There have long ben rumors afloat

Nw Phases.
Colorado Springs, Col.. Dec. 21.
The police are a far from a clue to
the solution of the Cutler mountain
mystery as ever, but the effort are
being redoubled. The last clew that
waa In trielr hands played out this
morning, when Ona D. Hoyt, a pretty
hairdresser, living in thla city, and who
waa reported to have disappeared, was
found safe at her room In the Clinton
hotel.
Inquiries continue to come from
other cities for a detailed description
of the dead girl, but In no case has the
sending of the description resulted In
the receipt of further Information or
Inquiry,
The coroner has In his possession no
less than 40 hairpins that were taken
out of the coll of hair that was on the
head of the deal girl, or picked up at
the scene of the attempted cremation
of the body. These hairpins are all of
stiff wire, there being no small, flexl
ble ones, and the number and strength
of the pins are taken to Indicate thnt
the growth of hnlr was unusually
heavy.
At their meeting today the county
commissioners will offer a reward of
$1000 for the arrest and conviction of
the murderer. The excitement In ee
community over the crime I growing
dally, a demand being made to run
down the crime. Talk of lynching of
the murderer, should he be found, was

New York. Dec. 21. After a stormy
voyage, during which she was struck
by a tidal wave, the steamship Kroon
land arrived today from Antwerp. The
voyage was the worst the vessel, ever
experienced. There was nothing but
bad weather from the time she left
Antwerp on the 10th until she was al
most Into port.
O nthe morning of the 12th the
Kroonlnnd was struck by a tidal wave
which brought her to a standstill and
sent tons of water tumbling over her
decks. The officers of the Kroonland
say that the water, when the wave
struck, sprung high above the funnels.
and sweDt the hurricane deck. The
officer on the bridge would have been
carried away but for the fact that he
took a wrap around the rail with his
belt when he saw the giant sea coming.

Washington, Dec. 21.-Presldent j ronfPWnc Senator PfitfeWB p,att ",d

Granville Reed, whose term expire, on, re.eiection of DepeW. fcf Dnw..
January 7. At the short session of the i '
senate yesterday the nomination was
confirmed. ' '.. : ,
Hon. John Hahn has resided In As
toria for the past 30 year, and al
though not taking an active part In
politic he ha been more or less Iden
tified with the business development of
the city. He ha served one term a
mayor and two term in the state leg
islature.., At the sessioi) In which Hon.
C. W. Fulton was nominated as United
States senator he took an active part.
and it was due in a great measure to
his Influence that Mr. Fulton was suc
cessful. In recognition of these serv
ices, it is understood that he wa the
choice of Senator Fulton for the poai
tion of postmaster. He received the
unanimous Indorsement of the Oregpn
delegation, and being a gentleman of
unimpeachable character, hla appoint
ment was made. - Mr. Hahn will re
ceive his commission by the first of
January, but will not probably enter
upon the discharge of his duties before
Fabruary 1. The appointment of Mr.
Hahn will meet with popular favor.
He is one of the most enic prising busi
ness men of the city, identified with
the growth and prosperity of the city
and county; a man of strict integrity
and possesses the necessary qualifica
tions for the Important position to
which he has been appointed.
The Astorian published two weeks
ago that Mr. Hahn would be appointed,
and our predictions have been verri
fled. There were several applicants for
the position, and the appointment of
Mr. Hahn is a recognition of his valu
able services rendered in securing the
election of Senator Fulton.
