tteutlon ahowa, however, that they are
only partially true. It la prubuhly a fact
that where piles are driven along the

the current of the river, Juat In front
of the city, la very swift, and It la es
timated by the engineers, that It Is too
swift to allow any quantity ot sand to
gather along the piles driven out to the
harbor line. In any event It has been
well known for some time that In order
to make auch a harbor here aa will be
neceeenry to accommodate the Increased
hipping which will naturally reault from
the completion of the plana for the area I -
tr Aatorbt, It will be Imperative to do
some dredging In the channel and about
the harbor, eifmllng the width of th.
channel towards the north. The recent
dlncovertea. made by President Curtis,
while driving test piles along the water
front, are of the moat valuable nature,
tie found that It waa nece saury In order
to r-arh bottom, and plant th. pile, for
the railroad firmly, to use atlck. seventy
feet long, as the first layer on the river
bed. la a aoft, enndy formation ot many
feet In depth before solid ground Is reach
ed. Mr. Curtis says that an ordinary
Kowers dredger, at comparatively little
expense, can pump out thla soft material
and deepen and widen the chan
nel and harbor with the greatest
ease. The material could be used In
filling up underneath the present wharves
and streets, being pumped In with no
expense for handling. It would cost not
a very great sum to build a temporary
seawall of piles to hold the material bark
and In later years a regulation seawall.
might be constructed, it is apparent to
nil that something of the kind must be
done. There Is not room enough at the
foot of the hll . for the hualnesa purposes
of the city, and not only are the present
streets built on plies a necessity, but
tho wharvea must be extended out to the
harbor tine to accommodate the business
that will lie offered during tho next few
years. To nrgue to the contrary Is only
to say that the present piles along the
city frontage and two streets should bo
torn up and abandoned In order to let
the channel run Its natural course
The wholo proposition Is one to be
considered from puroly a business stand
point. Even admitting that the exten
sion of the wharves to tho harbor line
eetubllshed by the I'nlted States engin
eers would result In more or less filling
up the channel In and around the piling,
It remains an incontrovertible fact that
tho wharves are necessary; that the
channel would havo to be widened ulti
mately under any circumstances, and
that the business of the future city will
more than Justify the contemplated Im
provements. It Is thought, however, by
those who are In a position to Judge,
and who are not Influenced by looal con
siderations, that tho building of the
wharves out to the harbor lino will not
rauc any material nddltionnl filling In
of the channel along the city frontage.
The ourrent of the river Is too swift to
make much of a deposit along the line
established by the engineers. Kven were
it so, the experience of all other large
ports goes to show that these difficulties
have be.?n overcome In a proier and most
succe'sful manner. A seawall Is the
ultimate solution of the question here,
us It has been ln the history of other
large ports of th" world. Nature has
mipto It easy and comparatively Inex
pensive for Astoria to build the largest
port In America. With the expenditure
of little money, a harbor can be ptvpnrcd
that will accommodate the navies of the
world. It can bo taken ns an assured
fact. Judging by the work already ac
complished by Astoria's energetic clti
gons, that they will not be sallsfled until
they hnvo nchleed the ends desired and
eon wrlto Kureka upon the banners they
have essayed to carry.
A dispatch was received early tl.ts

