Sevanteen capitalists from the east were at the Occident last night. It is re portedthat they go over to Gray's Harbor with Samuel Benn to buy his property at Aberdeen. Between the boats and the shore at Adair's cannery at low tide yesterday a Chinaman captured a 32-ponnd salmon that had stranded there. This beats seine or net fishing. The wife of Mr. It. L.

Tho Oregon Improvement Company arcgoing to change the Walla Walla and Willamette so that they can carry passengers from San Francisco to Vic toria. The San Pedro is to be placed on the China route. Tho Toledo Blade in answer to an in quiry says that the twentieth century will becin January 1st, 1900. It doesn't make any difference just now whether it begins then or not, but tho Blade man is a year too soon. The twentieth century begins January 1st, 1901. Telegrams from Portland appear in the San Francisco papers to the effect that an eighty-pound Columbia river salmon having been sent to President Cleveland a ninety-pound one had been B3nt to Queen Victoria. All that is wanted ta make the thing complete is for the same gifted romancer to add to his next dispatch that a hundred-pounder had been sent to the czar of Russia. A gas engine, rated st 2 horse power, running in The Astohiax office for the last year, has cost 5 cents per hour, in cluding all items of expense of opera tion. These are: For interest, Gper cent on first cost, credited to ten hours of aotual running per day, 0.90 cent per hour; for repairs and deprecia tion, 6 per cent, on first cost, similarly credited, 0.90 cent per hour; for oil, 0.10 ceat per hour, and for gas 3 cents per hour, its first cost being less than $700. Thero is no cost for attendance. Addi tional advantages are tho cleanliness of the machine, the ease with which it is started, and the absence of risk from fire. And now tho fun begins in earnest. The O. K. & N. Co. will run the Wide West as a fast boat between here and Portland. She makes her first trip next Monday. She will come down overy Monday, "Wednesday and Saturday, re turning on the days the leiepnone makes the down trip. It will be interesting to see which will make the faster time. It ib now some years since the Wide West made tho famous five hours and five minutes run from Portland to Astoria. The Tirer was about sixteen feet higher than it is now, which to a sternwheeler makes a considerable difference, especially when she starts in to "throw herself,' as the Wide West and Telephone are liable to do occasion- 'rally. There is no place on the Pacific coast, and there are few places of similar size on the Atlantic coast, that have such admirable ocean and river service as As toria. The ocean steamers come and go with tho regularity of ferry boats and fast flyers make the distance between here and inland points with all the swift ness of ordinary railroad trains. The Tillie E. StarbucJ:, previously re- totted, arrived in yesterday afternoon, oaded with O. & C. railroad iron. In or der to pay for this iron, and to provide for other running expenses, Judge Deady issued an order a short time since author izing Receiver Koehler to borrow $10G,000. At the same time this loan was made a prior lien to tho liens held by tho first and second mortgage bondholders. Tho Oregon and Transcontinental company protest against the loan, and allege that the authorization to borrow tho $106,000 was granted without giving them the hearing they were entitled to. -They also object to its priority. So far as the ship load of iron was concerned, the attorneys of tho Oregon and the Transcontinental say it can be sold and if there is any loss the Oregon and California company could make it up. From county school statistics for the year ending April 1st, 1885, it is learned mat mere are a scnooi uimncis m me county and 1,702 children of school age; the number of pupils enrolled in the pub lic schools during tho past year was 944, leaving 758 who do not attend. There are 32 teachers employed in the county, 26 holding first grade certificates and 6 second grade. During tho year, in the county, tho averago school term has been 5X months. There are 20 schjolhouses, of which number 3 have been built dur ing the past year; the schoolhouse prop erty is estimated to bo worth $37,G00. Tho average monthly salary paid male teachers is $53.70; female teachers, $49.10. The total amount of school funds re ceived during the year by the school dis tricts of the county aggregated $21,206.48; the total amount paid out was $19,540.62, leaving a balance in the hands of dis trict clerks of $1,055.86. For the Bbove acknowledgement is due to Mr. J. E. Hig gins, the county superintendent. SPABKS FKOM THE WICKS. Gen. Grant was still alive last night. The United States senate adjourned on the 2nd. Marauding Indians excite fear in southwestern Texas. There is great suffering in the burned city of Aspinwall. Relief is invoked.

