GREAT DAY
AT ASTORIA
YESTERDAY
Tie BepiiiDE of tie Annual Regatta
at Tlat Place.
CROWNING OF THE
REGATTA QUEEN
Will Not Take Place Until Today The
Opening Spoiled By Showers The
Rowing Race the Principal Event
of the Day.
Astoria, Aug. 19. Immense crowds
of visitors and anxious Astorians were
disappointed thia morning, as the time
for the opening ceremonies of the regat
ta arrived with a drizzling rain. Neces
earily the main parade and crowning of
the queen wag postponed.
Admiral Day's flagship took its posi
tion off the grandstand, hoisted the sig
nal and the sports commenced. There
were Indian canoe races, high dives,
pnnt races and tnb races. Gaily be
decked yachts and launches covered the
bay and followed the judges' boats, close
ly observing the different events.
The event of the morning was the
rowing races between the Alameda and
the San Francieco South End clubs. The
boats came np to the line iu fine shape,
the crewa well matched and well trained,
anxious to settle old scores. In starting
the Alamedas lost their rudder. The
boats turned and the Alamedas agreed
to row without a rudder. There was
good water, raining slightly, when the
second start was made, at 11 :50. The
South Ends had a little the best of the
Gtart, and in the first quarter of a mile
pulled a little over two lengths ahead,
botb crews had a beautiful stroke, and
nearing the first stake buoy the Alame
das gained perceptibly on the South
Ends, turning the stake buoy two and a
balf lengths ahead.
On the home stretch the Alamedas
came in with a beautiful stroke, crossing
the line first, and closely followed by
the Sonth Ends; time 10:54. The
crowds on shore and on the boats
cheered loudly, while whistles tooted
and flags waved.
The weather has cleared, and the land
and water events will proceed according
to program. A big day is expected to
morrow, as the program will have to be
- increased by additions on account of
omissions today.
TROOPS WILL BE .
MUSTERED OUT
Corbin Will Send From 75,000 to 100,
000 Volunteers Home as Fast as
Possible.
Nkw York, Aug. 19. A special dis
patch to the Tribune from Washington
says :
Adjutant-General Corbin eaid in an
interview that he was going to muster
out between 75,000 and 100,000 volun
teers aa soon as practicable. The selec
tion of the regiments will not be made
arbitrarily, but having in mind, first of
all, the reports of the regular aimy
officers now with the volunteers. The
highest consideration will be given the
wishes of governors, as well as of the
regiments themselves. The interests of
the national government demand the
disband ment of troops secured under
the second call in certain instances, and
in other cases regiments raised under
the first call, which have had service
and which have been materially reduced
in efficiency through eickneBS, will be
the first to go.
It will not be feasible to issue a gen
eral order or to prepare a complete list
conering all the forces to be mustered
out for some to come. On the contrary,
aa soon as an agreement is reached re
garding any particular regiment, it will
be immediately sent to the state camp,
and aa ' eoon aa the property can be
tnrned over to the government and its
accounts settled, the individual records
of its officers and men will be completed
and they will be discharged from service
under the United States.
The only mustering out orders issued
up to the present time relate to the
First Vermont infantry.

TARS WERE
EXPECTED HOME
Fleets of Sampson and Schley Due at
New. York Enthusiastic Recep
tion to Be Accorded Them.
New-Yobk, Aug, 19. Rear Admirals
Sampson and Schley and the six vessels
of the North Atlantic squadron that are
coming to this port are expected to ar
rive some time this afternoon. This is
according to naval officers' reckoning,
but there is a possibility that the squad
will not be here until late in the evening
or perhaps tomorrow morning. If it
arrives off Sandy Hook this afternoon it
will be met by a flotilla of excursion
craft and escorted np the bay to the
man-of-war anchorage off Tompkins
yille. As the warships pass in at Sandy
Hook the guns at Fort Hancock will
belch forth a salute. At Forts Wads
worth and Hamilton more eakitea will
be fired, so that the arrival of the squad
ron will be announced to the citizens of
New York, who are waiting to do honor
to the returning sailors.
The officers and men on the warships
are unaware of an reception preparing
for them, and Rear Admiral Sampson
will be informed by a message sent down
in a dispatch-boat as soon as be arrives.
The tars will then have to be&tir them
selves in preparation for the parade
which is to take place tomorrow. The
parade, if the warships arrive on time,
is to start at 10 o'clock from the anchor
age off Tompkinaville. The warships
will steam slowly up the Hudson river
to Grant's tomb, where a national
salute of twenty-one guns will be fired.
They will make a wide circle and slowly
Bteam back to the man-of-war anchor
age. The exuureion steamers, it is ex
pected, will wait; for the warships to
pass by and then follow in their wake,
making a long and picturesque proces
sion. Every vessel will be gay with
bunting, and it is expected that there
will be more Stars and Stripes afloat in
the harbor than were ever seen at one
time before. As the vessels pass Castle
William a salute will be fired. This
salute will be equivalent to an an
nouncement that the parade has started.
The vessels in line will be the New
York, Brooklyn, Texas, Massachusetts,
Oregon, Indiana, Iowa, St. Paul and
Nahant.
General Gilesple, commander of the
department of the East, was ordered
yesterday to have tne forts salute the
vessels, and he in turn issued orders to
the officers in command at the forts.

Five children are missing and are sup
posed to have been drowned. They are :
Irene Loftus, Regis Loftus, Genevieve
Shaughnessey, Margaret Shanghnessey
and Nellie Sauls.
The water in the run began to rise
this morning, and at 9 o'clock a great
volume of water came down. The miss
ing children, with some other persons,
were standing upon the porch of a tene
ment houBe in the rear of the stream,
near West Casson. This porch over
hung the run, when a great wave, 20
feet high, came down, and the porch
was carried away aud the people went
with it. The adulta managed to scram
ble out, but the children disappeared in
the floating debris. Parties of men are
searching for the bodies of the children.
There was a heavy and continuous
downpour of rain throughout Western
Pennsylvania from miduight until 8
o'clock this morning, and considerable
damage was done by washouts and over

DIFFICULT MATTER
TO DECIDE
Wisconsin Battleship Committtee Puz
zled as to the Selection of a Spon
sor for the Battleship.
Milwaukee, Wis., Aug. 10. At a
meeting of the battleship commission at
the Pfister hotel, all the members, con
sisting of Senator St ebbing, of Ahnapee;
Dr. Reynolds, of Gonoa Lake, and Ju
lius Bleyer, of Milwaukee, were present.
It was expected that the commission
would at this time select the young lady
who is to stand sponsor for the battle
ship Wisconsin in the launching next
November. The commission, however,
adjourned without coming to any de
cision. Candidates are coming from
every quarter, and the members find
they will have a heavy task on their
hands.
The character- of the present which
the state will make to the ship when
she goes into commission was discussed,
and it was decided not to present a li
brary, as has been suggested, but to se
lect the usual conventional silver ser
vice. In addition to this, however, the
state will give the battleship a hand
some bronze badger, the symbol of Wis
consin, with the state motto of "For
ward" placed over it.
