P. warehouse does not diminish very fast Notwithstanding bad weather the town is full of outsiders, and the hotels are quite busy. Arndt & Ferchen have recently re ceived several large boxes of cannery machinery from the east At the U. P. "warehouse is a large iron casting for a beam in Kiunoy's block. It was made in Salem. On account of the sickness of Rev. G. C Hall, Dr. Garner will preach in the Congregational church this even ing There is a lot of pipe at the U. P. wharf for the water works. The man agers evidently are planning an exten sion. The piles for Mr. Young's new block loom up at the corner of "Water and "West 9th streets, impressing the new comers with the idea that building is in progress. Yesterday morning a barge brought down a good sized load of paper pulp from the mill on Young's river. Every California steamer carries down quite a load of this material. Yesterday morning a surveying part' came in from John Days river. They have been out there for several weeks laving out a townsile in section 2G, in'chargc of J. T. Babbitt Fleckcnsteiu fc Mayer have sued "Wherrity & Gilmore for the alleged lialance on an account due the former. The sum claimed is Sl,225.-fcL J. Q. A. IJowlby is attorney for the plaintiff. The real estate transactions for January so far are very near 3700,000. For several days, though business has has been dull, Astoria's trans fers have equalled those of Portland. Astoria is very cosmopolitan. Al most ever nation is represented among its inhabitants. It is notice able that several of the young busi ness men are from England and Aus tralia. The trial of the six Chinamen, for keeping a lottery, was held yesterday before Justice May, C. W. Fulton at torney for the defense. The prisoners were bound over to the next so siou of the grand jury- Fred Hewitt reports that there are many men in town anxious for em ployment Every time the steamer comes in from San Francisco about one hundred and -fifty apply, when only twenty-five are needed. Our Mishawaka correspondent re poies a prize fight on the 13th, be tween H. M. Spencer and Timothy Corcoran Jr., in which Spencer's crip pled hand had fingers broken in two places and he also received bruises in his face. Spencer has previously taught school in that neighborhood. Many of the young people are very anxious to sec more social activity in the city. Astoria has a sufficient num ber of bright young ladies and smart young men to sustain considerable wholesome social" life. Of course la grippe and other sickness has acted as a sort of opiate on matters in gen eral, but there must soon be a change for the better. M.J. Kinney representing the As toria Packing Co. has liad-aninjunc-tion served on the city and, "W. G. Barry. This is to prevent the sale of lot 4, block 15 for failing to pay 'the assessment for a sewer on Washing tan street. Mr. Kinney claims that the sewer does his property no good because the -water washes up and lies under his building. Heard at the Wharf. "What about the unemployed men, do you ask?" said a man who ob serves. 'Well, notice this, that Asto ria is a peculiar town. We have a large number of men who work in canneries or at fishing. Business is dull now, but they have families and cannot easily get away. But," he continued, "it is mighty true that we have few real poor look ing people on any of our streets. Even if work is lacking and money scarce, the class you often see in large towns is not here." Said a prominent business man: "I was standing on the wharf this morn ing and could see only six largo boats in tho harbor. Now that number is too small for such a port as this. I have seen twenty-five vessels lying at anchor and beside the docks. I pre dict thatin five years you can count a hundred seagoing craft in .front of the town." Speaking of fow vessels suggests to ae," said a bystander, "how quiet is business at the TJ. P. warehouse or dock. There are .thousands of cases of salmon there waiting for a market It must' "be. discouraging for cannery men lo start up when they see this accumulation." With this in mind we took a stroll through this great building. How in teceetiBg to note the names given to various brands. Mot of these had bo connection with salmon. What about Tillamook," "Tier," or "Saw Log" suggests this famous fish? For aoeae reaeoo. such terms have been bowing bow great is the desire to iare a trade mark, something to cre ate iadmdaality.

