Mr. Fox, the president of the Astoria
Iron Works, said to an Astortun repre
sentative yesterday that he would com
mence tomorrow morning to build the
ways at Smith' Point for receiving
the Manxunlta. Thla part of the work
will occupy about two weeks time, and
the ways will be such as will accom

will be permanent. There 'will also

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
Washington, March 15. The prel-
dent today sent hi message to the
special aesslon of congre, which as
sembled today. He aays:
'Regretting the necessity which has
required me to call you together, I
reel your assembling In extraordinary
session la Indlapenalble because of the
condition In which we find the revenue
of the government. It I conceded that
It current expenditures are greater
than Its receipt, and that such a con
dition haa existed now more than three
year. With unlimited means at your
command we are presenting the re
markable spectacle of increasing our
public debt by borrowing money to
meet the ordinary outlay incident up
on even an economical and prudent
administration of the government. An
vxamlation of the subject discloses this
fact In every detail, and leads inevita
bly to the conclusion that a condition
of the revenue which allow it 1 un
JuitlMable and should be corrected. The
president shows that the total deficit
In the treasury for three year and
eight months. March 1st, is $16,000.000.
Continuing, the prealdent say: "Not
only are we without a aurplu In the
treasury, but with the increase in the
public debt there has been a corre
sponding Increase in the annual Inter
est charge from $22.S5.S-S3 in 1892, the
lowest of any year year since 1S62. tJ
$34,387,297 in ISM. or an increase of $11.
493.414. Congress should promptly cor
rect existing condition. Ample rev
enue must be supplied, not only for
the ordinary expenses of the govern
ment, but for the prompt payment
of liberal pensions and the liquidation
of the principal and Interest of the
public debt. In raising revenues, du
ties should be so levied upon foreign
products as to preserve the home mar
ket a far as possible to our producers:
to revive and Increase manufactures:
to relieve and encourage agriculture;
to aid and develop mining and build
ing, and to render to labor in every
Held of useful occupation liberal wages
and adequate reward, to which skill
and industry are justly entitled. The
necessity of the passage or a tariff
law which will provide ample revenue
need not be urged further. The Im
perative demand of the hour is the
prompt enactment of such a measure
and to this object I earnestly recom
mend congress shall make every en
deavor. Before other business is trans
acted let us first provide sufficient rev
enue to faithfully administer the gov
ernment without contracting further
debt or continued disturbance of our
finance."

Dingley, of the ways and means com
mittee, In response to a request that
he furnish a synopsl of the new tariff
bill presented by him today, made the
following statement: "The bill ha tw"
purposes, namely, to raise additional
revenue and to encourage the Indus
trie of the 1'nlted Ktate. On the bal

