The usual burning Chinese chimney
called out the department at 9:U0 last
night. This time it was in a building in

about as soon as the sound of the tardy
alarm.
Astoria, New York, has got tired of its
municipal government and wants to be
disincorporated and go back to the sim-
gle and primitive existence of a village,
'ivilization has palled upon those blase
eastern Astorians. Astoria, Oregon, ex
hibits an entirely different spirit, but we
are young yet.
During the month that clossd last
night nine cargoes cleared from here for
Queenstown, .Liverpool, Antwerp and
Montevideo. The vessels are all on their
way "and carry 314,113 bus. wheat, y9,6J9
bbls. flour, 123 cs. salmon and GOO M lum
ber. The value of the month's foreign
exports is 544,386.
The Sumner R. Mead went up stream
yesterday. Part of her cargo is the draw
and other material for the Northern Pa
cific bridge at Ainsworth. It had been
feared that the vessel would not reach
port in time to discharge cargo and get
it to the scene of operations before the
annual summer rise in Snake river, thus
putting off completion of the struoture
until . early in the fall. The arrival of
the vessel insures a bridge early in May,
when it may be expected that the run
ning time of passenger trains between
St. Paul and Portland will be reduced to
four days.
In tbe Police Court.
The slanting rays of a February sun
ghone through the western windows of
the police court yesterday afternoon upon
a group of legal gentlemen arguing a de
murrer. Further back in the apartment
sat several spectators attentively observ
ing the proceedings and acquiring valu
able legal information concerning the
rights of man, On the bench sat the
mayor acting as police judge ex officio,
and, along the wall was ranged the trusty
guardians of the law. Tne matter on
trial was the adjourned case of the city
of Astoria vs. Mrs. Jeffries, charged witn
a violation of ordinance T57, wnich pro
hibits saloons and restaurants from keep
ing open between the hours of midnight
and nve in the morning. Defendant,
through counsel, had filed a demurrer
which was argued at great length, the
city, through its attorney, argu
ing that the ordinance was reason
able, working no hardship on
citizens and required by the necessities
of the case, the defendant through her
attorneys arguing that the ordinance
was Unjust, unreasonable, oppressive and
unfair. The judge overruled the demur
rer and defendant asked for a jury trial.
The following names were drawn from
the jury box, the reading of the names
occasioning at intervals considerable
hilarity on the back seats: A. F. Johns,
D. A. Mcintosh, John Feely, John Hob
son, D. K. Warren, C. H. Bain, J. W.
Bottom, LouiB Wilson, Jioscoe Dixon,

arrested charged with violation of the
ordinance in question was taken under
.advisement, and the court adjourned.

Coos, Josephine, Lake, Union and
Wasco were not represented.
The chair said that it was scarcely
necessary to state that the committee
had mot to set a day for holding the next
state convention the place had already
been decided upon ami to make the ap
portionment for the various couutio.?.
S jiiio other things might come up very
proxerly and no one need be in a hurry
to get away, but all take their time aud
do the business properly.
Mr. Cochran called the attention the
meeting to the fact that since the meet
ing of tUe last convention, two new coun
ties, Crook and Klamath, had been or
ganized, and said if there were any rep
resentatives from those counties present
they might be admitted.
Colonel White said he presumed that,
as tnero was no regular order of business,
the first thing to occupy tho attention of
the committee would bo to designate a
time for holding the state convention.
A motion to tnis effect was made and
adopted.
Judge Townsend moved that the con
vention be held on Wednesday, April lti.
Mr. Cochran said that lie was verj- well
satisfied with tue motion, but tnere migut
ba some wuo were not. Pernaps oacj po
litical party wanted the chauco to have
tue last shot to mako tbe last nomina
tion. For my part I never did care
wnether we made tue last or not. Wuen
you make a nomination and put the best
material you have in the field, that is thd
best you can do. Some think they can
fit the crooks in our pirty by the crooKs
in the other if they wait till the other has
crooked first. 1 do no; know why the re-,
publicans postponed tbeir convention till
so near election. I think it shows cow
ardice to postpone. You know what has
been said about the meeting of the dem
ocratic national couveutiou being put off
till July. Do not thmk it was right. Do
not believe the policy of tue p.rty or oi
tue people should be to have it put off till
so late a day.
Mr. Townsend was of the same opinion
as tne last speaker, but the members of
the committee were here to reason to
gether and express their opinions on tue
matter. The time named was about the
usual time. As far as for any advantages
to be derived by putting off, he thougnt
they were about equally balanced. Thmk
tne proper thing is to go ahead and put
up our candidate. We have nothing to
Iosq, while the Republicans have their
records to defend. Tho more agitation
there is tLe better for us.
Mr. Strahan moved to fix the date for
holding the convention for May C.
Mr. Carlisle said the people of Benton
were in favor of putting on a bold front
and getting a little in advance of the op
position. He offered an amendment that
the convention be held on April 24.
Mr. Strahun had no very decided opin
ion, bat the Democrats of Linn have a
preference, and a decided opinion thut Ly
calling our convention a few days later
than the Republicans we will gam a de
cided advant-ige. Let the Republicans
take the lead and say what they want to.
I do not think it implies any cowardice
to employ a little strategy.
Mr. Scjggin moved to fix tho day for
the Dth of April.
Colonel Wmte seconded the motion as
it met with his approbation, but he con
fessed he was not well posted as to the
views of his constituents. We are going
to have a very important campaign. He
favored holding the convention early;
let the people know who the candidate is;
let us make a bold front, not bring up a
dark horse on the last of the month like
the Republicans. There is somethiujr
growing in our state called anti-monopoly.
We can embody certain princi
ples in our platform and catch the unti
moaopoly vote.
Mr. Cox said he was the only represen
tative from east of the mountains, ami
expressed the views of the people of a
large area. In the ensuing campaign we
have votes to make, not simply to count.
We must get out among the people and
do effective work before the election.
There are six counties east of the mount
ains which cannot be canvassed in two
weeks. The people of eastern Oregon
desire to have tho convention fixed for
an early date. In my couuty we have
troubles, and should 'have at least six
weeks to harmonize them. I am heartily
in favor of putting our canvassers in
the field and letting them thoroughly
discuss all subjects necessary, and for
this we want time.
Mr. Ellis did not bc-lievo that if an ear
ly convention was held and a candidato
nominated, he could proceed with the
canvass until he knew who the opposi
tion candidate was. A canvass lone
handed is not censistent: arguments can
not be made so earnestly when the can
didates are not together.
Votes were then taken for the 24th of
April and for the 6th of May, both of
wnich were lost.
A motion by Mr. D'Arcy to hold the
convention on April 17th was accepted ab
the original motion and passed unani
mously. Mr. Cochran moved that the vote for
governor at the last election be taken as
the basis of representation from the
different counties. Adopted.
After considerable discussion as to the
desirability of reducing tho number of
delegates to the convention, it was de
cided to make tho apportionment on the
basis of one delegate for every 0J votes,
and one for every fraction over 100, and
one delegate at large for each county.
THE APPOBTIOKMEJfT.
A brief calculation showed that the
number of delegates to each county was

