At five cents each, the ' catch" amounts to a total of only 111.25, leaving a balance of ;I1,75 of the amount appropriated to be returned to the city treasury. When the city council provided 'M ue a bounty fund It was g-ii'Tully believed that that amount would bo consumed within a Ii w days. Word was received In Astoria yea terduy of the death of Mr. J.

Misfortune Which Besets the Fisher men on the Lower Columbia. As atated In the Astorlan aome few weeks ago, a large number of seals and sea lions have been frequenting the asters of the ocean Just outside the bar. Put little attention has been paid to the seals until now, but now the seala, and especially the si Hons, are causing no end of trouble and damage to Ashing. The aca Hona rush Into the fisher men's nets In their pursuit of salmon and, once entangled In a net they are worse than a "bull In a China shop" when It comes to breaking things. The sea lions not only tear their way out of the nets cutting holes, hard to patch but, by their flurry and Strug glo, scaring the flsh away for hundreds of yards around them. It is said the sea lions can be fright ened from the fishing grounds by a converted action of the fishermen, all moving their boats at once into one locality and thus driving them off. This remedy, It Is understood will be tried. As it Is, much valuable time Is being lost every day by fishermen mending the "sea lion holes" In their nets, to say nothing of the cost of rips and tears in the valuable netting. To date In the neighborhood of 000 un ion fishermen have been registered and gone out to work, and It Is expected the number will reach the 1,000 mark by the first of May. The catch Is running fairly well. In tajt, It Is away beyond the catch for April of any of the three previous years, prior to 1900. Every boat brings in from five to as high as twenty llsh at each haul of the net, and the fish average twenty pounds In weight apiece. Taking the minimum catch and figuring It at six cents per pound, the minimum price, the llshermen, making at least two hauls of tho net each day, are earn ing a fair wage. The seiners report It to be too early for their business and but few selns are out. It Is reported that the fish traps up the river and now doing fairly well. Tho Union Co-Operatlve cannery has some sixty bouts out now and expects to Increase this number by one-half during the coming week. So far, the cannory reports business as "unusual ly good for the April season." None of the canneries worked full time yesterduy but they will all bo busy today, the afternoon and night catch being very good. The genentl situation was clearly expressed yesterday by a fisherman, who said: ' "We are not doing wonders In the way of taking flsh, but we are doln' about twice as much as we expected to do, and that is enougn. The cm nooks are coming In rapidly and the null caught are consequently Increas ing In site and weight It can be said that the season, so far, Is satisfactory. MAY PUT UP TWO TICKETS Democrats and "Citizens" Can not Agree. WILL HAVE A HOT OLD TIME The Two Convcntlodi lo Take Place To dayAs I'nprctcoflous Guess as la Reiull Couslry Democrats Orow Scriost. The country democrats have won out. At least there is every Indica tion that such Is the case. At the recent democratic convention th-( country delegation, Inspired with fundamental prlnclplea rather than practical policy. Insisted upon the nomination uf an out-and-out demo cratic ticket a ticket w'.Jchnhould bear only the true democratic banner and made up of only thone who would, without prompting, Join In the pcuns of praise Inspired by the na tional and state platforms of the un terrllled enthusiasts. The city delega tion, at tho time, counseled modera tion and advised fusion, but the coun try dehfcutcs failed to see It that way and, although conquered by a majority In numbers, they were not subdued. The situation admits of but one con cIumIoii. While there Is every reason to believe that the country deh-Kates Were li wire In their demands for a straight democratic ticket, there Is Just cause for the conviction that they would have given promises to abide by ;he duclxlon for fusion, but many uf them are satisfied that there Is a well-cooked program on lap on the Iifarl of the "clllxens" to make up a ticket composed almost entirely of re publicans. Thla is the main point of objection, and It is the point upon which the "rtmnants" will be at loggerheads to day. There seems to be no hope of recon ciliation and there la every prospect of the democrats and "cltixens" placing separate llcketa In the field at toduy's conventions. It Is not unlikely that there will be Instances In which Iden tical candidates will be nominated In deed, this seems to be a foregone con clusionbut this will not necessarily be the outcome of premeditated connub biallon, as both sidea appear to be ex ceedingly short of suitable candidates. It seems to be generally conceded that both conventions will nominate "Corky" Hansen for sheriff, Carnahan for assessor, and Astbury for survey or. Just what action will be taken relative to the nominee for superin tendent of schools Is problematical. The "cltlsens" are bent upon endors ing Mr. I.ee, the present republican Incumbent while the democrats desire to nominate Mr. Lyman, the former superintendent, who Is scheduled as a ropullst. The democrats will Insist up on Charlie Mathena for coroner and the cltlsens, as far as can be learned, are In per felt accord. As was stated In the As torlan yesterday morning, the legis lative and clerkship nominations, above all others, will mark the varting of the ways. Inasmuch as neither side can agree as to whether Wherlty or Curtis be sacrificed at the alt ir, there are In dications, strong and foreboding, that the "Invulnerable C. J." will have the pleasure of sniffing the aromatic in cense at Wherlty's bier and that the latter will be borne back into his na tive fold to make the fight against Duncan Stewart by the grace of his merits and the republican party. There seems to be but one alterna tive, which Is. ;hat Wherity will sniff the Incense and that "C. J." will be laid at rest. (- -o TALKS WITH TRAVELERS o o "About the only English officer of the first lighting contingent who has not met defeat," said B. L. Hudson, of Cleveland, at a local hotel yesterday, "Is Major-General J. D. P. French. He won first at Elandsloagte, and has more than held his own since. French, who Is now forty-six years old, Is the son of a naval officer, and himself en tered the navy, rising to