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

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.

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

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.

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.

(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.
