CCHTIH The telegram frnm Mr. Curtis above, fl Its own story and means much to Astoria. Every hualneaa man who heard the news last nlKht was more than pleased. A great many enter prises have lin n held In abeyance pend lug the letting or this contract. The commencement of active work on the main line to (lohle means that steps will be taken In the Immediate future toward the launching of numerous manufacturing Industries uHin which will so largely depend the proierlty of the city. It la true beyond a doubt that a great deal of work will go for ward at the same time with the rail road work. Foundations will he laid thla fall. It Is said by tho who are In position to know, for the railroad shops and other buildings necessary for the terminal at Klavel, a well as for an elevator, dry dirk, flour mill and saw mill. The Scow Uny depot will now very likely be rapidly puihed forward, and It can be expected that a large amount of foreign capital will tie In verted here before the close of ISM. General Land Asenl (ioNslIng, who returned yeaterday morning from Port land, stated that the suit of the A. and C. R. IC. It. ami I nut the Northern Pacific, for right of nay at Goble, had been compromised In the I'nlted Stales court, the Aat'.rla road ylng about J3,0uo, or one-half of the expense In curred by the Northern l'ai lflc for wrrk done on the prude at that point. Word was also received that Mr. llummond would leave New York for the West the first of next week. Whut with the completion of the Klavel Hotel, and the startlnK of work on mnny different projects en the went side of the bay, and the work going on along the en tire water front of the city, and the line to Goblc, times will be lively enough here to suit everyone.

The cricket game between the Mult nomah Club and the Astoria Football Club that occurs today at the Smith's Point grounds. Is the first or the 18! chemplonst-lp series, and will be well contested, as both sides claim victory In sight. The M. A. A. C. has not yet met defeat, and the local boys are anx ious to have the honor of doing them up. The steamer Dwycr will leave at 12 sharp for the grounds and will make another trip at 2 p. m., charging 25 cents for the round trip. No admission charge will be made at the grounds. All will be welcome and It Is hoped that the boy will have a good send-off. Mr. V. Q. Gosslln will umpire the game for Astoria. The following are the teams: M. A. A. C T. n. Foster. W. N.

All has lieen done Unit human aid can do to alleviate her suffering. OBITUARY. Mr. George Stlnchcomb, who for six teen days has been suffering at St. Mary's Hospital, died yesterday after noon. It will be remembered that he was run over by a wagon on the grad ing work at the head of Tenth street. Few thought that he would live twen ty.four hours after the accident; but by Bheer force of will and heroic effort he prolonged life more than a fortnight. Mr. Stlnchcomb made many frleneds here, and has many friends In Portland and Forest Grove. He Is only a young man, and has been married four years. He leaves a wife and two children. Formerly he was In the drug business In Forest Grove, and when, the hard times came on he left there and came to Astoria to engage In contract work. Mr. Stlnchcomb was a member of Delphos Lodge, K. of P., Forest Grove, and was Insured In the endowment rank. Members of the order of Astoria will accompany the remains to Port land Sunday, where members of the Forest Grove lodge will receive and take charge of the body. Mrs. Stlnch comb has been In the city for a num ber of days past, and since It was definitely known that her husband KOBKHT BURNS IN MICM'iRIAM. New Tork Will i) Well Represented ut the Centenary at Dumfries In July. Near York Herald. The Robert burns centenary celebra tion, to lie held on the Zlt uny of July, will b participated In by sll the Scot tlah societies of New York. They will send representatives, who will join those f clubs and societies from all parts ot the world at Dumfries, where the cele bration will eenter about the mauaoleum of the great bard of Bcotlnnd. All of that land will tie alive on the day of th celcbmtlon to do honor to the memory of Hums, and not a hamlet will be without Its enthusiasm. Flowers ot the world will decorate his tomb and lings of every nation will add to the beauty and ImpreMlvsnt of the arene. From every corner of the earth will Scotchmen hall e tch other at a common point with a eomn.on Interest, there to Join hands and ask: 1 Should auld acquaintance be forgot. Ami never broushl to mind? Should auld acqunlntance ba forgot And days o' Lang Byne? The utmost Interest Is being taken by the members of th New Tork BcoUlih societies, though no official action has been taken. "The American Scottish societies have been slow In taking formal anj united action In the matter of the celebration." said Mr. Charles A. McClelland, presi dent of the Burns Club," "for tbay think there are three month before the event. They will all b rsprestnted, and there will be a large exodus for Scotland next July." The oldeat, largest and wealthleat Scotch society In the city '' Is St. An drew's, now under th presidency of Ma J. Kennedy Tod.1 This society, ' best known for It annual dinner cn 8t. An drew's duy and Its charitable work, will have the Isrgest representation at