LOOKING FOR THE WINNINO MAX. Don't Want a Candidate Upon Whom They May Lavish Admiration and Favor. Washington, June 14. There ia no doubt that the democratic politicians of the southern states regard the coming presidential contest as of the verv srreat- est importance to them. They, believe that the fate of the south and of south ern institutions, as they are pleased to term existing social conditions, are in volved in the result of November. They believe that unless the democrats succeed in the contest next fall the republicans will pass a force bill that will practicallv reverse political majorities in the .south and give to the blacks and their -white political allies a permanent ascendency in the various southern states. Believ ing this, southern action in regard to presidential candidates will not be due in any great degree to affection or, dis like for any aspirant. The southerners are not looking for a man on whom to lavish admiration and favor, but for a man who can win. Sentiment for once in the sentimental south is held rigidly m abeyance. The necessities of the oc casion have come to the front. Judged by this standard, southern action in the convention of . June 21st, may be re garded as extremely uncertain and not likely to be controlled by caprice or en thusiasm. It may bring about unex pected results. ' , - . The Port or Astoria. Astorian.. No one who studies the map of the United States can doubt that Astoria is destined to be a great city. Our port is the outlet for. a reirionof vast extent and great productiveness. , While tne Atlantic seaboard has many ports, the one great port of the Pacific coast is Astoria. San Francisco is the port of California and holds an enviable posi tion as such. But Astoria is the port of that great region which extends south ward to Colorado and eastward to Mon tana and Kansas, Nebraska and the Dakotas. The greater part of each of these states is as near Astoria as New York. Our own and other states of the far west are still largely undeveloped. Their present productiveness is small compared with what more labor and more capital could accomplish. In pro portion as the development of the states goes on, so will Astoria advance in wealth and commerce. Their surplus products will come here for shinmont and to this port will return the merchant men laden with valuable cargoes from Europe, the Indies, China and Japan. , Increase in Circulation. A considerable net increase, amount ing to over $6,000,000, is shown in the volume of circulation for the month just elapsed. According to the treasury monthly statement, the total circulation on June 1 amounted to $1,620,010,229., an increase cot over $1,115,000,000 for the year, There has been decreases under the heads of United States notes, natio nal bank notes,- standard silver dollars and subsidiary silver,- and increases in the items of treasury silver notes, gold certificates and currency certificates. The per capita circulation is estimated by the treasury's accountants at 24l77. which represents a slight increase for the month, a little in excess of the in crease' noted a month ago for the month of April. -Jj ' -, J , ' : 'J. . N New Flanks Bat. Astorian. There are no new planks in the republican platform, for the reason that no new issues have been evolved by congress or any other agency. It is a clear, straightforward declaration. Astoria will approve cordially the plank, which says, "we, fav.or the extension of our foreign commerce, the restoration of our mercantile marine by borne built ships and .the creation of a navy for the protection of our national interests and the honor of our flag." Losses by the Havana floods this week aggregate $500,000.. GREAT WATER CRAFT. Confidence Being Restored in Favor of Water Transportation. For many years, because of the power ful combination of the railways against water craft of any kind, steamboats in most portions of America have actually. become a curiosity. Anybody , who has ever taken the least trouble to inquire, could not help but be satisfied that, as against water transportation, railways are not in it. But the railways have succeeded, in almost every instance, in driving traffic off wherever they came in conflict with water transportation. This has been the case on our own noble Col umbia, one of the finest water routes in the known world, but an open river is soon to come, now ; and thence and for ever the scenes of life and activity will bring to mind the forlorn hope of the past, and the joyous development of a country superior in any respect to any similar scope of country on the face of the globe. Yesterdays' dispatches re ferred to the launch of a lake steamer at Chicago which is to carry 3,000 tons of wheat. The Buffalo Courier speaks of two transports, to be employed across lake Michigan from Kewanee to Luding ton, to carry twenty-eight loaded freight cars each trip, 50 miles, two trips a day each, which means that their daily traf fic shall amount to 112 cars of freight. 