' ...... Darkness at last brought relief to the tired admiral, wlio had stood on the bridge tor six hours, bowing his ack nowledgement to the stentorian ex pression of homage. New Yoi k had never witnessed before anything approaching this wonderful, remarkable demon stration. The Columbian naval parade, ' , the dedication of Grant's tomb and the ' reception of the North Atlantic squad- ron last fall, all pale before this gt gantlc ovation to a sailor, who. In a jingle morning destroyed the enemy' i fleet without the lose of a man or a ship. It ts not beyond the mark to say that three million people viewed the , . pageant from ashore and that a quarter of a million were afloat - The otDcer of the fleet did not wear i their showy uniforms, but were at- tired In "special undress 'A' " as It Is technically known in the navy. There were no gold epauleu, no gold bound beavers and clattering swords aboard. This was the admiral's order and added but another to the many evidences of his unique modesty. The brother and widow of Captain Grldley, who fought in the Olympla In Manila bay, and Colonel Bartlett, with three newspaper, men, were the only-civilians aboard. Just as the signal to weigh anchors halyard nuiynras was given, a pull on the spread the four-starred flag, which Ad-, we were unaware of. He says. In ef mlral Farragut flew as he ran the fort feet, that the Chinaman likes the Amer- in New Orleans. It was the flag which ,can and hls Kds better than any oth" . . . j , , . er oulnlde nation, but at the same time broke, the sailors at their stations and the marines on the quarter deck, greet- ed it with a hip, hip hooray we got ! from our ancestors. The flag float' ea proudly an mrougn me pageani io- day. It Is the most precious possession of Farrugut's pupil and when It Is struck on Monday, It will probably be forever, as it Is altogether unlikely that Admiral Dewey will-ever command another fleet Admiral Dewey went on the bridge as' soon as the start was made and remain- j ed there throughout the parade. The, admiral paid close attention throughout! the. Journey to everything which trans- j plred on the board the vessel. Several; times he ordered the crew to stand byj to cheer In some extraordinary dem-j onstratlon. It was not until all the warships had passed In review before the Olympla that an Incident occurred which showed that, with all his geniality, the hero of Manila could also be a very stern sailor. A strewn of signal flog ordered the vemi'rls of the f)et to dress ship. The order was beautifully executed ex- ' oept aboard the flagnhlp, where the , Ruling ot a una in the top or one or the stacks caused a delay. Admiral Dewey Instantly roared out a command for some one to ease the line. It fouled again and a sailor waa sent aloft to clear It Tbe admiral waa plainly dis pleased. He sent for tbe officer under whose direction the order waa exe cuted and called blm upon the bridge. "I am ashamed of this," he said "and I am ashamed of you." THE TRANSPORT SERVICE FROM THE COLUMBIA. Probability It Will be Increased and t Astoria Should Move for a Share of it The sailing of the Thirty-fifth regi ment on the Rio de Janeiro and Blkh la of more than passing Interest to Aator lana. It Is the general feeling among observing men that the assignment of these transports and the Lennox, which la also to load at Portland with mules for the Philippine, la but the har binger of a large share of the govern ment Philippine business that the Co lumbia river will secure. A telegram from Washington states U U aore thaa probable that the wU1 al bom Portland, and alnce th vmment started to use this every reason for It to Uncle Sam has now a transnorts Divine be- ----- mou"1' mnd Columbia rlver baa VT "'' to expect a big share of the shipping. So far, apparently, tbe arrival and departure of these transports Is ot no siuuiiut llalna .-k. A nt.iwi mm ikao JIa wine even stop here; but all the new. bus! nee Portland gets into tbe Columbia cannot hurt Astoria and when As torians learn as Portlanders have, how to make politics a business weapon, Astoria will get all of the ocean com merce that Is due her, and the more there la the better off she will be. Tbe Thlrty-dftb, which sails on the Rio de Janeiro and Sikh, la a Pacific coast regiment organized at Van couver barracks. The regiment was in spected Thursday by Lieutenant Col- 'MM assistant Inspector general of the department of the Columbia, and. pre8ented 8piendtc1 appearance. The general health of the men Is very good. The efforts of Astorians to have Fort 8teven made neraJ rendeivous tor. soldiers are being seconded by climatic at tne gan Franclgc0 pre. sldlo, ot the 6,500 soldiers now there 8 per cent are on the sick list and it is expected that pulmonary troubles will Increase as the season advances. Such a state ot affairs ought to make it easy for Astorians to get the bc qulesent attention of the war depart ment. CHINA AS A FUTURE MARKET. 'China U going to be our best Far Eastern market within a quarter of a century," said Arthur More, a Chi- cago machinery manufacturer to a New York Tribune reporter recently. "The house I am connected with has had a salesman In China for the last six months studying up the situation. . . ., , i iwnnrtu a mimttr nt ei.n.l tl.vns that i he thinks well have to fight for what, we get He speaks In the highest terms of the business Integrity of the Chinese.

Arthus's column bos returned to An geles, where General MacArthur, Wheaton and Wheeler have established their headquarters with 1,000 troop. It is expected they will remain there until a general advance la ordered. The Spanish commissioners, who re cently spent a month at Tarlao, ar rived at Angle today. They will pro ceed to the Filipino lines. The com missioners say they are confident they will arrange for the deliverance of ail the Spanish prisoners. Lieutenant How land, ot General Wbeaton's staff, has) visited the Filipino outposts, presum ably to notify them that the Spanish commissioner were coming.

HeUeo, president of the Great Northern, is the other. The similarity of th name ot the two roads has led to sum confusion in the public mind as to which ia which. In a somewhat un certain way the Northern Pacific has been supoeed to be to Tacoma wbat the Great Northern is to Seattle. Re- ' cently the Northern Pacific has been buying lota on the Seattle city front, and thereby haa Inspired the Great Northern's president to remark that if Seattle sold another inch of her water front he would remove his terminals elsewhere. Seattle is somewhat disturbed at the menace uf King Hill to remove bis ter minals elsewhere, and has appealed to King Mellen to know what he would do li. the way of recjmpense If the threat--"' should be carried into execuUoo. To this appeal King Mellen responded that what he proposed to do would be tor tbe benefit ot Seattle, and that it was no concern, of lis what bis competitor might do nr threaten to do. The rail road king seem to think that ' these " Northern clUes are not large enough for two roads, and the cities do not feel strong enough to offer equal chances to both and to let the one go that cannot stand competition. The probable outcome ts indicated In the following paragraph In the Seattle Times: . "The next strong piece of news that will be heard concerning this matter will be to '.he effect that the Great Northern and the Northern PaclSo companies have 'gotten together" in New York and 'fixed up' an entirely amicable and equitable arrangement concerning the union depot matter." This entirely amicable and equitable !, j. arrangement concerning the union ae- " pot mailer win ay-uueso muiuuc agreement as to rates. So far as the public is concerned the roads will be one. The advantages the northern, country has enjoyed through railroad competition will be sacrificed tct the ad vantage of the roads. There will be two roads In place of one, but there will be but one schedule of rates. It is always the most promising young man that gets into debt.
