Washington, May 28. The railroad
commissioners of the various states
held a meeting to-day.,TndgeConley was
elecled chairman. The committee on
order of business reported the foil jw-
iii- subjects lor consitteratieu:
Railwav legislation, annual re
ports from carriers, uni
formity in railway accounting,
classifications or railway statistics,
classification of freights, railway con
stntctiou of slate regulations, reason
able rates and safety appliances for
railroad cars.
Mr. Crocker, from the committee on
uniformity of legislation at the last
meeting, 'submitted a report. He
pointed out that lack of uniformity in
legislation was duo to two causes:
First -Lack of harmony in United
States legislation, and that of states.
Second Lack of harmony between
legislation of the different states.
The report recommended that the
main feature of the inter-state law be
incorporated in the laws of states. It
was further poiuted ont that there
was a discrepancy between the rulings
of the United States and state courts
on railroad questions.
"While admitting the advantage of
entire control by congress of railroads
the report was of opinion that cougicss
in its present overburdened condition
could not undertake entire control.
lie thought, however, that practical
harmony in operating roads ought to
be secured, but that greater harmony
in the slate existing was desirable.
The report stated that the uniform law
in regard to heating and lighting cars
wa3 not, at this time, practicable.
A uniform law in regard to train
brakes, or as to engines with driving
wheel brakes and automatic car
coupling, should be adopted. The
requirement as to the habits of em
ployees and furnishings of cars with
safety appliances and a variety of
other details relative to railroad
management were recommended.

Favoring Irrigation.
Special to The Astoiuan
Washington, May 28. Vandever to
day introduced a bill on the irrigation
of arid lands, many parts of which,
agree with a bill presented by the
minority of the senate committee on
irrigation. It provides for the contin
uance of the irrigation survey, under
liowell, a seggregation of the irrigable
districts, etc
Districts are to be compact when
ever that is practicable and each will
include the catchment area upon which
it depends for its supply. States
and territories must enact laws to car
ry ont the purposes for which the dis
tricts are organized. Districts are to
elect live irrigation commissioners
each, as well jis a court and superin
tendents of forestry, pasturage and ir
rigation. Individuals can acquire onlv forty
acres of irrigable land under the
homestead law but coal, mineral and
townsite laws apply as heretofore in
the arid region.
Users of water must pay their
proper share of the cost of construct
ing irrigation works.
All dam, reservoirs and canal sites
remain in possession of the general
government Irrigation works can be
constructed, however, under regula
tions and law established by the com
missioners in accordance with
the laws of the state or territory in
which the district is located, if not in
contlict with this act All timber,
water and pasturage within the limits
of the irrigation districts is to bo set
apart for the benefit of the district,
and can only be used under the rales
and regulations as aforesaid.
Apropos of the irrigation matter,
Stewart to-day ofiered a resolution,
which was agreed to, calling on the
secretary of agriculture for informa
tion as to the use of artesian wells
and other water supplies from sub
terranian sources in irrigation.

IIIKICATION I'ROHI.K.M
ScuatorN Stewart, Vandever And
Powell at Variance.
Special to Thr Astorian.
Washington, May 28. The irriga
tion problem is beginning to assume
an interesting phase. Both a major
ity and minority say the committee
is at swords points on the matter, and
senator Stewart and Major Powell are
having ii regular little war, Stewart
having charged that Powell misap
plied the money appropriated
for irrigation surveys. The
latter had a long interview
in the Star to-night, in which he says:
"I am fighting against speculators and
to prevent monied sharks from gob
bling up irrigable land. These sharks
have misled certain honestly-disposed
senators."
He denies that he used money for
the geographic surveys, which should
have been applied to irrigation mat
ters, but senator Stewart thinks dif
ferently, and is anxious to see how
Teller will answer the resolution ask
ing for light on this issue.
Vandever, chairman of the house
committee on arid lands, to-day in
troduced a bill which is totally at
variance with his former views on
irrigation, according to Senator
Stewart
When a California Associated Press
agent showed Senator Stewart a copy
of Vaudever's bill, he said "why thi3 is
nothing more than the bill prepared
by Powell. I am surprised at Mr.
Vandever's action. Heretofore his
views have very nearly accorded with
mine, and ho has expressed himself in
favor of transferring the irrigation
matters to the agricultural de
partment, but Vandever has
gone over to the Powell crowd. The
resnlt of controversy and contention
will be this: there will be no irrigation
legislation passed this session; but at
any rate I am anxious to see what an
swer Secretary Noble will make to my
senate resolution.

