FKKIOHT HATKH IIAIHKD. The men haul ol the city yesterday wi re completely taken by surprise. If a bombshell had been exploded In the Mtreeta It would not have caused more xi Hem-tit. For months put the rat of freight by steamer from Kan Fran cisco to Astoria ha been one dolbtr per ton. This applied to all classes of merchandise. The Columbia arrived yesterday with large consignment for various merchants here. When the fr igb' b'lls were psj sented by the lompnny. to say thnt the merchants were astounded. I expreaalng It mild ly. The bill railed for a rate of eight dollar it ton. Thl I a higher rate than ha ever prevailed on general merchandise. Klght dollars wa for merly paid on fruit, high class pxnl and perishable freight. Kvery mer chant knows and acknowledges that a dollar a ton is an abnormally low rate and much less than the service Is worth. But they are of the opinion that two dollars, or possibly three dol lars per ton. Is the highest rate that should be charged on the general run of buslnea at this port. None of the men hauls paid their bills yesterday, so It Is reported, and some of them have cxpresaed the Intention of con testing the rate. , OLNET ITEMS. Olney. Or., August 5, 1S9.

The damage done was com paratively slight, and Captain Car ruthers says that he had intended to put in a shorter stick any nay, since there Is now no prospect of a race with the Aggie. He will save the trou ble and expense of making the chanre. BCSINESS IMPROVING. The clothing stores did a good busi ness yesterday.

The Costestists Worked lider a Tremes duas Striis, sad Hosic Beaxtifal Shots Were .Made The Wlsaer Nervosa. Chicago. August 8. The great Du- pont Love bird tournament haa passed Into hlatotry and Bert C'laiidge. of Bal timore. Is the world's champion. Out of 148 nominations only tlve kill ed straight. Claridge was the first to accomplish this feat. It was i o'clock when Heferee Watson called the five men to the "A" set of traps. Kirkever stood at 27 yards; Claridge, Miller and Ootlleb at 2 yards, and Bell at 30 yards. Claridge was the first man to go to the score. All the contestants except Bell were pulsating with ex citement. Claridge killed clean; the Texan followed suit; Cotlelb shot un der his bird with both barrels and fell back, and Bell knocked over a swift right quart erer with his first barrel. The tension In the four remaining men was tremendous. On the second round Claridge killed nicely, but used his second for safety Miller killed with his first, and Kirk ever grassed his bird beautifully. Bell hit his bird with both barrela. It was a hard driver, and fell dead out of the bounds. In the third round Miller and Kirk ever mlsaed. They could stand the strain no longer. Claridge had to Kill his next two birds, which he did, but was so nervous when he went to the trap for the last time that he sent a load of shot Into the ground In front of him before calling "pull." NEW YORK BANKS. Loans Steadily Contracting Under Ex isting Conditions. New York. August 8. The Financier says this week: The statement of the clearing house banks of New York city for the week nded August Sth shows a continued decrease In the principal Items. A con traction in loans was to have been expected in view of the Influences that prevailed during the week, but the amount of contraction was gratifying!) small, when circumstances are taken Into consideration. The principal loss waa In deposits. and at first sight this appears out of proportion to other changes, but a great deal of cash haa gone out of the New York banks to the West dur ing the week, a greater amount. In fact, than would have been the case under more normal conditions. Chica go called for large balances, and the demand from Southern and other Western points was heavy. The loans of the New York banks are down to t468.O37.6O0. a loss of $8,000,000 since July 3. The total, however. Is nearly 143.000,000 less 'than at this time last year and It is worthy of mention that while loans were expanding last year at the rate of about 2.000,00i) a week, they are now contracting stead ily. TROL'BLE AT A CANNERY. Something of a disturbance occurred yesterday afternoon at Seaborg's Col umbia cannery In Vppertown. sheriff Hare was telephoned for, but as be was out of the city. Deputy Prael re scinded to the call. It was reported that 150 fishermen were on the cannery dock, and that they had used force to prevent the landing of fish from the Ihvaco traps. The reason for their ac tion was that since they had left the day before for the fishing grounds, and during their absence, a notice had been posted at the cannery that only three cents would be paid for fish. This the men refused to accept under the cir cumstances, and rather than submit, threw their own fish overboard. Dep uty Prael, feeling unable to handle the situation, called on the police depart ment, and Captain Hallock went ro his assistance. No acts of violence were committed, and no arrests were made. DEATH FROM HEAT. St. Louis, August 8. This week has been one of the hottest on record in St. Louis In many years. Today, for the third successive day, St. Louis has led the entire country.

Mrs. Craven's contract Is In trer handwriting, and has no witnesses, or any notarial seal. Mrs. Craven says the notarial seal waa purposely with held to avoid publicity.

