"I N Populism Scorched by a Blaze, of Righteous Indignation. RINGING DOWN THE CJURTAIN On the Firrt Act of tlie Drama of "Political Misrule in Or egon." The election passed oft very quietly yesterday. There was little or no ex citement, either on the streets or at t.ha various polling places. The absence of drunken men from the sfreets was an Indication that Astoria still sustains Its old-time reputation for morality. The mii'.-h-talked-of "boodle" that was to have made Its appearance failed to ma terialize, and the man with a "sack" was conspicuous by his absence. In lieu- thereof time were earnest and In dustrious workers at the various polls, who labored zealously In behalf of their particular friends of either party. The hardest fight of the campaign was made by the Democrats and Populists, who entered Into a combine to down John Fox. Every conceivable mode of falsehoods and misrepresentations were used to defeat him, but all Indications are lo the effect that Mr. Fox will be the next state senator from Clatsop county. Returns from the city precincts at a late hour last night showed that he was ahead of Smith in all the pre cincts except Alderbrook, which, how ever, casts only a light vote anyhow. and will not affect the result in the city. It is not thought that the returns from the country will make any radical change In the vote for Fox, as he has many friends outside the city who no doubt .stood by him. Another hard fight was made for the sheriff's office, but it la pretty generally conceded that James W. Hare will col lect the taxes for Clatsop county for the next two years. The combination of the Democrats and Populists (o support O'Hara was a hard one to buck against, but the Indications are favorable to the effect that the "bucking" has been suc cessfully accomplished, provided an un precedented vote from the county pre cincts in favor of O'Hara does not offset the advantage gained in the city. For representative? Curtis and Lester lave the lead, and will in all probabili ty come lr under the wire good winners. The balance of the ticket Is also un doubtedly elected, and there Is little reason to apprehend but that every man on the Republican ticket Is elected. This la a bad year for Democrats, anyhow, and the rank and file of tho Democratic party all over the country, where a vote Is cast, wllj doubtless soon discover this facU- The people voted for a change they are very anxious to change back again, and put none but Republicans on guard. One gentleman was heard to re mark yesterday that he believed if an election was to take place tomorrow for president that the Republicans would carry the state of Texas. This, of course, may be an exaggerated belief, but at the same time It would be possi ble, under (he preset financial strin gency prevailing In every section of the country The country was prosperous under a Republican administration a fact made patent to all since the Demo crat have been In power, and the peo ple are determined to have no more of the latter. The voice of the people will be heard In no uncertain tones from now on until the election of a president, when they will cap the climax by elect In? a Republican by the largest ma jority in the history of the country. Owing to the wires being down. The Astorian is unable to give any news as to the result throughout the state, but here Is little rea.vn to doubt the elec tion of the entire state ticket. tSuch a result means much for the welfare of Orejron, and Insures an era of prosperity to all its people. The full returns from all the precincts In the city will not be In before 12 o'clock today, and In consequence the result of the vote In Astoria cannot be ascertained In time for publication this morning. From the returns, however, up to J:10 a. m. there 1 every reason Kit. i ,, - .-iJt- to believe that a majority vote has been cast for the Republican ticket. A tabu lated statement will be published in The Astorian when the full returns are In. A DEMOCRATIC SCRIMMAGE. Two Prominent Astoria Politicians Try ' Forcible Arguments. A scrap between two well-known lo cal politicians uccurred yester day morning In which one of them received a severe blow In the face, the marks of which are still very clearly diseenrnible. Th? man who. received the blow,, however, made a gallant charge , upon his opponent and suc ceeded in downing him, and there Is no telling where the matter would have end;d, had not mutual friends inter fered at this stage of the encounter and separated the infuriated warriors. The trouble la said to have arisen over the fact that one of the men accused the other of being a traitor to his party, which imputation waa resented forth with by a blow. It Is bad enough for Republicans and Demo crats to Bcrap- with each other, but when two good, tried and true Demo