Committees do Splendid Work ftn3 Citizens Respond as Minute Men of Old Other News. - A. time goes on, and as the people have come to understand the whole situation, to the disappointment of certain croak ers, they have come forward nobly to meet the crisis of the situation and win a battle for the establishment of the permanent prestige of the port of Ore gon In the front ranks of the world and the development of the unlimited wealth of the entire Northwest tributary to the Columbia river outlet.

The Astorlan says let tne gooa worn go on, and the world will Boon see that "good can come out of Nazareth." WHAT DO THEY MEAN? Receiver McNeill and Attorney Simon Need Watching Some Plain Facts. . Astoria, May 4th, 1855. To the Editor: It Is gratifying to see how our own peo ple are coming to the front o help out the committee who are laboring with all their might and main to get matters In shape for Mr. Hammond to get to work on the Goble road. There Is one. matter,, however. In connection with the right of way, which should be called to tne at tention of the people of Astoria, and especially to our merchants and ship pers, and to the common council, who may be asked to netp the committee out In the future, and I write this" more to call the attention of our people to the matter, that they may observe the course pursued by certain parties, who, while they make many pretentions of friend ship for Astoria, and assert their willing ness to do the "doar people" a kindness, are, nevertheless, apparently placing ob stacles in our way. I refer to - the O. R. and N. Co. When Mr. Fulton went to see Mr. Mc Neillj the receiver, at Portland,, the lat ter Informed the former that he was wil ling to do all In his power to assist the Astoria railroad project. ' He said he did not think the building, of the road through the company's .property would be any damage to It; butthat as he was a receiver, representing other' parties; he thought condemnation proceedings should be brought. Application was then made to the United State, court (Judge Bel linger presiding), asking that the railroad company be allowed to bring an action, in the state ceurt, In this county, to con demn a light -of way through the com pany's property at thla place. When the time for hearing the application arrived, Mr. McNeill very discreetly staid away from the court; -but the Hon, Jos. Elmnn, who Is one of the attorneys for the Far mers' Loan and Trust Company, who are the trustees of the bondholders, appeared and objected to the matter being tried In the state courts, and Insisted that 'th case Bhould be tried In the United States court at Portland. I am Informed that the said Jos. Simon has sail that re did not Intend to appear and make any de fense on the part of his clients whi n the case came on for hearing In the' condem nation proceedings; but that Mr. McNeill represented his , clients In that matter, and that ' whatever McNeill agreed to would be all right. Now If Jos. Simon Is not going to de fend for 'his clients, ' then why is It Im portant to him where the case should be tried? If , McNeill does not want dam ages, why does he not consent to the case being tried here, where It can be tried at much less coat to our people? It looks very much as If McNeill was giv ing us taffy on the one hand,- and nghting us, with Jos. Simon, on -the other. I understand that Mr. McNeill .ays that the persons who are circulating the re port that he la opposing ue nd the construction of the road, are Interested In' rival steamboat companies. I did be lieve for a time that such was the case; but I am almost beginning to believe thone persons know what they are -talking about, and that they are telling the truth when they say that ' McNeill Is throwing even' obstacle in the way of the building of the road t!;s.t he can. Tt behooves our people to watch not onlj McNeill, but also Jos Simon, and they can rest assured that there will be no real difference between Jos. and McNeill, however matters may appear on the sur face. If Mr. McNeill were in earnest In his professed desire to help us, he would de termine where he wants the road to pass through the company's property; but this he neglects doing, and hi conduct In this espect Is causing us delays. I am not Interested In any rival steamboat lines; but It behoove, the people of Astoria to know who their friend, are, and If Mr. McNeill and hi. friends and his com pany want to oppose us In this matter, we of Astoria should, to a man, oppose living his steamboats one : pound of freight, or one passenger from the town, or, In fact, from the county. There Is one steamboat company whose stockhold ers and officer, work unceasingly for the building of the road, and It Is time for tstorla to know who her friend, are, and patronize them. I say, watch both Mr. McNeill and the Hon. Jos. Simon, and If either one of them make, opposl. tlon to u. In any way, don't fall to un derstand that there Is a thorough under standing between them. McNeill was ap pointed receiver at the instance of Jo seph's clients, and they are working in harmony. The suggestion made through your col umns a few days ago, to the effect that the committee would endeavor to have Mr. Hammond refuse to locate a depot at any place along the line where we are compelled to purchase or. condemn a right of way Is a good one, and the same principle should be applied 10 the trans portation lines. Patronize your friends, and those who patronize you, is a good doctrine. RIGHT OF WAV. THE BEHRINO SEA FLEET. Port Townscnd, May 4. The final sail.

