SKA LION3 TEA It THE NETS.
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.

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.
