STREET, ASTORIA, OR.
The official proceedings show that ex
Sherlff's Smith's bills against the coun
ty are over $14,000 for levying and
compiling the delinquent tax roll, and
this bill rather staggered Judge Gray
and his associates. They declined to
allow it when It was taken up at the
morning session, putting the matter off
until later In the day. When the court
met after dinner, it was found that
Judse Gray had requested some of the
heavy tar-payers to meet the court
and give their opinion of the justness
of Mr. Smith's bills. Some of the in
vited ones declared they guessed the
court knew Its own- affairs, while others
had their little say and looked "with
envy on the ex-sherlff, who sat by his
counsel, Judge Lighter, with a smile
that denoted he at least believed he
had a lead pipe cinch on the county
for the full amount of his bill.
The bill looks large. . It Is large. But
that is not the quaation. The question
is, Is it a bill that the county Is com
pelled to pay according to the law of
the state? When the voters of Clatsop
county put Judge Gray In ofllce they
were certain that he would scrutinize
every bill against the county carefully,
and he Is doing It. This bill of Mr.
Smith's rather staggered him. It would
stagger most any person not acquaint
ed with the law.
But It Is the genera belief that on
the re-assembling of the county court
on August 27th, that Judge Gray will
have gone over the matter "carefully
with his advisors, and will have ar
rived at the coucluslon to order war
rants to be drawn for the full amount.
We'll see what we'll see.

BIG
WINE SYNDICATE.
The Vigilant Defeated Yesterday
After Scraping the Ground
in tiouiuard Kay.
Associated Press.
Washington, August 9. The Demo
cratic conference had expected to be
able to announce an agreement today.
Instead of reaching any definite con
clusion, the day closed with the bill
in quite as uncertain a state as ever
before in Its history, and with the sit
uation in no wise Improved, and with
the feeling between the friends of the
the senate and the house bill intensi
fied, instead of allayed. No one was
prepared to say what the outcome
would be, or when the end would be
reached.
It was apparent at the very beginning
of the conference that those who had
concluded at the adjournment of the
session that an agreement would be
arrived at today, had not taken into
account a possibility of misunderstand
ing or a change of mind. This dis
covery was made when the senate con
ference proposed to go on with the bill
upon a basis of a duly of 90 cents per
ton on coal and free Iron ore, where
upon the house conferrees announced
their unwillingness to assent to this
arrangement, and stated they would
Insist on a reversal of these terms,
with coal free and iron ore dutiable.
They understood they were to have a
choice between the two. The avowal
of this position produced great con
fusion, and led to the exchange of re
marks which were not altogether po
lite. The senate conferrees thereupon
decided to report the state of affairs
to the conservative senators, and when
the conference adjourned, called Sen
ators Gorman, Aid rich, Smit h and
Murphy into consultation. The whole
situation was outlined to them. They
were not only made acquainted with
the position of the house conferrees
for free coal, but were given to under
stand that, other conditions would be
expected by the house conferrees along
the line of the bill, Including woolens,
cottons, metals, glass and earthenware.
They decided on an emphatic negative
In reply to these propositions, saying
if the body of the bill was not pre
served virtually as it passed the sen
ate, the report of the conference when
made, would not be accepted by the
senate. Senator Brlce proposed an In
novation in the shape of a proposition
that the house conferrees be given an
opportunity to secure free sugar. His
idea was that the senate conferrees
ehciuld h'olunteer to recede) entirely
from the senate sugar schedule,
. Tlie question was, therefore, not dis
posed of when the conference ad
journed for the day,
NEWS FOR GRAPE GROWERS.
A $10,000,000 Syndicate Organized to
Stimulate the Industry.
San Francisco, August 9. At a meet
ing of the wine growers this afternoon
II. Eppsteln, prebident of the associa
tion recently formed to organize a trust
embracing all wine growing interests of
the state, reported that seven of the
leading wine merchants had signed ar
ticles of Incorporation and forwarded
them to the secretary of state. The
syndicate will control 80 per cent of the
grape product of California for the
next five years. Today's action doubles
the value of the crop, as the present
price of grapes If $5 a ton, while the
syndicate agrees to pay not less than
$10 a ton. Seven houses are in the
syndicate, and- more will soon be ad
mitted. The capital stock of the com
pany is $10,000,000, of which $2,600,000
has been 'subscribed. These houses
transfer all their assets to the syndi
cate, but each will preserve Its Integ
rity, keeping Its labels, trade marks,
and brands, while doing business as a
part of the syndicate. All of the bus
iness will be done under the supervision
of the board of directors. One branch
of the business will be to advance
about $2,500,000 annually to the vlne
yardlats for expenses in the cultivation
of vines, gathering grapes and making
wines. '
This move on the part of the wing
men is expected to revive the languish
ing wine industry of the state, and
maka wine growing profitable once
more.
AN EXCITING RACE.
The Britannia Defeats the Vigilant Af
ter the Yankee Went Aground.

four seconds. The dashing Yankee

er berth, the American yacht following

the first round. In the second round

minutes and 18 seconds. On the way
home the wind shifted so as to make
it a close reach, and this enabled the
sloop to pull up on the cutter. Hut the
Britannia maintained a lead, although
the Vigilant gained on her considera
bly while reaching for Cowes. When
nearlng the mark boat, both yachts
had to make a short board to fetch the
finishing line, which the cutter evept
unlly crossed a winner. The Britannia
won by 2 minutes and 12 seconds, not
counting her time allowance.' The vic
tory 'of the Britannia called forth a tre
mendous cheer from the Britishers
ashore and afloat. The Americans on
shore raised a gocilly cheer when the
Vigilant crossed the line defeated, but
not disgraced. Emperor William wit
nessed the race with interest. The
Prince of Wales was tn the Britannia
and Messrs. Gould, and Oliver Islcn
were on board the Vigilant. It was ad
mitted by the Vigilaht's adrnlrera that
her defeat upon this occasion was the
worst she has sustained during her
brilliant career. - This. was the sixteenth
luce in which the rival American and
British yachts have taken part, and
the score now stands 11 to 5 In favor
of the Britannia. Gould's challenge

"if the county and su'ta cannot give us
protection and do hot euro to protect
the great Industries of South Omaha,
we can stand It If they can, and ns
we were losing money before the strllre,
we are not going to fight the strikers
and loss more money, consequently the
best thing we can do Is to shut down
entirely." The packers complain that
they cannot get warrants served on
any man lifter the complaints have
been made.
Tonight as a working man was pass
ing from the packing house, two or
three men took after Mm. He started
to run, and in a few seconds luOO men
were after him. First one striker
would H'.rike the man and then anothir.
The man was knocke-l down and kick
ed. After he was beaten and chased
for two blocks the police finally got
between the mob and the man and
t topped the ascuult. ; '
