There will be a meeting of Columbia river fishermen at the court house at two o'clock this afternoon to take steps to ward the removal of the fish traps from the mouth of the Columbia river. There is a feeling that these fish traps have been the cause of a good many fatal ac cidents this season, and it is to givo ex pression to that feeling that the meeting is called. CANNING FRUIT. The following extract is perhaps not unseasenable: "As the season of ripe fruit advances, 1 prepare such quantities of syrup ns I think I may need in this way: Three pounds of granulated sugar to one gallon of water and boil twenty minutes. This I put in glass jars, when cool, and set away for future use. Pears, peaches, apples, plums, pineapples, rhubarb, crab apples, in fact, all fruits of this kind, I peel, quarter and place in a dish of cold water (to prevent discoloration), until I have prepared enough to fill a jar; 1 then pack them as solid as possible in a jar and then fill the jar with the svrup pre viously prepared. I then place a wire stand in the bottom of my preserving kettle on which to place the jar, then fill the kettle with cold water until the jar is two-thirds covered; leave the jar open but cover the kettle and boil until the fruit is sufficiently soft; have ready a lit tle boiling syrup, if needed, to fill the jar to overflowing. Then place the rub ber band around the neck of the jar and screw the cover on as tightly as possible; then in from three to five minutes give the cover another turn, in order to be sure it is air tight, and you will have no more trouble with it."

All day The As tobian olllco was besieged by thoao anxious to hear fiom Chicago. About ten tho wires began to work all right, but an accumulation of privato dispatches that had first to bo got out of tho way made it impossible to get anything from Chicago. About throe o'clock came n lull, and then the single .sentence ''Cleve land nominated on second ballot."" As quick as half a dozen men could put it in tyro and on tho press The Astoioax had an extra on the street, containing the an nouncement and a biography of the nominee. The news was received in Astoria with surprise, and little enthusiasm, as every one supposed that the convention would finallv take Thurmr.n. The details of the vote are very mea ger. It seems that at one time yesterday morning it was believed in the conven tion that Hendricks and Bavnrd would bo the ticket, then Randall "had a little boom, but when Pennsylvania withdrew Randall's name and went for Cleveland, it was evident that the New York man had captured the works. California. which had all along been for Thurman, cast her sixteen votes for Cleveland. THE BA1XOT&. The first ballot was taken on Thursday afternoon, resulting as follews: Bayard 170, Cleveland S92, McDonald 5C. Randall 78, Thurman F3, Carlisle 27, Hoadlv S, Hendricks 1, Tilden 1, Flower 4. Tho convention immediately adjourn ed, and upon convening yesterday, Cleve land was nominated bv the following ballet: Cleveland CSS, Bayard 81, Hen dricks 4CK. Thurman 4, McDonald 2, Randall 4. On motion the nomination was made unanimous, and the conven tion edjourned to 5 v. m. Following is the latest: Chicago, July 119 r. m. The conven tion, upon reassembling, proceeded to ballot for vice president. Thos. A. Hen dricks, of -Indiana, was unanimously nominated. Thi Turin Haul la the Dpaofrulic Plat form. We denounce tho Republican party for having failed to relievo the people from the crushing war taxes which have paralyzed business, crippled industry and deprived labor of employment and of just reward. The Democracy pledtjes itself to purify the administration from corruption, to restore economy, to revive respect for the law, and to reduce taxa tion to the lowest limit consistent with due regard to the preservation of the faith of the nation to the creditors and pen sioners; knowing full well, however, that legislation affecting tho finances of tho people .should be cadtious and conserva tive in mothed: not in advance of public opinion, but resnonsne to its demands, the Democratic party is pledged to re vise the tariff in u spirit of fair ness to all interests, rat in mak ing a reduction in taxes it is not proposed to injure airy domestic industries, but rather promote their healthy growth. From the foundation of this government taxes collected at the custom-house have been tho chief source of federal revenue: such thev must continue to be. More over, many industries have come to rely upon tho legislature for their successful continuance, so that any change of law must be at every step regardful of the labor and capital thus involved. The process of reform must be subject in tho execution to this plain dictate of justice: all taxation shall bo limited to the re quirements of an economical govern ment. Tho necessary reduction in taxes can and must be effected without de priving American labor of the ability to competo successfully with foreign labor, and without imposing lower rates of duty than will bo ample to cover any incieased cost of production which may exist in consequence of the higher rates of wages prevailing in this country. Sufficient revenue to pay all expenses of the federal government, economically ad ministered, including pensions, and the interest and principal of tho public debt, can be got, under our present system of taxes, from custom house taxes on fewer imported articles, bearing the heavieht on articles of luxury, and bearing the lightest on articles of necessity. We therefore denounce the abuses of the existing tariff, and subject to these limitations we demand that federal taxa tion shall be exclusively for public pur poses, and shall not exceed the needs of tho government economically adminis tered. The system of direct taxation, known as the "inlernel revenue," is a war tax, and so long ns the law continues the duty derived therefrom should bo sa credly devoted to the relief of the people fronTthe remaining burdens of the war, and be made a Tund to defray tho ex penses of the care and comfort of worthy soldiers disabled in the line of duty in tho wars of the republic, and for the pay ment of such pensions as congress may from time to time grant to such soldiers, a like fund for the sailors having been already provided, and all surplus should be paid into the treasury.

