There will bo skating at the rink to-inorrow afternoon, for ladies only; there will be no charge. Skating as usual this evening.

Myers tells the Seattle PostInteUigencer that under the circumstances he thinks of transfer ring his cannery plant from the Sound to the lower Columbia. The honorable board of Oregon pilot commissioners meet to-day. But one of the board now resides in this city, which is contrary to the law in such case made and provided. James Tatton sold his steamer the Gen. Cluster to Messrs. E. E. Jackson and Fred. Ferrell yesterday, for Sl,200. Her new owners will run her on the Young's river route. Mrs. Malcolm advertises a choice stock of millinery, ladies' wear, etc., at very low figure. She will have an opening of spring millinery, etc, on Tuesday and Wednesday, the 30th and 31st inst. Chehalis county voted on the ques tion of locating the county seat on the 16th, with the following result: Cosmopolis, 318; Lower Montesano, 90; Montesano, 676; total, 1,114: ma jority for Montesano. 238. From San Francisco comes a re port of an advance in the price of twine. This cannot affect matters on the Columbia much, as the great er part of the necessary material was contracted for two months ago. All through the interior is report ed trouble of various kinds. In As toria everything points to a prosper ous season. The Astoria method of dealing with complications is com mended to other communities. It is entirely satisfactory to this. Another explosion under a Chinese wash house in Portland last Tuesday night occasions considerable com ment in that city. The presumption is that those attacks are the work of sneaks who it is hard to say are friends or enemies of the anti-coolie movement. In any event they bring discredit upon the cause. Industries at Seattle and vicinity are represented to be in an excited, disorganized and unsatisfactory con dition. Five of the seven coal mines have been shut up for three weeks past by strikes, and another, it is ex pected, will close if the owners do not yield to the miners. The seamen are striking for an advance of $5 a month, demanding $35 in the coast wise trade, and 'longshoremen are calling for S4 and $5 a day. Trouble is threatened by the latter at Tacoma, and the mayor has issued a proclama tion, warning the rioters to desist. Some time ago suit was brought by State Treasurer Hirsch in behalf of the state of Oregon against Mult noniah county to recover delinquent state taxes amounting to $6,000. It was alleged the counties should pay the state their full apportionment whether the full amount was collect ed or not The state circuit court decided this to be the case, and the county authorities took an appeal. The supremo court has affirmed the judgment'of the lower court, except as to interest, and taxed the costs against the appellants. This may be looked upon as a test case and applies to Clatsop county as well It may law but it doesn't look fair to make the county responsible for all delin quent taxes. PERSONAL. E. C. Crow, of Knappa, is in the city. Judge Moore, of St. Helens, is leg ietered at the Occident C. A. McGuire came over from Clatsop yesterday afternoon. Mrs. F. C.

There is not any great excitement To-day is the day set for the Chinese to depart. The town has been extremely quiet all day, and there are little fears of any action being taken. The Chinamen are walking the streets and foliowing their regular avocations as usual There is said to be some uneasiness among them, however, and strong precautions have been quietly taken to prevent any lawless movement HE TOOK XO BETUBN CEBTIFICAT2.

The Missouri Pacific attempted to start a freight train to-day. About a mile out of town a number of strikers boarded the train, killed the engine and brought the train back. The city marshal made a second attempt with the sheriff and a posse of policemen aboard, which met with the same re sult All but two engines of the Mis souri Pacific are disabled. axotheb biot. St. Louis, Mar. 24. A freight train of fifteen cars was made up this morning and started. At Seven teenth street it encountered a mob who ordered the engineer and fire man off. The order was promptly complied with. The mob became so dense that 150 police tried to clear the streets. They were compelled to use their club3. Tiie mob in turn threw rocks, and many were hurt on both sides. The crowd finally dis persed and the trains got out of the city. BAD HEMIC BLOOD. Bbus3Els, Mar. 24 A fearful state of affairs exists here. The strike is becoming nniversal. The men now demand an increase of pay and a de crease of hours.

A Chicago firm that deals extensively in Cali fornia salmon, fruit and other pro ducts, has taken advantage of tho'cut in rates to send to California some thirty carloads of tin plate to be used by canneries there. Usually this plate comes in sailing vessels from Liver pool around Cape Horn to the Pacific coast. A big warehouse firm said that they had shipped more iron of every description to the west California and Oregon since March 1 than ever before. In fact their business had doubled. From March 1 to March 20 tho rate on iron had been cut about 60 per cent, and while California and Oregon merchants were taking ad vantage of this there was also a better feeling in trade, and this matter was one of the reasons for the great in crease in the western trade. Manu facturers of iron pipe and machinery used in mines are having n great trade with California and Oregon, and in fact the iron trade with the far west has been the best in every department and branch, due in the main, of cocr3e, to the great reduction in rates. Not Lei. The contract for carrying the mail three times a week between Port Townsend and Sehome has not yet been lot Morgan & Hastings put in the lowest bid, about $11,000 per an num, but the department considered the bid too high, and has not as yet awarded tho contract, although the award will probably be made in a short time. If they receive the con tract, Morgan & Hastings will buy a steamer suitable to perform the serv ice. They have three steamers under consideration the Gen. Canby and Edith of Astoria, and the Fleetwood of Portland, either of whioh would do with some alterations and repairs. Seattle Post-lntelligencer, 21. To Housekeepers.

