About the most Interesting feature of the political situation at the present time Is the talk that Is going round of a straight democratic ticket for the coming city election. For a long time pant, It seems, there has been a certain democratic element that waa anxious to sail under democratic colors, being oppomed to the citizen name adopted many years ago and alnce clung to. These straight-out democrats have re vived the agitation for a straight ticket, and the statement has been mode dur ing the past 10 duys that the ticket Is to be named. The promoters of the plan have oven gone so far as to se lect a ticket, with a very prominent democrat at Us i head. Whether or not anything wilt come of the effort re mains to be seen, An effort made yesterday to get line on the probable republican nomi nees resulted In failure. A member of the city republican committee was ask ed for an expression, and said: "It's too early us yet to give out any names. We have been considering the matter ot candidates, rut affairs are not yet In shape to Justify the naming of men. You can put It down as cer tain, however, thut we will have a strong ticket In the field." "Will Mayor Hupnnant be renoml- na'edT" was askl. 1 "80 far as I know, there Is no oppo sition to his candidacy," was the reply. "I am of the opinion that he will be ie nominated, having given oatlsfoction. As to the other offices to be Oiled, I can not make any statement at this time. Out the convention will have good ma terial to select from." Among the retiring councllmen this year era Merars. Whlght and Hansen. Neither has yet mode up hi mind whether or not he will oecept a renom Ination. , Mr. Wright said a few days nto that he was tired of his Job, and Mr. Hannen Intimated yesterday that perhaps he might not run again. WHERE WAS FORT LOCATED? Local IteNtdciit DUajrree With Mr. Gillette of Portland. The letter f P, W. plllette In Sun day's Oregonian with reference to the location of Fort Astoria haa aroused interest among pioneer residents, most of whom disagree with Mr. Gillette's theory that the blockhouse was built at the southeast corner of Franklin avenue and Fourteenth street. The general belief In Astoria Is that the fort was located on block 11S. Shlvely's As toria, which Is bounded by Fifteenth and Sixteenth, Duune and Exchange streets. Judge Bowlby, who has been making Investigations along these lines for the post two years, said yesterday: "I am told by Jamea W. Welch that his father once built a house at the cor ner ot Franklin avenue and Fourteenth street, and It is quite probable that the timbers found there and referred to by Mr. Gillette came from .the old house. I cannot reconcile the location with the surroundings as shown In all the mat of the town In those days. Mr. Gillette points out .hat a ravine skirted the fort, but there was also a ravine along the east line of what Is now Fif teenth street, so as far as this Is con cerned the fort might have been located on block 188. "I have talked with several old-timers about the matter and have been told that loss wre uncovered on Fifteenth etreet when that thoroughfare was opened that certainly must have been used in the construction of a block house. The question ot the location of the- fort Is a mooted one, and the late Colonel James Taylor held to tho be lief that It waa built on the site refer red to by Mr. Gillette. However, I am personally of the belief that this opin ion Is erroneous, for the reason that the maps lo not show It as nearly as one can judge." ' Further Inquiries are to be made and when the Information Is gathered Judge Bowlby will put It In shape for publi cation. He strongly urges that more Interest should be taken in historical matter of this kind, as pioneers are yearly becoming fewer and Information more difficult to secure . ACCIDENT TO TEAMSTER. Sherman's loaded wood wagon was overturned yesterday morning on Franklin avenue near Ninth and the drl'er, .' Len Lowrey, was violently thrown to the ground and seriously hurt by the shock. He was knocked senseless but soon recovered on the ap plication of cold water. He waa then taken to the adjacent residence of Mr. Dell and Dr. Finch was called. The doctor found him only suffering from the severe shock, without any bones To Feel Well you must U welL Your digestive organs must be doing their work properly.

In the fall, his head was struck near the temple and a blood shot condition resulted. His right wrlat wm also sprained. He recovered within an hour sufficiently to be taken In an express wagon to his room over P. A. Stokes store. Mr. Lowrey U a recent arrival from Portland and has been driving for the Sherman Transfer Company about two months. The accident was due to the absence of a guard piece on the north edge of J the sloping plank of the street and the slippery condition of the streets. For some reason, the city surveyor ha made the hill streets on Franklin ave nuo west of Ninth with a slope to the north. As a consequence, the wagon travel on those streets In wet or cold weather .Is very dangerous. Mr Shernan on reaching the scene of the accident suggested the need of a heavy scantling along the north edge of the street. It certainly would be a great protection to wagon travel. Last evening, Mr, Lowery was re ported as worse, though nothing serious Is anticipated. However, he la worse Injured than was thought at first. Stand In Way Of New Mills Present Harbor Lines Will Shut Them Off From Deep Water Unless Soon Extended. Public ottentlon la now being devoted to the matter of the necessary change In the harbor lines, and opinions have been frequently expressed during the past few day. That the present lines should stand as a barrier to the ocean commerce of the port Is la a condition of affairs that Is universally lamented, and the demand for the extension of the lines Is general. "We want to load all the deap-sea v essels here we can," said a prominent merchant here yesterday. "Every ship thut takes on cargo at Astoria leaves money here and, above all, adds to the prestige ot the port. At present our mill men are unable to load big ships here, because they cannot extend their docks to deep water. We must arrange matters so that this difficulty will be overcome." Frank Patton, one of the stockholders of the American Lumber Cmpany, said that extension of the harbor lines would have to be made before his com pany commenced the construction of Its mill In the East End. "There Is plenty of water at the lower end of our property, but the depth above Is not sufficient." said he. "To shut us off from deep water would ruin our enter prise. Juit as it Is standing in the way of the Hume and Clatsop mill people. "My Idea Is that the harbor line should be extended 400 feet In the East End. This would make it possible to build the docks out to deep 'water. It( does not follow that the lines should be extended that far down the harbor; Indeed. believe It would be found that there Is no necessity for extension be low the Fisher dock. This matter can not be definitely determined until new soundings have been made. The charts now available was made In 1890 and there has been a very great change since then." At Monday's meeting of the chamber there was general discussion of the operations of the dredge Chinook, and the suggestion was offered that after she begins work here It might be pos sible to start a sea wall. It was sug gested that the start might be made at Smith Point and that the sand pumped up by the dredge could be pumped in behind the wall. The discussion brought out the Interesting fact that the cost of a sea wall would not be as great as k generally believed. When the railroad company renews its tres tle along the water front It Is possible some arrangement will be made where by the sea wall can be built, the cost to be mutually borne. CHINOOK COMING NEXT WEEK Will Be Given Trial Commenc ing on Thursday. - An Associated Press dispatch receiv ed last night by The Astorlan contains some additional information as to the probable time of arrival of the dredge Chinook. From this dispatch It Is to le Inferred that the Chinook will be here next week. The dispatch follows: Vallejo, Col., Oct. 27.-Ordera have been received for the name ot the tran port Grant to be changed and she will hereafter be known as the Chinook. The dredge will leave here on the lost high tide Thursday with the govern ment Inspectors aboard and will be given a three days' trial at San Fran cisco bar. If every thing works satis factorily the dredge will proceed north and o to work at the mouth of the Co lumbia river. DRINK THE BEST. When you want refreshments, you want the best. Call on P. S.

