The principal j topic or conversation here to-day is the visit of the Astoria delegation to j C. P. Huntington. His time making i it impossible for him to go to Astoria this afternoon. It is authoritatively staled as the result of the final inter view with Mr. Huntington that the agreement reached was mutually satis factory. Huntington said that he wants to build to Astoria, and that he certainly will do so. He asked that Astoria give him two hundred thousand dol lars subsidy, and the railroad to the 1 .Seaside: the 200,000 subsidy is to be paid him when the broad gauge rail road from Astoria is. completed to connection with the Southern Pa cific. He said that he had a high opinion of Astoria's future; that he is confl dent Astoria will be a great citv and , . -i S.u, seapon. The Astoria delegation promised to secure acceptance of his proposition. Huntington then agreed to put sur veyors in the field, at once, on signing the contract. He says that the road he will build will be a better one, and have belter connection than Astoria ever dreamed of. It is rumored here to-night, and I hear it on very good authority that the Oregonian railway will be converted into a standard gauge road, and ex tended to "Winnemucca. This, as you well know, also means much for Astoria. The delegation return to-morrow. The (Jreyonian chuckled through a column yesterday, as follews: The Hnntiuaton party are still with us, having returned to their quarters at The Portland Sunday night from their jaunt up the valley to Corvallis and back.

Ho is a very agreeable and approach ablo gentleman for tho newspaper man to deal with, manifesting a gentle cour teousness wholly at variance with the big I and little you of many railroad men in far less exalted positions. Tho reporter questioned him about tho dispatch which appeared in yesterday's Oregonian. purporting to give the cause of tho original breach between himself and Governor Stanford. "Tho article is substantially true," ho said. "Stanford did oppose the building of tho Oregon and California connection. However, I quarrel very little with him. He is a very clever man in his way, but not much of a success in business. He has. however, not had very much to do with the practical operation of tho road." "Do you think tho road could have se cured tho favors it has had without tho political 'pull' which Stauford has kept up?" "Yes, I do. 1 am wholly of tho opinion that politics and business should be kept separate. Whatever legislation is neces sary to secure, can bo attained with equal facility which ever party is in power. "When tho president of a great corporation like tho Southern Pacific starts out to run for office, the first thing ho does is to antagonize the forty or fifty other men who want the same office. And when he becomes so engrossed in politics as to impair tho success of his management of business undertakings, it is time he should step down and let those take bis place who will devote their energies to the business. I am a railway man myself, not a politician. I have spent a great portion of my life, about miriy yeurB, m uuuiuuk uuu uperairag railroads building mostly, for I can get peoplo to operate them whose familiarity with details enables them to attend to that branch more successfully than I could. I said thirty years in railroading, but for years before that I was in the metal and hardware business, a kindred line of operations, so that I consider myself quite at home in r&Uroading." "What will you give out for publica- tion, Mr. Huntington, about the Coos bay and Astoria projects?" "Nothing has been done about the Coos hay matter. "We shall not decide to build to any place until we have been there, and not a soul of us has ever been to Coos bay. It is not wholly improbable that a line will eventually be run to Astoria, but even that has not yet been decided on. The Astoria people will un doubtedly submit some sort of proposi tion, which wo shall merely take under advisement, but you can say in the paper that no decision will be reached for some time yet. It would not be pos sible, of course, to build the road this year, oven if a decision should be reached at once, ns too much time is necessary to get tho metal on the ground."' "What will you do with tho narrow gauge lines?" "On the East Side wo shall alter the gauge to standard, and come in over the Oregon and California tracks, acrosa the steel bridge, using the terminal facilities on this side. The West Side road will be thoroughly fixed up. It never has been in any kind of shape, and needs over hauling. We shall run into Portland on the P. fc W. V. road. We shall undoubt edly build some additional roads here, but just what tbev will bo we have not yet decided upon." "Will these roads be built by yourteli or the Southern Pacific?" "Tho two ownerships are really so closely allied that it make3 very little difference. Mr. Stanford has no part in the purchaso of the Oregonian railway propert3 Probably he thought that the interests of the Southern Pacific would bo protected by myself and Messrs. Hub bard and Stillman." "Will yon bridge tho Willamette op posite Dundee?" "That is one of the things we have not yet decided on. It is down on our list of matters to attend to, but has not jet been reached." Messrs. Hubbard k Stillman, tho Hop kins estate attorneys, leave for tho East this morning by the Union Pacifio fast mail. Tho rest of tho party, consisting of Mr. Huntington, his secretary, G. E. Miles, Vice - President Towne, his secretary, 15. S. Worthington, and General Fessenden, leave to-morrow morning overland for San Francisco. That, at least, is tho present programme, though Mr. Huntington told bis doctor last night that he might stay longer. DAMOX AM) PYTHIAS." To lit Urprodiu-ed Xext SatnrJay Evening. Those who were present at the opera house on Monday evening, and saw the drama so creditably presented by the K. of P. Amateur Dramatic association were impressed with the desire that it should be repeated, on account of the merit of the piece, and in order that a liberal amount of money may be obtained for the char itable purposes for which it was given. An effort has been made to accom plish this result, and the following letters show that it will be successful. They speak for themselves: K. of P. Dramatic Society. Ladies and Gentlemen: We, the under signed, having been informed that your rendition of the beautiful play of "Damon and Pythias," although a credit to you as amateurs, realized, but little for the widows' and orphans' fund, which was the object of your effort, therefore request that you will at an early date reproduce the play of "Damon and Pythias," feeling assured that our generous citizens will respond more liberally for such a worthy object. Signed by over a hundred citizens. To Messrs. .7. A. Fulton, (J. H. Cooper, A. J. 3fegler,J. F. Ilallor g, JL C.Thompson and ethers: Gentlemen-; Your kind invitation has been received, and the members of tho Dramatic Association feel grate ful to yon for the complimentary men tion of our efforts to please and still more thankful are we for your suggestion of a reproduction of the entertainment that a liberal sum may bo realized for the "Widows and Orphans 1 uud." In accordance therewith, we take pleasure in inform ing you and the general public that on Saturday evening, May 3d, we will at tho opera house reproduce the drama of "Damon and Pythias," and that the price of admission will be twenty-five cents only, or fifty cents for reserved seats, and as wo give our time and attention to this benevolent object, we sincerely hope the public generally will respond lib erally, that a sufficient sum may be realized to relievo tho distresses of those who have been deprived of their protectors and providers, and thus practically exemplify the grand vir tue of fraternity so nobly taught by Damon aud Pythias.