A proposition that the committee
! should issue an address provoked con
I siderable discussion. It was finally de-
cided thut anything in the form of an
i address would be out of taste, but some
! suciiestions minht properly be included
t in t lie- call for for the convention. It was
rl (wirier! in Klirrrrnaf, o nnnnfcv Committees
that primaries be held on the 11th of
.April. ju iuuhuii ui int. wuwumu,
Messrs. White, Townsend and Cox were
appointed a committee to prepare a call
for the convention, and tho meeting ad
journed till S v. M.
Erening Session.
The committee met at the hour desig
nated. The following call was submitted
and adepted:
TIIKGAI.I
The. fetatft Democratic convention is
' hereby called to meet at Dalles City, on
luursday, tbe litb of April next, at tu
o'clock a", m., for the purpose of nominat
ing candidates for the following effices:
Judge of the supreme court, three presi
dential electors, representative in the
lower hoiifce of congress and district
officers for tho several judicial districts,
and to select six delegates to the national
Democratic convention, and generally to
to do such other busiues as inaj of right
cotue before such convention.
The committse deem it fitting tD pre
sent to tho Democratic voters of the state
the following cftnsideratiens:
We see '.pproucluug an election of
moit vital import to our commonwealth
in nil its interests, both publicum! pri
vate. Deoiuiug honesty the best policy, and
in striking contrast with the conrso of
the opposition party, we have named an
eariy day for tho assembling of the state
convention. Our principles as a party
will then be enunciated, and our candi
dates placed in the field subject to the
approval or consideration of the body
politic.
The v.;riuo :n the vote of this .state
dtiriu., if." x'. .". ti '. years, ind especially
tho very kIom contest in tho presidential
election of 1830, gives us much hope that,
notnithbtandiug our present minority,
with harmony in our ranks, and a well
directed exertion of our strength, we
shall carry off the palm of victo. But
to insure this end it is imperative that all
Democrats should contribute their undi
vided support and hearty co-operation,
not only m the actual canvass but in Jts
very initiation tho county primaries.
Wo do not presume to trespass upon the
precincts of our popular convention, but
do earnestly invoke all members of our
party to put aside past differences and
personal antagonisms, to units in har
imnious action in tho various primaries
ami to send full delegations of represen
tative men to attend the state convention.
We have deemed it fitting to reduce tho
numbar of delegates, in tne hope of secur
ing tne personal attendance of those to
be c'aosan. We especially recommend
the formation of local clubs, where prac
ticable, throughout the suite.
Believing that tho success of the De
mocracy is the welfare of the people, we
cordially invite all parsons, regardless of
post political affiliations, who favor sim
plicity, economy and frugality in the ad
ministration of public affairs to nmte
with us.

