The Cleveland and Hendricks club is called to meet at the court house at half past seven this evening, the meeting Inn ing been postponed from Monday on ac count of tho school meeting. Amid the rush of daily business it is just possible that some Astoriaus failed to notice the general dampness in Febru ary. The records of tho signal service show that during tho 28 days of February 10.59 inches of rain fell in this city. At the annual school meeting in Dis trict No. 18, held last evening at tho Cedar street schoolhouse, J. "W. Welch was re-elected school director for the en suing three years, and C. W. Shively was re-elected school clerk for the ensuing year. It was the steamship Borrowmore, fro m Baltimore, that brought Captain Young and the crew of the Kirkwood to Liver pool. There was a rumor on the street yesterday that tho Kirlavood had been towed to Liverpool, but it could not be traced to any authentic .source. No"bullina china shopvever raised more commotion than did yesterday a passing pig who who shot into S. Danziger's clothing store in search of refuge from the persistent attentions of an inquisi tive dog. The dog and tho pig, and the pig and the dog, made it lively for the inmates and out mates of the store for a few minutes and furnished lots of fun for 121 men and bovs who took it in from the comer of the street. It is likely, says the Oreyoniun of the 2nd inst., that captain Bacherow. master of the British bark Banca, now in port, will have some trouble successfully to defend the suit brought against him in the state circuit court for $2,000 by John Brown, the sailor, who was confined in irons for twenty days tho entire voyage from Honolulu to this port. There is no question of the captain's legal right to put and keep the man in irons on tho high seas, and tho chances are equal that Brown mprited incarceration; but it was the duty of the master to report the ease to the British vico consul at Astoria immediately on his arrival here. Twenty-eight years ago to-morrow the last of the old line of Democratic presi dents was inaugurated; then there were 2G,000,000 people, now there arcrG,000,000. Then there were 31 states; now there are 113. Then there were 137 cities of over 8,000; now there are 291. Then we ex ported $300,000,000 annually: now we ex Irt $950,000,000.

Last Sunday morning the sun lit up the splendid scenery of the lower Colum bia. Cloud shadows streaked the surface of the stream, and toward noon the green water was lashed into a foam by a brisk bw-eze from the west. As the af ternoon wore on the cloud shadows deepened and the incoming tide dashed great waves on the beach the angry water, white with foam, rolling noisily eastward. The mists gathered and low ered, the wind blew in gusts, rain fwll heavily, till with a smile of light on Jnnd and sea the spirit of tho storm looked back from a departing cloud and left the suubiarns dancing on the rippling waves and lighting up the half furled sails of the ships that rode at anchor in tho stream. Suddenly the storm came roaring from tho west with redoubled force and the first -glimpse that Astorians got of tho new steamer TvWphonr was as she came flying round Tongue Point, the white collar of her tall smoke stack gleam ing through the circling wreaths of gray spray that wore blown before the blast. She came rushing on in the tteth of the wind, and at 31 made her first lauding at Astork and her twenty-first that day. The dock v.v.s ftlltd with people who, despite the storm, had come out .mainly to flee what kind of a craft Cant. Scott had built to take thf place of the Flret iroud. They poured in, a thousand more or less, to look at the new boat and from the engine room to thf- pilot house she was black with jn.ople live minutes after being made fast. Capl. Scott was very proud of his craft and he h:s good rea son, for though he had set his exuda tions high, he says she fully realizes what he had hoped tho new bunt would be. Viewed from the shore her narrowness is the most striking feature. She seems to be among steamboats, what the grey hound is among the dog tribe built for speed. She is long, narrow, jointed, fine lined, sloping and powerfully cngined. Her hull is remarkably stout and she rides on an even keel; her engines are two non-condensing: 22-iuch cylinder, eight foot streke: the boiler is 32 and carries 1 10 pounds of steam. The tonnage of the boat is 35G.27, net. She is allowed to carry 300 passengers, has three life boats, 31." life preservers, and a crew of fourteen. On the main deck the cabin extends the entire length; it is handsomely furnished with patent easy chairs, extension tables, etc. the ladies' cabin being sumptuously fitted up. The lloor is of oak and walnut alternated in narrow strip -j. There are seventeen state rooms. She is fit ted up with every device that comfort and safety demand, and has tho Gates patent steering apparatus that has proved such a signal succtas on oiher river steamers. She left Portland at 9:07, last Sunday morning, with 227 passengers