Weather Prophet Johnson found it Impossible to hold the rain off longer than yesterday. Early In the morning It began showering, and continued with but slight Interruption throughout the day. Mr. Johnson will be dealt leniently with however, Inasmuch as he accommodated the regatta commit tee on Tuesday and Wednesday. The track of the A. ft C. railroad has been completed to New Astoria, the extension covering a distance of two and a half miles. Tbe track la not yet ballasted, but It Is expected that regular trains will be running before this work Is done.

' Master Willie Cole, whom every body knows and esteems for his cour- J teous demeanor, has been given charge of the Astorian's young army of route boys, and will henceforth direct their efforts In the hustling vocation they follow. That Willie will acquit himself to the satisfaction of patrons and the glory of himself well goes niih saying. The steamer Orange Branch arrived down yesterday lumber laden from Portland. Part of the cargo was taken on board at the Ranler mill. The Orange Branch Is fully laden and car ries nearly 3,000.000 feet, one of the larsest cargoes of lumber that ever left the Columbia river. She Is bound for the Orient and will leave out today, weather permitting. About 32 men are at work on the foundation of the government barracks at Fort Stevens. The foundation is of brick and will require over three weeks for completion. About 50 men will be employed on the main work when It is commenced. The A. ft C. railroad track is now being rapidly extended to the fort and the laving of the rails i inside of the reservation will begin shortly. The Columbia, which will leave this port for San Francisco this morning, will have aboard the large majority of the California oarsmen. The boys left in a body for Portland yesterday to estimate relatively the importance of the biff Willamette village with the hustling metropolis of their own state. It is neurBa iu mi mr j and magnltule of Oregon's leading city must ha-e proved a revelation to j many of them. A special meeting of the council was held at 7:20 last evening for the pur pose of adopting a resolution for the Improvement of Seventieth sU-xi be tween Franklin and Irving avenues. All the coiricllmen -were present ex cepting Brlx and Parker. Mayor Berg man presided. A petition was rad j from the prprty holders or the dis trict referred to asking that the Im provement be made. The rwAMtlon was adopted ir.nnlnv.unly, and the council adjourned.