Will litre One General Agent at San Francisco. Buffalo, N. Y.f Jan. 25. A meet ing of passenger representatives of the Vanderbilt lines, was held here yester day to consider matters relating to the Pacific coast agency established at San Francisco two years ago and to fill a vacancy at that agency caused by the resignation of Win. S. Baldwin, which takes effect April 1st The committee which visited the agency reported that it was more ex pensive than was warranted by the amount of business which could be secured. It was iesolved toabolfch separate agencies at Portland and Los Angeles. There will be one general agency at San Francisco with oue general agent and traveling passen ger agent The entire territory will be covered by these two men. Carlton C. Crane, passenger agent at Portland agency was chosen as Baldwin's successor. THE E1V TAUIFK HILL, Democratic Measures Jtejecled ! a I'.nrti Vote. Washington-, Jan.. 25. The was and means committee of the house have finally begun preparation for the tariff bill, working upon the same lines as the senate bill was based upon in the last congress The lumber and and wool sections of that bill were adopted entire with the exception of the clause relating to rattan and chair canes, which has been attacked by a number of persons on the committee, and consequently has been held up for future action. The schedule- of the senate bill, covering books and paper was also adopted. This action is preliminary. Theschedules adopted will be subject to revision when tho bill is completed. Tho Democratic members of tho committee manifested their opiosi tion to the proceedings by ottering substitutes for the sections adopted in line with the pro-visions of the Mill's bill or last congress, but their substi tutes were rejected by a party vote. Raising The Itleckade. Sackamento, Jan. 25. The west bound overland passenger train on tho Central Pacific route which has been in the blockade between Emi grant Gap and Sacramento since Jan uary 15, has been released at hist and passed through from Colfax at 2:05 o'clock this morning en route to San Francisco via Stockton. Most. The Anarchist. New YoitK, Jan. 25. Herr Johanu Most, anarchist, whose connection and sentence to one year 111 penitentiary was affirmed yesterday by the general session of the supreme court, was arrested to-day by de- detectives from tho central ofiice. He expects his counsel to obtain fur ther stay or proceedings and another release on bail while his ca.se is carried to the court of appeals. A Professor Dead. Dublin, Jan. 25. Rev. J. Withrow, D. D., professor of church history and pastoral theology in Magee college, Londonderry, is dead. Xataral Ga Explosion. Pittsburg, Jan. 25. At De Haven Station, Penn., a natural gas well, with a pressure of five hundred pounds, ignited yesterday while four drillers were plugging it The men were terribly burned. All but one, George Moore, will recover. The well is still burning, and probably it will bo necessary to smother tho fire with a great smokestack, as was success fully done at the great Murraysvillo gas well fire a few days ago. The Socialist Bill Defeated. Berlin, Jan. 25. Herr Bebel, so cialist resumed his debate in the reich stag to-day. Upon conclusion of tho debate the bill was put to a vote and rejected by 93 affirmatives to 1G9 neg atives. Prince Bismarck did not ap pear in the chamber during the day. After the vote was announced Herr Von Boetticher, chief of the imperial home office and representative chan cellor, announced the close of the ses sion of the reichstag. Rough B the S. P. Lines. Pobtlaxd, Jan. 25. Tho condition of the blockade on the Southern Paci fic is as hopeless as the most virulent enemy of the company could wish. The wires in the blockaded region are demoralized. It is expected as soon as their working is resumed that dis astrous washouts and land slides will bo reported. By to-morrow the Union Pacific ex pects to be in fair shape again. No fears of washouts or land slides are entertained. Some new snow is re ported in the Blue mountain stretch, but the fallis light and prospect good for rain with southerly winds. A Cashier Gam to the 8prlag. Portland, Jan. 25. iWilliam Dun bar & Cov wholesale ind commission merchants, are minus their cashier, and, strange 'to say, the cash book for three years past, is missing too. Wm. C. Roberts, an Englishman, has had immediate control of lhefirm's money, and on account of his integrity and great business tact sustained thor oughly confidential relations with the house. He is suspected of being a de faulter, to what extent the firm is un able to say, as tlie casn dook lias oeenj missing since the departure 01 ivob- erts, ostensibly on a vacation. Will BrtBg Smit Fer 994,000. W. H. Parker, contractor on the line of the railroad, yesterday took the preliminary steps to bring suit for $64,000. ' He says he has placed the requisite papers In the hands of his lawvere, and in ten days will sue the Astoria and Sonth Coast railway for that amount. As far as that is con cerned, he might as well sue The As- jokiak or one of the canneries. The Astoria and South Coast road has nothing to do -with his claims. It is probable that an effort will be made .to attach the roadbed from the jaaetientbosgh tke possession of a parOy,iid6rol.is'Doper se, an. extwrdtMriIy valuable piece of property. A LEGEND OF CALLAO. How tie Islanfl Mountain. . or San Lorenza Got Its Name. 1'JIA XKS 1'LA TJJ1 Jl 1' THE 1VA 1'JES. Sea and shore items were dull yes terday, but around Scotty Johnson's coal fire sat sundry seafaring men who smoked long clay pipes and looked at tho glowing embers. The talk'varied from the Clan Jfc- KenzUiS collision to the Aiidreta's crossing out and then they drifted from that to the west coast, and the big storms and tidal waves often felt near Arica, Peru. "Whenever seismic disturbances are mentioned in my hearing it always re minds me of the desperately calami tous affair that took placen Callao, Peru, in 1740," said the cap'n break in ir iu on a spirited discussion touch ing the bebt quality of oil for binnacle lamps. It is needless to