Mr. "Wood is a graduate of Columbia law school, and of West Point. The Mountain Queen came down with flag at half mast yesterday afternoon, in respect to the meraorv of the little son of Capt. U. B. Scott, who died at Cathlaiuet yesterday morning, of diphtheria. The little fellow had been ill several days and was supposed to be getting well when the fatal attack seized him. It looks slightly ridiculous to read the accounts of the different county conven tions in this state, where two, three and four representatives are nominated and then reflect that Clatsop county with just as much population and measurably greater interests, hasn't even one repre sentative but must ask leave of Tilla mook to send a man to represent this oity at Salem. But the only thing to do this time is to send a man that will count as two in the legislature. Whom shall it bt?

Admiral Upshur, in command of the Pacific squadron, has full control of the vessel's movements. A resolution endorsing petitions of various citizens Asking for an ocean mail service betwtou here and Tillamook was passed and the chamber adjourned to meet next Mouday evening. Another Burglar. It is simply a question as to ''Who was it this time?" Well, "this time" it was Nio Davich. The programme was varied somewhat by going in the front way in stead of doing tho rear act a hereto fore. Sometime last Tuesday night the gentlemen who are working the town un disturbed by any fear of detection, went into Nio's place bt business and scooped in the money and money drawer, in all something over $G0. It might be well for the "night force" of police to leave their watche3, money, etc., at homo be fore starting on their respective beats. They are liable to be robbed any night, and should they discover it in the morn ing it would be dreadfully embarrassing. Tillamook Democratic Convention. The democratic county couvoutiuii for Tillamook county met pursuant to call on the 12th day of April, 18S4, at Lincoln, and organized by the election of A.B. Hal look chairman, and W. T, Nowcomb sec retary. The convention nominated a full county ticket to bo voted for at the Juno election as follows, to-wit: For commissioners, Wm. Rhodes, H. F. Hol den; clerk, Jos. Whiting; sheriff, John J. Turner; treasurer, J. L. Story; assessor, J. F. Stockers; surveyor, W.T. Newcorab; school superintendent, Claud Thayer; coroner, Dr. Patohen.

Tho cross-examination of Frazier went on yesterday at the hospital.- In sub stanoe he says that on tho night of the shooting he was sober; may have taken one glass but no more; met Besve3 at the Coach and Horses; man there asked him to take Beeves home; Beeves was pretty full; he (Beeves) had a revolver and said he "was prepared for those who would tackle him; that he wanted Frazier to go back nd finally said he'd make him, at the same time drawinc his revelver: that he shoved Beeves' pistol away and ran towards the mess house, Beeve3 following him; that there he got a club and faced Reeves, who first ran but finally turned and fired, whereapon he fell and was car ried to J. C. Trull inger's office, Beeves returning and making further threats. Owing to his weak condition further ex amination was postponed till to-day.