Th California crews were in force at Portland yesterday to witness th single scull contest between Pat ton. the northwest crack, and Dennis, the San Francis.-1 champion. It will W remembered that in the Wdnesday event, th two men were terminating what prjmlsed to be an even finish when Dennis was driven foul of th course. He entered a protest In con sequence, and Patton very generously agreed to meet him In a "pull-off" on the Willamette. The race was to hav taken place yesterday afternoon. There were three United States government boats that participated In the land and water carnival, namely; the Columbine, the Manxanlta and the Electric. The commanders of both th Columbine and Msnianlta are drv Ing of exceptional praise for the cour teous treatment they accorded the press. Both gentlemen are large-mind-ed. hospitable and alive to their duties, and of a calibre to win respect and ad miration In whatever station may be fall them. They are of the quality the newspaper profession take delight In popularizing. Next to the Astorlan, It la only fair to say that the evening dallies pub lished very creditable accounts of the regatta. The reportorlal race between the Budget and the News was one of the Interesting features of the carnival. It was a double scull contest, with first Tenth and then Commercial street alternately In lead. The Budget gained a slight advantage at the outset In a series of pictures that gave It a stroke unlocked for by Its contemporary, but the News quickly recovered through a succession of reputable spurts at the finish. The rivals In each Instance art bright and capable, and gave the pub lic an excellent run for Its patronage. Mr. Whipple, proprietor of th Palace restaurant served between 10 and 13 thousand meals during the three day of the regatta. The meals, too, were an equal attraction with the carnival. Whether Mr. Whipple cleared money on his large patronage Is not stated; the facts are that regardless of the income, he resolved to give Astoria a reputation for restaurants that would reach tip and down the coast as far aa the visitors traveled. In conse quence, the best of porterhouse and tenderloin steaks were served aa sir loins, and many extra dainties In the way of pastries were placed- before the guests and the charges cancelled. The people were pleased. The comments on the Palace menu were as profuse and favorable as any which were passed on the beauty of the regatta. THE M'DL'FF'8 EXPERIENCE. Terrible Cy;bae encountered After Leaving Calcutta Kind Treat ment From the Warren. Close the eyes and look in fancy at a storm-tossed sea, the mounting bil lows foam-capped and ravenous for plunder, a sky low-reaching and lurid with speeding fragments of cloud. A still closer Inspection discerns a small bark, Its sails tight-reefed, dipping, plunging, racing, neck and neck, with the tireless white-horses of the deep. A screaming wind plays uncanny music in the rigging, and men are fore and aft pouring oil to quiet the pitching waters. It Is a cyclone, and Captain Huelin, who Is directly In Its course, fears the McDuff will succumb to Its fury. Within an hour, however, there falls a dead calm. The tempest blows ItBelf Into the northwest, and the crew cheers again and again and yet again that the staunch little craft has weath ered the gale. Captain Hueltn Is a small man with a thick, black growth of whiskers, a ruddy complexion and a nerve of steel, He sat In a reclining ' chair yester day, and smoked complacently at a havana, while he loid the reporter the story of his long voyage.' "I left Calcutta on February 8th," be sal-1, "loaded with gunnies for delivery at Portland. Besides myself and wife and little boy, I had a crew of ID men, all of whom were robust, experienced and eager for the Journey. The first day out from the Hoogly river, I dls covered a stoaway on board, a very bright young fellow who had gotten stranded In that country and wanted to make the States. I was as mad as a March hare on finding him, and threatened to feed him to the sharks, but his penitent look reconciled me, and naturally, I gave In and charitably lilrn a member of the family. "We were forty days out when the terrible cyclone struck us. During my twenty-four years on trie ocean, I don't believe I ever encountered storm quite so violent While we used oil In abundance to still the waters, It looked questionable for a time whether we would survive It, and when .the vessel shipped a great quantity of water, some of ths men gav up hop and so expressed themselves. Hut In all the blast there wasn't a rope brok en, and on the whole trip, w lost but one Inferior sal). My little boy Charlie, seven years old, was th light of ths ship, and I believe, the bravest. In the heaviest of th galea, he tried valiantly to make the deck and when au unusually large roller would en croach above the gumvalea, h was sure to applaud the monster desplt the danger accompanying it. "Two months after the cyclone, we got Into another tremendous sea. Th sky was as black as Ink and th wind shrieked like an army of demons. In the midst of It, ;her cam a blinding flash of lightening and a crack of thunder that actually lifted th vessel from th water. This storm lasted but a half hour, and thereafter w had th most beautiful of weather. "The only ship w spok on our long and tedious voyage waa the Sierra Ne vada. 7 days out from 8an Francisco, and the only land w saw after leaving British India was PIL-alm Island, east of Australia. The transport Warren which w met a few days ago, treated us magnificently. W were getting pretty hungry on th short rations, when she generously cam to th res cue. Her captain raised th mischief because w sent but on boat for sup plies. "Why don't you send two or three.' he said. 'We'll till every on of them.' The soldiers aboard literally deluged us wl-h tobacco and cigarettes, and sum one it -nust hav been th captaln-ent my wlf a targ bottle of wine and myself a hug bottle of whis key. I tell you. I wanted to live after I saw that. Yes, It was a trylnf trip, ro days longer than It should hav been, but here w are and the Insur- ance people can retire with Joyful splr- its and a plethoric purse." Captain lluelln attribute his delay to p-rslstent headwind off the New Zealand coast and a continuation of easterly gale. The McDuff will be taken up the river today. LAST NIOHT'S CONVERT.

The maiden screamed, and her companion, who claimed to be her sister, broke an umbrella In an effort to drive the fel low away. "She's my girl," he said, "unci she's not going to throw me down. I think (hlc) though, I kissed the wrong one." The girls moved placidly on, while a bystander who observed the performance, says that such Inci dents are of common occurence in shady district PEP.SO.VAL MENTION. C. F.
