Elmore, Samborn & Co. have charter ed the steamers Augusta and Harrison for a term of years, and will hereafter run them coastwise in connection witn the steamer Elmore. Captain Schra- der, of t'ie Harrison, will ue commodore ot the fleet. For several years the three vessels have been hot competitors for soui'iiern coast point business, and if ail report come anywhere near toeing true, in stead of mere being a dividend at the end of the year for the stockholders of tha different vessels, there has ben a constant demand for assessments to meet the running expenses. Elmore, Samborn & Co., believing that a good business could be worued up, and with careful management and economy, fair profit made, negotiated for a char ter of the two above named steamers whidh resulted successfully. It Is now proposed by that firm to establish a "permanent line of steamers to South Oregon ports, and ports north as far as Quinalt river. There is great deal of trade at there places which naturally belongs to Astoria, but now goes to Sound ports and San Fran Cisco. With a line of steamers running to these ports, with a terminal at As toria, local merchants are sure to reap a great benefit. The promoters antlcl pate the coming of a railroad, and think that toy the time a line can be complet ed Into Aft oris., a tonnage can be built up with Chose places that will even surprise a railroad builder. Astoria la sure, some day, to become a great distributing point, and this last move places Elmore, Sanborn & Co on the ground floor In the transporta tion Ibusiness. As the city grows, new Industries will spring into existence, suoh as flouring mills, wholesale gro- cerles, etc The country tapped by the new line will certainly prove of great value to Astoria's commercial interests and there is no good reason why the product of the flouring mill and the stock of the wholesale grocer will not Cnd ready sale at points up and down the coast reached by this new line.

An adjourned meeting of the city council was held last night at which all members were present except Al derman Langworthy. The committee on health and police recommended that no license foe grant ed for a variety theatre and saloon In the neighborhood of Bored and Sth street and further recommended that no li cense be granted for a variety theatre in any ward in the city except on a petition signed by three-fourthg of the actual residents of the ward. T::is re port was followed by an arpeel from Mrs. W. S. Kinney, representing the ladies of the W. C T. U., requesting that mo license be granted for a variety 'hall at this place, and that the nipm- bert of the present council put them selves on record as desiring that As toria be known abroad as a place of good morals Instead of sin and salmon. On a vote the report was adopted by 5 ayes to 3 nays. Mr. Thomson recommended that the fire engine Rescue No. 2 be not repaired as It would cost about $1,200, but lay up the hook and ladder truck and pur chase a chemical engine at a cost of no more than $2,300, and have It placed lii charge of either the hook and ladder crew ;or tine crew ,of the disabled steamer. Carried. This action brought out a resolution from Councilman Welch that the pay allowance of No. 2 Fire Comapny be disallowed until such, time as they have apparatus for extinguishing fires, and that the auditor notify the company of l his action. Carried. The police report showed $324 collect ed over running expenses for 3194, while In 1S93 this department was 11514 short l and In 1892 It was 3,321.S5 short.