Mesford, a native of Norway, was yesterday granted full papers of citizenship. Holds the ltecord Ifetween San ' Francisco and Germany Made Good Time From Astoria, Captain Denker entered his vessel, the German ship Arthur Fluger, at the Astoria custom house yesterday. The Fltzger brings 2600 tons of cement and coke, all for Portland. It was reported yesterday that some of the cargo would be lightered here, but Captain Denker says this Is a mistake. The Arthur Fltxger is now in Astoria harbor for Ae fourth tme. For the past nine years she has been In com mand of her present master. The Fltz ger was formerly the British ship Brit ifth Merchant, and she has frequently made record passages. The present trip waa a slow one, but this was due to adverse weather conditions experienced off the Horn, 7 days being required between "50 and 60." The month of August was very rough, and both the FVsger and Cbristel had mishaps to their canvas. - .V Off the Horn the Fluger sfehted the Chrtatel, but did not speak her. ' Cap tain Denker said that be did not sight another yard ot canvas this side of the Horn until he reached the Columbia, when he discerned the Chrlstel oft TU lamdok rock. The two ships had made the passage from the Horn in exactly the same time, yet had never been In sight of each other. When the Fitter was the British Merchant she was commanded by Cap tain Maloney, who was well known on the coast. At San Francsco, one Fourth of July, a doxen years ago or more, all the 'British vessels, and ships ot other nationalities, for that matter, displayed their flogs In honor of the day. Captain Maloney waa particular ly enterprising and his ship was award ed a prize for making the best display. The diploma given him by the appre ciative cltitens of San Francisco is still bunging In the cabin of the vessel. The Fltxger holds the record passage between San Francisco and Germany Si days. She has made several crock passages between Astoria and England, but has never succeeded In lowering the record time of SO days, made, by the ilrltlsh ship Caltloch. Captain Denker has followed the lea In the capacity of master for more than 20 years and Is one of the few skippers who have visited Christmas Isle, off the coast of Africa. This Is land Is of coral formation and Is known to have risen and fallen. In years gone by two pairs of cattle and two pairs of pfes were placed ashore on this unin habited reef, and the animal colony has increased with such rapidity that it 1 almost Impossible to effect a landing. The animals crowd about the Only land Ing place on the Island In such numbers as to actually delay the men when, they attempt to go ashore. - Some of Captain Denker's atones prompted Mr. Cherry, British vice-consul, to relate an actual occurrence that rivals the fiction of the most noted au thors. Some 2000 miles from the Cape ot Good Hope and 4000 miles from the cost of Australia is a small Isle called Crdxet, on the coast of which a French vessel was wrecked. The shipwrecked sailors caught an albatross and made fast to It a small piece of tin bearing an inscription In French detailing the disaster and asking that assistance be sent. A hunter walking along the Aus tralian coast near Perth shot the alba tross, but waa unable to make out the French Inscription. The singular mes sage was eent the governor at Perth, who In turn forwarded It to a Brltteh official tn India. This official read the message, wired the facts to uonaon and In turn the matter was communi cated to the Paris government. As France had no available vessel In South Africa, the British sent a warship to the isle, and the entire crew of the French ship was rescued. This Is ne of the most remarkable rescues evar effected. "TENNESSEE'S PARTNER." The glamor ot romance which Bret Harte threw over the mining camps, Immortalising their gulches, their hills, their streams, and, more than all, their strange types of frontier humanity, ilnds living expression In "Tennessee's Partner," the comedy drama which will be presented by the Wiedemann com pany at Fishers' opera house tonight. This beautiful play is a combination of a series of unique and delightful etoge pictures. These portraitures illustrate the rude, primitive traits of mining lite, :nd reveal beneath the rough exterior more warmth of heart, honesty of pur pose and devoted friendship than Is to be found beneath the more polished surface of city culture. "Tennessee's Partner" depends on the author's con struction and lines and the ability of the company for its success, and as it is difficult to find any (glaring faults In either, indorsement naturally succeeds the production of the play.. Tom Wiedemann will appear tn the cast to night for the first time this week, as suming the roll of "Gewhllliker Hay." Miss Nellie Wiedemann will play "Ten nessee Kent."