on board, made twenty landings on her way down, consuming one hour and thirteen min utes in the twenty landings, or a little over three and a half minutes to a laud ing, making her running time five hours and thirty-one minutes from Portland to Astoria. It is thought that under more favorable conditions a still better record mav be made. The new boat is all that tho Fltvticood was in speed, and has the accomodations that that little boat lacked in the matter of meals, rooms, und grenter space in which to move around. She is on the route and is a good example of what mem ami sieauiasrness can uo. mat she will bo a success goes without saying, and the highest limit of success is no more than is due to her enterprising owners. She has been laid oil for one week and the Fleehvood will be down to-day. n Eui;latid .Supper. The ladies of Cushing Relief Corpa No. 3, will give a New Rnglaud supper at Lib erty Hall on "Wednesday evening. March 4th, from five to eight o'clock. It will le well managed, and will doubtless be well patronized. There will be music, vocal and instrumental, by some of the best local talent and the supper will be one of the best ever set in the city. Admission will be free: supper f0 cents. It is usual throughout the country upon the inaugu ration of a president to have some ob servance of the occasion, and the Relief (Jorp has very properly concluded that a good supper would be as good a way as any of celebrating the inauguration. Every ouo will be made welcome, and a general invitation is extended to the public. The proceeds of the supper are to be devoted to charity, the charity that is "twice blessed,' blessing those who give and those who take. Tho appeal of charity to Astorians is never made in vain, and the kind ladies who are devo ting so much effort to the entertainment should have a hearty response to their zealous endeavors. Fishing has commenced m the Sacra mento river but the catch is very light and will probably not repay the efforts of the fishers until the regular spring run, which sets in about the middle of March. Last year there wero from 1,200 to 1.330 boats" engaged in the fishing on the salmon streams, but the season was not generally profitable to the fishermen, and this year their number shows a decrease of from 200 to 300 boats. Cauners say they cannot afford to pay last year's prices for fish, as the profits on the canned product have decreased materially. It seems quite probable, however, that the strength of the run will have tho usual influence on the prices of fish, and that n good steady run early in tho season will result in the activity of tho most prosperous vear.

Hon the Action oT Coacrtiw I'avorim; Coin aseof the Dollar Is Yioue.l In the llat. New Youk, March 2. A TribHiic'x Washington s;ecial saya: The fight be tween the silvor men and the new ad ministration was quiok and decisive. Cleveland was knocked out in the first round. He retired from the field in pretty bad condition. The silver men are jubilant. They could not haw an ticipated ieh an ea.y iiclr. But n abort time ago they would har been satisfied to prevent their opponents fr.uu mustering the two-thirds majority neces sary for a suspension of the rule. Noth ing could have accouipli.-hed this result but tin- receipt by the leader of the silver initenient. of Cleveland's letter, in which hfM'ts f.irih his reasons why the e:iuge of silver should If suspended. Th- Iftter determined the riilver men to gather their forcs for ths energetic re sistance it arrued solidly against the incoming administration, "an-1 the lare and intbientia! wing of the Democratic party. To say the Democrats feel happy over tho result of this fray would be stretching tho truih. At the beginning of their term of pawer they find them selves at varitu e with the executive onn question which will cause them more trouble, if possible, than the tariff. The Tribitiii1 says editerially: The action of the Democratic house in prac tically refusing to give Cleveland tho power to suspend tho coinage of the sil ver dollar at hi.s pleasure, was undoubt edly due to two controlling reasons. On w.r. the fact that ths great majority of thf Democrats do not want to suspend thecoiuageof thesilverdellar: tho other, that- enough Bepublicaus could not be found who would vote with tho minority of the Democrats to put the thing en tirely in the hands of an untried presi dent. The Tunes s:iys: It is impossible to say how far BandaH's tactics in regard to tho suspension of silver coinage do or do not represent the views of tho president-elect, but most likely the latter has confined himself to the approval of sus pension and left it to the leaders of the parly in congress to decide in what man ner suspensioncould best be brought about Bandall would have made his proposition much more logical and practical, proba bly stronger if ho had directed tho sus pension of silver coinage. leaving discre tion, if any, to be exercised in the resumption of coinage. Tho votes show that the Democratic party, as