In Niivi-iiiIkT, ISM, Messrs. Homier und Hammond, of Montana, were In duced to come to Astoria and look over the slluiitli.n. A subsidy of lands had la i n raised, which would revert to the orUlnnl owner. If a i-ontruct for the loiisirurllon of the railroad was not entered Into, by nr before the flrst of the January follnwinir. The niBotia tlons with Homier and Hammond re sult. -.1 in their ciintructlni? with our representatives on December 1st, lV.'l. to construct a railroad front Astoria to a conn.cUon with the Northern Pacific liiillroud ul Coble, In Columbia county. At the time nf enterlnR Into said con tract Mr. Hammond stated that they were cninmeminit at the hphib end of the . ni.-rprlse. that they should have lirst arruiiKdl the llnamial part of the umb'ttakliiK. and then, If they hud been surcessful. enter into the contract for the construction of the rtwd; but ow ing to the fact that the lands would revert to the ow ners on the first of Jan uary following, they would reverse the order of business, enter Into the con tract Hist, and then undertake to raise the money. At the time the contract was entered into, we were In the midst of the greatest huslneiw and financial depression known to the people of this country In this generation-, and pre dictions came thick nnd fast, from rail road Hiiple und tiiinnelers. that Hon-m-r and Hammnnd would fall In their undertaking. They, however, believed in It, and left Immediately after the contract was executed for New York lo look after the tlnanciu! part of the enterprise. How impatiently we wait ed, for four long months, hoping from day to day, to hear that they had been successful, und how despondent we grew, on one or two occasions, when it was rumored that they were unsuc cessful, and bad abandoned the at tempt. We were used to defeat; but Ibis seemed our last hope, and what consolation It was to hear yiose who knew Mr. Hammond say that they would not believe he hud failed until he came to Astoria and admitted it. Alsuit the tlist of April Mr. Ham mond returned and Informed us thut he could not raise the money necessary for use in the construction of the road on the contract he had signed with us. but said that Willi certain changes therein he could und would build the road. How readily we agreed to the changes asked for in the contract by Mr. Hammond, and with what satisfac tion we saw him purchase the Seaside road, paying upwards of ItW.OOO there for. nnd enter upon the construction of Hie main line to lloble. Since that time, the work has been pushed stead ily forward, the Seaside road has been put in good repair, new, , commodious cam hate been placed thereon, the road has been extended Into the city upon as line a trestle as was ever built for any railroad, ten miles of road bed, between this clly and noble has been completed, nnd the remainder of the grading of the entire road is under con tract, the rails for the road have been bought, and are. at this time, being discharged nt this port. In short, Mr. Hammond and his associates are now building from Astoria to C.oble Hie best railroad on the Pacific coast All of the work being done by them Is of the very best quality, and they are laying a "f.-potind steel rail. Notwithstanding that all this has been done and Is being done, In the midst of the hardest times this country has ever seen, a portion of the press of this city nnd some of our citizens seem to delight In speaking dlsparag Ingly i f Mr. Hammnnd and of the work he Is doing here. They speuk of the work us being Inferior, and would lead strangers to believe that a little "one horse" road Is being built to connect Astoria with the railroad world, when. in fact, It will when completed, bo the best road on the Pacific coast.

A thous and cb-rmun-Amerlcans of Cleveluml met this afternoon and made one of the most Impressive and enthusiastic dele gations that has yet come to Canton. Tiny finished In splendid style the miignlllcent demonstration of the day, no auspiciously begun by the big com mercial travellers' party from Chicago. The merchant travellers and their Canton comrades. Joined by the Ueu- 1st Hampton Mi Klnley Club, tilled a mile of afreet with red, white and blue proldtlon and gold standard umbrel las as they paraded to the McKinley home. The Herman-Americans and the thousands that Jolm-d them each curried an American Hug. As Major McKinley apieared on the diHirst.-p of his home he was saluted by his callers with such a waving of "(ml Cllory" as he had seldom seen before. Kdwuid Hohm made a classic address, pledging the aerman-Amerl- can "support of honest money" and "uiilllnchlng patriotism" for thos! whose mother country was that of 8el- gel and Shurx. Major McKinley made a brief response. In his address to the commercial travellers tislay, Major McKinley said: "You are not only carriers of com merce, but creators of i-onfldence; not only advocates of progress, but pro- iiiiit-rs of prosperity. You Inspire eith er coiilldence or distrust, for you tell the truth about the condition of the country. You not only sell goods or used to (great laughter and cheering) hut you disseminate Information among your customers. There is no more cer tain barometer of the business of the Culled States than the sentiment of the men of which this body, assembled here. Is representative. You give new hope and stimulate new effort In that great body of businessmen upon whom so largely depends the revival of bus- Im-ss in all parts of the country. Hut, above all else, my fellow citizens, la coiilldence. "And we cunnot get coiu'deiice by threatening to revolutionize all vulue aud repudlute the obligations. Loth pub lic and private. Policies thut are good for the Eastern and Central states are good for the W est and great Northwest It never pays to buy cheap goods from a rival whose object In selling to you at a low price is to establish a bus! ness which will In time destroy your own. We want no cheap goods In this country at the expense of the tree and honest laborer. We want no cheap goods whose production would reduce us In the United States to Industrial and social degredation. "Itcciprocity, too, the gift of Hluine and Harrison to the nation, deferred by C.urlleld's untimely death, was at length proclulmed by that great presi dent, statesman and patriot, Benjamin Harrison. Reciprocity, the twin of pro tection ninl the true hnndmnld of pros perity, ulready hits a strong hold on the affections of our people. We will have no policy by which we do not get as much us we give, and will inaugu rate no reciprocity policy which takes from from American worklngmen a single day's work that they can possi bly get. We will simply revive this policy that put American flour iu Ha vana free and gave Cuban sugar free to the people of tho United States on terms ulike Just, fair, honorable and advantageous to this country nnd Cu ba. (Renewed cheering.) This policy of Harrison nnd Itluiiie (applause) means the supremacy of trade not its Injury." THK MAKKKTS. New York, August 29.

