The Improvement made by the railroad company will be spread abroad, and many who would perhaps not othiTwlse know that an Astoria. Oregon, exists, will hear of Astoria's railroad. It la certainly to be hoped that the committee originally having charge of the affair will take bold of It vigorously, and they will certainly mwt wlih the hearty support of ninety-nine ir cent of the business men. Those who have been approached upon the subject agree that there Is not time enough In which to get up ft proper public Fourth of July celebration, and that as It la more than probable that by August the railroad will be In op era 1 1. m from rU-ow llay to Seaside, and the Flnvcl Hotel will be ready to open, one jjrnnd celeprntlon at that time will be more fitting. It Is statml on good authority that the battleship Oregon will be here about that time, and that It can be ar r a nued for her tn take part In the re gatta together with the Columbine and Mnnxanlta. With suburban train ser vice to and from the beach, the thous ands of visitors and cltlxens can enjoy their siHirt here, on the bay, and spend the long, cool evenings at the seaside. There can not possibly be any doubt In regard to the regatta and Its many benefits to the city. MRS. RICKARD8' FUNERAL. Hundreds ot Friends Attend the Re mains to Their Last Resting Place. Grace Church, ycterday afternoon, was filled with the many sorrowing friends of the late Sirs. Rlckards. They were there to do honor to the dead and sympathlie with the bereaved family. The church was most beau tifully decorated with flowers, and the casket was literally covered with na ture's choicest gifts. The scene within the church was In great contrast to he bright sunshine without it. Life and death are ever hand In hand. The beautiful service of th. church, sublime In Its simplicity, was read by the rector of the parish. The choir ren dercd "Nearer, My God, to Thee," and O, Paradise." When the preacher read the passage, "O, death, where la thy sting, O, grave, where Is thy vic tory?" there was scarcely a dry eye In the audience. Every Astorlan Is familiar with the sight of the young mother leading her little twins along the street, and yes terday the thought of each one was for these same little ones bereft at so tender an age of the protection and care of a loving mother. As the funeral procession left the church, the casket borne by Messrs. Thomas Dealy, Erlo Kohnson, J. E. Hlgglns, Captain Gregory, of the Man- xanlta. and Engineer Mitchell and Mato Rums, the large congregation fol lowed to the boat landing, among them being noted most of the officers and men of the Columbine and Mansanlta. All who could, accompanied the re mains to the cemetery. Here the min ister pronounced the words, "Earth to earth, ashes to anhes, and dust to dust," while loving hands placed the floral emblems upon the new-made mound. "PERILOUS 8ITUATION." Topoka, June 24. The Topeka Advo cate, which Is Feffcr's paper, and which represents his personal views, today prints a double leaded article headed- The situation Is Perilous." It con tains an Impassioned appeal to silver Republicans, silver Democrats and all Populists to unite In the present cam paign, alleging that this Is the only method of avoiding the calamity of gold standard success.

One of th. most Important branches of commerce now awaiting the Immedl ate attention of Astoria and Portland merchants. Is the trade with Alaska Kuient reports show that the rich mines of this territory are being rapid ly developed. Companies and Individ uals who ha, gone ther this season, are becoming well established and making money. Within the past twelve months. Brattle has quadrupled her business in Alaska. She did It by es tablishing steamer lines and working the trade systematically. The field Is a rich one and the Columbia river should not be behind In the procession. While Astoria and Portland are not as ad vantageoualy situated aa the Soun country to handle this business, It Is not yet too lata to secur. a large allce of the traffic. Rt-ferenc. was made few days ago to this subject. Mr. Frank Stokes, of the Foard A Bloke. Company, haa at ready started the ball to rolling. He Is now In communication with the Cham ber of Commerce, of Portland, and should have the warmest support of every merchant of the two cities. As toria's Chamber of Commerce should second the project. The Interests of the metropolis and the seaport are Identical in this, as they will be In many other enterprises In the future. If all pull together in harmony, as they should. It will be an easy matter to es tablish a Hue of two or three steamers to handle this traPo. The advantages possessed by Portland and Astoria In olh?r directions will enable them to miet tha competition of the Sound on rates and prices. The project should be pushed speedily to a successful con summation. OHIO FOR TELLER. That la the Democrats And the En quirer Man for President. Columbus, Ohio, June 24. The Dem ocratic atate convention concluded to night, after being In session continu ously all day. It waa primarily a allver convention, and secondarily, the bud ulng