Death and Desolation Mark the path Where the Whirling: Storm i ; :.,Clond: Traveled. j I 1 i Associated Press. . - Sioux City, la,, May 4-At least fifty two people are believed to have been kill ed In the terrific cyclone that, passed over this part of Iowa yesterday afternoon.-- Some persons estimated the death roll at 200 to 800. Telegraph wires, are down and authentic Information la- hard to get. Three school houses are known to have been 'demolished; two teachers and several pupils and nearly a score of others killed, and many : buildings have been wrecked. Those known to be dead or mlsBlng are: " ' Mamie 8, Haggle, ' and five brothers, killed near Sioux Centre. . Mrs. John Kerster, near Sioux Centre, her child blown away and not yet found. Anna Marsden, and a brother of Anna, a teacher In another school, near Iron ton. Charles Marsden, killed near Sioux Cen ter. ----- Mrs. Post, killed near Slous Centre. Rudolph Schwerdeeger, aged 21, killed by lightning near Southerland. Peter Slimmer, killed In a house near Laurens by lightning. Two children of A. B. Coombs, killed near Sioux Centre. - Mrs. John Waterman, killed near Sib ley, Child of A. Verhoft, killed near Sioux Centre. John Patterson. Wm. Dudrlchs. Mrs. R. W.- Smith. G. F. Balling. Mrs. Hermann Bellkemps and two chll. dren. Anna Holslngton.' Bertha Doonberg. H. G. Nelderfrank. . M. F.' Hoyt. J. Jamison, Besides the above a number are injur ed, some fatally. A curious feature of the cyclone was the accompaniment of electric violence, and many deaths by lightning are report. Sioux Centre, Colton, Orange City, Perkins, Doon, Hall, Sheldon, Ashton, Sibley and Lemars were almost directly In the path of- the Icy clone. The cyclone was followed by a furious rain storm which had not abated liaiUttrll- hour this morning. Nu merous victims were found lodged in trees where theyhad been hurled by the storm. Where had stood fine buildings were left a few . twisted timbers, while strewn all over the ground were portions of buildings and furniture bearing not the least . resemblance to- the original form, and useless except for kindling. The fields of sprouting grain are now bare, trees uprooted and all is desola tion along the path of the cyclone. A pitiful feature of the disaster I. the number of youthful Uvea crushed out. Three school houses near Sioux Centre were destroyed while the school was in progress and each three to ten children were killed or Injured. - Many children were ' carried from a quarter to half a mile before they were dropped. Two lit tle daughters of John Koster, a farmer near Bloux Centre, were picked up when leaving the school house, dashed against a wire fence and both killed. Two sons of C. H. Haggle, at the same schoolhousa had their legs broken and received fatal Injuries,. EUROPEAN NEWS BUDGET. Engllsnmen Are Suspicious of American Horse Jockeys. London May 4, The way Americans are running their horses here has begun to arouse criticism which promises to In rease. It Is Impossible to ascertain In advance what horse they intend to run In any event. The Sporting Times today says: The Americans played a bold game in entering a horse like Banquet to be sold for 200 pounds. Four thousand pounds went on him and a good thing came off in fine style. He was bought In for 700 pounds and It is said would not have been sold for twice that amount The punge on Banquet was the talk of the day as we have become unaccus tomed to such heavy betting. We can not eay we welcome this return to the sort of racing which has always been held to be vicious. The object of selling races Is defeated when for gambling purposes a horse Is entered for sale at one-tenth of his value with the Intention to rebuy him at whatever cost. From all we can hear the Americans have not yet played their cards. , M". Putney Blgelow has been elected a member of the Council of the Royal Society of Literature. He Is the first American to be so honored. There seems -to be little doubt that China and Japan have both ratified the treaty of Shlmonoskl, which complicates the position of the European protesting powers, At the request of the Associated Press Putney Blgelow. who has exceptional mean, of obtaining political Information, especially In Germany, has written the following: "Japan may be