THEY MAY BE BLACKLISTED BY INTERSTATE COMMISSION NEWS FROM DOCKS AND SHIP ASUNCION GOES ASHORE ON DESDEMONA SANDS YESTER DAY MORNING -STATE OF CALIFORNIA ON TIME. r.;.t . . a . The oil steamer Asuncion entered port about 4 o'clock yesterday morn ing and shortly afterward went on the western end of Desdemona Sands. Just how the accident happened is not known, but was probably due to some radical defect ia her steering apparatus, as Captain Bridget is one of the most skilful navigators in and out of this port and knows the waters of the bar and the lower bay as he does his own- decks. She is lying in an easy position and it was hoped to get her clear of last evening's flood, or that of this morning at 6 o'clock. She is one of the liveliest of the oil fleet and it is hoped will move off free ly and undamaged by her untoward ( contact with the shalows. The word comes up, from San Fran cisco, that the State of California has been thoroughly fumigated and made safe from the smallpox infection that prevailed on her for a few hours on her last trip down, and that a new crew has been placed on board, and she will leave .the Bay City on her schedule hour tomorrow for this port and Portland. The government steamer Major Guy Howard, the fastest craft in local waters, "busted" something on 'Bat tleship Day" and has gone to the ship hospital at the Astoria Iron Works for repairs.

CAMPBELL GIVES HIMSELF INTO OFFICIAL CUSTODY (Continued from page 1) tim of Campbell's gun fell forward after the shock of the first two shots. Tha't all were fired from an elevated range, and down at the victim, is mor ally certain from the position of the shoulder wounds, and that all three bullets ranged downward after enter ing the body. Sheriff Flanders and Coroner Pea cock, Coroner Pohl and all the party that went over for the inquest re turned to this city yesterday after noon from Deep River, and Campbell was officially turned over to the Wah kiakum officer, and with Dr. Peacock, and Mr. Gorman, left up for Cath lamet, the county seat of Wahkiakum, on the steamer Undine, at 7 o'clock last evening. The Astorian desires to correct one of its statements in the account of this tragedy, as made yesterday morn- ! ing; and that is, that in the personal encounter reported to have taken place some time ago between Camp I bell and McClellan, it was Campbell who received the sound thrashing, and not the man he killed. Campbell is a heavy, fat, pleasant-looking man, of fair address and jolly tone and style and would never be regarded as a man given to such extreme action as he took in this case. The man he killed was tall, of fine physique and pleasant features and rather fine looking, with no trace of fierce or flagrant passion about him. He will be buried over in the Nasel country, probably, on Sun day next. TEA There's plenty of hum bug in tea; not one ounce in a ton. Schilling's Best.

NEW YORK, May 21. There have been several sensational develop ments in the international automobile racing on this side of the Atlantic. These include a refusal of the Vander bilt cup commission to change its conditions to conform to the rules at the Ostend Congress; the sending out of an elaborate press sheet that was not authorized by the automobile club of America in which it was stated that the club planned the promotion of an international race at Savannah, Ga. An outspoken demand on the part of importers of automobiles that in the premises it is the duty of the Automobile Club of America to promote a race under international rules and finally an intimation that the Vanderbilt cup races may be blacklisted by the Automobile Club of America. Jefferson Dement Thompson, chair man of the Vanderbilt Cup Commis sion in a letter to Robert Lee Morrcll, chairman of the contest committee of the Automobile Club of America, acknowledged the receipts of the hit ter's letter enclosing the protest of the Automobile Club of France, recit ing the fact that the subject of rules had been carefully discussed two months ago, declared that there is no possibility of any change being made in the Vanderbilt conditions. The press sheet that was disclaimed by officers of the Automobile Club of America, quoted in a despatch from Savannah that recounted how S. M. Butler, president of the club, had visited that city on Saturday last, and made a proposition to the Savannah Automobile Club to promote an in ternational race in Savannah in No vember. He learned later that Mr. Butler had been in that city last Sat urday. It was denied, however, that he had made a proposition for a club race there. IN GREAT DEMAND Almost 500,000 Copies Sold in Four Years MARK TWAIN'S FAMOUS BOOKS At the Annual Dinner of the Ameri can Booksellers' Association Mark Twain Praises Booksellers For Their Enormous Sales. NEW YORK, May 21 At the an nual dinner of the American Book seller Association, Mark Twain in his usual white flannel suit, told how well his books had sold since they had passed from subscription agents into the hands of the booksellers. "For 36 years my books were sold by subscription " he said. "The books passed into the hands of my present publisher in 1904 and you became the providers of my diet. 1 think I may say without flattering you that you have done exceedingly well by me. "By the terms of my contract, my publishers had to account to me for 50,000 volumes per year for live years, and pay for them whether they sold them or not. It is as I point that you gentlemen come in, for it was your business that unloaded the 250,000 volumes on the public in five years if you possibly could. - Have you suc ceeded? Yes you have and more, for in your years with a year still to spare you have sold the 250,000 and 240,000 besides." He then said he was building a farm house with the proceeds where he intends to take vacation for 30 or 40 years after completing the five books . .. . A - ic is now engaged on.

The first Rocky Mountain goat ever born in captivity has made its appearance in the great house at the Bronx Zoo. The kid is a fine specimen and bids fair to grow into a strong and healthy goat. ' This is the dearest hope of the Zoo officials for heretofore not only has no kid been born but the old goats captured will have seldom lived more than a few months. The parents of the newcomer were cap tured in the Rocky Mountains in 1904.

Chicago Will Purchase HerPublic Lighting Currents UTILIZE PLANTS OTHER WAYS Great Drainage Canal to Get Benefit of City's Electrical Service Out side Sources to be Relied on For Lights. CHICAGO, May 21 The City of Chicago is going out of the electric lighting business. City Electrician Carroll is now engaged in winding up the enterprise and within a month the municipality will have retired as a producer of electricity. , The retire ment probably will be permanent. In the future the city will purchase all the current required for the mu nicipal electric lighting systgn from the sanitary district. The city's steam plants are being turned into distributing stations for the drainage canal current, which the council has contracted to purchase at $15 a Jiorsepowcr. In this way the city will be enabled to light the streets at a great reduction from the cost in the past. At S432 city electric lights are be ing operated with the canal current, leaving 3171 operated from the city plants which will be transformed into distributing stations in the next month. The city will also install in a few days transforming station in which the canal current will be distributed directly from the canal feed wires. Several other transforming stations are to be established this year and the city will then purchase all the cur rent possible to use within the limita tion of extension imposed by the city council.'