or a boom for John R. McLean for the presidential nomination at Chi cago. Of the (37 delegates, H3 voted for fre silver and U for McLean. Three men were mentioned by the delegate as Ohio's choice for the Chicago nomina tion, McLean, Campbell and Book- waiter. Ex-Governor Campbell has been the favorite until the silver tidal wave struck the state, but he was con sidered too conservative on the silver question. When ex-Governor Campbell and his friends arrived here and found the sen timent drifting for McLean or Book- waiter, they supported the former, de feating Bookwalter in a hot fight for delegate, and thus ending the Book waiter boom for president and leaving the field, so far as Ohio Is concerned, to McLean, with the unit rule annexed John R. McLean is the proprietor of the Cincinnati Enquirer, and has been advocating free silver for years In his paper. The keynote of the convention was silver. On that Issue all nomina tions were based. TEXAS DEMOCRACY. "Kunels" Raise a Row Over an Empty Honor. The Austin, Tex., June 24. In the Demo cratic state convention today much commotion was occasioned by the ap pearance of a huge picture of Bland borne down the central aisle of the hall and at the same time Colonel Shepard advanced to the stage and moved to endorse Bland for the presidency. The motion was received with deafening applause and Senator Horace Chilton rushed to the platform to oppose his endorsement. Colonel Duncan also op posed the endorsement of Bland and favored endorsing ex-Governor Hogg for the presidency. A general row en sued and the supporters of the state administration and Hogg were very Vehement in their opposition to Bland. At 3 o'clock after much discussion Bland was Anally Instructed for, al most unanimously. Messages were sent to the conventions In session in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois Informing them that Texas had sent a straightout sil ver delegation to Chicago. SNIVELY NOMINATED.

FROM A BROKER'S i Graphic Description of the General Depression in Trade Through out the Country. EFFECT ON CANNED GOODS All Laxaries Restricted ia Tkeir Oatpat Salmoa, rartlcalarljr. reels the Deaaad tor Ckeip Articles Alaska Coaipctitios. A young man, six feet, broad shoul dered, athletic In appearance. In a dark blue ault and yachting cap, arrived yesterday, a guest of Air. J. O. Han thorn. He was J. K. Armsby. the son of the founder of the wholesale com mission firm, the J. K. Armsby Com pany, cf Chicago, and world-wide fame. The firm Is a large dealer In Califor nia dried and canned fruits, canned salmon, and all other canned goods. When questioned by an Astorlan rep resentative concerning the salmon mar ket In the east, Mr. Armsby said: "Ther. la no demand la the east for high grade salmon. Neither Is ther. a large demand for Atlantic coast lob ster, California fruits and nuts, high class Spanish olives, and other suclf luxuries. The heavy demand Is for cheapness In everything. We are only commission men. A packer can ask what he chooses for his goods, but It Is entirely another matter whether we can sell them. The Jobbers who bought heavily of last year's Columbia liver salmon, were not able to sell out and had large stocks on hand at the be ginning of this season which bad to be put out on a falling market. Business everywhere Is In bad shape. Perhaps It is politics and the agitation of sil ver; perhaps It Is over-production; at any rate I am telling you of the present condition of things, and can only say that I hope matters will change for the betteer when a Repub lican president Is elected and a solid financial basis established. As I told the people in California with whom we are dealing, we are passing through a period of low prices, and while the farmer has been compel! ed. In California, for Instance, by ex Istlng trade conditions, to take a'low price for his dried fruit and raisins, yet the eastern produser and manu facturer of food products have been forced to do business under precisely the same circumstances, and the net results are about on a par with those realised for your products. "The people here who think that we can sell at last year's figures are mis taken. There waa a large pack of salmon last year, and a fair one In prospect this season, which will more than supply the market on high-grade goods. Alaska Is eating Into you hard. Their last year's pack was a big one, but It sold out slick and clean at full prices, while you had to sacrifice to get rid of a part of yours. Your Columbia river prices have held up wonderfully up to the present, and you are to be congratulated, for everything else went down during the same time. Canned corn, which Is a staple, three years ago was worth 90 cents a doxen. Now It Is selling at 45, or below cost Canned tomatoes three years ago brought 90 cents. Today they sell for 60. If your pack on this river was one- half what It was last year, you could today market It at last year's figures; but you cannot market a full pack at those prices. There is one thing you must remember. A few years ago you had It all your own way practically you had no competition