There will only be thirty days consumed In the voyage from r.ngland, France and (ler niuny to the mouth of the Columbia riv er, rendering It easy, quick and cheap for the tide of emigration to reach us by steamer direct. The Nicaragua ca nal will open tills great Northwest em pire to the old world, enablInK those crowded centers to send over their peo ple to the hcalUilcst, richest and best part of this globe. Will they come? Nothing Is wonting but the opportu nity. I say that every American should ! Join at once and give It to them. j "Get your Astoria and Columbia liver railroad finished and off your hands so that you can take up this great canal question. It Is of wore Importance to Astoria even than the railroad tt.elf. Take hold with trs In Portland and those enthusiastic ptopte In California and let us secure some able man to financier the canal. I'urlng the coming winter which will not bust ninny moons, we should take such an interest In-tlie choice of United States senator as will enable Oregon to successful! prosecute Its part of the canal work. We need a live man to represent us, and one who will work for the canal aa well as talk for It "Our government should guarantee per cent Interest on J100.0O8.000 flrst- mortgage 100-year Nicaragua Canal Company bonds, and should allow an American company to do the work un der able management. Under such management the canal will then be built without delay and at an economi cal figure. The building of the Nica ragua canal Is the opportunity of the age and the scheme of the hour. The next six months will see the rullroad nearly, If not quite completed, and Ore gon, Portland and Astoria people par ticularly, should lose no time In taking hand In thla gren.tet of great pro jects. The advantage of the canal to the Interest of the mouth of the Col umbia river are numerous and very great. With your railroad finished and the Nicaragua canal completed, every transcontinental railroad will see the Importance of an outlet to the ocean down the Columbia river route. Aa soon will make the riffle. KANSAS MAY YET SECEDE. Now Figuring on Making Mexican Dol lars Legal Tender. Washington, Nrvembtr 20. Shvuld the Kansas Populists enact laws mak ing Mexican dollars legal tender, a constitutional question of prime import ance will arise for decision by the Unit ed States supremo court, which un questionably would have the case brought before It to test such a law. The constitution declares that no state shall "coin money; emit bills of credit; muke anything but gold and silver coins legal tender In payment of debts." It has been contended that uuder this provision Kunsas could make Mexican silver dollars legal tender within her borders, but generally It has been be lieved that underbills and other con stitutional provisions, Including that forbidding the Impairment of contracts, any such law would be held invalid by the courts. The lighthouse tender Columbine re turned yesterday afternoon from an ex citing and eventful trip to Destruction Island and Shoalwater bay. Heavy easterly gale prevailed during the en tire voyage, but the Columbine not only did her appointed work, but saved one man's life, rescued steamer In distress and attempted to float a steamer' beach ed In Wlllapa Harbor. In speaking of the voyage. Captain Richardson said yesterday afternoon to an Astorlan rep resentative: "Early Thursday morning we sighted the schooner Charles Hansen which had her enelgn at half mast and union down. The schooner had Just come from Gray's Harbor and was proceed ing In the gale to San Francisco. We answered the ilgnal of distress, pulled up under the schooner's stern, and were then told by the captain that be had a man on board with a broken leg. As it waa Impossible for the schooner to make Gray'a Harbor In the face of the heavy east wind, they asked me If we would take the man In that he might be attended by a doctor. This I readily consented to do as It was a case of life or death. It transpired that the unfor tunate man was the mate of the schooner, and that as the vessel waa crossing the bar from Gray'a Harbor, in making sail, bis leg became entan gled In the main sheet, causing a severe fracture of the leg. Upon arriving in Gray's Harbor we turned the unfortu nate man over to the hospital at Ho qulam, and then proceeded to sea again. We had made but a short distance when we sighted another schooner ly ing broadside on the beach, and flying distress signals. She was the San Buena Ventura. We went over to her as near as we dared to approach the shore, and learned that she wanted to be towed off the sands. Although very busy we took a line from him and pull ed on the schooner for a long time, but unfortunately the line broke and as we could not wait to rig up another, we had to give it up. The schooner, how ever, was In no danger, as she was In side the harbor. From Gray's Harbor we proceeded to Destruction Island, arriving; there at 8 o clock Thursday night Here we landed Llghtkeeper Zauner, his wife and child, and two tons of provisions. We sailed south for Astoria at 1 o'clock this morning, and on the way down Bet a whistling buoy off Gray's Harbor. We arrived off the Columbia River at 11:40 this morning, having experienced heavy gales all the way. We sighted the steamer Augusta Just off the mouth of the river, laboring heavily, having in tow five lorge fish boats. I saw that she was not making any headway, and asked the skipper if we could be of any assistance to him. He said he would be glad to have us give him a tow Into the harbor, and threw out a line to us. Wo towed him as far as the bar buoy, when the line broke. We then put out another line and started again. Be tween Duoys No. 2 and No. 4 the Es cort came along and took the Augusta up the harbor, relieving us of our charge. The Augusta lost two of the llsh boats coming Into the month f he river. We arrived at our dock at 2:40 this afternoon." Captain Richardson's experience on this trip was certainly an exciting one and full of Interest. The men and otil- ers were as much interested as their captain in rescuing life and property.

' t,me rival, and three times his antagon ist in the ring for that honor, met to night before St. George's Club in a 10- round bout to forever settle the ques tion of superiority. Again, as in all their previous contests, McAuliffe was victorious. At the end of the 10th round Referee Armstrong gave the de cision to McAullffe The audience was not entirely satisfied with the manner In which the men fought the last round, but the decision appeared to meet the approval of the majority. In the ttb round Carroll was knocked down. Both men were weak at the close. At the beginning of the fight Mc Aullffe adopted rushing tactics, forcing- his opponent to the ropes repeatedly. but the pace was too hot to last and at the end of the third round he had bel lows to mend. From that time on until the last, his blows lacked steam, and It was noticeable that, whenever be get Carroll in a tight place, after one of his rushes, he dropped his bands and retreated to the center of the ring. The men frequently Indulged in con versation during the last Uw rounds. but In such low tones as to be Inaudible to those at the ringside. - In the last round there were evidences of a mutual understanding, which did not escape the crowd, for the men stcod up In the center of the ring and exchanged blows which woulj have .named exhi bition fighters until the gong sounded. The concensus of opinion was fnat both men had outlived thetr reputation as fighters and that they bad agreed to make It appear a genuine fight, but to avoid a knockout McAulirt'e aim aa peared to know that he would get the decision from the outset IMPRISONED FOR FIGHTING.

General Otis calls attention to the increase of desertions in hi department, which he attributes to mine discoveries In the territory un der his command rather than any spirit of demoralization.
