Several other matters of Importance are to be brought be fore the meeting for consideration. A special meeting of the Commer cial Club wll be held tomorrow night for the purpose of hearing the report of the committee appointed to revise the constitution and by-laws. The committee will recommend that the Upon the result of today's ball game between the Commercial and jWamnton teams depends possession age limit of members be raised to 21, of a considerable sum of coin. There The run of fish fell oft again yester day and poor catches were reported. The river is full of mud and until the water clears salmon will be scarce. IL 8. McOowan, who was over, from the north shore yesterday, said, t when aaked about the Ashing situation "There are no fish. The river is too muddy for salmon, and until It clears flsh will continue to be scarce." Seln era reported that they' were doing practically nothing because of the muddy water, it was hoped the run of flsh would be good from this time on, but Jbe condition of the water up setthe calculations of those Inter ested in the Industry. Tne big log raft wbich was con structed at Stella, Wash., will prob ably be towed to sea today. The raft has bean completed for some time, and today will be brought down the river by two river steamers, the Game cock and the Henderson. The ocean going steamer Francis IL Leggett will take th raft in tow at Astoria and proceed south with it If the raft is brought down in time, it will be towed to sea at 11 o'clock, when the tide Is high this morning. The monster boom contains something like 1,000,000 feet of logs and is destined for San Fran Cisco. but that the Junior members be at lowed the use of the gymnasium. In view of the fact that the matter Is one of considerable Importance, a full attendance Is desired. When the bulletins came in last evening snnounclng that Judge Par ker was displeased with the platform greatexcltement prevailed among those of the unterrlfled who were downtown and read the dispatches Men who an hour previously had been drinking Parker's health, changed their minds tn a moment, and soon there was a general hope that the convention would elect some other man. "Why can't any democrat stand on that platform r demanded the angry democrats. If Parker is a gold man, why doesn't he acquiesce In the wilt of the conven tion that the money issue Is deadr The bulletins were eagerly read, and the crowd that stayed out until mid night went home expressing the hope has been much betting on the game, which Is being looked upon as the best of the season. The Commercial team will have difficulty in holding Its own against the visiting aggregation, which Is to be made up of some of the best players around this part of the coun try. McDcrmott will pitch if his arm Is in shape; if not Ray will occupy the box. Dick Halderman will offl elate Just behind the batter's box. The home team will, have Morton do ite throwing and Ferguson will catch him Morton recently pitched a great game against South Bend, letting down that team with five hits, and he Is ex pected to be rather atingy today' with the Warrenton crowd. The game will be called at 2: SO. Senator Fulton was quite badly hurt Friday evening while watching a base ball gome at Van Dusen field.

Chairman Burns of the street committee stated yesterday that the council would go ahead with the legislation necessary, but that the con tractor would be Instructed to not pro ceed with the Improvement until after the carnival has been held. The coun ell Is very much opposed to having the street torn up during regatta week. Had the property owners agreed upon the manner of Improvement the street could easily have been repaired before the carnival. At the adjourned ses sfon of the council nothing. was said about the contemplated petition for the Improvement of Exchange street east of Seventeenth, but it is thought a petition for the work wilt be pre sented a week from tomorrow night The call for the meeting of the del egates to the Oregon Development League will be Issued within a few days by Tom Richardson, manager of the Portland Commercial Club's ded velopment department. Four Astoria organizations the Commercial Club, Chamber of Commerce, Push Club and Irving Cub will be entitled to repre sentation. The meeting will be one of the most important in the commer clal history of the state, as it is the purpose to form a league that will work for all sections of Oregon. Some of the local fans are evincing great Interest in the outcome of the Pacific coast league contest and the scores are read every evening as soon as they are received by The Astorlan. A few nights ago a prominent ad mlrer of the Seattle team announced at a late hour that he was willing to wager Seattle bad beaten Oakland. Because of the rush of political mat ter that was coming over the wires, the bail scores were delayed, so the Seattle fan and a number of others commenced betting. Two of the gen tlemen were particularly anxious to wager, and finally both had up all the money they could borrow at that hour 1:15 a. m. "Well," said one, "I guess you're 'clean now, aren't you?" "Financially, yes; but I still have my hat,' was the reply. So then and there hats were wagered. About IS mln- utes later the ball scores came along and It was found that Seattle had won handily from Oakland. The Seattle fan therefore got all the money and proceeded to take from his friend the hat which had been wagered. The loser went home hatless, declaring he would even scores at some future time. : THE BEST RANGE IN THE WORLD Is the Monarch It is made of malleable steel and will never break.