in the salmon business. Since then, however, there have been large strides made In salmon canning on the Sound, In British Col umbla and Alaska. The output of the high grade Columbia goods has not in creased, while the others have increas ed at a tremendous rate. Meyers, last year, packed $0,000 cases on the Sound, and several new canneries have start ed up there. You will have to regulate your prod uct like Alaska does, through a close corporation, limiting the output. They only make prices In 60.000 case blocks. The brokers do the rest. The Alaska Packers are declaring a one per cent per month dividend. Don't talk to me about advertising. Columbia river salmon is known the world over by brokers and dealers as the highest grade of goods. According to our way of thinking, your remedy must be at home." NEW PASSENGER RATES. Chicago, June 24. Notice was given by the Omaha road today that It will apply through Sioux City the 55 first class and $42.50 second class rate al lowed to transcontinental roads out of St. Paul to San Francisco via Port land and the ocean route from that point to San Francisco. This will make the rate from Omaha through Council Bluffs J2.90 higher than through Sioux City. Women of means are not always the ones gowned in the best taste.

The Dem ocratic state convention which conven ed this morning and adjourned this af ternoon, haa put Itself on record on the financial platform, and has selected delegates to the national convention; but In doing these things It haa fol lowed out the predictions of weeks ago and has not created any sensation or even mild surprise. It has declined to name Its electors, has not put Itself on record on any state Issue, and baa left the selection of the state commit tee until the next state convention. These things have all been done at tha Instance of the leaders and with the) avowed purpose of placing the party In such a position that no matter what the platform of the national party la. It can be supported by the electors and th. party in this state. The platform of the Democratic state convention was read today by Senator Hill and adopted. It says: It would be folly to Ignore, and Im possible to exaggerate the gravity of the conditions nnder which this con vention assembles. Most of the states of the Union have selected and com missioned their delegates to the na tional convention. By a movement. evidently concerted, but as we believe, lll-adviesd and ill-considered. Instruc tions have been given to the delega tions of a large number of states hav ing for their aim and purpose the adoption of a new policy and a new platform for the Democratic party. "The action of the Republican con ventions and a Republican president deprived silver of Its equality with gold for the money and currency of the nation. From this act (for which the Democratic party Is in nowise responsi ble), and from the action of other na tions following In the same course. It has resulted that silver has greatly de clined in commercial value and there now exists a wide departure of the two metals from the coinage standard of value bringing disturbance to the fi nancial systems of European countries, as welt as to our own. The restoration of the equilibrium of the two metals thus disturbed Is a problem, the solu tion of which la of the greatest conse quence to the prosperity of both this country and Europe; but la wholly be yond our power, without the co-operation of other nations." Continuing, It says: "We favor gold and silver aa the standard money of the country. We are opposed, as a permanent financial policy, to gold monometallism on the one hand, or to silver monometallism on the other hand. "We believe such bimetallism, to which the nation Is solmenly pledged, can only be secured and permanently maintained through the concurrent aid of the leading nattlons of the world. Neither this country, nor any other country, independent and alone, is able to maintain it, and it would be folly to attempt it Being so convinced, we are opposed to the free and unlimited coin age of sliver in the absence of the co operation of other great nations. Untn international co-operation for bimet allism can be secured to which all our efforts as a government and as a peo ple should be In good faith directed we favor the rigid maintenance of the present gold standard. Ex-Governor Flower offered the fol lowing, which was adopted: "Whereas, Party division at Chicago on the silver question will endanger Democratic success at the polls; and "Whereas, Republican ascendency in the nation would undoubtedly be fol lowed by another attempt to establish a minority rule in the Democratic Southern states by means of a force bill, therefore be It Resolved, That the Democrats of New York appeal to the Democrats of the South, In the name of their politi cal liberty and their properties, to avert the possibility of a force bill by uniting with the Democrats of the East and West in framing a platform on which all Democrats can stand, and the united support of which will lead to a glorious Democratic victory." Cleveland's administration was en dorsed. i , 7-r .' t