Knott has ordered out a detail of 200 militia to go there if necessary. Russia has accepted England's propo sition concerning the outposts of the Russo-Afghan frontier. ThiB disposes of all present war probabilities m that quarter. The French gained a victory over the Chinese at Pheng Hoo last Monday. It is positively stated that the peace pro posals made to China by France have been accepted. The secretary of war has determined to protect tho the interests of the United States at tho isthmus of Panama and has ordered two detachments of marines there. Two hundred left New York yes terday and COO more will leavo next Mon day. A FIXE BUILDING. A small army of men are busy with saw and hammer completing the interior of the new Occidental hall. The building is almost entirely new throughout, and will be one of the largest theaters in the northwest. It is 50 feet front, by 145 feet in depth and 36 feet high. The main en trance will be on Squemoqua street by a fight of steps, and on each side the foyer will bo winding stairs to the gallery. Tho body of the theater will be furnished with new and improved chairs. A noticeable feature is the building of eight proscenium boxes, to which, as well as the main hall, there will be a side entrance. There will be a third means of exit and entrance by the stage door. The stage is receiving considerable attention, thero beinga good deal of new scenery and a newdrop cur tain now on the way. Tho building will cost when, completed in the neighborhood of $8,000; it is expected to havo a seating capacity of 1,500. There is a new floor which by an in genious arrangement is so laid that when that portion of it is nsed as a skating rink the skaters will have the grain of the wood to roll on. The proprietors aro de serving of considerable credit for their enterprise in putting up this structure. It is something that was needed and will be fully up to the wants of the place for some time.

The Man "Without Any Theory "Who Broke the Backbone of the Rebellion. When men like Grant dio. mere flum mery of words and sentiments is not enough. All Americans are liable to have a brief career of either fortnno or glory. Grant became the favorite of extraordinary opportunities, and his ill success in earlier life seemed to give him the proper degree of modesty, persever ance and conpositeness, or' average, to extract the best results frpm whatever he saw around him. Had he been s?nt into the army from the eastern states it is hardly probable that he would have passed beyond the average generals of much better family condition and world ly acumen who wero broken up by their untoward relations. In the cast the geniu3 of the southern confederacy was assembled, because nothing had ever happened in this country of a historical nature in tho Mississippi valley. The southern states had no great cities in that region; tho north had no place greater than Cincinnati, and there but little of a historical kind had ever occur red. When the war broke out the mili tary men all began to study the campaigns of Napoleon, Wellington, Marlborough, and others, under the supposition that military formations and movements wero to be located in the dis tant past. Tho first general of import ance produced by the rebellion, was Beauregard, and ho was so much of a Frenchman that his success at Fort Sumpter and at Bull Run, still further kindled the aspirations of military men in the east toward the grqat doings of Napoleon, Turenne and others. Beau regard himself in a little while went to the wall. It was ho who formed the army in the west, which, at Shilob, en countered the stubborn resistance of tho I young fellows from tho western states. But Scott, McDowell, McCIellan. Hooker. Meado and many others, kept looking for Napoleon in the enemy's face and in their own opportunities. Grant, it would appear, never had much theory of battle. His article in tho Century, describing the battle of Shilob. or Pittsburg laud ing, seems to evince the fact that he planned nothing in regard to that battle. Ho merely landed his army nnd saw that it was protected on the flanks by some creeks or swamp3, and, while he was get ting ready for an aggresive movement, the enemy came up and struck him with as littlo order or formation as himself. They simply felt for each other in the woods. The confederates' made un at- tack according to their Inch temperment. The federals reeled before the attack, but with tho stubbornness of tho western agricultural population they formed again, and being reinforced held the field. The western generals wero not made the fools of tho eastern papers. When tho battlo of Bull Run was about to take flace, the New