BLAINE'S OPINION
On Prov isien of the Tariff Bill.
Special to The Astokian.
Augusta, Me., June 17. Ex-mayor
Cony has received a letter from secre
tary Blaine, in whiclx be says: "You
are in error in supposing that I am
opposed to sugar being admitted free
of duty. My objection was not to
free sugar, "but to the proposed
method of making it free. If in the
pending tariff bill sugar is placed upon
the free list we give to certain
countries a free market for 893,000,000
worth of their products, while they are
not asked to open their market to the
free admission of a single dollar of
American products. "We ought to
have in exchange for the privilege of
free sugar, from foreign countries,
a free market for breadstufls
and provisions, besides the products
from various parts of our country; in
short, we ought to secure in return
for free sugar, a market for 5lb,uuu,uuu
worth of our own products. It will
not jequire reciprocity treaties to pro
vide this. The tariff bill can contain
all the necessary conditions. Legis
lative power is able to secure tho de
sired end. Within the last twenty
years we have given countries south
of us free admission for nearly $60,
000,000 worth of their products with
out receiving a penny's worth of ad
vantage in exchange. -If sngar be now
made free we shall have given to the
Latin-American countries free ad
mission for $130,000,000 worth of their
products. It is time, I think to look
out for some reciprocal advantages.

enough to trade on this unequal basis.

gesting editorially that it is doubtful
whether silver will rise under the leg
islation proposed. It says: "The com
pulsory purchase of a fixed amount or
value of silver each month by the
treasury is in the highest degree, cal
culated to depress the price, because
the treasury is under obligation to
buy where it can buy cheapest., and
the world's supply can only be ex
hausted when all the surplus silver in

RAILROAD HATTERS,
Interesting Points in Reference to
tiie Situation.
WHAT WM. REID HAS TO SAY.
Tire Astorian jesterday morning
contained the only true account of the
inspection trip of William Reid and
W. H. Whipple over the projected and
completed portions of the Astoria and
South Coast railway, published with
the usual regard to correctness, which
characterizes this journal.
There are other matters in connec
tion with the railroad situation which
have never yet been published, and
were obtaiued from Mr. Reid on Mon
day night, showing the inner work
ings, and consequently throwing con
siderable light upon the situation,
accounting in a measure for the delay
which has characterized the movement
and which even now appears to be a
temporary bar to present progress.
Mr. Keid's statement was substan
tially as follews:
When Huntington was meeting the
Astoria delegation in Portland on the
30th of April he had an idea he
could get a subsidy of $300,000, and
was intending to demand that
amount He was informed by Beid
that $150,000 was as much as could
be obtained, but positively refnsed to
think of any proposition based on that
small amount, and reluctautly agreed
to demand only $200,000.
When he found that amount had
been raised in tweuty-fonr hours, he
was evidently vexed that he had not
set higher figures, and it is very
likely now that he hopes by delay,
that at least $150,000 more will be
raised as an inducement for him to
nnsh the work.
Astoria needs a railroad, and must
have it soon, and it begins to look as
if the surest way to reap the best ad
vantages is to try and secure the con
struction of an independent line.
Said Mr. Reid: "I think the bonds
can be floated at from 85 to 90 cents
on the dollar, and I believe this syn
dicate which Mr. Whipple represents
wdl take them. If they do, 1 shall
push the road ahead as rapidly as
possible. I don't think Huntington
will mako any move at present: for he
even wants me to hold back, so that
he can have your people raise another
sum, of $150,000 or $175,000 more.
"If you have an independent line to
Portland, yon then connect with the
Southern, the Northern and the Union
Pacific, and that would be far better
thau to be dependent upon one com
pany only, a3 yon would bo if Hunt
ington built the lino for the Southern
Pacific.
"Only a short time age a prominent
Portland man said to me:
"'Reid, what makes you work so for
that Astoria railroad? Don't you
know that you, as a Portland onan,
should not do it, for as soon as that
is built we loso the grain trade of the
Willamette valley aud it will go to As
toria?' "I told him 1 thought it would take
one quarter of the grain trade away
irom iroriiauu, out ouierwise it wouiu
help Portland, but he replied:
" It would take it all away, for nine
tentlis of the grain would go to As
toria for shipment by foreign vessels
and the other one-tenth would be
ground into flour and sent to Port
land people to eat.' "
"Now why do you Astoria people
confine yonr offer to one line? Why
not hold up that $200,000 subsidy and
say Uiat it is for the first railroad
which will bnild here. You see Hunt
ington has a claim now aud is in no
hurry, for he wants jou to offer him
mora"
Said the reporter "Do you think
that the recent action of Yanderbilt
in getting a through line across the
continent and coming in over these
three roads to this coast will tend to
unite them, and prevent competition
between them?"
Mr. Reid replied: "Certainly I do,
and that is just why they nave all
been holding back, for that deal has
long been pending, and that is the
very reason why tho TJ. P. and the S.
P.- are neither of them in a hurry to
come here. But if you can get an in
dependent line, then they will all be
glad to get in here, and Astoria will
grow with wonderful rapidity.
"Let mo tell you a fact which many
people do not know. Whenlwa3in
New York I sent a oircular letter to
every shipping firm which had ever
had a vessel bring a cargo to or from
the Columbia river, asking them if
they would freight to or from Astoria
one dollar per ton cheaper than to or
from Portland, and every one said,
they would if there was a railroad at
Astoria so they could connect with it
Now you see no railroad company is
very anxious to come to Astoria, for
they now handle the grain at Portland,
but just as soon as you have a rail
road there, leading to the Willamette
valley then theTJ. P., S. P. and North
ern will quickly bnild there. So you
see it is for Astoria to make a
strong effort to build a line. Whether
they help me or not, I shall complete
this road, and then they will always
have kindly feelings for me. I have
started to build the road, have invested-
my money in it, and I am
bound to succeed."

