Aetorla jubilated. The whle town turned out laat night to ratify the election f McKlnley and Hiibart. The entire city wh alilaxe with light, Thuueand phouted thrmeelvea huaree In the exceea of their fwllnga ovrr election. Ib-publlcana, lnucrati and ropull.l. joined In the great hur rah. McKlnley, gwid government, and eound money waa the war cry heard on all aides. The demonstration from ev ery point of View was on of the most brilliant ever witnessed In Clatsop county. The scene as viewed from one of the buildings on the water front, was In deed a beautirul one. Hesldencvs along the tine of march and away up on all of the hills, were bright with electric lights and Chines lanterns. At Inter val, hug bonfires sent red flames sky ward, while In the business portion of the c"y every store, bank, hotel, office, was brilliant with unique dastgna In electric effects. Chinese lanterns, can dles and gas Jets. The county court house was exceptionally well decorated and lighted, and the large picture of McKlnlry In front of the Astorlan office Illuminated with colored Uichta was an other feature of the evening. The large torchlight procvselon form ed on time and was on of the best and brlghleei night parades ever s-en In the city. About a thousand torches wer In line and hundreds of people marched at the side of the procession or rode In carriages and wagons. The grand marshal aud hi aides most cred Itably handled the long line of marchers snd the vsrlous band rendered Ineplr Ing mu.lc. Among the mors notable features of the vfcilnn were the county central Hepubllcan committee. In carriages, .peakers or the evening In carrlngcs, aound money temocrats, the veterans, the dlnplnys or the Colum bia Iron work. I'aclilc Can Company, Foard ft Slok.n' (! O. I. elephant and featlve riding horses, Haylea & I'alm- berg's flout; Astoria llox Company, llremner & Holmes, delivery wagons and trucks currying red fire and tire works, and muny other dlsptnys too numerous to mention. The procession first marched down to I'nlontown, and reluming, went up Commercial street to Alderbrook. From there the line of march waa back on Franklin avenue to 11th street, and thence to the Republican headquarters. Nearly a thousand people were In the hall when C. H. Stockton mounted the platform and said: "Ladles and gentle men: In the aliM'iue of any other per son I will assume the responsibility of presiding over this meeting. I know you will be glad to have me." A roar of laughter followed Mr. Stockton's remarks. The Glee Club ren dered a long and responded to a hearty encore. Then Chairman Stockton In troduced Hon. C. W. Fulton.' Mr. Ful ton made a stirring address. He said the people were never more Justified In ratifying the election of a president, because of the great dancer which threatened the nation. II. paid a high tribute to the sound money Democrats, whom, he said, were the factor which elected Major McKlnley. If Mr. Mc Klnley saw fit to rcconnlse either Mr. Carlisle or Mr. Olney by a place In his cabinet, Mr. Fulton was positive the great body of the Republican parfy would applaud his action. The Dem ocrats, he continued, saved the nation and all honor to them for It. He prais ed the Olee Club for the excellent work It had done In the campalKn and pro posed that three cheers be given for Messrs. Helcher, Garner, Smith aiuJ Hurnett, and the audience responded with a will. Mr. Fulton regretted that no other speaker was present. Several had promised to show up, but did not It did not become the speaker, he sold, to say what had become of them, but he ventured the assertion that they had fallen by the wayside. Where was Judge BowlbyT and Judge Taylor? He didn't know those gentlemen ever did anything like that and even then he was loth to believe that Frank Taylor was loaded. Mr. Fulton sold he was sorry the hour was so late, as he would like to hear himself talk all night; but, now that McKlnloy Is elected, he was willing to quit. The Ole Club rendered several selec tions and, after three cheers for "Char ley" Fulton and throe more for McKln ley and Hobart, the meeting came to an end. And thus passed off tho last glad rites.