French troops have been routed by the Hovas in Madgascar with great loss. Geo. Hearst has been appointed U. S. senator by Gov. Stoneman, to suc ceed Senator Miller, deceased. Pasteur has failed to save one Rus sian who went to him in Paris to pre vent hydrophobia, having been bitten by a mad wolf. Gen. Crook started from Fort Bowie on the 23rd for San Bernardino to receive the surrender of Geronimo and his band of Apache followers. The emperor of Japan has sent $500 to New York, as a contribution to the Grant monument fund, in to ken of the high estimation in which he holds the memory of the illustri ous deceased. The St Louis Knights of Labor say they will accept no terms from the company unless offered them as mjmbers of the Knights of Labor. Snember of the executive committee said: "The worst is yet to come. I dread it, but there is no help for it If we were to submit now and return to work without being recognized as Knights it would be defeat, not only for us, but also for the labor unions, trades assemblies, and for evory la bor organization in the country. We will wait three or four days in hopes that some way towards a settlement may be opened, and then if the situ ation remains unchanged every freight train on every road running out of St Louis and Chicago will be stopped." At San Francisco railroad men who are in a position to know just how the fight stands at present, state that affairs are so mixed that it is im possible to tell how the rival roads stand in relation to each other. It is probable that the war will have to go on until the contending parties are able to see more clearly than they do now where they stand. The protest has already been so long and so stub born, and losses are thought to be so large, that a feeling of anxiety is be ginning to creep into tho breasts of railroad employes concerning their tenure of office, or their salaries, in view of the economy which will have to be practiced by the roads after the war has closed. Never in railroad history has such a war of competition been waged, and no contending rail roads have ever shown determination and staying powers as have the roads engaged in the present fight, and in the face of the most terrible slaugh ter of rates that has ever been known. When the end will come no man pre tends to know. Canned Good Exports and Imp nt.

The salmon lying in Liverpool, of fered in Mr. W. E. Aylwin's sale, failed to rouse competition. Some few offers at the auction of 21s per case were refused, and the bulk was taken in. Some have since changed hands, but if the hungry buyers of Liverpool are still eager there is yet opportunity for them to buy before salm.cn is all gone into consumption. We desire to contradict a statement made elsewhere last week (apparently with the desire of depressing values), to the effect that last season's pack is unsatisfactory in quality. As far as we can ascertain, the exact opposite is the case. London Grocers' Ga zette. The most prominent feature of this trade during the present week has been the extensive public sale that was held on Monday last, which, whatever else it did or did not illus trate, was remarkable for one thing, viz.: a want of animation in the mar ket, and a confirmation of the rather gloomy reports already published with reference to the state of busi ness privately. "Whether it was ow ing to the coldness of the tempera ture, and consequent backwardness of spring, to an unconquerable shy ness on the part of buyers there as sembled to "bid up," or to tho ab sence of other leading purchasers who are opposed to the practice of selling canned goods by auction, we cannot precisely say; certain it is that scarcely any demand appeared, and the bulk of parcels offered had to be withdrawn. It is, however, sat isfactory to observe that there were several inquiries after the sale, and within the past few days some im portant lines have been taken at tol erably full rates, so that out of a to tal of 8,350 cases about one-half have been taken, as under: 4,250 cases Co lumbia river salmon (each containing 48 1-lb tins), brands, "I. X. L.," "Point Adams," "Hapgood" and "American Flag," tails at 21s fid21s 9d per case. London Grocer. Simple sad Eaay. Tho tariff, my son? Oh, it's a sim ple thing, if you'll only givo it about five minutes studj. There is a great deal of talk made over it, but so there is always much talk about everything. The truo principle of protection and free trade, for they must ever go together, is this : "What ever you should have to buy Bhould be admitted entirely free of any duty, away down to bottom prices"; and whatever you have to sell should be protected away up to 120 in the shade. All men of all parties are agreed to that. "Then why do they wrangle and quarrel so loudly about tariff reform?" Oh, that's another matter. That is because they are notagreed on what to buv and sell.- wV lropcr Treatment For Coughs. That the reader may fully understand what constitutes a good Cough and Lung Syrup, we will say that Tar and Wild Cherry is the base of the best rem edies yet discovered.