York Tribune presumed to oad the array and had a big guide board at the top of the editorial columns for weeks and months, saying: "On to Rich mond." In that wav the federal army was hurled against Beauregard's woods and earthen ramparts, and Washington nearly was lost. WUBN St'CLELLAN CAMS OH, The New York Herald presumed to lead tho armies and immediately called him the young Napoleon, with the thick and dense ignorance always to be expected in that journal on any great occasion. Sen sation being their only purpose in lifo thoy welcomed. tho adventof the confed eracy as foreign news, and welcomed a young engineer at the head of the army of the Potomac as the yOung Napoleon before ho hud done anything more than to make his way along the Baltimore and Ohio railroad from Ohio to the Allegheny mountains. The newspapers, and the Herald especially, ruined McCIellan, and he is now tbe remnant of that ruin. After McCIellan came to his conclusion" the eastern newspapers did little besides keeping up the quarrel about his relative moans and merits. There was a McCIel lan war nearly to the last. Evon after Grant had come east and fought his way across the country to the James and in vested Petersburg, and finally took that place and captured Lee's nrnij', a great deal of paper was wasted and ink spilled to show that he ought to havo moved up the James river like McCIellan, and not have lost so many lives going across the country. McCIellan, therefore, was first spoiled by tho newspapers, and then he spoiled tho newspapers themselves. The war in the east was a good deal of a farce. Grant had tho great good fortune to enter the war in Illinois, and to be given a command which pierced farthest into tbe confederal lines by natural geogra phy. Ho found beforo him tbe two principal water courses next to the Atlan tic ocean, whioh led to the heart of the confederacy, namely, tho Mississippi river and the Tennessee river. The Ten nessee river turned out to bo the least Guarded stream from tho Bide of thei rebellion, and Grant's initial campaign, by the aid of the western gunboats, toro away the feeble dofenses of the Cumber land and Tennessee rivers, thereby ob ligating the defenses of the Mississippi river and the line of battle chosen in Kentucky by .Albert Sidney Johnston to be given up. Grant made his successes in the field unhampered by eastern med dling. His triumph at Fort Donelson was so entirely unexpected and so large in scalo compared to any results in tbe east, that it singled him out for a certain moral support from the whole people. It was deemed necessary, however, put to over him General Halleck, a man whose brain was full of strategy and who had all tho spirit of an eastern editor criti cizing his successful generals, not merely by newspaper editorials, but by peremp tory rebukes and orders. He sat down upon Grant for a long time, and the day had to come wnen- urant was urougns east nnd Halleck sent into limbo. Grant discovered nothing new; ho simply reasoned from the obstructions of nature, the course of rivers and tho nature of his men and of tbe enemy, what was feasible to be done. He had a great deal of troublo with the battle of Pittsburg land ing, because by that time everything in tho east had been whipped and the whole arm v of critics and editors wero turned into the western country, and having nothing else to talk about, they spent the entire remainder of the war in. discuss ing the question whether Grant had been surprised at Pittsburg landing or not. If he was surprised there he lost not much time in recovering status and achieving a surprise himself. HE PROCEEDED AOllKST TICKSBUEQ "Where General Sherman had made one failure and investing that city and find ing a base where all the critics said there should bo none, he finally carried the town about the time that the confeder ate armyin the east had foghtr its way into tbe middle of Pennsylvania, and threatened at once Philadelphia, Balti more and Washington. It was a great victory in tho cast to have kept Gen eral Lee from winning a victory ovor the whole eastern region. But Grant sent in the. hows of the capture of Vicksburg and tho opening of tho Mis sissippi river everywhere but in tho vicini ty of Port Hudson, whore an eastern general, Banks, from tho highly critical state of Massachusetts, commanded. Port Hudson went down at iast, but un der such circumstances that but littlo glory attended the investment. Grant, after being relieved at Vicks burg, was put in control by Stenton, the western secretary of war, of tho Chatta nooga campaign, and ho went to the spot, accepted the plans of battle already made, and Chattanooga was successfully