J Vfhat a Steward Knows About "Tips" on the Steamers Between "Here and San Francisco. A young man employed in the stew ard's department of tho Oregon steamers remarked that he had learned to under stand human nature pretty well, and, hoping to open tho floodgates of gossip which seem to flow spontaneously from all seafaring men, a Chronicle reporter requoated the philosopher to relato some of his experiences and observations of people tossed and pitched into reckless despair while compelled to inhale an at mosphere of coal gas. chloride of lime and other intolerable odors, the presence of which being a certain, if not neces sary, adjunct to all steamships. 'Well, you see," was the response, 'wo have to a'tend to the wants of the pas sengers, nnd even op. a trip of fonr or five days their characters are opt to be dis nlaved. A nroud 3uan becomes meek as a child when he gets seasick, and n timid person sometimes becomes irritable and unmanageable when raving with the in evitable fever which the voya'ge produces on at least four-fifths of those who travel with us. Sometimes only one or two persons are able to sit down at meals, excepting of course the ship' company, who, on account of their constant life ou the ocean, seldom become seasick.' SEASICK SAILOE5. Do the officers or sailors ever become seasick? "Ves the first mute of our .steamer had an attack of "Oh, my a short time ago. It was during a violent storm off the coast of Oregon, and, although he stood his watch on deck and tried manfully to hide tho evidence of his affliction, it was all in vain, flo even attempted to ap pear drunk, so anxious was he to screen his name from the stigma of having been seasick. He failed to deceive the boys, however, nnd all hands were treated to grog nf the mate's expense when the storm had abated. Sailors who have spent several months on shore often be come seasick whfi they return to their natural element. But n roustabout deck hand is not so proud of his sea legs as a mate, and when a sailor feels impelled to 'heavo Jonah' he stands not upon cere mony, but at once proceeds to divest himself of all tho surplus bilo which his shore-tainted stomach affords, and, if verv sick, will request the officer in cha'rge to allow him to retiro to his bunk. A few hours will usually restore him to his normal condition. 1 know x captain who runs a steamer between this port and China who never makes a trip without getting more or less seasick. He, how ever, frankly confesses his weakness, and the captain "is doubtless ns good n navi gator as any who sail on the Pacific ocean.' TIPriNO WAITERS. "How are tho passengers about 'tipping1 the waiters? "Well, every person -who travels first class is expected to fee his waiter, al though tho matter is left entirely to his volition. Some people give small amounts, some give liberally and others will under no circumstances donate a cent. Estimating the value of a pros pective fee is where wo waiters exhibit our best judgment of human nature. Now, I can stand nnd watch the" people going up tho gang-phmk rnd guess with in a very small fraction of how much each person will pay for the attentions of a waiter on the trip. One I might place at $1, another fifty cents, another at 2.50, another at $5, etc You may bo sure that I wouldn't miss on the general aggregate 3 per cent on tho dollar." 'How do they rate from a national standpoint?" "Well, until I got to htudying this bus iness, I never thought there was Mich a vast difference in the lilerality of peoplo from different countries. The first on the list of free givers aro western Ameri cans; among them I includo foreign born Pacific coasters, though the native born rank as the most liberal people in the world. Tho Boston and other eastern tourists are mean in their regard for services rendered. They act consequen tial and order the waiter around with pompous grandeur, but haggle over a quarter as though it bioe their hearts to part with it. They are really too mean to get seasick. An Eng lishman will search through the ship to find and feo his waiter but 25 or !'." or 50 cents is as much as ono of them generally gives. The Mex icans and South Americans are generally liberal, but the Scotch and Russians generally penurious. Passengers who hail lrom the Latin countries of Europe are never expected to give a cent. Now I'll give you another surprise. The Chi nese cabin passengers aro almost as good patrons of the exiectant waiter as any claas of people who travel. 1 only speak of those traveling first class, comprising merchants and other wealthy Chinamen. Each waiter has six staterooms to take care of, and n waiter rejoices to seo a Chinaman among tho list of guests in his section of rooms." "Do you have any voice in selecting the passengers whom you serve?" AUCTIONIXO TEES. "No, Sometimes I am fortunate in getting a good paying crowd inmv rooms and at other times they may all be stingy and close. When I feel doubtful about the matter I put them up for sale at the 'tip auction held daily m the steward's room down stairs." "The 'tip auction'? What is that ?" "Well, the auction results from lack of confidence held by the owner of a pros pective fee to be obtained at the end of the voyage. The seller is privileged to make the first bid, after which he is com pelled to accept the highest bidder above his starting price. I have by judicious buying and selling mado twice the amount which the trip would otherwise have netted me. The seller does the col lecting, and it is funny to seo the disgust ed expression on the face of tho fellow who haR sold short on a good, customer, and has to turn over 3 or $4 to his com rade who bought the prospect for CO cents. Not long ngo a little darkey sold what he considered a stingy old French man for 15 cents; you can imagine his chagrin when on arrival at Portland the aged Gaul handed him $5 in silver.1 The Leading Publications At Carl Adler's at publishers' prices.