and paper. $5.O00. N Sundries, $.200,-
000.
Dlngley said: "The Increaae of rev
enue I ecured by the transferring yf
wool, lumber, crude opium, painting.
statuary, draw ornament, straw moo
ting, burlap and various other article
from the free Hit of the present law
to the dutiable liat; by Inrceaslng the
duty on woolens to compensate the lat
ter for the duty placed on wool; by
raising the duty on sugar about three
fourths of a cent per pound In order
to encourage the production of sugar
in tbl country, which, it Is believed,
can be done, and thus give the rarmers
a new crop, which we now import
mainly from abroad; by increasing the
duty on agricultural products affected
by Canadian competition, and of One
cotton good, some advance tn the
manufacture of Iron and steel. Jute,
flax and bemp. In order to encourage
these and other industries here, and r
peclally by Increasing the duties on
such luxuries as liquors, tobacco, silks.
etc.
'As a cule the rates of duties pro
posed are between the rates or the tar
iff of 1890 and the tariff of ls4.
'The Iron and steel schedule Is
changed very little from the schedule
In the tariff of 18M. the changes being
in the more advanced articles. The
same is true of the cotton schedule.
In the agricultural, wool, glans and
earthenware schedules alone are the
duties or the act or 1S90 fully restored
aa a rule, and in a few cases Increased.
with a view of amply protecting and
encouraging our farming interests by
every possible point.
"White the duty on clothing wool ts
iarger In proportion to the foreign
value than on manufactured articles,
it Is thought desirable for public Inter
est and for agriculture that we should
produce this prime necessity for our
selves. The duty on carpet wools, a
well as upon many other articles, is
imposed mainly for revenue. The Irri
tation caused by a few wools hereto
fore classed as carpet wools being used
for clothing purpose, has been reme
died by transferring such to the cloth
ing wool classes, but the duty on cloth
ing wool has been restored to the rate
of the act of 1S90.
"The reciprocity provisions of the act
of 1S90 have not only been fully re
stored, but the policy has been extend
ed by adding to it sugar, tea. coffee,
hklei and other art'rles.
OCCIDENT A TOTAL IaJKS.
The Little Steamer Smashed to Pieces
Friday on the Nehalem Bar.
The steamer Occident, well known In
this port, was smashed to splinters
on the Nehalem Bar about 6 o'clock
Friday evening.
The Occident left Astoria last Friday
morning with a cargo of general mer
chandise, for Nehalem merchants and
ranchers. She arrived at the mouth
of the Nehalem river about 6 o'clock
the same evening, in attempting to
cross the bar into the harbor she struck
bottom, broke In two, and was thrown
the South Spit. All hands escaped to
shore in a small boat, while the cargo
drifted about in all directions, and now
lies scattered along the beach. She
lies on her side, with the big breakers
crossing over her at every high tide.
The pilot house was torn away and
lies a quarter of a mile below on the
beach. The steamer will be a total
loss. She cost, when new, about $12,000.
Last December the Occident was
chartered by Hempel & Wheeler, the
Nehalem lumber mill men, from her
owners on the Sound, and was used
for towing schooners In and out of the
harbor; but so far she has only han
dled four or five vessels. It la not
known whether she was covered by
Insurance or not.' She was manned by
Captain Webber, Mate Wlckstrom, En
gineer Schneider, and Deck Hand Loud.
The captain attributes the disaster to
the changing of the channel, which Is
a very uncertain one. The news was
brought to the city last night by Cap
tain Schrader, of the Elmore.

THE CAMERA TO PLAY A PART

ment Between Stuart and Julian
About the Pictures.'
Caraon. Ner., March 15. Dan Stuart
I up against a snag and It Is one that
is causing him much worry. He has
not yet reached a decision on the mat
ter, and he may not make up hi mind
until tomorrow. The snag ts in the
shape of Julian, who has demanded
one-hird of the receipts that maJ come
to Stuart from exhibiting photographs
of the light At the time of signing
the articles of agreement Julian asked
for a share of the money that would
accrue from this source, and be was
told by Stuart that if any bids were
made for the right to take pictures of.
the fight, Julian would be given a
chance to be In on the returns. Ns
bids have been made, however, as Stu
art had Intended to take the photo
graphs with a machine which belongs
to him. Today Julian drove fn to Stu
art's headquarters and aald that he
wanted the receipt) from tne exhibi
tion of pictures to be divided in three
parts, one of which is to go to Stuart.
one to Fttslmmona, and the remaining
third to Corbett. Julian said If his
demand was not granted be would
refuse to fight before the camera, al
though he was willing to allow Flta
slmmon to flght for the purse If the
camera Is taken from the arena. The
pictures are considered by Stuart his
one chance of getting back some of
the money he has advanced' for the
fighters In the laat three years. Dan
Stuart, when asked concerning the da
demand made by Julian, said:
."There Is one thing certain, and that
Is there will be a fight between Flta
slmmons and Corbett. I hav? &ot bad
any trouble with Julian and do nut
expect any. There are certain eoadl- .
tlons governing this thing, and If Ju
lian is not willing to abide by them
he can pack his trunk and go home.
That contingency will not arise, how
ever, and I am safe In saying that
any trouble I may- have with anybody
will not prevent the fight from coming
off."
The present program Is to have the
great flght at as close to 11 a. m. as
possible, and the men hare been
ordered to be In their dressing rooms
by 10. If the sun is not ravorable to
taking pictures, the Smith-Green fight
will be put on until the sunlight la
favorable. If conditions suiting the
photographer exist at the end of the
first, the big fight will be called, though
the sun may be given a second chance
by putting Flaherty and Hawkins be
fore Fitxsimmons and . Corbett have
been called Into the arena.
If the big fight should be first, the
others will follow, and Ils the inten
tion of Stuart, weather permitting, to
have the three rights in one day.
