A Chinaman who has Just received a letter from hi wife ay: "In Chi na muchce tluble. Chinamen no llkee. Too muchee flghte all cm Mellcan man." Among other thing the war has raised th price of rice tfrom one cent to five cent a pound In China. Before the war It coat ono cent a pound to get a pig through the custom hous ', now It I five cents. He put tho situa tion this way: "Chllstlcn man mnkee heap tluble. Ketchum China girl, make Cllstlen, too. noxer man no llkee. Cut em Chllstlen head off. Chinamen no llkee Boxer; alle sem InJIn."' "There Is to be a grand regatta at Atttorlu on the 2.1rd, 24th and 25th of this month and those who are famil iar with tho whole-hearted way In which Astoria people do things will expect nn exceedingly good time nor will they be disappointed. Bro. Chas. II. Stockton, the sarcastic wag of Sea side. No. 12, Is chnlrman of the board hnvlnir tho matter In charge." A. O. tT, W. Reporter, Salem. The foregoing no doubt voice the sentiment of alt those who have bten the guests of As toria during vhe preceding regattas. To those who have been unfortunate In missing the regattas of the past, As toria requests that they come here. If a general good time Is not hud, It will be because some people do not know one when they oe It. Preparations for Astoria' annual re gutta go merrily on. Reports received from those who have been Invited to participate are very encouraging. The committee 1 busy arranging detail and It will not be many day b'for all arrangement are completed. Among the many Innovation to be Introduced In thl year- regatta will be a balloon ascension by a ludy who cannot wlm. Providing th wind and the committee can get together on tha direction th former will come from, th balloonist will fall Into the river. To the one rescuing her a rewsrd will be paid. The prospect for a race between Pape, champion sculler of California, and Pal- ton, of Portland, are excellent, as each man Is anxious to meet the other. John Hahn like package very well, not only hoo package but other kinds. Th other night when he arrived at hi house, after an evening spent at th lodge with th boy, h not only had A few packagv, but 'lulte a bun dle. Slowly and Mtly creeping up stair, he got to his bedroom ail right, but here I where the fun commenced, III wife, although In bed, was wide awake. (II call her Mama-la, and she call hliu pupa-la.) She uld, "Pa-pa-la. what's the time?" He answered "II o'clock." Just then their cuckoo clock cuekood three time. Poor Hahn had to cuckoo the other nine to come to scratch. An-1 Hnhn has a dog. A visitor went up to e 111 ill the other day, and Incidentally remarked: "What a fine pup that Is." "Yes." suld Hahn. "he' so gentle he'll eat off your hand." lie look a piece nut of the visitor' leg the next minute. Mr. Hahn suld, "That ilog's worth flvc hundred dollars." His fii.-nd nalil he didn't believe It. In an aggrieved tone Hahn askel. "Why not? Causs I don't think a dog could save that much money." Th Port bind Telegram lust nlKht contained the following editorial com ment on the methods emimtyed by Ann ermen on the Columbia river: "The us ual flgbt between the glllnetter on the one hand, and the trupmen and wheel men on the other, will be waged again next winter at Salem, only with great er h.at than ever before. Much can be said In behalf of the position taken by either side, and the usual con- (U"ice I that the average legislator becomes befogged, and doesn't know what Is beat to do and a good many of them don't care whether anything Is done or not. Pome "measure that will further protect the salmon Industry should be rnnrtcd, but In the midst of the strenuous strife that will prevail It Is doubtful If such will be the re sult." The only excuse fir leglMators being befuddled In the past has been duo to the fact that they have not Investigated the matter sufficiently to arrive at a definite conclusion as to the merit of the various method em ployed In taking salmm from the rlv er. Had thos elected to the leglsla ture of Oregon and Washington In post year adopted the policy of Inveatlga tlon which was recently undertaken by the newly-elected legislators from Multnomah and Clatsop :ountlei, the question of protecting the salmon on the Columbia river would now be more w idely understood and more fish would b found In the river. Since the big Robertson log raft crossed out In tow for San Francisco the other day much speculation ho been Indulged In by those Interested In shipping from thl port as to the success of the venture. Raft after raft. In the post, ho broken loose on pre vious ventures, menacing coast-wise shipping and Involving many thousand of dollar of loss. The weather con dition within the past few day, how ever, have been such that no fear I felt as to the safe arrival of the big raft at her destination. Lost nlht's Telegram contained an Interview with Mr. Fastabend. the contractor who con structed the raft along the tines laid out by Mr. Robertson. In the-course of his conversation Mr. Fastabend said: "If you know anything about vessels, you must know that the argument set up In this article published today as to the danger to ship at sea from a raft of timber, such as I have Just built, either In case of Its going to piece or otherwise, Is ridiculous. The raft Is towed by two steamers, properly light ed at night with regulation signals. Every rare known to navigation Is ex ercised and there Is no chance of col lision by day or night. Should there be a gale strong enough to break up the raft you must see that the Indi vidual logs or spars, even one hundred feet long, floating on the wave couldn't even damage a sailboat. Should a ves sel collide with one It could not be otherwise than on the prow of the boat, wh?re there la not over six Inche of square space. Struck end on here the log or spar would only glance aside. Should the spar He crosswise the path of the vessel and even be struck near tho middle, It would only turn one way or the other, and glance by the side of the vessel. All this talk Is sim ply for effect by certain shipowners and has no foundation In fact. Whoever heurd of a vessel being wrecked by colliding In the dark or daylight with a log at sea? And then, suppose the towboats should have to cut loose from a raft of logs, or spars, and the raft did not break up. would It be any worse menace to vessels than the many derelicts flouting In the waters? I think not." NOTICE. Notice Is hereby given that the un dersigned has been appointed adminis trator of the estate of Jacob E.

