Invitations will be out in a few days for an entertainment at the Astoria gym nasium by the boy's class and n social hop after tho exercises, on Friday even ing, August 23th. It is stated that the Northern Pacific railroad is preparing to ship 40,003 to fi0,000 tons of grain, at 8 per ton, over its line from eastern Oregon to Duluth, its eastern terminus. The steamer Sam will leavo Wilson & Fisher's dock for Skippnon at half-past seven this morning, weather per mitting, and will return at r p. m., giving a good opportunity to visit tho beach. The fog and smoke has little effect on the river and ocean service from hero to all points reached by steamer. The State came in yesterday, the Columbia crossed out, and the river steamers came and went with no delay or irregularity. Tho Pac'jic Jovrnal announces that steps have boon taken to secure tho right of way for the construction of a telephone line from OysterviJle to Ilwaco with sta tions at various points along tho beach, with every probability of success. Two mining experts from tho Ccear d'Alene mines, former residents of Asto ria, were in yesterday on their way to California. They say their experience leads them to believe that wo have more wealth in the river and s:a at our doors than is in all the Coeur d'Alene mines. We learn that the damp, cold weather experienced during tho past few days will have tho effect of breaking np many a camp on the North beach, and that tho Lurline to-morrow evening, and Jtccd and Telephone to-morrow morning, will each carry away a large number of pass engers homeward bound to the interior. To-morrow eveaing tho celebrated "Wallack Theater company present "Victor Durand" for tho lirst time to an Astoria audience. It has received con siderable praise, and will bo presented here with the same care and complete ness that made it so great a success in New York city. Oa Tuesday "Lady Clare" will be presented. Reserved seats at Carl Adler's crystal palace. Rev. D. O. Ghormloy of East Portland was exnected. to occupy tho pulpit of tho Presbyterian church this morning, but has written to say that he cannot bo present. Rev. Dr. Garner will conduct services as usual in the morning, but out of respeot to the venerable Dr. Roberts, retiring pastor of the Methodist Episco pal church, there will be no service in the evening. The Columbia left out at 5 o'clock yester day evening, with freight from Astoria as follews: Salmon, 3,035 cases, as fol fel fol eows: Cutting Packing Co., 2G2; Thistle Packing Co., 173; Aberdeen Packing Co., 333; Geo. W. Hume, 93j; American Flag Packing Co., 443; North Shore Packing Co., 380; Knappton Packing Co., 32: J. O. Hanthorn & Co., 475. She also took 2U2 tons of wheat, 203 sacks of oysters, and 100 tons miscellaneous freight. Tho Yamhill Reporter comes to hand with a sort of post mortem examination of the justice of forfeiting tho Astoria land grant. It wisely asks, "What if tho Grant fall into less dessrving hands?" Tho erant has fallen from tho hands of those who refused to do anything and defied agitation into tho hands of the people, and it ill becomes the Yamhill Reporter or any other journal that does not want to wear tho corporation collar, to impugn tho motives of congress when that national body, recognizing the pro longed injustice of the railroad's posi tion, declared the tract to bo onco more a part of the public domain. Judge Deady's recent decision that pre-emption entries can only be canceled by proceedings in the courts, conflicts with the general practice of the D. S. land office. It has been tho custom of tha land office to cancel pre-emption en tries upon sufficient proof of non-com pliance with tho law or want of good faith on tho part of tho pro-emptor. Acting Commissioner Walker has offi cially informed his informant that the practice and views of law followed and entertained in the general land office will not be changed until the supremo court of the United States shall have had an opportunity of passing upon tho points raised by Judge Deady.

The Jong continue -iijjiug of the firo bell shortly after four a'clock yesterday morning aroused every sleeper within hearing and forbade tho hops that possi bly it might prove, as on many other oc casions a false alarm. A firbt glanee from our window toward the river re vealed a deusa cloai of smoke slowly rising through tue damp, fojy aiuos phere i'i tha immediate aei'borliooJ of the Parker Kov&e. With r. pamrul fore-bod-T'" that teis imposing structure was on fire, j J:d faintly endeavoring to imag ine wiiat the end would be if such were the casi?, we hastened to reach the spot and ascertain the true state of affairs. In a very hhort space of time both lire companies had stationed their engines at Hurler's dock, and tho active firemen with their usual alacrity, had two streams playing on Max Wagner's beer saloon, inside of which the fire first started. Host providentially their ef forts were speedily crowned with success, the fire being confined to the rear building in which it first broke out, and which was used for storing coal oil and liquors. Tho acutual loss sustained to either building or contents is comparatively trilling, as fourteen or fifteen Landred dollars will probably cover both. r!or.f v. v !-rV.r .f thn Clam Pn.'. E. 1.

