The grand jury is still in session and will probably make its Anal re port to-morrow and be discharged. Cauliflowers and other "greens," the first of the season, arrived on yesterday's San Francisco steamer.

During the week President of the Council Bergman, in the absence of the mayor, has filled the position of police judge. B. T.

Jeannie Winston and the Pyke opera company at Boss opera house next Monday evening. Reserved seats at the New York Novelty Store. There is a race between the legisla tors introducing bills and the state printer printing them. At last ac counts the legislators were ahead. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer is a good paper and an honest one. Put it down to its oredit that it credits its contemporaries with items and ar ticles taken from their columns. - Tide and high wind together made unusually rough water in the stream yesterday morning, great green bil lows tumbling under the docks and swashing under the northern streets. Under the provisions of the bill now awaiting the president'3 signature, making yearly appropriations of $400,000 foi arms and equipments for state militia, the apportionment for Oregon will be nearly 3,000.

Several miles of wind blew in Asto ria yesterday. The delicate Bprings of the anemometer were hardly equal to the strain imposed on them, but it seemed as though during the morn ing there wera about 37,763 miles of wind moving in a free, frolicsome manner. Tee Astobian is enabled to present its readers every morning with a tel egraphic report which, though neces sarily expensive, is found to be ap preciated by our patrons. The line works badly this weather, and in this connection a word of acknowledge ment's due the operators in the As toriaoffice, who make every endeavor to insure correct transmission of the report. To get press dispatches for a morning newspaper in Astoria is an enterprise, the difficulty of which cannot be realized except by those who make the effort. Thk Astokian- feels grateful to its patrons and an appreciative public whose patronage and support make the enterprise possible. Washington, Jan. 20. Henry W. Elliott, the agent in this city of the Alaska Commercial company, says that the published statement credited to Governor Swineford, of Alaska, to the effect that the Alaska Commer cial company is opposed to the ex tension of the land laws to that ter ritory, is totally without foundation. The Alaska Commercial company says Agent Elliott does not desire to oppose and has not exercised any in fluence either for or against the ex tension of the land lnwa to the terri tory of Alaska, but on the contrary he himself favored such extension because from his knowledge of the territory of Alaska he believes it to bo as governor Swineford also be lieves it necessary to the develop ment and proper settlement of the country. STANLEY'S AFRICAN EXPEDITON. London, Jan. 20. Henry Stanley, the African explorer, is flooded ith so many offers from good men, who wish to accompany his proposed ex pedition for the relief of Emir Bey, that he has found it difficult to se lect from the many competent ap plicants tho few that will be required.

The senate was called to order this morning, and after roll call and prayer, President Carson announced a special committee regarding Tillamook bay, to be Gray, Lee and Irwiue; a special committee to investigate the Rogue river bridge, Steel and Weatherford. DEBATIKO A VISIT TO ASTORIA. Barm reported tho resolution from tho commerce committee to investi gate tho fishing industry of the Co lumbia at Astoria. Miller objected. Ho said that, whilo he recognized the importance of the Columbia fishery, should it be investigated it would have a tendency to injure tho matter. This resolution was simply to have a pleasure excursion and was out of place. Ho thought that the matter was out of order as the house had rejected tho proposition. Wager ob jected to the season of the year. Si mon said that the resolution "was irregular because the house had re- jeoted it. It was finally moved that the whole matter be laid on the ta ble, and was adopted by a vote of 15 to 14. Then Siglin moved to recon sider the matter; carried. Simon withdrew his resolution to allow Gray to explain the measure. Gray said tho idea was that the committee could, after seeing, make a report up on which to base a law. Hare said it was irregular. If the resolution was sent to the hou3e again it might be considered an msult to that body. Weatherford thought that Gray had better withdraw the resolution and subsequently bring it up in proper form. Barin withdrew his resolution that though the matter called for pic nics, yet so far as he was concerned he was willing to go on tho excursion. FIRST READIXa. S.

Probably as much misery comes from habitual constipation ns from any derangement of the functions of the body, and it is difficult to cure, for the reason that no one likes to take the medicines usually pre scribed. HAMBURG FIGS were prepared to obviate this (hfhculty, and they will be found plea3anfc to the taste of women and children. 25 cents. At all druggists. J. J. Mack & Co., proprietors. S. F. Some1 sixty or ninety days ago con siderable was said of new canneries proposed in Alaska. It is generally reported that one large firm in this city which made $250,000 or S300.000 in salmon last season, proposed start ing several canneries there this year, and that others wero also projected. But fall fishing on the Columbia, and a fear that irregular practices would reducolhe demand for salmon, no doubt had their effect, and we are credibly informed that no new can neries are likely to bo ' started in Alaska this season. It is therefore probable that last season's p3ck will quite equal the pack in Alaska waters the coming season. The Fraser is a peculiar river. The records show that every fourth year regularly, Irom the beginning of this industry to the present time, there has been an exceedingly light pack. The seasonoM8S7 is the one, accord ing to the rule that should bo a light run, and the spring pack on the Fra ser river will probably be considera bly less this year,- Tho Sacramento river seems to be about fished out. Canneries are be ing dismantled, and the fight is being chant. A merchant went to his head clerk: and said: "John, I owe about 310,-' 000, and all I possess is 34,000, which is locked up in the safe. I have been thinking that this is the right time to make an assignment, but what plaus ible pretext I can give my creditors I knownot. You have plenty of brains; think the matter over and let me- know your decision in'the morning.'" The clerk promised to do so. On en tering the office the next morning the merchant found the safe open, the money gone, and in its place a letter which read as follews: 'I have taken the $4,000 and have gone to Canada. It is the best excuse you can give your creditors. Some Hilarity on the Back Seats. A few nights since an old fellow went into a saloon in this county and remarked that he proposed to play with the boys a little. He opened the game by playfully slapping a young fellow on the face. The young man seemed to enter into the spirit of the sport, for he jocosely hit the old fellow in the jaw, breaking it in two places. Then the other face tiously tied his jaw up in a sling and the doctor, in a burst of hilarity, charged him $25. Polk Co. Item izer. -tfttteejiTiiid CoantrtfMer- ILeyuote to Healtli. Health is wealth.

The unprecedented sale of Botchee's German Syrup within a few years, has astonished the world. It is without doubt the safest and best remedy ever discovered for the speedy and effectual cure of Coughs, Colds and the severest Lungtioubles. It acts on an entirely diffeient principle from the usual prescriptions given by Physicians, as it does not dry up a Cough and leave the disease still in the system, but on the contrary removes the cause of the trouble, heals the parts affected and leaves them in a purely healthy con dition. A bottle kept m the house for use when the diseases make their ap pearance, will save doctor's bills and a long spell of serious illness. A trial will convince you of these facts.
