The following Is from the St. Paul Pioneer Press: "One of ithe two oldest river captains in the far West, Capt. J. D. Miller, of the Kootenay country called at the Great Northern headquar ters yesterday. He passed through St Paul in 1848, Just before the California goM fever broke out, and crossed tht plains to the coast In six months with oxen. Since then he has never re turned to St. Paul until yesterday He ha served as captain of steamers tn the Pend d'Orielle, the Willamette, the Columbia, the Clark's Fork, tin Snake, the 'East Kootenay, and other rivers, and now runs the steamer Ha lys from Bonner's Ferry to Kalso. As soon as he getB machinery from St Paul and Stillwater, he will refit and rechrlsten the steamer Pend d' Oredlle, which he also- runs from New port, Idaho, to Box Canyon, Wash. He will call this steamer the Metallne since Its course Is through the Meta llne territory. Capt. Miller has with him some remarkable specimens ol ere from Eastern Washlng'ton." The old case of the United States vs the steamship Idaho for smuggling was dismissed in the United Statef court at Seattie, pursuant to a warrant from the secretary of the treasury remitting the penalty upon the pay ment by the Pacific Coast Steamahlr Company of a fine of l,000 and $1,200 fee and co3ts, aggregating $2,411.10 This suit was originally commenced in the tsrritorlal court, in which the United States Becured Judgment against the claimant and stipulator In the sum of $30,000 upon & conviction for Bmuggling. The case was appealed to the supreme court of the territory ind, upon the organization of the fed eral court, wa3 transferred from tht supreme court of the state to the cir cuit court of the United States for the -district of Washington, and upor '.he trial the Jud'srment of the territo rial district court was affirmed. Th proceedings on Monday were practl ally a compromise upon a showing nade by the claimant, the Pacific Coast Steamship Company.

The average time taken by a vest-el n the passage from Astoria to Liver pool the past season has been a.luut Jj days, which seems a very long vlme is compared with th-e voyage of tiic Jrltlsh ship Principality, which hah ,ust arrived at Liverpool, making th passage In 97 days, and belii? ti.e astest time sailed In the past twt ears. The continued absence of thi Juplca, which is now out 191 days, i n strange contrast to this re-niai-kabii voyage Just finished. The Principality sailed from Asloiif Oecember 18, and arrived at tju'ens town March 25. Htr cargo co-nslst! if 55,5ti8 centals of wheat, valu?.i at ;l(i,000. She was loaded by J. R. Cam ron & Co. The ship Is very well iiown here, having made half a doz en voyages to this port. She was generally rated as a very fair vessel, .hough In 1S94 she waB 153 days In making the run to Dunkirk. The Prin cipality was built In Sunderland in 1SS5, and she halls from Liverpool. She Is a four-masted iron vessel, reg istered at 1699 tons. Captain E. Jones has been her master for several years. The best passage made since las! season is credited to the Sutherland shire, which ran from Astoria to Fal mouth In 100 days. In 1S93 the .Mach. rlhunlsh sailed from Astoria to Cork In 93 days, having made a decidedly long passege In coming this way. She Is exactly the same register as thi Principality. Seven years ago the Lar naoa, an iron bark with a iwod rec ord, covered the distance between th '"Vilumbla river and Queenstown in l)i days. The fastest time ever made between Oregon and Europe occurred several years before the Larnacas vovajre. and was made by the British shin Call- loch. The Caitloch was in command of Captain Phillips, and was loaded with wheat by -Henry Hewitt Co. A dead calm kept her in sight of lan5 for two days after she was towed oul cf the river, but the old adage re garding a bad beginning and a good ending, hel 1 good In this case, and 87 davs after she disappeared from view from Cape Hancock Mr. Hewitt received a telegram announcing her arrival at Queenstown, 89 days from 1 port to ixirt. 0 the day the Principality reached Queenstown. two other Oregon ships arrived at ports of call, but neither of them made very good time. Th Glen burn sailed Into Falmouth after a trip 9t 137 days, and the Yola reported off fie Lizard, H2 d'ava from ouj shores. The Ulenburn's craw Is ST.