On motion of Alderman O'Hara the auditor was Instructed to send a tele gram to Clatsop county's representa tives at Ealem asking them if there had teen introduced measure creating a life commission In connection with the city's fire department. After a few minor matters were dls posed of the council adjourned. IN GRATITUDE. The council had under advisement last evening the question of granting license to the variety theatre which has proposed to come to Astoria. The petl Hon was presented by Mrs. W. S. Km ney, with a strong plea for the council to refuse such, am entertainment the favor they ask. Councllmen O'Hara and WeJoh discussed the question vig orously and nobly. The vote Showed a majority against the measure. The public confidence in the guardians of our city is materially strengthened 'by this action, and the wives and mothers take this method of voicing our appreciation and grati tude. COMMITTEE. In afcout two weeks the steamer Pot ter wlil go on the ways for a thorough overhauling. The T'liompson will tuke hei' run, and the Queen will take the I'hompsoii's run. It Is Intended to take the copper bottom oft the Potter and give the hull cf the boat a thor ough coat of paint. Tho whole vessel Alii be painted and decorated, and the turpcis taken up and repiuued by new and 'hanusome designs. The beds will havo the latest woven mattresses, in- eiead of the spiral springs now in use, and other changes about the interior of the vessel will add much to its beauty and comfort. The engineers think that by making certain changeb about the Potter, her Bpeed will be in creased hy at least two miles per hour, At present there are four heavy fresh water Iron tanks on the steamer which were made use of o- the Sound, but are now useless. By removing these, together with several tons of copper from her bottom, It will take away a great weight and Increase her carrying capacity as well as' her Bpeed. An other change that "will probably be made Is In the paddle boxes, lengthen tug them so that they will he free from the water thrown up by the wliee'a. Captain Sullivan states that ho won't allow anything to pass him when the new Potter comes out. More than 15,000 seamen were shlpp- od from New York last year and 10,650 discharged, says the Marine Journal. The number of shipping arrivals from foreign ports durin gthe year was 4,761, and from domestic ports, 11421. Of the ear's arrivals from foreign ports, 2984 were steamers, 185 Bhlps,'450 barks, 144 brigs, and 998 schooners. Of this total, 1125 were American vessels, 23S3 BritlHh, 4S9 German, 201 Norwegian, 152 Dutch, 98 French, 92 Italian, 77 Belgian, 69 Fpainltfn, 34 Danlfth, 24 Portugese, 8 Swedish, 6 Russian, 5 Austrian, 4 Hay- tlan, 3 Hawaiian, and 2 Brazilian. Dur- ng December there were 851 arrivals from foreign ports, and 939 coastwise. Of tho year's arrivals coastwise, 7878 were from Eastern, and 3543 from Southern ports, while as to rig, 95C0 were schooners, 1750 were steamers, 15 ships, 51 'barks, and 27 trigs. 1 Cleveland Advises an Amend ment of the Bond Law.

P.oiiitlrn Introduced ard caTied that a committee on ftreets be Instruct ed to report the most feasible ond b-st street to be Improved from the claim A story wlhtch originally appeared In the London Westminster Gazette, is go ing the rounds of the English service papers: An Dnglish sloop of war, un aer command or captain B , waB moored in the river, opposite the for elgn concession at Shanghai, When one afternoon a large American merchant ship andhored so class to her that when Uhc swung to the next tide. It was pret ty certain she would make It a "foul berth." The English captain sent an officer with a polite message asking the American captain to "shift" his position, but an answer was returned to this effect: "Tell your captain to keep his hair on; I guess we'll swing clear." A second message was sent later on, but brought an even less civil reply. Shortly before sunset the two ships had swung to the tide, the American's stern being within a few feet of the other's taffrall and her captain calmly seated on a long deck chair, with re freshments on the skylight close beside him. Five minutes to sunset was re ported when Captain B came on deck and said, "I think we will fire a big sunset gun tonight. Train the after SS-poimder gun Just clear of the Yan kee's stern and load It with a reduced Wank charge of 8 pounds of powder." These orders were promptly obeyed. Sunset was reported and the order to "fire" given bang went the 04-poumler as the ensign came down, and a crash was heard on board the American. No sooner had the noise subsided than the American commander called over, "I guess I'd move. Cap., but please send me a glass to finish my grog with; you've broken all my durned crockery." It is a good story, and one which, a the Army and Navy Journal remarks, might be told as well by an American as an Englishman. The latest Imperial German budget contained, for the first time, an Item of 2'1,0"-0 marks to be expended in the r romotion of an Independent system of rClp-flawlfication In Oermany, this be ing at present In the hands of private undertakings. Associated Frees. Washington, Jan. 28. The president sent a message to congress today cal ling attention to the necessity of Im mediate legislation for the protection of the treasury from further depletion of the gold reserve. The president says the real trouble whtrfh confronts us consists In a lack of confidence, wide spread and constantly Increasing, in the continuing ability or disposition of the jovennment to pay its obligation In gold. This lack