Her resources and wonderful natural ad vantagns have been Investigated by an Km tern capitalist and he Is pleased to praise unatlntlngly the City by the Mea and Its future prospects. Mr. Marshal N. ttlce, general man ager of the Gloucester Net and Twine Co., with headquarters at Huston, has been spending several days In the city and left last evening for the East by way of Portland and the Sound. Be fore taking the boat Mr. file aald to an Astorlan representative: "I am more than pleased with this, my fl trait visit to the Pacific coast and Atsorla. W ha v. had large Interests her but none of us have been able to com and see you before this I have been royally entertained by your peo ple, whom I find to be young, shrewd, and successful business men. After looking over the situation here I can only predict a great future for your city. Tour natural resources are won derful and the commercial advantages of the Columbia, river I do not believe even you yourselves yet realise. Th United Ktates fish commissioners have don wonderful, work for the salmon of the Columbia,' and have assured a steady supply of this king fish. I am told that since the establishment of the hatcheries the fish are running more regularly and of a more even slie. This Is certainly a great advantage. - Tour harbor will a "commodate the fleets of the world, and your new railroad will bralng the fanners' wheat to tide water for shipment. "The recent great political battle won In Clatsop county 4ias done you more good than any of you know, and Ore gon's great victory has made her solid with Eastern Investors. The cities and states of the East with large business Interests came to the front for right, sound money and good government. and Astoria, Clatsop county, Oregon and California Joined the procession. So far as I have been able to learn since my stay in Oregon, the Oregonlan and Astorlan are largely responsible for the decisive victory in Oils state. "I shall leave tonight with the most pleaaant recollections of Astoria and her people. It has given roe much pleasure to make thla Journey of some 10,000 miles, and I hope to come again." SELF DENIAL. The Ralvatlcn Army la all alive and actively engoared In preparing for its annual Self Denial week which takes place throughout the United States from November ISth to the 22d Inclu sive. Large sums of money have been raised In post years and it Is a won derful testimony to the army's devel opment and activity. Each member of the army, as well as the friends of Its many social Institutions, are asked to abstain from all luxuries, and In many cases olDccrs and soldiers have actually determined to do without certain ar ticles of food which are ordinarily con sidered necessary, In order that by their acts of self-denlul they may add finan cial support to the army and Its many different branches of work. The social operations throughout America have been greatly developed during the past twelve months; new food and shelters have been opened In New York, San Francisco and Kansas City respective ly. As a natural consequence, there fore, the demands upon the army's funds have Increased and this will re quire still greater effort to raise a cor respondingly Increased amount during this special Self Denial week. The to tal alined at Is 40,000. POOR W INKLE. From the New York Weekly. First Philadelphlnn "So Winkle died of blood poisoning? How did It hap pen?"

KING OSCAR OF THE SWEDES In this Ruler's Hands Rests the Bal ance of Power In the Arbitra tion Commission. Washington, November 10. The king of Sweden and Norway, Oscar II, has been chosen, by treaty between the United States and Great Britain, as th fifth official arbitrator of th Ven- esuelan boundary question. The other arbitrators, four in number, ar to be designated, two by th lord chief Jus- tic of England, and two by th chief Justk of the United States. This Is final and the moat important feature of the treaty for the complete adjust ment of the long-pending Venezuelan controversy. The treaty was conclud ed In Washington laat night at th British embassy. Sir Julian Paunoefote representing her Britannic majesty, and Secretary Olney th United States. Since th return of 8lr Julian Psune fote from London three weeks ago, ne gotiations toward th final settlement have been proceeding. Most of the meetings wore of such an Important character that they wer held either at Mr. Olney residence or at the British embassy, the two houses being but two blocks separated. It happened the concluding meeting waa at the embassy yesterday and spe cial Interest was given to It from the fact that Lord Salisbury, the British premier, was to make a speech at Guild hall, London, In the evening.' It Is the annual event at which the premier usu ally takes occasion to review the status of the most Important Internationa questions. For this reason It was de sired, if possible, to acquaint Lord Salis bury of the final and satisfactory ad justment of the Venezuelan question In order that he might make such art nouncement as he thought fit concern Insj It. When Secretary Olney and Sir Julian reached their final conclusions, a cablegram was at once dispatched to Lord Salisbury, notifying him of the result. It reached him within one hour if the time when he went on the plat form at Guildhall and It was the basis of his announcement to England and the entire world that the Venezuelan controversy was settled. The treaty, the final terms of which have been cabled to London and ac cepted. coven Venezuela only and does not include the general treaty of arbl tratlon of all future disputes between the two great English-speaking na tlons. This treaty la to b arranged later by future negotiations. Venezue la will not be directly represented In the commission. The term of occupancy to exempt British settlements In the dtsp'uted ter ritory from arbitration Is fixed at 60 years, according to additional corre spondence on the subject, which has Just been discovered. In other vords, the British government has agreed to unrestricted arbitration of all the terri tory In dispute with the period for ac quisition of title by prescription fixed by an agreement of the parties fh ad vance of 60 years. It doee not follow that all the work accomplished by the United States com mission In the collection of evidence touching the boundary will go for noth ing, but on the contrary this matter may be used to great advantage by the agent or agents selected to represent the claims of the governments of Great Britain and Venezuela by the arbitra tion commission. Introduced In this manner the evi dence the United States has collected will be of great value, coming as It does from ex parte presentation, and as an evidence collected by the commis sion and Its special experts under rig orous Instructions to obtain all perti nent evidence without regard to which side It affected. The commission met this morning at Its rooms in the Sun building. There was a general discussion of the boun dary dispute In the light of Lord Salis bury's announcement and it was de cided that the commission should sus pend its labors. IN HONOR OF MARK HANNA. Prominent New Yorker Gives a Ban quet to the Kepubliscan Chairman. New York, November 10. A luncheon In honor of Mark A. Hanna was given In the banquet hall of the Equitable building today. The host was Isaac Seltgman, of the house of J. W. Selig- man, and the guests Included a number of the most prominent businessmen and financiers In the city. More than thirty guests sat at the tables. Mr. Sellgman, after a brief address, called upon Mr. Hanna, who spoke at unusual length for him. He said the new administra tion would begin Its work without any pledges and wholly untrammeled in the selection of a cabinet, a statement which was heartily applauded. Mr. Hanna said he hoped they would be able to enlist good citizens in the cauBe represented by the national banner. Abram S. Hewitt paid a high compll- ment to Major McKlnley and concluded by asking that he be permitted to en roll himself under the banner of the national party and by proposing as a toast the success of the Incoming ad ministration, to which he pledged the support' of himself and all patriotic Democrats.

