Willard Company Plays to a Packed House Last Night at the Star. The performance last night of "Hickr'y Farm" was certainly a huge success and deserves every compliment that can be bestowed on a real downright mentor ious performance. The story of "Hickr'y Farm ia in itself a very beautiful story of New England Folks, embracing the simnls and ingenious life of the o'd . t Puritan stock of New England. Mr. Wlllard, as Exekiel Fortune, the honest, simple, old farmer, was the most trust to life characterization, that has ever been witnessed on the stage in Astoria. It is indeed hard to express the complimentary opinion that Mr. Willard deserves, for the most artistic interpretation of the character he played in "Hkkr'y Farm" last night. Mr. Blanchard, as Lauranee McKee pan, aad Miss Gerschel, in the part of Priscilla Dodge, carried the audience of their feet in appreciation. Mr. Morton, as Uriah Skinner, the miser, was most excellent in hi9 work looking an acting the part to perfection. Mr. Layton, as Gilbert Darkwood, did some excellent heavy work, as also did Mr. Elton in the part of Jack. Miss Iva Shepard, as Jessie Fortune, shows really great capabilities, especial ly as regards her emotional work. All told "Hiekr'y Farm made a huge suc cess last night, sending everyone home feeling that they had enjoyed themselves to the limit. SCOTT MAY TESTIFY. SAN FRANCISCO, August 13.

Then down on the sands In the direction which the assassin took the crowd poured. Every avenue of escape was closed. It was generally understood, through the voice of a ringleader, self elected, that the man who fired the shots should be handed from a pole in Surf avenue.

WATERFRONT Vermont Arrives for Lumber, Hence to hon$ Kong. HASSALO HAS A SNAPPY FIRE Big Fleet Moving Across the Columbia Bar Roanoke in From Southern Ports Alliance Out This Morn ingOdds and Ends. The docking of the large British steamer Vermont at the Tongue Point Lumber Comnny's mill yesterday, where she will load 1,200,000 feet of lumber, in part cargo for China, marks an epoch in the shipping industry of Astoria, ami is a step towards the time when this port will be the recognized foreign ship ping centre of the Northwest. The Vermont is the first steamer of foreign tonnage that has ever loaded out of Astoria. That she will not be the last however is shown in the fact that already a number of large exporting firms of Portland, notably among which are Balfour, Guthrie St, Company, have begun to take notice of Astoria's most advantageous position over any inland port in Oregon, and have, signified their intention of loading moat of the large carriers here instead of Portland, there by saving the cost of pilotage, and the other innumerable expenses of penetrat ing over 100 miles inland. Mr. Hume, of the Tongue Point Lumber Company, stated yesterday that the Vermont is only the first of other large steamers which his company will endeavor to en gage to load lumber in Astoria. The Vermont will be here about eight days, after which she will complete the re mainder of her immense cargo in Port land by means of lighters, as is custom ary there. An interesting fact in con nection with the crew on the Vermont, is that of the 30 Chinese who constitute it, all have been with the ship for the past four years. As the steamer Hassalo was making her landing at the O. R. A X. pier early on Sunday morning last, in this city, the casing around the funnel, near the ceiling of the main cabin was discovered to be in flames, and an alarm of fira was rung on the steamer, and all hands flew to their respective stations and be gan the work of suppressing the fire in good shape. The passengers who were about to disembark over the gangway, were a good ileal upset for a few mo ments but were soon quieted by the as surance that it was simply a fire drill, and went ashore without more ado. The fire was soon out, but not until the woodwork of the big casing was bndlv scorched and carpets nnd bediling had been subjected to a thorough soaking. The greater damage being done by water. The soars from the incident will be speedily obliterated and she will not lose any time on her sfhedules. She had her hose in full play from four stations in forty seconds. There is trouble brewing for the long shoremen's union here if they do not find some more reasonable and placable sec retary, or representative, than the one who purports to stand for them at pres ent. He pulled the working gang off while they were busy unloading the Costa Rica, on Sunday evening last, for the same reason that, because there were not enough union men to despatch the work, Agent Roberts had called in several outsiders and put them to work. Mr. Roberts promptly ordered the leader off the pier, and forbade him coming back on it, but this order does not affect the men of the union, who are al ways welcome on the dock for work or other purposes. It is time they elected an American citizen to attend to their affairs and represent them in the des patch of their relations with the busi ness and business men of the port. The bark Coloma came into port on Sunday last, direct from Santa Rosalia, Mexico, and will go to Port, for lum ber, but for jut what destination, is not yet known. Five days out from her port of departure, Captain Johnson discovered a stowaway on board, a party by the name of Herman Klint, 32 years old, an able seaman, who claims to be an American citizen, having been naturalized at Tacoma, but having lost his papers. ' This will be referred to the Tacoma authorities, and if true, he will lie released, and will go out on the Co loma as second officer on the outward trip; if not, he will be deported direct to Sweden, his native land. The bark Coloma, which arrived in Astoria yesterday is one of the oldest and best known carriers on this coast, having been built at Warren, R, I., in 1809, and coming almost directly to the j Pacific Coast. During the early 70' she was employed in the oriental trade. plying between Portland and China. At this time the Chines exclusion act was not in effeet, and the Coloma, used to carry merchandise from the coast to China, and ou her return be loaded down with cwlie. Captain Xoyes, now dV ceased, and prominent aiming the ship ping fraternity on the coast commanded the bark during these early days. The J. MK'raoken Company of Portland were the ship's charterer.
