YOL. XX, XO. 119. ASTORIA, OREGON, FRIDAY', FEBRUARY 2, I8S4. PRICE, FIYE CENTS. BY MAIL AND TELEGRAPH. News of disaster comes from every quarter. On the 19tli a cyclone in Alabama and Georgia wrecked hun dreds of buildings and killed fifty people. On the 20th an explosion ih a ConneUsville, Pa., coal mine killed nineteen miners. During the week Dakota and Minnesota blizzards have occasioned widespread suffering and seriously interfered with travel. The unfortunate dwellers in the Ohio flooded district had their miseries in tensified last Wednesday by a terrific gale. A dispatch from Louisville says: The worst gale ever known is sweeping this part of the Ohio valley from end to end, carrying destruction and death with every blast. About 6 o'clock a pouring rain changed to drifting sleet, and is now blowing at a velocity of forty miles per hour. Captain Divan, in charge of the life saving station, says that the houses in the submerged portion of Louis ville known as "The Point" are falling by the score. The upper stories of many of these houses are occupied by at least 250 people. "It is impos sible to reach any more of these peo ple with boats. We have already removed some, but can take away no more. No boat can reach them. No boat could live to reach them. They are surely doomed. I wouldn't vent ure ten cents on their escape. Every packet on the Ohio river that cannot put into shore to-night is bound to die. Below Evansville thero are miles and miles of flooded country where no steamer could possibly make shore. The timber skirting the banks of the river is under water. To strike upon it in a calm means death; but in this stage of the water there can be but one fate for any vessel loof e upon the waters of the Ohio tonight-" A flat boat which ventured out to take off some people on "The Point' was overturned by the gale, and a part, if not all of the occupants were drowned. It is impossible to learn anything definite of the condi tion of the people to-night Houses in all submerged places must be in evitably swept from existence to night The loss of life apprehended is positively incalculable. Menaced b) Chill. Albert G. Brown lectured before the American Geograpical Society in New York on the 20th, on Chili's growing power. He said Chili has not only advanced into the position of the controlling power on the west coast of South America, but her naval strength at this moment commands the Pacific coast of the United States. Any one of her three ironclads can sink every wooden vessel in our wretched navy. She can enter the ports of California and Oregon. Our defenseless cenditionon the Pacific coast is not safe. It is not compati ble with those relations of power to power there, which should be sure guarantees of peace. "I beg 3'ou to give thought to the important rela tions the presence of such a power as Chili is growing to be in the south Pacific to our pretension of right to control any isthmus canal by virtue of our possessions in the north Pa cific. You will not find a Chilian statesman who will agree to this pre tension of ours, and England and France will both support Chili's re sistence of it whenever the question becomes a practical one. Bismarck's Action Denouaced bj the "Staats Zeltung." Nkw York, Feb. 20. The Htaats Zeitung says: "Cable dispatches stating that naturalized German American citizens, who return to Germany, are again being subjected to military duty, and that the Ger man foreign office ignores United States Minister Sargent, and conducts all negotiations directly with Wash ington, will be instrumental in en lightening Americans as to the situ ation. The treatment which Sargent has for come time received at the hands of Bismarck was really scandal ous, and our government should never have tolerated it. Insults heaped up on Sargent by the official press of Germany on account of his alleged newspaper articles on the hog ques tion, were only the prelude to an ac tual proscription of our minister by Bismarck. Sargent is not permitted by Bismarck to hold personal inter course with 'him, although his rank entitles him to it, and he is in all cases referred to as Bismarcks subor dinate. The American minister actu ally suffers under this slight placed upon him to such a degree that his position has become very unpleasant, but he endeavors to hold on because it is his bread and butter. This is indeed a bitter lesson for the United States, and the simple fact that Sar gent was passed over when the Lasker -resolution which ho had pre sented, was returned, is in itself so gross an insult that our government can by no means paBS it o ?er in silence. Our government would be perfectly justified should it present the answer to the communication which the Ger man minister in Washington may have to make to the chancellor of the German empire through Sargent, thus taking no notice of the German minis ter. Should the chancellor then de cline to receive the American minis ter, our government would be justi fied in recalling our minister in Ber lin" and sending Eisendeoker his pass ports." " The New Steamer Santa Rosa. New Yobk, Feb. 20. The new steamer Santa Rosa sails Saturday Sot San Francisco. Eight passengers j&ze booked. She attracts much at tention from the elegance of her finish and the completeness of her