The old committee ha sig nified It wllllnKtiea to work for the regalia, providing there I any ahow whatever or being able tu bring; It bImiuI. A special committee laat even ing sounded a few leading business houses, hotels, and saloons, and re. port that there. Is a good chance now to secure sufficient fund for the great event, provided everybody puta a shoulder to the wheel and pushes hard. Dr. M. M. Walker and Hon. C. W. Fulton returned yesterday from Port land where a conference with the lion. C. II. Di-dd, chairman of the committee on the battleatilp Oregon memorial all ver service was had. Mr. Dodd la heurtlly In fUvor of having the battle ship brought In'.o the Columbia river whether ue can go to Portland or Hot. Mr. Dodd could not aay posi tively Just when the silver service could be ordered, but the committee hope that It will be In the near future. l'"i lliinj people nre making every p) Ible effort to complete the aubacrlption lint. Arlorlann can certainly count up on having the hearty support of Port land In the regatta. All arc agreed that no iiK'ie siting entertainment can L-.f given than Aaiorla's. an mini regatta. On the general committee In charge of the stale memorial. Aat .rla Is represented by the Hon. C. W. Fulton. J. H. D. Cray, Alex Camiiehll and A. J. Megler. The battleship committee will most certain ly work In harmony with the regatta committee, and those public spirited cltliens, both In Astoria and Portland, w ho have taken up the matter for the sake of the honor of Oregon, are de termtned to have a regatta. The Portland people are very anxloua that the first trip of the Oregon shall be made to the Columbia. Judge Page says that he Is poaltive that It ran be arranged for her maiden voyage to be made here. The presence of the Oregon In tha Columbia river meana at least 20,000 people to visit her, 10.000 of whom will probably come from Portland alone. While times are hard, and money la more stringent than for many yeara past in Astoria, yet anyone can see that a large amount of cash will be distributed in the city upon this occa sion. Looking at It rrom a cold-blooded business standpoint, every business man; every hotel, saloon, and restau rant In the city can afford to subscribe liberally toward .tlTc expense! of the regatta, even If they have to borrow the money w ith which to pay their sub scriptions. On the other hand, the honor of the state Is at stake, the en terprise and energy of Asturlans are In question. Let it not be said that this city failed tu respond to such a call, even though every dollar expended was thrown overboard the next minute. An entertainment of thla kind of course costs some money. Hut even If it costs five times the amount of the estimate, It would be money well spent. No better way could possibly be devised to make the name of Astoria known from Portland, Oregon, to Portland, Maine, and from Canada to Mexico. When the people come here It will need no orator to explain the natural advan tages of this .great port When they return to their homes each visitor will tell one hundred people what he saw. Mr. Hammond says that If the regatta Is arranged, he will surely bring a train load of Montana people to visit Asto ria at that time. There will also be distinguished visitors from the various Pacific states, state ofllclals, as well as officers of various cities and counties. The United States government will un doubtedly be represented and the affair will be one of historic Interest. The transportation companies are ex pected to subscribe liberally and the property owners who are Interested In the big hotel at Flavel will doubt less do their share. This, .with the promises made the special committee last night, makes a good start and the old committee will have little trouble in raising the balance. To be sure, the people feel poor, and many say they are unable to do as much as they did last year. Others have agreed to dou ble their last year's subscription. They realise that this Is a crucial time for the state, and particularly for Astoria, and are willing to make large sacrl floes for the general good. It Is safe to say that each subscriber will more than set his inoni-y buck and there Is probably now not one of Astoria's business men who will be found un willing to do his share lioth from busl Mi.a and putrlntlc motives. One gen tleman siil'l lust nlglit that he did not mind the S'jueese, because he knew the city would gain lurgely by it, and he knew that If the city prospered, his business would also prosper. Times generally are Improving, and now Is Dm time of all times for Asti.rla to make such a buslneos stroke as will bring renow n, fame, and .business pros perity to the city and the entire com munity. Doubtless the committee both here and In Portland have already planned to make arrangement with the trans portation companies for special rates for the benefit of those who wish to visit Oregon, the regatta, and the bat tleship. The event will be one to be long remembered, and will prove an nttrur'.ion to thousands of loyal eople. AN HONORED GUEST. Dr. E. T. Oeary, of Medford, grand chancellor ot the grand domain of Or egon, Knights of Pythias or the world, made an official visit to Astor and l'tt'iflo Lodges, In joint convention last night. The doctor delivered an eloquent address, which was highly appreciated by the member present, and exempli fied the secret work of the order. Af ter the Interesting exercises In the lodge room an adjournment was had to Jeff's restaurant, where an elegant banquet was spread in honor of the dht. tingulshed guest. . To an Aatorian