Melting Away Like a Snowball in June. Facts are stranger than fiction. Public Indorsement a real virtue. Skeptics concerted. The high stand ard of honor of the old reliable rises still higher. When S. Danziger & Co. consummated the lease of the entire building of which they now occupy the corner part, it was startling and dismayed visionary competition but when the firm announced that It would refit and remodel the building and oc cupy the entire main floor, giving to the people of Astoria one of the larg est and best clothing establishments on the Coast, and that work on the building would commence in February and be rushed to completion in time for spring trade competition brayed like a burro. The announcement that ! 15, 000 worth of men's, boys" fine clothing, shoes, hats and furnishings would be sold at a positive reduction of 25 to 50 per cent off regular prices was the starting signal for the largest crowds of people that ever attended a legiti mate sacrifice of fine clothing In old Astoria. Immense as the stock is, the piles of goods are melting away like a snowball on a summer day. The sale is now at its very height of glory and offers the best money saving oppor tunities on fine goods that has ever been your good fortune to have thrown at your mercy. Avoid the crowds and come in the forenoon. OVERTURES REFUSED. Fall River Strikers and Emolovert Are Obdurate. Boston, Jan. 14.

R. & N. Pa cific fleet arrived yesterday 18 days out from Yokohama. The captain re ports a very stormy passage with some weather about 160 E. that compelled him to heave to. He also says that he laid for three days outside the Colum bia bar, but the pilots discredit this statement, as they say that they saw nothing of the liner. The news of the fall of Port Arthur was given them by Pilot Staples when he went aboard, and the officers and passengers were much surprised, as there was no Intimation of an early fall of the fort when they left the orient. The Aragonia encoun tered no war vessels on her voyage. Dr. Earle gave them a clean bill of health and the steamer left up the river last night for Portland. The Alliance arrived In yesterday from Coos Bay and Eureka with a full cargo and passenger list. The steamer Olympia, supposed to be contraband laden for Vladivostok, left Portland yesterday.

The steam schooner Despatch and WASHINGTON NEWS (Continued from page one.) at something that happened in Alex andretta, and pulled the American flag down from where it was flying over the consulate. Of course, the Turks got mad mad as hatters.