Portland, April 2D. Early this morning a shooting scrape occurred atDanby, a small fishing station about 45 miles from here on the Oregon side of the Columbia river between union and non-union fishermen in which two men were dangerougly shot It is known that a party of union fisher men came last night to Danby from Astoria and rumors were rife yester day that in case the two crowds came together somebody woud get hurt This is doubtless meant forKalama. The names of the three wounded men are Jim Wilson, H. Olson, and Jack Hamman. Ed. Astorian. A FURTHER ACCOUNT. Portland, April 29. Capt Shaver, of the steamer Manzanillo, says re garding ihe trouble on the Columbia, that all the non-union men below Wood's Landing have quit fishing, owing to murderous demonstrations made bv members of the Columbia River Fishermen's Protective Union. The night before last a party of union men fired fourteen shots; fortunately no one was killed. The steamer Telephone brought up tho wounded men this afternoon. One was shot through the abdomen; he will die. The others were shot three times through the leg. Roth were removed to St Vincent's hospital. The officers of tho steamer passed a number of boats contiiniug fishermen a few miles below the scene of the shooting. In one boat were three men who were either wounded or dead. The shooting was all done by non union men, who were in an old stranded boat house, from cover of which they fired upon the fleet of un ionists with Winchester rifles. Tho greatest excitement prevails in the vicinity of the shooting and along the river. More bloodshed is antici pated. The cause of all the trouble is that the canneries where the shoot ing was done are all filled aud now have more fish than they cau handle. The fishermen are endeavoring to form a trust and force the cannery men to pay their price for what they buy. The union demands S1.2o per fish, and non-union men are now fur nishing fish for 3 cents per pound or about 75 cents a fish. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS, APRIL 29.

Thesealiug schooner Bessie Jlutter, which recently put in for provisions, eta, and again sailed, returned last evening with a wounded member of the crew who was at once removed to St Mary's hospital. The circumstances arc as follews: At 5.30 last Sunday morning, the Jiessie Rutter being about 120 miles off the mouth of the Columbia river, the captain, Henry Olsen, ordered all hands on deck to make sail. One of the crew, Wm. Stevens, grew abusive, refused to turn out and heaped foul epithets on the captain. Capt Olsen went aft, and taking a gun such as they use to shoot seals with, laid it across the poop and started in to wash his hands. Stevens turned out, ate his breakfast, and then started aft, again abusing Oisen. He advanced, as he says, to get the gun. Olsen warned bun that if he made any hostile demonstrations he would" shoot Stevens advanced threateningly, when Olsen shot, the contents of the gun striking Stevens in the groin and pelvis inflicting a horrible wound. Sail was made with all haste for Astoria. Tho man's condition is des perate and it is not considered at all probable that he can recover. Capt Olsen was arrested by Chief Rarry last evening. He feels dread fully, at having such a quarrel forced onto him. The crew say that Stevens was no good, and that he was making trouble all the time.
