&) Mt gmty gtforian. ASTORIA. OREGON; TCJESDAY DECEMBER 16. 18S3. The eteamship City of New YorTi, which arrived in San Francisco last Friday, had among her cargo 37() cases of prepared opium, which repre sents $151,700 in duty to be paid the United States government The en tire consignment including duty, is valued at 8250,000. mi- - i Manx of the leading editors throughout the state of New York have been interviewed by local papers regarding the course they intend to follow after January 1st, -when the law prohibiting the publication -of-the details of executions by electricity goes into effect A great majority of them declare they -will utterly disre gard the law, and publish all the facts in connection with executions 'which come in their possession. A late dispatch says there is a plain agreement between Great Brit ain, Germany, Russia and the United States that their respective subjects shall be prohibited from any and all pellagio fur-sealing within the waters of Behring sea from the first of May until the first of December annually, The Canadian government has not been consulted at all in this matter. The secretary of state has dealt with the British premier direct, and this arrangement has met with a willing and cheerful response from Great Britain, Germany and Russia. The Canadians have interposed and caused much trouble no doubt, but their ef forts havebeen futile, and were quick ly overruled at the home office. Chaeles Fbancis Adams, president of the Union Pacific railroad, de livered an address at the Commercial club dinner in Boston last Saturday, in -which he said of the interstate commerce law: "Contrary to bvery design of those who framed the act its provisions havo lent a new impe tus to just those forces it was intended to hold in check. The interstate com merce act, acting on the tendency of natural forces, is rapidly driving us forward to some grand consolidation or railroad trust scheme. Even this, from my point of view, I cannot re gard as a thing to be dreaded. I am very sure that great consolidated cor porations, or even trusts, can bo held to a. stricter responsibility than nu merous smaller .and conflicting cor porations. A well devised railroad clearing house scheme would prove, in practice, whether so intended or not, in the direct line of the enforce ment of the interstate commerce act in all its better features, and it has many such. m Gen. Howabd was interviewed in New York last Saturday, concerning what coast defenses were needed. The Atlantic coast, he said, he had not considered as much as he had the Pa cific "The Pacific coast armament is worse than the Atlantic coast Virt ually nothing in the nature of defense exists." He thought dynamite guns might accomplish muoh for coast de fense, but also thought too much might be expected from them. Speak ing further of the need for Pacific coast defense, Howard said that he thought the Pacific coast should first be considered, because it is further from the plant for manufacturing , heavy guns than eastern points - are, and it will require more .'Stime to put the Pacific coast in proper condition for defense. There are two things necessary to proper coast defense naval and land forces. It will never be possible to do away away with permanent defenses in war. The naval force will be the first de fense, but to be effective the navy must be moving, and is consequently uncertain." Two or three of the new dynamite guns havo been ordered for the protection of the port of San Francisco, but owing to the fact that that their range is only about half that of rifled guns carried by foreign nations; it is hard to see how they could be much protection. They would be within reach of an enemy which would be beyond their reach. Open Oysters Uy the pint or quart at the Red Corner Market. We aro selling Bisque Figures, Vases, Cups aud Saucers.

Motion for Kclicarics The attorneys for the appellants in the Silverton .electffan case filed a mo tion for a rehearing yesterday in the supreme court The point raised by tbe motion is that section 2507 of tbe oode does not permit the use of sur plus ballot paper obtained of the secretary of state for one election at subsequent elections. The section provides that ballots used at an elec tion shall all be of the same color and tbe appellants contend that to make this provision effective as a law that the ballot paper muBt be obtained for each specified election, so that the secretary of state can furnish all po litical parties ballot paper of a uni form color and thus secure absolute secreoy at tbe ballot box. .Attention is also called to the meaning of the adjective "any" as defined by Web ster's dictionary which is "ono out of many." If this 'definition is pat in the place of tho adjective "any" it makes the law read: "No ticket must be used at one election out of the many general special or munici pal elections held in this state or cir culated at tho day of election nnlesB it bo written or printed on paper furnished by tho secretary of state for the purpose" (of being used or circulated at suoh one election.) This is the way the section has al ways been understood and acted upon until the present case arose. Statesman, 1G. Prison Shop Enlarged There are now 2Si prisoners in tho Oregon penitenitary. Tho managers of the Northwestern Stovo Foundry Co. are preparing to give employment to new comers, in their shops by en larging the moulding room. A part of the moulding floor in the north shop has heretofore been used for storing moulds. This space will now be cleared of the moulds and the en tire floor will be used in moulding. This will greatly increase the ca pacity of tho foundry and will fur nish ample employment for all con victs not needed in other departments of the prison. Observatory Complete. The observatory of tho University of Oregon, located on Skinnor's Butte, just north of Eugene City, has been completed and tbe building accepted by the executive committee of the board of regents.