represented in tho house, is decidedly, perhaps deci sively, oppoiod to tho suspension of silver coinage, while two-thirds of the Republicans favor its suspension. It amounts to this: On a question of prime importance the first that Cleveland had thought propsr to tako position, involv ing the policy of the parties for a con siderable period, the president-elect finds himself supported by two-thirds of his opponents in the house and opposed by two-thirds of his own party. But wo are much mistaken in Cleveland if it shall give him a moment's uneasiness. He has taken hi.s ground on this question de liberately and. is backed by the conserv ative element of his own party and by the more intelligent men of nil parties. His iolicy meets the immediate and per manent iuterirsts of the country. The Democratic World, Sun, Junrnnl oCoMiHimvaud llerntd are dumb on the subject. The L'ommeivial is not sure that the result of the vote on tho. suspension of silver coinage is unfortunate for Cleve land or for tho country. If Cleveland is resolute in hi.s determination to pursue tho right end, he will receive aid on this and similar questions from the Repub licans who hold the welfare of the country in supreme regard. They, with the sound men among the Demo crats, will constitute it working majority in both houses of congress. We need such a distribution upon n, question of principle, as this will be if it comes about. But why are the members of the present congress so resolute in opposition to the su.sieus:o!i of this iniquitous, highly dan gerous law? Is it possible the silver mine owners have fouud it to their advantage to distribute part of the plunder the law gives them among the law makers? Tho Post is more jubilant and exclaims: Though advenre to the cause of honest money, the vote is encouraging and full of promise. Its-chief significance lies in the fast the cimpaign has opened and the first gnu fired. The issue has been made, tho ground has been cleared. In the next house the Democrats will be weaker by thirty-seven members and the Republic ans stronger by that number. Sixteen votes will reverse the majorit3 I here is little doubt ths change has already been effected in the composition of tho new house. The vote shows that of the Re publican members present exactlv two ti one favored the suspension of coinage. ir this proportion bolus good as to the new members, there will be a net gain of twenty-four members to the. anli-.sihvr party, leaving a voteof 112tol2i in favor of honest money. We conceive it to be of the highest importance ::s earnest of victory in the next congress that Cleve land has put himself on record as au un flinching friend of the honest dollar. If the silver question aud tho civil 6ervico question together should divide the Democratic party, it would divide the Rcoablican party also.

Tho ship Astoria t coal laden for San Fran cisco, drifted onshore near Point llonillo, and between thnt place and San Juan harbor. Roth anchors and all the chain were let go, but all the windlass falls, wore broken, so they could not be got up again. Tho captain then left the ship with four men to procure a tug at Pysht. A heavy southwest wind then setting in, the first mate got a boat out to stand by the ship, and the second mate and three men were placed in the boat, but a heavy sua broke them adrift from the vessel, and they were unable to regain her. They were picked up in the straits this morn ing by the barkentine CriJJiths. When they "were driven off, the Astoria had struck several times a heavy rock at a depth of about twenty feet. "Captain An derson obtained the steamer Ilotijokr at Pysht and went to tho scene of the dis aster. The wind has bsen blowing heav ily from the southwest, and no hopes nrc entertained of saving the vessel. "She is probably a total loss. VrrToB'A. Feb. 23 The government steamer returned from the .straits this afternoon and reports havingKeenuo evi d-nos of :i wreck. It is therefore hoped that tin ship Astoria, previously re iwrfed ashore, got a fair wind and con tinued on her voyage. SsArrrr.. March 1. The ship Astoria, which whs reported r.ihore near Rouue ?ile point. wii towed to Port Augelos by the tug Ilolyol.v this morning. Contrary to rumors, she did not go ashore, al though she dragged very clo.-e in beforo the anchor held. Xo da'mage was done to the vessel, and tho only loss reported is thnt of an anchor chain, which tripped on a rock and held so firmly that it was necessary lo slip the cable aud leave tho anchor in several fathoms of water. "When in distress the captain sent a boat and crew to Pyscht to telegraph for a tug, which was demo, and in response ths HnliioJ.r went to the rescue of the ship. A letter from one of the passengers who left here on the steamer Coos Bay, for Yaquina, reports that they wero un able to get into Yaquina on account of shoal water (12 feot) on tho bar. The steamer was compelled to carry them up to Portland and will try to land them on tho way down. .ST. F. Daily Commercial Xcics, Feb. 2".