crats, such as participated In this scrimmage, come to blows, an explana tion is In order. Still It is only un illus tration of what lias been going on in that party ever since Cleveland was Inaugurated. A GOOD HAUL. A fisliNi!an named Hashui, while out on the river early yesterday morning, was surprised to see an object coming down Btreani which rather unnerved him. He. roused his boat-puller and told him to fight for his life, as outside was a eea serpent that had over 50 heads, and It was coming towards them with all its mouths wide open, showing two big fangs In each mouth and holes for 50 fangs more. They both got ready to defend themselves, when they discover ed thaUInstead of a sea serpent it was a dozen and a half of chickens, which had taken refuge on a log and were be ing slowly can-led towards the ocean. As chickens are worth 14.50 a dozen on the market, Haslan was not long In making up his mind that all was fish that came Into his net, so he captured the. flock and covered them over with an old net In the bottom of the boat, where his partner remarked they layed in- selne until they were taken ashore. A GREAT CRUISER. The cruiser Columbia can Ball nearly half way around the world with a single coaling, at the rate of nearly twenty miles an hour. She la therefore not only the fastest sailor among the warships of the world, but also the farthest. Of all the gems of the ocean, she Is the diamond. As bearing upon tha efficiency of the vessel, it is pointed out that Its coal bunker capacity is 2,450 tons, which, with the central screw for ordlary cruising purposes, givea the vessel a steaming radius of nearly 12,000 miles, unequalled by any vessel alltat. The average: displacement of the ColJmbla during the int-iectlch was 8,400 tons, which was Just 1,040 tons greater-than it was when Bhe made her acceptance trial trip and her record of 22.8 knots under forced draught. ' The rkiport .saya that when the fact Is tuken into consideration that the Col umbia has been in' commission only a month, that her crow arc- unaccustomed to her, and that this is the first actual sea servlco she has had, her perform ance is amazing, even to her most san guine admirers. GREATER NEW YORK. i New York Tribune. Greater New York, a tojiographlcal statistician points out, will cover an area of 317 square) miles; three times the size of London and twelve times of that of Paris. Rome, Babylon and Memphis are not to be mentioned 'In the compart son, and the only real competitor, con temporaneous or historic ,will be Chi cago, which spreads its municipal out lines as far, out on the prairie aa it chooses and la not going to be left be hind In any race for bigness. - DOES IT PAY To be Idle?

PORTLAND'S GLOOMY PROSPECT Docks Being; Broken Up and Washed Away and Valuable Goods Float ing Seaward. The mighty Columbia Is, still backing the water up to Portland, and gradu ally but surely encroaching, upon, the territory of that ill-fated city. In addi tion to this, the Willamette is slowly rising above Portland, which means fur ther trouble for that city. Yesterday morning, when the Telephone left the metropolis, the water waa 31.6 above the low water mark, which Is a rise of three feet over the flood of 1870, with the waters still coining up. All boats are now compelled to land at Jefferson street, and It the rise continues, of which there is every prosiKut, a new landing further south will have to be mode. Yesterday the false floor of Allen & Lewis' large establishment guve way, dumping the goods into the water, and entailing a heavy loss upon the owners. Mr. S. S. Gordon, who returned yester day from Portland, says the water In the St. Charles hotel was running over the counters in the office, and the latlt-r had been moved up stairs. The only way of reaching this hostelry Is by boats. Many of the docks are being broken up and destroyed, and a large amount of goods is probably ere this In the river. The gas company, it was stated by passengers on the Telephone, would be compelled to shut down Us plant yesterday, as the works are cow ered to such an extent as to make the further manufacture of gas an impossi bility. Coal oil lamps and candles, therefore, were probably in demand last night in that city. The merchants of the. metropolis, bar. Ing aware of the fact that Astoria Is free from floods, and having fto place of safety in which to store their goods within the limits of their own city, have arranged to ship the same here. Hal- four, Guthrie & Co. have completed de tails for shipping several hundred tons to the bonded warehouse In this city, and the Telephone brought down yes terday 200 tons of goods, consisting of flour, tin plate and other merchandise. A steamer load of hay and salmon, the latter of which had been shipped to Portland from here, arrived on the Union