W., last evening with a basket social A most enjoyable time was spent by the large number in attendance. An entertainment was given by Sam po Union at Hanthorn's hall last night.

Yesterday afternoon Judge Gray filled out an application for James Flnley, a veteran soldier who seeks admission to the Soldiers' Home at Roseburg. Mr. Flnley served his country in the Ninth Pennsylvania cavalry from November, 1861, to July, 1865. The fact that Superintendent Mc Oulre reports yesterday as the first day of the season when he has had any leisure time at his disposal, speaks well for A. & C. R. R. traffic. The business of the road Is Increasing right along, and It Is expected soon to Increase the office force. Owing to the fact that the guns at Fort Canhy are of an old type, the au thorities have decided to have the soldiers stationed at that fort prac tice with the modern weapons at Fort Stevens. Ten men at a time will go to the latter cost and perfect them selves in the use of the long-range cannon. A meeting of the board of school directors was to have been held yes terday evening to appoint successors to Mrs. Ross and Miss Dunham and to make the assignment of teachers for the coming season.

The steamer Thompson is due today l.k Ik. .1.1. 1 - J m n ... . with the ship Standard from Portland, If she succeeds in getting down she will go back tomjrrow with a double tow -the British ship Powys Castle and "'"l1 UK Diuiiuiuu loaded lumber at the Northern Pacific lumber mills at Portland, and at last accounts was stuck in the mud at the mouth of the Willamette. The Oregonlan blames the men in charge of the dredger Ladd for forcing the Standard aground. Along the wa ter front yesterday the Oregonian's peculiar position was the subject of much comment, and it was generally remarked it was a poor channel that will not permit one craft to pass an other without one of them finding some place where the bottom was too close to the top. Private Mitchell, of the hospital corps at Ft Stevens, left yesterday for Vancouver barracks to take the pre llmlnary examination for a commis sion. Private Mitchell is better known as Reverend Mitchell, as he took up ministerial work in addition to his military duties several years ago. The host of friends he haa won In his new field, as well as his soldier comrades, all wish him success and believe that he will attain It. George B. Damphofter, of the Six- teenth Infantry, who is under sentence of death at Manila for assault com mitted on Filipino women, Is a native of Vancouver, where his father owns a brewery. He was with the Sixteenth In Cuba, where he was wounded, and after recovering from his wound re joined his regiment and went to the Philippines. His father has invoked the aid of Senator Simon In securing a commutation of the sentence. A great many hop wagons were In from Nehalem yesterday. The hop season Is In full blast in that section and farmers yesterday were anxiously Inquiring for extra hands. Girls as well as boys will be given employment In the hop yards, but so far as could be learned none were secured In As toria. Astorlans who are In the habit of engaging in hop picking prefer to go to the Willamette valley and the Washington hop yards, where the sea son usually lasts longer. The Astoria Box Company is over crowded with orders for box material. There Is a great demand for box snooks n California for use In the fruit pack ing industry. The Astoria mills are pressed to the limit to fill these orders and ship large consignments on every outgoing San Francisco steamer. The fruit crop In California this season Is above the average and has so stimu lated the demand for shooks that local mills have trouble In filling their or ders and are compelled to run day' and night ...... . , .- A private dispatch received In this city last night conveys the pleasing information that Lieutenant Bethel, the commanding officer at Fort Stevens, defeated Ooss, Portland's crack tennis player, in the finals at the Arlington club tournament In Portland yester day. Lieut. Bethel won three straight games, and beat Goss easily. The Portlanders were of the- opinion that Franslola, the Tacoma champion, would be In the finals with Lieut, Bethel, and showed a disposition to claim the latter as one of their own players, but since the Tacoma man was shut out, and Goss, the Multno mah champion, was the last man to try conclusions with the popular young officer, It Is difficult to say what the lortlanders will claim now. Lieut. Bethel, It may . be mentioned, Is a members of the Ten for Ten Club of this city. The latest reports yesterday evening from the American ship Standard were that she was still stuck fast at the mouth of the Willamette. The Stand ard left Portland Friday morning, In tow of the steamer Thompson, and Is lumber laden for Australia. She is a small ship and It was expected that she could be towsd down from Port land without grounding on any of the numerous shoals on the upper river, However, her detention only serves as another example that the work of the government dredger Ladd In re moving the sand bars from the mouth of the Willamette Is unsuccessful, The Standard will likely remain stuck until a freshet floats her oft. Her ex. perlence Is similar to that of nearly every other ship which attempts to come down the river at this time of the year. Yesterday was the forty-ninth anni versary of William Chance's residence In Astoria. Mr. Chance Is one of the early pioneers of Oregon, first remov ing from Putnam county, 111., to Ore gon City in a prairie