Thp boaijl and non-board fire insurance comimniet doing busi ness on this coast hava -n lat buried the hatchet (with the handle left convenient ly sticking out of the ground) an are just at present smoking the pipe of jmco or words to hat effect. Sometime ap the local agents in some city far, far away, concluded that they might as well stop giving away their legitimate profits and so "pooled thoir issues." Tna idea worked so well that it was rapidly adopted in other cities, and finally the magnates of the several companies did jointly agree npon a "uniform" system of rates tiat shall henceforth be charged. A mana, er has been arpo.nted for Ore gon and Washington, iur. Alfred bull man, wHose headquarters are and shall be in Portland. A compact has been prepared and signed by the accredited rep resentatives of the several companies in San Francisco and elsewhere, which im poses divers pains and penalties for its violation. No agent of any insurance company so bound can take any risks not in strict accordance with the let ter and spirit of the aforesaid compact. An exact record of all insur ance business transacted in Astoria shall be promptly transmitted to Air. Still- man in Portland and not to San Fran cisco as heretofore. Our city has been rated and ruled and districted in sun dry pleasant looking volumes, with the rate to be charged on each building in the city and upon the contents in such building. These rates bear some resem blance to rates heretofore charged, and are apparently of a character suliiciently steep to afford a handsome profit on the business. At all events it is allowed to the insured to suppose that whatever ad ditional expense may be incurred bjT the salary, etc., of the manager will not come out of the exchequer of the com panies. The rates run trom 1 to 12 per cent. While recognizing the usual per centage in favor of the game, it is mani fest that insuring property in Astoria is very profitable to the companies. Were the city to have a big fire to-morrow the companies could and doubtless would draw out considerably ahead of the game and play on velvet elsewhere with their winnings. Quick Time. Attention is directed to the new ad. of the Fktticood on thi3 page. Her quick time between the chief cities of Oregon is in itself a splendid advertisement, and since her late im- Erovement and renovation that popular oat is the admiration of all travelers who appreciate speedy transit and cour teous treatment. With n view to mak ing still faster time between the two cities Capt. Scott advertises that after to-day freight will not be taken for way ports, which will enable the boat to make the through trip in time hitherto unequaled on the Columbia river. Seeious Illness. Miss Habersham, who has during the present term been teacbing-in the public school in district No. 1, has for the last two weeks been so ill as to necessitate relinquishing her position, at least temporarily, which is now filled by Miss AlcLailerty. Mis-5 Habersham has gone to her homo in Portland. Taxes. Some great iran once said that "Two things are sure in this world death and taxes." The fact that it costs money to run a public school and that A. 1L i'wombly wants all district No. 1 delinquents to corao to the center is duly announced elsewhere. Ohdinance No. 557. After the passage of the ordinance last evening, repeal ng section 2 of ordinance 557, Mayor Hume signed it; so that from this date restau rants in Astoria can furnish food at any hour of the day or night.

" A franchise has been granted to the Omnibus Street Car Company of San Francisco to build a cable road along the city front, south of Market street.

A gigantic railroad is contemplated in Russia, and (he czar takes the liveliest interest in it. In view of the immense benefit acouring to agriculture and com merce through completion of the net work of railroads in the United States, the Bussian government and capitalists have been encouraged to undertake a similar work for their large country. The project is nothing Ies3 than a Bassian Pacific railroad, in length that will aggre gate 11,700 English miles, and the. cost of which is estimated at a thousand mil lion rubles. It is judged that this stu pendous work will take twenty years. It is proposed that during times of peace the soldiers of the empire shall be em ployed in the construction of the road.

George was read at the last meeting of the Astoria chamber of commerce. E. C. Holden, Esq., Secretary of Astoria Chamber of Cemmerce: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of memorial for a special appro priation to improve the mouth of the Columbia river, and take pleasure in stating that I presented the same to-day and had it referred to the appropriate committee, and shall do all in my power to secure nn appropriation therefor. As vou are probably aware I have already introduced a bill appropriating TOJ,uOO for the commencement of the permanent improvement of tho mouth of the Columbia river. And while upon this subject I take occasion to return my thanks to your honorable chamber of commerce for the kind request to the speaker of th6 house of representatives asking my reappointment to the commit tee on commerce. After the preparation of tne petition, and before it was pre sented to the speaker, the house had di vided the jurisdiction of the old commit ter on commerce, constituting a- new committee, haiug special authority over rivers aud uarh'.rd. It was signified to the speaker that it undoubtedly was your intention that I should be assigned to that particular branch of the work of the committee on commerce. It was urged that as the former speaker had given to the Pacific coast two members and the chairman of the committee oncotnmerce composed of fifteen members, the new speaker could do no, less than to allow us at least two members of theuew commit tee one from California, as before, and tne other from Orecon. Of courao, I Was the only one from our northwest section that could possibly go upon that commit tee, and having been upon it, my claim was all the greater. While the speaker has personally treat ed me with regard, by assigning me to the important committee on Indian affaire, and to the committee on the re rival of American ship-building and ship owning interests, it does not seem that he has given our section of the country proper representation upon this important committee. I no longer occupy the position which enabled m to more effectually represent the interests of our common state. It will be remembered that while I was a member of the committee on commerce during the first session of the 47th con gress, the initiatory steps were taken by our "Committee that originated the river and harbor bill, looking toward the com mencement of a permanent improvement at the mouth of the Columbia. In the bill reported was a-clausa appropriating tne sum of $7,500 for the expenses of an examination by a competent board of engineers, of the whole subject matter, and calling for a report as to the feasibil ity of the scheme and the cost of the same. The result, I am happy to state, was mo3t acceptable. The board of en gineers was composed of some of the most skilled and eminent men of that profession, and the report was indeed most satisfactory. The foundation hav ing been laid.the succeeding winter there was reported from our committee room in the house, an appropriation of $75,U)J for the commencement of this great work, the only work in the whole of the United States proposed to be commenced under the provisions of the river and harbor act of that year. This bill as reported by our committee passed the house of representatives and went to the senate, where it was not act ed upon for lack of time. In view of the foregoing, and the great advantage it gave me as your representa tive to effectually speak in your behalf, I regret exceedingly that the speaker of the bouse of representatives has not des ignated mo to remain on the committee having those matters in charge'. I shall however, do the best I can to cam- out your wish and purposo, believ ing as I do, that vthe interests of the whole of the Pacific northwest will be promoted by the commencement and suc cassful completion of the imjrovement of the moutn of our great water highway. With highest regards, I have the honor to remain, Yours very respectfully, M. C. GEOBGE. Steamer Dyt for March. From San Fran. From Astoria. Columbia, Mar... 2 Oregon. 7 State, Mar 5!

The in ference from tho above would be that Gionini was innocent, and that the reverend father had become so convinced through the confession of nother. The laws of the church prohibit the priest from giving publicity to that which he has learned through the confessional, and for him to see a fellow being hanged when he holds the conclusive proof of the prisoner's innocence and mother's guilt, is indeed an unenviable lot."