VILAS LK(;i:i) FOR I'KF-SIDE.T The Benator Is llelng Pushed as the Most Logical Candidate One of the First to Respond to the Call of tils Party. Indianapolis. August 29. Credentials of the various states and territories are being recelviil and tabulated at the National Democratic headquarters. It Is stated that proxies will be few and that practically every state and territory that has nominated delegates will be represented by the vote. Applications' for tickets of admission are pouring In. It will probably be the plan of those having the distribution in charge to give persons from abroad the preference. Many letters from all over the Unit ed States received at headquarters ex press preference for certain presidential candidates. Senator Vilas Is being urged as the most logical candidate by several sections of the country. His friends base their claim on the fact that he attended the gold Democratic conference at Chicago; that he was one of the first men to respond when the opfsments of the Chicago platform were called together to determine their course of action. It Is further urged that the plan of organization and the general scheme under which the con vention meets came largely from Mr. Vilas, who was In that conference. The national committee will convene Sep tember L- HE IS NOT DEAD BUT SLEEPETH. Mr. Wills, of Fiesta Fame, In the Role of Whale Hunter. The Ban Francisco Examiner, In Its announcement of the arrival of the big log raft, of P.obertson 4 Balnea, face tiously remarks that when the raft passed through the Oolden Gate several harpoons were seen sticking In Its bock. "It Is supposed," the Examiner goes on to say, "that T. C. Wills, man ager of the recent whaling excursion, mistook the raft for a leviathan of the deep, as It passed Pigeon Point, and let fly a volley at It before he discov ered his mistake." Mr. Wills, It will be remembered. Is one of the gentlemen who In June, IRIS, wanted to get up what he termed "a la fiesta," condi tional that the Astnrlans give him a bonus of $1500. build him an amphi theatre with a seating capacity of 10,000, advertise "the la fiesta," and In addition make him a present of 85 per cent of the gross receipts. It would lie needless for Mr. Wills to go to the expense of purchasing harpoons In chasing whales, since he might econ omize by making projectiles out of his superabundance of Iron-clad nerve. AFTER BANDITS. Silver City, N. M., August 29 Two companies of United States troops have again been ordered Into the field to assist Marshal Hall In an attempt to capture a gang of border bandits and are scouring the plains in com pany with the deputies. The boldness of the bandits Is remurkable. Some of them came within a few miles of Dem lng and passed the night with a rancher, and in the morning came into town, called at the postolflce and got mail, and their presence was not known by the olllcers until they had left. There are 150 men in pursuit and a complete circle has been formed around a radius of twenty miles. THE RED MEN. It is estimated that 600 people will attend the Red Men's excursion this morning. The wather is fine and all are guaranteed a. good time. Every preparation has been made at Seaside to accommodate all those who may go on the outing, and with the different exercises and games the excursion will be one of the most attractive of the season.

RESERVE IS ABOVE AVERAGE Heavy Losses to the Interior, but tha Net Decrease In Cash Much Small er than Was Expected En couraging Features. New York, August 29. Th New York Financier says: The movement of money out of th clearing house banks since July 11 ha reduced their deposits nearly 154,000, 000, and In the same length of time their loans have shrunk 124,000,000. De spite this heavy drain, however, the bank statement for the current week is a repetition In its favorable features of the one preceding It, and th banks at what might be called the apex of the present stringent situation, hold nearly t'J.OOO.OOO more cash than th law requires. It Is true that thl cash is not equally distributed, and that many of the Institution axe below their legal reserves; but the showing la en couraging in many ways. Th opera tions which brought about the change In the present statement are similar to those of the previous week. Tb banks lost heavily to the Interior, but the net decrease In cosh waa much smaller than had been expected. It is encouraging to note that the re serve is still above the average at tbia season for a long series of year pre ceding the ISaj panic. Tb heavy inflow of foreign gold will have a marked ef fect on succeeding bonk statements, and money rates promise to fall ma terially before the end of the season. There Is no doubt that imports will continue uutil the legitimate demand for money Is satisfied. Nothing but an unforeseen panic can put rates back to the figure they have held for several weeks post. WIRES DOWN TO VICTORIA. Impossible to Get the Result of th Great Cricket Match.
