i" ? DO l a'Uj gtotfatt. ASTORIA. OREGON: WEDNESDAY JULY 13. 1687 The national federation of labor has an enrolled membership of 860,000. The cotton crop of Texas this year is estimated to roach 1,500,- 600 bales. i t The value of the coal produced last year in the United States was worth $147,112,755. " Dosing the first two weeks of June 6,000 men struck, nearly all for an advance of wages. The state department has re ceived no information in regard to the reported massacre of China men in Idaho territory. The Chi nese legation is equally ignorant. m t The shipments of wheat from this country to Europe during the year jnst ended amounted to 154, 000,000 bushels being the larg est amount exported in any one year on record, with the single ex ception of 1881. - 1 9 " It is expected that a conference of leaders in the Democratic party will be held in Washington soon, when an effort will be made to harmonize the party on the tariff question. Randall is not expected to be present. These is some talk in southern California of establishing a new state. The claim is made that the people voted for state division in 1860 and by a two-thirds vote con sented to a separation, and that there is no need of. an election now. The canvass for the New York city direotory for 1887, has just been completed. It will contain the names and residences of about 320,000 persons, an increase over last year of 7,000, and from which the publishing company estimates a population of about 1,600,000. England is wholly dependent upon foreign sources for her sup ply of cotton, buying 1,050,000, 000 pounds of the 1,490,000,000 pounds she consumes from the United States. Her raw cotton consumed costs her $185,000,000, add she sells the goods manu factured therefrom at $420,000,000. . m The press in the east is strong ly opposed to the. admission of Utah as a state until the people Kaye shown by their aots that their expressed opinion against polyga my in the constitutional conven tion is more than words. The atates are only willing to recog nize Utah's right to an equal posi- tion among them after a long pro bation. ' A Washington correspondent says that in the navy department "Commodore Walker has practi cally usurped about all the powers that ought to belong to secretary Whitney and admiral Porter." Walker has great influence as head of the bureau of navigation. He has not been at sea since 1881. The last time he had oommand of a ship (the Powhatan) he ran her ashore, and since then he has boy cotted the raging main. The tender of the Canadian Pa cific railway for the English mail service is as follews: It has of fered to contract for the ocean service at a speed of fifteen instead of eleven -knots, and to build its boats under the admiralty's super vision, so that they may be readily converted into armed cruisers, for a subsidy of 10,000 per annum; in addition to this it also offers to carry the China and Japanese mails for 3,500 miles across the continent of America free of charge; also to carry troops and government stores over the same distance of land over the ocean at cost price, thus making the routs an imperial highway.

The following is from the Baker City Democrat, which declares that it is as "true as 03pel." A few days since James Holcomb. proprietor of Sturgill bar on Snake river, was rid ing along the bank of the river, when he saw a large sturgeon lying in two and a half or three feet of water, ap parently asleep. The fish's head would bob up and the tail down, then the tail would up and the head down. Jim looked a long time at the fish, and finally the thought struck him that he wanted that fish, bnt the only thing he had to kill or capture it with was a lasso and plenty of rocke. So he took his rope and walked quietly into the water and up behind his fishship and dropped the rope over his taiL He did not dare cignien on tne rope until ne nau dis abled the fish; so he took up a large rock and when the head came up he let the stone ge: and ho made a splen did shot and hit it square on the head and stunned the fish. Then he drew the fish to the bank, tied it to a tree and finished it with a pocket knife. The fish was nine feet seven inohes long and weighed over 500 pounds. Believed to Be Trne. The Chinese hereabouts are appre hensive that all the Chinese mining camps on Snake river have been wiped out, says the Idaho Free Press. They say there are fifty or siity Chi nese mining on the Oregon side of Spake river about forty miles above Lewiston, and from the mutilated re mains of Chinamen that have floated down they expect that either Indians or whites have raided the camp and killed off the entire bunch. The Chi nese in Lewiston are strongly exer cised over the matter and have sent up four scouts to look around, and are also corresponding with the Chi nese Minister at Washington to in vestigate the matter. m m Tlie Verdict Unanimous . W. D. Suit, Drugeist Bippus. Ind., testifies: "I can recommend .hiectnc Bitters as the very best remedy. Every bottle sold has given relief In every case One man took six bottles, and was cured of Rheumatism of 10 years' standing.' Abraham Hare, druggist, Bellville, Ohio, affirms: "The best selling medi cine I have ever handled in my 20 years' experience, is Electric Bitters." Thou sands of others have added their testi mony, so that the verdict Is unanimous that Electric Bitters do cure diseases of the Liver, Kidneys or Blood. Only a half dollar a bottle at V. E.
