Special Out Last Night The 114 passengers from San Fran cisco on board the steamship Roanoke which arrived in at the Callcndcr dock last evening at 6:20 o'clock, were despatched to Portland on a special train over the A. & C; and most of them were glad to make the exchange, as the Pacific was mortally rough all of yesterday, and especially yesterday afternoon off the Columbia bar. Here From Minnesota Mr. and Mrs. II. M. Suhrs and little daughter, of St. Paul, arrived here yesterday noon, and will become valued citizens of this city and county. Mr. Suhrs is'a brother-in-law of J. II. Petersen, of the Occident tonsorial parlors, and he is largely responsible for the acquisition of this new family to the Clatsop roster. Masonic Work at Seaside Under the direct supervision of the Grand Master of Oregon, a Masonic lodge will be organized at Seaside on tomorrow night, and a number of the fraternity will go from this city and nearby points to witness the beautiful work.

A Pioneer Fireman- Frank Stewart, of Oregon City, and an ex-Astorian, and old fireman, and the first driver of a fire steamer in the volunteer days of this city, having had charge of No. 2 when it was brought here, is here hob-nobbing with his old cronies and friends and all hands found it pleasant occupation by the way they kept it up. He is one of the authorities on the pioneer history of firemen and the good deeds they accomplished and speaks largely from exeprience. He will be here for several days yet. Should be Removed , There is danger in the cumbersome piledrivcr that is allowed to stand at the foot of the Uniontown hill, a con stant impediment to all teams ascend ing and descending the declivity, es pecially as it is faced ,on the opposite side of the street with a long row of slabwood, the two nuisances leaving a meagre roadway between them, through which hacks, and delivery wagons, and fire aparatus are forced to find their way day and night with a fair show of maiming a horse or smashing a vehicle. It is time it was removed, as it has rested there ever since that end of Bond street was re paired. A Smiling Savage II. P. Savage, the well known right- of-way man for the Northern Pacific Railway Company, came over from the north shore yesterday, and wan dered around among his friends here, quoting his well-received and cheerful slogan: Smile awhile I While you smile Another smiles, And soon there's miles And miles of smilesl And life's worth while, If you but smile! He left the city last evening, still smiling. . Will Bring It Back- Lawrence Fritz, J. Oak Sutton and Mr. Carter, the photographer, of this city, will go out on the steamship Roanoke this morning, equipped to make a splendid moving picture film of the battleship fleet in full operation off the bar of the Columbia. Mr. Cal lender, of the excursion management, has promised to make everything as easy as possible to capture the extra ordinary picture, and if it is success ful it will be among the finest of the country. Mr. Fritz has had exper ience in this line and, the day being fine, there is nothing to prevent them from securing a star attraction for the Star before they come back. In other words they are not .only going jto see the fleet but will bring it back with them. FAILED TO AGREE ON RESOLUTION MEETING OF THE DIFFERENT FISHERIES UNION COMMIT TEES AND PROTECTIVE AS SOCIATION FALL FLAT FROM THE VERY START. There was a meeting held yester day at the Chamber of Commerce rooms in this city, at which there were a score or more of people, all inter ested in the fisheries question in var ious and earnest ways, and the object of that meeting was to ascertain the attitude of the gill-net fishermen to ward the pound-net and seiners of the lower river. There were seven or eight of the latter, with groups from the gill ncttcrs' union, and a number of the Business Men's committee in charge of the protective fisheries bill; and Messrs. II. M. Lorntsen and Ed. Rosenberg, the official representatives of the local and coast fisheries unions, were also present. The discussion, or what there was of it was opened by the presentation of the following resolution, as coming from the pound-nctters and seiners' union, and the same having been duly read, was repudiated by Messrs. Lorntsen and Rosenberg, who declin ed to sign the same under any condi tions whatever. The text of the reso lution was as follows: "In view of the general misunder standing that exists in regard to the position taken by the Columbia River Fishermen's Protective Association on the fishing question, and with a desire to plainly define our position on this important question, we there fore subscribe the following as the belief and principles of our respective organization, we do not believe or contend that the Pound Nets and Seines, as operated on the Columbia River, are more destructive to salmon than the Gill Nets are, and that each class of gear is destructive only in proportion to the percentage of fish it catches. And we disclaim any hos tility to the maintenance and opera tion of Pound Nets and Seines, and we contend that they should be ac corded the same privilege that is en joyed by the Gill Net fishermen, and we hereby pledge the support of our respective organization to the sup port of such laws as will insure a fair and impartial regulation of law. This being all that was offered in behalf of the session, of a distinctive and effective sort, adjournment was taken. It is not known just what steps the pound-net men and seiners will take in the premises, but it is quite certain they are not feeling any too friendly toward the gill-netters and are not likely to contribute much to the cam paign that is being waged so hotly and cleverly over the state to save the salmon fisheries from the bedevilment of the traps and wheels.
