At the last meeting of the chamber ot commerce the answer to the naval commissioner's inquiries as prepared by the committee, was accepted. The little sou of Mrs. Sacketi was run over by a team on the street yes terday evening, sustaining severe though nut dangerous bruises.

Jos. Surprenant yesterday received a teregram from J. E. Ferguson savin? that he would leave San Franoisco for home to-day, AL Crosby returns on thosame steamer. He is very Hick. He was in a recent railroad accident and was badly shaken up. Oapt. Richardson, of tho Manzan ita, says that dispatch saying that his vessel would go to San Francisco to bring up the naval commission, is a mistake. Tho members of the com mission arrived in Portland yesterday evening, and after their arrival here will probably be taken by tho 2Ian zanita to the Sound. Beggars on tho San Francisco city front have found a new device to cre ate sympathy. They buy n fly blister, which is applied to their arms, thus raising a huge boil. Tbey then show the arm to passers, stating they have been severely scalded and are unable to work, on the strength of which statement some alms are expected. Despite the most diligent inquirv Mrs. W.

PERSONAL MENTION. John T. Rasq. xrhn hn.t lwn ntiitn ill, is convalescent. Citvattornev Nnlnnil rahimpil fmm Portland yesterday.

If we know all tho methods ot ap proach adopted by nn enemy we nre the bettor enabled to ward' off the danger nnd pospone the moment when surrender becomes inevitable. In many instances the inherent strength of the body suffices to enable it to op pose tue tendency toward death. Many however have lost these forces to such au extent that there is little or no help. In other cases a little aid to the weakened Lungs will make all tho difference between sudden death nnd many years of usefnl life. Upon the first symptoms of a Cough, Cold or nny trouble of the Throat or Lungs, give that old and wellknown remedy Boschee s German Syrup, a earful trial. It will prove what tnousands say oi it to be, the "uene- faetor of any home." Notice to Mariners.

CMliren Cry ferPitclier's Castoria THE PILOT BILL. A Correspondent Accounts For the Milk In tho Cocoannt To The Editor or The Astobian. The milk in the pilot bill cocoanut is this; Portland and Taeoma are, by agreement between the O. R. & N. Co. and the JN. P., mado common points. That is wheat we will sny is hauled from the interior, to tho two places at the samo rate. Ships can be chartered for Tcooma at about tho same rato as to Astoria. This leaves on the other side ot tho eqnation against Portland, 100 miles of sand bars anasuoais Detween rort land aud Astoria, the natural com mon point with Taeoma. This differ ence against Portland, is charged np to the snips loading at rortianti, wmen makes charters higher there, than at Taeoma. This places Portland at a disadvan tage by the amount of extra cost be tween Portland and Astoria, which is what Portland is trying to get rid of now. In her desperate effort to keep the pie and eat it at the same time, she has brought forth the pilot bill, whereby tho men who brave the storms by night nnd day, and who risk their lives for the safe conduct of ships into port, are reduced to a mere pittance for their services, that Portland might bo able to maintain her supremacy in the commercial world that she might be able to cope successfully with Taeoma. She is trying to demonstrate that, "He that hath not shall bo taken away even that ho hath." Suppose that they succeed in driving tho pilots from the river, which they surely will do if that bill passes, unless tho O. R. &N. Co. magnanimously steps in and makes her river captains pilots, what will be the result? Of course up goes insurance, and consequently up goes charters, then where are they? The Oregonian has always claimed, and justly too, that wheat cau bo hauled down through the Columbia gap to Portlaud cheaper than it can be hauled over tho mountains to Ta eoma. Then why don't they do it, so as to make the difference in tho costs between Portland and Astoria, and not try to cripple commerce, and du an unjust thing, by making tho pilots pay the difference. The reasons aro very simple. First the O. R. & N. Co. wants that difference to put iuto its pocket, secondly tbey don't daro do it, because so soon as they do, tho N. P. Co., will follow them down in rates, and tbey will be just whore they were when they started, because the two places, Port land and Taeoma, are made common points by agreement. There is no law of commerce or trade, that will eliminate the difference in cost ot charters between Taeoma and Port land, for the simple reason that tbey nre not by nature situated tho same. No amount of tinkering and squeez ing and unjust legislation, can make them commercially equal, for the bed of the river from Astoria to Portland is too near the surface. As well at tempt to make G equal 8. Then what is the remedy? Surely not in putting pilots on halt rations. It tho O. R. & Co., can haul wheat down the Colum bia, cheaper than tho N. P. can haul over the mountains, let it continue its line on down the river to Astoria, tho great natural common point with Taeoma, and let it deliver wheat at Astoria, the same as it is delivered at Taeoma, and that will settle it, and nothing else wilL That is the manly and business way to do it. This will save to tho farmers 75 cents to a SI a ton, on every ton of freight they ship, the O. R. & N. Co. will be as well off as the N. P. Co., by their own admission; Portland will be just as well off as she now is, Astoria will be a little better off, there will be a better feeling all around, aud the whole country will be moro prosper ous nnd harmonious. There is an irrepiessible conflict with nature in this matter, that will not down, till justice i3 done the country by these transportation lines. If the O. R. & N. Co., is not dis posed to do what is right for them selves and the whole country, put Oregon's commerce on an equality with that of the Sound, let the leg islature compel them to do so if it be possible. S. Death of Y. L. McEwao. W. L. McEwan, an old and well known resident of this city, died yes terday morning ot general debility.
