LESSON IN QUICK DESPATCH.
The demonstration made in this
port, yesterday, in the matter of the
quick despatch of the American
Hawaiian steamship Nebraskan, is en
tirely creditable to Astoria, and to
the public spirited men who secured
the call of. the vessel.
She entered port between 8 and 9
o'clock yesterday morning, under the
pilotage of Captain Staples of the bar
service, docked 100 minutes later at
the Can dock; and by the time she
was fast a gang of 40 stevedores was
busy throwing 15,000 cases of salmon
down her hatches and through her
cargo doors. By 6 o'clock p. m. she
was battened and ready for sea, and
under the same pilot, went to the
lower harbor to wait for the flood
this morning, when she will put to
sea at 10 o'clock, just 24 hours in port,
characterized all his dealings and
marked him as a progressive and public-spirited
citizen.
A BIT INCONSISTANT.
Not always is a man quoted cor
rectly in a newspaper, but, assuming,
in a general way, that he is, there is a
bit of inconsistancy in the reported
interview had with Hon. J. C. McCue,
of this city and county, in the Port
land Telegram of Monday last. That
paper says:
"While declaring that every man
who took the Statement No. 1 pledge
should abide by it, Representative
elect John McCue, of Astoria, says
the Legislature should be organized
on party lines. Mr. McCue, who rep
resented Clatsop County in the re
cent Legislature, has been re-elected
to succeed himself, and is a receptive
candidate for Speaker of the House."
It sounds a little queer (to say the
least of it), that Mr. McCue should
advise all Statement No. 1 men to
abide by their pledge, which means
simply that they must elect Geo. E.
Chamberlain to the United States
cither by stopping my supply or by!
cutting prices. After the govern
mcnt case against. the trust is settled,
I will probably sue the wholesalers
for damages.
".Mr. Oilara lived at one time in
Astoria, where he was a member of
the city council, He was engaged in
the butcher business there, and was
so popular in his ward that he could
not be beaten. As a councilman he
attracted considerable attention by
his quaint expressions and vigorous
stands. He has been in business here
but a week.
"J. M. Neal, general manager here
for the Xineniirc Packing company,
is in Portland today, but John Mor
gan speaking for the Ninemire cor
poration, says that O'Hnra can have
all the meat he wants if he will pay
cash for it. Mr. Morgan says that

ADenieen worui, writes tins ot ex-
Astorian's tight on the meat trust:
"What promises to be one of the
most important suits ever filed on
Grays Harbor will stortly be institut
ed in the United States court for this
district, by Pat O'Hara a butcher of
this city, against what he terms the
"beef trust." He declares that the
wholesalers have refused to sell him
meat and he will attempt to show
that a conspiracy in restraint of trade
exists among them.
Mr. O.llara was formerly engaged
in the butchering business in Aber
deen, but recently moved to this city,
where he opened a shop. A man
named Thompson figured on taking
an interest in the business, but chang
ed his mind before the shop opened.
Thompson, it appears is a meat ped
dler.
"When O'Hara placed an order
with one of the Harbor companies
for beef, he says that his order was
refused. Later he met the beel mag
nates at Hoquiam. He was told he
avers, that the wholesalers under
stood Thompson was his partner; that
the wholesalers were opposed to the
peddling of meats, and that they
would refuse to sell to any peddler