Dum fries. Many of Its members are plan ning to take their summer vacation In Scotland and will meet not only at Rum's tomb,' but at Olastrow, Edinburgh, Dunoon and elsewhere, where elaborate exercises will be held. The principal representative of the New York Scottish Society will be Andrew Carnegie, Us honorary president," who, with his family, will sail in a few days. He will be at the Dumfries celebration. Dr. A. M. Stewart, vice prenldent ot tho Scottish Society, Is taking an active Interest in the celebration, and suys this summer there will be In Scotland more tourist than have been there in many years. Th objective point of the Ameri can summer exodus appears to the 'The Lund o' Cakes." The Caledonian Club, noted for Its high rank In allelic, particularly those ot Scottish origin, will be represented by ome of It most sturdy and active mem bers. Many members of the Scottish Clans will be present. We have, here In New York, the Clan Mackenxle and tha Clan Macduff and In Brooklyn the Clan Mac donald. The Caledonian clubs of Brook lyn and of Kings and Queens counties will also be represented. A new society Is the Scottish-American Musical Society, under the leadership ot Wallace Bruce, formerly conductor of the Balmoral choir ot Scotland. As In New York, so It is throughout the limit The" Newark Caledonian Club has started a movement by a unanimous resolution, In which clubs In the Vnlted Bintes and Canada are Joining to make the celebration International. It Is ex pected that a great delegation composed ot members from various societies will represent America In Scotland next July. Tours to Scotland are being arranged to start from many centers, and all will take their final departure from this port. All of Scotland, highland and lowland, will celebrate, but at the great centers the commemoration exercises will be conducted with ceremonies which will draw thousands of visitors. At Edin burgh and Glasgow there will be pro grammes full ot beauty, enthusiasm and pathos, amid decorations, music, feast ing and orations. At Dunoon will be unveiled a heroic bronse statue of High land Mary. U will look across the waters of the Clyde toward the Ayrshire coast At Dumfries the celebration will be under the direction of the Dumfries Burns Club, and the Earl of Rosebery will act as president. Locnl clubs and societies, with representatives of timllar societies from all parts of the world, will Join In procession and march to the mau soleum, there to deposit wreaths and other fitting emblems. After the return from the tomb a public luncheon will be taken In Mechanics' hall. ALASKA'S GREAT. MINES. Geological Survey Party Reports Fab ulous Wealth at Juneau. ' ' Washington, July 3.

SPLIT OX THE MONEY OHESTIOS The Democracy, Once I'owerful, Is Hopelessly Divided Aijalnst It w:lf it Cblcayo. MESSRS. IJOIES AND FENXOYER Both fopulisti Are to Co Before the Cot- vestios at Cisdidito for f resided fcisoycr Says He Tniois It's Very .Nice. Chicago, July I. Not since 160, when the Democratic party met In conven tion at Charleston and split on the subjer t ot slavery, has such an Irrecon cilable difference of opinion existed on the great question at issue as now con fronts the delegates who are assem bling here for the Democratic conven tion. The situation which the Demo crats faced then has Its analogies in the question which they are confronted with today. The Northern Democracy, declaring for squatter sovereignty, lat er at Baltimore, nominated Stephen A. Douglass, while the seceding Southern delegates, declaring for the existence of slavery In territories under federal law, named John C. Breckinridge. To day the Democracy of the Alleghantes wast to tba Pacific and from the Poto mac to the Guff, except for a break in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan, so far as Its voice will be heard In con vention next week, stands solid for the free coinage of silver at 1 to 1 against an equally solid gold standard Democracy of the East. At the threshold of the convention the gold standard, Democrats are de feated two to one. New York and the little Democratic states of New Jersey and Connecticut, which have, since the war. always exercised a dominating In fluence In Democratic conventions, and have for years named the candidate on the theory that New York and the two small sister states were the battle ground and their votes essential to suc cess, are to be sent to the rear. The Eastern Democracy may plead and cry aloud that the free silver candidate and free silver platform means disruption, disaster and ruin, but their pleadings and their cries fall on deaf ears. The silver Democracy is In the saddle and will ride rough shod over precedent and tradition. If necessary, to accomplish their purpose. That Is the set determi nation of the leaders. It is in vain that the gold standard men warn them of the certain loss of New York, New Jer sey and Connecticut at the polls. They have reconciled to themselves that In. the great boundless West and the middle states ot the Mississippi Valley will be found electoral votes to offset the defection In the East. While there Is neither a probability nor even a possibility of a minority bolt, and another candidate being plac ed In the field, as there was in 1S60, so far as the eastern states are con cerned, there