According to the report of United States Consul Monoghan at Chemnitz, Saxony, made to the state department, that city seems to have settled the , and the elimination of one of the worst features of this beautiful resort. It Is TODAY'S EXCURSION. Tho excursion to Seaside this morn lng should be largely attended. The O. R. and N. Co. and the Seashore Rull- road Co. have generously asreed to donate the whole proceeds of the ex cursion towards purchasing life-saving npporatus for Clatsop roach, at Seaside. Furthermore, (ho hotels at Seaside have arranged no that the excursionists will be charged but half the regular rate for their dinners, thus making It comparatively an Inexpensive trip. No one Is more directly Interested In the welfare of the Clatsop beaches than are the citizens of Astoria. They are really a part of us, and the more prosperous they are, the more benefl fltted will be the business men of this city. that have occurred at the beach during the past few years, any one of which might have been prevented had the necessary Jlfe-suvlng apparatus boon kept conveniently n ?ar, lias had a great deal to do with the aversion which many people show toward this resort, and the large number of people that yearly congregate on North Beach.

The jockeying tactics employed against the American yacht by the Britannia in order to enable the The sad accidents from drowning- gatanita to win, indicate that fair play has been dispensed with on the English side. The Vigilant might as well be withdrawn from the remaining races, If discourtesy and billingsgate are to be the racing rules among English sports men.

She will know where to come next time. trolley system in the movement of elec tric street cars in a way that presents the fewest posslblo objections. Here tofore, the motive power for all street enra In the city was horses, but these have been discarded and a trolley sys tem without poles has been adopted. Tho mothod of strlnrfng tho wires, rays Consul Monngan, Is "by means of ornamental rosettes fastened Into the woodwork or walls of houses, having projecting hooks to which tho wires ore attached. These hooks are firmly fae toned, and tested with seven times the weight they will be called upon to bear. Owners of houses without exception, prefer to allow the uso of their houses free rather than have posts on the sidewalks." Tho report saya that the streets of Chemnitz, whore this system Is In use, are wider than Washington street In Boston, which is, most of the way, nnrrowcr than any business street in Chicago, and In some places It Is not over i0 or 60 feet In width. For narrow streets without shade trees, tho Chemnitz system might be made available, but there are fjw ir. any, streets In Chicago, where it could be applied. The system used In some American cities, notably In New Orlaans, where a single ornamental post Is placed between the tracks, with arms from which tho wires are suspended, is said by some to bo fur better and less dangerous than tho double row of posts at tho curb which carry the wires. But It Is to bo hojicd that some other prac tical method of using electricity as a motive power for cam than tho over head wires will bo found that will do nwny with the unsightly ami dangerous conductors. Chicago Record. a move that should have been taken years ago, but It la not now too late to bring forth good results. . REMINISCENT OF A "GIANT." What hns befallen the American poo pie slnco tho days of tho "Cardiff giant?" Only a few days ago a petrified giant In every wny equalling for show pur poses the Cardiff monster, was dug up In an Indiana swamp hard by Goshen There were tho same traces of Incalcu lable age, the same Interesting symp toms of petrifaction, the same bewll derlng suggcstlveness of a prehistoric race which showmen turned so nobly to account. Yet here, before a week hns passed, and before the Hooslor discov erer hus had time to realize first cost on his "discovery," experts have taken his find under observation and pro nou.icd it a humbug. Tho "giant'" Is so quickly done for, ho may well wonder what ha was begun for. That other petrified fraud was dis covered also, but not until It had en riched tho showmen and those lncorrlg iblea had enjoyed the fun of fooling all the world. What oiled the Hoosler giant? Have tho American people grown sharper or loBt their earlier relish for being Im posed upon? Or did the genius of hum bug dlo when Phlneas Taylor Barn urn died? It was certainly a touching scene en acted at Greenwood Friday afternoon when the little band of Salvationists knelt by the side of the newly made grave of their late comrade, H. P. Jen son, and paid the last sad rites to the dear depanted. The tears they Bhed came from hearts overburdened with sorrow at the loss of a brother, and tho beautiful sun-kissed flowers that were laid on the mound of earth that hid from view the loved form of their law companion ana worker, were no more pure and grand and beautiful than were the thoughts that prompted the kindly deed. Go to Seaside this morning. The success of the excursion means far more to you than the dollar piece that you will contribute in getting there, Tho money derived from the excursion will be used for purchasing life-saving apparatus for that beach.

We may gain some noton of the Chinese government's resources for war by observing tho effect of the strugglo with Japan upon the Chinese in America. Sunday evening no fewer than 100 Chinese laundrymen, merchants, gam blers, nnd dlve-keeors were gathered nt a railway stallon In New York city awaiting the train that was to carry inom to Montreal and thence, via the Canadian. Pacific road, to Vancouver, where they will take the mall steamer Tor China, These wore tho designated reserve of the Chinese army a horde of humanity whose number not the most expert westerner enn calculate. We can only guess how powerful Is tho sway of a government which can roach out its hand half way round the glolie to enlist for lt army subjects en- gatici in peaceful pursuits. The 100 who went back from New York, are doubtless but a minute fraction of the throngs cf expatriated Chinese to be found not only In America, but In Aus tralia, nnd the Pacllle Islandsall sub ject to their emperor's commands. When these ore added to the fttnndlng army, a body of I,S50,000 men, and the rouiitlima home reserves In a population numbering 40fl.00o.000, It Is not diUlcult to understand the confidence of those Chlneae who kx,k forward to seeing Oorva imindiited with their Emperor's prm Never, perhaps, in the history i f war have so many men been enlisted nt fine u may take the field when at 1 li't'S'h the slow-moving Chinese shall j deluge the Old Wi.rM with M.vo 1. Marked Is tho Improvement which ha taken place of late In the relations be tween Franco and Germany, a striking Illustration of which has Just been af forded by tho refusal of the mayor of Munich to permit th- erection on one of the public squares of the city of a fountain destined to commemorate the battle of Woerth. The mayor declared that he was strongly opposed to every thing of a character calculated to wound tho susceptibilities of Ger many's western neighbor. The wortiiy burgomaster has evidently taken his cue from Emperor William, who won for himself so much good-will in France by the noble lunguagc of his message of condolence to Mme. Carnot, and the tactful kindliness of his act In liberating on tho morning of the funeral of the murdered president the two French officers Imprisoned as spies. How much this conduct was appreciated Is shown at the present moment when two of the principal I'nrlnlan reviews, as well as tho press of every political shade throughout the land, contain ar ticles of most enthusiastic eulogy of this young ruler who Is set up by M. Jules Simon as a "mvdel of every do mestic virtue," by M. Lemaitrc as ,-the most chivalrous and generous-minded of modern munurvha," and by M. de Vogue as a grandiose and modern im personation of those prtesb-klngs cf former times who were Imbued with a mystical conception of their duty as pa!oi a of the people. By each of these three eminent authors he Is, strangely enough, held up as the principle safe guard of the maintenance of peace In Europe,, with quite aa much unanimity and conviction as that displayed at the outsot of his reign to the effect that his eugvrneKS for military glory would The property man of Madeline Pol lard's company Is undoubtedly still lig urlng how he can get that big clnrcd hack on the stage.
