The idd Continental was a propellor, and when Itollea first took charge, hav ing been accustomed to a slde-wheelcr, one day In making his landing at As- tort'i, he ran Into Captain Flavel's wharf, damaging some of the piles. Af ter Inquiring for some one to make the necessary repairs, he found that Cap tain Flavel not only owned the wharf, but all the spare piles and pile driver with which to make good the damage. Captain Flavel at the time was In Port land, und upon his arrival there Cap tain Holies called up n him and advised him of the damage he had done to his property, stating that It his desire to have the wharf repaired and pay the expenses. Captain Flavel looked at him In astonishment and snld: "So you have broken my wharf, young man." llollc replied that he had, but was ready to repair the damage. After Captain Flavel got his hrenth ho said: Young man, Captain Connor and sev eral others have knocked my dock down at various times during the past twenty-six years, and you are the first man who ever came up and said he wanted to pay for such damage. Now I am going to tell you what I am going to do, I am going to repair the damage you have done, and I am not going to charge you a cent; but (putting on a severe look) see that It don't happen again." The last time Captain Flavel went down to San Francisco before he died, Captain Holies told him of the little Incident, and both had a hearty laugh over It. Captain Holies' many friends are sor ry to see him leave the Columbia, as both passengers and officers of the O. ii. and N. had implicit conf!(Umce in him, but all wish his success In his new field. Captain Italics' appointment to the position of Inspectors of hulls of the San Francisco district was secured without Influence and after passing a severe competitive examination.

IMPROVEMENTS IN ALDERBROOK Election of Officers of the East End Improvement Club Held Yesterday. CAR LINK MATTER LAID OVER Hate Street To He Opened as Well as Others East Astoria People De termined to Keep Moving Next Meeting Two Weeks Hence. Quite an enthusiastic crowd turned out yesterduy to attend the meeting at Ihe Aldebrook schoolhouse. of the Eaat End Improvi mrnt Club. Reports of Ihe various committees were read and din posed of. The committee on street Im provement submitted a rejxtrt show ing the owners of property that would come within the new district for tho lioproveini nt of I 'ale street. The report also showed Ihe present assessment of the various properties. After consid erable discussion It was decided to re turn the report to the committee with lio.iru. ilo, is that they go ahead and place It before the city council with a view to having a district created. Mr. J. W. Conn was present and stat ed that he would prefer? to have the mutter of the extension of the car line Into that part of the city laid over until the next meeting, which will occur the llrst Saturday following the presiden tial election. The irganizatlon of the East End Improvement Club was finally consum mated by the election of Mr. Max Young as vice president and R Van L'usen as treasurer. The selection of W. F. McOregor as president and E. J. Smith aa secretary at a former meeting was yesterday confirmed by a unani mous vote. A large number of people have already signed the club register anil a commltt.-e composed of Mr. Sli v itsoii, Mr. E. Peterson and Thomas 1).'I glly, ap"intcd f.w that purpose, ex-ptH-t to have many more names added to the prekcnt list by .(he-lime the next ni'-e'lng roll around. The people of I'ppertown are not go Iiik to let matters rest with the Im provement of one street. They are go ing to stir things up to that point where strangers coming to the city to locate. III feel that they are not seeing every thing If they fall to visit that part of the city. The property owners stand reudy to Join together and assist with sites any enterprise that comes along seeking a location, and they are ready to take care of any proposition, be It large or small. The east end Is going to have a street car line, of that the property ownefs feel sure, though Just at present the matter has been laid aside but only for a few weeks when It will be reviv ed. The next meeting will be held at the school house two weeks hence and everyone Interested Is asked to attend. CROWDS HEAR BRYAN. Talks to Many People In a Strong Re publican Illinois County. Rock Island, III., October 24. Not withstanding tho fact that Henry coun ty yields a Republican majority every election as large as that of anyunty of the state, an Immense gathering awaited Bryan at the fair grounds, and from the stand erected In the center of the race track In front of the reviewing stand, the Democratic nominee talked n an audience that numbered up Into the thousands. He was cheered re peatedly and once In a while a yellow badge would shout for the Republotcan candidate. At Galva the train stopped for a few moments and mingled with the cheers for Bryan came those for his opponent. The Democratic nominee asked if any body present though the gold standard was the best for the country, and there were cries of "no" and "yes," and "give us gold and silver." NO TENNESSEE FUSION. Democrats and Populists Cannot Agree on Which Shall Swallow the Other. Nashville, October 24. All chances of Democratlc-Populistlo fusion in Tennes see seem to have waned. The speeches and Influence of Tom Watson have strengthened the Intentions of the Pop ulist managers to fuse only on terms which the Democratic state committee will not yield to. Both parties, from present Indications, will continue their electoral tickets in the field nnd In the counties where the Australian ballot Njiitem prevails no changes can be made of names on the official ballot, the limit having expired at 12 o'clock last night.

