Caniuhan it concerned, be doe not purpose making any such promise as that the governor would exact from members of the legislative department of this commonwealth, "Failure on the part of the governor to conventjhe legislature In extra ses sion will work a great hardship on As toria school district and operate to the Inconvenience of the city of Astoria," tald Representative Carnahan yester day. "As I understand it, the cost of maintaining Astoria school district is $30,000 a ver. The debt of the district Is $70,000, approximately, and. as the district Is empowered to obligate itself only to the extent of 6 per cent of the assessed valuation of the property In the district, but $10,000 could be bor rowed. primarily, the legislature should be called In special section to remedy the tax law; but, should other important matters require action at the ieclal session, 1 would favor their consider ation, t believe that everything of necessity should be acted upon. Whether or not any other measures might be brought up for action I can not say at this time. "The statement of the governor does i;ot commend Itself favorably to me. If the member of the legislature are conpetant to meet In regular session for the purpose of transacting the' busi ness of the state, '.hey are surely com petent to represent the people at a special session. The governor seeks to exact a promise that would bind mem bers to agree to adjournment upon passage of the tax law, but I shall make no such promise. If the leVfis lutur Is convened in extra session, I shall favor action on any measure of Importance that may be brought up." Representative Hahn shares the gov- j ernor's view of the mauer, ana oeuev i the legislature should adjourn imme diately upon passage of the tax bill. "Of course," said Mr. Hahn, when In terviewed on the subject, "the legisla tors could scare up a thousand and one things If they had the opportunity and the Inclination, but why go to this ex tra expense when the occasion does not demand It? If a speclul session Is call ed for the pu.pose of saving to the state money that would otherwise be lost, then It would certainly be folly to siddlrt upon the people other expense that might as well be avoided. A num ber of measures would probably be passed that would be unimportant tothe slate at large nnd of trivial jlgnlflcnnce to those most Interested. Let tho legis lature be called In epcclal session for economical reasons and let useless Uk- lulntlon be avoided for the fame pur- pose." Mr. Hahn quoted the constitution to the effect that the govarnor is em powered to call an extra session and when both bodies are assembled, to then and there announce the business to be accomplished, hut added that there was nothing binding upon the leg- islatoin to adhere strictly to that bus iness. Mr. Hahn entertains the Idea that It will be necessary for the gov ernor to exact some sort of a pieage from the legislators before Ihe session Is called If legislation other than the matter In hand is not to be handled.

The indications were last night thnt the storm would continue with re newed vigor. During the night rain fell Incessantly and the wind howled along at a hfgh rate of speed. The big blow of Sunday- night de stroyed an old landmark in thie city when It blew down a pear tree at the Trenchard homestead on Bond street.

"On the trip up, "said Mr. Peters, and Mr. Peters appeared to be sane, "Captain Lawson made wild proposals to me. On one occasion he requested me to furnish him with laudanum to that he might take It and never wake up- Other expressions, equally uncall ed for, were of frequent occurrance. "During the heaviest gale we en. countered and at U o'clock at night a collision with a white "hulled schooner was only averted by not following the captain's orders. On that occasion vessel on the tame track at our own, suddenly loomed up and Captain Law- son ordered 'down wheel' With an oath First Mate Ryan hurried up and reversed the order thereby saving u all from certain disaster.

R. are using marked precautions to protect the passengers and to provide every comfort possible for 'therrf during the embarrassment that attends the opera tion of the road through the slides near Busby. The earth, loosened up by the big plast, continues to slip down on the track, but in spite of the obstruction transfers have been successfully made with the exception of Monday evening I when the train with Its passengers ana baggage was obliged to return to this city. On that occasion a fresh slide occured at about the time the train. reached the objectionable spot and it was apparent that to travel on foot across the mast of mud would be Im possible. -Yesterday the steamer Jor dan was brought (nto requisition and the transfer was made on her both at noon and at night. This will continue until the track Is prepared tor travel and the danger of sliding earth is erad icated.

Marchods deposed that he was a far mer arid what fishing he did was for the Immediate use of his family. It was explained to him. however, mai the law did not operate to the ex elusion of hit case even should his statement proved literally true, and when it developed on tot) of this that he had actually disposed of a flsh for pecuniary compensation, the court showed no hesitation In imposing the fine. In doing so Justice Goodman made clear to the defendant that while his case would enlist considerable sym pathy, he nevertheless could have voided all the trouble by taking out a license which would have required an outlay of the trifling sum of $1. As it was Mr. Marchods separated himself from $58.90, fine and costs. w w mm 1 TodflrPi PftgrAREO BY this meant of giving an Informal re ception In tht Sunday school room, where they will welcome frlendt and strangers fret of charge.
