Tori Klcrrns to Ho Turned Otct lo Hip l.'nsrl seer Corps. It has been an open secret for Komc timo that the difference of opinion and rivalry between the regular army engi neers and the engineer corps could only ba settled by official interference and the matter which involved questions per taining to tho improvement of tho bar could be battled only at headquarters. mi: ASTocuK leHrns lrom a source of undoubted authority that Ft. Ste ens is ' to be turned over to the engineer corp. I aud that it will bo headquarters during J the time that the improvement of the Columbia bar is in progress. The pres ent detachment of troops will shortly receive orders to vacate and for an iudeli nate period the only war waged in the frontier fort of Oregon will be that of science and engineering skill against the waves and storms that sweep across the Columbia river bar. This will be by order of the war de partment aud is indicative of the im portance that the government attaches to the work. General Newton, the chief officer of the engineer corps of the United States, and Colonel Mendell. who has charge of all river and harbor im provement on this coast, will be here to morrow. The plans for the work have been decided upon, and as is but right in a work of such import, the highest au thoritics now come to place their'officiul sanction on the plans provided before their acceptance and tangible commence ment. The fort will be the scene of con siderable interest to all whon the great work is fairly under way. ISSITKVSCE AT SKATTI.i:. E. Niles, compact insurance manager of the northwest, who came to the Sound some time since to fix tho rate to be charged for insurance by the companies belonging to the compact, in the different towns and cities, has arrived in Stittle auiHu order that he might have o.ne idea of Seattle's appliances and facilities fcr successfully battling with the flames as well as the splendid water Hiipply fur nished by the Spring Hill "Water Com pany, Mr. Kellogg, chief of the fire de partment, ordered the two sLm engines out for a drill. 2o. 1 was connected with the firo plug at the corner of Cherry and Front streets and No. 2 wish the plug at the corner of Mill and Commercial streets. Two lines of hose were run out from each engines, j:j that four streams of water were thrown at one tins?. Water was elevated over the highest poiut on both the Occidental hotel and the Yisler Leary block. Tho tet was satisfactory, and demonstrated that with the lire plug"?, .sle.iiu fire engine. and other appliances, Seattle is not in any great duiigcr of a very extensive conflagration. Mr. Niles witnessed the exhibition with cousiJ ar able interest, and during his ten days' stay here will fully acquaint himself with all the facts regarding our lire depart incut, and our facilities for xucccnfnily battling with the fiery element. He doubtless see that the present ruinous ly high rate of insurance demanded by the compact is operating against tho best interests of the com panies, as well as against the locil agents and the property holders here. The last raise w'is made after the Spring Hill Water company had expanded i"X),O0J in furnishing the city an abundant water supply for all purposes, and after the city had contracted for the placing of fire plugs all over the city, and after thousands of dollats had been spent by city in firo appliance. Many property holders who during the old rate, carried policies on their propsrty, have failed to renew those policies, preferring to carry their own risks to vaying the extortion ate Kites demauded. This city was rated by an agent who probably had never been here. Ho went to Ta coma where there is nothing com paratively, to stay the progress of a fire, m case one gels started, aud rated all the towns on tho Sound the same as that. Of course, such a thing was unjust, and considerable fuss has been made about it. Tho result of this agitation is that Mr. Niles has been sent out here by the compact, and, no doubt, after completing his observations, the agent will hx a fair, equitable rate, which will be just to the companies and the property holders as well. Every insurance company on the coast belongs to this compact with the exception of four, and no company in tho compact can go behind the final action of Mr. Niles, after it has been rat ified by the compact board of directors.