The Astobiax most cordially hopes
Mr. Keid will be successful in his un
dertaking, and he certainly is posted
in railroad matters, and is possessed
of indomitable pluck and energy, es
sential requisites for carrying out his
intentions. Time will show how cor

Herman Wise asks these bravo men
to call at his place of business and get
a $5 hat each as a small token of his

Light The Bell Tower.
The attention of the chief engineer
of the Astoria fire department, or the
proper person in authority, is called to
the fact that the bell tower is without
a light, and that any person obliged
to give a fire alarm must grope aronnd
in the dark with great difficulty, be
fore he can find the bell rope. This is
a little matter but should be at
tended to at once.
There is some betting on the out

A DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
Narrow Escape Froi an Extensive
Conflagration.
G001 WORK HY THE JPIREMES.
At twenty minutes before twelve
o'clock last night two or three strokes
of the fire Ijell were sounded, and a
hasty ruu up Third street showed that
one of the buildings on the south side
of the street, between Olney and West
Ninth, was on fire.
No flames could be seen, but huge
volumes of dense, black smoke were
pouring out of the front of the build
ing, showing that the interior was all
ou fire, which soon burst out over the
street, and indicated that it was well
under way and would be hard to ex
tinguish. The fire department responded
promptly, but as Third street was
torn up, No. 2 had to drive aronnd on
Fourth street and down on West
Ninth to Third. Owing to the penur
ionsness of the city, in having no
horses for No. 1, and the fact that but
a shght alarm wa3 given at hrst,it was
several minnte3 beforo she arrived,
and took position at the foot of Olney
street.
Seven minutes from the time the
alarm was given, No. 2 had a stream
on, and. iNo. J was ueiajetl several
minutes in consequence of the suction
pipe being out of order.
A strong wind was blowing from
the southeast and at one time it
looked as if the two new blocks oppo
site were doomed. Only for the rain
of the past two days, they would
probably have ignited. The fire
bnrned fiercely and linug on with
wonderful tenacity, considering the
fact that the rain was pouring down
and both steamers were playing on
the flames.
It was impossible to save the build
ing, which was almost entirely con
sumed, but the boys by hard work
prevented the other bnildings from
being destroyed.
It was a one story frame building,
worth about $2,600, owned by J. H.
Mansell and insured for $1,500. The
occupants were McGowan Bros. &
Tuttle, real estate, loss $500, covered
by insurance; Warren & Wright, real
estate, loss about $350, no insurance:
Morgan Sc Co. boots and shoes, loss
nearly Si,000, insurance very light.
Will Warren had two bicycles dam
aged and lost some of his clothing.
Ed. Wright, assessor, saved the city
assessment rolls, damaged somewhat
The origin of the fire i3 a mystery,
but is believed to be the work of an
incendiary, as whistles or signals, were
heard just before the lire was dis
covered in rear of the shoo store, and
two men were seon hastening away.
The firemen all did well, and some
of them stood in the street almost
suffocated with smoke and nearly
scorched by the flames, holding the
nozzle, waiting for the water to come
through the hose. Herman Wise also
saw them, and will give a five-dollar
hat to each one.
SOME SALMON STATEMENTS.
Remarks Liable and Reliable Ftom San
Francico.
Somebody in Astoria has written a
letter to an eastern journal advising
buyers of salmon in tho New York
market to wait until the first of
August "when they can buy all tho
Columbia river salmon they want at
$1.20 if not less." Whoever tho
writer, he might have put in a saving
"perhaps" somewhere in his advice to
the eastern "dealer. He is right when
he says that along. abont August 1st,
the canuers must have money, but
there is nothing new in that. When
the season is over and the pack is
made the canners always want money,
but they seldom need it as bad as the
bear correspondent would have the
eastern dealers believe. The salmon
market takes queer freaks. It is just
possible that the present season ha3 a
big surprise in store for all the trade.
Everybody seems to bo against sal
mon. Not one man m ten has any
faith in fish and the situation is just
right for lively speculative trading
and a big surprise all around.
Salmon packers and large dealers
begin to talk in a hopeful strain of an
active market. Coming events cast
their shadows before them. The sal
mon packing industry sees a largo-
sized shadow covering the speculative
traders and the hosts of timid opera
tors who have been waiting for rock
bottom prices. Day after day the
wires have been hot with advices from
the cast to the effect that "we could
place carloads of salmon at
per dozen." There has generally beeu
no limit on the carloads, but choice
packs always have been asked for, and
the prices faxed have ranged all the
way from $1 to 80 cents.
Tne canners nave answered as a
rule: "Could you now, well so could
we, but Wb won't do it." There have
been more fishing by eastern dealers
and operators than ever before, but
the canners of theFacihc coast are
not playing buyers and sellers both

