It was Julius Cajsar, who said that "all
Gaul is divided into three parts." But
the three parts must have been united
in the person of one E. Duncan Sniffen,
of New York, who has gall enough for a
hundred men. Ho writes stating what
he does with the Oregonian and Standard
and commanding us to insert his ad. It
is the opinion of The Astoeian that E.
Duncan bniffen is a fraud.

The county court was busy yesterday,
ohiefly in auditing claims. The matter
of the eastern boundary of Clatsop
county was brought up for discussion,
and the clerk instructed to write to the
county clerk of Columbia county regard
ing the question. It appears that a strip
extending two and a half miles along the
south bank of the Columbia and running
back twelve miles to the Washington
county line is properly in Clatsop county.
The clerk was also instructed to write
to the seoretary of state regarding official
county boundaries and thus determine
the question. As it stands at present
there is about thirty square miles of ter
ritory, much of which is settled, that has
been assessed in Columbia county. After
the transaction of minor business the
court adjourned to 9 this morning.
THE LADIES' COFFEE CLUB.
Agreeable to call a large gathering of
ladies met at the hall of Alert H. & L.

pose of organizing a ladies' coffee club.
The meeting was called to order by Mrs.
B. S. Worsley; Mrs. W. W. Parker was
ohosen chairman of the meeting and Mrs.
W. L. Robb, secretary. The following
officers were elected for the ensuing
term. President, Mrs. B. S. Worsley;
vice-president, Mrs. A. C. Kinney; secre
tary, Mrs. C. W. Knowles; treasurer,
Miss Mary Taylor; committee on Con

ley, Mrs. C. J. Trenchard, Mrs. Isaac
Bergman.

est approval of the ladies of the city, and
the club will be a most valuable adjunct
to the Astoria Fire Department. Nearly
every lady in Astoria nas a husband or
son or brother or some relative or ac-
Siaintanoe in whom she is interested in
e department and to whom with his
associate firemen she can render splen
did assistance. The matter is one that

