THE DETROIT RIVER &ATEWAY
?ery( Interesting Fig-area of Ship
plng and Tonnage of Large Lake
Steamers and Sail Craft.
Apropos of the Deep Waterways Con
vention, the Chicago Tribune presents
some interesting statistics of the com
merce of the lakes, a commerce 00 vast
that there fa. a a distance from the
lakes, a general failure to apprehend its
extenL-
The commerce of the current year, rt ts
estimated, will amount to 46,000,000 tone,
worth $640,000,000, an Increase of 9,000,000
tons and 1100,000,000 over last year. The
value of this commerce per ton Is In
creasing1, the advance from 1602 to ISM
being from $12.00 to $16. Chicago, Buffalo,
Toledo, Superior, Duluth, MlVwaukoe and
Detroit have a -wheat storage capacity of
104,000,000 bushels, ft'hioh Is 7,600,000 more
titan the wheat storage capacity of New
York, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
AUbany, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Kansas
City, Peoria, St. Louis, Galveston, Minne
apolis, Toronto, and Montreal. Oraln,
coal. Iron ore and lumber make up 80
per cent of the business of the rail roads
bordering on the lake. '
There are on the lake 8,341 vessels of
more than 300 tons each, Wiving an aggre
gate burden of 12,274,000 tons, and of these
say. are Steamers of over 1,000 tons each,
Having altogether a tonnage of 656,774.
The cargoes carried by lake vesele lac
year amounted to one-Uiird as much as
the freights camled toy all the railroads
of Who country. In title past five yeans 87!

Through. It Vast year paset" 52.700 vessels
iwttih a tonnage of 32,000,000; and through
the St. Mary's canal passed nearly 16,000
veselS of a tonnage of ,Jbove 13,000,000.
The lake fleet represents) an Investment
Of 876,000,000 and the piers and docks
$8,000,000. There were launched at Chlea
go th4i, year two steel Steamers of 8,000
tons, ana other steamers of nearly that
size are in commission, while larger
steamers are in process Of construction.
At 'tfhe pout of Chicago the arrivals and
clearances numbered 16,708 vessels, of
10,392,420 tons, and there iwas shipped from
cmic&go toy lake 68,000,000 bushels of grain
and 1,630,346 tolarers of flour, end there
were enormous receipts of lumber from
the Northwest and coal and salt from
the East, while ore was received for the
Chicago lamd Joliet furnaces, and the
stock of lumber on hand at the opening
of navigation this year exceeding 400.COO.000
feet, exclusive of lath, and shiinglea
The tonnage of vessels owned In Cleve
land 'has Increased In ten years from
91,000 to 250,000, and the Iron Interests
of 'this port and its vicinity have been
expanding. Immensely. last year the re
ceipts of ore approached two million
tons and kibe tihipmen'ts of coal exceeded
one imillllon tons. Buffalo ranks as the
greatest flour port in the world and the
second largest grain port, and last year
two and a half million tons of coal were
shipped. The lumber receipts were 240.000,
000 feet. DulutYs flour shipments have
tnoreaeied from next to nothing to more
than 8,000,000 barrels In ten years, and that
port has a single ore dock, or more prop
erly ore pier, on which 67,200 tons of
one can be stored and at Which a vessel
ran be loaded In half an hour. Other
docks at Thiluth will carry 350,000 tons
of ore and 126,000,000 feet of lumber. The
growth of the neighboring port of Su
perior has been even more rapid than
that of 'Du'uUl Bay City and the neigh
borhood sl-fpped last year 4il.000,000 feet
of lumber and Bay City Uocif contains
one of the largest steel shipbuilding yards
In the world.
The total of the lake chipping business
includes besides these Items the com
merce of Eticanuba and Marquette, Mil
waukee, Port Huron, Toledo, 8andusky
Ashtabula and Brie, besides the minor
ports, which contribute a good deal to the
grand total.
INCREASE OF FREIGHT.
Good Thermometer of the General Busi
ness Situation.