the rank of lieutenant, when he gave up sailing the waters blue and cast his lot with the army, entering the 19th Hussars, serving with hla regiment in Lord Wolssley's Nile expedition In 1SS4-S5. He was at the fight at Abu Idea, and was mentioned In the dispatches for the part he took In the battle of Me temneh. For his services in the cam paign he received a medal and clasp and the kedhtve's star. General French, so a friend told me, still looks the sallormnn and not at all the beau Ideal cavalrymun one would expect to find him, for he is ruddy, stout and short, standing only about 6 feet and 6 Inches. He is thick set, has brown hair and a heavy mustache, and his eyes are of deep blue. He Is very popular with hla men; they will do any and all things he wishes. "General Hector McDonald, or 'Fight ing Mac,' as he Is popularly called, Is a man who has risen from the ranks, and who owes his present high com mand solely to his own abilities as a soldier. Thu son of a Kosshlre crofter, MacDonald was originally set at work In the millinery trade, but he was not fitted for it, and soon turned to his nat ural avocation, enlisting In the 92d, the famous Gordon regiment. It was while with the Gordons that MacDonald won tho Victoria Cross, or rather the offer of It the alternative being a commis sion, which latter he wisely chose. His ascent of the ladder has since been steady. TUB OLNBY SCHOOL AFFAIR. Director Fulton Mokes a Statement as to the Fads In the Case. ASTORIA, April 20,-Edltor of the Astorlan: Yesterday morning there appeared In the Astorlan an article Klvlng a v-ry unfair account of an ac cident which occurred the day prior at the Olney school of this city, whereby a little daughter of Mr. Lacey of this city was slightly injured. The article was headed, "A Hoodlum at the Olney School Lrutally Beats a Little Girl," and In the body of the article It was sluted that the girl "was brutally beaten by a young hoodlum who Is attending the school" and that she "was taken to her home In a terrible condition, her nose having been brok en" and she "was found in the base ment shortly after the assault In a dazed and bleeding condition," and, finally, "this Is one of several com plaints of atrocities of this nature that has come from the Olney school. That thrrj is a gang of hoodlums attending th school who should be either ex pelled or subjugated Is manifest." Now, not to speak unkindly, but can didly, the only element of truth In the statement Is this: the girl was slightly hurt while at play. She was not as wiulted. Her noae was not broken. She wits not found In the basement in a daxed condition or at all, but, on the contrary, after the accident, she walked up Into the school room. The facts are as followa: The "young hoodlum" Is a boy about nine or ten years of age and as manly a little fellow as will be found In the city. He waa playing with a stick and a rubber ball; bouncing the bull and striking It with the stick. The girl waa behind him and as he drew the stick back to strike at the ball, the little girl ran too close to him and, unfortunately, the stick struck her. The blow was severe and painful, it is true, but Is was such an accident as Is liable to happen at any time when children meet at play, at home as well as at school. One of the teachers had been wltn thu children in the playroom up to within a few seconds before the acci dent occurred, and had Just stepped out to rln? the bell, but the above facts are substantiated by every child In the playroom who witnessed the occurrence, and there were several. Mr. Lacvy was present when Miss Holden, the principal, Investigated the matter and stated to her that he was satisfied It was purely an accident, and he sub sequently made the same statement to Director Higgins. The article did great injustice to the teachers and pupils of the Olney school. If other complaints of "atrocities of thla nature" have been made. It seems strange no member of the board of directors has ever beard of them. Cer tain it is there has been no such occur rence as that charged at any time at the Olney school. It la also unfair to the pupils to say "there Is a gang of noodiums attending1 the school." Toe statement Is both untrue and unkind. Tbe emidreu of the Olney scoool will compare favorably with the cniidren of any school in the state as to intel ligence, morals and deportment C. W. FULTON, Chairman Board of Directors. The Astorlan gladly gives space to the above otlicial communication from Chairman Fulton of the school board, with the hope that It may satisfacto rily close an unpleasant incident wnlch, it is to be feared, has been already unduly exploited. Jus. ice impels the statement that thb matter has been itioroiighiy investigated by toe board and the original Version of the anair as publlbhed in the Astorian turns out to oe entirely unfounded. Mr. Lacey was probably sincere in his inuitfnauon. Curried away by the natural leeling of a parent under such circumstances he Hastened to furnish the Astorian with details relating lo the injury of his child which the facts in the case' do not corroborate. That he should re sort to denunciatory relleciious upon the scholars, teachers and directors of the school was, perhaps, not unreason able. The evidence, however, certain ly bears out Mr. Fulton's statements as to the occurence, and the Astorlan regards it as a duty to the public as well as to all parties immediately con cerned to Jay before Its readers, with Mr. Fulton's communication, the ex planation here given. ELECTRICITY IS LIFE. It has been demonstrated that an animal killed by electricity may be brought to life. An ordinary current does not produce Instant death, and if It were possible to have in readiness suitable apparatus, consciousness could be restored by the infvston of deflbrln ated blood. In a like manner Hustet ter's Stomach Bitters, the well known tonic, Infuses life into debilitated bod ies, by revitalizing and purifying the blood. This wonderful medicine per meates and distributes nutritive mater ial to every part of the body. If its quality or circulation is deranged, trouble follows. Constipation, dyspep sia, liver and kidney disorders all spring from a weak condition of the digestive organs, which aff-sv.s the blood, and through it the entire body. The Bitters cures all such disorders and Is an excellent iprlng tonic. TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY. Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tab lets. All druggists refund the money if It falls to cure. E. W.