The official announcement of the terms on which the parochial schools question has been settled Is still delayed, owing to Pre mier Greenway'a absence. It is learn ed that concessions have been made to the Catholics which will likely pacify them for the loss of their parochial schools. The chief concession is that half an hour each day in national or public schools will be set apart for re ligious Instruction. The plan is that in one of the rooms of each school the priests for half an hour have the right of instructing the children of the Cath olic faith. If the other denominations desire the some privilege It will be granted. Another concession is that In districts where there is a consider - able percentage of French Catholic chil dren the French language shall be taught as well as English. , NO PROSPECT OF LEGISLATION. Senator Carter Thinks the Coming Ses sion Will Be Very Tame. Washington, November 10. Senator Carter, of Montana, said today he saw no prospect of any Important legisla tion at this session of congress. He did not believe the Dlngley bill could pass and thought the session would be de voted to appropriation bills and sparr ing among- political parties for position. As to tariff legislation In the next con gress, Senator Carter said he believed the Democrats would not obstruct, no matter what the silver Republicans might do. In his opinion those who were claiming and believed hard times could be cured by silver must allow Re publican tariff legislation to be enacted or they would meet a tariff fight In the next campaign.

COMMENT OF LAHOCCHEkE Does Not Believe In Kleptomania, Scathingly Roast What He Call - American Dollarocracy., , . , , London, November 10. Mrs. .Walter . it. Caatle, of San Francisco, sentenced Friday last to three months' Imprison ment without bard labor, after having pleaded guilty to a charge of shop lifting, was released from Wormwood Scrubbs prison today ' on , medical grounds, by order of the horn secreta ry. Sir Matthew Whit Kldley.- ' Henry Labouchere, la Truth, today devotes a pace and a half to the Caa tle case, during which, be say: The sentence seems to me light con sidering the circumstances. I do not believe in kleptomania; for It only, seem to attack the rich, and, if It really ralsta, I am sur the punishment of every person stealing, while suf fering therefrom, would hav a. very deterrent effect upon It spreading." Labouchere. after sarcastic reference to the defense and acquittal of another wealthy woman for stealing hotel can dlesticks, observes: "On the morning of Mrs. Castle's sen tence a seamstress and a governess were sentenced at th same sessions to nine and six months' hard labor for stealing fur necklets and neither had ever been previously convicted- Ths governess fainted at the sentence. N medical experts testified that they were kleptomaniacs; no eminent coun sel suggested that they would suffer In health by confinement; no one pitied them, and no one signed a petition to th home secretary to shorten their sentences." M . ROASTED TO A TURN. London. November' 10. Commentins; on the recent election in th United (states. Henry. Labouchere, In Truth, 1 says: ' .. . i "If Mr. Bryan had been wise be would have gone In for bimetallism if it pleased him, but he could have left the ratio indefinite. His ratio meant the light of all to repudiate half his obligations without this bettering any one In the future; but the victors wUt do well to realize that, apart from bi metallism, there is . strong growing feeling In America against the huge accumulations of capital in the hands of individuals, obtained by means of trusts, which are really monopolies, and gambling with cogged dice in railroads. The greedy plutocracy, unsupported by armed force, cannot long- hold its own against the rights and well being of all. I am In nowise certain that, had I been an American, I should not have voted the Democratic ticket had it not been that I regard all tampering- with the coinage of a country, as Injurious to all, and it does not strike me that Mr. Bryan is up to the presidential mark. America's worst product Is Its dol- larocracy, whose members have liter ally nothing to recommend thenu The odds are that either they or their pa rents acquired huge fortunes by moat j questionable means. As a rule they are ignorant and vulgar, building houses in order to dazzle by ostentatious enter tainments and buying pictures for which they only care because they have acquired them at hign prices; selling their souls to anyone who win enable them to hobnob with royalties and .their daughters to anyone who will confer a title upon them; despising their own country and institutions and regarding themselves as in. every re spect superior to others on account of thtir dollars. If the United States Is not to become a mere plutocracy and oligarchic power these worthies, who have Increased and are increasing; must greatly diminish." GREAT STREET CAR COMBINE, Cleveland, November 10. It is an nounced that the Immense Internation al street railway syndicate recently formed will operate In New York as well as In London, Paris and other European cities.