1" rom Ludington the freight trains will be taken by the Flint and Pere Marquette line to Detroit or Toledo, whence their cargoes will be carried by lake to the- Lackawanna, in Buffalo. - "It is a bold idea," says the Railway Age, "but it is practical, and if it proves anything, proves that the railways, in stead of bankrupting themselves to bankrupt and drive off water transporta tion, must avail themselves of such facilities in order to succeed, and where- ever a.railway parallels a route available for water transportation to , any consid erable degree, the water route- must be utilized in preference to the nil rail route." This suits the-; Col mbia river exactly, from The Dalles " to Astoria. Lake Michigan is. a. treacherous' water, and considerable risk will be involved in ferrying across it, especially in winter when ice abounds, none of which obi jections apply' to -the Columbia river route. The peoples' boats, the Dalles City and Regulator, have made great in roads during the short time they have been running to show where the differ ance comes in between mutual , benefit home corporations, and a grinding mon opoly, concerning which the Klickitat Leader truthfully says : . "By the temporary tie up of the Reg ulator those that have to ship to or from Portland find that they have to dig deeper down in their pockets than they care about. The farmers will want their wheat shipped this fall. No one can deny but that through the reduced rates of the Regulator last fall they received an unprecedented high price for w'heat, which made them come back smiling to their farms. What would they have re ceived had not the peoples' boat been in competition with the railroad? Why, they would have received from ten to twelve cents les for every bushel of wheat they sold. Is this not proof pos itive that for a number of years the rail road monopoly extracted every cent possible from the farmers? THe farmers were far from unanimous last fall in their support to the Regulator. Those that did not trouble then to aid the new company in their laudable and manly enterprise should pledge themselves to support this, commendable boat. In shipping by the Union Pacific you are going against your own individual in terests, and at the same time supporting this uncompromising monster of a mo nopoly. Do not let them lure you into cheap rates by way of Grants, but let the farmers ot" Klickitat come out unani mously and patronize the peoples' boats this fall, even if those living in the up per part of the valley have to haul a lit tle further-tlian usual.

Gov't Report. 11 jg2t3a W RUINS AT MARE ISLAND. A HorriWe Spectacle Follows Disaster. . ; at the Magazine. TWELVE PERSONS ARE KILLED. Bodies are Mangled and Thrown 200 Yards From The Scene. AN, EARTHQUAKE CONCUSSION. Bodies Thrown Into the Bay Recovered by Boat From Mills on The Op- ' '-' posite Side; " San Francisco, June 14. People at Vallejo were startled yesterday morning about 11 o'clock by a report which shook the town like an earthquake. Im mediately the fire bells in the yard were rung, and the conclusion' reached was that there was a fire 011 Mare Island, down at the magazine, that belched forth into the sky an immense cloud of smoke. As soon as it was high enough the peoples eyes weretumed thither, and for half an hour after report after report was heard as the shells exploded. Im mediately the entire navy-ywd force rushed for the scene and when true facts came to light a horrible scene presented itself. The first spectacle to greet the eyes was the burned and charred bodies of two apprentice seamen on the bacb, 800 yards from the scene of theexplosion. In the meantime one more body of a seamen was on the way to the hospital. Going further on to the scene ft horrible sight met the gaze. Amidst the ruins and all around on the sidehills were seen bodies and pieces of bodies scattered here and there. The bodies were taken out as fast? as possible, and when all were put along side each other they counted twelve. Some were cut in two, others minus a leg or "arm or head. Twelve were killed outright, and .three were taken to the hospital wounded, but ' dying. Two' of these were the appren tices picked up on the beach. The ex plosion had thrown them into the bay, and a boat from a merchant-man at Starr mills, on ihe opposite side, rescued them and went on to the smoke and -ruins for the others. The on i tide of . almost the entire bodies of these two, as well as their clothes, were blown off",, and yet they were conscious and werc able'to move, but will die. Telegraphic Flashes. ' At silver city, Idaho, yesterday dur ing an electrical storm the home of William H. Derry was struck by light ning. Mrs. Derry and two others were seriously injured by the bolt. Terrific thunder storms prevaile.l in -many parts of Spain 011 Sunday. At Burgos the famous old cathedral founded. . , in 1221 was seriously injured.

Carnegies' men at the homestead steel works, 3,000 strong, have until the 24th instant to decide whether or not they will accept a scale of wages which, they claim will reduce their earning capacity from ten to JO per cent. They have not formally rejected the new scale, but no . person expects them to accept it, hence one of the mo&t bitter contests letween ' labor and capital in recent years is ex pected to begin. ; It is reported that George V. Massey, ' of Delaware, who so strongly advocated j the interests of President Harrison at Minneapolis has been officially notified that he will receive the judgeship on the supreme bench made vacant by . the death of Justice Bradley. 1 Early Monday morning Acainpo, Cal., was visited by the severest thunder storm in its history.- Lightning struck a barn badly damaging it' and killing two pigs.