Editob Astekian: Tho ubiquitous editorial writer for Loomis' Jovnutl, in his editorial signed "Voter," and dated at "Woodard's Laud ing. September 124, beseeches some one to point oat tho defects of the present ad ministration. A bona fide resident of that place would ba very cnlikely to ask for information on that point, as there is probably few placos in the country where money is more needed for road Purposes, and yet every resiueut oi mat place knows that it has been imposaiblo j0 gg secure a dollar of appropriation for any rosd in Pacific county, ei-cept Loom is' stage road, between Oysterville and Ilwaco. There is one defect. Another is that two of the commissioners, for some time past, were men who owned no prop erly, paid no taxes, and consequently had no interest in this county, and, in deed, it is a grave question whether they were legal members of tho board. One of theso men, Stephen Wylie. i.i again nominated for commissioner, and his de feat at the polls will bo a well merited rebuke to the ''rump' managers who selected him. Another defect is. that all business transacted for Pacific county, for the past four years, has bean done ac cording to the suggestions of John Davis, our present ''courteous"' auditor. John Davis is the same '-courteous' and 'popular' officer who accepted as bonds men for a liquor dealer's license three men who. individually or collectively, were not worth a dollar in tho world; he is 'court-eons" to the bondsmen of straw, and thus becomes -'popular" with the liquor dealers. At tho session of the board of county commissioners May, 1SX5, an order was made turning over a certain sum of money to the county fuud: this money was at that time credited to what is known as dead road districts, i. c, road districts tint had ceased to exist, and the order was very preper: but at the August term of the same year it was dis covpred that John Davi- with his usual tourtaous and affable manner,'" hadJ incorporated in that order another cer tain sum of money belonging to road districts still in existence, but which, through the negligcnco of the treasurer at that time, or through Davis' own neg ligence, :is he was then deputy treasurer fin direct violation of the law, was never accredited with the sum. It was alj discovered about the same time that the prosccutiug attorney had been com municated with in regard to the matter, and as it was liable to place Davis in a rather serious predicament, the commis sioners very 'courteously' pawcd an order to conform with the fraudulent minutes as written, and published in Tub Astosivx by John Davis. So here was a sum of money honestly due to certain road districts, needing it bad enough, turned over to a fund where it could he drawn on to pay three deputy sheriffs, or the expanses of men for putting up elec tion notices while they were on an elec tioneering tour in the interest of the "rump.' There has been too much "courtesy" and "affiblencss" among tho county offi cers during the past four years. It is "court 10118 and "affable-" to date a liq uor license back to cover a timo that liquor has becnold contrary to law. It is very "affable"' for a county auditor to act its county treasurer; it is very ''affable" for a deputy sheriff to act as auditor; it is very "courteous" and ''affable'" to al low a'deputy sheriff three dollars a day for every da- the county comm:ssioner.s are in session; but it i- all in direct oppo sition to law. Bat this is probably a minor consideration. It is also ven "courteous" and "affable'" to allow the sheriff three deputies, when the law specifies ho shall have but two under anj circumstances. So we say, give us offi cers wiio are not quite so "courteous" aud ''affable,' but will honestly expend tho people's money. There seems to bt but one way, in this country, lo provide for pets, and that is lo make them depu ty sheriffs; it is a very ''affable' way of doing business, but it is, at the sami time, very expensive to tax-payers. Look at the cost of assessing this county dur ing John Brown's first term, when he did the work himself with the help of one deputy: then look at the cost during the past four wars, when the work has been done almost entirely by deputies, while the sheriff drove stage or run a steam boat. Tiio people are tired of this; they want a f henff who will do the sheriffs work and not invariably entrust the work toadeputv, who could not ba elected constable in his own precinct. In this connection 1 am reminded of a convcrca tion which actually occurred in Oystcr- viua a shor. time age: lwo gentlemen whom, the belter to conceal their nanios. we will c-ill Davis and Stone, were con cen versing: says Davis, ''Well, Stone, j-ou are well up m tho secrets of the new par ty, what do yon proposo to do any way?" W ell, replied Stone, wo propose to elect r.. is. ood auditor. 