DOIN.nS IN THE HOUSE., . Washington, , Sept. IS. The republic ans continued their deadlock in the affairs of the. house today, in order to prevent Tucker from reporting his bill repealing the " federal elections laws. They are determined that the 1.111 shall not recelva a place on the calendar un til the democrats produce a Quorum .themselves. In tills policy . of delay, they are again joined by General Tra cy and a small, coterie of the adminis tration democrats who. are opposed to going ahead with the Tucker bill at this ' time. The revoking all leaves of absence by the order of yesterday, bore fruit to the extent of forty additional democrats today, but leaving them still thirty-one short of a quarum, exclu sive of those acting with General Tra cy. The filibuster today lasted until 2 o'clock when by the previou order of the house, eulogies on the late IJcpre sentaJtive Chlpman of Michigan, were delivered. The house then adjourned. Mr. Tucker and his colleagues hardly expect, to be able to muster a quorum tomorrow, and on Monday, the house will participate In a body in the cere monies attending the centennial cele bration of ' the laying of the corner stone of the capitol. On Tuesday, how ever, they confidently anticipate the presence of their own quorum, and then they will be able to brush aside the opposition of the republicans. SUMMARY JUSTICE.

It is almoBt impossible to obtain additional news of the bombardment of Rio Janeiro.

The government no longer at tempts to conceal the fact that a few people were killed, and- some buildings were damaged. Firing is- said to have been resumed yesterday with about the same results as on the day. before. Buenos Ayres, Sept. 15.

SENSATION. Seattle; Wash.,. Sept. 15.

Elmore, Sanborn & Co.'s fall salmon circular issued yesterday sayB: "At Shoalwater Bay and Gray's Harbor fish are scarce. At Puget Sound they were running very slack untll'the lllh Inst., when they took spurt and came In in fairly large quantities.' If dry weather continues the Puget Sound canners will have a fair pack, but even then it will be nothing like last year's output. If the rains come on early the pack will dwindle down to .very s:nall proportions indeed. All the riv ers south of the Columhla arS having light runs, which improved somewhat during the late rainy weather. Ac cording to our latest reports . Gray's Harbor has 2,000 cases, Shoalwater Iiay 1,200 cases, and Tillamook 1,500 cases.' The quality of fall fish is about the same as that of previous years. At Slusliw and the Umpqua there has been a perceptible 'Increase in size. No definite reports are yet at hand from Coquille or Rogue Rivers. The fall Ashing in the Columbia itself is fairly successful. Onl ytwo canneries are running. The fish In Baker's Bay for the last few days have done well and the quantity of fish coming in, if they ran .in a small estuary, would give prospects for a large pack. They are very much scattered, however, in the Columbia. The humpback variety arc coming- in very large, many of them weighing thirty pounds. The price rul ing fall salmon this year Is extremely poor, owing especially to the great quantities of Alaska fish now offered at it.QVA delivered In New York. Fall fish will bring about tllVA delivered in Eastern states. : ANOTHER CUT IN RATES.

Customs In spector Green rclzed fifty pounds of opium today on the steam collier Em pire from Nanalmo, B. C, and it is thought, has succeeded in breaking up one of the niort successful smuggling routes.' ' Mr. Hunter Replies To "Citizen." Mr. M. M. Hunter of the butchering .Inn of Hunter & Mergens, came Into The Astorlan office yesterday to reply try the continents of "Citizen" concern ing the actions of his and other firms In sending to Portland for beef and cattle Instead of patronizing the coun ty farmers, "I wont to say," he re marked, "thU 'Citizen' doesn't know what he is talking about, or he has obtained his knowledge from people who didn't give him the facts of the case. In the first place, I will state that this very day every butchering establishment in Astoria is selling Clatsop county beef over its counters, butchered in Clatsop county, and that every establishment of the kind In this "city Is willing and anxious to buy from Clatsop firmers every pound of meat they can raise. Speaking for my own firm, .we have always been ready and stand ready now to pay for and util ize every head of cattle offered to us for sale by our local farmers. We are undor standing Instructions from our headquarters In Portlund to accept arid sell Clatsop county beef as much as possible, and only to send to Portland for. it when it is impossible to supply the demand with the local product.' And this I may say Is the main rea son why the citizens of Astorl-v must often buy beef raised outside the coun ty. Oufr farmers cannot raise nearly enough to satisfy home consumption. They have never done it yet. You cannot find a tingle stock raiser of this county who can say over his own signature that he has offered a pur chasable piece of meat to an Astoria butcher and been refused." "From Christmas time to April, with one or tworare exceptions, it is never possible to get beef in Clatsop county, and we have to Bend away as far ns Salt Lake to BUpply the market. They have to do the same thing In Portland, and Portland butchers would no. more think of sending to Salt Lake for what they could get-Just as well In Mult nomah counity, than we would think of sending to Portland for what wa had at our very doors In Clatsop. Of course we won't accept bullocks that have bet-n worked for years In logging tnmps, neither will we pay for old cows that have been milked dry and pre fit for nothing but the manure I. tn p. 'I hey are not beef at all, but coleleather. But no farmer in this sec tion ever brought an eatable piece of meat to lis yet, that we have not glad ly and willingly accepted at full mar ket rates. We are willing to buy every head of merchantable beef that stands in the county todny." Don't gp to Portland to buy your tickets for the "Old Country" and the Kast when you can get them for the same price at the Union Pacific ofltce In this city, and thereby save your lo cal fare to Portland. 3.
