m Wt gailg gstafafc ASTORIA. OREGON: FRIDAY-. JDLY 15.1SS7 S03IE FAST SHIPS. Some remarkably fast vessels, both for war and passenger ser rioe, have reoently been built in England. The former, however, though built in England, are not for the British navy. The swift est craft yet turned omt of an En glish dockyard and probably the swiftest constructed anywhere up to the present are three torpedo boats supplied to Spain, Italy and China. The Chinese craft is the slowest of these, but her speed is 23.8 knots. The Italian torpedo makes 25 knots. These two boats are about 130 feet long by 13 feet beam, and are equipped with tor pedo guns, fore and aft. But the swiftest craft of all is the torpedo boat built by Thordencroft for the Spanish government, which is said to have made the extraordinary peed of 29.01 knots, or some what more than thirty-three miles an hour. The fastest craft in the English navy is the Stiletto, whose speed ranges from 22.12 knots in a rough sea to 22.89 knots with all the conditions fa Torable. Thus, the Stiletto holds only the fourth place among tor pedo boats. She is smaller, how ever, than those mentioned above, being only 90 feet in length, and therefore most diffioult to hit. A passenger steamer, the Queen Victoria, intended to ply between Liverpool and Douglas, Isle of Man, has been built at Greenock. On her trial trip, which was made in the teeth of a heavy gale, she averaged 22 knots equal to 25 miles an hour, The Cunarder Umbrid8 last voyage beat the transatlantic record, with an aver age of 19 knots, making the dis tance in six days, four hours and twelve minutes. At the speed at tained by the. Queen Victoria, the Atlantio could be crossed in four days and eighteen hours. Matters between the O. R. & N. Co. and the people of eastern Washington, says the Telegram, are in about this conditien: "The company declares it cannot carry wheat between Walla Walla and Portland at less than $5 per ton and pay running expenses. The people declare that they cannot pay more than $3 per ton and make running expenses. If facts bear out these assertions on both sides it is 'apparent that the peo ple of that region had better seed their fields down to grass and raise stock, since a surplus of that kind could be driven out of the country, and no thanks to trans portation lines. There is dearly no point to farmers in giving the crop- year after year for the sake of getting it placed in market, and no point , to railroad companies in carrying it at a loss. The way to get at the facts in the case is to observe which of the two forces in the contest get the better return for labor and invest ment, as indicated by their rela tive prosperity, the farmers in the eastern Oregon and Washington region, or the transportation com pany that has long served them in taking their crops to market." But a better way would be to take it down the route marked for it by the hand of the Creator the Co lumbia river as it will be some time, when the obstructions at the Cascades and The Dalles are re moved. Yesterday's New York World prints letters from seventy recog nized leaders in the labor political movement throughout the country, in reply to a series of questions relative to the problem of the po- Htical action of a new party in the ' presidential contest of 1888, and in state elections this year. Re- plies are received from leaders in twenty-eight states. Fifty-nine labor men replied for themselves and organized labor in their vicin ity. They were in favor of inde pendent political action at this flalTn State and local eleotions. Three replies are in favor of not holding a convention until state committees are organized. Sixty six replied in favor, most emphat ically, of the nomination of a labor candidate for the presidency, and four are non-committal. From the various replies to the question, as to the party from which the new movement will draw more largely, it seems labor men expect to get about 70 per cent, from the Democratic ranks, and 30 per cent, from the Republican. A Mississippi candidate for the legislature, named Chatam, shot and killed a Mississippi editor named Hawkins, at Lexington, in that state, last Wednesday. The dispatch says they had been dis cussing politics and drinking beer. Politics always are an unsafe topic to discuss, except in self defense. It served the editor right to be killed. He should have got the drop on the other fellow. Women" were not allowed to vote at the Seattle city election last Monday. Opinion is divided in the territory on this question, somo holding that the women have a right, under the law, to vote; others, that the recent territorial court decision is final and that they cannot vote. Wir. McDaniel starved him self to death in Los Angeles last Wednesday, afraid or unwilling to spend any of the $3,000 he had de posited in the bank. Wm., by this action, showed that he had a just and accurate idea of the value of his life. The fruit and salmon crops are short this year, but the wheat never promised better, and there is every appearance of a big crop. Lumber interests, too, are prosper ous. The San Diego, Cal., dailies are dying, which would appear to indicate that the great southern California boom is waning. LITTLE PEOPLE. On a young child being told that ho must be broken of a bad habit, be re plied, "Papa, I had better be mended, hadn't I?" Minister fmakine a call) And do you' always do as your mamma tells you to do, Flossie? Flossie (emphat ically;! guess i do, and so does papa. Little Mamie, on observing a coach dog for the first time,oaUing excited ly to her mether: "Oh, mamma! mammal do come and see this great big freckled dog." A Lake View boy was delighted when his mother returned from the city with a new pair of trousers for him, but when asked to try them on he refused, and gave as his reasen: "No; 111 save them till next Sunday, and s'prise Jeaus when I go to Sun day BchooL" Little Sadie M. was recently eating a good deal of choice oonfeotionery, to the detriment of her digestive or gans. Finally her mother sternly forbade her eating any more. Sha sighed mournfully and said: "Oh, dear, I wish I was a cow." "Why, Sadie," exclaimed her mother in a horrified tone, "what do you meanf" "Well, if I was a cow, I could bring all that candy up and chew it over again. A Bright and Shining Exception.