'Very wcll,"says Davis, ''but how about Whitcomb for sheriff?" "O," says Stone, 'it is liko this;"' if you ask "a man about Whitcomb for sheriff he says "O, yes, Whitcomb is all right; he's a good man, an honest man and we all like him. bat d n old llccd." There is the whole thing in a nutshell. It is useless for any candidate for sheriff on the rump ticket, to say he will not ap point Heed for deputy: if they make him sheriff they will see that he makes Keed deputy. Keed has become a barnacle, and must be scraped off. The principal reason urged to the elec tion of John Davis to a third term, is that he is ''courteous, affable' aud has alreadv served two terms: then if he- serves three terms it will bo still more imperative to elect him to a fourth, and so on lotheend of time. But the people wiiiueciuem jvovenioer wiietucr John Davis and Beed shall be pensioners on this county or not. Loomis paper admits lhat E. B. Wood. the Union candidate for auditor is capa- uie, wen euucuieu auu oi pieasiug ad dress, but urges against him, that he is a young man, and has never been auditor. His youth is owing to circumstances over viiicn no nau no control, and the voters of this county will try and make arrange ments in November, to break the force of thes2cond chrrje. To the qualifications admitted wo will add that, though young, he has already filled positions of great responsibility with credit to himself and to the satis faction of all parties concerned, and has never yet been accused of dishonesty or a mean action. C-in tho rump claim as much for their candidate? During the past week it seems tho rump has suc ceeded in finding a man to fill the va cancy on their ticket. Wm. D. Taylor, the present sheriff (in name only) has consented, it seems, to try and provido a place for Beed in case Whitcomb fails, but it won't do; the people will not have Beed nor any man who proposes to make him deputy. Loomis' editor very pertinently asks, "are we voting for men, or to give our friends lucrative employment?" There is not a man or woman on the Union ticket, bat alreadv has lucrativo employment' But how is it with Davis and Beed in caso tho rump ticket is de feated? Work, liko a horrible night mare, stares them in tho face. What right has the rump to adopt the name of Bepublicans? Who constitutes uierumppanyr wo Journal, a paper iuirouuceu anu suosiuized oy Ji.

Beed is tho other member of this triumvirate, or, shall wo admit Bowen and make tho rump a quadrate. These thrc6or four men constitute tho rump party; thoy call the conventions, make the nominations and run tho "machine;" or rather they make thonominations-and then call the conventions. They draw aliko from all parties for their candi dates and call themselves the Bepublican parly! Every one knows Webster s defini tion of rump: do they not fill tho bill? Let us call them tho rump.

We have waited for Tom Merry, tho necrologist of tho North Pacifio coast, to write concerning tho death of the fa mous Frank Chanfrau who was an orna ment to tho stage and a credit to tho band of bright mon that nightly appear before tho footlights. Frank S. Chanfrau died on tho morn iug of Oct. .), in .Jersey City, whero he was filling an engagement. His death took place about twelve hours after an attack of paralysis, which was succeeded by one of apoplexy. Francis S. Chanfrau was born in New York Citv, at "The Old Tree House," Bowery and Pell street, February 22, 1S24. His father was a French officer on tho vessel which brought La Fayetto to the United States. Finding his "destiny" in New York he resigned his position and married her. He was unfortunato in business, and at the timo of Frank's birth, was a porter, and lived in a tene ment house. Frank, the third of his four sous, was but poorly educated. At an earlv age ho attempted to earn a liv ing as a hatter. Not finding this a gen ial occupation the lad removed to Cleve land, whero he became a ship builder, and helped build the first steamboat which ever sailed from that port. Find ing tho work too hard for him, Frank returned to New York and picked up a liv ing precariously for a year or two. It was while the victim of these disheartening circumstances that his ability as a mimic put him in the way which led to fortune, i'he enjoyment of his associates when he indulged them with life pictures of char acters familiar jto them, induced him to join an association of amateurs known as the "Dramatic institute." He seems to have been connected with this organiiKi tion before migrating to the west, and on his return to Now York availed himself of the acquaintance with players which it had brought him by seeking a position on the stage. His first salaried engage ment was as '"super" at the old Bowery theater, supplemented as a means of live lihood by various employments daring the day. Ho earned for himself what was better for himthsn immediate suc cess, tho appreciation of his colleagues, who wondered at his successful imitations if