The Xames of Vessels.
The arrival of so many English vessels
in the Columbia with names beginning
and ending with some common prefix or
suffix, attracts attention to the system
adopted by ship owners in naming tneir
wssels. Some time ago we had half a
dozen different vessels in the river, each
being named after something Scettish:
the Scottish Prince, Bard, Tar, etc.
More recently there have been several
shires, the Berwiclzshire, the last of the
lot, sailing yesterday.
The eustoin of naming steamships has
muuy curious feutures. Some companies
select the names of cities, others men
can states, and others begin tho names
with a certain letter or syllable. Vessels
have been re-nainod to conform to a rule.
i is seldom, however, thut a lost vessel is
.succeeded by one of the same name, tho
case of the Royal Netuerland line, which
io.st the steamship Edam, by collision
tvith another vessel at sea, aud built an
otuer Edam to take her place, being an
exception.
Tue Guiou line names its vessels after
tho states and territories of tue north
west; as the Wisconsin, Nevada, Arizona,
Alaska and Oregon. Tue Wmte Star line
selects names lor its vessels ending in
"ic," as the Baltic, Adriatic, Germanic,
Celtic anl Britannic. Tue Cunard line
chooses names ending in "ia;" as the
Uallia, Scrviu, Bavonia, Botlmia and
ScyUtiu. The National line began nam
ing its vessels after the American states,
but afterwards adopted the nnmes of
countries. The present Holland was for
merly the Louisiana; the uanaaa, the
Pennsylvania; and tho Urecce, the Vir
ginia.' The lnman lino names lis vessels
after cities; as tna City of Chicago, City
of Berlin and City of hichmond. Tne
otate line adheres to the names of Amer
ican states for its vessels; as, the Slate of
Pennsylvania, State of Nebraska and
State of Florida.
The New York and Bordeaux line
names its vessels after the well known
vine chateaux, and the wines furnished on
board are bottled at the chateau after
which the ship is named. The two ves
sels now running are the Chateau Leo
title and Chateau Lujitle. The Humburg-Amt-rican
line has a large fleet of ves3el8,
three of wtich the Lcssing, Gcllerl and
Wieland were bought from the Eagle
line, and bear the names of Gorman
poets. The North German Lloyd has a
fast lleet of steamers. Some of them aro
named after rivers; a few, like the Gen.
Wcrdcr, after prominent persons; others
after old estates and leading cities. Tho
Bremen and Hull vessels are named after
birds.
Of the American lines the Alexandres'
Mexican and Havana steamers aro named
after cities; as the City of Puebla. City of
Alexandra, City oj Washington ana the
City of Merida. The Savannah line
selects Indian names. The United States
and Brazil lines select names ending
with "am e" "as Finance, Advance and
Reliance. Of the outside British lines,
the Glen line names its stsamors begin
ning with "Glen," the Japan line ending
with ''shire," the Ben line beginning
with "Ben," the Hall line ending with
'Hall." tho Calcutta line after the stars,
tho Colonial line ending with "Castle,"
the Clan lino after the clans, the Red
Cross line ending with "enso," the Balti
more line ending with "more," and the
Strath line beginning with "Strath."

Tho trial of William Bloxam, who
killed Jacob Fisher in Portland, last Jan
uary, began in that city last Thursday.
The housa committee on public lands
has decided, seven to four, to recommend
forfeiture of all granted lands contig
uous to that portion of the Northern Pa
cific railroad, not completed July 4, 1879.
In preparing a bill declaring forfeiture,
the committee proposed treating pur
chasers from the railroad company as
tuough they were purchasers from the
government. Members of the commit
tee say that about 531 miles, from Du
luth to Bismarck, wore completed hi the
time specified in the act of July 14, 1879,
and that about 3,500,000 acres must be
forfeited if the bill passes as prepared by
the committee.
A Washington special says: TneO. R.
fc N. Co. recently gave notice to the
Northern Pacific of s desire for a change
in the traffic agreement by which the
Northern Pacific uses the O. E. &. N.
Co.'s road from Wallula to Portland. By
the present arrangement, which, accord
ing to the terms of the agreement, is per
petual, the Northern Pucific Company is
entitled to sixty-six miles extra mileage
on the O. R. & N. Co.'s road. The latter
company not only wants this part of the
contract rescinded, but asks for an extra
mileage concession for itself, on the
ground that it is the charter line and is
entitled to it. The matter is in the
hands of a committee of directors of
each road. The 0. 11. it N. Co. made ar
rangements with a syndicate to borrow
$3,000,000 on a sort of debenture bond
in order to finish the Baker City divis
ion. The money wis to be repaid when
the Oregon statata which provents the
filing of railroad mortgages in two coun
ties is repealed, it being understood that
the company would then issue its pro
posed consolidation loan for $14,000,000.
A hitch has now risen between the com
pany and tho syndicate, on account of
the high rate of interest (9 per cent per
annum which the syndicate demand.
Officers of the oompany declino to pay
such an exorbitant rate while money can
bo borrowed at from 4 to 5 per cent. It
is expected a compromise will be effected.