defended and his moral power enhanced. In the meantime the various campaigns by Rosccrans, BuelJ, and others in the west had come to an end, partly from be ing pushed on difficult lines and partly from the intrusion of Napoleonic ideas and editorial views into them. So Grant was able to.leave Sherman, McPhtrson, and other strong men in the west, native to tbat region, and indifferent to the various devices of Napoleon, Cajsar, Han nibal, etc. These men in the course of timo went clear through the confederacy, while Grant, brought to the east, had to use a good deal of tho old material found there, but he had some bright-minded men like Sheridan with him, and at last the two armies which hehad commanded that of the west, and that of the east, met in the center of the enemy's country and each grappled with n big army and closed it out. What history thought of the rela tive generalship of the east and west is made clear by tho settlements of rank. Grant became the general of the army, Sherman became the lieutenant general; Sheridan succeeded Sherman, and now is in- command of the regular army. Grant had it in his power to settle at tbe head of the army and draw his salary for life, and thank God for having given him a chance. Yet all notable warriors, must serve, it would appear, A FOLITICAI. CJLBESB. Tho American government took no further steps to secure General Grant than to put Lira at the head of the army with a higher rank than any of his pre decessors. Both the political parties im mediately began to play for Grant's pop ularity, to use in politics. He followed in the line of Lincoln, taking exception to President Johnson's attempts to use him, and ho becamo tho president of tho United States. He immediately encountered tho gigantic editorial force of the country, which had labored in vain to manage tho war on their own noble theories. Combinations of newspapers were formed to antagonize Grant, and so he was driven from the nat ural standpoint he should have occu pied, and a littlo bevy of grasping sena tors got hold of his patrenage: nndj al though ho was re-elected president, this set of senatorial scamps destroyed all of his natural influence at last, except the popular superstition that he always meant to be honest, nnd that he had somo homely virtues more to be prized than either wisdom or policy. When be passed out of office, at the time of tho disputed election of Hayes and Til den, there existed throughout tbe country a very general confidence in his patriotic courage and stability. The man by his moral quality had overcome all his enemies. Ho passed away from the presidency even a greater victor than when he had received tho surrender of Leo. That was the time, unquestionably, forGeneral Grant to have taken the bear ings of himself, and made for himself a settlement in life which neither tempter nor enemy couldshake. He did indulge in some conceptions of a modest retirement for life. He thought he would get some land in Maryland, not far from tho city, of Washington, and thero occupy Himself in breeding and farming pursuits, with occasional relief among his friends in publio life. But, unfortunately, a set of sharperaand spec ulators around the city of New York hit upon a scheme to bring him to their vor tex. They had given him a home at Long Branch, and the argument was made that he ought not to hnve a country house when bo had already a summer resort; so finally tho New York and eastern in fluence made a conquest of the man they had hammered at in vain in his military career. He came to Long Branch, and every schemer who hoped tosell bonds or get somo further credit out of Grant came around him. In a little whil6 he was silting around the money offices in Wall street. The men who had pursued him during all his presidency with jibe and conspiracy wero whispering in bis ear. He had sons unacquainted with his glorious past except by hearsay, and married to women of the ago succeeding thu war, and these all wanted money as the substitute for everything. Ib a little while his name appeared in a private banking firm. That firm was originally made up of Grant's son. Ulysso3 S., Jr., and Ferdinand Ward. They brought in to their house, as mutual victims, James D. Fish and General Grant. Thoy fooled the old hero, who never was fa financier, wrecked his fortune, embittered his life, and now he lies dying in tbe city that was to him tho bane of his life. Con gress in its last hours smoothed his dying bed by a tardy recognition of his great services, and so the man who for twenty years was me ioremosi ngure in Ameri can history passes away in h3 sixty third year amid tho rogrctfuf sympathy of the nation.
