Many Aatorlana have visited Fort P'i'ven for the purpose of witnessing the struggle of the sxeat whale that la stranded near the Jetty. A party wont down in the ffilectro yesterday afternoon, md saw the monster atrug gling In shallow water on the south lde of ths Jetty. The predicament of th whala appears to be a hopeless one, and thsre la little probability that he will ever again reach deep water. It wn reported that the whale bad auc- fowled In making hla way out of the shoals, but the report proved to be In correct, for he n plainly aeen yester day afternoon, floundering around In a few feet of water.

The New York Fishing Gaxette pro. tuium-c Incorrect the statement re cently appearing In these column that the law of the lnte of New York re quire that flesh food ahull be sent to New York market u II fall at the hand of the butcher that the entrall shall remain In beef, fish, etc. The statement apiear!ng In The Astnriitn waa bated on a story related to a re po.ier by one of the moat prominent expres agent In Portland, who said that the luw of the Empire state SH-ifl-d that salmon, for Instance, would hve to be shipped there from Astoria Just a it was taken from the river. It I The Aatorlan'a Impression that the agent knew what he wiyi talk Ing almut. and that the New York pa per tH'ihana I mistaken In It version of the matter. In all seven new case of scarlet fe ver are reported developed and every precaution possible to prevent the dlS' ease sprvudlrujf over the entire city I be Ing exerclned by the board of health. Heretofore the malady ha been entire. ly confined to the east end, but the last flv" case reKrted are the children of Peter Deuclch living neur the Seaside cannery In the west end of the city. Children, excepting those who are at work, are prohibited from lclng on the street. Special officers have been ap pointed to enforce this regulation and p.vreim of children found violating the rule will be arrested. The appear ai)'.-c of the disease In West Astoria la a source of great alarm but It Is deemed likely that If the proper care Is taken a further spread will be pre vented. Certainly the board of health la doing all In Its power to allay the progress of the fever .and with the earnest cooperation of the parents hope for success. A letter was received in the city yes terday from Terry MeKean, who Is In Santa Jose. Calif. Mr. McKean Is prosjieroii and well and send his re gurus to hi many friends here. He is a nemler of the Webster-Rosa stock company and haa been showing with thut organlxatlon at the Garden theater for the Inst five months. It seems that the Item published a week ago that Mr. McKean had recently ended an engagement with Hob Fltssimmona and that he Intended Joining the Mar garita Fischer company was In error as he writes that he ha not been asso ciated with the now disbanded Fitx- slmmons company and has not had the slightest Intention of Joining the Fisch er crowd, a combination of Which he hai only a professional knowledge. The misinformation wfcs given out by a representative of the Fischer com pany nnd was accompanied by every evidence of veracity, but It waa doubt lea hot air talk calculated to stir up local Interest In a very vapid outfit. When It comes to real merit, all such farces a "The Wrong Mr. Wright," "What Happened to Jone," etc., must taHe a back sent to "The Irish Pawn brokers," which was presented at Fishers' last night to a house that was almost a record breaker. From the time the curtain was rung up until the crowd filed out of the hall it was one long InuRh, and a better pleased audi ence never sot through a performance. The story of the play Is almost lost sight of In tho network of excellent specialties that are produced by the combination, and surprise followed sur prise In quick succession, . The com pany Is full of fine singers and danc ers, who delighted the crowd and won much applause for themselves. To give credit to each of the performers who merited favorable mention would require more space than can be given, but when it is said that every member of the troupe la an artist strict regard for the truth Is -shown. Never was there a more laughable and enjoyable play In Astoria, and the combination made for itself a name last night that Insures packed houses whenever it vis its this city again.