might as well be, as the support In the electoral college from every state east of the Ohio has been voluntarily relinquished by those in control for the prospect of Western and Southern alliance. This remarkable change In the posi tion of the national Democratic conven tion toward New- York and the East, entails other remarkable conditions which will make the coming convention memorable; and if lis deliberations are crowned with success In November, epoch-making in the history of Ameri can politics. At the door of the con vention stand representatives of two other national parties Populis's and SUverltes as well as the lieutenants of Senator Teller, who led the silver bolt at St. Louis, ready to pledge the support of their organization and their followers If the convention will put aside candidates from within the ranks of their party, and choose as a stand ard bearer in the coming fight a man who for so many years has been the commanding leader of the sliver forces In the United States senate, and who two weeks ago took his hat and walk ed out of the convention of the party with which he has all hla life been Iden tified, because that party refused to endorse his views. Senator Dubois and. others of Mr. Teller's friends, and Chairman Tauben- eck, of the Populist party, Impress up on the Democratic sliver leaders the great strength Teller's nomination would'brlng to the cause of silver, In which the convention Is to enlist tlself. So for as Senator Dubois and Teller's associates .. are concerned, they say they stand ready to give their heartiest support to any recognized free silver Democrat whom the convention might name. If the platform In other respects is satisfactory; but they point out that the free silver Republicans who would rally enthusiastically to the standard of Teller, might not all vote for a Democrat, while the Populists, Insofar as Taubeneck can speak for them, openly declare that unless Senator Tel ler Is nominated, they will place a ticket In the field at St. Louis, with Teller the nominee. They show a list of eighty-one elec toral votes from the Western and Mis sissippi valley states, which will be given 'to the nominee, more than enough to compensate for the loss or New- York, New Jersey, and Connecti cut. Newlands, congressman for Nevada, today spread broadcast a statement to show that, with Teller the nominee, 1.000,000 sliver Republicans, 2,000.0,0 Populists and about 5O0.0"0 labor union voles would swell the 1,000,000 votes upon which the Democratic nominee could count with absolutee safety, no matter how strong the gold standard disaffection might be. The figures ag gregated a popular vote of (,00,000, Mr. Cleveland In UK received 5.(00,000 pop ular votes. The glittering prospect in volved In Teller's nomination, as put forth by his friends, has made Its Im pression. It Is an open secret that a number of Democratic silver senators, like Jones, of Arkansas; Harris, of Teu nessee, and others fsome of whom are publicly supporting other candidates; are trying to manipulate things from the inside In Teller's Interest. Today they stem to make considerable head way, and many of the most prominent silver leaders here are quoted as In favor of Teller's nomination. Teller talk Induced the managers of the Bland boom to Issue a public statement de claring that If the Democratic conven tion nominated Teller, no one would give him a warmer support than Rich ard P. Bland. WORKING FOR BOIES. Chicago, July J. The Iowa men have been preparing to make a strong fight all along the line of delegates begin ning tomorrow. It Is stated by Boies' managers that they are using the same tactics so successfully employed by Daniel Manning when Cleveland was nominated for the first time. By Sun day there will be a swarm of Iowa men here who are coming In clubs and by special trains. There is considera ble rivalry between Boles and Bland, as It Is thought that.lt one was out of the way the other would be nom inated. The Boles men on the ground say they are not making as much show as the Mlssourtana, but they ex pect to fill the city with workers by tomorrow night and Sunday morning. PRESIDENT PENNOYER. Dr. Mullinnlx Will Present the Popu list's Name at Chicago. Portland, July 1 Ex-Governor Pr.n- noyer's name will be presented to the national Democratic convention fur president by Dr. L. P. Mullinnlx, a del egate from Oregon. Governor Pennoyer has been very reticent about his presidential aspira tions, but today he said: "I see that my name. Is to be pre sented by the Oregon delegation for a place on the presidential ticket, and I will say In regard to this matter that such action on the part of the delega tion has been taken without any solic itation from me. I have had no syndi cate at my back like McKinley. I have had no literary bureau whatever. I have not written one single letter to, or asked the support of, any man, and so. If the nomination should come to me, which I do not expect. It would be a very great honor indeed. OVATION TO McKINLEY. One Thousand Worklngmen Wait Upon the Next President. Canton, Ohio, July 3. It w as 4:30 this afternoon when a thousand people of Tuscarawas county came In a special train over the Cleveland and Canton road. They had the largest sheets of tin-plate "ever made In the world," and the largest