This, is the same woman that had her two little girls taken from her by the Boys' & Girls' Aid Society, of Portland, some time ago as she was not considered the proper person to whom Uie chil dren could be entrusted for their bringing up. Springfield Rifles Charles Abercrombie, city attorney, who is one of the prime movers in the organization of the company of the National Guard that is about to be established in Astoria, received" yesterday one of the rifles that the company will be armed with.

The navy, however, still has the Krags. It is said that the newt Springfield weight 14 pounds, and if this turns out to be true, the Astoria boys who are going into the new company will find that the life of a soldier is not all play. To carry a 12 pound shot gun, or an eight-gound rifle on a hunting trip all day is no joke, while a 14-pottnd military weap on will probably seem like a small cannon.

Be cause of the fact that the delegates will have to hasten back to their work, only the one session on Satur day night is to be held. Some of the Portland carriers will have to be back' at their, jobs by noon of the next day, and thus it may readily be seen why the convention will at least be notable for its briefness. The local carriers have prepared a banquet for the visiting delegates, to be held in Red Men's hall. It is expected that about 25 will be present from out of town, and the business session will be held in the city hall. The follow ing among the local carriers have in terested themselves in the coming convention: George Olson, A. L. McCroskey. D. R. Crush, S. A. Pen ncl, O. H.

Joe Torva, the man wanted in con nection with the assault on Matt Walquist last Sunday morning, was arrested by Sheriff Pomeroy in a log ging camp about four miles out from Seaside yesterday afternoon. Acting upon a suspicion that Torva was in hiding somewhere in that part of the county, the sheriff went to Seaside yesterday morning and began an ac tive search for the missing man. No trace at first could be found of Torva, but in the afternoon it was learned that a man answering his de scription had hired out at one of the camps only a day or two ago. Sher iff Pomeroy went put to the camp, but because he had never seen Torva and had only a meagre description of the man wanted, was slow about mak ing the arrest. He found the new man and saw at a glance, that he answered the description, but the fel low claimed that his name was Matt son and not Torva. The name of Mattson at once strengthened the sheriff's suspicious, because it was over a woman of that name that the bloody row of Sunday morning is supposed to have occurred. After' further parley, the man finally admit ted that his name is Torva. Sheriff Pomeroy took him to the train and landed him in jail here last night. Walquist, the man who was stab bed and cut, is not seriously hurt and is in the city jail, but at first it looked as if his injuries might prove fatal, and there seems little doubt that his assailants thought they had killed him. The two men first arrested in con nection with the affair insisted to Sheriff Pomeroy that it was Torva and notthey who had used the knife on Walquist, The authorities have had much difficulty in former cases of this natuVe. Usually the men prove clannish and refuse to talk or to bear witness against each other, with the result that the authorities have been unable to see that the law was up held. Tired of such tactics on the part of certain ones among the local foreign population, an effort will now be made to see that the man who should be the prosecuting witness in this case Walquist either gives the testimony that he should, or, else steps may be taken to punish him for aiding in the compounding of a fel ony, or on some other charge that may be made to hold against him. The Mattson woman, near whose place the fracas occurred, was arrest ed Wednesday night upon a charge of disorderly conduct and sentenced tto 10 days in the city jail.

The two little torpedo boats lying in the harbor, the Goldsborough and the Rowan will be joined this after noon by the Fox and Davis, two others of the miniature naval craft that have been at Portland since the Rose Festival. It is expected that the two will arrive down about lor 2 o'clock this afternoon and tomor row the little fleet of four will start on their journey down the coast to Eureka, where they are to appear for the Fourth of. July. From thence they will proceed to San Francisco. Hundreds of Astoria people have visited the two little vessels as they lie near the Lurline and Undine's dock, and especialy noticeable has been the great number of young per sons who have availed themselves of the opportunity to see torpedo boats at close range. For the "kids," the presence of the boats, and especially the presence of the sailors, has been a notable event, and many of the little chaps have literally haunted the clocks the past few days. ' The lieu tenants and midshipment in charge of the vessels have apparently taken pleasure in showing visitors about, and for those who have not yet seen the little craft, this afternoon should prove an excellent opportunity, when the four will be in harbor. To sea-going men of this coast the four craft are familiar, as the Fox, Davis and Goldsborough were built at Portland, and. the Rowan at Se attle. Once before the Fox came into Astoria harbor, that time with six or seven men dead or dying on her, caused by the bursting of a steam pipe. The history of the Golds borough has not been one that added to her laurels. She "broke" her builders, a Portland firm, and the Each $5 Sale j purse demands them, t WW government finally had to complete her. She was taken up to Bremerton and since then has not been out of the waters of the Sound until now, when Lieutenant Ghent brought her, down to Astoria. He says she acts like a good sea-going boat. The sailors on the Rowan and Goldsboough were paid off just be for eleaving Bremerton and didin't have much of a chance to spend their money there, and it is probable that when they leave here tomorrow they will be sighing for next pay day to come.

HONOLULU, June 25.-The Chinese committee which has charge of the agitation for a modification of the Exclusion Laws so as to per mit of a limited immigration of. Chinese to these islands, has receved a letter Ifrom Mnister Wu Ting number of Chinese immigrants it suggests should be admitted here an nually. , The committee has replied that it desires that 5,000 a year should be admitted for about seven years, in addition to their families. It esti mates that with such an immigration there would be at the end of ten years only .about 50,00 Chinese in the territory. As there -are between 60, 000 and 70,000 Japanese in the terri tory, the committee feels that this would not be an unreasonable num ber to keep the balance of the two nationalities in the islands. .
