Mr. Buchanan was expert ii.fr tho Ornnt county's books at the time of the suicide. It Is understood that Brlgadler-Gen ernl Funston and a party of other army officers are to come to Astoria on Tuea day for the purpose of viewing the the bar dredtce Chinook. The party will make the trip In a special train and will proceed to the mouth of the river perhaps on one of the light house tenders. Whether or not General Funston will remain In Astoria to meet prominent citizens here has not been learned. Matt Mattson was yesterday sur rendered to Sheriff Llnvllle by his brother and the man was taken to Sa lem last night to be treated at the asylum for the Insane. Mattson was arrested on a charge of Insanity some days ago and adjudged Insane. His brother expressed a desire to care for him for a time, at least, and the com missioners granted the request. The man's condition did not Improve nnd he was turned over to the sheriff yes terday. He la a religious lunatic. It is stated elsewhere In The Astorlan this morning, in a San Francisco dis patch, that the transport Buford will not come to the Columbia, but that she will be held at San Francisco. Tho Telegram gives another story regarding this vessel. According to the Portland paper, the Buford left San Francisco yesterday morning for the Columbia nnd Is due to arrive tomorrow. It Is added that she will take on 600 ma rines, who have been sent out from eastern recruiting stations. The Bu ford Is also to take a partial cargo of lumber. This statement contradicts the San Francisco dispatch appearing in the marine column. , The report of the experts who have been' at work on the books of the county, have been filed, but will not bo mado public until the county court meets again, Tho report l said to peak In flattering terms of the county officers here, who are aald to employ a aystem that la not excelled in the west. The sherlffa office Is said to come In for especial praise. The re port shows that there has been a dlff arence of but 71 cents In the sheriffs office out of a collection of more than 1130,0011 The report covers the work of the county officials for the year 1393 and the experts, who work In all of the northwestern states, are regarded as the most competent Judges of the systems employed In the several coun ties.. , ,., ' Judge McBrtde yesterday handed down two decisions In damage suits In the case of William Martin against Captain John Held, for 3S000 damages for alleged alienation of the plaintiff's wtfe'a affectlona, the court granted the motion of the defendant's attorney re quiring the plaintiff to strike out por tions of the complaint. An amended complaint has been filed and the de fendant given until Friday to answer. In the case of Charlotte Grlmberg vt. the Columbia River Packers' Associa tion the motion filed for a more definite complaint was overruled. . The motion was Intended to require the plaintiff to state the name of that portion of the rigging of the ship St. Nicholas from which her husband fell to his death while on a trip down from Alaska. ; The members of the city council and other officials are particularly request ed by President J. W. Welch to be present at the special meeting to be held In the Chamber of Commerce room on next Tuesday evening, to consider the sea wall proposition. All property owners are erpected to attend, as the project Is of vital Interest to them. It Is proiosed to construct a restraining wall or bulk head on or near the harbor line In front of the city and to fill In the flats with earth from the hills, thereby enhancing the value and ap pearance of bath the higher and lower portions of the city and making both more permanent. 1 Five chairs at the Occident barber shop. Vou do not have to wait. Only first class barbers Baths. Washington's birthday will be gen erally observed In this city tomorrow. All the school children will enjoy a vocation, which doubtless makes them doubly grateful that there ever wns such a man ' as George Washington, and the grocery stores will not do bus iness in the afternoon. Up until 12 o'clock, noon, however, business as usu al will be transacted. Then the doors will be closed and for the rest of the day nothing will be sold. This arrange ment Is In accordance with an agree ment reached by the Retail Grocers' Association, and will be strictly adher ed to. No especial plan has been ad opted by other lines of business, but It Is asumed that the action of the James McCabe was up before Police Judge Anderson yesterday for disor derly conduct. Ladles residing In the vicinity of the McClure school phoned to police headquarters that a man was annoying them and Police Captain Gamnial went to investigate. He rounded up McCabe. The ladles com plained ihat the man had been In the neighborhood for several days and that he had greatly frightened them, as well as little children. Of course Mr. McCabe said it was a case of mistaken Identity. He denied having visited the neighbor hood previously to the visit on which he was arrested; said he had been em ployed on the Chinook and had a good Job in sight, and that he was an honest, hard-working man, who would not for the world be guilty of Infraction of the law. He wanted a chance to get back to work. Judge Anderson fined him $40. but agreed, to suspend sentence on condition that he leave the city. For this kindness he tendered the most pro fuse thanks. t Another mail carrier is needed In the east end and a petition will be cir culated among the interested residents thljB week praying for the desired relief. The petition will be filed with Post master Reed, who in turn will submit the proposal with the department at Washington. There is little doubt that another carrier will be appointed. At the present time there is but one car rier , covering the district from Sehol fleid's store to the eastern limit, and residents along the line are greatly an noyed by the service rendered. The complaint Is occasioned solely by the fact that the work Is too much for one man. Mall Is often delayed In delivery for 48 hours, according to statements made yesterday by one of the residents of the Alderbrook suburb. "New peo ple are constantly moving In. building Is going on and the section generally Is gaining In importance," he said, j "One carrier can not cover the ground, j and there is no reason wny another should not be appointed. The nost ofliee people will doubtless look at the matter as we do, and as soon ss the department Is communicated with by Mr. Reed we expect to get the desired service." ' ' ' , '. NO TROUBLE FROM CHINESE. Lots of 'Em, But Wheeler Seys They Lack Leadership. New York, Feb. 20. Major-General Joseph Wheeler, after reviewing a squadron of the state guard at their armory here, has delivered a brief ad dress on his views of the war between Russia and Japan. He compared the strength of their armies and their r ources and reached the conclusion that Russia is likely to win in the long run. "I believe that the Chinese, organ ized and under good officers, would make he said, "as good soldiers as any In the world. They are brave and en during and seem to enjoy a fight. 'There are 400,000,000 or them and a tremen dous army could be raised there. Those people could make a march and occupy any part of Europe that they chose. However, we need not worry about that Just yet." - s Stock Activity Subsides. ' Utw York, Feb. 20, The stock mar ket has been In a state of suspended animation during the week. New de velopments have been rather adverse to values but the pressure to sell has been Insignificant. Efforts of traders to put prices up have demonstrated the nar row limits of the market in either di rection. The war, the railroad com petition over grain rates, decrease In railroad earnings, Imminence of the Northern Securities decision and a number of minor Influences overhang the stock market and repress all specu lative activity.
