Complete Account of tie Railroad Situation. WILLIAM HELD AND THE BONDS Directora Kinney and Fulton Ecturn From Fortland, Pleased With the Outlook. Never at any period has there been such exceedingly favorable circum stances in referenco to floating the bonds of the Astoria and South Coast railroad, with assurances of success than at the present time. Yesterday morning Vice-President Alf. Kinney and Senator C. W. Fulton, "two of the directors of the company, returned from Portland, each with an almost positive conviction of the speedy sale of tho bonds, the cir cumstances being as follews: Tho gentlemen above named brought down with them all the letters and ca blegrams which William Eeid had during several montln received from tho London agent and banker, aud from responsible firms abont whom letters of inquiry had been addressed as to tho financial condition and stand ing oft tho banker and byudicato who proposed to handlo the bonds. Tho enliro amount of $3,000,000 in bonds will be taken by an English banker at a discount of 20 per cent, which would bo a margin of 6600,000, leaving tho net sum of 02,400,000 which tho road would receive. On tho entire face of the bonds the road must pay C per cent interest or $180,000 per an num, but payable only as fast as the bonds are cashed. Sixteen miles of road are completed now, and when thirty miles are fin ished, or fourteen moro than at pres ent, the banker will put up tho cash for 250,000 worth of bonds, which will be -$200,000, and can be used by the company in paying for tho work. When twenty miles more of road are built, or fifty in all, 8500,000 in bonds will be cashed at 400,000, and there after as each additional tea miles shall bo completed, 250,000 in bonds will bo cashed at the regular rate of 80 cents on the dollar, and a similar sum for every ten miles of completed road thereafter, until tho whole road is fin ished, and at the completion of the line tho balance of the 3,000,000 in bonds, not already cashed, will be taken and paid for at tho usual rate of dis count As a guarantee of good faith on the part of the banker, as soon as ho hears favorably from the engineer, he is to deposit in trust 200,000 for the first installment of 250,000 worth of tho bonds, to bo paid over to the com pany when the 30 miles shall bo com pleted as stated. The contract specifying the above conditions also requires the company to pay 5,000; or 25,000, towards tho expenses and salary of a first class en gineer, who will be sent over from .London to examine and verify the surveys, grades and route as made by Mr. Cooper, the very competent sur veyor who did tho work. So confi dent, however, is Mr. Cooper, that the work has been done in such manner as shall be acceptable to the very best engineer that they may send, that ha assures the directors there will be no doubt of the survey beiug approved. Yesterday a mectiugof tho directors was held, and all the correspondence and cablegrams alluded to were shown to them, after which they voted unanimously to except the contract, and authorized Judge C. H. Page and LW. Case, the finance committee of the directory, to sign the contract Other information corroborating tho above was also placed before them, of which The Astobjax is fully informed, but for good and prudential reasons, the information is withheld at present The principal reason for tlm tem porary silenco is the fact that it re lates to two very prommeut and wealthy gentlemen of Portland, one of whom is a successful contractor aud the other a wealthy bank presi dent of one of Portland's strongest fiduciary institutions. As before stated that contract was yesterday signed and went lo Port land last night A telegram convey ing tho news of the Bigning of the con tract, was yesterday sent to Portlnnd, aud from there to the banker and agent in London. Within three days after the reception of the latter tele gram, n competent engineer will start for Astoria, and will probably be hero in about threo weeks, or possibly a day or two sooner. When ho arrives ho will at once go over tho completed and uncompleted lino of the road, and form his opinion based on his best judgment of the work and plans, nnd this Avill take him from one lo two weeks. As soon as ho has satisfied himself that the whole thing is as represented, ho tele graphs to his principal, and the first installment of cash for iho first lot of bonds is deposited iu trust, as before stated. At tho same time ho approves the line, tho Pacific Construction company, which will then bo reorganized as above, by the addition of new and wealthy men, will begin work in earn est and push it ahead as rapidly as tho weather will permit Arrange ments have been mado by which a Portland bank will be enabled to guarantee the paymont of the interest on the bonds as fast as they are cashed. A distance of a little over Wen miles has already been jjraded from the Y near Clatsop towards Hillsboro, and from the latter place towards the Y about the same distance is already graded. A gang of1 Chinamen, as mentioned in yesterday morning's AsToaiAK, copied from tlifc Oregontan, has already been sent to Bullsboro and will repnir any damage which may have happened to tho grade in tho many months wliich have elapsed Binca it was made. Tho seven miles of grade at this end will also be examined and re paired if necessary. At Warrenton and Skipanon, there are several thousand ties piled up along the track, which will reach quite a distance from tho Y towards Hillsboro, and the work of laying which will be commenced as soon as the London engineer approves the lino and cables the fact to England. One very important mattei con nected with the work is the construction of a bridge across from the end of the incline on Young's bay to Smith's point and the completion of the road Uito this city, which it is proposed to have finished in time for the summer travel to Seaside next year. The forty carloads of rails which havfl been occasionally alluded to in the last few days as ready to bo sent over the railroads from the East, are now explained and understood. William Peid had mado an inquirv of the mills in Pennsylvania as to the I cost otiorty canoaus or. nuis, ana naa a conditional arrangement to telegraph for them when needed. Ho had a similar understanding with railroads to bring the rails when wanted, but they have not definitely been ordered. They can be, howover,any day. The annual meeting of tho stock holders, called for October 11th, can not bo postponed by the directors, but at that meeting a committee of prom iueut shareholders will probably be chosen, to whom the directors will i show the entire correspondence audi papers rererreu to, and if in their judgment straight aud satisfactory, they will probably recommend an adjournment of the anual meeting for thirty or forty dajs, or until the en- very fortunate in findimr a nnrchafcor for the bonds, especially when it iV known that for many mouths first- class railroad bonds from this country, havo been awaiting purchasers iu London. Those of the directory or company who do not exactly admire all of Mr. Eeid's plans and movements are now disposed to allow tho busi ness to take the conrso he has marked out as it will bo but 30 or 10 dns before it will be known if the resultis successful, hence the meeting of stock holders to elect new directors should be adjourned. Still another favorablo point in the case is the fact that Jim Hill, the president of the Great Northern, re cently negot'ated asale of 5,000,000 in bonds with the very Eanio banker who proposes to handle the bonds of the Astoria and South Coast railroad, and he it was who gave Ilced the name of the banker. Possibly Hill might havo had in contemplation tho purchase of this road at a later day, and hence was willing to do all in his power i j help leid to any information which would aid in its construction at pres ent The distance from the Y to Hills boro is eighty-two miles, and as four teen miles of- thnt distance h:is been graded, seven at each end, it leaves but fcixty-eight miles to grade to reach that city, which is a station on the Sonthcrn Paoific. One thing more shonld be stated, and that is that a subsidy of 200,000 is required, or, rather, it is necessary thnt such an amount should be guar anteed, lo secure the Portland bank in guaranteeing the payment of interest on the bonds, the money to remain pledged until the road is completed, when the business of it will probably pay the interest easily. Tue Astoioax is avoII awaro that plausible schemes have appeared be fore, that our people have many times had their hopes raised only to bo af terwards disappointed, but tho com plete facts are given above, and even tlio most skeptical will admit that tho outlook is remarkably favorable. The benofits thnt will accrue to the city on the completion of the road are tod ob vious to be stated, or they are appar rent to (he most casual observer. IN ON ROOM). The Champion Kan tain -AVcijjlit Knocked Out. Special ioTjibAstoriax. New Yobk, Oct 8.

