Astoria, Or., Aug. 10. There is a
strong prospect of a lively fight at an
early date over the so-called "flues"
exacted monthly from the keepers of
gambling houses in consideration of
immunity from police interference.
For the past two years, each house in
which games of chance, such as
"oraps," roulette, faro and the like,
are conducted has paid the city month
ly the sum of $50, but since the open
ing here of a large saloon and sporting
house, those of the gamblers who have
only sufficient money to make a show
ing in a single bank-roll have become
dissatisfied, because of the fact tbat the
more wealthy of their class run as high
as five or six games and they pay no
more for the privilege than do those
who conduct a single "crap" table. It
is likely that at the next meeting of the

I he contest case has been on trial
two weeks. It was at its commence
ment that it was discovered tbat the
vote of four preoincts, that gave ma
jorities for Orr, had been stolen from
the oity vaults. The court, however,
went ahead with the count of the other
ballots, taking the figures of the miss
ing ballots from the returns.
The undisputed ballots gave Orr
2,620 and Fawcett 2,590 votes, includ
ing the four Btolen precincts, the official
returns of which were counted. Four
disputed votes which were oounted for

Shortly after the weather moderated
and the wind oontinuiug, they proceed

the Norwegian bark Cito, from Quebec
for Pembroke, and were supplied with
water and provisions, and again when

The Natives a Trifle Too l'olite for

Elizabeth Koblns lVnnell writes of
"Tho Lights and Shadows of the Al
hambru" lu tlu CYtmiry. She thus tie
sitUh'S her cxiu'rioiuvs in u Spanish
hotel near the Alhuiulira:
Tho breakfast hour, however, varied
nci'ordlng to eaeh one's fancy. It was
only nt dinner that all the boarders sat
down together. Generally we were not
more than six or eight to gather round
the lamp-lit table, ami J. and 1 were
tho only foreigners. The others were
natives of tiranada who had left Its
heated streets for the cool grove, or
elso Aiulaltisians from near towns tak
ing n short holiday. They were, if any
thing, too friendly; for, though our
conversation with many was limited
to "ltttenus dias" and "Hueniis tardea,"
this und n bow were expected every
time we met. To us, of u less polite
race, It became something of a nuis
ance. With a few friendliness went
further, especially with an amiable and
pious family from Cadiz, who were our
neighbor at table fur u fortnight. The
mother and two daughters were ulways
veiled in their mantillas, if by chance
we saw them In the morning on their
wuy to or from mass. Hut they were
never without smiles for us, and the
father spoke some Knglish. I le was so
extremely civil at all times that we
were the more surprised one evening
w hen he lost his temper outright.
,-I like everything in your country
except your wine," ,1. told him, in an
swer to a lending question; for we
never could get used to the vile flavor
of pigskin.
Ho turned upon us In n fury. "What!
not like my wine? Hut It Is good -the
best. 1 send It utmost all to Kngland."
The trouble was, he was a wine mer
chant, and he could not be convinced'
that. I. meant nothing personal until we
had kept awake the long evening with
him over n bottle of his sherry.
Then we had n bride and gi-oom from
Mulugn, ami the groom also spoke
jKiigllsh. He told us they had come that
Ithey might, dining their honeymoon,

In tho hotel. From the beginniii;, of
dinner to the end one of the little y'rla
proiu Cadiz would keep up a ceaseless
:,'iHtnnil prattle. Those occasional man
dolins would rouse the bride Into a
flutter of excitement; It was n song of
Malaga they were playing, she would
then lean over to explain. Hut their
tranquil gaiety never Jarred; It seemed
ns much a part of the summer silence
us the chanting of the crickets iu the,
grove.
The arrival of the Marchioness was
tho first shock that shook us out of our
slumbers. She lived In Granada; two
of her children had whooping-cough,
and she had chosen the hotel ns a pleas
ant hospital for them. I never knew
any one to pervade a, place ns she did.
If we went to sit In the rocking-chairs-In
front, there she wns with her whoop
ing babies; If we hurried Imck Into the
hall, she was at our li(iel: and
could not retreat Into the dull, gloomy,
uninviting sitting-room that she and
her nursery, whooping and yelling, did
not follow. This was bad enough, but
what mattered more was Hint she turn
ed our peaceful garden Into a sick
room, and our dinner Into u public re
ception. By the second course one
child or the other always began to
whoop, and bud to be curried awny,
purple and choking; by the third there
was a great cluttering of liorse-boofs In
the road below the terrace, mid the
Marquis would pull up his horse, mid
the Marchioness would rush to lean
over the balustrade and give him her
harsh, voluble report; lie wiih afraid. It
seemed, of the contagion which he had
passed on to us so cheerfully. By the
fourth a party of friends would troop
Into the garden and young Indies and
priests and expansive dowagers would
make a circle round the table, and
watch us as we ate. I suppose It would
have been a dreadful breach of Spanish
etiquette bud they been asked to dine,
or, If asked, bnd they accepted! It was
detestable. The whole atmosphere,
the whole feeling, of the hotel and Its
gardens wa changed. Hut the other
Spanish did not like It a bit better. Ev
erybody grumbled, everybody com
plained, and with heroic effort the
manager got tip enough energy to tell
the Marchioness she must go. and we
all dozed back Into our accustomed
baok in the First National bank, there
was 1741.45 wholly unaccounted for.
The experts further said the accounts
were so badly oonfused and the meth

to be rewritten for the period of tho
