Chang Ying Hwan, arrived at Shang hai with a retinue of 56 attendants on January 14th', en route to Hiroshima, where lie Is anxious to reach. In Ja.an this sudvlen activity Is attributed to hi anxiety to meet Mr. Foster before that gentleman shall have been exposed to Oho Insidious Influence of the Japanese government. Suspicious of'all foreign ers, the Chinese are not prepared to put Implicit trust in (he advisor of their own choosing. To (he Japanese ministers of state (he prospect of Mr. Foster's participa tion In a peace discussion-Is extremely welcome. Borne of them are well ac quainted with him, and they all know that a man of his character wouid rot countenance any deceptive or dishonest proceeding. On the other hnrd.

The Potter and Thompson Go High and Dry Between Hero and Portland. Wednesday In coming down the river the steamer Potter ran on a sandbar near Maycer's landing, and stuck hard and fast. The Thompson, which left here at 0:45 (he same morning, was halied by the big side-Wheeler, and in attempting to get 'her off, shared the same fate as her sister boat When the tide raised to a sufficient height in (he afternoon the boats floated and the Potter arrived here at 6:30, the Thomp son getting Into Portland about 8 o'o'.oc-k. There is noting unusual about flhls incident, for llg'hter draught boats than either of the two mentioned have go:ie aground -betwean 'here and Port land on numerous occasions, in fact, It occurs so often (hat It occasions no comment. A gentleman who halls from a bustling city In Montana, and who happened to bo a passenger ont he Thompson, writes the following to the Astoriain from Portland: Editor Astoriain : 1 called on the Evening Telegram, mentioned the affair of the river boats getting stuck in the middle of the rv.ii.mhio rivpr. "Yes." he said. "It is a good news Item, but too delicate for us to touch. We tion l want ouumtm to get hold of anything of that kind; a word about It." He thanked me with the usual smile pe-uliar to Journalists when things don't fo to suit them. It Is a good op portunity for you to say a good word for your city. A FRIEND TO ASTORIA.

THE SPEAKER They Are Forced to Apologize to the Housu Ureckeuridife De mands Satisfaction. Associated Press. Washington, Feb. 1. There was a most exciting scene In the house of rep resentatives this morning when Rep resentative iBreckenrldge, of Kentucky, and Representative Heard, of Missouri, came to blows in the center aisle in the middle of the hall. 'Representative Heard, chairman of (he committee on District of Columbia became angered because (he Hawaiian question was being brought forward In the time de. voted to his committee, and attempt ed to secure (he floor. The beginning of the controversy was not plain, but suddenly both members sprang toward each other, Breckenrldge Bhoutlng "you cur, scoundrel and liar," and strik ing at the member from Missouri a fierce Mow which missed him. Instant ly they were seized by the members. but (hey struggled fiercely to get at each other, Shouting "liar." Pence, of Colorado, had T!reckenrldTe by the throat, and McCreary, of Kentucky, climbed over several seats and held htrr tov the shoulders. For three or four mlrutes (here was a wild Sframbllnr resembling a football rush, while all the members of the house poured Into the aisle and the greatest confusion re'jrned. The deputy sergeant at arms, Tke Hill, rushed down the aisle bearing the great mace, followed by his assist ants. The two members were then brought up "before the speaker's desk. In the course of explanations to the house Breckenrldge practically chal lenged Heard, and demanded personal satisfaction. Both Heard and Brecken rldge wore forced to apologize to the house. Expulsion proceedings are unlikely. COMMUNICATED.

E. NICHOLS. Commander, U. S. N., Inspector 12th L. H. District San Francisco, Jan. 28, 1893. Ttie entertainment given last night by (he members of the ladles annex tc (he A. F. C. was successful even beyond the most sanguine expectations of the promoters. All the seats were occu pled, and but little standing' ,room was available when the program be gan. Space will not permit of the publication of a detailed account of the affair, but It Is sufficient to say that the young ladies displayed a most remark able degree of proficiency In their drills ard callsthenlc exercises, and thoBe present were more thin pleased at the graceful evolutions. The musical pro. gram was Bhort, but tt waa exceedingly good, and all of the ladles who st klnilly assisted In contributing so lnrge ly to the success of (he entertainment were at their bc3t. Each of (he slngort received a hearty and well deserved encore, all of whlcih were gracefully re sponded to, and the fact that the acoustlo properties of (he hall have been practically spoiled toy (he recent Improvements, was not sufficient to mar the complete enjoyment by the audience of each and every song (hat was rendered. The mistaken idea is so general among grain growers that they are being outrageously swindled by the various middlemen handling their grain, that the experience of a Walla Walla farmer who determined to test the matter, and relates the result to the Statesman, may he of Interest. He took 20,000 bushels of wheat to Walla Walla and found (hat buyers were pay ing but twenty-five cents a bushel. He sold half of It and took the remaining 10,000 bushels to Portland, paying fif teen cents a bushel for transportation. Arrived there hla best offer was forty conts, and he made up hla mind that there was a comlblnatlon to get the best of him, so he paid twenty-four centa a bushel to have (he grain Shipped to Liverpool, where a sale waa made that netted him Just twenty-five cents a busher, or the exact figure offered by the Walla Walla touyer. His experi ence was not a very costly one, but It convinced him (hat (here waa not aa much profit accruing to tho various handlers of his product as la generally supposed by the grower. Mr. Lionel Stagge, representing the Cincinnati bond parties who purchased Astoria's $200,000 water bonds, arrived yesterday from Portland and deposited a 110,000 check with the commission, as a guarantee that they would carry out their contract. The contract, sub mitted to (he commission, and which they approved, was forwarded to the purchasers, and a telegram received yesterday states that they have signed the same and It Is now on its way back to Astoria. It will be two or three daya before the contract arrives. Sea Wall, Charter and Bridge Bills Pass the House. THE SENATORIAL CONTEST. resterday'a Ballot Leaves tho He suit the Same as on the Day .