I take for my lawful hus band, James O. Fair. Nettle R. Cra ven." Jin.

It was very quiet at both the Republican and Dem ocratic headquarters today. The lack of visitors Is attributed to the extreme heat. The mail, however, continues heavy, and the demand for literature from both committees Is enormous. Letters received at the Republican headquarters from Nebraska say that Bryan's state is safe for McKinley, and from South Dakota, the Informa tion received Indicates the Republican majority will be Increased rather than diminished. FOOTBALL LEAGUE. The Why and Wherefore of the Dis agreement Editor Astorlan: The Pacific Journal, the largest and most Influential paper published in U waco, yesterday printed a two--Kilumn letter from one of Its proprietors. Mr. J. D. Murray, with reference to the recent split In the Football League. I will not take up your valuable space with abuse or recrimination which forms the principal part of Mr. Mur ray's letter, but Intend to state as briefly as possible a few pertinent facts: After Astoria was defeated by Ilwa co at 6mlth's point every newspaper paid the visitors several compliments on their excellent performance. At the conclusion of the match members of the A. F. C. cheered the winners heart ily, they were, presented with a beau tiful bouquet of flowers, and the ut most good feeling prevailed. Astoria had no grumbling to do. She took her defeat as she has taken others grace fully and In the proper spirit. If any III feeling has been stirred up subse quently. It has been caused by the Pa cific Journal and Ita unnecessary at tempts to make trouble. Two weeks ago that paper contained a most ex aggerated and Incorrect report of the game, going out of Its way to Insult not only the Astoria players, but the ladles and gentlemen who were pres ent as spectators. It announced the score as 6 to S, when In reality it was 4 to 2, and contained many other In accuracies of a like character. Mr. Murray talks about Astoria's un sportsmanlike'conduct," The A. r. C. has played Association football for the last seven years. During that time It has scored many victories and some reverses, including contests with Port land clubs and Fort Canby. In our treatment of visiting teams 'he result of the games haa cut absolutely no figure. Indeed, every visiting team has been bouquetted by us after Its game and sent home happy whether winners er losers. Mr. Wilson, now captain of the Ilwaco team, knows this trait of Astoria very well and has himself ex- prssed his admiration to the writer of the manner in which the A. F. C. always entertained its guests. It can not believe he passed the remark at the South Bend game credited to him by Mr. Murray. Mr. Murray says that the Astoria captain appointed Mr. Astbury as ref eree at Long Beach. This is absolute ly untrue. Mr. Murray himself visited Astoria, and personally requested Mr. Astbury to act. His subsequent action In appointing the South Bend ref?ree was not sanctioned in any manner by the League. Mr. Murray in one breath declares that Astoria forfeited its South Bend game, and In the next says that he afterwards requested Astoria, by wire, to play. The abuse which Mr. Murray sees fit to hurl at Mr. Ferrendini. of South Bend. Is entirely unwarranted. As toria's resignation was written and about to be dispatched when he arriv ed in this city. We resigned from the League mainly for the following rea sons: 1 Mr. Murray's report of the Ilwaco- Astoria game, In which he, the presi dent of the League, took advantage of his position as "part editor" of the Journal to abuse and vilify our club. 2 His attempt to compel us to for feit our South Bend game, without any authority, and when both contesting teams were equally willing to post pone the match. Mr. Ferrendinl's sportsmanlike con duct In putting the A. F. C. in posses sion of the facts regarding the presi dent's mountebank actions, is highly appreciated by every member of our club, including Yours truly. F. M. GtTNN. Highest of all in Leavening Power.

One of the marked svents in the his tory of Masonry In Astoria occurred last evening.

The following mem bers of the Masonic Board of Relief, of Portland, were also among the in vited guests of the evening: D, L. Po vey, president; Dr. L. M. Davis, Mr. Wilson, and Robert Lutke. The entire board of relief were asked to come down, but owing to business engage ments, were unable to comply with tb Invitation. There were present la the . hall. Masons from Ilwaco, Albany, RaJ- I nler, as well as from Boston, New " ! Jersey, and Florida. I After the ceremonies were concluded the ladies of the Order of the Eastarn . -Star spread a sumptuous banquet j which was thoroughly enjoyed by the 'visitors and the members of the home lodge. The event was a memorable one !ln the history of Astoria Masonry, and both the visitors and the members of Temple Lodge No. 7 were highly pleas led with the success of the lodge work and the evening's entertainment. Worshipful Master Elmer F. Thayer said that it was one of the most en-. Joyable occasions at which he had ver been present, and that speaking for himself and brpther member of Port land lodge, be could simply say- that the courtesies received at the hands of Worshipful Master Louna berry and the ladies of the Eastern Star were highly appreciated and could not have been excelled.
