The lloolh Packing Company wa en abled to receive outalde flan, a also were, Elmore aid Cutting. A a sam ple, Kinney' cannery was crowded to the limit, and men were working like beaver. The new oval soldering ma--lmr did good work, and every other machine In the house wa run to It full capacity. It seemed Ilk old time to hear tl.e liuay hum of machinery and look out over the bay, literally cov ered with fishing Ixials. All of the atipi'l)' alorc in the city were compell ed to work over hour, and many of them, notably rVard & Btokc, Roaa, HlKEln & Co.. rVholfleld & liauke. wro completely sold out in their Cp- (.rrtown tore of certain line of good and Were obliged to order extra lare stocks by telegraph. An effort was reported to have been made by certain parties to run off of Ihe river thoae fmhermen who wer not naturalised, and It was also said that a almllnr effort wn made a to non union men. In conversation with a gentlemen posted a to the naturalisa tion laws, he said: "I am satlnflcd that such an effort cannot be made success fully. The greater number ot these men are a good rltixen morally aa those who have completed their first papers. They are head of families, and most of them have been here for some length of time, and some of them are property owner. For the moat part they have neglected to take out cltlienshlp papers, and thi I no tlm to draw such a line." Fish Commissioner McOulre, who wa In the city Sunday, said that under the peculiar circumstance It waa not hi Intention to make any strenuous ef fort, to enforce the Sunday closed law nor the closed season. The reports from up the river also show a highly sRtlafuctory state of af fairs. A gentleman write from Ska mokawa: "The new that the canneries had offered four and one-halt cents, and the fishermen had accepted the offer, was brought up on the steamer Queen from Astoria about 10 o'clock Sunday morning. The steamer wa met at the dock by some of the fishermen, and the new spread rapidly to the hotel and home of the fishermen residing In this vicinity, and the fact that fishing wa about to commence, caused many of them to feel happy, thus relieving the destitution prevailing during the Inat few month. While many of them were not quite satisfied at the stated price, they were, nevertheless, glad that work was again at hand and em ployment furnished to those who had elected to remain Idle, firmly believing the cannerymen could well afford to pay the union price, until the strike wa aettled, from which the community had suffered so immeasureably. Qum boots, lunch baskets, oil clothes, and other fishing paraphernalia, were quickly huddled together, a few min ute after the Queen had landed, and nets, sails and other rigging were quickly taken from the cannery lofts and placed In the boats. Men rushed to the stores to procure the necessary supplies, and genernl business activity w as seen on every hand. Willing hands soon had the sails raised, and with the aid of a fresh up-stream wind the little crafts were plowing their way through the water bound for the toe head about a mile above Cathlamet. In loss than half an hour net were placed In the water for the Arts time this season, "The fact that large numbers of salmon were; known to be going up Cathlamet channel caused the fisher men to bestir themselves, and some lively work wa done to arrive at the head to have the first drift. Aa many aa eighty large salmon were caught In one drift, and as a consequence the fishermen were well pleased, all looking anxious. "Warren' cannery here will com mence operations today, and a busy tlm Is expected for a few day. This little town, and the river abreast of It now present a striking appearance to the depression and business stagnation which hitherto existed. The rueful countenances of th Inhabitant tliut thi unfortunate atriko made posalbl today looked with brightness to the prospect for the future. The hope I expressed that when next season roll around a better market will prevail and the canm-rymti) will be enabled to puy the old price of five cent per pound." It wa reported late last ulght by urn of the militiamen who were on the patrol that the heavy run of fish wa past, and that the catches during the night wer light. The larger part of th soldier and the principal official under General lii-ebe and Colonel Bummer left Hun day evening on th steamer Harvest Queen for Forlland. Many cltisen. Including a number of ladle and little girl, were at the di k to see them off. Ilouquet of flower were presented to the colonel, and that popular officer responded to the glt of the ladle in most graceful language, expressing hi appreciation of their courtesy, and stating that hi command would be ever ready to answer to their call of neceaalty. j, DEATH'S VICTIM. One of Aatorla' Moat Popular Young Married Women Laid Low. At 10 o'clock laat, night Mr.. Albert IMckards. wife of the well known chief engineer of the Majusnlta, died at SL Mary' Hospital. ,The new of her death wa received with great sorrow, as the lady wa well known and very popular throughout the city. She leaves twins, little girls, about five years of age. Mr. Rlckard waa 23 year and 10 month of age. She wa a daughter of Mr. Louis Iiartwlg, the well known contractor, who ha been a resident of the city for many years. The deceased baa been sick about Ave weeks, and a hrt time ago passed through a severe aurglcal operation. Only last week it was thought that she would safely recover from It ef fect, but Providence decreed otherwise, and today another sad home Is added to the long list. " Death )a gloomy enough when It come to those who have reached their three score and ten, but wh"n the young are cut off before the prime of life I reached, the Borrow la ten fold. Particularly sad i the death if a young mother. None can so well care for the little ones, as the one who gave them birth. In such case the sting la most acutely felt. CAN'T NOMINATE TELLER, Illinois Democrats Respect Him but Cannot Consent to HI Nom ination. Peoria, 111., June JI. Never before In the history of Illinois politic has there been a political convention as unique a that to be convened tomorrow prom ise to be. It will be called to order without a single candidate for nom ination for governor. Of course every body says Governor Altgeld will be nominated. According to W. H. Hlnrichsen, chairman of the Democratic state cen tral committee, 96 per cent of the dele gates to the convention have been In structed for him. and others are solid for him. On the other hand, Governor Altgeld a- he Is not a candidate. Several month ago he even went so far as to say that he would not accept the nomi nation, but the Democratic leaders say they will force him to accept. His whole thought and talk has been re garding the national convention to be held In Chicago week after next. "It Is the duty the free silver Democrats owe to the so-called common people of this nation," he said, "to carry their point as to the financial plank. Whitney, and the loud-mouthed goldbugs ot his class, have never led a party to any thing but humiliation or defeat during the last thirty years." Referring to Mr. Whitney's statement that he believed the gold men would control the party, the governor said: "If the gold men control they will do so by the use of arguments that have a ring to them and a clink, as they pass from hand to hand and the pock et." State Chairman Hlnrichsen, speaking of the talk that Senator Teller might be named at Chicago, said that while the silver Democrats had the highest regard for him, not one of the hun dred to whom he had talked, felt that It would be wise to nominate him for president.