blurted into surrender. Ing soma . of her claim., but her true Interest, lie In fighting Russia at once white her army and navy are In good condition and she can do so with the greatest ease. It, would take a year be fore the Russian, could put an army of 100,000 men In the field near Vladivostok. Russia alone cannot subdue Japan, In spite of her army of 800,000 men and her many Cossacks, and Germany can help her only with fair words, for the relch tag won't vote money for war In the East, seeing that the only profit will fall to Russia. France Is wise enough to feel much the same way. The hatred felt by Franca and Germany against England Is not yet quite so strong as tha-t felt iy each for the other. John Dull and Unci. Sam can afford to stand i Highest of all in Leavening by and say: 'Let the plucky Japannre take all he han cold: he will make in finitely better usef It than either Chir,! has done or Russia can do.' " DARING JAIL BREAK. Three Prisoners Escape, and Are Killed by the Sheriff. Woodward. O. T.. May 4. A bold Jnll break followed by the killing of the es caped convicts, and the seriously wound ing of Officer Wolfort, occurred this af ternoon. About 1 o'clock Prisoners Hill, Waddell and Heffen, the .first two con fined for liberating prisoners about a month ago, secured a gun and forced the guard to open the cage. They armed themselves with Winchesters In the house and started for the hills. Sheriff Odin summoned a number of deputies and gave chase. Within a mile of town the con victs were overtaken. They were afoot, while their pursuers were well mounted and escape was impossible. A demand to surrender, however, was answered with a volley from the convicts, who had taken refuge behind a large rock. This was the signal for general firing, which was kept up sharply on both sides fcr fully half an hour .Officer, Ben Wol fort received a bullet through the arm and Officer Prior's horse was shot from under him. A. soon as Prior1, animal fell, the officer, scattered and surrounding the rock poured shot after shot Into the convlcta. At the first volley, which was given In concert, H1U and Heffen 'were made to bite the dust, and soon Waddell who had laid flat on the ground gladTy surrendered. 1 PREPARING FOR TROUBLE. Several Virginia Military Companies Go to Graham. Roanoke, Vs., May: 4.--In accordance with order, from Richmond the follow ing military company passed through here this morning en route to Graham: Two detachments of Richmond Howit zers,; with two Galling guns and 5,000 rounds of ammunition; Montlcello Guards of ' Charlottesville; Lynchburg Home Guards. They were Joined by the Roa noke Light Infantry and Machine Works Guards, and It. was understood that the Jeff Davis Rifles of Salem and the mili tary company of Radford would get aboard the train.. The receivers of the Norfolk and Western Road have had no tice for the. recent Injunction granted by Judge Jackson was Intended for use In the coal regions. It ptates the com pany is In the hand, of the United States court, and warn, all persons at their peril not to Interfere with the prop erty or traffic of that company. The officials of that company regard Sunduy as a critical day and all preparations seem to have been taken with a view of preventing trouble on that day at Po cahontas. - THE FAIR ESTATE WHEAT, The Losses Will Be 'Enormous oh the ". ; ..'.; I t 'J 800,004 "Toiuu.... . San Francisco, jfayX-Slncethe 170,000 tons of wheat still stored at Port Cnsta reputedly belonging to the James G. Fair ; estate has been offered for sale, the lo cal wheat market has been badly de moralized. ' It Is now stated that the .yn dlcate of shippers who chartered all the available deep water vessels, has agreed to put the bulk of the Fair wheat, and that the large milling concerns have also agreed to take a good slice, thus virtually disposing of the lot. It Is said the losses on the 200,000 tons will not be less than $10 a ton on the original purchase price, with storage, Insurance, commissions and Interest added. The storage bill alone amounts to $300,000 for the two years past, and has been paid. It Is thought that those who have managed thla big wheat deal will be In court for strict . account of all operations connected with the speculation. THEO. DURRANT MOVED.
