m fo gattjf QAwfaM. ASTOEIA. OBEGON: SATURDAY.... ....JA2JUAHY 8. 1887 TARIFF REVISIOy. In the belief that no legislation can be effected by the present con gress to relieve the treasury from the ever increasing surplus, the story has been started that an ei tra session "will be called to de rise means for a reduction of the revenues. An official of the treas ury department is quoted as au thority for the prediction that the president will convene the Fiftieth congress within thirty days from the 4th of March should nothing be done before that date, and that no' blame be could attach to the administration should diverse views continue to prevent remedi ftl legislation. This talk is not given muoh credence for the rea son that the president's plan of reducing the revenue can only be carried into effect by a majority of his own party, and that majority is larger in the present house than it will toe in the next. In the pro portion that the Democratic ma jority is reduced the administra tion's theories have a lesser chance ' of being carried into execution, and as most of the champions of those doctrines in the present con gress have been retired to private life the- new house will con "tain fewer men willing to champion and support such 1 propositions as the Morrison bill, which the administration has used every effort to have passed. If the administration cannot suc ceed with a party majority of over forty, it cannot hope to do any- thing with but seventeen as a mar ginj'and an extra session is, therefore, unlikely. Whatever is to be done in the way of reducing the revenues, must refrain from all jfiree trade tendencies and guard against the disturbances of the es tablished industries and the pres ent rate of wages for labor. Re publican congressmen will aid the Democratic majority in any plan for reducing the revenues, sincere ly meant, but they will not offer measures for the majority to pass and claim the credit of. The fre quent conferences of the tariff Democrats, as the protection wing of the party is called, may result in the framing of a bill reducing the duty on sugar, tobacco and al cohol used in the arts, but the Morrison bill stands on the calen dar ahead of alb tariff measures, and there has been evidence enough to make the prediction safe that there will be no reduc tion of revenues by the present congress. In Petaluma, Cal., recently, Mr. Baliff was on trial for murder. His name was on the sheriff's venire and he was drawn for a juror. He received S1G for ser vices as a juror in his own case. This is believed to be the first in stance of the kind on record. The editor, of an exchange says: "The longer we run a newspaper and write about people and events, the more we realize how utterly impossible it is to scratch every man where he itches the most."

A dispatch received by the Merchants' JiiXchange to-day states that the American ship Harvey Mills, which has been long overdue at this port from Seattle, was wreoked sixty mile3 off Cape Fattery ana that tne survivors who were picked up by the bark Majestic, bound for San Diego, were landed at ban Pedro this morning. The first officer left immediately for this city on the steamer Orizaba. A press dispatch from San Pedro announces the arrival there of the snrvivors of the crew. From them it is learned that the vessel left Seattle, under Uapt. Draw ford, with a cargo of coal for San Francisco December 12. Two days later a gale was enconntered sixty miles southwest of (Jape Flat tery, in whioh the vessel foundered. The only survivors known are first officer Cushman, Alexander Yoljens and Jacob Brown, seamen. It is not stated how many wore aboard at the time of the disaster. The survivors were picked up in an open boat by the bark Majestic, bound for Sun Diego, and landed at San Pedro, near .Los Angeles. The Harvey Mills was about 2,000 tons burden, owned joint ly by Capt. Crawford, Capt. "Warren and by a number of eastern people. She was valued at 64,000, on which was a small insnrance. The cargo valued at $12,000, was consigned to J. F. Chapman & Co., of this city, and fully insured. The entire crew and officers, it is learned, consisted of twenty-four men. The captain and three men at tempted to leave the ship in a boat. which, however, capsized as soon as it left the ship's side, and it is believed all were drowned. Four others took a raft, but have not since been heard from. Mate Cushman and three of the crew also left the ship on a raft. but before they were picked up one of them went crazy and jumped over board. The remaining twelve stuck to the ship, and, as the survivors saw her go down, all on board must have perished. The rescued men left to-day for this city. Mos t Excellent. J, J.