of conflhonce-grows to some extent out of the palpable and ap parent embarrassments attending the government under existing laws to pro cure gold, and to a greater extent out of the Impossibility of either keeping It In the treasury or cancelling obligations by its expenditure after it Is obtained. The only way left open to the govern ment for procuring gold is by an Issue and sale of bonds. The only bonds Uhat can be issued were authorized nearty twenty-five years ago, and are not well calculated to meet our present needs. Among other disadvantages they are made payable In coin. Instead of specifically In gold, which in the ex isting conditions detracts largely and Increasing the ratio from their desir ability as Investments. It is by no means certain that the bonds of this description can be much longer dls. posed of at a price creditable to the inanclal character of our government. The most dangerous and Irritating fea ture of the situation, however, is found in the means fcy which the treasury Is despoiled of gold, thus obtained with out cancelling a single government ob ligation and solely for the benefit of those who may find profit by shipping it abroad. We have outstanding about $500,000,000 In currency notes. The president, after reviewing the condition of the treasury says: "Besides the treasury notes, which certainly should be paid In gold amounting to nearly $500,000,0,0, there will fall due in 1904 a hundred million dollars Issued during the last year for whidh we have received gold, and in 1907, nearly $600,000,000 four per cent bonds Issued in 1877. Shall the pay ment of these obligations in gold be epudiated? If they are to be paid in such manner as the preservation ot our national honor and national sol vency demands, we should not destroy or even imperil our ability to supply ourselves with gold for that purpose. While 1 am not uufrlendlry to silver, and while I desire to see It recognized to such an extent as la consistent with the financial safety and preservation of the national honor and credit, I am not willing to see gold entirely banished from our currency and finances. To avert suoh a consequence I believe a thorough and radical remedial legist tlon should be promptly passed. 1 therefore beg congress to give the sub ject Immediate attention, In my opin Ion tho secretary of the treasury Should Oe authorized to issue 'bonds of the gov crnment for the purpose of procuring and maintaining a sufficient gold re serve, and the redemption and cancel lation of United States legal tender notea and treasury notes Issued for the purchase of sliver under the law of July 14, 1890. "We Bhould be relieved from the hu miliating process of Issuing bonds to procure gold to be Immediately and completely drawn on these obligations for purposes not related to the benefit of our government or our people. The principal and interest on these bonds should be payaiblo on their face In gold, because there would now probably be a difficulty of favorably disposing of the bonds not containing this stlp ulatlon. I suggest the bonds be used In denominations of $20 and $50 and their multiples, s.nd that they bear Interest not to exceed three per cnt per an num. I do not see why they should not be made j ayaible 50 years from their date. The se;retary of the treasury mlrlht well be permitted at his discre tion to receive on the sale of bonds, legal tender and treasury notes to be retired, and of course when they are thus retired or redeemed by gold they Hhould be cancelled. These bonds under existing law could be deposited by national banks as security for circula tion, and such banks should be al low1 to lsue circulation up to the face value of these or any other bnnds so deposited, except bonds oiitstsndlnv bearing only t per cent Interest snd whlrth e!1 In the market at less than par. The national banks should not he allowed to take out olrculntlng note of less denomination than $10 and wher such are are now outstanding reach the treasury except for redemption, and retirement, they should be can celled, and notes In denominations of $10 and upwards Issuod In their stead. Silver certificates of a denomination of $10 and upwards should 'be replace.! by certificates of a denomination under $10. As a constant means for the mnln tonance of a reasonable supply of gold in the treasury, our duties on Imports should 'bo patf In gold, allowing all other dues to the government to be paid In any other form of money. 1 believe all the provisions I have sug gested should be embodied In our laws if we are to enjoy the complete re- ln8tatement of a sound financial condi- tlon. They need not Interfere with any currency scheme providing for the In crease of the circulating medium through the agency of our national or state banks, since they can be easily adjusted to such a scheme." NO CHANCE AS The heavy seas rolling in over the bar last Sunday, played sad havoc with the north Jetty trestle, and in a few minutes destroyed the labor of weeks.

IT NEEDS INVESTIGATING. Congress passed an act, which was approved January 18, 1695, abolishing custom house bonds heretofore required to be given on tliie Issuance of regis ters, euirollmtants and licenses to vessels of the United Stales. Collector of the Port Pago recently receives a notifi cation trcv the treasury department of the above fact, and bonds on docu menting vessels are no longer required at the custom 'house. This docs not in validate any bonds heretofore given. Bonds for license of yachts are no long er required. Masters of vessels should familiarize themselves with the provls.