Major Jones reports that tho proper way of overcoming obstacles at tho cas cades, on the Columbia river, is by a canal and a svstom of locks extending ... . , -ill- I over a space of thu teen miles and costing about 11,UDD,U0U. Jiat as it would require a very long period of time to excavate tho ! cauai wuicn mueea irom a staiemeus oi tho obstacles, appears to be a work only second in magnitude to the PanAma ca nalhe proposes in tho meantime a pqit ago over railway tracks, to cost something like a million and a quarter. Those who havo read Stauley'u accounts of his pass age of the cataracts on the Congo will un derstand how the thing can ba done. No one but a competent engineer is qualified io form a judgment on Major Jones? projects. Bat it is clear that tho navigation ot mat nouio stream ougut to be improved at tho national cost, even if it did cost as much as $11,000,000. The Columbia is destined to prove as important to the Pacific coast as the Hudson river is to the cast and the Mis sissipppi to the south. Whatever engin eering can do to mako it navigable throughout the length ought to bo done. It is not creditable to American enter prise that tho blockade above Tho Dalles should bo permitted to exist, and we trust that congre35 will loso no time, when it assembles, in appropriating mon ey to romovo tho obstructions. S. F. Chronicle. Silver Salmon. Silver salmon are now plentiful in the market', and Indians peddle them about town at ten cents each. A fisherman stated to the writer yesterday that in case of rain salmon could ba taken in large numbers. Ho said tho salmon aro now in the Sound but will stay in the deep water until a rain comes and wnshe.3 a sediment from the fresh water streams down into the Sound. The salmon, being anxious to ascend tho rivers will follow this sediment np to the month of the rivers, and when onco in shallow water they aro easily caught. Scaltle Posl-In-Mli'jcnccr.

This is from tho Orcgonian about the "Wallack company on their presentation of "Victor Durand," last Wednesday night in Pertland: For the first timo before a Porilanu audienco the latest New York success, "Victor Durand" was presented last night by tho Wallack company, and to &ay that it was given in a most creditable manner and to a thoroughly pleased and appre ciative honso is but simple truth. It is l'nll of stiong situations and there is rnn ning through it n vein of humor which affords a most agreeable foil to the lead ing dramatic thread. Strongly conceived and with an interesting story well de veloped it cannot fail to please when given by a company of such general ex cellence as the Wallack company. The enfiie cast without exception enacted their respective roles with such caro as to detail and business as is not often seen. Mr. C. L. Welles as tho hero, Victor Du rand, increased the favorable impression he had aheady created in "Lady Clare." There is au earnestness and honest sin cerity about his acting, a clean-cut cha ne'ef and evident sinking of his identity in the personality of the part ho is por- MKryinR that indicates the truo artist. aged with artistic skill, particularly that with Do Mersac in the third act, and with the detective at tho end of the sec- onu. ins ioiiuness ior uis cenuo wiie and in addition to dressing tho part in exouisi'e taste, appealed to the sympathy of the anuieiiceby the lidelity with which she clinis to her husband in his dark hour, 'j he John Vaughn of Mr. Charles Wheatleigh was a dignified and natural portrayal of the affectionate father and ioan of honor, and Mr. J.