-S-98 rentals of wheat valued at $42,050, and the Yola's, 52.457 centals, worth $35,0(10. The former vessel was loaded hv SI boon & Kerr, and the latter bv the Pacific Coiast Elevator Co. Mr. A. B. Hammond and Party Arrived Yesterday. HfcMfcT THE SUBSIDY COMMITTEE Told them What He Would do, and StaUs His Proposition He WilNiuilil. Mr. Hammond Is here. He has the money to build the Astorla-Goble rail road ,and will build It providing the people of this city get In and do their share of the work. In other words, the good people of Astoria must carry out their part of the contract as faith fully as has Mr. Hammond, and thfs they will doubtless do. Mr. A. B. Hammond, C. H-. McLeod, of Montana, and X71wln Stone, of Portland, arrived In the city on yes terday morning's boat. They went dl rectly to the Occident Hotel, where shortly afterward the party were Join ed by Mayor Kinney and other mem bers of the subsidy committee. The arrival of Mr. Hammond seemed to awaken a new' life, not only In mem bers of the subsidy committee, but In the whole population of the city, foi all day long little knots of men could be Been standing on the street comers discussing the situation, and without exception their faces beamed with ex peotancy and good humor. A meelng of the subsidy committee had been called for 11 o'clock, and many citizens and members of the press were Invited to be present. The Chamber of Commerce hall was well filled, when shortly after 11 o'clock, Mr. Hammond 'and his associates en tered. They were heartily received by the assemblage. Upon invitation vi Chairman Kinney, Mr. Hammond briefly stated what he had returned to Astoria for, what he could do, and what he expected the people of Asto ria to do before the work would go on. He spoke of his tireless and fruitless efforts to bring the Astorla-Goble rail road proposition before the financial men of the world's money centers, and now the road would be built with indi vidual money. It would be several years before western railroads would receive favorable consideration in New York and London. He assured the gentlemen present that he had the money to go ahead with the work and complete It, and from all appearances there was no one In the room who ioubted the statement. But there were .ertaln changes in the existing ron tract that Mr. Hammond wanted .ihanged, as well as other matters at tended to, which he had supposed were .n proper shape, but whieh he finds upon Investigation to be incomplete. Jrlelly stated, Mr. Hammond's de dres as stated to the committee, art, as follows: The right of way from Astoria to Joule; a modification of that part of .he contract where he was required io expend $50,000 per month; new deeds to the subsidy whl.h would enable him to handle the property -without litigation. He gave as his reasons for wanting a reduction In the amount of money to be expended monthly, that It was an Impossibility at certain seasons of the year for one to expend the sum of ;50,000 per month on the work and do It In an economical manner. The re cent changes In the city charter was a sulHclent cause, according to certain legal opinions, for wanting the deedj to date after the amendmed chartei wont Into effect. If the -people of As toria would igrant these changes then work would go ahead and continue until the road Is finished. He consid er. 1 the Seashore road a nlde issue, an-.l .would llrst aim to get transconti nental connection before ta. Ing that proposition up In a serious way. No one In Astoria was more anxious to see the railroad completed than he, and every cent that was expended on the enterprise was so muen dead money until the road was In operation. By wishing the sum to be expend cut down from the original amount agreed upon, did not necessarily mean that less than that sum would be paid out each month, for there would be times When several times $50,000 would be I expended In a month. He thanked his hearers for their careful attention, and sat down. When Mr. Hammond had finished there was a moment of silence, and then Chairman Kinney requested the reflections of the various gentlemen present. Several made brief remarka, and to the point. They considered Mr. Hammond'a proposition as being alto gether reasonable, and one that should meet with the prompt acceptance of the committee. If there had ever been any delay, it should atop now and for ever. Messrs. !H. 'B. Parker, J. Q. A. Bowlby, G. Wlngate, James W. Welch Samuel Elmore. F. J. Taylor, C. R, Thomson, Jno. A. Devlin, and Charles Shlvely. were among the speakers. Af ter this brief discussion, the meeting adjourned -until 2:30 p. m., when It was expected a committee appointed to meet with Air. Hammond's attorneys, Messrs. Strong and Fulton, for the purpose of arranging for a moJitlca. tlon of the contract, as proposed b Mr. Hammond, would report. The committee came in about 3 o'clock and announced that the attor neys were busy ntaking the necessary changes, but It would be late tie-fore the work was completed. Thereupon Mr. Kinney stated that It would be in order from those present to express their views regarding the manner In which the right cf way could most readily be secured and placed In such shape that Mr. Hammond coukl go ahead with the work. Mr. C. R Thom son thought that a guarantee company oould be iacorporated with, sufficient capital to indemnify 3tfr. Hammond in Bocurlife the right of way. He ! thought the capital stock should b J $75,000, which would cover any outlay j necessary In securing the right of way from the terminus or the Seaahort road to Gable. Messrs. F. J. Taylor, II. C. Thompson, B. Vantusen