All that remains of the Ill-fated ItaN (an bark Cavour is a small piece of her bull, which is lying high and dry on Sand island. All other wreckage has been washed away, and, apart from the small piece of hull, perhaps 15 feet in length, there Is absolutely nothing to bear witness to the loss of the vessel. The bark Went ashore at 7 o'clock'on Tuesday night, and parties who visited the scene jof the wreck the following morning could Bee no sign of wreckage with the exception here noted. The old vessel poijnded to pieces during the aarly-honrs of the morning, and by daylight was completely broken up. The lumber from the Cavour is being washed up along the lower harbor beach and an effort is to be made to recover it. The Astoria Lumber Com pany has purchased all right to the cargo and whatever may be left of the ship, and has warned persons against appropriating the property to them selves. , : - '.. -' Manager George Barker, of the Com medcial ' Club football te.m, . was In Portland yesterday conferring with the Multnomah eleven regarding"-.th 'big game schedule for next Sunday.' The Portlanderl are by no means 6ver-coiy fldent )f victory.! They realize' that Astoria has a strong aggregation and say so. The string of Victories that the Commercials" "have !to' their credit has won for them recognition throughout the northwest, and the favorable men tion the team has received has not es caped the Multnomah eleven. They manifest great Interest in the forth coming contest, which they say will be a haid-f ought one. There is no cer tainty that Tom Ross will number among the Multnomah players. He suf fered a slight injury in the recent game played between the medical and den tal students, and it is thought prob able that this will prevent him from 4aking part In the oontest. The game will be the largest attended one of any played here this season, as the -whole town, seemingly, la interested. The kick-off will be at 2:30, and 60 cents will be charged to spectators.

Abercromble's friends are congratulating him upon' th fact of his defeat Wednesday, and Mr. Aber crombie himself realizes that the result of the election was all for the best. The particular reason for the congratula tions lie in the fact that the years im mediately following graduation from a law or other school are those in "which the destinies of a young man are shaped, and there are many who res pect Mr, Abercromble very nigniy, who, for his sake, voted against him at the election yesterday.
