A (iltEAT SCHEME.
To Mecnre I'olitical Capital from
Removed Postmaster.
Washington, March 21. Miin
interest is manifested at the pont
otl'ue department over the action
of Witi. Dudley Foulke, of Indi
ana, who is sending out inquiries
to the presidential postofTices where
changes have occurred since the
4th of March, 1889, especially to
postmasters who have been re
moved. In speaking of tho matter to-day
First Assistant Postmaster-Geuer..l
Clarkson said : "We are receiving
letters from the newly appointed
postmasters who have been ad
dressed in this way. The inquiries
sent out in every instance that I
have seen are made with an at
tempt to show that the case has
been prejudiced and the' change
made is assumed to be wrong. It
is evidently an effort to get state
ments from the removed and dis
appointed officeholders for political
capital. Some of the letters show
an inclination to try to induce new
postmasters to offer statements in
defense.

homestead right shall be forfeited

The purse oibred by the clnb
amounted to three thousand do!

principal had posted tivo thousand
dollars on the fight.

pnunds. Carroll helectcd Martin

In tbe first round McAulift'e
ijened with a rush, bmt Carroll cs-
raped by dodging.
In the second rooml v.arron
rushed the lighting, and landed
several times on McAulilTe's jaw.
The latter returned by a hot tight
handeroii Carroll's ribs and an
other on his neck.
In the third and lourth rounds
McAuliile lead out viciously with
his right, but Carroll escaped by
dodging until tae close ot tne
fourtti, when lie received a snarp
nip in the ribs.
In the Cith round McAuliile was
knocked to his knees by a blow on
th jaw.
In the sixth and seventh rounds
McAuliffe led for Carroll's wind,
but the hitter escaped punishment
by his clever dodging.
Tho next four rounds were unim
portant, but in the twelvth some
terrific slugging took place, and
both men were very groggy. In
this round Carroll scored a com
plete knock down.
In the 13th round both men
fought bard for a knockout, though
they were very tired.
During the next fifteen rounds
some very hard lighting occurred,
but neither seemed to gain any ad
vantage over the other.
Tho next few rounds were gener
ally in McAulilTe's favor.
At the close of the :10th round
the men, while net strong, were
both in fair condition, and there
seemed to be every prospect that
the fight would last some time
louyer.
In the :iSth round Carroll eoui
mienced to pound away at Mac's
face and jaw. Carrll reached his
mark more than half a dozen times,
and Mack was evidently becoming
dazed. He struck out weakly, but
Carroll would get away safely and
come back ith another jab in Mc
AutiuVs face.
The next two rounds were tamo.
McAuliffe recovered a little in
the forty-firet round, but in the
forty-second round Carroll gave an
ugly uppcrcnt and then planted
several more hard ones on his noso

eau Agriculture - A Rapidly In
rreHxin? Population.
W .isiitsoioN. March 21. The
prevailing depression in American
agriculture is treated by Statistical!
Hodge in his Marcli report to the
department of agriculture.
The prevailing low prices it
noted and a feeling of discourage
ment in rural circlet- throughout
the world is indicated. The main
j cause of low prices is referred to as
j the inexorable law ot supply and
: demand. Corn, w heat and other
j staples are cheap because of over
production. Immigration has increased tbe
population of this country five
million in ten years.
Hodge says while there is an ex
cess of production of a few staples,
like wheat, etc., there is un insuf
ficient supply of many other nec
essary products, which should fur
nish profitable employment to ru
ral labor. There are imports
costing $240,000,HKi per uinum of
agricultural product" h:ch should
be produced here. These arc ani
mals and their products, sugar,
fibres, fruits nnd nut-, barley, leaf
tobacco and w ines.
Another serious eause of depres
sion, he says, is the exorbitant
share of the farmers' products
taken by middlemen and carriers.
Speculators depress the prices
when farmsrs are full, and boom
them when farmers have nothiug
to sell'.

The Minority of the Hotus Committee
on Territories Opposed to
Women's Suffrage.
Washington, March 21. Repre
sentative Springer, with the bal
ance of the minority of the house
committee! on teiritoiies, have
united in a report in opposition to
the bill reported by the majority,
providing for the admission of
Wyoming as a state. The main
objections of tbe minority are that
there was no warrant of law for
the constitutional couyention, and
consequently there was a very in
adequate representation iu Hie con
vention, among whom were in
cluded a number of women. The
minority proposed another consti
tutional convention, a popular vote
on the woman suffrage question
and the admission of the new state
by presidential proclamation after
wards. Washington, Marcli 21. The

Choice Acre Property.
We havo just finished the sur
vey -of 80 acres of land 4 miles
southeast of this city in to 10-acre
tracts. This soil is very rich and
is peculiarly adapted to fruit grow
ing and gardening. Having re
cently bought this land for tbe ex
press' purpose above named, we
will sell for a few days at a bargain.
When we say this land is Lrar
miles out, we mean four and not
six. One acre is worth more of
any man's money than ten acres
of mountain, gulch and swarnp
laud, which is being sold in
Astoria and other towns at fabu
lous prices. Wallace & Cosick.
Astoria Poicters.
In keeping both eyes on Astoria,
i do not forget that tne property ot-
fered by the Oregon Land uom
pany is no "job lot," to be sold off
at auction, but good, sound prop
erty, in which the company have
invested their oxn money. Tbe
new cable cars run to the corner of
Ocean Park addition, making this
very desirable property. There is
also a steamboat landing and a
railroad station adjacent to this ad
dition. Parties who desire to make
investments in the Ocean Para, ad
dition to Astoria will have to apply
soon, as it is being closed oat very
rapidly and prices advancing.