One of the most pleasing features of the conference has been the vocal muslo under the lead ership of Professor Sperati of Taco ma, the well known vocalist Pro fessor Sperati brought to Astoria a trained chorus of 14 voices and the renditions by the chorus were pro nounced to have been the very finest ever heard in the city.

Stub will occupy the pulpit tonight and will preach in English! , MANY ARE DISSATISFIED Some Democrats Do Not Take Kindly . , to Parker's Nomination. "How does Parker suit you?" This question was asked and an swered hundreds of times in Astoria yesterday, Republicans put the query to their democratic friends because they knew he nomination of the New York jurist was the most remarkable event which has transpired within the democratic party for a long.Iong time. Democrats asked each other because many of them knew the nominee would nut nrove generally satisfactory. And so the question was asked and an swered. The magnificent struggle at the convention commanded the inter est of republicans and democrats alike, and the papers were eagerly read. Many Are Dissatisfied. Many democrats are undeniably die satisfied. Few were found yesterday who declared that they would not sup port the candidate, but scores said they were not enthusiastic. Others, renresentln the local conservative element, were delighted at the turn of affairs. Many of these conserva tives stayed at home when Bryan was the candidate the second time. The nomination of Parker put them in po sition again to vote, and they were elated in consequence. , But the number, of satisfied con servatives Is woefully small as com pared with the number of disturbed radicals. The latter had vigorously taken to task the former because of their refusal to support Bryan, and they could not logically say they would not support Parker; they still remem bered their cry of "treachery." So they contented themselves with the Uiament that they were not over Joyed. ( There are two elements in the party that always make themselves heard. One element is anxious to win, no matter what the means necessary to bring about success. The other wants to win on old-time principles and is sues. Both these elements are large, and yesterday the luke-warm ones were telling the enthusiasts that Par ker was not as good a man as might have been named. What Democrats 8ay of It W. J. Cook Parker suits me exact ly. He Is just the man I believe can be successful. Because I am person ally acquainted with McClellan, I pre ferred him, but I am satisfied Parker will get the full support of those In terests essential to success. Why, there will be no dearth of campaign money the Oregonlan has some of it already! I believe Parker can be elected Police Judge Anderson The voters have little choice between Roosevelt ndt Parker. To my mind, it doesn' make any difference which of the two Is elected. I am not at all pleased with the action of the convention. Councilman Lebeck I am not pleas ed with the action of the convention. The democrats should have nominated Hearst He alone of the men avail ble could have been elected. I will vote for Judge Parker, but there will not be any enthusiasm In my support Representative-elect Laws Judge Parker suits me. ' While I believe Pat- tlson of Pennsylvania would have been stronger candidate, still Parker will make an excellent run. The action of the convention meets with my en thusiastic approval. Herman Wise Parker is my man. He will command the sinews of war and will be the nominee to receive the substantial support which is neces sary. I am delighted with the action of the convention, believing that it selected a man who can be elected. Because of the heavy fog which hung over the mouth of the river yes terday the bar dredge Chinook was unable to work. The Chinook went outside the bar early in the morning, but It was impossible to see for more than 60 or 75 yards, and the attempt to dredge was abandoned. The pre vious day the Chinook made only two or three trips out to sea, being brought back in to the river on ac count of the heavy swell She has been working steadily for some weeks past and Is believed to have accom plished much good. Soundings taken from the dredge show an approximate depth of four fathoms, or 24 feet which Is vastly more than previous sound ings had shown. The Mendell is now making a survey for the department and nothing official will be given out until she finishes her work. SUNDAY EXCURSION.
