ASUNCION GOES ASHORE ON

DAY MORNING -STATE OF

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.

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.

Chairman Vanderbilt Cup Commission
Declares That There is no Possibil
ity of Any Change Being Made in
the Vanderbilt Conditions.
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.

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

portant cf-nference between officers of

NEW YORK, May 21. 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, 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.'
