The communication i.H furnished for publication In order that those who have long been desiring to mark the opening of these Important works, especially the citizens of The DalU-s and Astoria, by some fitting ce ebration, may have timely warning to enable them to make the necessary preparations. Captain Fisk says In his notice that the Cascades canal ard locks will be Ofiened to navigation at 2 p. m. Thurs day, November 8. For the present they will be operated for the passage of boats only during the hours of day light, and It may be necessary to still further limit their use to certain hours of the day.

"In order to obtain reliable records of the traffic using the canal, all boats are required by law to furnish Informa tion as to tonnage, freight and passen gers on blanks duly approved by the secretary of war. "There will be no charge of any kind for the use of the canal or for the blanks furnished." DESTRUCTIVE CYCLONE. Sweeps Over the Southern States, Do ing Much Damage.

HANSEN 'The executive committee of the Fed erated Trades were Instructed to coll upon him and endeavor to adjust the matter (of differences between them), but he refused to talk with them, and even went so far as to threaten to shoot one of them If he ever came In side the Budget office, and otherwise acted In the manner of a man bereft of reason. As the committee could get no audience with him, In the face of existing circumstances they were com pelled to declare the office unfair and called out any union men working therein. This was done, and since then he of the Budget haa been spuming about "boycotts." "anarchistic plots," and the "Heathen Chinee."

Oct. 27. 1J94 the Worklngmen of the United States. To refute the false statement, as we sincerely believe It to be. and to correct the impression our friends and ac quaintances may have formed concern ing our signatures to a campaign doc ument going, the rounds of the press and circulated bioadcast on the streets, entitled. "A Proclamation," In. which It Is made to appear that we are In favor of free silver at any ratio, and the substantial establishment of two stand ards of monev. contradictory as the terms may be, we wish to be recorded by all who are Interested In our posi tion us being emphatically and une- lulvocally against any such measures, but are for the sound money plank promulgated by the Republican conven tion at St. Louis. Our signatures were obtained nearly three yeiu-s ago to a document pretend ing to be a memorial to congress, then in session, which In our belief and mem ory was a much milder paper than Is the "proclamation" referred to, and no matter what our opinions may have been on any question at the time of our signing the memorial, nearly three years n;o, we have learned enough since on the subject to warrant us In re nouncing the attempt at the free coin age of silver at 16 to 1. believing It to be directly against the Interests of la bor, and also believing that, under the condition of free coinage, this country will be subjected to one of the most frlxhtful panics any county In this world has ever seen. Our belief in this statement is strengthened by the admission made by William Jennings Bryan, candidate for president, In a recent speech In the Northwest, wherein he Is reported as saying that he though free stiver coin age would bring for the present stagna tion and panic, but from which In four years we would recover. We do not believe this country can stand an addi tional four years of misery and dis tress, and are therefore opposed to the sentiments contained in the aforesaid 'proclamation." Respectfully, P. M.

Two colored men were killed by lightning. Several persons were badly cut and bruised. AT NEW ORLEANS. New Orleans, October 29. About 4:30 o'clock this afternoon a cyclone struck this city on the river front Just above Penlslon street and swept over a dis tance of about a mile and a half, or thirty blocks, from Penlslon street to Robin street, the track of the storm being about 100 feet wide from the river to Penlslon street. The conveyors of the new elevator of the Illinois Central Railroad were slightly damaged and Jno. Whitemeyer and John J. Buck, em ployed at the elevator, were lifted from the ground, dashed against the elevator and severely hurt. Hundreds of buildings in the track of the storm were damaged. A number of lives were reported lost, but so far these reports have not been verified. The property loss Is estimated at J100,- 000. DAMAGE AT MEMPHIS. Memphis, October 29. A cyclone pass ed over LaFayette county, Mississippi, late this afternoon, destroying farm houses, uprooting trees and doing other damage. the stringency was the calling of loans by some of the banks that wished to prepare themaelves for poaslble large d'-mand tomorrow. The loans made on Friday go over until Monday, according to the custom of the street, although the banks have tho right to call money on any day of the week. The bank aa a rule are re serving their surplus funds for the ac commodation of their regular custom ers, who are being supplied at ( per cent In proportion to the buslnesa done by them. Predictions are current In the street of materially high figures In the money market But some leading bankers express the opinion that the worst of the flurry has been seen. Mn ey has not been so high since the Bar ing panic some years ago, when It went skyward In the same way. WHEAT TAKES ANCfTHER JUMP. Coea Up Over Two Cent, but Fall on Account of Money Scare.

Call Loans In New York Go Up to One Hundred Per Cent. New York, October 29. The approach of the election was signalized in finan cial circles here today by a rapid and remarkable advance In the money mar ket. Soon after the opening of the ex change for business today there was a great demand for call money, which opened at 10 per cent, one per cent high er than the average rate yesterday, when lt fluctuated between 7 and 12 per cent. By leaps and bounds the rate advanced until at noon 6 per cent was demanded for cash loans. The demand sent rates up until late In the day. when 100 per cent waa asked and 80 bid. This was the closing Quotation. The jump to 100 per cent began grad ually and proceeded amid much ex citement. The first loan was made at 1Q per cent and the rate then advanced io io, mm nnaiiy, aoout S.iD p. m., a broker who wanted money was compell ed to bid the rate up to 50 per cent be fore he could secure the required ac commodation. The price then fluctu ated between 40 and 60 per cent. Bus iness was only moderate, as the offer ings of funds were extremely light. As the demand for money Increased the price asked Increased by tens from 50 to SO, then to 70, until the maximum W03 reached. The Immediate cause of San Francisco. October 29.
