WASHINGTON, July 10, (Special)
Washington just now is in the midst of
one of those commercial revivals which
have marked the history of the capitol
almost from the beginning. An asocia
tkn of business men is agitaing the
question of establishing wholesale job
bing houses with a view to rapturing
from Baltimore and Richmond a share
of the trade of the south. The city has
been much stirred up. the railroads have
become Interested, and there has been
an echo of answering activity in Balti
more. , ,f j,,'- ',. -7 ';-"" A ,
Just what will become of this present
movement is hard to predict. There al
ways have been two factions in Wash
ington, one opposed to commercializing
the city and the other strenuously for
it. There have been frequent attempts
by the latter faction to 'secure the loca
tion ' of manufacturing Industries here.
but the opposition of the "city beautiful'
element has prevented any great meas
ore of i(ce The same arguments
cannot bo employed againt the estab
lishraent of jobbing houses that have
prevailed against factoriesand for this
reason the chances that the "commercial
ists" will succeed would seem to be bet
ter.
FIREMEN. STRIKE.
NEW YORK, July 10. The firemen of

FOARD
& STOKES CO.
The following communication relative
to this year's regatta has been received,
nd contains much of wisdom and sound
sense;
buitor Aitonun: would It nut be a
good idea to have -this year's regatta,
industrial fair or whatever you may
call it, a little different from former
events?
The most successful features of last
year's regatta were the illuminated river
parade, the farmers' fair, country dunce
nd small sports upon' the water; these
should be duplicated with the addition
a street carnival and a few new
features, all of which could be pulled
ff at an expense of from $2300 to
flOOO. While the outside yacht clubs
nd bands cost too much.
The main objects of the regatta have
been to give the people of and around
Astoria a holiday and those who know
say that outside of the admirals, com
modores and the 50 or less sportsmen
ho participate in races and whose ex
penses have to be paid, very few Port
land people have come here, except those
who happen to be at the beaches.
The business people have been called
upon to subscribe to the San Francisco
fund the hotel fund and to the Fourth
of July fund, in all, for about $14,000,
and it seems that a more reasonable
celebration or? hewer lines would be a
welcome relief. There is a nice balance
left from last year's regatta a street
carnival, country dance and similar fea
tures would bring a snug sum, so that a
subscription from the saloons, restaur
ants and those stores that have not sub
scribed to the hotel fund would eaxily
bring enough. for a splendid exhibition.
If the yacht clubs and rowing clubs of
the coast would race for cups and for
sports sake it would be all right, but
when it comes to paying their expenses
and putting up big cash prizes, then it
is time to make a change.
When our fishermen get,throngh with
four months' sailing upon the river they
want fun, and land sports, and an ex
hibit of. farm products, country dances
and such, will suit them to a T. .