representative last night Dr. Geary stated that the order I (teadlly growing, throughout the state and Is In a moat flourishing con dition. A revival ot Interest Is mani fested throughout Oregon In Pythian Ism. It is expected that there will be an enthusiastic session of the grand lodge In October In Baker Cite. The Knights of Baker are aparlng no pains or expense to make the event a mem orable one. Dr. Geary has recently visited the lodges throughout the state, and has everywhere received the attention due his station, and to one of Oregon's most prominent physicians. . . - . - ' , ..... A CHOLERA VACCINE. Dr. Koux and Collaborators Make i Distinct Advance Toward Its Discovery. Paris. July 1. The Matin states that according to the last number, of the Annalea de 1'Inslltut Pasteur, Dr. Roux and his collaborators have made a dls tlnct advance toward the discovery of a vaccine against cholera. In this publication appears an article entitled "Toxlne et Antltoxlne Choler blue." signed by Dr. Itoux. M. E. Met- schnlkonT and M. Taurllll-Salimbenl, In w hich rererence Is made to the experi ments of Herr Ransom, one of the col laborators of Dr. Behrlng. Then fol lows an account of the experiments made by Dr. Roux and his fellow scientists. The method followed by these three workers is exactly that which was em ployed with so much success when try. lng to discover an antldlphtherltlc se rum. After having Isolated the poison obtained from choleric cultures and In lected this toxlne by graduated doses Into various animals, the experimenters have used the serum of the blood of these animals to confer upon other sub jects an almost complete immunity against cholrea. Forty-eight per cent of the rabbits which have been vaccinated have re sisted cholera, whereas eighty-four per cent of those not vaccinated died from the disease. Up to the present, how ever, the method has only been used upon animals, and is only preventive. In order that It should be of use to man It should be curative. Moreover, this treatment, when ap plied after the appearance of cholera in the case of a human being has fall ed, probably owing, as Dr. Roux points out. to the weakness of the serum em ployed. Still, the article concludes, considerable progress has been made and there are reasonable grounds for the belief that a curative, In addition to a preventive, vaccine for cholera will shortly be discovered. ALASKA FOR GOLD. Seattle, July 1. Four of the delegates elected to represent Alaska In the Dem ocratic convention at Chicago arrived today on the steamers Topeka and Queen from the North. They are L. I. Williams, Dr. C. D. Rogers, Captain James Carroll and R. F. Lewis. Dr. Rogers bears the credentials of the six delegates chosen. The Alaska delega. tlon are rather non-committal in their expressions, but It could easily be seen they are (or gold. PECULIAR ACCIDENT AT BAKER. Baker City. Or., July 1.

MR 1IARRITY IS JOCKEYING Sllveritcs Par from Satisfied Kith Result of Tbcir Conference Kith Him. AXTI-SILVER MAX TO BE NAMED Chairman ol Ike Ckicirjo Coivestioa Kilt frulialily Not De Agreeable to tkc Siher .net The Delay Is Daigeross. Chicago, July 1. The sliver delega tion are far from satisfied with the result of the conference of their com mittee with Chairman Harrity and the members of the national executive committee. They had not counted much on securing a positive acquies cence In their demand to be allowed to practically name the temporary chair man of the convention, but they had hoped to secure a more definite Idea ot the program of the national commit tee than they succeeded In obtaining. The result of the conference was al most nothing, and the Silver men left the committee room feeling that their labor had been practically In vain. They were also displeased with the postponement of the matter until so Sate a date a next Monday. In the ab sence of any definite assurance from Harrity they are Inclined to the opinion that there is a disposition, if not a determination, on the part of the na tional committee to select sn antt-sllver man for chairman and to postpone the announcement of the selection until the very eve of the convention. This they regard as trifling with them to a de gree. They are, therefore, disposed to proceed? with their plans pretty much as If Harrity had assured them the committee would name a gold chair man, to as to be prepared for the emergency It this should prove to be the plan ot the committee. This plan would be, as heretofore outlined, to have a silver man agreed upon in ad' vance by the silver forces and to elect him In opposition to the convention over the choice of the committee. Chairman Harrity Insists that he act ed In perfect good faith with the sil ver committee and that, being only one member of the national committee, he could not give any further assurance than he did give. The silver people also feel that the assurances in reard to the contests were very Indefinite, and they found that it will be necessary for them to continue their precautions In this re spect. The distribution of tickets, which has been arranged for. Is not altogether to their satisfaction. PROGRAM OF GOLD MEN. Chicago, July L Comptroller Eckles, of the treasury department, said today he expected Mr. Whitney and others of the anti-silver, wing of the party on Friday. Eckles thinks that after that the complexion of the sentiment will change somewhat, and that the sliver people will not have so complete com mand of the situation as they now- ap pear to have. Whitney is regarded as the leader ot the gold forces and they expect to muster a formidable array of