. Pobtlaxd, March 11. It is currently
reported that the contract for the build
ing of the Astoria railroad, was yester
day signed by C. W. Scbofield and
6eorge Goss, who are. to construct the
road, and by Messrs. Taylor, Dement
and Wingate, trustees for the city in the
matter of the subsidy, work to commence
within ten days. The road is""l6' run
through the Nehalem valley and iursush
transcontinental connection with "As-:
tbriaT' The builders are to receive $300,
000 in cash as a subsidy, after, the first
engine has run over the line, and it ,lias
been accepted by the trustees. - Beside
this $300,000 there are. .other, considera
tions. Astoria is to furnish the terminal
grounds and secure right of way through,
the city or such portion of it as is needed..
The money ig not to be deliveredjtill the
road is in operation from Astoria, as
said, to a -transcontinental connection,
probably to some point on the" Southern
Pacific on the original route selected by
Wm.: Reid. '" Astoria has subscribed a
land subsidy. This is in the possession
of the trustees and is about 800 acres. A
stock company will be formed and the
land used as a basis on which to. raise,
the $300,000.-. Gosb and- Scbofield haVe
nothing to do with the land and simply,
receive the $300,000 in cash at the road's
completion,":..Mri.. Scbofield some time
ago suggested this method of raising the
money, and it was worked well.

r Washington, March ,11. -Secretary of
War El kins has just published a1 state
ment of the militia of the United States.
Oregon is included and the information
is taken from the report of Adjutant
General Mitchell. Oregon ; has .1,506
men in the militia and 40,790 men avail
able for. .military duty. .Where about
one-twenty-fifth of the men available,
for military duty in Oregon are members
of the militia, the case is very different
in other states. In Ohio, . for instance,
there are 600,000 men available and 5,373
members of the militia. Pennsylvania
gives in a report . of 735,622 available
men and only 8,469 : enlisted. " North
Carolina with 235,000 available men and
only. 1,586 enlisted men. Oregon stands j
very high in comparison . with other
states and much better than Wrashing- 1
ton, which' state has 361' less than Ore
gonwhile there are 59,600 men avail
able for service, compared to Oregon's
40,796. Washington has 105 officers to
take care of its 1,145 men and Oregon
has 127 officers to look after it 1,506 men.
There are .three cavalry officers," three
.artillery and 108 infantry, officers here.
Washington has ten cavalry officers and
sixty-six infantry officers. ,' . ; . ; , . ' "

. Washington March 16. Severe raint;
storm with wind of tremendious velocity
passed over Washington shortly after
noon today. ' Many people were taken,
off their feet by the wind, and some of
them sustained injuries. The wife of
Senator Palmer was approaching the
capitol on foot, when the- storm broke.
She was taken off her feet and thrown
against the steps, suffering a deep cut in
the head." Her sister, who was with her,
was uninjured. Mrs. ' Palmer's wound
was drepsed.iq the capitol, and she was
taken home.. Two other . ladies "were
blo.w n.off .their, feet at the east entrance
to the senate, and one stunned. ,Te
air was springlike when the rain began,
but half aa hour afterwards eevere
snow storm, suggestive of a blizzard was

Aliont a Mysterlons Disappearance. .
ifoxMouTii, iil.,' Maiih ll.--A strange
case of circumstautial evidence' contain
ing all, the elements' of . a. romance has
just come to light here.., Fred M. Staley
was once a resident . of this place. Some
years ago he removed to Kansas, where
he worked on a ranch. - Last fall he de
cided to .spend the winter in Illinois,
but did not pabUcly proclaim his intention-,
One day two; young men of his
acquaintance asked. him to, ride with
them to town and hp accepted-the invi
tation, pn the way he informed his
companions that he believed he would
take the train for 'the east that night,
lie did so, and had never written to or
heard from his former home until Mon
day of . this . week, , when he read in a
newspaper , that, tne young . men with
whom be had ridden had been, indicted
for the murder of Fred M. Staley, and
the trial had been set for March. 10th.
The; .authorities ' undoubtedly have a
strong case against the prisoners, as they
were the last men his . acquaintances
had spen with him, xand had not, told
them where he. was going., Staley left
here: yesterday, aud will doubtless be
a welcome witness at the trial. ' !
v War Declared on the Colombia.
Portland, March 11. The rate , war
oeiween tne union racinc ana the-op-j
position steamboat lines on the Portland
and Asto.ria rp'ute, formally commenced
this morning where the cut was promptly
met by the steamer Telephone, and the
Astorian will probably fall into line in a
day or two. " Not only are the passenger
rates affected )u ! the J freight ; rates , as
well, which are n6idere4 far more im
portant, as greater interests are in volved.
The Telephone belongs to the line ;wbjich
carries tne jxormern raciiic's traffic oa
the lower river, and as merchants in
Astoria receive a great ; deal - of eastern
freight over the Northern's route, this
is considered a point in their favor for a
successful opposition. -
Fusion la Kansas. ' : ' ' .
ToPfKA, March 10. It has been prac
tically decided by the leading democrats
of Kansas not to put a presidential elec
toral ticket in the field, and to support
the peoples' party ' electoral ticket. A
fusion will also be effected on state offi
cers and congressmen at large. The
democrats and . alliance leaders claim
that this will wipe out the republican
party in Kansas. . The same tactics are
to be used in Nebraska and the Dakote.9.
To offset this the republican leaders of
these states urge that the republicans in
theVirginias, Tennessee, Georgia and
the Carolinas enter into a fusion with
the new party.

