TI1K MOUSING ASl'ORlAN. KKIlA., NOV KM NIC It III, U.9Q - r l I During the past few days we have talked exclusively on Men's and Boys' Clothing, and an exceptionally fino lino of Overcoats ; which were placed at prices that drew even the attention and presence of Portlanders to rivo them a trial; and all who purchased are mightily proud of the bargains they realized. Now, We Bflavs Something Else to Say r, t,U& thi3: Ye haT 'n stock a rich and varied assortment of Underwear and Neckwear that in comparison 'a fultv as reasonable to lmv an the nmthlno- ISffll"68 seen t0 be appreciated- Thc' are so'm iwj, 5 w .oil cbSaJ SffiSSSfflS - - UNDERWEAR - - Read the price we are uow making on Swifts goods.

Always heretofore they have been more than cheap at f 2.00. Here is a line of Camel's (lair and National Wool Un derwear at 50 cents per garment. They are excellent for the price asked and are sure to please the purchaser. Many of our best people select them by reason of the soft character of the material. While insjxvting this department, atk also to fee Lot R T-B. Theso are what are known as Ribbed Wool Shirts and Drawers. Wo have decided for a few days only to k-11 them at $2.00 a suit. This is a remarkably low ligure, if you are posted as to values in this direction. And now we are making a still further cut on the justly celebrated Lu zerne Underwear. Think of it! Only $2.50 a suit We have just been selling it at $3.00, but we want the bulk of Astoria's trade and we propose to get it You cannot beat this price nor the goods anywhere on earth. This Week, Wright's Health-Fl eeced Underwear, $2.50 per suit. All who wear underwear will understand that this is an amazingly cheap price for Wright's noted make, They are unexcelled for winter on account of be ing fleece-lined on the inside. In the same connection we have the Famous Arabian Fleeco Underwear. We are also cutting it for the time being to $2.50 per suit.

San Francisco Call. The schooner Vine returned to port yesterday, after an absence of six months in Siberia and Japan. The greater part of the time she was on the Amoor river, only stopping at Hako date on the way home to secure a car go of sulphur. The Vine left here in April last for Nlcolaefskl with a general cargo and had a good run across the Pacific. She as detained some time on the Amoor river discharging her cargo, and then went to Hakodate in ballast to load eulphur for San Francisco. 'Nlcolaefskl is a pretty little harbor, something like Port Townsend." said Captain Small yesterday. "There are Their Prowess nnit Gentnilship In I'iylits With the English. their looks deserved the punishment to which they were condemned by the Russian government. During the trip across the continent some of them es caped, but were eventually rantured. One man had cut off hla right foot at ' the ankle to get rid of the chain and ball, but was given up by the peasant. in whose hut he had taken refuge.

It Is an Island off the mouth of the Amoor river, about 614 mites long, and from 17 to 78 milts broad. It Is covered with low forest clad moun tains, and the climate is probably the severest in the world. There Is an abun dance of coal on the Island. I have no means of Judging, but I should think Russia has about 15,090 convicts there. ''At Nlcolaefskl the fishing industry is very great In the season the Amoor river simply swarms with flsh and salmon are caught by the million. Why, at times it would be possible to alk across the river, the fish being parked close- enough to form a bridge. This Is no 'fish story', as I am telling you what Is an absolute fact At times the salmon are so racked in the river that they can get neither one way nor the other, and all the fishermen have to do is to scoop them out of the water, FAIR WORDS FOR RIG EARS. A Kansas City Judge, after studying the features of a boy who was before him the other day on a charge of as- American Review. It Is usual, I know, for military men to sneer at the generalship, or want of It, which, as they allege, was respon. slble for the Majuba disaster these critics are wise after the event. It Is forgotten that the Boers met other of ficers than" General Colly at Bronkhorst Spruit In a number of fight about Pretoria, Potehentrjom and other vil lages, and that In no case were our men and military leaders able to stand up to the enemy. At Durban, In Natal, in 1S48, we got the worst of it, as we did at Doornkop, where English officers of the ordinary type commanded. The only military success which English olflcers can claim In a good many en counters with-the Boers is the battle of Eoomplaats, fought in 1848 between artillery and flintlock guns. It Is, therefore; nonsense to take, refuge be hind the lack of generalship of our lead era. If such factors as courage and leadership do not come Into the con troversy, except to a very limited ex tent, in what direction must we look for the explanation of our defeats? At Lang's Nek the action began by our guns dropping a few shells into the Boer lines, and, is admitted by the Brjrrs themselves, the small low they suffered from the fire General Joubert was nearly bit by a splinter of a ahell induced them to think seriously of A force of about 00 Infantrv set out for the summit of Majuba Hill on the night of February 2.