and others talked In the eame strain. Mr. V. K. Warren, when asked by Chair man Kinney Ito express his views on the subject, sal'd he had not had time to give the matter serious thought, but it seemed to him some such plan as suggested by Mr. Thomson would be the most feasible. He thought that through a corporation with the pro posed capital, backed by men of suffi cient standing, the desired end could be reached more rapidly than In any other way. Stock could be Issued, and if the aubscrlbers did not bave tht actual cash, they could deed to the guarantee company a sufficient amount of land to cover their subscription Bald land to be redeemable up to a certain date. He advised the commit tee to act carefully but without delay. Mr. Thomson jeugglesited that the various attorneys of the city be asked to co-operate with Mr. Hammond In securing the right of way, and .that they volunteer their services to that end without pay, and that they pledge themselves not to accept employment in the Interest of any person or cor. poratlon .resisting the condemnation, proceedings for any portion of the right of way. Mr. Taylor made a motion that Mr. Thomson be appoint ed a committee of one to draw up such an agreement, and seaure the signa tures of the attorneys. Mr. Welch seconded the motion and upon being put to a vote It was unanimously car ried. Tht meeting adjourned directly afterward until 10 o'clock this morn ing. Mr. Thomson lost no time in getting his agreement realdy, and up tc a late hour last night had received the signatures of most of the attorneys. Mr. Hammond was seen last even ing by an Astorlan reporter. He had little to say, other than what has al ready been published regarding his in tentions. He is still the same enthu siastic gentleman regarding Astoria's future who left here four months ago for the East with the subsidy con tract in his pocket, and regarding the future of the city he talked freely to the newsgatherer. "The citizens of Astoria can rest assured," he said, "that their seaport is not unheard of in the East; in fact, It seems as familiar a name to the people of the Atlantic coast cities as is any other place on the coast. Tht liulldlng of a railroad to transconti nental connection Is going to attract a large number of people this way, ai.d many of them will be men who will invest money in real estate, if they will not in railroads. Personally, 1 cannot think of a city with brighter prospects before it than has Astoria, and if the people here will pull oft their coats and put their shoulders to the Wheel, the place Is sure to go ahead. Owing I tV (the . unparalleled financial depression It has been a hard struggle to even get the attention of Eastern financiers on the Astorla- Goble project, and I can assure you I met with but little encouragement Predictions of fallura were more of ten expressed by men who are known throughout the land as shrewd finan ciers, but in the face of all this Asto ria shall see her railroad completed. The money that will build th? line comes from the pockets of the bui.d ers, and represents a part of fheii private fortunes." Mr. Hammond has a very warm s. 01 in his heart for Astoria and her po pic He says there is good metal h:iv, am ine now activity will develop it Inu usefulness. He believes tho rfe -pl hero will join hands -with hl:n and galr for Astoria the proud position In the commercial world to which siie right fully belongs. With the citizens unit ed, he thinks there can be nothing turn up that will give Oregon's only seaport a 1-ackset. Industries must be lndu ea to come here and give employment tc the laboring classes and this will be brought about largely by the efforts of the citizens. In speaking of Mr. J C. Stanton, Mr. Hammond paid that the ieople of Astoria should feel gi-ale ful to him for the manner In which he has worked for the success of the rail road. For two years he has done noth ing 'but talk of Astoria and try ana bring the raiiiroad scheme before cap Itallsts ,who might be Induced to Invest their money In the enterprise. His whole existence seemed to dwell In this project, and it has been the one am bition of the declining years of thlf man that Astoria should have, rail road connection with fhe outside world. Mr. Hammond will probably spend a greater part of the time In Astoria with his family during the construe, t'.on of the railroad, and later may make this city his permanent resi dence. Today the committee will meet at 10 o'clock, at which time it is expected some plan will be adopted for securing the right of way. Mr. Hammond Is prepared to meet ail options and was ready yesterday to take up the Go-ble survey, which called for a payment of 514.00J, only that the rights haa Dy the Joule Company had expired over a ydr ag-o by limitation, hence there re mained nothing to transfer. There need be but little de'ay if the commit tee get down to work and this It Is expected they will do. C. R. F. P. UNION NOTICE. .