equipment The hangings of her staterooms, which are in plush and gatin, were made in accordance with suggestions of Henry Yillard. The steamer has been dubbed the "float ing hotel,'' on account of her pala tial accommodations. She cost $500, 000. The only stop en route will bo Valparaiso. Bntlcr the Bugbear. " New York, Feb. 20. Times Bos ion special: The Republican state committee meet here to-morrow, and will probably appoint April 16th or 23d for the state convention, select ing Boston for the locality. The Dem ocratic committee meets Friday, Arthur movements a and perhaps looked for. a movement for (jreneral bnerman. Next to Edmunds Sherman appears to be the favorite with Massachusetts Republicans. Democrats will prob ably choose as delegates at large to the national convention Butler, Judge Abbott Jonas H. French and some man from the western part of the state. The delegation will be a But ler delegation, in the sense of being in Butler's hands, but will not vote for him for presidential candidate unless he wills it The impression among representatives is that Butler intends to run for governor this fall, with little hope of being elected. He will then run again in 1885, when the Republicans are exhausted by three wearing campaigns. Laud-Gnmt Roads. The land-grant railroads are show ing their usual stolid contempt for the pnblic by their opposition, before the committee on public railroads, to the bill requiring them to pay taxas on their lauds. That they have the least obligation lo contribute towards the maintenance of the community that protects their property, as other citizens do, is an idea that apparently has not yet entered the average sub sidized corporation manager'shead. To grow rich by the appreciation of the value of their gift of land and by the development of the country, de spite their extortionate charges, so that after having charged twice as much as they should have done for transportation, they may charge two prices for all the gift land they hold, and to secure all this without con tributing a cent towards the support of the institutions by which they exist, is evidently the idea of these subsidized corporations. The railroads hold, according to Senator Van Wyck, 160,000,000 acres of donated land on which they are evading payment of state and terri torial taxes. They are beginning to lease large tracts of this for grazing purposes. The next step in the de velopment of the political economy of these subsidized corporations will be that they will possess vast untaxed estates, which they would hold to be rack-rented in the most approved Irish landlord fashion. If they suc ceed in their scheme to defeat all at tempts to make them pay local taxes, wo shall have all the horrors of Brit ish landlordism reproduced in this country, with this all-important dif ference against us, that our land lords will be subsidized corporations. The state of things towards which our land grant roads are dragging us is parpetual ownership of vast landed estates by landlord corporations pay ing no taxes. The supreme court has twisted the law against the peo ple to prevent the local taxation of these corporations, and a congress of faithless demagogues has not un twisted it, but lets its unjust laws re main untouched. A Different Way of Thinking. The people of the country are pro- j nouueed in opposition to a continu- ance of the Northern Pacific land ' grant, and to the resolutions recently passed by the chamber of commerce concerning the grant The company holds its grant in King county by! virtue of the building of thePuyallup J valley coal road a road built princi-' pally as a measure of hostility to King county, and the giving to which of a grant of land was a wrong of the most flagrant character especially a grant in King county. The grant of this laud has operated to hurt the ! county and people in a double way; i first, in taking their lands to pay for building the road, and second in lock ing up these lands from the public, free from taxation, and to the mani fest injury of the people. In the count' would to-day have been prop-! ably several hundred more farmers had it not been for this grant The few who have bought from the com pany have had to pay more money i for their land than if they had bought from the government The company has held its lands until the population around them has made them valuable, it in the meantime being a clog of the worst kind, paying nothing , for schools, roads or other improve- ments. The country is checker-board-1 ed with their lands, every alternate ( section belonging to them, and being, ' with the exception of the few acres sold, yet untouched by the hand of man. The people are tired of this. They want the company to take pos- session of such lands as belong to it, if any there are, and pay taxes on them, just as other folks do, and they further want the lands put in the market at figures approximating those at which the general government sells i like lands in the same vicinity. These are reasonable requests, and the com-1 pany can offer no reasonable objec-1 tion to granting them. Meetings of farmers are contemplated to protest against an unconditional continuance I of the land grant Seattle r. 1. HAY FOR SALE. miURTY TONS OF THE BEST CALT 1 foinia Oat Ha forwde. tnqu.reof E.
