Government operations on the channel of the Columbia at St. Helens have been suspended for tho present. Work on im provements at Coos bay and Yaquina bay has also stopped for lack of funds. M. J. Kinney, Tho Cutting Packing Co.. Radollet fc Co., the Occident Packing Co., Geo. W. Hume, and the Tillamook Pack ing Co., have canned salmon on exhibi tion at tho New Orleans exposition. President Smith of the Oregon Rail way and Navigation Co., denies that tho usual dividend will be passed because of a decreaso in the earnings. He says it will be paid, and that the earnings are at tho rate of more than G per cent. The wind came piping up strong from the south yesterday evening, and set the signs to swinging. It blew a gale at tho mouth of the river, but cooled down toward nightfall and sung a soothing symphony among the hillside firs. The "Walla "Walla papers report a gen eral religious awakening" up there. This is important as a probable source of news items should the awakening strike down this waj The charter controversy is about subsiding, and a religious "awakening' will.be good for about a col umn a day for a week. Five pistol shots in quick succession were heard at twenty minutes past elev en last night apparently on the corner of Cass and Jefferson streets. Those first at tho place saw a man running down Jefferson toward Olney, but though dili gent search was made nothing could be learned concerning tho mysterious affair. "Freight tariff No. 7," the new sched ule of rates adopted by the Transconti nental association went into effect last Sunday. It deals fairly with Astoria; through freight rates are made to Port land and Astoria -via tho Northern Pa cific and Oregon Short Line; to Taconia and Seattle via tho Northern Pacific only. There is a general reduction all round. Tho daily distribution of compli mentaries at Salem yesterday resulted as follews: "Whileakcr, 3S; Hirsch, 17; Kelsev, 7; George, 7; Hare, 0; "Williams, '2; Fulton, 1; Johnson, o; Hill, 4; Failing, 3; absent, 1; blank, 1. Kelly is next in line for the complimentary Democratic vote; then Grovor, then Jnb, Myers, and so on. The Republicans are reported to be "harmonizing." Nelson Bennet is authority for the statement hat the Northern Pacific would be completed to Ellensburg by April first aud that connection would be made with Tacoma in October. Tho temporary road over tho Cascades would be in the form of a Z, or similar to that used during the construction of the Boze man tunnel. The "Z" does not increase the tariff rates per mile but tho number of miles is increased by it. It is now claimed that coal oil in cases will cause the compass of a vessel to devi ate from its true course. Tho captains of the J. Weisselholm and tho Maggie Dolling are out in cards claiming that their vessels went ashore on account of having canned coal oil aboard. This is "important if true,' and is a grand thing for a theory. All that a man who has left his vessel where she will do the least good has to prove is that ho had some cans of coal oil aboard. The hypothesis opens up an interesting field of inquiry. The Oregon Encampment of tho Grand Army of the Republic finished its ses sion in Portland last Thursday evening. F. H. Lamb was elected department com mander; J. C. Cooper, senior vice com mander; H. M. Gregory, junior vice com mander; Z. "W. Christopher, assistant ad jutant general. The Oregon Auxiliary Woman's Relief Corps also had a con vention, at which the following officers were elected: Mrs. I. M. Babcock, presi dent; Mrs. Rosa Martin, senior vice com cem mander: Mrs. Hattie Cooper, junior vice commander; Mrs. A. E. Dinsmorc, secre tary; Miss Emma Urawioru, treasurer; Mrs. Laura Thomes was elected delegate to the national cmcampment and Mrs. C. Ross department inspector. From the above it will be seen that Astoria is well represented. The returning delegation report a mo3t enjoyable time, both at the convention and the subsequent camp fire. TIic Telephone. Jeffs new saloon, the "Telephone" opens up this evening. It is new all through; the building is new, the fur niture and fittings are new and of ele gant finish and the proprietor has put in some new ideas that will commend themselves to the patrons of the Tele phone. Everything about the place is first class, the wines and liquors of the best, and Jeff will excrthiinself to make it pleasant for anyone who calls, lie has put up and finely furnished n first class establishment and no cosier place can be found in the city m which to meet a friend or join in a social glass.