Pacific boat yesterday morning, and the agent of this line Is making ar rangements to receive more goods. He al3o is expecting to receive Instructions to hold the San Francisco steamer, which arrives today In this port, and have her cargo discharged here. Also to load her return cargo at this point, CapU Crang, of the Telephone, Bays the situation In Portland Is of a very alarming character, and that the people who have heretofore looked upon the state of affairs In a rather indifferent manner have suddenly awakened to the gravity of the situation, ami are debating the probable outcome of the matter with serious and solemn countenances. The water yesterday morning was running over the sidewalks on Fourth street, clear up to Madison, and a further rise of one foot was predicted, which would Insure heavy damages to property below tho locality mentioned. The captain stated that he passed fot't- houses float lng down the river, and also wreckage of all descriptions tou numerous to mention. The steamer Maria capsized at Portland, and when the Telephone left was lying on her side, and has probably filled and sank by this time. At the Cascades the loss of fish wheels has been heavy, McGowan having lost five, and other Individuals are minus that many more, swept away by the ruthless waters. The Warren cannery at that place Is also in 'great danger, there being six feet of water on the floors yesterday, and the river still ris ing. Late advices , from The Dulles and Cascades are to the effect that a further rise of four or five feet is expected. The greater portion of. The Dalles is under water, and the Umatilla house, that was raised to be out of the flood of 1S90, has seven feet of water on Its floor. No trains from the east are arriving Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report - ABSOlUIEKf PUHE at Portland, passengers being trans ferred to Bteamers at The Dalles, and It will be many days before the trains run Into that city, even If the water should subside at once. The tracks are washed out for miles In many places, and It will take much time and labor to make the necessary repairs when the opportunity occurs. The railroad companies will be found ampng the heaviest sufferers from the flood. In conversation with a well known physician, the latter said that not only would the people of Portland suffer a heavy financial loss, but that an era of sickness was In prospect for Its people when the flood subsided. He stated thlH fact was patent to all from past ex periences of thla character, and as the pverflow was much greater, and there fore covered a larger expanse of terri tory than tlt of any previous flood, It would simply be in the nature of things thai an epidemic of fevers and other Ills of which the human flesh la heir to would break out upon the water's sub siding. The sympathy of the entire country, of course, goes out to Portland over the prospect of. such an unfortun ate events which, however, does not ob viate the fact that the metronolls Is situated In a very unhealthy locality, and consequently not a desirable place to make a permanent residence In. St. Vincent's hospital has three feet of water on Its floor, something that has never liappened before In the history of Portland. In consequence, 20 patients, together with nurses for them, will ar rive here this morning and take quar ters In SU Mary's hospital. As these facts serve to point out the disadvantages under which Portland la bors In the matter of a terminal point, Astoria not being subject, nor In any possible future danger of a flood, offers natural facilities as a terminal city, and It only needs a combined effort on the part of its citizens to bring about such a result. OUT ALL NIGHT. Fishermen N. P. Olscn and John Hill, from thla city, have had a rather se vere experience, which they are not likely to forget very soon. Sunday af ternoon, while on their way towards the mouth of the river to cast their nets, they were caught In the ebb tide and carried with It towards the sea. When six miles from Cape Hancock they sig nalled and were seen by the life-saving crew at the cape, but the tide was then coming In, and there were so, many other boats In that vicinity which need ed the crew's attention It waa Impossi ble, aa well aa Impracticable, to render them any assistance. Yesterday morn ing, while the United States steamer Mendull was at Fort Canby, the life saving crew went over and explained the situation to Inspector Hegardt, who ordered Capt. Urown to go out of his course and keep a lookout for the boat. He did so, and found them about 11 o'clock well out at sea, but rather tired out In their efforts to ' get back home. The captain towed them In over the bar and left them at Sand Island, where tho men Btoppcd to rest up. NOTICE TO MARINERS. Crescent City Bell Buoy.
