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.

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

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.