When he was a mere lad in Jackson County, where ho first saw tho light of day, of poor but honest parents, he early conceived a fondness for tho fiddle. Ev ory time a party they were called parties in those good old days, now they are soir ees was gotten up at any of the noigh bors', young John was sont for to do tho fiddling. His music was captivating .and finally it got to that point where tho girls said thoy wouldn't dance if John Alexan der Logan didn't fiddlo." One night thero was a dance for a prize a barrel of apple jack to the man who could dance lon gest. Young Logan fiddled until each man contestant had retired to his comer. Then jumping on the puncheons he kept on fiddling nnd danced the while. The fiddle string cracked, but htill John Alex-, ander Logan kept up tho sailor's horn pipe until the apple-jack was rolled out. A number of the good old ladies of Jack son County who were girls then remem her the incident, especially since the Senator's nomination, lie was uncom monly smart then and they knew he had outcome to him. Chicago Ifertild. . Colored 3Iaon.i. In California, as well as in uearlv every state in the union, tho colored Ma sons aro a separato and distinct organ ization from those, of Caucasian origin. The sovereign grand lodge of California, which recently held its session in Stock ton, was without n single white repre sentative. Outsiders sometimes consider it rather singular that masonry, which professes not to regard the outside quali fications of men, should be opposed to recognizing colored men ns brothers. The reason for this, however, is found in th. fact that the negroes secured their char ters and ritual from Lngland. On this account American lodges refuse to recog nize them. .In the south this alienation is carried to the extreme. During the war a southern man's house was foraged by some northern soldiers, anion" them being a sergeant, an ex-slave, nnd as black as midnight. Tho soldiers slipped a noose over the southerner's head and demanded to know where he had hidden his silver and gold. Ho declined to tell. "I'll never tell," he said. They threw the rope over a limb, jerked him into the air and tied him up to die. Unablo to speak, he made a certain masonic sign and the negro sergeant sprang forward and un did the rope. When the power of speech returned to tho half-choked man ho looked into tho face of his deliverer, and still without recognizing him masonical ly, asked, with incredible astenishment: "What in the did yon know about that sign? The ex-slave answered: "You need not hold masonic converse with me tudess yon so desire, but notli iug can prevent mo from doing mv duty to all Masons under the sun." The Us! or YHIartl' (IneMs. The oue remaining relic of Henry Yil Iard's Northern Pacific junket has just been shipped home to Germany in the person of Victor Andre. He has two bul lats in him and is not in a satisfactory state of health. He came to this coun try in company with the German and Au strian barons, on whom Villa rd hoped to unload a few millions of stock and made the trip with them over the raid. Re turning to New York, he tarried there, like many of his companion, enjoying Villard's hospitality, and apparently loth to bid him adieu. Thero he met Miss Jenny Almy, a pretty girl, and affection sprang up, resulting in an engagement of marriage. Tiring of her after a while, ho enst her off, and she. armed with a re volver, sought him out on tho street,shot him; then putting the revolver to her head killed herself. It was thought that ho too would die, but the sur geons managed tojfjsnvo him and, ho now returns to his home, after having passed tho greater part of the winter in a hospital, well satisfied that this is a great country. So far as has been learned, ho is the only member of that celebrated excursion who does not still feel that it was good to have been here. He is the only one who spent a cent, at all events.