Representative George of Oregon .-niil to-day, concerning tho status of tho Astoria lnnd grant for feiture bill, that ho w provoked at tho dolay of tho hou&e in not resuming con sideration of the bill. Tho amendments offered by George to exempt tho rond' Morrison's tariff measure is under bed and tho n ht of v,av over public oonaidenmuii in the houso of represent lands Huiie the completed portion to Mo-. '. ,r . nn. , nn Minn7iile from forfeturo and paic, as the bill piuvidod, and to protect the rights of individual purchasers in reasonable sized tract r. and good faith settlers, whether claiming from the company or the gov ernment, and to correct a gross and care less blunder in the reported bill, confirm ing to the Oregon and California com pany tho unearned part to xVstoria with out buildii.g another mile of road, are manifestly just and fair and in accord ance with the disposition and feclinc of rlw houst.. The oommitteo has nr.ic.tif!-! n ,a u i - r..u ,. u.jm:H"'"u uawui """'isible. n,is injunction is ured upon ble is apprehended on that score. : them a a religions duty. The ronifining amendment offered b George was to omit earned lands along tho route of the road completed twelve years ago, from Portland to McMinuvilie. "from tho effects of forfeiture. Thi- amendment will be submitted to a vote of the house. He feels satisfied that it will bo carried, from general expressions among members. Although the report of the committee was unanimous, yet the investigation already had has caused a halt, and several members of the com mittee have not only announced thoir in tention of voting for the amendment, but of also spsaking in its favor. With the bill thus amended, as desired by George, it will bo substantiallv the .same as the senate bill reported by Slater, except that 1 ts,e"at8T!ii,:,;oulai,1i0 V??? lS ociucio. ii, win uiuuaun uuaa wo uuuao without opposition. George announced when the bill was before the house that with thft adoption of this amendment he should support it. The bill presented by Mr. George dif fers materially from the bill grafted by the Astoria Chamber of Commerce and forwarded to Mr. George for introduction Jast November. That bill was worded as follows: "iin it enacted by the Senate and House of llepresentatives of tho United States of America in Congress assembled. "That all lands which were granted by congress in the y6ar 1870 to the Oregon Central Bailroad company to aid in con structing a rnilrosd and telegraph line from Portland to Astoria, and from a suitable point of junction near Forest Grove to tho Yamhill river near McMinn ville, in the state of Oregon, and which has not been patented by the United States te said company under said grant which has expired by limitation, are hereby declared forfeited to the United States and transferred to the public do main, and this includes all such lauds within twenty-five miles of the proposed line of said road, on either side thereof, both in Washington Territory and in Oregon, and these lands shall hereafter be disposed of aa other public lands of the United States." Upon receipt of that bill, Mr. George wrote in reply that tho above bill had boon amendd by him and introduced. He ea.-s: 'It seems to me that the bill ah i&nt was taking away what wo already had without any guarantee as to tho future Whether or not congress will be disposed to continue any guarantee may bo a ques tion, but I thought it best to provide for tho settlers in thce laud and for the creation of a fund composed of tho pro ceeds accruing from the sale of said lauds, and the even numbers also, during tho next ten years, the same to be set aside and given to the first company that will build and equip the uncompleted portion of the railroad," etc As understood here, there were three bills, the one that tLe Astoria cham ber of commerce sent and intrusted to George to put before the houso as it was; the one that Judge Payson intro duced and which was unanimously rec ommended for adoption by tho commit tee to whom it was referred, and tho one that Mr. George drafted and introduced. The one now before the lions-, and the delay over which "provokes" Mr. George, is top-heavy with amendments. There is one in particular which evinces Mr. George's kindly consideration (for the railroad company) and which affords in teresting precedent for future congres sional action if succepsful. According to this novel pleading all that a railroad company need do when given a condi tional grant is to select tho easiest part of tho route, that which is most thickly settled, and where the land is of greatest present value, build that.nnd thus 'earn" the contiguous land and let the rest go; if that be proper action it greatly sim plifies similar legislation concerning other grants. However, tho bill is before the house and may come up at any hour. It is probably the best that can b'e done under the circumstances, and in the ab sence of fuller information concerning the details of the bill as finally offered for congressional action, further com ment is deferred.

