The international iaterceded to bring about peace. A telegram from J. C Joyce, secretary of the International Longshore, Ma rine and Transport-workers, to 3H advised that organization to confine its operations to handle freight at the railroad sheds and not to interfere with No. 6 in the loading an discharg ing of ships. On receipt of the mes sage from headquarters the members of 334 agreed to the wisdom cf the ruling and so notified their late oppo nents. The differences which had existed were quickly patched up and each local gave the other full assur ance that they would confine their operations strictly to the class of work they had been following prior to the trouble. The steam " schooner Yellowstone ar.ived down from Raiaier yesterday morning and was immediately board ed by a deputy United States marshal who en4d papers on the captain, libeling her in the sum of $1500 for sinking the gasoline launch Imperial at Rainier. Captain Rorvik, master of the Yellowstone, claims it is a put up job and that his vessel did not sink he but that the current caused her to awing against his ship as they were both lying at the dock. It is also claimed that the launch was offeree! for sale a short time ago. The cao tain made a sworn statement to the inspectors disclaiming all responsibil ity and after putting up a bond the j vessel was released and proceeded to sea. . 1 The French bark Eugene Schneider, RobaM, master, arrived in yesterday, 157 days from Antwerp via Hobart, where she left October 2th.

"The American schooner Fred-J. Wood arrived from San Francisco yesterday morning after one of the quickest passages this season made by a sailing vessel The feat of the Wood is re graded by mariners as all the more remarkable from the fact that the wind was not favorable during thj entire passage. The schooner it un der charter to the North Pacific Lum ber company to transport a cargo of fir to San Francisco. She will leave up for Portland today. The Oriental liner Numantia is du to arrive from Hong Kong via S:u Francisco tomorrow. She ftft the Bay City Wednesday and it is figured ij will take her 60 hours to'come up the coast as she is very light, having only about 600 tons of cargo aboard, anl consequently makes slow progress. Two barks were reported outside yesterday, one was the French vessel La Tour d'Auvergne, Las Bras, mas ter, 150 days from Antwerp, via Ho bart, from where she sailed October A LETTER FROl FORMER FIRE CHIEF BYGONE DAYS ARE RECALLED " BY MISSIVE FROM JOE O. CHARTERS Chief Foster of the hre department U in receipt of a letter from Joseph G Charters, who many years ago was chief of the volunteer tire department in Astoria. Mr. Charters is now in Cordova, Alaska, and he writes tj Chief Foster for some by-laws of the old company here. Doubtless many of the old residents of this city will r call Mr. Charters and will be glad to hear that he is still doing things. H's letter follows; Dear Ed If my memory serves m; well, I think that when you were a boy we called you Ed. I don't know whether you remember me or not. You were only a small lad when I left Astoria. I objected to you. lots of times for taking hold of the drag rope of one engines for fear you might get hurt. I refer to it with pride that these facts are true and that you arc the paid chief of the same old depart ment. Ed, we had a red-hot firemen's election for chief here tonight. I placed a candidate in nomination for chief, a boy from Eugene, Ore., de partment, and after a hard struggle I won out It is hard to beat an old Astoia fireman on these lines. Chief, I want to ask a favor of you, and I hope you will comply with my desire. I wish you would mail me a copy of the old Volunteer F. D. of either Company 1 or Rescue 2, rules and by-laws.

Hardly a Christmas goes by without a long list of fatalities or casualties throughout the country. Commonly the light and flimsy material used m decorating the trees catches fire anif burns with great rapidity, sometimes spreading to the clothes of the little children. Chief Foster says: To the Citizens of Astoria: Once aagin I respectfully call your attention to the care and caution that should be used in connection with the Christmas trees and celebrations. The decorations used in .the dressing of the trees are very inflammable, and as it is the children that are gathered at these celebrations the greatest care should be used so that no accident will occur. . ; Should a fire occur, go to the tele phone and call for fire department 6-11.