A dispatch sent to day from Meshed, Persia, near tho Af ghan frontier, to tho Tii.irs states that a collision between tho liussian and Af ghan outposts nearly occured on the 13th instant at Karatepe, eighteen miles from Chamain-i-I3nid. Some llnssian troops j so tho dispatches state, approached Khr- iltCli.', 1UU HUCU IUU UKUiVLr) CKi IUU troops thero they took up arms. A Rus sian officer, when he saw this, ordered his troap3 to unsling their carbines. He was shot and severely wouuded by the acci dental discharge of one of these weapons. Before the exact nature of this accident was ascertained thero was considerable excitement ana contusion, wuicn, now- CVer, subsided as soon as the truth was inado known. Tho Afghans then de tained tho Kussiaus until they received an order from Herat to let tlicm go During this detention tho Afghans treat ed tho wounded Russian officer with great kindness, bandaging his wound, nnu sent mm uacK to me ltussiau lines. A hurried investigation of the occurence was made on both sides. Tho Russian commander exonerated tho Afghans and promised that his troopers should not again advance beyond Chamain-i-baid. Four English officers continuo to super vise the work of repairing and strength ening the fort3 at Herat. Ccniiilionntarj Notice. Read what tho Fargo Argus has to saj about the Wallack Dramatic company, which is to appear at Ross Opera house to-morrow and Tuesday evenings. "Never before has Fargo been so completery taken by surpnso as was tho case in the appearanco of tho Wallack Theatre com pany in this city. It is true tho company was'well advertised, bat as is frequently the case, the announcements failed to convince the people that it was the finest troupq that ever paid this city the honor of a visit. From first to last the plays havo been civen in tho most artistic style, without a break or failuro in any part. Tho presentations of "Victor Du rand" and "Ajady uiare" were so lar su p3rior to anything ever placed upon tho boards in this city, that thoso who had tho pleasure of witnessing these splendid plays and the manner of their introduc tion, will not forget the plays or tho actors, and should they again favor Fargo with a visit, they will bo greeted with an audience equalled only iy the capacity of the house."

THE LOST BABK. Fnrtker Particulars Besardin?; The ntddleff. tonsulre. Sax Feancisco, Aug. 2L No further intelligence could bo obtained to-day of tho wreck of tho British bark Hadilinj lo: sh ire off Point Reyes, last night. A tug started this morning for the scene of tho disaster, and will bring back the saved seaman and boy. Until they reach hero no accurate information about the disaster can bo obtained. The insurance was placed on the cargo of the lladdiivj- i tonshire by local agencies of various com panies as follews: lintisu isj-toreign in suranca company. 5,500; Union Insur ance society, 1,000; Canton Insurance corapanv, 2,SC0; Sea Insurance company, 750; Straits Insurance company, 1,000; Fireman's Fund, t,C00; Onion Insurance company, 2,500; Chinese Insurance com pany, 1,590; Commercial Union Assur ance company, of London, 3,000; Union Insurance company, of New Zealand, 1, 000; in Portland, unknown company, 3.(J00; Total, ),150. The following additional details havo been learned respecting the loss of the yessel; she went ashoro on tho beach about two and a half miles north of Point Reyos light. Tha sea was brooking heav ily, causing tho vessel to ground with tremendous force. Sho was a total wreck almost from the moment she struck, as a few moments later sho parted amidships. Tho officers and crow took to tho water and although tho distance to tho shore was not more than 250 yards only one man and the boy spoken of reached it alive. The captain and his remaining comrades must have been dashed to pieces against the sides of the vessel or drowned. Tho weather was so thick that it was impossible to discern anything a fow yards off, and as tho captain had lost his chronometer in tho storm near the equator ho could not havo had tho least idea of his situation or of his close prox imity to land. Tho saved seaman and boy succeeded in reaching a houso near tho point, whero they were this morning, but so utterly shattered and prostrated as to be unable to render any account of tho immediate causo of tho disaster. Largo quantities of canned salmon in cases are being washed ashore. Thero aro hopes that a good portion of this part of tho oargo can be saved. Thst Ucnne Appointment. New YorK, Aug. 2L The Sun's Wash ington special says: Tho man to whom tho recent scathing letter of tho president was written is declared to be A. Bush, n banker and ono of the wealthiest citizens of Salem, and tho judge referred to is Dawno. For several reasons Bush is fixed upon as tha man who wrote tho let ter addressed to "The President." In spection of four letters written by Mr. Bush to President Cleveland shows every ono to have been addressed "To tho Pres ident" out of a hundred different styles of addresses. "Wo are friends and do business with one another," says tho let ter. Bush is the only man in Salem with whom Dawne had busiaes3 dealings and who at the same timo was on bis paper. A. Noltner, a prominent resident of Port land and a clo.so friend of Senator Slater, Raid tho statements regarding Bush's po litical career and his relations to Dawne are accurate, and that ho believed Bush to bs tho author of tho letter of July 21.
