Ilaaalilp of the Pacific squadron, made Its en Irancn Inlu th Astoria harbor early yesterday morning, dilutee were fired and whistle blown to annoiinre the arrival of this handaom crulaer. Ad nitral Beardalee win personally In command, and brought bis vessel to anchor opposite Flavefs dork at I o'clock. 1'llot Woods brought her In from the sea, and River Pilot Patter son took her up strram at sharp S o'clock laat vnlng. While walling for the tld t lie day was spent In Aato rla cleaning up and making all prep aratlona fur her entrance Into Port land. No vlaltora were allowed on board except a few personal friends of the officers. United State officials and refHeeeniatlves of the pre. Admiral Beardslee was quite unwell during the day and remained In his quarters most of the time. A dinner party had been arranged for him on shore by Dr. M. SI. Walker, but at the laat moment the admiral had to senj his excuse. The Philadelphia Is a protected cruiser of about WhjO tona displace ment, with armored conning tower. She Is 335 feet In length. 48 feet ( Inches beam, drawing 23 feet forward and :3 feet ( Inches aft. Hhe la fitted with all of the lateat electrical Im provements, lighting snd signal appa ratus, search lights, etc. She carries twelve six-Inch rilled guns In her main battery, six (-pound llotchklns rapid fliing Runa, Catr.lr.g eun and other arms. She has Klx different methods if steering by attain, end If them- are all shot away In action, the apparatus can be disconnected and the steering done by hand beneath the protected deck. The signals from the bridge to the engine room are transmitted by electricity and the orders are repeated to the commanding officer by the an me method. There are ninety-seven water-tight comparments In the ship, which make her absolutely safe In case of accident In battle or other wise. Hhe la propelled by two sets of triple-expansion engines, of 10,500 horsepower, operating twin screws. A complete machine shop, printing office, hoepltsl. dispensary, dynamo room, and other special departments are among the particularly Interesting features of the vessel. The galleys mess rooms and quarters for the men are models of neatness. The adoilral'a quarters are on the upper after deck, and the ward room, with the captain's private quarters and the accommoda tions for the junior officers on the lower deck are very handsome apart ments almost equal to those of an Atlantic liner. A library und read Ing room add to the comfort of the men, and at every port the latest dally papers from nil over the country are received and placed on file. The fresh water for dally consumption Is dls tilled from common sea water at the rate of 1300 gallons a day, and this In turn Is frosen. In conversation with an Astorlan representative who visited the flag ship. Surgeon Hesler stated that the vessel was one of the most comforta ble In tha navy, and that all her men were well contented with their quar ters. She carries 400 men all told SO officers and 370 non-commlssloned offi cers, seamen and marines. Captain Cotton has a large family under his control and takes good care of them. The Philadelphia made 19.86 knots per hour on her trial trip Just before she was turned over to the govern ment by the Cramps, her builders. On a long distance cruise, covering some 12,000 miles, she made the remarkable record of twelve knots per hour, aver age time. The mascott of the ship is a little black and white dog named Gore," The commander states that about seventy-flve per cent of the line officers of the navy today are gradu ates of Annapolis, and that the per centage Is Increasing.

Ilwaco having already won one game from South Bend. The E. L. Dwyer leave for the foot ball grounds at 2 o'clock sharp this afternoon. The Iris leaves at 2:30. THE REGATTA. Graduully the details for the forth coming regatta are being arranged. The soliciting committee anticipate that In a short time they will have their labors completed and sufficient funds raised for the carnival. Sub committees are doing good work on thi details connected with the great entertainment, and every Indication Is presented of the most successful re- regattu ever given on the Columbia. Chairman Gratke, of the press com mittee, went to Portland last night and expects to secure the meeting of the State Press Association In Astoria during regatta week. Chairman Page yesterday paid a visit to Admiral Beardslee on board the Philadelphia, and Dr. Walker also called on the admiral and Invited him to a private dinner which the admiral was unable to accept on account of illness. He could not state definitely as to Just what might be done In re gard to sending ships of the white squadron to take part In the regatta. but seemed to think that It would be difficult to arrange It. Chairman Page, however, has not received his letter from Senator Mitchell, nor has he given up hope of being able to get a war ship here, if not the Oregon Itself. Everything else In connection with the regatta and firemen's tournament Is going off in good shape, and Asto ria will demonstrate that she can have a grand water carnival, battleship or no battleship.