Wheat Walla Wolla, 64665; Valley TO RAISE THE SHIP CLESMORAC Mr. 'm. Uurns, of the Glasgow Sal vage Company, Says It Can Ik Done. WILL AWAIT ORDERS HERE Many Shits Saved Annually Wheat Advances Will Help Shipping Sail ors, Like Children. Must He Han dled With Diplomacy. Mr. W. Hums, of Glasgow, Scotland, the representative of the Glasgow sal vaxe association, is In the city, having Lomplcted his report on the stranded fileiimorag, which he thinks can be floated and made seaworthy again. To an Astorlan representative last evening, when questioned In regard to the Glanmorag. Mr. Hums said that he had made all estimates of the cost of floating the ship, and had outlined his plana of operation. His' report was sent to Mr. Allen, the owner of the ship, across the Atlantic, who had pre viously arranged f'r Mr. Burns to make the examination and conduct the work If deemed advisable to attempt to save the vessel. Mr. Burns could not give the details of his plans until it should be decided what the owners wanted to do. He said he expected to remain In Astoria until he received a cable reply. It will be remembered that Mr. Hums bad charge of the work of rais ing the unfortunate Blatrmore which some months ago overturned In San Francisco harbor. "I have been In the wrecking business for sixteen years, and these events which seem to cause so much Interest and comment In your country are of dally occurrence with us, and the newspapers never think of (referring to our work. The floating of the steamer Umatilla the other day, (the raising of the Blalrmore. and hun idreds of Instances I might cite In Eu ropean waters only show what can be accomplished by modern science." j Fpeaklng of the recent sharp advance I In w heat, Mr. Burns said. "I know- nothing about w heat, but I believe that If better prices prevail for any ;lme, a large number of Idle ships will be employed, charter rates will be ad vanced, and certainly California, Ore gon and Washington farmers will reap a money harvest as well aa the brokers and shipping firms. Wheat makes the world go, and good prices mean fair profits to all engaged In its handling." Referring to the difficulty on board the Andrada with the seamen, Mr. Burns said that sailors are much like spoiled children, and that a master was obliged to use good management and take them in the right way In order to avoid difficulties and trouble. Some of the worst men, he said, could be easily handled by the use of a little diplomacy. MONETARY CONDITIONS. Features for the Past Week Are Gen erally Quite Favorable. New York, October 24. The New York Financier says this week: The Increase In the reserve of the associated banks of New Tork City for the week ending October 24 was a fa vorable feature of the current bank statement, revealing as It did the ele ment of strength In local Institutions, which was Interpreted as a reassuring sign. The gain In the net rash hold ings of the banks, largely In specie, came us a pleasant surprise, as It had been thought the greater part of the gold received from Europe during the past seven days would not be reflected lu the statement owing to the fact that it had been on option account The In. crease In specie, therefore, was Justly regarded as an evidence that hoarding had not played an Important part In the week's transactions, or else some of the gold Is flowing into the banks. An item of some Interest Is the In crease In the circulation of national backs. Since July last the circulation of the banks has expanded steadfly. The total Increase is no less than Jfi,- 000,000. The circulation was the natural outgrowth of the peculiar conditions prevailing, and it ts to be inferred now that the situation Is more normal, Notes will be retired as they come back. ANTITHETICAL CRITICISM. Remarkable Views of a British Editor on the City of Chicago. (Copyrighted, '96. by Associated Press.) London, October 24. The Dally, Mail which Is printing a series of Interesting letters from America, devotes several columns this week to Chicago, which it describes as the "Queen and gutter snipe of cities; the cynosure and the cesspool of the world; the most beauti ful and the most squalid of cities, with widely and generously planned streets of twenty miles In length, where It Is unsafe to walk at night; a city where women ride straddle-wise, and million aires dine at mid-day; the chosen seat of public spirit and at the same time of municipal boodle." Jerome K. Jerome's paper, which Is today notoriously hostile to everything American, has a vicious attack this week on American bicycles, denouncing them as "utter trash." A UNPRECEDENTED Ei-.Mlnister to Russia Smith Thus Characterizes the Pilgrimages to Canton. THE PEOPLE COME FROM AFAR Major McKlnley Replies to the Charges of Coercion Made by Democratic Na tional Chairman Jones "Not Coercion, but Cohesion." Canton, October 24. "The like of this has never been on earth before." said Charles Emery Smith, ex-minister to Russia, as he stood by an Associated I'ress representative, viewing the great line of marchers and counter-marchers parading on broad North Market, to and from the Mecca of the pilgrimages of the people from many states. Today's visitors broke the record In long distance parties and variety of delegations. Businessmen and farmers came from far and near and railroad men called by thousands from Missouri, Kansas and Iowa. From early dawn until late tonight the McKlnley house was surrounded by a continuous Jam, re-enacting the exciting scenes of other days. Major McKlnley spoke with un usual fervor all day. He made partic ular response to the coercion charges made by National Chairman Jones when he said In his address this even- Ing to the British Isles American Club, of Cleveland: They talk about coercion the coer- clon of employes by employers. They mistake the spirit of this campaign.

