ASTORIA, OREGON:
WE DNKSDAY MAUCII . 1SST
The city directory of Portland for
1887, contains 11,420 individual names,
an increase of 1,764 over last year, and
indicating 37,300 population.
Three of the conucilmen, the clerk,
city attorney, chief of police, janitor,
Astobiak reporter, and three specta
tors met by chance at the council
rooms at the regular hour for the reg
ular council meeting last night and
adjourned to meet next Tuesday at
"the usual hour," half-past eight, or
thereabontrf.
The first consignment of Columbia
river smelt of '87 was received in th.s
city yesterday afternoon, and the lit
tle fish were eagerly snapped up at
fifteen cents a pound. They were un
usually late in arriving this spring,
and for a time it was feared that the
old boss smelt had put-a pocket veto
on the annual appropriation for trav
eling purposes.
Good authority reports that the
depth of water in the channel at the
mouth of the river by the official
.survey of last September, is a
good twenty-two feet at mean
lower low water, pilots and masters
roporting a continuance of this depth
.since September. The distance be
tween the inner and outer four-fathom
low water curves is about half a mile.
The location and direction of the bar
channel is such that it is partly pro
tected by the middle sands from the
heavy swells, so that at 'times of the
heaviest seas vessels in crossing roll
rather than pitch. Greater draught
can, therefore, be carried over than
in a channel of the same depth, but
less protected.

Death of Henry "Ward Beecher A Dis
astrous lire at "Walla Walla.
Brooklyn, Mar. S. -Henry Ward
Bcecher died at 9:30 this morning.
He was in a stupor throughout and
began to sink slowly at midnight. He
died in a sleep and never roused to
consciousness from the moment of
the first attack. The most of the
members of Mr. Beecher's family were
present when he died, besides several
other intimate friends. He passed
away without the least suffering. No
arrangements have as yet been made
for the funer.nl.
Mrs. Beecher bore up with wonder
ful courage. There is no crape on
the door, as he always objected to
gloomy emblems. Instead, a beauti
ful wreath of Hower3 is being left at
the side of the doorway. The artist
took a cast of the face to be used for
a statue, provided for in the will of
H. W. Sage, a member of Beecher's
congregation. There will bo no ex
amination of Beecher's brain or other
orgaus.
The news of his death pread rap
idly over Brooklyn. Flags on all the
public buildings were put at half
mast; the city hall bell was tolled
and people of all opinions expressed
regret at his death. Brooklyn may
appropriately be called a city of
mourning.
FIRE AT WALLA WALLA.
Walla Walla, March 8. -There
was an incendiary fire here last night,
being one of the heaviest ever known
here. For some time it was feared
that the whole business portion of the
town would go, and it was only by
the greatest efforts of the fire depart
ment and citizeus that saved it. The
burned district is from Third to
Fourth streets and from Alder to
Rose street The fire crossed Main
street and burned the "buildings on
both sides. Nothing but the greatest
exertions saved the Union office. The
loss is estimated at one hundred
thousand dollars; small insurance.
In the list of burned buildings are
included eleven saloons; with two
exceptions all the structure burned
were wooden buildings.

LAST EVENING'S MEETING.
Several Speeches 3Iade and Some
Iutjons Passed.
Roo-
The meeting at the courthouse last
evening to express the sentiments of
the people, was called to order by C.
W. Fulton,, who, on motion, was made
chairman of the meeting. After a
few prefatory remarks, a resolution
was offered that a committee of three
be appointed to draft a series of reso
lutions expressing the sense of tho
mqetiug. Stato senator Gray spoke
in support of the motion, saying that
it was not Astoria, but tho enitire
northwest, and in fact the entire na
tion was affected thereby, and that,
in a dignified way. this community
should express its emphatic disap
proval of president Cleveland's action
in the matter of the river and harbor
bill.
Geo. Noland being called upon, said
he didn't feel at all indignant and
thought the president might have
very good reasons for refusing to
sign the river and harbor bill.
State senator Gray made a few ad
ditional remarks saying that as a cit
izen, apart from any political feeling,
he thought that the cowardly position
assumed by the president in refusing
to sign so necessary a measure, called
for severe censure on the part of every
true citizen, or every well wisher of
his countrj's good, be he Ecpublican
or Democrat.
The motion was then put and car
ried. The chair appointed J. II. D.
Gray, P. A. Stokes and- Eobt. Car
ruthers as such committee. On mo
tion the chairman was added to the
commettee, and N. Clinton was
elected as chairman during the con
ference of the committee.
Sheriff Bos3 was called upon for a
few remarks and said that till both
sides were heard, he preferred to de
fer his decision, and believed there
were a good many other people the
same way.
Geo. tfohuson being called upon,
said that he was but a looker on; that
he believed that it was an outrage to
veto or neglect to sign such a fair and
just public appropriation as the river
and harbor bill passed by both houses
or the 49th congress. Cleveland had
sanctioned a steal; he had signed a
bill to appropriate 35,000,000 to
maintain 24,000 men, but he couldn't
sign a bill to appropriate necessary
dollars for the improvement of water
ways. He thought that if president
Cleveland wanted to stop stealing, to
economize, he ought to have begun
somewhere else. Oregon's congress
men and senators had done their
duty and Cleveland hail arrogantly
killed the bill. That was a power
that no European king could have.
