraits of government officials have in an exposition of tho industries of tho country is not to bo determined, unless they come in un der tho head of products. In a recent sermon Beecher thus paints tho strong contrast between tho Jesus of eighteen centuries ago and of tho present day: "Then men were aBhamed of him. Well, why might they not be? Bear in mind that ho was a peasant, a carpenter. and in Galilee; and Galilee was what the Five Points used to bo in New York. Some of them had their doors made by him; ho put in window sashes for them; he had made cradles and cribs for them. And you may depend up on it his joints fitted and he never covered bad jobs with putty. But. after all, he was only a carpenter, and when he began to teach in tho syna gogue on tho Sabbath thoy were of fended at him. They were not going to take such a man for their ideal. Now ho is the world's hero. Ho is the center of architecture, of paint ing, of sculptured art He is tho life of embellishment itself, and pleasuro frescoes him in every shape, and all worldly devices are around about him to celebrate theboauty and lordliness of the Galilean peasant Pearls and diamonds framo crosses which palpi tate on the bosoms of beauty. In his day the cross was an instru ment of torture, the lowest and bas est; now, higher than the sword, tho throne, the crown. Tho morning sun kisses it on tho cathedral spire, and farewell light glitters from it aB tho sun departs." 1IE. At Chinook, W.