Mayor I'reent Ilia Annual Mes- HAgc I'ropoae-rt CluwijreK In (lie Cliitrlfr. The flrat meeting of the new city council was held at noon yesterday, when Mayor Suprcnarit presented hi annual message and the newly elected councllmen were formally Installed In office. A brief buslnes session was also held, at which the report of the committee appointed to recommend charter change was received and dl cussed. Mayor SuprenanC message was a folio a s: "To the M-mber of the Common Council Oantlemen: It is customary for the mayor to communicate to the council on :he first of each year stat ing as near as possible the general con dition of the c4ty affairs and making such recommendations a seem proper. I have not a yet all of the data neces sary to make a full statement of the flruuiciitl condition of the city, but I am Informed thai there Is quite an Im provement on what It wa laat year. A positive report on thl question will soon be made: "The affairs of the city are In. fairly good condition and I find the various officers performing their duties satis factorily, but I would urge upon the of' fleers still greater exertion If possible In their various duties, so as to give the city a thoroughly good admlnlstra tlon of It affairs. While the finance of the city have improved somewhat, I believe they can be still further Im proved during the year, although I am glad to state that the collections for the past year have been well made, thereby adding considerable to the fund of the city, and I earnestly urge the continuance of such efforts so as to collect all that is due the city from all source, and the surplus money to be used to reduce our Indebtedness as much as possible. "Our streets, being the greatest source of expense to the people, neces sarily require the jrreatest care on our part, both in their construction and re. pair. In the past year a great deal of street work has been done, but much more needs to be done thl year, and I would advise that the street committee us every effort In Its power to do all th work that come under Its super vision w ith as great dispatch and as lit lie cost to the taxpayers as possible. I would also ask the street committee to look Into the question of crushed rock for streets and find the compara tive cost of same, and learn if It could be used to advantage on some vt our streets that are on solid' ground. would alo chII, the same committee's attention to the queslon of drainage, as there ire ery many places in the city that require such attention. i'urlng the past year we have had qule a number of cases of contagious diseases which we have to care for and so far as I know were properly han dled and with as little cost as our fa cilities would permit, but. If more stringent measures are necessary to prevent the spread of the disease it Is the duty of the board of health to In augurate such measures. . "I would respectfully call the atten tion of the council to the necessity for some Improvements to the city ceme tery, more particularly a supply of water Is required for Irrigation pur poses. "I would again call your attention to the sanitary condition of the city. which is not good, and I believe could tie made mu h better by a little effort on our part. Cleanliness is a very Im portant luestion that we should not neglect. 'The past year has been one of pros perity and the prespects are flattering for the present year. Through the efforts of our commercial bodies and cltlsehs quite an Improvement In our Industries has been made and by such efforts continued we will soon have city that we can wefl be proud of, but at the same time the coincll has and con further assist the advancement of the city by a careful and economical management of Its affairs. "I will take this opportunity to thank the members of the council and all of the city officials for their kind and gentlemanly treatment, tnd trust that we will act In harmony during the present year." The mayor announced his committees for the year, as follows: Ways and Means Messrs. Nord strom, Burns and Kaboth. Health and police Messrs. Morton, Jahlstrom and Hansen. Streets and - public ways Messrs. Burns, Wright and Robinson. Fire and water Messrs. Hansen, Morton and Nordstrom. - - Public property Messrs. Lelnen- weber. Wright and Kaboth. Wharves and Waterfrontage Mes srs. Wright, Jahlstrom and Lelnen weber. A resolution was adopted fixing the first and third Mondays of each month as the time for holding the ' regular meetings, and naming January 12 as the date for the flrat regular meeting of 1903. The committee appointed to recom mend charter changes submitted Its re port, w hich waa discussed at aome length. The following alterations were decided upon by the council: . First That an amendment be" made providing that a notice of Intention to Improve a atreet or construct a sewtr or di'siln and th notice that an assess ment I due may be posted upon the bulletin board at the city hall and within the limits of the portion of the street affected by the notice which shall be equivalent to publication In a pa per. Second - An amendment providing thit Ihere' shall be no special funds other than the street repair fund, and special street, sewer and drain Im provement funds, and all other special fund shall be abolished and money converted to the general fund. Third A provision that no person In jured upon the streets of the clty shall recover damages unless he shall within X- day from the date of the Injury file with the council a statement show ing the nature of the Injury or Injuries, the time and place of the accident and U9 persons present, If any.
