Astoria has passed her first "diy Sunday, and from all appearance, is none the worse for the experience. Busi ness is humming along just the same; the people are all in their accustomed places looking cheerful and doing their stunts in office, shop, factory, mill and other lines of service and interest; there is no growling about the new rule; all band seem to take it as a matter of course, and no threats are heard of breaking, testing, or defying the regulation. It's alright, apparently, an! if it is not, the protest 1ms not yet developed. It's a new fort of feeling down here, but it seems to lie taken by way of re laxation .and change and is eceepted because of the freedom it gives from associations and engagements that were getting bit tiresome, Anyway. There was but little effort, if any, made to circumvent the deprivations of the hour, and the day passed pleasantly enough wish all, even those who had to forge their usual occupations and indulgences. In fact, everybody seems better for the adoption of the law, and the situation promises a steady and ready compliance right along. Of course there are quite a number ou whom the embargo fell with distinct and troublous emphasis and their con test with an ever-vivid thirst was a bit strenuous and waa made manifest fcv a virtuous and prolonged yap against h. inrion of their '-constitutional" riiihts. but this was expected and laugh ed down, and the concensus of public opinion is that "it's aU right and won't h nnvhnnv and had best be con tinued!" AN AMENDMENT NEEDED. The laws of the several states need revision so that jurors may have some thing to report beside straight verdicts of "guilty' and ''not guilty," when they have huge ambiguity to cover and neither of the standard finding will answer their purpose. The old Scotch conclusion of "Not Proven" should be made available for just such issues as were presented in the Haywood case, and it would have filled the bill a whole lot better than the verdict sent to the records. Tbe jury in the Haywood case has undoubtedly done iU whole fluty, and whether it has op not tie matter is ended and accepted so far m they are concerned, being beyond all dispute pub licly or privately in so far as amending it is concerned. But those several gen tlemen will be busy for the next few years explaining the basis of their con clusion, as rendered, to those who had looked for a verdict of "guilty;" and the story will get old and trite and tire some, and will never be taken at it's real value by the disappointed ones who are invariably insistent and contentious. The general belief throughout the coun try, aa far as we can trace it, is that there was truth in Orchard's statement that the "inner circle" of the Western Federation of Miners had criminal in terest and knowledgable concern in the death of Governor Steunenberg; and while the jury did right in not convict ing upon the testimony offered by Or chard unconfirmed as it was by colla teral testimony of weight and value, they, believing there was tacit guilt and direct relation, it being unproven to their satisfaction, they were compelled to return the verdict that did not meet their real conviction and was the only one legally employable. Had they been permitted to use such a verdict us "Not Proven" they would, unquestionably. Believe a Roosevelt Stunt Responsible fot Belief in Move to Send Fleet i Around Horn Ship to be Sent on a Cnitsi in FalL WASHIXGTOX, July 29 Is the send inir of the Atlantic fleet of Pacific wat r merely a huga' Rooseveltlan bluff? Developments here indicate that such is the ease, and corroboration has come from Oyster Bay. The proprietor of a New York newspaper cabled to Vis count Hiashi, minister of foreign affairs at Tokio, asking him the views of the Japanese gorernaient on the proposed transfer lof America s naval power from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean. As might be expected, the diplomatic Jap anese official replied in most concilia tory language. His message had scarce ly come ticking off the cable before what was reported to be an ' official statement was obtained by tbe same newspaper from President Roosevelt, The President is reported to have said that no order has been given to ' the Navy Department to send the battle ship fleet to the Pacific, and that he t:nows of no order to that effect having beer, isued by the general board. 1'. Wis announced that the present phm of he department is to have the batth- ships leave on a cruise early in the Fall, but the destination has not yet been determined and they may not go to the Pacific The statement credited to the President insists that the matter a nothing whateved to do with tlie Japanese, question and closes with tV declaration that absolutely no inter- ational significance cun be attached to The armored cruiser M. Louis. however, is on its way to Pacific waters and is due to reach San Francisco about September 1st. The Navy Department has t'.en infomied that the cruiser has left Montevedio and will next touch at Punta Arenoes in the Straits of Magel lan. Government circles are noting with in terest the tendency of the various Stul.' universities to draw upon tV. capital for special lectures for their summer schools. Mr. C. J. A. Veditz, acting ('rt of the,College of the Poli tcal Sciences of the George Washing ton lflivirsity, left this week for th" University of Illinois, where he will d? iver a course of lectures during rhe summer. This excursion of Dr.. VediU is of tsfecial interest, for the reason tin', he is at the head of a branch of the George Washington University that is turning out skilled help for the con sular service of the United States, and which has been recognised as the lead ing institution of its kind in this coun try, taking rank with the schools of have used it, to their credit, the safety of the defendant, and tbe understanding of the whole reading world. Even a jury is entitled to some refuge against its unsupported convictions in a case like this. o COWARDICE AT CRISIS. A terrific crisis will bring out all the latent bravery, or cowardice, in the souls of those involved in its passage. It is a season for the development of the best and worst in human nature, and the expressions culled from such a juncture may be taken as indicative of the man, or woman, exemplifying them, pure and simple. No excuses are in order for failure to come up to standards of faith, grit, and daring during the hour of peril; they will avail nothing to the pleader when justification is sought for the lashes of the hour of stress. The world denies probation under the circum stance, and one is praised or damned as he or she shall have won out of the strain. Shipwreck Is one of the incidents that reveals the stuff people are made of and the Tecord is, generaly, to the good, for it affords unusual opportunities for demonstration of the nobler quali ties and time for their exercise. But even in disaster at sea. the coward is made conspicuous s in all desperate situations and he is promptly condemned and never forgotten. ONE-THIRD REDUCTION.

