People of Astoria ON SALE AT : Clothing : lOFi v ttJfflft THE RAILROAD SITUATION. It is Deciieflly Mixed ani Does Not Appear Farorable. RUT IT STAT COM.EO VT STRAIGHT It is barely possible that one or two persons inside the ring may have clear ideas as to the outcome of affairs in reference to the future con dition of the Astoria and South Coast railroad, but certainly there are few who dare hazard an opinion on the subject A contract has been received from the English syndicate in London which has been drawn up by them, or by their dictation, and is sent here to be signed by L W. Case and Judge C. H. Page, the members of the finance committee of the board of directors. The terms of the contract, however, are such that Judge Page will not sign it, and it is not at all likely that Mr. Case will not sign it when he returns to the city on the fifth of next month, for it requires entirely too much. The terms of the contract lequire the directors to guarantee a subsidy of 250,000 to the syndicate to insure the payment of the interest on the bonds at G per cent per annum. When this is signed and sent them, they will immediately canso to bo placed in tho bauds of I. W. Case, as trustee, the sum of $200, 000, which is to bo used in oxtending the lino of tho road towards Hillsboro. 'When the amount of road is done which that sum will build, more stock can be issued to the Construction com pauy, and this can bo h5pothecated to raise more monoy which the syndicato will advance. In addition to this, the Astoria di rectors and citizens, who have invest ed 8100,000 in stock, and which money has paid for the completed portion of tho road to Seaside, are required to turn over all their stock, or in fact lo ivo up everything which has cost them so dearly, and will thus be en tirely shut out of the company as well :ih the directory. It is needless to say that so far as heard from, they do not take very kindly to such a proiosi tion. Yesterday tho claims against the Pa cific Construction company which had leeu brought by C. J. Curtis for W. IL liaiu and by Fulton Bros, for other parties were settled by endorsed notes at iiinety days, which are undoubtedly good, aud the attachments wero re loused. Immediately afterward, how ever, Sheriff Smith levied upon tho proiwrly, under an execution issued Sept 3d on a judgment obtained in the Circuit Court Juno 17th, in favor of II. L. Tarbet for the sum of 331.19 aud $27.70 costs, making 358.89 and additional costs which will accrue, and mufct je settled before the property will be clear, and the bonds available for transfer. Tho sheriff advertises to nell tho property under this levy, on the 6th of October. Thus stands the matter, and no de finite surmise of the result can well bo announced. Mr. Eeid really wants all that Huntington wanted, and 50,- 06000000 o,s"o" OF 1 : : I 1 : j 1 a I a a a I : I Palace 000 more, for he wants a subsidy of $250,000 assured. This tho directors cannot contract to give for they have it not, and if it is raised, it mu3t be contributed or pledged by the people, the same as was done at the time the Huntington subsidy wo? promised last May. Some may object lo raise it for Mr. Eeid, and probably it would be much harder to raise it for him than for Mr. Huntington, as the latter is the presi dent of an immense corporation, of which this road would at once become a part and parcel on its completion. The annual meeting of the stock holders of tho road is to be held on the 9th of October, and apparently tho directors have omitted, to publish a notice of it At that meeting occurs the election of the board of directors for the ensuing year, and as to who shall be elected is an important matter for the stockholders to decide. "Whoever will build a railroad from here to a connection with established transcontinental lines is in one respect a matter of indifference to Astoria, for the result is the same, a connection with a through road, let our choice be as it may. That some means may be devised to accomplish the desired re sult is a consummation devoutly to be wished. For the First Time. Yesterday at four o'clock,, the cur rent was turned on, and for tho first time in the history of Astoria incan descent lights wero. burning. As old Sol was still at work at that hour the quality of the new light could not well bo ascertained. At 7 o'clock in tho evening the lights were again started and kept in operation some twenty minutes. At first they wero not in full power and several peoplo appeared dissatis fied, but suddenly tho brilliancy increased, as more power was turned on, and all were delighted at tho ele gant smoothness of the light produced. To those who are familiar with in candescent lights it was no novelty, but as most of the people here had not been accustomed to them, they presented an interesting appearance. Tho quality of tho light was excel lent and tho eighteen lamps in this office made The Astokiak rooms quite brilliantly illuminated. In a night or two tho electric company will commence regular services, aud all will bo glad. Those who havo not. yet had tho lamps put in should order them at once, for they will be sure to bo pleased with tho light, and Trnllinger & Co. are to be congratu lated on their energy in adding tho iucaudoscent system to tfieir former plant, the arc light.

Yesterday several of the canners re ceived telegrams from Armour & Ca, of Chicago, as follews: Please telegraph immediately to your senators and congressmen, urging their efforts for free tin plate for canning pur poses. Have other canners in yonr city do the same to-day Bure. The canners were all advised, .and yesterday afternoon a special meeting of the Chamber of Commerce was held. In the absence ot President Bowlby, U amuel iulmore was called to the chair. Secretary Holden was present The-telegram above mentioned was read, and after a discussion of the subject by the members present, it was on motion voted that the secre tary telegraph to our senators and representatives, requesting them to use every effort to prevent any in crease on the duty on tin plate for canning purposes. The statement was made by ono of the canners that the proposed duty on tin plate would make a difference of from 75,000 to $100,000 a year to the canners of the Columbia river. Each canner present also agreed to send a telegram to "Washington to tho representatives from Oregon and Washington, urging their prompt ac tion in endeavoring to have tin plates on the free list for cannery purposes.

