(X) &C Sa SStorfHtt. ASTORIA. OREGON: THURSDAY T.DECEMBER 29. 16S7 The t?reafc Eastern lias been Bold to a metal firm in London for 16,100. The vessel is to be broken up for the old metaL Ex-SECRETABY HoLCOMB, of the American legation at Pekin, says that out of the 400,000,000 inhabitants of the Chinese empire, fully 300,000,000 spend less than $1.50 per month for food. Blaise's recent comments come fresh and hot from the prolific and forgetive brain of a man who creates instead of borrowing ideas, and who, instead of repeating what others have said, says things for others to repeat As an evidence of the progress made by the negroes in the south since the war, it is shown by late sta tistics that in three states Georgia, South Carolina and Louisiana they pay taxes on $18,000,000 worth of property. The Italian government, when set ting out the great money value of its citrus crop and exports thereof (lem ons, oranges, eta,) passes over Florida as a serious competitor, but views California with considerable anxiety as Italy's coming rival in these pro ducts. It is stated that senator Sherman, feeling satisfied that Blaine would se cure the nomination for the presi dency, had determined not to permit higname to go before the Chicago convention. Although such a rumor is current in Washington, it is not given full credit. New England is deeply interested in the rumors about the solvency of some of the western farm mortgage companies. The loan companies of Boston alone hold 81,000 western farm mortgages on which $70,000,000 is outstanding. And the insurance companies of Hartford hold mortgages on western farms to the amount of $70,000,000. A Russian general has created a great sensation in Europe by furnish ing an elaborate scheme for the con struction of a railway through Siberia to the Pacific Ocean. It is intended to go by the shortest possible cut from the Urals to the Pacific ocean. The total cost of the road is estimated at $200,000,000, which, it is believed, can be readily raised in Bussia itself. The compulsory pilotage system will be the object of more energetic opposition by this congress than here tofore. Senator Pry's bill contains the following provisien: "That on and after the 1st day of July, 18S8, no sailing vessel of the United States, engaged in coastwise trade, shall bo holden or obliged to take any pilot in to or out of any port of the United States, or be compelled to pay any charges or fees to any pilot for pilot age services tendered under the pilot age laws of any state, unless such ser vices are accepted." Tee Astorian says that Chicago walked away with Milwaukee's wheat business on a margin of a quarter of a cent per cental and that the 5 cent ad vantage in favor of Tacoma is a "ghost that will not down." Tacoma Ledger, 25. The Astorian says nothing of the kind. Will our Sound contemporary please quote what this paper does say on this wheat question? and cease putting words in our mouth that wo never uttered? If the Ledger keeps on misquoting, it will probably be lieve its own falsehoods after awhile, but no one else, acquainted with the facts, should. Worth Knowing. Mr. W. II.
