Miss Goldman's Lecture-
One hundred and twenty-nine
people were present at the Astoria
opera house last evening to listen to
Miss Emma Goldman, the high
priestess of anarchy in this country.
The major portion of the audience
was present with the speaker and her
doctrines. Miss Goldman was intro
duced by C. J. Curtis, the well known
attorney and assistant secretary of
the Clatsop County Republican cen
tral committee, who alone attended
the speaker upon the stage through
out the address. Miss Goldman is a
ready talker and has her theme well
in hand at all times, and from her
extraordinary viewpoint, is quite in
teresting She is a personable lady
and has an excellent voice and clear
enunciation. Her subject matter last
night had to do with the precept that
the government is not only non-es
sential but decidedly injurious to so
ciety and should be dispensed with,
and will, in time.

OFFICERS PROMOTION.
SEATTLE, May 28.-A special
despatch to the Post Intelligencer
from Tacoma says:
Rear Admiral C. S. Sperry, com
mander in chief of the Atlantic fleet,
said to-day that he had recommended
to the Navy Department that Cap
tain Richard Wainwright, in com
mand of the second division be ap
pointed acting rear admiral at once.
That it is the purpose of the navy
devartment to place Capt. Wain
wright in command of the fleet for
part of the cruise around the world
is the belief of the officer Capt Wam
wright's promotion would ordinarily
have come when he was on his way
to the orient.