THE CITY CHARTEK AGAIN. Further Argument Coucernlnq Property (Jual. ificatioai. Astouia, January SO, lSSi. En. Astebian: In answer to "Not Always a Taxpayer" "Cumtux" craves a few more lines in your valuable paper. He still insists that for the purposes of this discussion there is an analogy be tween a school district and a municipal corporation. "We despair of being able to convince him by our arguments of the unsound ness of his position and would most re spectfully cite him to 1st Dillon on muni cipal corporations, where, if he is pos sessed of ordinary intelligence, he will discover that his opinions on that sub ject are in direct conflict with the opin ions of one of tho first writers of the age on corporations. In opposition to his position regaiding the right of the legislature to restrict the right of suffrage we again have recourse to high authority, to wit: 73 North Caro lina, page 193, and cases there cited. In this case the general assembly of North Carolina in an act amending the charter of "Wilmington nrovided a ninety days' residence as a qualification for voting for city olhcers. The syllabus is as follews: "The constitution of North Carolina pro vides that "every male person, 21 years old, residing in the state twelve months and in the county thirty days shall be an elector." Held, that a statutory brovision requiring a ninety days residence as a qualification for voting for city officers was unconstitutional; Held, also that un der a constitutional authority to provide for registration the legislature could not create a registry law practically dis franchising electors." Reade, J., said: "Our government is founded on the will of the people. Their will is expressed by tho ballot. The bal lot embraces every citizen 21 years old, who has a residence in tho state for twelve months ajid iu the county where he offers to vote for thirty days. There is no other qualification required. Prop erty qualifications for voters and office holders, which our former constitutions required, and which many thought im portant, have passed away, and arc now regarded as antiquated.' "Alio constitution provides that every male person shall be an elector. An elector for what? Tho con stitution does not Raj for what. Does it mean an elector for president, or for gov ernors, or for judges, or for county offi cers, or for town officers, or for what else? There it stands b.y itself, without ex planation that every such person shall be an elector a voter. It evidently means to designate these persons as a class, to voto generally wheuevor the polls are open and elections held for any thing connected with tho general govern ment, or tho state or local gorcnimcnts" . 'Here counties, cities and towns are grouped together; and so are their quali- ued voters, and except m this way there are no qualifications prescribed for voters in cities and towns. But cities and towns, like counties and townships are parts and parcels of the state, organ ized for tho convenience of local self government, and the Qualifications of their voters are the same. 'It follows that the general assembly cannot, in any icay, change the qualifica tions of voters in state, county, city or town elections." With the exception of time, our consti tution is similar to that of North Car olina. If "Not always a Taxpayer" is still unable to seo the fallacy of his position he has our sinccrest sympathy and if he will take tho trouble to call on us we will take pleasure in giving him other author ities on the same point, but, remember ing the old saying about certain people being convinced against their will, etc., we will not commit the folly of undertak ing to satisfy his mind. Fearing that your patience is well nigh exhausted, after first inviting "Not al ways a Taxpayer " to show any author ityfor his position, and thanking The Astobian for this courtesy, wo refrain from further comment. CUMTUX. PATIENT AND LONG SCFFEUINO. Have you seen him? He has nothing to do and needs assistance in tho effort. He is conceited in tho forenoon, stupid in the afternoon, and, happily invisible after 9 p. m, Ho is full of facts relative to the state of his liver aud bowels, and replete with reminiscences concerning his ailments, tho bad nights he has, and the medicine he has taken. Ho has read i book sometime and feels lonesome. He has one idea which fills his brain to the exclusion of all else; he thinks people don't appreciate him. AH ho needs is a chance, just an opportunity to dazzle us all. He is full of secret information, and is m Ysterious about it, with shrugs and nods and winks. He is fond of argument and likes a drowsj humdrum interchange of alleged talk. He always understands yon to say just exactly what you didn't say and takes that as his lino of answer. He is as insensible to a joke as an oyster to the perfume of a violet, and his stony surfaco dulls the keenness of sarcasm. Ho is an insufferable egotist; he is a bore; from all his tribe good Lord deliver us. Amen. One of the finest billiard-tables on the coast at Jeff's "Telphone.' Gray sells Sackett Bros.'

FINDINGS OF THE COURT. A naval court of inquiry into the cause of the loss of tho Dctca Gungadhur, on the 18th inst., at Shoalwater bay, was hold in this city last Thursday and yester day. The court finished its arduous la bors yestorday. "The court finds that on Saturday the 17th inst., at 1 r. at., the position of tho vessel was about GO miles NW of Cape Hanceck: that the course SE by E given by the master was a correct one; that the vessel was steered on that coarse; that the master used every proper pre caution that his position requir?d: that on the light at Toke Pt. being seen the vessel was headed off the land: that soundings were taken, and when the wind came ahead and fell the ship was brought to an anchor; that taking advan tage of the first good stand of wind sail was put on the sliiD and the anchor and chain slipped, but owing to the wind failing and the foulness of the bottom she lost headway and drifted toward the breakers." "In tho judgment of the court the master was right in endeavoring to make the inside of Shoalwater bay. though un known to him." "The court attributes the orror in the shin's position to the strong northerly and shoreward set to the current not marked in the generul chart and the foulness of the shin's bottom retarding