say that earthquakes had not been mentioned or even thought o f by anyone present except the cap'n himself. But if the cap'n said earthquakes why earth quakes it was, and the sailors at once placed themselves in convenient list ening attitudes. Vas you there, cap'n?'' asked tho lubber. "Certainly I was; been there several times. This seismic dis" "How old a man are you, cap'n?" "Forty-two on my last birthday," re plied the cap'n. "Say," he continued, as ho divined the drift of the lubber's question, "if it wasn't for tho sailors hero I would pipe down on this story at once. You measly, lop eared idiot, did you 'spose I meant that I was in Callao at the time of the earthquake lliJ years ago? Couldn't the fact pos sibly be jammed into your skull that I was there since the upheaval? If I didn't have sense enough to sit and listen to intelligent remarks I'd keep my figure head closed," and the cap'n looked daggers at the wretched lub ber. "Don't be too hard on the ioor cuss, cap," suggested one of the sailors. "He ain't never been nowhere or don't know nothing." "That's a fact" said the captain, somewhat mollified; "but I do get wa ter logged laying up alongside of such unreasonable follis, but I reckon I'll have to stand it Now, if somebody will tell me what I was talking about I'll get under way again." "Earthquakes!" shouted the sailors. "So it was." said the cap'n, again resuming his reminiscent expression. "The desperate disaster of which I spoke look place at six bells on the night of Oct 28, 174G. The people were first turned out by a tremendous shock and a low rumbling noise like thunder. The first seismic shock was followed by 200 lighter jerks lasting over a perod of twenty four honrs. Deep, booming noises came from far out over the sea, and the upheaval kept on until they pnmpod up a great tidal wave eight' feet high. Callao was built on a ris ing coast, with the lower portion of the town clustered' along the docks. Like all seaport towns this was the most thickly populated part When the big wave rolled in on shore it was accompanied by a powerful shock which broke off the lower edge of the city. And when the wave retreated it carried the town and 18,000 people with it down into the sea. "Fm now coming to the most curi ous incident of that terrible night " continued the cap'n. "Before the trouble the harbor was clear, but now an island mountain 4.00 feet liigh rears its head near the northern shore of the harbor, A lighthouse graces the top of the island, which is down on the map as San Lorenza, and one ot the prettiest and most romantic .of the many Peruvian legends is told in con nection with the naming of the island. It was named after San Lorenza, the man who discovered the mountain, and is au intensely interesting story when told in Spanish. I heard it in that language myself, but as none of you fellows understand Spanish, I'll tell it in English. "Mr. Lorenza, or San as they called him for short was a fisherman, and went out to sea every night in his frail Peruvian bark to fish for hake and haddock. The native fisherman has a light skiff or canoe in winch he piles his calling and one paddle. He sits on his knees in the stern of the boat and fishes with a line 200 feet long, using his front finger for a pole. On the fatal night of October 28th, San had just got a bite when ho heard the ominous rumble. Before he could either land the fish or grab his paddlo he felt himself going up in the air. It was so dark that San couldn't see any thing, so he clutched both gunwales of his boat and hung on. Presently there came another jerk, and the fish erman went up a few more feet "The unhappy man was too fright ened to move, so he sat there, going up by jerks, until daylight Then San peered over the edge of his boat and found himself sticking on top of a mountain 400 feet in the air. The peak was so sharp that it pierced the bottom of his boat and stuck up four feet above San's head. He still hung on to his fisliline, which had a horse mackerel dangling from the hook, dead, halfway down the mountain. The survivors discovered San in the morning and that is the beautiful leg end of how San Lorenza got its name." "How did they get Lorenza down off the mountain? ' asked tho lubber. "I was just going to tell that," said the cap'n In an angry tone, "but as you seem to be in such a devilish hur ry Fillet you wait awile." And tho crusty old sailor walked away. PERSONA Ij MENTION.

HABEIISHAX'S PROPOSITION. The Nelialcm Settlers Want to Have It Discassed. The Astobxak is in receipt of two communications from the Nehalem re garding the petition of F. E. Haber sham to the county court Mr. H.'s petition is that the coun ty court declare that portion of the Nehalem river from the lino be tween Columbia county and Clatsop count to the mouth of Little EockU. creek, in Clatsop county, a public highway for the purpose of floating and transporting logs, lumber and timber, and to lease the same to him for a term of twenty-five years, and grant him the right to remove all ob structions from that portion of the Nehalem river, and also the right to boom logs, lumber and timber therein and to receive and collect tolls there for. Those who write say they fear if the county court grants the petition, thai it will make it burdensome on tho public in that vicinity, and object to the petition on that ground. They ask The Astobian for ihe facts. At the December session of the county court F. E. Habersham pre sented his petition. The county court thought that tho best way was to give public notice of the petition, and ac cordingly the petition was ordered published for six consecutive weeks. These are the facts so far as ascer tainable. The matter comes up before tho court on the 7th of next April. On that date any and all who object to the granting of the prayer of the peti tioner wil have opportunity to appear and present their objections. That 13 the object of the publication of the notice. Nothing will be doue about it by the court until the 7th ot next ApriL That is the time to appear an J offer ob jections to the proposition. NEW WHOJilMUiE IHMJiJUIarS.
