Pittsbukg, Jnly 26. Democratic sen
timent here is revolving rapidly to ob
tain a grain of comfort from the Home
stead strike. The view that, it would
havft the effect of swinging many thous
ands of labor votes in Pennsylvania this
fall, is fast losing the little hope left, be
fore the attempt upon the life of Mr.
Frick, which, though not yet substan
tiated by evidence is thought to be the
direct work of the amalgamated associa
tion. ' That a prolonged . strike in the
Carnegie mills would be of advantage to
the democrats is unquestionably true,
but even such an upheaval as the Home
stead civil war cannot move some of the
protectionist workmen.-.- The main point
in dispute relates to the recognition of
the amalgamated association. It is not
a fight on the wage question so much as
it is on the fixing of a time for a certain
scale to expire. Among these working-
men a large majority are protectionists,
for they know that the skilled labor
which they perform receives .twice; the
compensation that it does in England
and Belgium, The men at Homestead
were getting from $4 to $7 a day for the
same work that received from-.$l. to $3
across the ocean. No one understands
i. better than the intelligent, skilled
workmen of Homestead, and the amal
gamated, association . which has always
used its organized strength in support
of the protection system, and is now
using its same strength and power to
prevent the fixing of a time for the
scale to expire. The : facts concerning
the wages : paid at Homestead cannot
'bring .any. comfort to the democratic
friends. of free trade.

West Superior Leader. The American
steel barge company has, improvements
in contemplation on the present whale-
back barges and steamers calculated to
make the transportation: of lumber easy
and profitable. They are designed to
carry lumber in the hold and on deck as
well. The models show the addition of
a i-bridge running fore and aft." The
Canadian Pacific is now endeavoring
with every prospect of ultimate success,
to connect with the dominion govern
ment in placing a fast line of steamers to
cross the Atlantic. As. President Van
Horn is very favorable to the whaleback
passenger boats, it is not altogether im
probable that the barge works may next
year build several - of these vessels for
the . Canadian Pacific, road , The . big

their tents in the vicinity of Nye, creek.
About a dozen new cottages . have gone
up this season Or are in course of con
struction. The hotels - would' willingly
accommodate several . more guests, and
they will probably get them after awhile.
Hotel accommodations are excellent,
judged by our own experience at the
Ocean house, which is a model . hostlery.
The proprietor, ,Mr. Case,, has been a
resident, of the' place for . twenty-six
years and knows exactly how to make
things comfortable for people who geek
comfort at the seaside.
Work on the jetties is etill in progress.
Vessels drawing eighteen feet can safely
enter the bay now, but the steamer
Willamette Valley of the Oregon Pacific
line, still monopolizes the shipping.
There is no question, however, that with
the extension o? the railroad eastward,
a city, of . .commercial importance will
spring up on the bay. Newport is not
quite certain of being that city, but it
cannot be far away. Her best hold at
the .present time is to fortify her position
as a seaside resort, by increasing her at
tractions, adding to the gift nature, has
bestowed so lavishly. . . .

Fossil, July 25. Work in the Silk-
stone coal fields, so called, is still being
pushed ;; with ' vigor- aby that -.veteran
miner, Charley -Miller. - The Dalles in
leaving the project of a railroad to these
mines to take care of itself is - endanger
ing its own interests. That this ,is true
is the opinion of more than one sound
business man. Thr feasibility of the
road .has been proven but. there the
business rests, apparently "deader'n- a
smelt."
The festive, cow can be seen .following
along in the wake of a load of hay at al
most any. time, on our streets nowadays..
Geo;., Rippey of ;May ville,; could . have.
been seen in town last week.. He takes
the bard times philosophically, as any
bunchgrass merchant should.
Wheat took a rise of 20 cents lately,
and will be likely to take another before
much is offered. '
Improvements are almost at a stand

being repaired.. ' ', .. 1 1 . . ' i

-Washixgtos, July 26. In navy and
army circles nothing, for years, has at- .
tracted so much attention as the new
process nickel-steel plate, just tested at
the Indian pVoving grounds, for experi
mental purposes. It was so treated that .
it conl4 be manufactured at a vast slight
ly exceeding the cost now paid . for the -
nickel plate. Accordingly the Bethley
hem steel works, which has the con
tract for the bulk of the armor plate -manufactured
for the. navy, sent to New
York for a special plant for, making
plate by this process. The plant has
been finished, and its first product . was
the iy inch plate tested. Secretary
Tracy and . Commander Folger pro
nounce the result satisfactory, and say
the armor plate tested is the best ever
made. It gave -results . satisfactory to
the ordnance experts, and, in their
opinion, more important than any other -developed.
, . Previous trials had demon
strated the superiority of the Harveyized
plate oyer all others, but the plates of .
this. character .were manufactured at
such great cost and under such condi
tions that it required further experiment
to demonstrate whether or not they
could be uniformly tempered for a sum
that would warrant their use.' Shortly
after the trials of last autumn ' the au
thorities made a contract for the right to
use the Harvey process 'whenever it
should be devoloned to' a certain 'point
in this or in any country. It was sub
jected to a severer test than any of the
previous plates.' None of the five shots
succeeded in getting through, and at the
conclusion of the trial the plate was in
tact; After this showing there can-be
no doubt that : the plate of the inter-'
mediate future 'is a nickel-steel plate,
Harveyized. : ''-. ; '
: An Astoria Waterspout.
Astorian. On Thursday afternoon as
Mr. J. H. Smith and Mr. C. R. Thomp
son, accompanied by their wives,, were
going toward their homes,, they-were as
tonished on looking out on the harbor,,
to see a tremendous waterspout, which
appeared to reach from the waters of the
harbor to the. .clouds.;. The .waterspout
first appeared near Desdemona sands,
and traveled up the harbor in a vertical
position' as far as Kinney's cannery.
There its position changed, and the base
of the funnel-shaped column seemed, to
rise until its position was horizontal,
when it melted . into nothingness. Mr.
Thompson says that the time that
elapsed from, its ..appearance until it
reached the water in front of Kinney's
cannery was about 'five minutes'. .The
ladies and "gentlemen expected to see
some of the fishing boats cross its course
and ' get swamped,, but . no accidents
occurred. Those who saw the singular
sight were profoundly impressed by Its
novelty and magnificence. "