her speed and putting her more to the east and north'ard of her supposed posi tion; that when the vessel camo into the influence of the suck caused by tho in draught of Shoalwater bay and the heavy swell at that time it was, in the opinion of the court, impossible to save tho ship by any other course but to get into tho shelter of Shoalwater bay." "The court also finds from the evidence that on tho striking of the vessel on the sands that tho crew were too excited to look to their officers for orders; that this laxity of discipline is somewhat due to the master's fault. The court finds that tho master might, if discipline had been better maintained, have found time to get his ship's papers, nothing having been brought ashore. The court in closing, therefore calls tho master's attention to this fault. It otherwise ex onerates tho master and officers from blame in tho loss of tho Detca Gimgad Iwr. there being no certificates to hand back." THEATRICAL. Tiio Grismcr-Davies company will ap pear at Occidental hall, for two nights only, Monday aud Tuesday, February 2 and 3, in two of the New York successes, "Monte Cristo" and "Michael Slrogoff." The Virginia City Tribune, of November 1G, speaks of the company aud "Monte Cristo" us follews: "The size of the audience which wel comed tho appearance of the Grismer Davies combination in 'Monte Cristo' last night must have been a very gratify ing sight to Manager Piper. The house w;is packed from door to stage borders. The play was well put upon the stage and gave thorough satisfaction. The com pany is a strong ono m every department and the members being in perfect accord with each other and the play, cannot but render their performances both charm ing and thorough. Joe Grismer, as Ed mond Dantes, Conut of Monte Cristo, did a fine piece of acting. He is remark ably effective. His manner is singularly easy and graceful, his reading pure and intelligent, and his expression full of fine feeling and truthfulness. He gave a thoroughly balanced performance and in vested the character with artistic power. Mr. Stockwell is a comedian of rare ability; ono who, understands the now al most obsolete tact of sacrificing his own indent ity in the character he portrays, and who fully appreciates the quiet natural ness of perfect acting. Miss Phoebe Davies as Albers do Morcerf, looked very sweet iu her soldier costume, and made all she could of a part not specially prom inent in the plaj. The rest of tho cast was well filled aud with gratifying suc cess. The play throughout was warmly received by llTe audience, a fact due in no small part to tho general exceilenccof the acting of tho companj." Reserved seats at the usual place, the New York Novelty store. EXIGENCY. NOT CHARACTER. "There is character in every step a person takes," said a man who thought he knew it all, so far as the science of gait was concerned. "When I saw you pass our house the othur day, Miss Clara, I was impressed by tho easy, independ ent freedom of your walkl Such firm yet geatlo strides betrayed tho dominant unconventionality of your character." He was a Doctor "of Divinitv, and I didn't care to sass him, but I felt bound in Christian honesty to ask him: "Was I wearing my brown and black plush suit?'' He believed so. "Then I was making a special effort to fake long, swinging steps," I said, "because that is the only way I can make the confounded drapery swish right. That meant exigency, not character. See me in my new dark-blue street cos tume, with its narrow skirt and internal strappings, and you'll say I'm a mincer from Minceville." Ciiin. Enquirer. Biiclilcn's Arnica Salrc.

"Postal card correspondents make a good many mistakes. If they knewwhat a pilo of cards are thrown away, and why they are thrown away, they would be more careful,' said the postoffice clork, as ho pitched a handful of postal cards into the waste basket. "What is the matter with them:" "Every one had something pasted on the correspondence side. It is allowable to paste on the mailing side the address of tho parson to whom the card is sent, but anything pasted on the message side renders the card unmailable. On the mailing sido there must bo nothing iu the form of an advertisement." "If pictures are drawn on the message side will the card be sent?' "Yes,unles3 the picture is of a character which would send the artist to Sing Sing. However, there is a good deal of com plaint about dunning and abusive mes sages, it is popuiany ueucveu iiiai it is a violation of tho law to send scurrilous epistles in this way, but it is not. The belief is founded on Judge Benedict's de cision, where a fivej thousand dol lars fine was imposed saveral years ago. The law i3 not now in force, and a man can abase another to his heart's content." "Can a postal card be returned?' "Correspondents often try to do that, but it is against the rules of the office. To make sure, they often stick on a one cent stamp. If n two-cent stamp is put on it will pass inspection. By putting on a one-cent stamp, however, a postal card may be remailed to the person to whom it is addressed, if it does not find him in tho first instance. One thing about postal cards ought to bo known to poor people who have friends abroad. Wo havo stacks of international postal cards unused that may bo sent to almost any citv in Great Britain or in the conti nent. Even in the fow instances where they are used, they aro apt to be sent to tho country which issues them. This i3 not allowed. Thev can onlv be sont out of the country which issues them.' AStorjrofSchwatLs. Shortly after his return from King William's Laud the lieutenant went to a photographic gallery to have his picture taken. "Now," said the photographer, while his customer was arranging an arc tic costume over his ordinary New York dress, "you must take somo striking atti tude just look as if you saw a polar boar." Lieutenant Schwatka suddenly began to tremblo from head to foot, his knees knocked to-gether and his fnce as sumed a look of intense terror. "Hurry up,' he excluimed to the photographer, who was looking on in helpless bewilder ment, "I can't keep this up forever." "But what is the matter? What has happened to you? I can't make a nega- ti yo wuiio you are going on in mat way. "Oh," said Schwatka. "I thought vou wanted me to look as if I saw a polar bear.-7 la It Itot True?