WILL .ALSO INTEE0EPT CHINESE A Great Activity in Opium Smuggling Is Expected This Pall From Van couver and Victoria. Special by TheUNrrED Thess. Sak JTkangisco, Sept 26. A special from Washington this morning says the Treasury Department tries very hard to maintain secrecy regarding the mission and destination of the United States revenue cutter Wolcott, which will sail from Port Townsend Washington, in a day or two with sealed orders, but notwithstanding all evasions, the truth is known about the WoJcotVs mission. When, she sails from Port TownRnnd it will be to accomplish three great purpurea, auciueniauysne wiuiooKior seal poachers and arrest any poachers that may cross her course." She will also endeavor to intercept opium smugglers near tho United States border aud will look out for- tho threatened influx of Chinameu now returning from tho canneries in Brit ish Columbia who will endeavor to slip into the United States. A communication was recently re ceived from the chief of the special agents, stating that several hundred Chinamen now employed in the can neries at Sitka, Juneau and other points in Alaska aud British Colum bia, will come southward early in Oc tober, when the canning season i3 over, and a great many will doubtless make an effort to cross the border into tho United States. It is to prevent this influx that tho Wolcott is ordored north. Tho department has also received a warning from its special agents that an unusual activity may bo expected among the opinm smngglers before the winter season sets in. Something like $25,000 worth of crude opium is landed overy week at Vaucouver and Victoria. It is a fact known to the treasury department that 90 per cent of the opium brought to these two cities is smuggled into tho United States. Lato in tho fnll efforts aro made to put large stocks across tho border to last during the winter, as smuggling then is attended with great danger and difficulty. It is known to the department, too, that several hundred Chinamen have been landed at Victorin in tho past few weeks. Otway, tho English dramatist, died prematurely, and through hunger.

Last evening at 9 o'olock, when only a small part of our press report had been received, the wires went down, and as all the offices between. this city and Portland close at 8, it : was impossible for Operator Urqnhart to locate the break. He remained at his post until 11 o'clock, then shut up the office for the night, and our read ers will find but few dispatches this morning in tho columns of The As toriax. At Last. The long expected illustrated His tory of Utah, by tho eminent historian, Hubert W. Bancroft, has at last ap peared. It.is absolutely a revelation. After visiting tho field in person, tak ing testimony impartially from all sides, critically revioving tho enor mous number of 1000 different author ities, and searching many of the secret archives of tho Mormon church, Mr. Bancroft now gives to the world this wonderful and remarkable work, the only true history of Mormonism pub lished. Tho work reads like a romance the wonderful adventures of trappers and travellers, the bloody' Indian wars, the thrilling accounts of massacres and miraculous escapes, the famous Danite Association or Destroying Angels, tho story of Brigham Young all this fresh from tho pen of tho brilliant and gifted author forms a narrative of ex citing interest as fascinating as a novel, yet trno to the letter. Above all in surpassing interest, is the un folding of tho great Mormon question and the mysteries of polygamy which will bo read with eager interest by all classes of peoplo throughout the En glish speaking world. The work is pnblished in ono largo handsome vol- .ume .of over 800 pages, bound in red and gold, and grandly illustrated with steel-plate portraits ot the great Mormon leaders, exquisite half-tone engravings and dazzling colored plates. It is issued by the great publishing house of tho Pacific coast, the History company of San" Francisco, and can only be procured through their -authorized agents.

LITTLE PALL FISH TO BEPA0EED, Prices Seem to Be Stiffening a Little, and the Outlook Seems to" Be Favorable to Holders. Special by Tho Uxitkd Press. San Fbanctsco, Sept 26. The Commercial News' to-day says: "Salmon is in better shape than for some time- past, although no material improvement is noted in prices. Some inquiries from England are reported, which looks as if tho tide had turned there also. "Alaska brands of established repu tation are wanted at 9o to 975, but holders are asking about 2 to 5 cents per dozen more, and there is reason to believe they will obtain their figures. There is undoubtedly a large pack in British Columbia, but that is moving off satisfactorily, for, beside tho requirements for England, at least 100,000 cases- have been sold for Australia and Eastern Canada, chiefly for the latter section, and it -is reported that upwards, of 60,000 cases havo already been shipped over the Canadian Pacific. But a small amount of Columbia river fish remains unsold and the outlook is that little' fall pack will be put up on the out side rivers. "As 175,000 cases were packed, last year, and those posted claim thatTiot to exceed 100,000 cases will bo packed this year, there is reason for the statements that last year's enormous output will be reduced. 9 'On tho other hand Alaska may still equal her large output of 1889, and if British Columbia exceeds her hist year's pack, as advices seem, to indicate, the shortage will not" bo sufficient to cut much figure in in fluencing prices."