theatrical psople, among whom were Tom Hambliu, manager of tho houso in which he was empleyed: tho elder Booth aud Edwin Forrest. Hambliu heard of his success and promoted him lo be a utility man. Previously to this event, which gavo him a fair start in the profes sion, Chanfrau was a member of the volunteer lire department of New York, aud ran with a well-known "machine known as tho "Old Maid." His experi ences while engaged in this occupation g.ivts him tho material for His first profes sional triumph. After having been at tho Old Bjwery theater some years, Chan frau played "second juvenile" business at tho old Park theater, and, in 1818, was engaged as leading comedian at William Mitchell's Olympic theater. Thero his imitations of well-known actors, as "Jer ry Clip"' in '"The Widow's Victim," gave him considerable popularity as an actor. Soon after he had joined Mitchell's companj" Benjamin Baker, stage manager of the Olympic, and now secretary of tho Actors' 1 und, wrote a sketch entitled A Glanco of New York. Tho part of Mose, a fire laddy, was intrusted to Chanfrau, whose appearance was thus described by a local chronicler of that date 181S: "He stood there in his shirt, with his fir coat thrown over his arm. The stove pipe hat then known as the plug was drawn down over one eye, his trousers turned into his boots, tho stump of a cigar pointei up nt an angle of 45 deg., his soaplocks plastered fiat on his temple, and his jaw protruding with a half hu man expression of contemptuous ferocity. Not a hand, not a foot moved to give him welcome until, taking tho cigar stump from hb mouth and turning half way round to give his inimitable spit, he exclaimed, "I ain't a goin' ter run wid dat machine any more.' In a moment tho audience rose, yelling with delight, for thov recognized tho familiar portraiture. Tho next night tho theater was jammed, and so it continued to be for several mouths." Mosg was the mak ing of Chanfrau. who played it in the old Chatham theater night after night after finishing at the Olympic. This dual arrangement was continued during six months, with Chanfrau as one of the three partners who leased tho Chatham street house. Tho pieco played there was called New York As It is, and was also written by Mr. Baker. Chanfrau's Mose outlived both of these trilling plays, and figured also in Tho Mysteries und Miseries of New York, Three Years and After, Mose Married, and Mose in California. Chanfrau's success as "Mose" made him a capitalist. Looking around for a promising mean? of investment he dis covered that Brooklyn, then containing 100,030 inhabitants," needed a theater. He provided one by tho conversion of an armory, engaged a good company, and actually, or in sums for which credit was given, sunk 22WX) in tho venture. To escapo tho persecutions of creditors he accepted an invitation, given him by Chas. B. Thorne, to sail for California. When he returned to Now York he was worth $23,0J0. "Mose" had made him this snug little fortune in a short time. Earlv in the sixties Chanfrau added Thos. B. DoWaldcn's "Sam" to his rep ertory, which had pretty well consisted of "Moso" in various phases of life, down to that time. It proved a hit, but one less decided than tho leading part in "Kit, the Arkansas Traveler," which was first produced during the winter of 1870, and was acted in Now York for tho first timo May 9, 1871. Edward Spencer was tho writer of the pieco which provided Chanfrau the means of his greatest achievement as an actor. As "Kit Bed ding," he exhibited all his gifts and at tainments to tho beat advantage, and did not live to need another character in tho slender list with those with which he has "starred" for a oenoration. He had been billed to play "Kit" tho same evening in which ho was fatally stricken by disease. The departed actor was a generous and noble-minded man, correct in his habits, and a model husband and father. Ho was a liberal entertainer, interesting, jovial and humorous, and unsurpassed in his powers of mimicry, with which ho was wont to set tho table on a roar. His marriage to Miss Henrietta Baker took place at Cincinnati in July, 185G. She was a star actress at tho time. The older of their two children, both sons, is an actor already of considerable reputation, though only 2-t years old? the younger is at a boarding school in New York. Mra. unantrau survives her husband. Chanfrau was worth ?300,0C0. Ho pos sessed considerable property at Long Branch, which bo mado his residence for tho past nineteen years of his life, and New York. As an instance of exemplary filial feeling may bo men tioned that he bought and furnished a country seat for his parents at Yonkera. Both his parents died there, and the place was sold for 25,000. In personal presenco Chanfrau was handsome and large. He had a fine face, the faithful index of his noble disposition. Board at TcfTs. The bast in America. S20.00 a month.