A BIG GAME.
The Probable Cause or the 0. It. A X.
Reduction.
The Northern Pacific R. R. nnd the O.
R. fc N. Co. aro at present engaged in one
of the biggest games of bluff on record.
When President Harris was here about
a month ago he said that it was probable
tho O. R. & N. people would lease their
entire property to his company for a term
of ninety-nine years, in a few weeks.
Shortly after his return to New York it
became manifest that tho O. R. & N.
managers concluded they were a little
too hasty and began to exhibit an un
willingness to make the lease which had
been looked upon by the N. P. folks as
something already virtaolly accom
plished. O. R. fe N. stock went up day after day,
and the company seeing tho appreciation
and realizing that they held tho key to
the position, did not consummate the
bargain.
About this time the N. P. concluded
that the best way to force the game was
to show their strength. Accordingly an
edict went out that on and after the 1st,
wheat would bo carried from all points
east of Wallula junction to Duluth, Min
neapolis or St. Paul fcr -$8 a ton, and
would bo taken thence to Liverpool by
the lakes and Atlantic route for $7.G0 a
ton.
Of course all that is pure, simple bluff.
The N. P. cannot and will not make any
such arrangement or it would be ruiuous.
It would bo to carry wheat for less than
half a cent per ton psr mile, when such
men as Vanaerbilt, Gould and Field, who
navo the thing down to a science, say that
the actual cost to their gieut corpora
tions in carrying wheat is of a cent
per ton per mill'. But it bad its effect,
for tho same day that tho decree was
mado public, O. It. Jc N. stock began to
urop, and a counter move was necessary.
That counter move wo all seo m the re
duction of wages by the 0. 1. fc N. Co.
They simply raiso the Northern Pacific
folks 350,003 better. Tho moving of
this year's grain crop eastward instead of
westward would greatly curtail the O. R.
&N.'s revenues this fall, and the fair
presumption is that that was the inten
tion; that the O. R. fc N. peoplo should
be forced into signing tho lease rather
than lose so much business. Tho latter
now retort by virtually saying: "Go
ahead; carry the eastern Oregon and
Washington wheat eastward at a loss.
Wo can stand it. Whatever wo would
have made by tho traffic which you take
from us wo will moro than mako up by
cutting off 10 per cent of our expenses of
running, amounting to 350,000 annual
ly." Another apparent reason for reducing
the salaries is the necessity that the O.
R. &, N. folks are under of making a fair
showing of earning as a percentage on
the amount of capital invested. There
is to-day, probably, one million of dol
lars invested in O. R. fc N. boats that is
not earning one dollar. The Olympian
over on the Sound is not paying expenses,
tli6 Alaskan is tied up at Portland. All
along tho Columbia may be found boats
idle and a constant sourco of expense.
All these go to swell tho sum on which in
terest must accrue. On the principle that
a dollar saved is two dollars earned, the
O. R. & N. Co. is retrenching in the mat
ter of salaries. They figure that by cut
ting down tho wages of their employes
they can effect a saving that will enable
them to declaro a dividend and keep
their stock from depreciating in Wall
street. In this it is with them a matter
of self-defense. It is also a question of
judgment. Economy in any business is
only another name for good manage
ment. If it bo good management for tho
O. R. & N. Co. to alienate the good wishes
and aotivo co-operation of hundreds of
employes, then what they are now doing
is good business policy, but human nature
is human nature the world over, and when
a man who has pitched in and studied
his employer's interests right along finds
that he is cut down and treated as a hire
ling he is not likely to exert himself very
much or do more than he thinks is a fair
equivalent for tho wages that ho is prof
fered. As tho matter stands it is an in
teresting fight, tho question being who
will win, the Northern Pacific or the O.
R. & N. Co.
Arrested In New York.
New Yoke, Sep!. 3. Frisbie, tho Port
land, Oregon, defaulter, arrested here,
has mado a confession. He says his
brother some time ago persuaded him to
invest in a mountain mine. Ho was then
in the hosiery business in this city, but
ho went to Montana, and was mado pres
ident of a mining company. Mining did
not pay, and he went to Portland. Soon
after he was employed in the First Na
tional bank as assistant exchange clerk.
His salary did not suffice to keep him,
and he helped himself to deposits mado
by tho Oregon division of tho Northern
Pacific Railroad Company, of which he
had charge. He regularly abstracted
some portion of the contents of packages
of bills from station agents and conduc
tors which passed through his hands. He
continued stealing, and when he found
that he had taken more than he could re
pay ho ran away. With what was left ho
went with his family to San Francisco on
a sailing vessel, and then took passage in
a Pacific Mail steamer for this city.
Afterward he got tickets for Paris, think
ing to throw the police off the track. Ho
said he did not know how much ho had
taken. A small portion of tho money
was found in his possession. Detectives
left for Albany to day to get tho neces
sary papers to take the prisoner to Oro
Ron.
Farewell Party.
Miss Ella Ruckcr of Astoria was ten
dered a farewell party at tho rooms of
Mrs. W. F. Gougill, on J street noar
Fourth, last evening. Miss Rucker has
been entertained by Miss Retta Cougill
during her stay here, and last night's
party was a fitting finale to a very pleas
ant visit. About fifty of our leading
young people were present, and the even
ing was delightfully spent in "one con
tinual round of pleasure." Miss Rucker
leaves this morning for home, followed
bjr the kind remembrances of a host of
friends. Portland Chronicle, 2.

At St. John, N. B., an inspection of tho
abandoned brig Jicsolccr demonstrated
that a collision with an iceberg occurred,
followed by a sudden panic among the

were dashed by the boiling s?a against
the icebergsjud swamped, and all bauds
perished. One hundred and forty five

Tho N. Y. Star (Kelly's organ) prints a
special of a Washington correspondent
of the Cincinnati Enquirer, who, after
interviewing Dana and others,concluded:
"If I should bo broadly asked tho result
of ray conclusions, I would say the out
look hero is not hopeful. In no quarter
aro the indications such as point to a
reconciliation of factions in New York,
and if they aro not brought together the
loss of the state is conceded, not nlono
by Republicans, but by Democrats, who
aro zealously Tutting their shoulders to
the wheel to compass Cleveland's elec
tion. Tho cast of tho die is in Ohio.
Ohio can save Cleveland nnd throw tho
tide in tho Empire state. The national
Democratic committeo is beginning to
awaken to a full realization this, nnd
the immediate plans for a groat battle in
the state aro to be formulated." Tho
Star says: The correspondent's conclu
sions agree substantially with ours. Un
less the Democrats carrv Ohio next
month, tho wholo battle will bo lost, for
it is only by a signal victory there that
the shadow of a fighting chance will be
left them for any northern state, except
perhap.3 Indiana. On the other hand, it
is by no means impossible that the Re
publicans will carry Ohio in November,
after losing it in October. These are
facts, and it is useless to disguiso or mis
represent them.
