The business to be transacted Is to adopt resolution declaring the Intention of the council to Improve Seventeenth strvet between Franklin and Irving avenues. The Astorian Is Indebted to Master Allen Hughes for the Information that the W. V. T. C. gave an excursion to Seaside yesterday. When asked what the organisation was, Allen readily re plied that It was the Western Vnlon Telegraph Company. A match has been arrange between the Fort Stevens baseball team and the Astortans.

The steamer Nahcotta will take the Astortans to Ilwaco Sun day morning. The Fort Stevens team will charter a boat (or the occasion. The very excellent gentlemen who composed the regatta committee are to be complimented on the superb suc cess which attended their untiring lft -v bors of the past few weeks. The tour nament was a conspicuous event and one well calculated to prove that Aa torlans are not a dull and sluggish people, but a sprightly and Impassion ed element who have the latch string dangling for all who know and appre ciate a bustling city, and the hospitable community who make It so. The merry-go-round, which has been whirling delight to throng of old and young, will be bundled up this morning and shipped to Portland. After a brief run there, a new canvas overspread will be purchased, when the machine and paraphernalia will be loaded aboard ship and taken to Honolulu In the Hawaiian Islands. Inasmuch as an attraction of this character has never before entertained the people In that region, Mr. Arnold believes that til? Journey will result profitably to him. That he may meet with prosperity Is the heartfelt wish of his many Astoria friends. Vow that the regatta is over, and the din and confusion attending it have passed away, it should not be forgot ten that the Astorian proved alive to the occasion and presented its readers with the brightest and best account or the carnival published in any of the city papers. In the same connection it Is well to say that these columns will continue to sparkle with timely news vivaciously handled, and that It cannot help but come to be regarded as an lndespensable adjunct to the breakfast table, and take its place with the good wife's menu In making of the morning repast a banquet of literary as well as nutritious excellence. . Robert S. MacEwan, eighty-six years of age, and still robust In appearance, was in the city from his home on Clat sop plains yesterday. Mr. MacEwan came to see and participate In the pleasures of the regatta, and having fulfilled his purpose, left for his place of abode last night It will Interest many of .he Astorian's readers to know that this afTable old gentleman" was the first officer ever appointed for Clatsop county. Indeed, Mr. MacEwan was aboard the sloop or war Falmouth, at anchor here, when the county was first established. Judge William Strong Btood on the deck of the vessel nd administered the oath attendant on his appointment as county clerk. This was In 1S49, now 50 years ago. The United States training ship Adams arrived in yesterday from Pu get sound. The Adams came In with out a pilot and was compelled to take eniinrtlnirs all the way up the channel until Tongue point was reached, where she dropped anchor. Not being able to find a pilot at the mouth of the river an officer of the vessel was sent ashore to find one. Captain Granville Reed was engaged and took charge of the ship. The channel crossing the bay at Tontrue Dolnt Is one of the shoalest places on the river between Astoria and Portland. The tide was high and Captain Reed took the Adams safely through. The Adams is manned by naval anorentlses and Is on her annual cruise off the coast. What time she will remain in Portland could not be learned as she goes there under orders She is expected to lie at Astoria a few days on her return. The converted cruiser Badg?r, with Captain J. M. Miller In command, came down the Columbia last evening, bring ing with her the two divisions of the naval battalion stationed at Portland. While here the Badger will take aboard the Astoria division, and then pro ceed to sea for a ten days' roving voy age. The Astoria contingent corsiHts of 31 nettv officers and men. Lleuten ant Commander Sherman of this city Is In direct charge of the entire bat talion. Subordinate to him in the local division are Lieutenant R. F. Wilson, Lieutenant Chas. H. Abercombie, Jun ior grade, Oustav Zelgler and Paul A. Trulllnger, ensigns. The city boys are figuring on a lark of the first magnitude, but one who knows say that black code, hard tack and a llpsy swell wl'l make them think of home and mamma before the first day's sun has dipped his visage. The long expected ship MacDuff ar rived off the river yesterday afternoon and was towed Into the harbor with Pilot M. O. Staples on board. She Is laden with grain sacks and Is out IT! days from Calcutta. Provisions ran short before reaching the California coast the meat on board was entirely gone, as well as other articles of food. The transport Warren, bound for Ma nila, supplied the MacDuff with a boat load of provisions on August 14th, off the California roast. Including two quarters of fivsh beef. ' The men had been on short ratlous for about a wee previous and were half starved, out there was enough food on board to keep them alive until the Columbia river was reached. The Warren offered si second boat load of provisions, but Captain Huelln declined, believing he had sufficient to take him to his desti nation. Baffilng winds, however, con tinued up the roast and the MacDuff was deltyed longer that was expected. The MacDuff Is $0 days overdue and her passage la considered remarkable. It being the longest between the two ports of which there Is any record. The ship experienced a succession of hd winds, gales and culms from the date of leaving Calcutta and did not mevt with a week's favorable wind during the entire trip. Captain Hue'.ln had a lucky, though a long and tedious pas sage, and no accidents of any klnj occurred on board. The captain la ac compa:id by his wife and child and remained on board hi vessel after ar riving In lh harbor, . jt. The Women's Christian Temperance I'nlon, five carloads strong, left the A. j & C. depot for Sessile yesterday morn- j Ing. where