C. W. FL'LTON, Astoria, Oregon, Aug. J, 1900. CHINESE LABORER KILLED. j Fatal Affray at Booth' Cannery-H ay- er 'en ' bwi ' oum .in. " ' Wun Lung, a iatlv of Canton, Chi na, 2 year of age, languishes In the county jail, practically charged with murder, while Wong Ark Toy, another native of the Flowery Kingdom, ll- on a board In the morgue, with no thought whatever of thl world, Box er trouble, or anything of a like na ture. The deadly Instrument used by Wun Lung In disposing of hi fellow coun tryman I now In the hwifT' ofllcf. It I a acraper of flm, In the form of a hoe, and wou'd weigh probably eight pound. Wun Lung wielded It with such violence that, when It came In contact with the victim' head, the board on the handle, no less than an Inch and a quarter In thickness, wa broken Into two piece. Th affair, which occurred at th Booth Packing Company' cannery, came about by Lung being dilatory In Jil work so much so that Ark Toy remonstrated with him. The effect of hi remark wa such that Lung' Ire wa aroused. Awaiting a favorable opportunity he picked up the draper and struck the deceased on the bark of the head, fell ing him to his hand and knees, but he gradually sunk to the flour uncon scious. Other Chinamen came In and carried him to his shack. This happened at 5 o'clock Wednesday evening. The man remained unconscious until 1 o'clock In the morning, when he died. Lung, when called upon at the coun ty Jull, cuine from hi cell and stood behind the grated door with hi hands on Iron bands that may fonver bar him from Intercourse with the outside world. He was told by the deputy herlfT that a reporter wiMieil to speak to him, and became very talkative. During the course of the Interview he guv the following version of the af fair: "My name Is Wun Lung. I am a native of Canton, China, tind am 2S year of age. I came to this country when a small lad. I have always been a very good Chinaman. Never have had a fight. "I was filling cans while ihe other Chinaman was salting. A white boy working beside me wanted to know what time It wa. I said 2 o'clock; h sold, 4. Then he went to look. The Chlnarilan swore at me very much for being alow, i told him to stop swearing. He tried io hit me. I pick ed up the scraper and struck fit hlmi but the board on the end of the han dle broke off and only the handle struck him. He fell on his hands and knees; then sat up and other Chinamen took him home. I worked at Booth' can nery four month and twenty day." The evidence In the case Is very much at variance with Lung's story. It appear from the position of the body when found that the murdered man wa vtruck from behind, while carrying a tray full of cans. The wea pon used -was no doubt broken from the Impact of the blow a It descended upon the skull. The victim did not appear to be In a precarioua condition until yesterday morning so no arrest wa made until that time, when Foreman Barker brought Lung to the city and placed him In the hands of the proper author ities. Those acquainted with the deceased speak of him In the highest of terms. The coroner arrived from Swenson lost night and an Inquest will be held this morning, when the evidence of the young man who was the only wit ness to the affair, will be submitted. Upon the boy' testimony will chiefly rest the fate of the prisoner, and there Is every Indication that Wun Lung will be held for murder. COL. WOOD ON DEMOCRACY. What the Prominent Portland Lawyer Thinks of the Political Situation. A representative of the Astorlan had an Interview yesterday with Col. C. E. S. Wood on the stand which Gold Democrat In this part of the country would take In the coming election. In the course of his remarks the col onel spoke as follows:' "In 1896, as a Gold Democrat, I voted for McKlnley because I thought the silver standard, a proposed by Mr. Bryan, to be an error, and I am free to confess I still hold the same opin ion. But I believe that the question of trust r.nd Imperialism Is of far mora moment In this campaign than was even the rallying cry of 'Free Sli ver' four year ago. According to the law passed by the last congress, the currency question Is a defunct Issue un til after 1905, and I fall to see where Mr. Bryan's success would Imperil the coinage ratio' as It exists today. So that, with this explanation of why I have left my prvjudices against the 16-to-l doctrine to be overcome with what I consider the parnmount Issues, I will tell you what I think far more Important. A little more than two years ago, not more than one man In ten had even heard of the Philippines, and what was