SENATOR WILSON FOR FREE SILVER Hut I'ntll the .Nations Agree He Thinks the United States Can not Co It Alone. HE WILL SUPPORT McKKLEY Democrats Do Sot Sttd to Seek s Stn Issst tor tbe Cssipaiijs Voted tor Tret Silver Became ot tli Cosstitsests. Seattle, July 1". Senator John Wil son was in Seattle today, from bis home In Spokane. Eastern Washing ton is the heart of the free silver sen timent of this state, but tbe senator Is strong for McKlnley and the Repub lican platform. In an Interview today he said: "In view of the terrible experience of the past three years it readily will be seen that It will be absolute ly necessary for the Democratic party to seek a new Issue upon which It might go before the people In the coming campaign. However, the Is sue Is made, and It must be squarely met. I am and always have been a bl-metalllst, but I have always had and still have serious doubts as to the ability of the United State to main tain the free coinage of silver with out the co-operation of at Jeast two other great European commercial na tions. I do not think the co-operation of England essential to an Interna tional agreement I think Austria, Germany, France and the United States could successfully maintain such a policy. I have cast every vote since I have represented this state in the senate for the free coinage of sil ver. I have so voted because I desir ed to give expression to the views of the people of the state of Washing ton, as I understood them. I now think I have a right to go upon the stump of the state of Washington and ask those whose advice I have been following, and whose petitions I have been heeding, that they stand In line with me for the Republican ticket, and trust to the Intelligence and patriot Ism of a Republican administration to solve this question through the me dium of International agreement "Friends of silver in the Republican party can make no successful fight for silver unless they remain Ira the Re publican ranks and give their aid and support to those who stand In the foreground." BRADSTREET'S REPORT. Encouraging Features of Trade Shown by Comparison. New York. July 17. Bradstreet's to morrow will say: Nearly all the general merchandise markets continue dull and the volume of business Is smaller than anticipat ed. Little or no disposition Is shown to engage in new enterprises, both city and country merchants continuing to purchase with more thanvusual con servatism, in view of the unsettled financial outlook and the low range of prices. The total number of business fail ures In the United States this week shows an Increase of 255 compared with 219 last week. When contrasted with the corresiwnding week in 1S95, the Increase during the past business days is 41, and with the second week of July, 1S94, the current week's In crease Is 43. During the corresponding week of 1S93, however, in the middle of the panic, there were more than twice as many failures as this week. Among other favorable features are the relatively encouraging reports concerning trade at nine business cen ters. SEATTLE GETS THE PLUM. Seattle, July 1".

Amidst the uproar and booming of cannon, the pealing of church bells, screaming of steam whistles and the shouts of 20,000 people, William J. Bryan, the Demo cratic nominee for president, entered this, the capital city of Nebraska, this evening.

The mayor of the city, city council, and distinguished citizens of every political belief were at the train. BULLETIN NO, 18. National Wheelmen's League Appoint a Representative In Oregon.

QUESTION STILL IX ABEYANCE Yesezselas Dispstc I'ssettlcd, isd ss tsrls Settlesiest Is Sot Expected -Brit-; isk ladisposcd to Isclsde Territorial Dispates. Washington, July 17. The corres pondence which passed between the governments of the United State and Great Britain respecting the estab lishment of a general system of arbi tration for the settlement of any dis putes which might arise between the countries, and also for the settlement by arbitration of the dispute over tha Venezuelan boundary, baa been mads public in tbe shape of an even dozen letter which have been exchanged be tween Secretary Olney, Lord Salis bury, Sir Julian Pauncefote and Am bassador Bayard. The correspondence Is of great In terest In marking a sensible advance toward the adoption between the twe English speaking nations of a princi ple of arbitration as a means of set tling; disputes between themselves, but the persons who have looked forward with hope and expectation to a speedy conclusion of the treaties embodying the arbitration principle for a settle ment of either or both of the great open issues between the two nations, are doomed to disappointment for at the date of exchange of the hut note, the one from Secretary Olney to the British ambassador here, dated wlthia the month past points of the most vital nature In the case, not only of the Venezuelan question specifically, but of the general arbitration proposi tion as well, were still the subject ot discussion without much expectation of an early adjustment Tbe notable feature of the correspondence are the fact that whereas Bayard, by In struction of Secretary Olney, propos ed negotiations at Washington re specting the Venezuela boundary dis pute. Lord Salisbury broadened It in to a general arbitration scheme, fol lowing the lead set by tbe late Secre tary Gresham In tbe spring of 1S95, and that Secretary t)lney later insisted upon disassociating the two subjects, evidently fearing an entangling alli ance otherwise; that as to general ar bitration, the issues which still pre vent the agreement are the Indisposi tion of the British government to in clude territorial disputes, aave with the addition of provisions that. In the estimation of Secretary Olney, wiQ render the attempt at arbitration nu gatory, because there are no means of making the findings of the arbitra tors binding upon the parties or re moving them from the possibility of infinite appeals. As to the Venezuelan matter, spe cifically, the difficulty that cannot be overcome is the refusal ot the British government to subject to the action of arbitration the territory upon which British subjects have actually settled.