We needed an open river; we ought
to have appropriations; we must,
sometime, a3 a state, take hold of this
matter; there lies the remedy. He
thought, however, that it was hardly
consistent for Astoria to complain
against nature's barriers till artificial
barriers had been removed. This ap
propriation matter was not a question
of temporary spending of a few paltry
dollars; it was the matter of aiding
the whole country; it was for poster
ity; it was for" those who would fol
low us; to aid the country, that it
might be the better for us having
lived in it.
G. C. Fulton was called upon, and
said that as a citizen and not as a
Republican, ho thought after so many
weary weeks of work on the part of
congress it was aseribingittle impor
tance to the representatives of the
nation to upset all their work at tin? I
last nuuute and, without assigning
a single reason for his action, in
fusing to allow the bill to become a
law. The less money in circulation
the easier for the money kings to
control the national finances, and as
president Cleveland is in with thoso
money kings, he didn't waut tho
amount of money appropriated iu the
bill to get into general circulation;
and the speaker believed that that
was' the true reason for president
Cleveland's action in this manner.
The committee on resolutions hero
appeared and read the following reso rese reso
luteons: Whereas, the 4.9th congress, by a
large majority vote, passed what is
commonly known as the river and
harbor bill, which contaiued, among
other appropriations, an appropria
tion of $225,000 for continuing the
improvement of the entrance to the
Columbia river, and 125,000 for con
tinuing the construction of the locks
at the Cascades in said river, and
"Whereas, said bill was sent to the
president several days prior to the
adjournment of congress, and he, in
stead of approving, or vetoing it, re
tained possession of said bill until
after congress adjourned, thereby
preventing the bill from becoming a
law; therefore be it Resolved, by the
citizens of Astoria in mass meeting
assembled:
1st. That we sincerely regret aud
deplore the serious delay to said im
provements and injury to the com
merce, prosperity and development of
the state of Oregon and Washington
territory consequent upon the defeat
of said bill.
2d. That the president of the
United States by Lis conduct in re
lation to said river and harbor bill,
has proven himself the champion of
the eastern monopolists and moneyed
power and as opposed to legislation
necessary to the prosperity and de
velopment of tho western states.
3rd. That, if the president enter
tained an honest objection to the en
actment of said bill, it was his duty
to return it to congress, with his ob
jections thereto in order that con
gress might, if in its wisdom it saw
fit, exercise its constitutional right
of passing the bill notwithstanding
mo intaiucuio vciu, iiuu tUUb 111 lull
ing so to do the president resorted to
a trick to defeat tho will of the peo
ple expressed through their repre
sentatives; and that such conduct on
the part of the president was unbe
coming oue occupying tho high posi
tion of chief executive of a great na
tiou. The resolutions were adopted.
C. "W. Fulton made a ringing
speech after the affirmative vote on
the resolutions. The matter of par
tisanship was one that should not be
thought ef: it was a matter of na
tional importance; of interest to the
whole country; as for partisanship
the proposition was an idle one; this
was an occasion that called for the
exercise of the attributes of an Amer
ican citizen, and not bo so timid as
to fear that an henest expression of
opinion would possibly hurt the po
litical future of any citizen.
J. E. LaForce, ,T. H. D. Gray aud
others made further remarks, and
Geo. Johnson moved that a vote of
thanks be tendered by the meet
ing to senators Dolph aud
Mitchell, and congressman Hermann
for their earnest and praisoworthy
eilorts to promote our best interests
and the material benefit of the north
west. This was done, nnd the meet
ing adjourned.
OK ALLSAI) WOUDSOFTOXflUE ORPEN
The Saddest Are These: "It ilij-lit Haw
Been."
If president Cleveland had not
pocketed the river and harbor bill,
there would have been appropriated
for improvements in Oregon and
Washington the following sums:
Mouth of the Columbia $225,000
Cascades 123,000
Yaquina bay 70,000
Lower Willamette and Columbia
rivers f0,000
Coos bay 23,000
Coquille river. 12,500
Upper Willamette 7,500
Upper Columbia and Snake 5,000
Umpqua river 5,000
Total t $523,000
There remains unexpended, of the
appropriation of 18S6, for rivers and
harbors of the northwest, about
8400,000, and it is reasonably certain
that no future appropriations will be
available in time to begin work be
fore the spring of 1889. So the
amount now on hand will have to be
spread over the next two years, and
it will necessarily be very thin.
An Oregonian man called on
Capt Charles F. Powell, U. S en
gineers, yesterday, to inquire the
amount in his hands still unexpended.
Capt. Powell did not have exact fig
ures at hand, but gave from memory
the following statement, which is ap
proximately cerrect:
Moath of Columbia river, about. $180,000
Yaquina bay, a little less than. . . 70,000
C003 bay 10,000
Coquille river 10,000
Cascades canal 130,000
Tho appropriations" for rivers emp
tying into Puget sound have been
about half used up.
The office of Major V. A. Jone3
was visited for the purpose of learn
ing what amount remained for the
lower Columbia aud Willamette, up
per Columbia aud Snake, and upper
Willamette.'.but that officer wa3 no
in. ic is uncterstoou, nowever, mat
the appropriations of 18S6 are nearly
exhausted, and that thero remains
barely enough to protect the work, '
pay watchmen, etc., for the next two '
years. :
