Washington, Sept. 2L Some of the
Dftnoer its of the IIouso aro seriously
ilitciisnu: tho wisdom of filibustering
Hg:iiiibi. the tariff bill, probably -with
i ho success which croxraed their efforts

Their purpo&o is to force the Kjpubli
cans to keep a quorum here. The ad
vantage they hope to gain is that there
is quite a number of Republicans from
close districts and so close that they can
scarcely be carried unless tho candi
date himself is actively in the field
and to keop him hero in Washington
to make a quorum doubles the chances
of his defeat Only sucb Democrats
are to be left here whoso districts are
unquestionably safe, so that tho
doubtful districts can be carried by
those who go away. It is a very pretty
plan, and the Democrats will decide
to-night whether to adopt it or not.
As a matter of fact most of them
would rather let tho tariff bill go
through and adjourn.

Special to The Astoriax.1
Sah Francisco, Sept 24. The seal
ing schooner Mattie F. Dyer arrived
from Sitka, Alaska, this morning. On
tho 18th of June last the Dyer ran into
Ounalaaka in distress. She had been
caught in a south-southeast gale, and
sprung her bowsprit. ..
Nineteen hours after the schooner
had cast anchor Deputy Collector Em
mons, of Ounalaska, went on board
and seized her on account of alleged
illegal fishing in Behring sea.
The schooner was sent to Sitka,
where, on August 16th., the case came
up before the district court.
As soon as it was called, the United
States district attorney asked to have it
dismissed, as there were no grounds for
tho charge. In the meantime, however,
the schooner had been tied up for nine
weeks, her sails had rotted, and the
beach combers had used her boats and
ruined half of them. An offer of com
pensation was mado to the captain,
but he refused to accept it Captain
M. Oekler is owner of tho Dyer, nnd
as soon as ho gets things squared up
he is going to bring suit against tho
United States government for heavy