distinguished men who will assist him in his efforts to prevent the party throwing Itself entirely upon the white metal side of the controversy. In ad dition to Whitney, Senators Hill and Murphy, Hon. Charles Tracey, ex-Gov ernor Flower, Hon. Frederick R. Cou dert, and ex-Postmaster General Bls sell are expected from New York, as are Hon. Don M. Dickinson, of Michi gan; Governor Russell and Mayor Quln- cy, from Massachusetts; Senator Jcw- ett. of New Jersey; Senator Vilas, of Wisconsin; Senator Gray, of Delaware, and many others, including the lead ing delegations of business men and influential politicians from Indianapo lis, Baltimore, Pittsburg, St. Louis, Cincinnati, and other cities. . "t cannot but believe," said Eckles. after giving this list, "that these men will exert an Influence upon the con vention. They are all men who have participated in national affairs and all are well known Democrats. They will appeal to the convention In the Inter ests of the business stability ot the country, and also for the preservation of the party's Integrity. Even the silver leaders must listen, and it they are Democrats, when it Is pointed out to them that the adoption of a free silver declaration means certain defeat of the party at the polls, they will heed the warning. It will be shown to them, as it can clearly be shown, that In this event they will not only lose every Eastern state, but that they are also sure to lose all the Southern states such as Maryland, Delaware, West Vir ginia and Kentucky, where the Re publicans have an organization which Is not bound up with the Populists. They must listen to appeals to their reason against the overturning of Dem ocratic precedents, as Is proposed to be done In the matter of the abrogation of the two-thirds rule. No Democrat can regard such innovations as this and uch Incidents as the frequent consul tations with the St. Louis bolters with equanimity, and such proceedings will only discourage the Independent move- merit which I sure to follow them If they are coupled with a free coinage declaration In the platform." When asked If the gold men would bolt the convention In case a positive pronouncement for free sliver I made, Eckles expressed the opinion thst there would be no open bolt, "but," be said. there will be a defection at the polls which It would be Impossible to pre vent If the rank and file of the party convention Insists upon overturning ail Democratic precedents." ON THE THAMES. The American Boys Are Making Many Friends. (Copyright, 1W6, by Associated Pres.) Henley-on-Thames, July L The near approach of the day set apart for the royal Henley regatta, July t. 7, 8, and 9, Is Increasing the already very great interest manifested in the gallant young Americans who are to uphold the glorious traditions ot Yale on the Thames. Since their appearance here up to the present time they have stead ily Improved In form. On all sides the New Haven oarsmen are classed as thorough gentlemen and sportsmen ot the first water. The utmost good feel ing prevails on all sides. In which the cup ot good fellowship is overflowing. and when the rival crews measura oara on Tuesday it will be In a healthy, hon est rivalry, with no tinge of bltternes on either side. A change for the better In many re spects was made In the Yale boat to day. English oars have been tried and found not adapted to the Yale crew. As a result they have been discarded and American oars will carry the sons of Ell to victory or defeat. There is no cocksureness about the crew or their friends, but they will row their best, are in the pink ot condi tion and will at- least come very near capturing the Grand. ... That is about the situation of affairs from an American standpoint, although Bob Cook appears to look ' gloomy. shakes his head somewhat despondent ly and Intimates that he is not satis fied with the work ot his pupils. But Bob Cook has been known to do the same thing many times before and then have his crew walk away from thelr opponents. In fact, the throwing of cold water upon the chances of Yale Is in some quarters looked upon as be ing an old trick of the master coach; so no importance Is attached to bis cloudy forebodings. A BAD FISCAL SHOWING. Carlisle's Estimates Have Not Panned Out and the Deficit Most Alarming. Washington, July 1. The compara tive statements of government receipts and expenditures Issued today shows the total receipts from all sources tor the fiscal year to have been 3326,189,2; , and the expenditures 'l352,23L470, which leaves a deficit for the year of 326,042, 244. Although there was a surplus for June of 32,349,430, It Is expected that the figures tor July will show a deficit of at least 310,000,000 and possibly more. The appropriation of 5.000,000 for the sugar bounty payments is now avail able and it Is the expectation that all of these claims will have been settled and paid before the end ot the month. During July the payments on account of interest, pensions and the naval ap propriations will be exceptionally large, so that the deficit for the month Is likely to be above 310,000,000 rather than less. The showing for the year Is far from satisfactory to the treasury offi cials and what is equally disquieting is the fact that the immediate future promises nothing better. The receipts from Internal revenue during the year amounted to 3146.50S.264 nearly 311,500,000 less than the secre tary's estimates sent to congress. The customs yielded 3160,534,351. or 311,465, 649 less than the secretary's estimates. The total receipts for the year, how ever, showed a gain of about 312,S00,0O0 over 1S95.