more, didn't care. All of a sudden, these Islands have so grown In Importance that to leave .them go would, according to the Republican par ty, mean the dismemberment of the Union. Is the spirit of commercialism, of trade so rampant that the citizens of the country are willing to sacrifice national honor, conscience and prece dent for rnltry gold? Mr. McKlnley has Imposed 15 per cent of the Dlngley tariff on Porto Rlean products. Why? Because It Is a territory? According to the constl tutlon a tariff on Inter-state or Inter- territorial products I Illegal. The R publicans have decided (for the time being) that Porto ltlco I a territory, Then why do they not obey the law Incorporated by member of their party? If that country I not a part of the United State In the shape of state or territory, then It must be a colony, and a republic cannot hold colonies. "Our Colonial Problem" was the sub ject of a long article the other day In ono of the administration papers, and if this la not avowal enough, coupled with the manner In which McKlnley ha characterized hi conduct toward the Island, I would like to know what 1. Democrat have alway stood for either free trade or a tariff for reve nue only. On this Issue there Is again a clash, for there Is hardly a vestige of doubt left a to whether or not the high protective tariff I not the cause of tt4 trusts. It ha been asked sev eral time. 'Would not the Democratic party have and uphold trust were they in power?' and to thl I answer 'No!' It would be Impossible under unrestricted Imports to monopolize any commodity. Col. Wood wa then asked: "Do you believe that were Mr. Bryan elected, panic and 'bard times' would occur?" Answering, he said: "I do not. A long as there I a demand for manu factured articles or raw products. Just so long will there be a supply, for the demand ceasing, there would be no Incentive to furnish goods to meet It. Now, does any one so cloud their Intellect by thinking that because Mr. Bryan wa elected England would not tuke -ur Iron, our cotton, our wheat; that France would cease to use our cereals, and our manufactured articles? As long as orders are received, the P'ants will be kept running and the fround will be tilled, and o long as this state of affairs exists, worklngin n will be busy and receive remuneration for their services, the amount of the latter depending on one thing, whether or not trust would continue to flz as law a price as I now the rule. "I think that the coming election will And a division In the rank of the par ties a follow: The worklngmen, that Is the great lower clashes, the man without city real estate, will be for Bryan, while the moneyed and better dressed class will array themselves In the Republican fold. '" "In other words. I believe that antl Imperlallsm, anil-trust and antl-mlll-tarism will outweigh the silver ques tion in the minds of most of those who are called 'Gold Democrats.'

The first three day of thl week things brightened up considerable for both the fishermen and packers, but yesterday, Instead of a further Increase In the catch, there came a check and thing appear far from encouraging. Fifty-three men at one cannery aver aged less than three hundred pounds apiece while many other returned ttlmot empty handed. Lust year when the estimate of the pack wa made up It was found that tho year had been the dullest yet ex perienced, but even should the dally catch continue to average a well as the post four days, from now until Au gust 10th, when th season closes, the year 1900 will be little better than tast year. Royal chlnook are In the majority among the flsh taken, yet these usual ly weighty fish are falling below the average. THE BRITISH SOLDIER. It 1 said that the British soldier wear such tight clothing that his Inter nal organ are often seriously injured. Then when on the march hi chest I compressed by the weight of hi knap ack, canteen, gTeatcoat and heavy cartridge belt. UsuoJly the stomach is the first organ to suffer from over taxing of any nature. Overwork, abue. neglect or Improper food Is bound to produce dyspepsia and It attendant evils. For any disorder of the diges tive organs Hostetter's Stomach Bit ter should be taken. Thl famous medicine will cure all ailment of the stomach. Try it for constipation, indi gestion, flatulency, dyspepsia, nervous ness or insomnia. It make the weak strong, and an occasional dose will keep the bowels regular. A thorn In the flesh Is more trou blesome than two on the bush. The man with wooden legs never suffer from corn or cold feet. Remember That FISHER BROS.
