White frost glittered on the sidewalks in the ravs of tha risin sua vosterdav morning; the air wus icy and the firs on the hills across rue river seemed but a mile away. Bidding roses blooming in the open air formed a strange contrast to their frosty covering, and fared badly at the blighting touch of the ice king that sometimes indicates but is never able to make his presence felt in this fa Tored section where the warm breath of the Paciho drives back his western ad Tanoe. The toothsome torn cod catchable along the docks have lost their flavor for the Chinese since they found out that thev could c itch red mouthed suckers nearer shore, and during last week they have been busy fishinc through the cracks in the plants. Hie favorite feeding grounds of the sucker are of a nature that ren ders them objectionable to a Caucasian pilate but the Chinaman isn't at all squeamish about those matters and calm ly takes the succulent sucker to his stew San regardless of the contents of the 3b's stomach. Referring to the drowning of the two men who were swept off the Willamette by p huge wave while that vessel wan cro33ing the bar last Wednesday, the following additional information is fur nished Tai Abtobias by two eye witness es of the affair: The steamer was on the outer edge of the breakers when the wave struck her anJ washed the- two men overboard. From the fury of the wind and the height of the waves it is the opinion of our informants who are members of the life saving crew that the unfortunate men gtirvivod but a few minutes. The steamer made no signals to the cape, but kept on until in smoother water when abe turned around (which was as soon oa ah could in safety) and went down almost abreast of Clatsop spit, but find ing no trace or tne poor zeiiows, recross ed the bar and proceeded to Astoria. One of the eye witnesses says that in all hia vhrts on the bar he never saw a migntier wave than that which struck the vessel and filled her deok with water carrying two ot ner crew to eiemuy.

"Agents of Pa- cifio railroads aro here with, every appli- anco to defeat bills now before congress, ; declaring forfeited certain of their land grants," said Chairman Cobb of the house committee on public lands to-day, 'and I look for one of the hardest fights of the session over these matters. The railroads have pooled thoir issues and organized a stronglobby, which has plen ty of money to 6pend, and evidently mean to work hard to prevent their lands from leaving them. They have a good many friends in congress, and I have not tho slightest doubt but what there are tventy members of the housa directly interested in these grants, and they do not hesitate to say that they believe that it is a good thing for these gigantic cor porations to absorb publio 4ands.,? Mr. Cobb was of the opinion, however, that some of the . forfeiture laws would be enacted this winter, despite the rail roads. There are several bills sow on the house calendar, and it was likely that the one .relating to tBe Northern Pacific railroad would bo brought up drst. The committee on public lands will have its first meeting to-day, and arrangt ts plan of action. It has ten forfeiture rills yet to report, but these will be ready in a few weeks.

These lands are worth $10 an aore, upon an iverage, and their total value is all of $350,000,000; and an English syndicate has offered to buy tho whole tract foi ?30J,000,U03 if tho title can be made .jood. Settlers upon these lands make oitter complaint that the railroad now demands of them'$20 and $30 an acre foi their homesteads, although it was anderstood when they first loca ted that the price should be $2.60 an acre. They have cultivated tho land. tnd greatly improved them, and are now isking that congress shall grant them re lief from the extortion of the railroad.