lags tvr That r.rpose.
At ":3U o'clock lust evening the streets
Were crowded with people wending their
way toward Klsher's Hull. They were
fishermen, going to attend the regular
monthly meeting of the L'nlnn. About
Kw gained admittance to the room, while
large numbers were unable to crowd In.
The meeting was one of the largest ever
helil, and one of the most harmonious
gutherlngs of the I'nlon. After disposing
of the regular business of the order, the
present situation was briefly discussed.
Members of the pres. and all other out
sider were not admitted to th meeting,
but after Its close, so officer of the
union reported that their deliberation,
had been of the most barmonioua char
acter, and that they had simply passed
a resolution to th. effect that there wer.
no grounds for receding from the original
position taken by th order concerning
the price of fish. It was reiterated that
the pickers must pay Ave cent, per
pound fur fish, or th. fishermen would
not go out. Instruction were also
given to Secretary Jensen to reject any
and all proositlons looking to a com
promise upon the question; and that he
should not call any special meetings or
the order to consider such propositions.
Th best of feeling prevailed throughout
the meeting and an adjournment was had
at an early hour.
EXCITING EVENTS.
Plenty of Fish In th River Discovered
and Animated Discussion, ot the
Situation.
Early yesterday morning a number of
Ashing boats put out from the shore, said
to have been about thirty, and they were
observed later to be busily engaged In
nshlng. About noon they returned and
were met at Booth's dock by a large
crowd of fishermen, many of whom did
not understand what the move meant.
Inquiry revealed the fact that they haa
gone out to procure ,.fl)j for their own
use, and Incidentally to learn whether
there were any fish in the river or not.
The large catebea returned evidently sal
lsfled all In regard to the latter question.
It was rumored that there were so many
flail that some had to be thrown over
board. It was also stated that one man,
using an old piece of net as a set net,
caught twelve or fifteen fish In a very
short time. Inquiry at the union head
quarters elicited the information that the
men were nshlng entirely for home con
sumption, and that there were only seven
boat. out. They stated that there was
no question about there being plenty of
flsh In the river.
Mr. B. A. 8eaborg. tt-.e well known
canneryman of Uwaco, wa. over yester
day and while passing several group, ot
fishermen on the street, he stopped to
explain to them the situation, yulte a
little meeting Waa held at 1J o'clock at
the Western Union telegraph corner, and
later In the afternoon, when a large
number of fishermen were gathered on
the steamer Ilwaco's dock. Mr. Seal org
went up to the men and addressed them
both In Finnish and In English. From
the best Information obtainable, it seem,
that Mr. Ueaborg endeavored to explain
his position on the fishing question and
advised the men as to their own folly.
Tha men gathered about him. received
his remarks at first with laughter, and
treated the matter aa a Joke. This some
what Irritated the speaker, and -a per
sonal encounter was prevented by the
intervention of a bystander. Ten or fif
teen minutes Inter Mr. Seaborg wns In
the midst of another group, and soon the
discussion became rather warm. Fearing
trouble, Deputy I'nlted States Marshal
Stewart and Constable Oberg led Mr.
Seahorg out of the crowd and took him
to the Occident hotel. A large number
followed, laughing and making fun ot
tho whole affair. They said they only
wanted to Josh the old man, but the
opinion prevailed among many that trou
ble might have ensued but for the prompt
action taken.
FINANCIAL CONDITIONS.
New Tork, June a. The Financier saya
this week:
The loss ln cash can be accounted for
In figuring the net gold export, and then
the bank payments Into the treasury,
but on the other hand the receipts have
averaged 3,tW0,0ii0 weekly from the In
terior and the treasury disbursements
have also been heavy. Statements for
several weeks past have shown that funds
were accumulating In New York, and this
Is therefore to be regarded as favorable.
Further payments of government deposits
Into the treasury will exert a strengthen
ing Influence, although bank clearings
over the country showed that money 1.
not ln active demand to the extent ot
suffering rates, and ln certain section,
the expansion of loan, was a bright spot
In an otherwise dull and fruitless period.
Loan, of the New York banks have In
creased S31,000,000 ln the four months end
ing today.

RULES OF THE ROAD AT SEA.
Change. Proposed by th. British Dele
gates Accepted by tt American and
Congress Promptly Informed.
Washington. June . It Bow rest, with
congress whether the changes proposed
by Great Britain In the new rule, of the
road at sea shall be accepted by the
United States.
So far aa the American delegate, to the
International marine conference are con
cerned, the change, proposed are consid
ered satisfactory, and they so expressed
themselves In a report to Secretary Olney
today, accompanied by a bill containing
provisions for altering the rules as de
sired by the British delegates. The meas
ure wa sent to congress by the president
this afternoon, the haste used Indicating
the desire of the administration to put
the rules In operation aa soon .. possible.
The administration', friends Intend to
push the bill through a. rapidly a. pos
sible, so that the president can officially
promulgate the rule. thi. summer. Great
Britain and the other nations will prob
ably proclaim the rule, for the guidance
of veseshi flying their respective flags at
the same time.
In accordance with the suggestion, of
the British delegate, three ot the specifi
cation of Rule 15. have been combined
Into one so that only one signal one pro
longed blast followed by two short ones,
shall be given by a vessel when towing;
when employed In laying an ocean cable,
and when under way and unable to get
out of the way of an approaching vessel
through not being under command or
unable to maneuver as required by the
rules. The signal Is to be sounded at in
terval, of not more than two minutes.
In addition to this change the British
delegate, propose to do away with sep
arate signal, for a vessel at anchor at
sea, when not ln ordinary anchorage
grounds and In such a position a. to be
come an obstruction to vessels under
way. This provision applies particularly
to vessel, lying In narrow channels, like
the end of Long Island Sound and certain
parts of the British chunneL
The officials hope the promulgation by
Great Britain and the United States, and,
In fact, all the countries of the world,
will be made by the beginning ot fall.
