ENGOTIATiONSATASTANDSTILL Roanoke and Breakwater Leave Out foi California Teddy Roovelt Launch Being "Dressed Up" Movements of Local Craft Local Notes. SAN FRAXCISOO, June 8.-The long series of negotiation which preceded the water front strike, seems be a bar to any compromise between the dissatisfied sailors and the steamship owners. No advance has been made on the part of either, and the situation remains the tame today as it has been since the out set, except that it has been aggravated in a slight degree by some of the owners who manner their vessels with non union crews. The steamship Roanoke arrived down from Portland yesterday morning with her hold crammed full of general cargo, and sixty-two cabin passengers and seven in the steerage. She took on the following cabin people at this port : Mrs. G. C. Olcut, P. H. Rinn, J. Lane, N. Urquhart, A. Xiemi and J. Corrie, for San Francisco; and E. H. Dowell and F. Hawthorn for San Diego. She left out at noon for Eureka San Francisco and Saa Pedro. j The handsome motor launch Teddy ! Roosevelt, is lying at the 0. R. & X. ' pier being fitted up with her cabin equip-' jnent of curtains, lineoleum, and other furniture, and will leave up early thisj morning for the headquarters of her owners, Messrs. Lamont, Crane & Ken- j nedy, of the Miller's Sands Fishing Com pany, who were down yesterday prepar ing for her adornment. " They are very ' proud of the boat and she will be, when ' complete and in service, one of the finest ' launches on the lower Columbia, not only in a working capacity, but as a plea-sure boat, and a hummer for making time. j The schooner Omega left out yesterday 1 for Saa Francisco, with 700,000 feet of lumber loaded at the Simpson mills at Knappton. j The barkentine Mary Winkleman tailed into port yesterday, direct from San Pedro, and will load lumber out for San Francisco at Portland. The steamer Telegraph arrived down on time yesterday with a good passeng er list, and some freight, and went back with a dozen people from Astoria.

HOLD 20,000,000 GALLONS At Meeting Last Night Commission Agrees That Big Reserve Sup ply of Water is Necessary For the City. It was definitely decided last evening at the meeting of the water commission to construct the big reservoir to contain 20,000,000 gallons, and work toward this end was started when a resolution intro duced by Judge Trent-hard, to call for bids for the clearing of the eleven acre tract, was introduced and passed unani mously by all present. Bids for the pro posed excavation will be called for at a later date. The construction of this big reservoir was deemed necessary as the present growth of the city will soon demand a much largrr amount of water than the existing reservoirs can supply. Two years will be necessary according to the engi neer's figures to complete the new reser voir. The report of the clerk for May was read and filed. The treasurer's statement for May, showing a balance on hand of $13,296.05 was read and ordered filed. The monthly report of the Superin tendent was read and filed.

The superintendent reported that the cost of installing a six-inch main from Taylor and Kensington avenues around Smith's Point to the Central Door and Lumber Company's mill would be $640. the distance being 3200 feet. The super intendent was instructed to put in the main providing the mill would agree to pay $15 a month for the ue of the water. A communication was received from the park commission stating that the road adjoining the water commission's property was caving in, and that the commission take some action in the premises. The superintendent was there upon instructed to attend to the mat ter. A petition was read from the property owners living in the vicinity of Columbia and Alameda avenues in Taylor's As toria, asking for the installation of a water main from the west end of Bond street along Columbia avenue to its in tersection with Alameda, and that as soon a Alameda is completed to con tinue it to Ilwaco avenue. There were twenty-nine signatures to the petition and the commission instructed the clerk to inform the property owners that the commission was favorable to the request and would act as soon as the street wa' improved. A petition from the property owners living on Hume avenue for the instal lation of a water main, was referred to the superintendent and Commissioner Brix for investigation and a rvport at next meeting.

The commiion hus been looking around for other quarters for the superintendent's offices for some time, and the construction of the new fire engine house wa considered a god chance to provide a change from the present quarters, provided the council would consent to the scehme. A SEAWALL SEANCE Group of Representatives Meet With Engine ars. FIRST STfPTAKhN YESTERDAY Messrs. Young and Kslcey Confer on the Big Problem Make Superficial Review of Route Many Apt Suggestions Made. Promptly at 2 o'clock yesterday after noon, In obedience to the call made by Chairman Ros, of the sub committee of the Seawall conference, a group of about thirty-five representative citizens gath ered at the Chamber of Commerce rooms on Bond street, to meet, and confer with, Colonel VTillard Young and his partner. F. C. Kelcey, the civil engineers, of Portland, who were here upon the in vitation of the sub-committee, to discuss the preliminaries of the big enterprise; and after the introductions of the hour has been made and the meeting settled down to business, Chairman Ross asked scope. Colonel Young showed he was not the project, in a general way, and he complied. While, as was expected, he wa non committal as to the extent and purposes of the citizens here on this particular score, Colonel Young showed he was not without a very tangible idea of the proposition and spoke to the point in all he had to say. He dealt largely with the co-incidental interests of the Astoria & Columbia River Railroad Company, in the project and counselled a plain under standing between the city and the com pany as a pre requisite to the launching of the work. If they were te work to gether for the accomplishment of the improvement which was so essential to both, a clear and definite understanding was imperative; and none the less so f the two parties in interest were to act independently. Upon his conclusions in the matter, and knowing the relative importance of the seawall to both, he advised that they operate together if pos sible. Thw was the substawe of his initial talk on the subject; and he then spoke in an indirect fashion, in answer to a series of questions pertinent to the matter in hand, from which it was de duced that simply nothing definite nor (conclusive could be said of the scope, cost and plans of the work, until some working predicate had been laid, in some way, by some one, that would be ac ceptable to the citizens and its commit tee. One thing he did say, and that was, that when the new fill was in, it would not be safe nor wise, to build a building of other material than wood, such as brick, iron, or concrete, without going to the old time-level with piling driven for initial foundation and then raise the ir-al foundation upon bed; that only a light wooden structure would remain intact upon the new land. The up-shot of the meeting wa the success of a motion made by C. A. Cool Mge, that the sub-committee, together with Messrs. Young and Kelcey, go over the proposed route of the first section of the seawall, from the Parker House to the O. R. & N. piers, and endeavor to reach an estimate of the cost of plans and specifications for the doing of the work, either on basis of wooden bulk head, or rock filling, or both, and that the committee report in the premises at a meeting to be called by the chairman. The meeting of yesterday was very in teresting and showed conclusively that mill a the citizens of Astoria are alive to the value of the enterprise, though they me not yet a unit on the Mope and plans for it; but there is an evident willing nes on all sides to meet the situation when a plan is determined upon, and it is hoped the result of the review by Messrs. Young and Kelcey and the com mittee will In- productive of a logical basis of action. Earthquake and fir views, tonight, al free, at Odd Fellows' Hall.
