After a wek of conjecture on the part of AairUtm, It can be positively stated that there will be no oppoii;on to the republican ticket In the con;lng election.

The council, therefore, will stand as now eieven re publicans and two democrats, with a democratic mayor. This gives tbe re publicans absolute control, which they have enjoyed for sumo time past. Captain Randall, of the tug Relief, called at the Astorlan office last night and denied the statements made In Fri day's Astorlan In regard to exorbitant charges and unnecetnary work In pulling tbe Eulomene off the beach at Smith's point a few nights ago. The statement that JT'W was charged for the tug's ser vices Captain Randall admits to be correct, but strenuously denies that It was an unreasonable price. Captain Ellis, of the Eulomene, was also present and explained that the situation of bis ship was perilous and the amount paid the tug was justified by the circumstances of the case. TWINE MANUFACTURERS HAVJJ FORMED A TRUST. All But On Firm Have Gone Into the Combine, and the Price Has Been Forced Up 13 Cents. Thg announcement was made here yes terday that, with the exception, of the manufacturers of the Dunbarton twine, all the houses which manufacture twine used by Columbia river fishermen have formed a trust for the purpose of forcing up the price. The news Is of the utmost importance to fishermen, ss, If Its-operation la successful, there will be a big Increase In the price of twine. By the organization of the trust all local agents of twine manufacturing firms have been dispensed with, and hereafter all the business will be done from tbe headquartera of the combine, which Is not known. Incidentally the pripe ytil go up about lg cents a pound on an aver age, or proportionate to the quality of the twine. The difference will be a ma terial one to fishermen, who were not doing any too well as matters formerly stood. Among tbe leading brands heretofore ued In Astoria werw Rhrt Htewart'a Marahall'a and purhmir'a. A Scotch firm of Stewart alaa sold twine here, All theee f.iur Itrms ar In Ihe trust, leaving out only th manufacturers of Puulur ton's twine. The price formerly ald by Qxhermen for twin has ragged fnm II to M cents. The Increase In the price will make the minimum Itgure tl OS. lteaMee tho Increase of 1st cents, the manufactur ers In th cumhlne will save also the agents' ronimlsHlons which formerly were I l.l. The deal means about a year lo the manufacturers. Fishermen w ill be seriously handicapped by the forming of the I rum. aa th In created prollta of the nwnufaclurtn must coma out of them. Ordinnrly a net U worth about $.W0, but the cost hereafter will be over Hid. When ll Is considered that there are about IUV Rlllncli on the tower Cuiumbla, not to nienllon other gear employed. It will be seen what effect the trust will have, Fishermen will be compelled to pay about trvtuv hor for nets. They bave contended that the price of twine wsa too high in past soaaons, as the price of salmon haa deereaaed. and the result of th formation of the trust will be either to greatly reduce th manu. fai lure of new gear, or to bring about the almoei exclusive use uf ltunbartou's.
