Mr. Stuart says that matters In the valley ar In Al con dition, and considerable Internet Is being manifested In Astoria real estate. Val ley people are looking 'orward to con nection with th future Astoria. A conversation between well known business men was overheard yesterday, In which the suggestion was thrown out that on of the reasons why capital seem- ed a little shy of th Pacific Coast Just Bom WM ,n, fact ,nat previous Invest ments In this territory had turned out so disastrously. One gentleman said that the large business blocks In Tacoma Seattle and Portland were not paying the Interets on the cost of construction. Many structures are In the hands of receivers and the present agitation of war topics, the approach of the general election, and the tariff question' had a tendency to unsettle business. Just the same the cities have the buildings, and better times will be brought about In the near future by the goo-i sense of the people. Seattle I already feeling a decided Improvement, but Tacoma and Portland are still suffering from lack of business, till Southern California points are having quite a boom. An Eastern traveling man said that Astoria was the best town he had visited, for Its popula tion, on the coast, and that It was bound to receive a large share of foreign Invest ments, hard times or no hard times. If all that he learned was true In regard to the railroad projectors' plana NOTICE TO WATER CON8UMER3.

Th Astorian' special rorrespon lent In Honolulu sends the folliwl-ig lat ad Vices by the Rhoslna. The news con cernlng th Baltimore Is of very pnat In terest a many fears nav lately been ix preeae.1 for her safety. The l"nltd States steamship I'.aitliper arrived on th 3.1. tweaiynine days trum Yokohama. Th . r ilser left Voitoh tm on th Jl. and when three days out struck on of th most lerrltlc gales ever encountered al sea. Although tne war ship labored hard md was tossed like a cork on the saves rolling mountain .iluh, ah managed to pas through .he storm a 1th but Utile damage. Another, and If anything, a harl.T blow was eneotin leted. which kept up for full six days. Th ship behaved well tin ier the steady blow, but at times II eemr. almost Im possible lo weather th storm. The Baltimore presented a somewhat battered appearan.-e, with her boat smashed, rictiing torn, an.l other evidence of having passed through a critical alrK On the way aer a boatsaaln named J"S sen was washed overtoard by a series of waves that swept the decks contln i msly during the Hrst gale through wh!-:h the Baltimore passed. The guns rad to be removed from the lur.ets. with th can non from forward, and deck machinery placed below. During the second blow J. Cooper. carpentr of the ship, was thrown about th tick and had his skull badly fractured: several others wer more or les Injure I. but none seriously. Il was necessary to keep th hatches fast down for ten days, during which time the boats were dashed from their positions, and, though badly smashed. were not swept away, owing to the mos herculean ehorts of the crew. On th arrival of th vessel '"arpMicr Cooper was taken to a hospl' il. He died the same day. The schooner Henrietta, Captain An derson, from Victoria, waa capturnl on the list with lilO tins of opium. The captain ami crew have been arrested lor violating the opium law. Tiesldes Cap tain W. B. Anderson, th crew of th Henrietta Is composed of thro ahlte men Mlk Connel, W. Wheel-r. J. II. Brown, and Ho Wal (Chinese cook), and C. E. Gale, who claims to be a i.4.4Seni;er. When the officers iearch"d the schooner no log could he found, and no cl-arance papers. It Is thought these wre de stroyiu In order to prevent the name of the port from which she ailed b. coming known in event of rapture. Tr.e h.alth bill, however, showed thnt the s-hooner cleared from Victoria, H C, on Nnveir. ber 7. the destination sworn to as Iji Pas. Mexico. Captain And-rson told the officers that h had been among the Isl ands for about two weeks. The cargo of the schoiner was found to be forty boxes of opium, packed in oblong packages, containing alout 1.4") pounds. It was placed In the vault of th custom house. Th manifest of. the Henrietta calls for Identically the same amount of opium as was shipped some time ago by the gi. ernment to R. P. Rllhet at Victoria, but was packed In new containers. Whin the schooner waa searched vm gallons of water and a full store of provisions were found. J. K. Sheridan an.l Dr. J. Underwood, the two strangers who were recently ar rested for conplraev. have been com mitted for trial v I" n rt ball. Paul Neu man. th lawyer, an.l F. H. Hasrlden were the principal witnesses for the prosecution. The two prisoners had a scheme to re store the queen. For doing so they were to obtain a concession for an American sporting syndicate. Th gamblers In tended to start a lottery In this country. Money enough to Ins ire the success of the conspiracy would be furnUhed If the queen granted the franchise. They would land arms and men at both ends of Oahu, and would move to Honol tin. THE DEFAULTER. Presented to a Small Audience at Fish er's Opera House. Last evening Lincoln J. Carter's new play, 'The Defaulter." was presented to a small, but appreciative audience, at Fisher's Opera House. The performance was excellent throughout, and the house should have been crowded. There are eighteen members In the company, and they play?d their parts lo perfection. Mr. Charles Horn, nsOustavc Eppendlly Brown, made a number of de cided hits In his specialties, his rendl'lon of "What Could the Poor Girl Dof re celvlng much applause. Miss Ella V. Brown, as Julie, and Mijs Mamie Kb rle. as Mlllcent Holm, both "vere well re ceived and the other members played their parts equally as well. It is Indeed a shame that the ieople of Astoria do not patronize this place cf amusement, as Manager lieggs has made every effort to bring good plays to the city. If the play had the house It deserved, the building would have been packed. PURSUED BY A DEMON.