Senator Hopkins' announcement, af- tei a conference at nyter Bay, mat nere will lie no tariff revisun ut the coining l uuug esj au uoi iur- lle the country, and certainly caused no surprise here m N asiungton. .no one who is at all familiar with the politi cal situation haa believed that revision will be attempted until after the next election. The "standpatters" are well entrenched, and it is 'likely "that no hanges in the schedules will be made until 1010, during the first session of the Sixty-fir-t Congress. It is cer tain that the Republican party will en deavor to leave out of its phitform en- irely next year the question of revis ion, and although President Kosevelt is reported to have declared mauy times in the course of private conversations that he believed some changes should be made, he has refrained from recom mending such course in his messages because he realizes fully the futility of hoping to accomplish anything now. So if Mr. Hopkins hoped to create a sen sation by his statement, he made a poor guess. Rumors are insistent to the effect that Representative Burton of Ohio will resign his chairmanship of the House Rivers & Harbors Committee in the next Congress. It is said this course will be taken so that he may devote greater time to tbe work of the Inland Waterways Commission, of which he also is chairman. President Roosevelt is reported as being favorable to this plan, for the Commission was created by li'iu just after the close of l!ie last Congress and be is much interested in the entire program of waterway devel opment. This interest is of long stand ing and ba been expi-f'fcod many times, never more clearly than in his addres ses to the convention of the National Rivers & Harbor Congress, the last two of which were held here. On both occasions Mr. Roosevelt applauded the organization for its work in arousing the -American people and Congress to the necessity (or a vigorous national program along such lines of better ments. The National Rivers & Har bors Congress is still maintaining its work in this convention and John A. Fox, its special director, Is now visit ing the cities of the upper Mississippi Valley, to enlist the moral and finan cial support of the people of that rich territory on behalf of the organization and its work. A number of important betterment schemes will bo up for con sideration before the Congress that will convene in December, and the National Rivers 4, Harbors Congress is endeavor ing to increase its membership so that it may be thoroughly representative of the solid shipping anTl business inter- iests of the whole country. VICTIMS Twenty People Are Lost In Death trap. MAYBE BLACK HAND OUTRAGE Bodies of Dead Scarcely Recogniied Cripplo Rescued Only to Die Police and Firemen Risk Lives to Save Those in Buying Building. NKW YORK, July 2!. After an all night search of the mini of the six tory tenement at 2-i Christie Street hortly after midnight the police an nounced that there were twenty victim of the lire. The bodies of the dead were found in all sorts uf unexpected places, where they had fled. Almost all the bodies were burned to such an ex tent that it was impos-iblc to distin guish the ,ex. The majority of the vict ims, the police believe were women and children. Only live of the victims had lieen identified at an early hour today. They were Murlite de Dolie, bis wife Amelia and their two infant children and Frank Fields, a bedridden cripplie who was carried out alive by the fire men, but who had succumbed to his in juries after his rescue. The burned building was one of those oldfashioned tenements of the east side with' a store on the ground floor and the apartments up starirs crowded with tenants, mainly Italians. The fire start ed in the rear and swept through the building with a rush. The people were severely burned or otherwise injured. One man was found wandering defjri ous in the street, suffering intense agony from burns which extended, from head to foot. His clothes had lieen burn ed from his body only here and there, a shred remained attached to the blister ed flesh, Brave work by the police and fiiemen saved many lives, the firemen alone res cuing five persons. It Is thought that the fire was caused by an explosion, a citizen reporting that he heard a loud report and saw tbe stor window crack and fall to pieces. If this is true, it is possible Hint the great) loss of life -is due to "black hand" outrage. i; s WHITE The best sewing machin one the market x I Robinson Furniture Store Sole agents for Astoria 590-592 Commercial St. X War Against Consumption.