A TJuited Press correspondent to-day called upon Jay Gould to obtain his views on tho prob able effect on the business of the Pa cific coast from competition from the Canadian Pacific railway. "I havo no interests on the Pacific coast" said M"r. Gould. "The Caua- ,i?n rnmfm T iwiinm hc rct-.iii;cimi ,- . . ," .

'"Have you iu contemplation tho ac quirement of a Imc tcrthc Pacific coast, or tho extensiou?of your roads iu that district?" asked the corre spondent "No," replied Mr. Gould, "I think I have all the railroads 1 caru to man age." It was evidcut from Mr. Gould's manner that ho had no railrotfd inter est on the slope, aud that he paid little attention to what was going on iu the fsir west Tho correspondent then went to the Mills building, where he saw C. P. Huntingten: Mr. Huntington was asked what inroads tho Canadian P4 cific people were making on tho trans portation lines of tho country. "Tho Canadian Pacific," said he, ''nfFectj all the railroads iu the United States to a considerable extent It is maintained by tho Canadian govern ment, and by ofleriug a large rebato to shippers, it takes business away from tho American roads, roads which arc prevented from meeting it in thi3 style of competition "by tho in terstate commerco law. "Whilo small shipments would go by tho American roads under any circumstances, owing to tho.small dif ference of rates, many large shipments aroapE to bo sent by tho Canadian Pacific oil account "Is the competition of tho Canadian Pacific likely to work any serious in jury to American ports on the Pacific coast?" asked the correspondent. "Portland wiir bo affected to a con siderable extent by reason of its proximity to the terminus of the Canadian Pacific," replied Mr, Hunt ington. "The business of Sau Fran cisco, however, can never be affected. It is the great port of the Pacific coast and i3 also the natural business center of the coast feuiaijE jdexectives. Tlie London Police Trying Hard to Catch tlic '-Kipper.-' Specal to Tni; AsTOitiAjr.i London, Oct. S. Very little heed was paid by tho public to the three or four letters "Jack tho Hipper" sent out last week, saying he was going to begin operations, but tho police arc evidently acting on information of which the public is kept in ignorance. They have taken extraordinary pre cautions, but the greatest effort mado to entrap the assassin lies in tho em ployment of a class of women, whom Jack formerly used as his prey. -5 A number of these outcljats of about tho same age and character of thoso mnrdered have practically been engaged by the police to aid in. an en deavor to capture the "ripper." k They have been converted -for the time being into female detectives for which work, provided they can bo kept sober, the police consider th'em well qualified.

OUR DEFENSELESS CONDITION General Miles' Report on Pacific Coast Defenses. SOME TIMELY SUOGESTJOXS. Spacial bvTho Umteo Press. "Wasiiington, Oct 8. Tho report of General Nelson A. Miles has been re ceived at tho war department The document has not been mado public as yet, but it is understood that its con tents are in effect a reiteration of that officer's testimony before a select com mittee of the Senate on onr relations with Canada, given in. May, 1889. In that testimony General Miles. laid particular stress on the defense less condition of the Pacific coast north of San Francisco. In effect he stated that China, to say nothing of Great Britain, have ships that could come into the harbor and destroy the city of San Francisco. He further said that it was perfectly practicable for the government to put the Pa cific coast in such a condition of de fense that in his judgment, it would be impossible for ships to enter its important harbors. Necessary defenses of the coast would be tho occupation of the en trances to Puget sound and the Co lumbia river. For the defense of tho harbor of Sau Francisco and tho cities south ward, it would tako three or four years to accomplish tho work. IN OIjD IREIiAND. The Potato Crop is Only a Par tial Failure.