LOUIS BUSINESS MEN Hake t Trip to Caoto o Special Trail Ceversor HcKisley Deeply Tomtits' aid Hakes s Appropri ate Address. Canton, Ohio, July L At S o'clock this afternoon 200 glass workers and rolling mill men from Masslllon. with banners and glass badge and glass canes, called at McKlnley's' home and were presented by their leader, Joseph Grapevine, who talked of protection as the safeguard ot their Industry. Mc Klnley responded by thanking the dele gation for their cordial greetings and congratulations. "Nothing," said Mo Klnley, continuing, "has moved me more deeply or touched me more pro foundly than to have these expres sions of approbation from the working men of the United States who believe that we should have our workshops at home; our work at borne; employ oar people at home and employ them at American wages, and I trust that the depression which has settled upon the Industries of this country will In the near future be removed, and we may all at no distant day get back to the happy time so well described by your spokesman." At 4:15 a special car of St Louis bus iness men arrived over the Cleveland, Canton and Southern road. They were headed by Bon. R. C. Kerens, and sent Governor McKlnley ' an Invitation to dine with them In their car. Governor McKlnley was compelled to decline. however, owing to an engagement to meet 3,000 Christian Endeavorers to the state convention In session here. Promptly at 4 o'clock the Christian Endeavorers delegation, 3000 strong, ' marched to the McKlnley residence. I They made a handsome sight as they I crowded about the McKlnley grounds, overflowing the streets for a block each ; way and waving their flags and hand kerchiefs In enthusiastic accord. Gov ernor McKlnley responded briefly. HOBART VISITS McKINLEY. . Canton, July 1. Garrett A. Hobart. j the vice-presidential nominee, arrived ; today and paid a visit to McKlnley. WILL STAY IN CANTON. Canton, Ohio, July L It la believed that Governor McKlnley has virtually decided to give up any idea of com plying with the wishes of his friends that he take a rest as contemplated by them In the proposed visit to the Osborne home near Boston. The governor never appeared In bet ter health than when he greeted Mr. Hobart this morning, and he does not show the slightest fatigue from the constant and fatiguing cares he has had upon him for the last several months. It Is probable he will remain in Canton until the campaign closes and the election result is known. FOUR HUNDRED KILLED. Many Reported to Have Sought Ref uge In the British Consulate. Constantinople, July L Advices re ceived here from Van, Asia Minor, say that In the outbreak which occurred there on Monday four hundred Arme nians were killed and that the trouble was renewed yesterday. A large num ber ot persons have taken refuge In the British consulate. The massacre Is ascribed to agents of the Porte, who were paid to provoke a demonstration on the part of the Ar menians, which might serve as a pre text for a general slaughter of Chris tians. BURNED TO DEATH. Randsburg, Cal., July 1. Mary X. Wilder, a fallen woman, whose pa rents are wealthy and respected citl sens of Eugene, Or., was burned to death today by the explosion of an oil stove. Her clothing caught fire and before help could reach the unfortunate woman she was burned beyond recogni tion, and died In terrible agony. NEBRASKA IS SOUND. Lincoln, Neb., July 1.