strips of galvanized sheet steel. Colonel W. A. Bovey, of Dennlson. was spokesman. In re sponse to a very handsome presenta tion, Major McKinley replied: "This assemblage is fairly typical of our American communities, and it ful ly presents the varied occupations of the American people. As your spokes man has already said, In this presence are farmers, laborers, merchants, min ers, architects, railroad employes, pro fessional men and representatives of every rank of people and you are here, distant from your homes, not from cur iosity, nor from any considerations at all personal, but are here for In your hearts you believe In the great funda mental doctrines of a good day's wages to our employes, which we want to be paid In good sound dollars, worth 100 cents and no less. "Now, whatever policy will bring us back to those good times Is the one that the great majority of American people are In favor of, and will so register their votes at the coming elec tion, and you seem to have made up your minds what that policy Is." (Applause.) Go to Elmore, Sanborn's office and see their new and handsome twine testing machine. Take along some of the twines "as good a Marshall's," In your pocket, and test them. Then see how much more Marshall's will stand. It's money In your pocket and fish In your net to tlnd out. YALE STANDS WELL TO WIN Training for the Great Kcgntta at Hcnlcy-on-thc-Thames About Completed. IT WILL BE A GREAT CONTEST By tie Ceatlenaily Cosdact of toe Heather of Her Crew. Tale Has .lade .lany rrieads, sad all Hope to See Her kit. (Copyrighted, 1S9, by Associated Press) Henly-on-Tbames, July I. The train ing ot the crews entered for the grand challenge cup race, which will take place next week at the Henley regat ta. Is about completed, although some of them during the present day or two would forego their finishing touches. The concensus of opinion Is that the race for the grand challenge cup will be won by Leander, New College, or Yale, with the Thames crew having a good lead for fourth place In tha estimation of competent critics. The Trinity college and London Row ing Club are considered out of tha race; the latter because they are far behind their form of other years, and the former because for some reason unexplained, they have fallen off re markably from their performance of a week ago. There are several factors, however, which are not to be overlook ed In forecasting the changes of the different crews. The New College men are unquestionably somewhat over trained. Bob Cook has carefully avoid ed this and his men will go to the post In prime condition, the most Important factor with the crews, as evenly match ed as the present three seem to be The draw, such as has been blowing every day this week, oft Buck's Sta tion, means an advantage of at leaat a length and a half. There Is an under current of feeling here today, led by the press, that it Yale wins, it will be because Cook copied the English style of rowing with a really good crew and that,' if Yale loses, it will be be cause Its men had not time to thor oughly adopt the English style. "Cornell," said Cooper, secretary of the regatta committee, "pursued a sus picious policy, before unknown in Hen ley crews. They declined Invitations as If they suspected that they would be poisoned. Yale, on the contrary, ,seema one of us, and has met us In the same spirit. We are with them In manners and men, and they are not looking for traps and tricks on every side. If they win it will be a great thing for Hen ley, as we suppose Harvard will not be content and perhaps other college will not be satisfied until they add a victory at Henley to their home tri umphs. But, even if Yale succumbs, we trust It will not be long before we see her blue T again, and If Yale wins you may be sure there will be no begrudging her the victory among the defeated crews." TRADE REVIEW. The Day by Day Plan Operators Make a Quick Turn. New York, July . R. G. Dun A Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade, which Issues tomorrow, will say: Current movements have been so largely of a temporary character, or else purely speculative, on the day by day plan, that they are not highly In structive. Thus an extensive shut-down of the cotton mills Is solely in the hope that a half production In July and August may clear the largely over stocked market. Stock fluctuations were still more ephemeral. Including two sharp de clines and partial rallies within the week, both laboriously ascribed to va rious political causes, but mainly due to keen operators who saw chances to make a quick turn. The failures for the week have been 237 in the United States against 137 last year, and 22 In Canada against Jl a year ago. GENTLEMEN'S FASHIONS. The prevailing fashion In men's suits seems to be the soft, dressy worsteds In black, blue, grey and chocolate color, although black, blue and brown chev iots are still very popular. Some of the younger men and a few older ones still cling to checks and figures in lighter shades. There Is no particular choice aa to cut. - The round or square corner, double breasted or frock suits are equally well liked. But the best part of it all is that Herman Wise offers an assortment of over 500 of such stylish garments for SU.oO a suit Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S.