Gould to restore the equilibrium of the

DESPERATE ACTS FOR AN ISSUE.
'Canada Too Close to the United States
to be Trusted."
THK NOISY HOUSE OF COMMONS.
-What I'nrle Sam May ic in Case the
Tory Klement Force the Issue
Other Xn.
London, March 10. The question of
the. defenses of the harbor of Esquimau,
on Vancouver Island, was raised in the
house of commons this afternoon, and
was discussed by several liberal mem
bers, causing . a very lively breeze.
Hardly had .this commotion died .out
when the Behring sea controversy was
brought before the house by the questions
addressed by Edward Temperley Gour
ley, the advanced liberal member from
Sunderland, and auswered for the gov
ernment by the Right Hon. James Wil
liam Lowther, under , secretary of the
foreign office. Ronald Crauf urd Monro
Ferguson, liberal member from Leith,
led off in the matter of Esquimau's de- -fenses
by asking a series of questions of
the first lord of admiralty. While mak
ing interrogatories, Mr. Ferguson was
interrupted frequently by cries of "Oh,"
"Ob,'-' ironical laughter, and other noisy
demonstrations of. the ministerial ma
jority..; The impression , left by his in-'
quiries and by the emphatic, hear, bear,
with which. ome of them were greeted
from the opposition was. that he intended
to say .Canada had drifted too far toward
the United States to be trusted to . co
operate with, the mother country in case
of trouble, with ,the American govern
ment. , This.-was. Hamilton's view of. the
matter, and he declined to answer. jftny
except those in reference to the arbor
itscif. In the matter of the Behring sea..
Controversy, it is intimated strongly that,
should the : American government- at
tempt retaliation against Canada,, Eng
land will withdraw the arbitration and
meet any issue tbe United States may
choose to raise with the plain assertion
of the right of English subjects to hunt
seal outside the recognized limit of the
United States jurisdiction. This position
is urged by the tories who are ' desper
ate for an issue that will arouse
jingoism and rally the country
to the support of the government.
The tories are playing a pretty
bluff game by printing all manner of
bombastic letters, forged perhaps, but
alleged to come from Americans contain- -ing
menaces against England. There is .
reason to believe they have been written
to order, as tories regard the time favor- :
able for an anti-Americatj demonstration
on account o) the irritation that exists
among numbers of the working people,
who bad their wages reduced, or have
been deprived of employment on account
of the McKinley law. This feeling is
especially strong in the manufacturing
districts. In naval quarters it is stated
the British squadron in the Pacific can
be depended upon to do its -duty in the
event of any encounter with the Aineri-.
cans. On the other hand, from Wash
ington it is well understood that in caae
Great' Britian declines the proposition
for a renewal of the modus vitendi this
government will no doubt send all avail
able '.vessels to the Behring sea . soon
enoughif possible, to control ' its ap
proaches and prevent the entrance of alb
sealing vessels, - American as .well as
others. ;;The. vessels available, for. this
service are i. The .Charleston, the Balti
more and the Ranger, at San Francisco ;
the Mohican, now on her- way --to Port
araV witfy'tbe Nipsic in tow, and the

dent will take no further-action- regard
ing the Behring sea matter until he re
ceives a reply from Salisbury to . Whar
ton's note insisting on-a renewal-of the
modus irivendi of last year.-: There need
be no fear but that a' resolute stand on
thia-snbject will at once put- an end to
tbe mischief complained of. Inquiry at
the capitol today revealed the fact that
in its present shape and under the pres
ent condition, the arbitration treaty will
hardly be ratified. - -
