WILL BE SETTLED FI NALLY TODAY RESOLUTION RESTRICTING IS SUANCE OF LIQUOR LI CENSES WILL BE INTRO DUCED AT SPECIAL COUNCIL ' MEETING THIS EVENING. There is, happily, no undue excite mcnt nor useless talk anent the pend ing adjustment of the "saloon-local option matter in this city, and it firmly believed .that by 9 o'clock this evening all controversy will have been laid and the question disposed of for a good long time to come. The saloon men have framed up an agreement fo the rigid closing of the business in Astoria on Sunday and a large majority of the dealers have signed it, and gave definite sign of their purpose on Sunday last when, it is authentically reported, every house in the city was sealed against any and all customers. J n order to qualify the situation and make it feasible for all parties to merge their interests in some unform way, Mayor Wise has issued a call for special session of the common council for this. Tuesday evening, when it is proposed to submit a gen cral resolution, and pass it if possible, to restrict all further issuance of li quor licenses in certain localities for a given length of time; a step that is in the-interest of all cencerned in the present mix-up. And everybody is hoping there will be a unified vote on the proposition, so that the exist ing dilcmna may be called off and things revert to normal and unexact ing conditions. The members of the Civic League, who have the petitions for local op tion in precincts Nos. 2, 3, 4 and 5, are still busy getting signers, and will hold these off to the last minute to night before filing, in order to give this new movement toward adjust ment, full opportunity to make good, and if the resolution is adopted by the council, the petitions will not be filed at all; if, however, the resolution fails, they will make use of the cards in their hands and send the question to the voters, without more ado. There should, and no doubt, will be, careful view taken of the whole situation tonight, by the councilmcn, and their acts in the matter will bave a determining influence in the ad justment Every one who has had the privi lege of hearing Wm. Lee Greenleaf, the great impersonator, speaks words of praise. , The program of impersonations, sketches and recitations given by Wm.

She will be re placed by the famous old liner State of California, which is a well known here as the dock she ties to. Capt No pander, of the Senator, does not know as yet, whether he is to take command of the "State" or not, but will get his orders when be returns to the California metropolis. The Sena tor had 240 people on board last nightly, mostly "$5" passengers, there being something short of a hundred in the cabins. Getting irt Readiness- Manager Lew Ogan, of the As toria Clay Products Company, with his colleagues, is getting ready , for business, and the plant will be started at once on a site in, Alderbrook be longing to Messrs.

A meeting of the di rectory was held yesterday afternoon, at which orders were made out and despatched for certain machinery, and the ame will be here in a few days, or by the time the sheds are ready; and once this arrives the busi ness will be launched and kept, going without let-up. There are plenty of orders on file and in prospect, for the splendid materials this concern is ca pablc of making and marketings Estate Orders Made- Judge C. J. Trenchard, sitting for probate matters yesterday, made the following orders, which have gone to the record: In the estate of C W Carnahan; ordered that the adminis trator sell the personal property of the estate fo the purpose of paying the indebtedness of the estate, which is reported to be between $1500 and $2000.

Special (Non)-Deliveries . There are repeated complaints oi the non-delivery of "special delivery letters from the Astoria postoffice. Dr. Henderson yesterday stated that he had received a special order from a distant patient for a badly needed prescription that should' have gone out on the early train yesterday morning, and which was delayed for 10 hours the letter did not reach hi office until after 9 o'clock yesterday; not is he the only one who depre cates the poor service. It is up to Uncle Sam to deliver the letters for which his people pay the extra 10 cents, and to do it on time, and in time, to make them effective to. the not matter what sort of a contract this particular office . has with the Western Union or any other com pany, for this delivery. The fact re mains that the postal authorities should provide a service at any hour of the day or night to perfect the service that is paid for in advance by the man or woman who has urgent reason for using that phase of the public service and expects to reap some advantage from it It is high" time the proper steps were being taken in this behalf.