PACIFIC COAST LINES.
To Consolidate Several Com

Nkw York-, May 28. -The Post says
this afternoon it is reported on the
street that the Canadian Pacific has
secured control of the Pacific Mail.
Undoubtedly the object of the Cana
dian Pacific road is to prevent the
consummation of a trade between the
Northern Pacitic and George Gould.
This may result in the establishment
of another steamship line. This is
deprecated by Oakes, who believes
the proper solution of the question
lies in the consolidating of the Pacific
Mail, Oriental and Occidental, and the
Canadian Pacific line, and a recogni
tion of Tacoma by a monthly or semi
monthly steamer to and from that
point
An arrangement of this kind would
give San Francisco, Tacoma and Van

PACIFIC ITf AIL. MEETING.
Succes of This Gigantic
Cor-
potion.
Special toTHK Astorian.
New York, May 23. The annual
meeting of the Pacific Mail occurred
to-day. The business of the Atlantic
and China Hues shows a falling off, in
comparison with last year, which is
more than offset by gains on the Pana
ma line, and a reduction in expenses,
so that net earnings exceed those of
last year by $155,000.
President Geo. J. Gonld in his re
port, says: "In January last I nego
tiated a contract with the Northern
Pacific railway company to run
monthly, a line between Tacoma and
Japan and China. More advantageous
dividends of revenue on the through
traffic, via Northern Pacific railway,
on the basis of last year's business
would have given the Pacific Mail
Steamship company $30,000 more net
revenue than it received, and the
lower price at which it could have
been at Tacoma, compared with what
we had in San Francisco, would have
saved an additional $30,000, making a
total saving to the company of S60,000.
''In addition to the above, the city
of Tacoma offered this company a title
to a valuable water front, if we would
maintain the line for one year. This
contract would have eliminated the
Northern Pacific sailing ships as com
petitors in the China trade. I regret
that certain railroad influences in our
board, prevented the confirmation of
that contract"
The following board of directors
were elected: C. P. Huntington, Henry
Hart, Isaac C. Gates, Calvin S. Brice,
Samuel Thomas, Oliver H. Payne,
Edward Lautorbach, Chas. W. McGee
and James B. Houston.
The total earnings were $-1,005,000;
expenses, $3,553,000; net earnings,
$310,000; cash assets, April 30th,
$073,000; liabilities $173,000.
At a meeting of the board of
directors, J. B. Houston was elected
president, and Edward L. Louter-
bach vice president Tho election of

"Daily Astorian" Wants Hii
to Lower u Record.
TELEGRAMS SEXT AND XE
' CEIVED.
Being convinced of tho advantage
ous location of Astoria, and its shorter
distance in the line of travel around
the globe, as compared with Tacoma,
and with a desire to benefit this city,
which has always been a prominent
characteristic of this journal, Thk
Daily Astorian sent yesterday morn
ing at 11 o'clock the following message
to George Francis Train, which, shows
for itself :
Astoria, May 28, 189.
Citizen Train, Tacoma, Wash.
The Daily Astorian. the furthest west
daily paper in the United States, at
nannnn'o annv-wt, nolffl i.ZU'wav ria? mill
he Jower his record around the world, ad
vertising Astoria.
J. F. Halloban & Co.
Proprietors Astobian.
The line was down in the afternoon,
but was up again at dark, and at 8:45
p. m. the following reply was received":
Tacoma, Wash., May 28, 1890.
To J. F. Halloran & Co.:
Yes. If Huntington, my old friend,
will start a steamship to China, say by
the 25th of next month, I will return in
50 days. Tacoma has gone back on me.
Act quick. Geo. Francis Tsain.
This is a grand opportunity for As
toria, and in connection with tiie wide
publicity received by the fact that
Huntington has agreed to build the
Southern Pacific railroad to this city,
will do much to advance the interests
of Astoria, and give the greatest pos
sible amount of advertising that will
be worth millions. In comparison to
the benefits to the city, the cost of the
trip will be but trifling.
Steps will be taken at once to ascer
tain full particulars and see what
definite arrangements can be made to
send Train around the globe in the
quickest time ever yet made.
ASTORIA GIRLS AHEAD.
They Stand Among the Highest Is
Their Class.
Among the graduating class of six
teen young ladies at Snell's seminary
at Oakland, last Thursday evening,
were three from Astoria Miss Alice
Wood, Miss Maude Warren and Miss
Ethel Merryman. The latter at pres
ent resides at Hillsboro, but was form
erly of this city. "
Miss Wood's essay was on "The
English Language." Miss Warren dis
coursed on "Peculiar People," and
Miss Merryman's topic was "Villains
of Literature."
The exercises were held in the First
Congregational ohurch and the large
edifice was entirely inadequate to ac
commodate the immense throng of
spectators, who filled every available
foot of standing room. Flowers is
profusion were tastily arranged, while
bamboo stalks, fan palms and ferns
added to the beauty of the scene.
Some of the latest and best musical
selections were presented, and in con
nection with the reading of each essay
by its fair author, formed a programme
of unusual excellence, musical taste
and literary ability.