Senator Doip'u and Bcpresentativo George appeared last Tnesdaj' before the secretary of the treasury to protest against any reversal of tho former rul ings concerning the daty on twin6 used in catching salmon. Tht v claimed that tho origin:-.! tariff 'icl inttfidc to favor bomi I:.J.Jslrifs ta 'aged in iLihiug and cann .ig, nl tltat the Columbia river fishing interests should not be sacrificed; and they strongly urged favorable con- sideration of their claims Gaueral Dsnver, of Ohio, is being boomed as tho Democratic presidential nominee. A Cincinnati dispatch says: Considerable interes s being expressed in the movement in favor of General Denver ns the Democratic dark horse for the Chicago convention. It is claimed that he comes of mixed Irish-German stock, is a southerner by birth, has done good work in advancing tho interests of tho west, has a live war record,is a sound constitutional lawyer, and is the second choice of many of the Democratic politi cal leaders, especially of the Morrison stripe. Latest advices from Shanghai indicate that tho Chinese government is greatly exorcised at the recent French successes in Tonquin. Persons in any way respon sible for tho reverses are being degraded and punished, and active measures are being taken to prevent further los3 of prestige. The viceroy of Canton has been publicly degraded for refusing to obey orders. Officers answerable for the loss of Bacninh have been condemned at Pekin to receive punishment. Affairs at Pckin are represented to be in an ex tremety critical condition, and adminis trative changes of great importance arc imminent. In thu houso last Tuesday, Bepresent fltivo George, introduced a bill to allow the unloading of bulky freight at places within collection districts, to be desig nated by the secretary of the treasury, which is similar to Dolph's bill already passed in the senate. He also introduced a bill granting the right of way over pub lic lauds to tho Lost Lake and Mount Hood Improvement company of Oregon, who wish to build a wagon road from Lort Lake to Mount Hood. Ho also in troduced bills appropriating 529,000 for the improvement of Tillamook bay, Ore gon, and $l.j,0?J each for Siuslaw and Aisea bay.s, all three of which were re ferred to tue committee on rivers and harbors. Several English detectives have arrived in Paris for the purpose of tracing dyna miters. In spito of Colonel Magendie's report it is declared that the dynamite used hi tho Victoria station was made at p factory between Amieu and Boulogne. A rumor is afloat that an attempt will shortly be made to blow up one of the public buildings in London. The activi ty of the dynamiters continues unabated. They meet twice a week for the purpose of making plans and preparations for future oulr.,jes. It is believed the Eng lish and French police are fully acquaint ed with their movements, and'that every offort will be made to counteract the plot. It is also believed that one of the most trusted dynamite leaders keeps the police fully informed of all their plans. Concerning the drop in Oregon Im provement stock, Tuesday's 2'rioune says it is understood tho company is in finan cial difficulties; that it owes its laborers recently engaged in construction about $375,000, and requires at least $G00,000 to complete an.: equip its projected road, and that it now has a floating indebted ness of nearly 1,500,000; but its chief embarrassment is said to be due to the dispute between it and the Northern Pa cific Hailroad company about the title to S0,00 acreb of coal lands on Green river, aoout tuiriy muea irom Seattle. When Villard was president of the Northern Paoifio, an arrangement was made by which these lands were transferred to the Oregon Improvement company, and in reoent reports the lands are montioned umong its assets. It is said now that the actual transfer was never made, and that tho Northern Pacific directors have re fused positively to surrender the prop erty, in compliance with a recent demand by tho Improvomont company. In the senate on the 14th, Senator Slater introduoad a bill declaring for feited unearned land grants to tho North ern Pacifio Bailroad company for con struction of a railroad and telegraph line from Lake Superior to Portland, Oregon. The bill provides that whsre pre-emptors have settled upon lands within the limit of the land grant hereby forfeited, they shall have the right to enter the same to the extent of 160 acres, in tho general land office and obtain patents therefor. When pereons have crops upon railroad lands under leases from the Northern Pa cific oompany, time is allowed by the bill within which they may be remoTed,and for all lands sold by the company from earned portions of tho grant, after the passage of tho bill, they are required to accopt not more thae $1.25 per aore. Slater gave notice that to-day he would make a speech upon tho general subject of land grants to railroad corporations, and for that purpose he asked that the bill lay upon the table. Tho request wa6 granted. He has prepared extended re marks, which are now being printod. Steamer Daj-s for April. From San Fran. From Astoria.

The contract for furnishing tho lumber for the Northern Pacific Terminal com pany's buildings at Albina, has boen let to the Northern Pacific Lumbering and Manufacturing company. Nearly 2,000, 000 feet of lumber is called for in the contract. The price paid for carrying lumber from Coos bay to San Pedro, Cut, is $6 per thousand. Ten cents per thousend is paid for towago at San Pedro and $1 per ton for ballast on tho return trip. The skippers say then is nothing very big in the business for them. There is a proposition beforo tho pub lic lands committee creating tho Quil lieute laud district in Wrshiugto-i. ft provides that all that portion r.f Vasj mgton comprising the counties of Clt.l lam, Island, Jefferson, Kitsap, Kin1 , Sm Juan, Skagit, Snohomish, and Wh.itcm shall constitute a separate land district, to be called tho (Juillieuto land district, the offics of which shall be located at Port Townsend. A petition is in circulation in Portland and elsewhere which has already been ex tensively signed, to be presented to tho next state legislature looking to tho pas sage of a new lien law. The law now in force in this state does not give perfect satisfaction, and it is said every other state in the Union has a bettor one. What is required is a law tlnt will be more just and effective one that, .vhile Erotectiug the rights of tho owners of uildings and other improvements, will secure to manufacturers the price of ma terial furnished and to the laborers and mechanics the just reward of their daily toil upon such buildings and improve ments. These are the principles oxpresstd in the petition, a recognition of which by political parties in th;s state is re quested.
