The government has a number of en.ch buoys placed In the waters of Kastern rivers, and tliey have given eminent satisfaction.

In conclusion the- ootnmanoVr seated that In the near future the light now at lVJlm Adams would be discontinued, and removed to a wooden frame tower to be built upon pll'ng foundation on the shal near No, S buoy. Further, that rho prea. ent ivtinge light now shown from the north ern end of the what Is known a. the Sea side cannery,, woukl be removed to' the northern end of the Vnlon Fishermen' Co-operative cannery.

There are six deep-sea sailing ships ly ing outside waiting to eonse Into the bar. bar. The bar la unusually rough and nothing crossed it yesterday except ths Columbia At 4 o'clock the following dis patch was received from the government lookout station at Fort Canby. "The lightship has shifted from her po sition and Is now considerably to the north and nearer to tbe bar. She is about tlhree miles off Mte bar, west, south west from here." At S o'clock the Isenzanlta left down the liver to go to the rtef of the light. ship. At 7.30 she returned and reported that he bar was very rough and when Inside at buoy No. 4 she saw the lightship In what appeared to be her regular sta tion with her big lights burning. It was masoned that had she been off her sta tion or away from her moorings, the lg- nal lights would have b?en extinguished at once and the rogjlar steamer HRtit hoisted. - kt is ss nvioek in., nlrtt the followlns additional message was received from the cape: "The lightship Is about ten milt's north of where ie otistvt f be with all her lights still bumirsr. The tide has turned. She Is commencing to drift toward North Reach. Ooess they will find out and get up steam and keep off the beach. It Is a clear night. Ttockots have been fired to warn ber of bw position." Much anxiety was felt upon the re. celpt of this message, both as to the fate of the lightship herself and tbe six ves sels depending upon her for guidance. At 11 o'clock Captain Gregory again mus. tered his crew and steamed down to the mouth of the river fully determined to cross out over the rough bar to the rescue of tho lightship, whose officers are ap parently unaware of their own danger.

The lightship was then 13 miles north of her proper posit Km and drifting In shore. At 1 o'clock this morning the ship's lights went out. showing that the crew realised their danger and had prob ably got up steam, started their propeller, and are probably safe.

The mala purpose of the meeting was to fix a time for the hoMlna of the Stat convention, and after full discussion, aa address was prepared and furnished for publication. Tte state convention was caned to meet at Portland, March tt IS The apportionment, of delegates to the convention from each county In the state shall be one delegate at large and one delegate for each 400 votes, or the major fraction thereof, dast for Bryan and Wat son at the presidential eSedtlon In 1K The address says: Careful Investiga tion of the alleged union party will reveal the ifaot that tt Is composed largely of self -appointed leaders and is "better cal culate.! to disrupt than to unite the re form forces of the state, and that all who went into It from patriotic motives are being misled. Into one harmonious whole Mayor Pennoyer pretends to unite these elements that sjt the last election sup ported Bryan and array it against all comers under tbe gold standard. But he Insists, ait the instance of Mr. Jones, the national chairman of the dem ocratic party, that this be done In name and under the leadership of the demo cratic party (of which, he assumes to be the bead and front in Oregon.) In support of this position he claims that the democratic party has abandoned Its false gods and therefore there Is no excuse for tho further existence of the people's party, either state or national. There can be no united action with ths people's party under the fcanner of the democratic party, and Its terms of capit ulation, nor under tbe leadership of Mr. Cooper's so-called "union" party. The address recommends that no coun ty nominations be made until after ths state conmitloa. C. P.'S ADDITIONAL PAYMENT. New York, Dec. 11.