their own prices, but the packers
claim the upper hands and the situa
tion is certainly shaping in their
favor.
A great deal depends on the result
on the Columbia river. Should the
pack be as light there as is anticipated,
prices will be advanced far beyond the
ideas of the conservatives who now are
waiting for a market at unusually low
prices. Alaska brands, which already
have become quite popular, will be in
big demand, and it would not be sur
prising it at the end, tne pack
of 1890 is moved rapidly and
easily at remunerative prices. There
area number of. well posted packers
who say that the Columbia river will
not pack to exceed 100,000 cases this
season. "We havo advices that the
canneries on the lower Columbia are
closed on account of the high prices
demanded for fish, and that up the
river canneries will follow suit, a3 the
season i3 regarded as predestined to
result in disappointment. All the
latest information from the river tends
to confirm the gloomy anticipations
of the packers. Should the half prove
true a booming speculative market
will be established.
There is very little trading at
present but packing ideas generally
are about $1.35 on the river for Co
lumbia brands, $1.10 for Alaska and
S1.10 for spring Sacramento.
The shipments of salmon from this
port by sea during last month were
13,486 cases, valued at $73,042. The
total shipments for the past five
months have been 119,783 cases of the
value or S658,950.

"I owe my deliverance, 'first to
Almighty God, and second to Jamm
G.Blaine, our invincible secretary of
state."
This statement was made by EL
Kempinsky, a Russian American citi
zen, who arrived in New York a fair
days ago on the steamer Augusta
from Hamburg, after having spent
thirteen months in a Russian jafl.
Continuing his story Mr. Kempinaky
said:
"I was born in Konin, Russian Po
land, thirty-seven years ago. Wham
17 years of age I came to tma country
without getting a passport or serving
my time in the Russian army. I west
to Bridgeport, Conn., where I opened
ageneral business and made money.
I married and have two children. Two
years ago I thought I would return to
my native land to see my parent.
-l arrived there, saw them and waa
happy. I made up my mind to come
home, and, just before starting, waa
inning wiui a inena, wnen x was ap
proached by a policeman, who took ma
to the prison at Kalisch, of which a
man by the name of Dobnziski waa
governor. This was on December 34.
1888.
"Immediately on my imprisonaMBit
my wife went to St Petersburg aad
petitioned for my release. The csar
would do nothing. Her next visit
was to the American consul Wurta:
He was very polite, and said: I will
get your husband out in three weeks,'
but nothing was heard from him.
"During this time I had been getting:
very bad food in the jafl. I waa put
in a little 5x12 dungeon, under
ground, and served with the rankest
food. My wife asked if she could not
send me my meals, and was told -yea ;
if she would -consult' tiie official.
She then commenced to pay $50 pec.
month for the privilege of sending,
food to me. Whenever she came to
see me she had to put up $25, and, for
the sake of sending me a bed, was- -charged
$25.
"A friend of mine named Schwartz
was just about coming to this country, .
and he volunteered to lay the mattac
before secretary Bayard. A great deal
of correspondence resulted, withoat
any result for me. Schwartz retailed
to St. Petersburg, and a few monfiba
ago came back to this country. Ha
then laid the matter before JamaaG.
Blaine, who immediately telegraphed
to consul Wurtz that, as I waa aa
American citizen, I must be released
at once or that Wurtz must ask his
passport and leave the country.
"As soon as the telegram waa laid
before the czar he ordered the pro
curator of the prison to release mm.
The procurator came to the jail at 8
o'clock on the morning of January 24,
1890, and asked one of the guards to,
show me in. I was addressed aa Mr.
Kempinsky, treated very courteously
and told I was liberated.
They sent a man with me to show
me the way to town. When I arrived
there there was great rejoicing, and I
thought I would be killed with the ex
citement. I am now going to try and
recoverthe $10,000 which it cost xaa
while I was kept there. For that par
pose I will pay a visit to' secretary
Blaine in person."