big and little spent the dny In disporting themselves on the beach. A large number arrayed themselves In bathing suits and plunged Into the rolling surges of the ocean. Others. more timid than the swimmers, dis carded shoes and stockings and waded I where the water wasn't deep. The j children were always more venture some than the adults, and would risk i the billows to their knees where the older folk would run screaming from the smallest of the chasing waves. The multitude of lunch baskets was the leading feature of the outing. Twelve o'clock sharp found the excursionists divided Into countless clans, and scat tered at random along the far reaching strand of the sea. The salt breexes of old ocean proved an appetiser of no mean renown, for everyone acknowl edged getting full, despite the pledge which typifies the purport of the or der. Games galore, with smack and gusto In them, served as an endless source of pleasure to the small ones. At 4 o'clock the whistle summoned all to the station, when the train was boarded and the merry company whirl ed speedily to the city. The picnic was a-iven under the direct supervision of Rev. Mr. Hollingshead, who spared no efforts toward making the occasion one to be well remembered by all who patronised it GUN TEST AT FORT STEVEN'S. Three of the Big 10-Inch Rifles Fired With Satisfactory Result Three of the 10-Inch disappearing guns mounted at Ft. Stevens were tested yesterday. The test was made under the supervision of Captain Clark, of the ordnance department, U. S. A., who Is visiting the Pacific coast on a special detail for technical examination and official report as to the complete ness and efficiency of all the new bat teries located along this coast. Every thing connected with the mechanism and ammunition for the guns was care fully scrutinized and measured before the firing took place. Captain Clark expressed the hlghist satisfaction with the guns, the day was perfect and the test was successful In every respect. Thise Immense guns are of the lat est pattern. They weigh many tons each, and yet the machinery provided for their elevation and descent worked with an ease and precision that was marvelous to behold. The projectile used was a solid conical shot, weighing nearly 8o9 pounds. Two of the guns were fired at a range of five and a half miles over the open water. The screaming noise made by the projectile In Its course through the air at a speed exceeding a mile In four seconds was peculiar and terrifying. At the point of Impact with the ocean a column of water spoutd Into the air several hun dred feet. Commander Patterson aimed the guns and controlled the firing squad He greatly distinguished himself In the last Phot fired, which differed from the others In being aimed at a fixed target. The extreme detached end of the old piling over the Jetty constituted the target. The range finder showed the point to be somethU'g over three and a half miles from the gun. Bets were freely made that It would not be hit. as there was not sufficient time to exactly calculate the distance. Com mander Patterson was also somewhat hurried by the near approach of the tug Wallulua, with an outward bound ship In tow. Sergeant Beardsley was mounted on the parapet with a trannlt to observe the course and striking posl tlon of each shot. When the smoke cleared away from the last gun the transit showed that the bunch of piles had been fairly struck, one of them being broken and carried away. This was considered remarkable practice by experts present, especially as the gun had never befti aimed or fired before. I It a ship Instead of a bunch ot piles had served aa the target sht would j have been sunk by the shot Captain Clark Is watting (he receipt of a sufficient quantity of special powder required to complete his tests at Ft. Stevens by firing the new steel mortars. When this la received and the mortars are tested, he will leave for Puget sound, where he has bee or dered In connection with the mounting of certain Urge guns lately sent there, but which are not yet In position In) the fortification. Another satisfactory Incident of the j test at Ft. Stevens was the fact that ' no damage was apparent from th heavy tiring to the ponderous walls or chambers of the concrete emplacement. Not the slightest crack or tendency to scaling was observed at any point of the structure. INDIAN RAID ON ASTORIA. A Hand of Retlaklns From the Wlllam-: ette Valley Attempted to Annlhl- ! late a Comp my of Pal Faces. j There was m desperate battle waged 1 on the hills south ot the city yester-' day. Th In ltan tribe, known as the J Chemawaa. vho hunting ground are In the valleys to the southeast, have ' for some time threatened th whites j under the leadership of Capt. Koa, and I on Tuesday sent a band ot their moat ! ferocious warriors to an attack which i report says was deliberately Intended. I Learning of the uropoaed onslaught i and probable point ot ambush, Captain Roaa with his men, and the usual hangers-on who follow In the wake of 1 trouble, repaired to the A. F. t ' grounds where the savages were found ' encamped and apparently awaiting hostilities. Defore the fact could ser Inualy be realised, the opposing force had -narshalod for the fray, and with clubs and projectiles were flgthlng at 1 their fiercest. The scene was shifted from all sent- j blance of barbarism however, when a small boy yelled "fnul" and said that Williams couldn't hit a flock of bums, j Captuln Ross himself explained that the engagement was a gam of base- ! ball, and that the Astorian were In structing the re-lsklns In th Intricacies of the great natlonil pastime. "With a little more practice." said Captain Ross, "these rustics can be taught to put up a fairly Interesting contest." The batteries were Crosby and Olr ard for the home team, and Reagan, Graham and Teabo for the visitors, Mitchell In center and Fletcher In rtgnt field proved the stars of tha local nine, each nabbing files and daisy-cutters In a way to tax one's credulity as to the possibilities of modern athletics. N. Grant acted as unmlre and escaped with his life. Following Is the score: I I I U 11 i I Chemawa's ..0 0 1 t 0 i 0 1 0-4 A. F. C.'s .... 3 0 0 9 0 0 J 1-1 NEW 8WIMMINO RECORD.
