Or egonlan Building, last evening, did openly declare Itself as Indorsing those Demo oratlc officials in their recent actions. There was Just the faintest whisper that ihe Sheriff and the District Attorney had not always acted in harmony, but not a breath of it got into the Indorsing reso lution 88 printed above. No matter what they've done, the Sher iff and the District Attorney stand vindi cated. For the 15 Democrats present at the meeting extended the paternal hand of encouragement and said, "Go ahead." Some, however, there were who thought ihls an inopportune time to "bring up the subject of indorsing the two officials who can see their names In print most any old day. And they said, "No," and they stuck to it, for the resolution passed by a small majority. E. C. Van Armltage was the man to , Introduce the original resolution, which mentioned the two officials by name. At once' the faithful 15 let the world know thoy were Democrats, but a red-hot dis cussion began. Some thought there wasn't any indorsement coming to Mr. Manning at all; others held that Mr. Word had perhaps been slightly well, or-r. um! "What position the local branch of Dem ocracy should take to win out in June was interpolated into the debate. "The best thing to do Is to keep out st the gambling question," said T. N. McGovern. 'The Mitchell people have got themselves in a had mix over the Tanner-Creek sewer, and we'll work on that." A. L.

Mr. Morula did not explain what kind ol "pulP-he referred -to.'- At the close of the meeting a vote of j thanks was tendered t6 the only person 1 present who had not said one word. He was a reporter.

Mr. Ballard, backed by ample capital, submitted a flattering offer for a year's lease on the property which, after some discusslonr was .accepted, and the transfer will be made after to night's performance. Manager Ballard announces that tho policy ot tho theater will remain, un changed. The personnel of the com pany will remain the same and no changes' will be made among the other employes. The prices of admission will remain the same, 'and high-clasa stock productions will continue to be given with a weekly change of bill. All relations between Messrs. Hellig, Baker, Blazier and Ballard are tho most pleasant, and while Mr. Ballard will have sole control of the Columbia, the other gentlemon relinquishing -all part in its direction, tho relations are most amicable -and there will In no sense be anything approaching the atrical war. This action sets at rest all rumors that the Columbia stock season was to end shcrtly. It assures the continu ance ot the best organization of Its kind, which Portland ever had and will be gladly received by the theater-going public. The company has thus far enjoyed a very prosperous season. Its work has delighted its patrons and the splendid organization is a source of much local pride. Mr. Ballard, who assumes charge, has been connected with tho enterprise-In an advisory capacity from Its Inception. He" has also had charge of its publicity work, and his energetic methods of advertising the theater and company have contribut ed largely to its success. He enjoys the friendship and confidence of each member of the company and operating staff, from Director Bernard down to the ushers. He has an intimate knowledge of the affairs of -the theater, and although this Is his first managerial venture, he begins his new career well equipped for the work. The new manager has been a resident of Portland for seven years. He Is the senior member of the advertising Arm of Ballard & Snow, and one of the owners of ''The Guide and Town Topics." He came here from San Francisco, where he was engaged in newspaper work. His newspaper career has extended over 20 odd years, and includes experience on tho papers of London, New York and San Francisco. He is 43 years old. and a Cornell man, class of '7S. He is known as a forcible and discriminating writer of dramatic and art criticism, and most of his work has-been done In those channels. He has a large Portland acquaintance, and his acquirement of the Columbia will meet with general approval. All the signs seem right for a brilliant future for tho new manager. He acquires one of the finest theaters on the Coast, and one of the best stock companies In the United States.- General satisfaction will bo felt that the lattcr's permanence is assured. CAPTAIN IS ALSO DOW. Master of Ellerlc Is Atacked by Smallpox. ASTORIA. Or., Dec. 2. (Special.) Quarantine Officer Earl stated this even ing that Captain McLeod, of the British steam Elleric, has a very, severe attack of smallpox. The disease Is now well developed, so there Is no doubt of Its na ture. No one on the steamer, excepting the captain and the Chinese fireman, has been taken III as yet, but other cases are expected. As there Is no hospital at the quarantine station, two old and vacant houses on the Government property have been utilized and" one or the patients is in each, so that they can bo isolated from the rest of the crew. There are, however, no other buildings that can be used, and should any more cases develop, they must be treated on board the vessel. The staamer was fumigated today and the members of the crew vaccinated. Dr. Bari received a request today from British Consul Laldlaw asking that tho Ellerlc be released as. soon as possible and a new crew will be sent to take charge of her. The doctor says thl3 may bo possible after two weeks have elapsed, provided no new cases develop, but In that event she may be detained for soma time longer, owing to .the lack of accom modations at the station.

CATCH OF SEALERS. lyictbria Fleet Credited With 13,905 Skins. . "VICTORIA, B. C, Dec. 2. Until after the annual Fall fur sales havo taken place in London. December 16, nothing will be done towards outfitting the Vic toria aealing fleet for next season's oper ations, and then it is altogether prob able that hunting will be entirely con fined to the American coast as far north as the Aleutian Islands and to Behrlng Sea. Upon thff prices realized at the com ing sales will depend the number of the fleet to go out. At the annual meeting of the sealing combine the scene of hunt ing operations during 1905 will be finally decided upon. During the past year no schooners were sent to the Japanese coast and but few to the Copper Islands, for fear of collision with the Russian or the Japanese fleet. This danger has been vir tually eliminated. Although there aro still five of the ISOi fleet out. It Is now possible to give a fairly clo?e approximation of the catch of the Victoria pelagic sealing vessels for the current year. From reports received of the catches of the vessels still out, and allowing 1000 as representing the ag gregate of the catches of the Indians along tho coast, tho total return for the season Is placed at 13,505 skins. This Is the smallest catch In many years, the reason being In great measure the small ness of the fleet operating. Twenty-sfx schooners sent out in 1P03 secured, with "shore" and Cape Horn catches added, 20.470 pelts. In 1902 the number of. skins taken was 16,301: -in 1901 the total was 24,160 skins; In 1900, 35,543; and in 1899, 35,471. Old Ship' Partly Burned. - OAKLAND, Cal., Dec -2.