The following report of the committee on fire and water, of Its conference with the water commission, was adopt ed: To the Honorable Mayor and Common Council of the. City of Astoria: Gentlemen: W'e, your committee on tire and water, having been Instructed to confer with the water commission in regard to the 32500, the commission think the city should pay as hydrant rental, beg to report the result of our conference. Though unable to receive any de tailed statement of the affairs of the water commission, we learn from them verbally that their receipt for the month of May were about 121'JO. Ex pense of water commission per month. vis.; Bond Interest, 1 13.13. 33; operating plant, 3315; Incidental, estimated. 1315; total, J1M133; showing a monthly sur plus of receipt over expenditure of 3251.67. The water commission claim they are without fund and much needed work to be done, that If allowed th 32500 It should be used In said work, such as taking up of old pipe, repairing road, building fences, stone wall, etc., etc., and that the $2500, If allowed, will have no effect on water rate. That no re duction In water rate will be made, thi year whether the city pay hy drant rental or no. Therefore In mak ing an allowance for hydrant rental the burden of water consumer will not be lightened. We further learn from the commission that an Insuffi cient amount of money wa borrowed to construct the water works; that the commission have used money received from all sourec In the construction w hich is the cause of the present deple tion of their treasury. I'nder the present condition of man agement In the water commission we recommend that no allowance for hy drant rental be made, as an allowance will burden the tax payers and furnish no relief to the consumer of water. Very respectfully, w. f. McGregor, JAS. W. WELCH. Committee on Fire and Water. CONGRESSMAN ELLIS. Say He Will Stand by the Platform and the Party. Portland, June 22. Congressman W. R. Ellis, who waa re-elected at the late election, arrived from Washington to day, and wilt tomorrow go to Corvallla, where hi children are attending school. When asked by a reporter what he thought of the St. Louis plat form, he said: "In the main I like It very welL I will stand on It. because I am a Re publican and always have been one. The money plank declare In favor of International agreement, but against the ratio of IS to L The agreement might result In the adoption of a ratio of 15"4 to 1, or tome other fixed figure; but until such agreement 1 consum mated I will stand on the St Louis platform, vote for the nominee of that convention and work for the success of the Republican party." "Should a free silver bill be Intro duced In congress at the next session will you support It?" "That depends entirely on circum stance. I will be guided by the dec laration of my party. We have now a plain', unequivocal declaration of the Republican party, but It Is against the ratio of It to L Should a bill be intro duced fixing the ratio at 154 to L I should still be guided by my party, and let the question ' be settled In caucus by party action. It Is the duty ot the majority of the party to aettle all ques tions on lines on which all can sub stantially agree, and I think that some legislation on this subject will be adopted that will prove satisfactory to all. The first thing I want done la to raise revenue to meet the expenses ot the government, and should we solve that problem we will have gone far toward the solution of other questions that have been troubling us. Republi cans do not want to lose sight of the tariff in the coming election." Ellis says Senator Mitchell will not return to Oregon before the last of July. ANOTHER GOLD PLATFORM. Milwaukee, June 22.

CONSUL LEE'S CUBA REPORT. Washington, June 22. A day or two at least must elapse before the report which Consul General Lee I said to have forwarded Saturday can reach the state department. It Is not sup- posed In official circles that he will at tempt to shape the policy of the state department as to the recognition of belligerency or of Independence, which must be decided in Washington after the contemplation ot a field broader than is open to the perception of an official stationed in Cuba. At present the state department is giving more attention o--the grievances of Ameri can citizens than to the subject of the propriety of interference in the strife between the Spaniards, and Cubans, and has been pushing a vigorous cor respondence with Hannls Taylor, our minister at Madrid. The purpose Is to prevent so far as possible, depredations on the property ot Americans In Cuba. AN EASY VICTORY. San Francisco Athletes Expected to Do up Portland. San Francisco, June 22.
