A Occupation of Port ofCorinto by Great Britain. ANOTHER BRITI8H TRICK. Englands Attitude Toward Nicara gua's Proposal of Settlement Will Determine Her Stneerety, ' Associated Press. Washington, April 30. Senator Mor gan, of Alabama, In an Interview on the Nlcaraguan situation today, char acterized the Insult to Consular Agent Hatch "the flimsiest kind of a pre text," on the part of Great Britain and said It a private Individual would suffer damages on such a case, he would foe laughed out of court. He bad no criticism to pass on the admin istration, because, he said, he pre sumed the administration had taken proper steps to prevent Great Britain from obtaining a foothold on Nlcara guan territory. "But if It has not," he added, "the next congress will, even If Great Britain must be driven oft the continent at the potart of the bayonet." He added he did not. think the canal project would be endangered by the present complications. f He said: "This case has gone far beyond the Monroe doctrine; this la distinctly Us own, and that rests upon higher grounds than any doctrine or any treaty ever made or enunciated. The United States and the governments of Nicaragua and Costa Rica have entered Inito a solemn compact with each other looking to the construction of this great mari time highway; a company, composed mostly of citizens of the United States, has organized and started Its work. "Now comes Great Britain with the domineering spirit of aggression that has marked her course throughout the history of modern times, and upon the sllmeet of pretexts and most absurd of excuse,, makes a demand upon the goveromenft of Nicaragua that Bhe does not expect to he complied with and all In the hope that through the default of the weaker government she will be enabled to establish a sover eignty over the territory and thus control the future development of the oanal and of the traffic that must pass through It. Somebody must step In and be disagreeable, and this seems to be a very good opportunity for the United -Sates to assume that role." FOR REVENUE ONLY. The Chinese Smuggling Organization at Boise City. Washington, April SO.-Secretary of the Treasury Carlisle received from Special Agents Johnston and Beane at Boise City, Idaho, a report of the re sults of their Investigation In alleged frauds In connection with the entry of Chinese Into this country. The re port states the . Investigation shows conclusively there had been for sev eral years past an organized money making conspiracy with a view of manufacturing certificates upon which Chinese laborers may be enabled to visit China and return to the United States as bona fide merchants. In a majority of the. cases so -called mer chants were found to be cooks, and gardeners employed In or near Boise City. Nevertheless a large number of prominent citizens vouched for the Chinese as merchants. The special agervts are convinced that the business has been carried on as a money-making scheme.

Sunday was one of the ideal spring days warm, bright sunshine awaken Ing new animal and vegetable life on all sides.. The loud notes Of Innumera ble birds denoted their glad return to old haunts, whilst Ithey flitted to and fro amongst the blossoming trees and flowers. AH seemed In harmony with smiling nature. Careworn people for got tihelr trials for the time being and enjoyed to the full the glorious day and, like the Irishman, seemed .thank ful above all things that good weather had been gdven. From the top of Coxcomb Hill , the afternoon dreamer had a magnificent view. In the 'blue fcaae of distance, to the north across the smooth waters of the bay, dotted with innumerable white sails, glistening In the sunshine, is the little lumbering town of Knappton, from which could be seen the light, curling smoke from the firesides of the hard working mill men and fishers. A lltltle further to the left the bald heights of Scarborough Hill stand like a sentinel over Baker's Bay, while to the extreme west, Cape Hancock guards the entrance to the great Col umbla river, and, beyond, the restless waves of th.;pMUc glimmer in the far distance. Glancing- along the BoulBhern shore the observer notices the government Jetty's long line extending out Into the Ocean, a protecting arm to Insure the safety of the great vessels of commence, and nearer stlU old Fort Stevens can be seen, long since aban doned, now tlhe government contract- ors' Jheadquarters. Nearlng- Young's Bay,ithe settlements of Warrenton and Sklpanon are plainly visible, while up the bay toward the south is seen the Lewis and Clarke river. To the rear and south Young's river valley with Its green fields and farm houses makes a pleasing change In the picture. Away to the southeast the peak of Saddle mountain completes the setting of a naawr'be-forg-often painting of na ture, in all the lights and shade of a spring day's coloring. Immediately at the observer' feet Is the thriving city,, (te long line of dock and wharves, extending rom Tongue point around to Young's Bay, like a frame to a picture, forming the outer enclosure of the city, within which the substantial business blocks, warehouses and beautiful home at test the solidity and enterprise of As toria. In Imagination can be teen the great ship and steamer from all parts of the world anchored In the magnificent harbor, or alongside the docks, dis charging and receiving cargo; the wheat of the Willamette Valley; the timber, lumber and shingles from the great Nehalem Valley timber preserves and flour for the Orient are being load ed Into the waiting vessels, while the alike, teas and spices of the Oriental joulltriea, and merchandise from Eu rope and our own Atlantic seaboard are received tor distribution through che ideal port of the Columbia. On the land, the transcontinental train arrive and depart over the new rail road, bringing the lower Columbia riv er and the Nehalem Valley Into direct communication with the rest of the state a well as the other Pacific Coast and the Eastern states. Along the waterfront huge elevators, flour mills, aw mills, and factories add their busy hum to the general pros perity, while dower down, the new dry doak offers the beet facilities for buikling and repairing the largest ships In the world. In the city Itself new buslnens blocks, hotels, stores and residences provide ample means for the rabidly increasing population and busi ness. This is the picture of the future As toria and her progressive and enter, prising people are not going to lose the only buslnesllke proposition ever pre sented to Insure Its realization.

A prominent merchant, who is a large contributor, states that it is pre sumptuous, not to say riuiculous, to Imagine that the people will take any chances of losing all these advantages now within their grasp, even though times are hard. The accomplishment of the building of the railroad Is what will speedily restore good times to this section of the country, at least. The Aetoria-Goble railroad is the key that will open the door of prosperity. not only for Astoria and the Columbia river valfley, but (Portland and its bus iness houses, and the state at large, will attain the one means that will place them in an unassailable position In the world's commerce, FOUR SCHOONERS BAR BOUND.