An Astorlan representative yesterday
interviewed a number of business men
and visited the freight docks to gain
seme inforlmu'tlon Iti regard to the status
of general business. The results were
quite t'iprlsing end most satisfactory.
At this esason there la usually a large
falling off In the receipts of freight as
well as In shipments out, but this year
there te not only about twice the amount
of frefeftrt being received every day, that
there was at this season last year, but
there Is really an increase over the sum
mer receipts. The docks are piled with
goods awaiting delivery, and .newcomers
with their household effects are frequent
arrivals
Messrs. Ross, Higgins & Co. are doing
a larger business than at th's season last
year, and Foard It Stokes and several
other merchants report an Increase in
trade. Mr. Bdhiebe, the cigar manufac
turer, says that his business has largely
Increased over what It was this time last
year.

ARMENIAN SITUATION.
Fightful Condition of Turttlrii Prisons
Revealed by Released Prisoners.
- Constantinople, via - Sofia, Bulgaria,
Nov. 20. The sis representatives of the
powers held a conference yesterday to
(Kscusa certain supplementary measures
which will be recommended to the Forte
for the restoration of order In Asia Mln.
or, and it is understood that some form
of common action for the protection of
foreigners is pending.
The police are not making so many ar
rests today and a number of Armenians
have been released' from the different
prisons whm they have been confined
for some time-past. The reason given for
their unexpected release is that the po
lice have not been able to find evidence
against them which, would Justify their
further Incarceration. - The prisoners
made the most startling statements as to
their treultment white in custody and tell
horrible tales of the flMlhy and overcrowd
ed condtttoirs of the Turkish) prisons.
They say they were given barely enough
food to keep body and soul together, and
that they iwera beaten and otherwise tor.
tiured In order to compel them to betray
what they knew of the organlation of the
Ammenlan revolutionary committee. But,
they add, all efforts to make them traitors
were In vain, .. J '
Some of the Qualifications Oar
New Mayor Should Possess.
Progress Says He li Going to Vote
for the Best and Brainiest Candi
date in the Field.
Editor Astorkan: In your paper of the
17th a vigorous correspondent has a com
munication headed "Our Next Mayor,"
which is quite suitable and to tine point.
There has always been a feeling amongst
the votem that any one iwou.d do for
mayor, as long as he was a goody kind
of fellow and ran with the boya. Our
next mayor should, whether Cltisen or
Republican, be a man with peculiar busi
ness qualifications fitting him for the
petition, a parson that 1 would be proud4
of the oflice amd would devote a great
portion of his time to the city; a man
of integrity, Hhorouglhily interested in the
welfare and growth of Astoria, not Inter
ested in booming some other townslte.
We want to elect a man iwitih progressive
ideas, with all his interests centered In
the town, who would be persistent in
urging necessary Improvements upon the
council. A man In favor of good and
sufficient streets, In favor of substantial
and permanent city buildings, in favor of
-xxl and adequate public parks, where
CT labor) miff people eouM amuse them
selves on holidays and other times. A
man In favor of a substantial! depot and
sufficient terminals for all purposes with-
1 their own city lvmita and not else
where; one that will keep a general su
pervision of the city In mind. In acord
atvee with chapter t, section 40, of Ihe
charter of the oily of Astoria, which
reaxis as follows: - "The mayor Is the
executive of the municipal corporation,
and, as such, must exercise a careful
supervision over its general .affair and
subordinate officers, and fie that the
taws relating to the city and the ordi
nances and regulations of the council are
enforced. It is his luty annually, at
the regular meeting of the council ap
pointed by this act, to communicate by
message to the council a general state
ment of the condition of afra'ri of the
municipal corporation and to recommend
the adoption of such measures ss le may 1
deem expedient and proper, and to make
sudh special communications to the
council rrom time to time as he may
thtok proper and useful." You can tee
by this section 0 the Charter what the
duty of the mayor Is. Has th's been
done?) If so, the special message has
never arpeared in the reports of he pro
ceedings of 4lhe council as printed by our
papers. The recommendations of the
mayor in writing sWould accompany every
fmprovemonr made or contempHated by
the city council. Now, Mr. Editor, let
such a man as I have described be nomi
nated for mayor, and I will support him
as a matter of policy iwhether he be
friend or foe, as I am. of ihe Opirfon ihnt
a mayor can detract or make our cHy in
the nest year or two, W surely w.int
a man who is mterWed -with us, alive
and op' with the times. . - Nature- has
surely done much for A-Htnrla. In my
Judgment It remains for us to do
rest, dive us a mayor that will attend
every meeting of hs council and by Ms
wisdonv and aonos inaiut Attorta what
ioa mtenoetl sms should be, th principal
city and sssport srth of San Franc sco.

