PARKER, Assignee. A Card to the Public. My attention was this evening called to the following Item In thv Budget: It will be a good thing for the town when the old bankrupt stock of Dins more is gotten rid of, and the whole out fit leaves town. It has been no go. d from the start It Is about time the people shut down on these outsldo penny-catch concerns. In reply to the above, I wish to state that I object, most emphatically, to any blackmailing scheme. Regarding ad vertising as a business proposition, I shall advertise only where I know It will bring good results. Mr. Dunbar kept quiet from February 22d until March 22d, during which period I ad vertised in his paper. On the latter date I discontinued my advertlsment, having found that the Budget was de ficient In circulation, and consequently UBeless as an advertising medium. Since then I have repeatedly refused the solicitations of his agents for patronage, and thinking to coerce me he now tries the blackmailing method. The following shows for itself: Astoria, March, 1803. M. Dlnsmore Bankrupt Sale; To the Astoria Budget, Dr. to adver tising from February 22d, to March 22d, $24. Received payment, Astoria Budget, per L. E. S. The bargains given at the Dlnsmore bankrupt sale speak for themselves, and no blackmailing newspaper idiots need apply for advertising patronage.

New Tork, April 28. Now that ' the Columbian naval review has been of ficially completed there naturally a considerable amount of speculation has been started as to what is --one with the several rir" 0,6 United States -me ot the offlcer wno ii from Washington today made -font this skeleton program and Is I stronly Impressed that It would be car ried out in nearly .the manner in which he outlined it.

Offers of gold In exchange for legal tender notes are still being received at the treasury de partment. The aggregate runs into hundreds of thousands during the past week. Reports from New York lndl cate that very little if any gold will go tomorrow, and this In connection with the low rate of exchange, Is accepted oy the treasury officials as a most en couraglng fact, and an indication that if the gold tide Is not actually turned it has been stemmed for the present, There Is still considerable talk of an extra session for the consideration of the financial question. The consensus of opinion seems to be that an extra session will be convened about the first pf September, but called no- more for the consideration of the financial ques tion than the readjustment of the tar iff. . SENATOR CHANDLER'S POSITION Washington, April 28. Senator Chan dler has some positive: views on finan cial and other questions of the day, "I can state the position I take," said the senator, "In a single proposition, and that is that the secretary of the treasury ought to use the hundred mil- Hons of reserve if it becomes necessary, and not Issue any- bonds until he obliged to. That large fund was made to be used; that is what It Is there for, and It should be called upon before any other steps are taken. The law re quires national banks to retain ten per cent o'f their earnings for a surplus to be used as an emergency, and why snouia not the government resort to the same policy? I am afraid that gold will soon go to a premium, and the country be forced to a silver basis, i When asked what effect the financial situation would have upon, the calling or an extra session, Mr. Chandler re- plied that that question could best be answered by the party now In power, 'The question of an extra session," he continued, "depend entirely upon the present administration; whether It Is broad and large in its contemplation of public affairs, or small and inade quate; whether it shall Inaugurate a policy of hauling down the flag, or waetner it snail prove strong and cour ageous. If it Is strong and has the courage for which some people give It credit, Mr. Cleveland will call an ex- tra session and seek the repeal of the law of 1890. Whether congress will or will not follow the advice of the presi dent in this matter, he can at least place the responsibility upon It. In my oplnon Mr. Cleveland will surely go to ruin If he permits gold to go to a pre mium rather than call an extra session of congress." CHINESE ACTORS COMING. Tacoma, April 28.