Ev - ery one of my fellow employes knows that he can vote against my politics and talk against my politics and work against my politics. Major Priest died the other day at the age of 90, being an employe of the New York Central for fifty years. He was a Democrat of Democrats, and a leader of his party in the Mohawk Valley. He was my polit ical opponent, my subordinate, whom I could discharge. It would have been dangerous to the health and good looks of any demagogue to tell the old ma jor that he could not work and vote for the Democratic ticket. In the Cleveland canvass In '92 I spoke, as now, for the Republican ticket. I said after one of the meetings to a switch man in the yards: "Well Jerry, how do you stand this year?" He said: Boss, that's a good speech you made last night, but the boys are agin you this time." And a large majority of the employes of the New Tork Central voted for Cleveland, though both their president and chairman of the board, Mr. Vanderbllt, were for Harrison. I said to Jerry the other day: "Well, Jarry, how are you now? He said: "Boss, we're all with you this time. No 50-cent dollars for us." As one of the largest employers of la bor In the United States in my official capacity, as a laborer myself upon the payroll, and liable to be dismissed as any of the others by the superior boorl of directors. I resent, I repel, this insult to the manhood and the independence of the workingmen of the United States this Insult to their intelligence, for they know better. HARRISON AT INDIANAPOLIS.

New Tork, October 24. Seldom has there been such dissatisfaction shown by spectators at a football gams aa that demonstrated this afternoon at ths conclusion of the contest between Tsle and the Carlisle Indian school. In ths first half the Indians surprised the New Haven kickers by scoring a touchdown from which a goal was kicked la less than Ave minutes, and the form thus displayed puzzled Tale very much. However, before the half had ended Tale secured two touch-downs and twa goals, making the score 13 to In their favor. In the second half Jameson, for the Indians, secured a touch-down, which was not allowed. The decision of Ref eree Hlckok created much dissatisfac tion. Neither side scored in the second half. The crowd surrounded the In- dlan players, cheering them, anO thera j was not a Tale cry to be heard. The Indians piayed a remarkably stronc gune and the only advantage Tale had was by trick plays.

Af- j ter tne aoora were opened 4,000 people Luickly packed the hall, while 6.000, unable to gain admittance, remained In j the streets In front, many of them touting 'Wo Bryan" as an echo to the bursts of McKlnley enthusiasm on the Inside. When Wolcott made his ap pearance upon the platform, the vset audience rose to Its fjet and .cheered for several minutes. Some persons In the rear of the hall attempted to create a disturbance, but were quickly suppressed by the speak er, who denounced ihas as "hired loaf ers and bums who had come there to insult a gathering of respectable peo ple."