Talks Freely of His Book and
. Politics. .
THE CAMPAIGN OF 1888 DISCUSSED
How He was Beaten for President-
Does Not Agree With Carlisle on
the Honey Question.
New York, Nov. 30. Senator Sliermas',
of Ohio, talked freely to a reporter today
In retrain! .to his recently published book
and other 'matters. He said In part:
"I iwouldi like to read Air. Piatt's answer
to what I solid concerning the national
convention of 1S88," he said, in reply to
a question.
"The fact Is, I deolre to know just what
hi explanation will be. It would be In
teresting to me. Personally I have noth
ing against him, and what I stated In the
book 'was without malice and merely in
troduced as a matter of history."-
"Have you seen Mr. Piatt slne you
arrived?"
"I saw hrm at a distance only."
The senator stated that he met ex
President Harrison and Warner Miller.
He added that Mr. Miller came to his (the
senator's) room last evening and they
talked over many incidents of the con
vention of 1888. Mr. Miller's recollection
of the events tallied with the senator's.
"Tho New York delegation," added
Shbrman, "had a banquet on the Saturday
before the convention of 1888,- and tufter
Senator Miller had made a epeeoh they
all agreed to support mre. I received a
telegram to that effect. Sunday Inter
vened and in the meantime Elklns end
other friends of Harrison got Piatt to
agree to vote for him on the first tultot
Monday. The result it known. I have
no charges to make against Mr. Harrison,
and our relations era pleasant. Whatever
pargulln or promises his friends may huve
made, he did not sanction them, beacjse
h absolutely refused to appoint Piatt
secretary of the treasury. Prom sjs may
have been made in regard to the federal
patronage of this state, and that I should
not criticize. Mr. Piatt's men, I believe,
received prominence, notably In the col-
lectorshlp. The acme of Mr. Piatt's am
bition seems to be to hold the portfolio
of the secwetary of the treasury."
Senator Sherman, speaking of Secreta
ry- Carlisle's speech at the Chamber of
Commerce last night, toxlay said:
"The basic error of the speech was the
seoretary's Idea that legul tenner could
'be done away with entirely. It could not
be done.
"The great mistake was in tho way the
administration had tampered with the
gold reserve. It should have iemied chonl
bonds of, five years' duration, which, the
people here would have taken up quick
ly, alt 3 per cent, and with this patfd the
expenses of tfhe government instead of
entrenching upon the gold reserve. The
short bonds, of course, would have been
paid for in leguJ tender. Instead of doing
this, the adimilnlstration had permitted
some domestic and foreign bankers to
clear $11,000,000 toy eeMIng bonds for gold
at 4 per cent. Carlisle's plan of laet
nlehlt ds Impracticable. There o 3,000
national banka, and It would not do in
crder to have currency to take the gold
of 'the treasury and scatter it around In
there banks to redeem money that had
been Issued by these banks."
He a4d he dUl not know whether tne
Republicans would be able to organise the
senate. When it came 'to an issue in
regard to money he thought the host
would be aguilnst tho West. As long s
Cleveland iwas president, he raid, thare
would be no fjlver legislation because
he favored sound money.

THE BATTLE GROUND.

Fight.
Dolla, Tex., 'Nov. 20. Dan Stuart re
turned front El Paso this morning. To a
reporter he said:
"There Is very little talking to do th's
time. I will say, however, that I have
selected the battle ground for the Corbet

Squire addressed a meeting of -business
men this morning at the CUamber of
Commerce. Speaking on river and har
bor improvements he said:
"The congressmen representing the
'Evergreen' state will all work gealouely

more than her Share of appropriations,
one-iha'.if of which are chargeable to
Washington, along the Coluunbla river.
Oregon cities and people only have been
aided by these apparoprteJtlons) This
state receives no benefit whatever from
traffic down the Columbia river and It
will work to divert a fair amount of
favors to harbors on the coast and the
Sound."
Senator Squire Is chairman of the sen
