GERALD C. DUE IN TODAY
WITH DEEP-SEA FISH CARGO
ROSE CITY OUT FOR SAN
FRANCISCO-BREAKWATER'S
RECORD RUN FROM COOS.
The Elmore motor schooner Ger
ald C, is on her way up from Tilla
mook today, and is probably making
several successful hauls with the
Obee trawls for deep-sea fish. There
is a good deal of interest manifested
m the outcome of this business and a
fixed fresh-fish market is among the
possibilities for this city and port.
The steamer F. S. Loop cleared for
San Francisco and left out yesterday
morning. The oil tank steamer Asun
cion was another of the vessels to
pass out yesterday morning for the
California coast.
On Friday of this week Captain

the steamer Melville and the Calen
der fleet of barges will go to the low
er bay to execute the work.
The famous Delia will leave out
this morning for the lower coast,
with plenty of general cargo betwen

"pup" as she will pull through with
any of the "liners."
The steamer Sue H. Elmore went
to sea and Tillamook yesterday. She
carried out a five-ton boiler for the
C. L. Fox lumber mills , the new
plant that is to do a 50,000 foot per

cer will be at the Callender dock at

PARTY BY THE NAME OF COLE
FROM PORTLAND, ROBBED
OF THAT SUM ON FRIDAY
THIEF SUPPOSED TO HAVE
GOTTEN AWAY ON ROANOKE
The police of Astoria have a clover
bit of work ahead of them and arc
working-it out carefull and it is hopett
successfully. It has to do with a theft
in tins city on rrway last 01 ?ouw in
gold coin.
It seems that two partners arrived
here from Portland on Thursday
night's express, en route to San
Francisco, and to take the steamship
Roanoke henoe at 10 o'clock on Fri
day morning. The name of one of
the twain was R. M. Cole, the name
of the other has not been ascertained
at this office. During trie morning
hours of Friday Cole proceeded to get
drank and was altogether successful:
and in the height of his "souse" he
called at the office of the Callender
Navigation Company, at whose dock
the Roanoke was then lying ready for
her departure, and demanded two
tickets for the Bay City; he was ac
companied by an individual whose
name is not obtainable, but who is
supposed to be an instrumental artist
in the dubious precincts of "Swill
town." Cole's irresponsible condition
prompted the company's officers at
the dock to refuse him more than one
ticket on the steamer, and he 'got that
are paid for, slinging his gold twen
ties around in lavish and reckless
fashion, but finally gathering them to
gether and staggering away with his
companion.
Sometime after his departure, and
after the Ronoke had cleared from
the dock and was close to the Colum
bia bar, a man came rushing into the
Callender office demanding to know
if "his partner Cole, who had all their
joint funds, had bought any tickets ,
and if he had sailed on the Ronoke?."
He was told all that the agent knew I
of the circumstances and he left for j
town. A bit later, Officer Du Boise,

AFFIRMATIVE STRENGTH
OF THE PROTECTIVE MEASURE.
The Morning Astorian is glad to
herald, day by day, the growing ma
jority that innures to the protective
fish bill over its antagonist from the
fish-wheel camp up the river; the
figures are becoming decidedly inter
esting and the four or live thousand
votes still to be reported may event
ually, and righteously, wipe out the
meagre affirmative attaching to the
predatory measure. At the hour of

The steamer Shna-Yak from the

The steamer Rainier cleared from!
the Tongue Point Mills and this port

Cole on the dock, and having gotten j Wasco 1,194
it, went away, returning half an hour
later with a man who was identified,
by Mr. Crosby, as the party last seen
with Cole on the Callender pier. This
man was then taken to police quarters
and was later dismissed, having satis
fied the police that he knew nothing
of the theft nor of the thief.
The presumption was then plain
that whosoever had robbed Cole had
used the Roanoke for a get-away, and
messages were at once despatched to
Eureka and San -Francisco to the
police officers, to search for the pas
senger holding a ticket out of this
port, of a given number, upon a
charge of robbery and hold him until
warrant and extradition papers could
be sworn out and an officer sent after
him.
Up to a late hour last night no word
had been received in the case, but the
information is likely to come in at
any moment, when, steps will be tak
en to round up the business in definite
shape.
The steamship Rose City came
down at 3 o'clock yesterday with a
large crowd of passengers and left
out an hour later for San Francisco.
The steamship Breakwater, arrived
in this port last night at 10 o'clock
after a record run up from Coos. She
left there yesterday morning at four
o'clock.

Later Full official returns from
Multnomah county were received by
Mayor Wise yesterday evening, and
the new figures indicate that Mult
nomah did even better for the pro
tective bill than was at first reported.
The vote cast is as follows: For the
fish-wheel bill, Yes, 11,838, No, 9,443;
for the protective measure, Yes, 14,
214, No, 6,916; thus radically increas
ing the majority for the last named
bill. The figures on this absorbing
contest now give the protective bill
an absolute majority of all the votes
cast in the State in this behalf; while
the fish-wheel bill has but a meagre
majority within the purview of its
own vote.