schooner. He came from Oregon City to Astoria In a canoe, the trip occupying two days and nights. He did not settle here at the time but came for the purpose of receiving a letter from a young lady friend. Astoria was the only town in Oregon in those days where a govern ment post office was established. Mr. Chance was disappointed In his er rand and started to return to Oregon City the next day. The return trip occupied three days and nights, dur ing which the blankets that he had with him were used as a sail in hasten ing his homeward Journey. There were no towns along the river then, Mr. Chance says, and only a few Indian huts could be seen along the banks, Mr. Chance landed In Astoria again on june ii, nw. He was then Indian agent for the Coqullle district and came from Port Orford on the steamer Columbia, having in charge 710 Indians for the Slleti reservation. On Decern- her 6, 1818, he settled permanently in I . Astoria and has remained here ever since, with the exception of two visits he has made to California, Tn. Alnjlka. CTuhurmon'. Dunlin. company has already shipped over the A. & C. railroad about 8,000 cases of salmon of the Alaska pack. This amounts to only about one-third of the pack. The entire pack Is sold, how ever, and the remainder of It will be shipped to its destination in a short time. The company had many difficul ties to contend with last summer and the pack next year will be largely In creased. The company have ample facilities to put up a large pack in Alaska and will make extensive prep arations for next season. The Alaska outlook for next season Is brighter than ever and the majority of the fishermen engaged last year are anx ious to go north again. The men av eraged about 1300 each for this sum mer's work and have made application to go north again. An outlay of about $30,000 is necessary every year to send the outfit and fishermen to Bristol bay, every penny of which' is spent among the businessmen and merchants of this city. L'nlooked for opposition has been met with from the Sun Francisco concerns operating canneries in Alns ka to the Astoria venture, but more extensive preparations will neverthe- ! ,ess mBl,e for next l8on- Although the officers of the company are not yet ready to speak on the subject, It Is understood that about double the pack of this year will be put up hereafter and brought to this city for shipment. D.V GUT ANG-LEESH? How One of Uncle Sam's Soldiers Taught a Church Dignitary to Speak English. An incident showing the desire to know things American which the peo ple of our new possessions have was related recently to an Astorlan repre sentative by a soldier who took part In the Santiago campaign in Cuba. "I had run off to Santiago to see the city and try to get something partly fit for my fever-stricken comrades to eat and having an hour or two in the afternoon with nothing else to do but take In the sights, I wandered about the plaza, constituting the square around which the San, Carlos Club, the governor's palace, the Venus. Cafe and the venerable cathedral are placed. After going through the San Carlos Club and being lucky enough to find a New York Herald only ten days old. I went over to the cathedral. Its ex terior is not exactly beautiful as It looks as though it had passed through a siege of the smallpox, thus resem bling most of the InhabltMita of the city "The building was closed and I had about decided that I would not get to see the Interior, when an old bat tered Cuban limped Into the favored enclosure surrounding the edifice and coming up to me took off his tattered old Panama hat, made a low bow and said: " 'Americano!' I told him I was, and asked him by signs if I could get Into the cathedral. He said: 'Si Senor,' and pointing, to the tower said, 'bell ring, tree clock,' watching me the while to see If I caught on. Being encouraged, he proceeded to exercise his 'American' on me. 'Church, old' holding up four fingers 'cen-to-rees, Colunibus he build. Da gut America no?" I told him It was and he tried some more on me, carefully weighing each syllable and watching for new words when I spoke. "He finally took me around to the other side where a young priest was just unlocking a small door and bow ing profusely, Introduced me, as I suppose, because the padre Immediate ly appropriated me as a tutor In Eng lish, and proceeded to tell me some very astonishing things, as he showed me through the solemn corridors and avenues, all In bad but ambitious 'Ang-leesh.' Presently a very stately old man come In, wearing the robes of the priesthood, and after saying a few words to the padre he took me in hand and used me much the same as the other two. He Informed me that he had 'study the Eng-llsh lang wldge. Da-gut-English, You Cath-o-llck?' he asked me. I said, not 'You Protes-tant?' again the same answer. He was prmled for an Instant, and then with a broad smile, preceeded by a twinkle In his eye, he said: 'You what-call In-fl-del?' When he saw that he had guessed It he laughed a hearty guffaw that made the echoes ring. "I subsequently discovered that my last companion was the archbishop of Santiago, who has since been ap pointed by the Holy See to arrange the ecclesiastical matter of our new bonds. Yet only a few weeks before his appointment he had asked the gov ernor general of the Island for 10,000 troop to land on the coast of Florida and march through the states and take Washington. I think he had changed his mind as to the power of the United States In the meantime and saw that he would have to get in to tha 'push.
