There are Indications of Ill-feeling
developing on Asutr street It Is as
erted that the new and handsome
concert hall, recently opened by
Charlie Wise, has operated to take
from the Grlbbler place known as the
"Richmond." all of Its handsome ladles
and the larger portion of Its patronage.
Charley Wise's resort Is located at No.
339 Astor street. It Is spacious and
attractive and waa established at a
very renerous expense on the part of
Its on ner and manager. The one-sided
rivalry is a theme of comment in the
locality In question.
Harry Hamblet of the regatta com
mittee stated last night that the First
Regiment O. X. G., and the Astoria
Military bands had been engaged to
provide the music for the carnival next
week. The selection of these two most
excellent organisations, redounds to
the good judgment of the committee
on music. Messrs Fisher Brothers
have agreed to offer a priie of JltfO as
an Inducement to the sloops of Shoal
water Ray to attend the regatta and
take an active part In the program of
events. The subscription will be
known as the "Fisher Brothers' Prise."
and is a handsome and substantial ad
dition to the amount already contrib
uted by this liberal and enterprising
Ann.
The British ship Garnet Hilt arrived
in yesterday from Shanghai, In ballast.
The Garnet Hill Is no stranger tn the
river and has been here on two occa
sions within the past eighteen months.
On her last voyage from here she was
laden with railroad ties tor Taku, and
experienced a very rough trip on the
passage. She arrived there safely but
was several days overdue. Before
leaving the Columbia he was for two
weeks grounded on the sand bars at
the mouth of the Willamette. The
Garnet Hill is chartered to load wheat
at Portland and her captain hopes to
be more lucky In getting clear of the
sand bars on her departure from Port
land than she waa on her last trip. A
towboot Is expected from Portland to
day to tow her up.
An order was received yesterday
from Adjutant General Tuttle by the
Second division. Ore. naval batalllon,
directing that the election of a lieuten
ant be held at the next meeting of
the division to fill the vacancy caused
by the promotion of Lieutenant Sher
man. The election will take place at
1:30 p. m. this evening. There are
many aspirants for the honor of com- i
mandlng the Second division, but It is '
probable that either Lieutenant Wilson j
or Ensign Zlegler. who are most prom- !
Inently mentioned for promotion, will
be the choice of the members of the '
division. The Second division Is fortn- j
nate in having efficient and capable
Officers, both commissioned and non
commissioned, and the selection of
either of the above mentioned candi-
dates Is an assurance that the present
eflclent discipline of the division will
be maintained. -

Nelson had the usual number of cases I
to dispose of. Drunkenness and light-
ing are the most serious crimes that I
come before the court and all are
fishermen who have lust been Daid for j
their season's work. S. E. Bell, charg- !
td with fighting, was the first case j
called yesterday. It seems that Bell I
was arrested tn one of the saloons in
the lower end of town, and nad Inno
cently got Into a fight with two half,
breed fishermen. Bell told a straight
story of the occurence and his state
ment was corroborated by Policeman
Phillips, the arresting officer. Judge
Nelson dismissed the case and re
turned the ball of $10 which Bell had
deposited. A. Mitchell and Frank
Johnson, were fined to and $10, respect
ively, the latter being charged with
being drunk and disorderly and the
former with simple drunkenness.
The "Jolly Friends." a social club
organized by Mrs. M. A. Mcintosh and
the Misses Bessie Reed, Posy Heilborn,
Anna Westdhal and Anita Trenchard,
gave a dance at Fisher's hall last night
which attracted a large and fashion
able attendance. The function was an
innovation, In that the young ladles
assumed its exclusive management, Ig
noring all proffers of assistance by the
young gentlempn other than such as
would naturally oe offered In the
dreamy mases of the waltz. The room
was tastefully draped with American
flags and embellished with a profuse
variety of flowering plants. The music
was of an excellent character. Re
freshments were served during the
evening, consltlng of cake, lemonade
and temperance punch. The invita
tions announced that Mesdames Tren
chard, Van Duaen, Heilborn, Thing,
Upshur and ShlelJs were the patro
nesses of the affair.
Messrs. Forman and Howlett made
their Initial appearance at the Louvre
Monday night, and were greeted with
a crowded house. These gentlemen
have Just completed a tour of both
the Hopkins and Orpheum circuits,
where they played to large audiences,
and were made the flattering recipients
of many kindly notices by the metro
politan press. It is a well-known fact
that the Orpheum circuit pays very
large salaries, and are thereby enabled
to obtain the highest class of talent
obtainable In the world. Mnna'gr
Kratz of the Louvre, who Is endeavor
ing to present to his patrons a superior
entertainment during regatta week, Is
to be complimented on engaging the
services of Messrs. Forman and How
lett, who well deserve the title accord
ed them of "America's Greatest Ban
Joists." These celebrated musicians
display excellent Judgment In playing
the popular music of the day, although
their rendition of the overture tg
William Tell discloses the fact that
the Instrument tn their hands is capa
ble of producing the moat difficult of
classics. Messrs, Forman and Howlett
are undoubtedly kings of the banjo.
The Robertson raft Is yet tied at

Relief which proceeded to the Sound

says the raft lies easily at Its moor

as the ebb tide holds it against the side
of the dock. Mr. Robertson Is In no
hurry to send the raft to sea and Is
content that It shall remain where It
is until the weather settles. The
Spreckels Comna.ty has the contract
of towing It to the Golden Gate and
has guaranteed to take It to Its desti
nation safely. The raft Is the small
est that has yet left the Columbia. It
contains nearly 100,000 feet, board
measurement, made up principally of
piling. Outside of this, about 100 ship
spr complete the raft Mr. Robert
son says that since leaving the Oolum
bia river About a year ago, he haa
built on the Sound a One logging road
for several miles Into the woods. Al
though the shipment of log rafts haa
never met with favor by the general
sea-faring public, Mr. Robertson con
templates locating here permanently,
although he will continue to do a large
business from the Sound. He has
purchased his own steamer and does
his own towing. He says the Colum
bia river affords better facilities for
the building of log rafts than any
other port on the coast and he has
completed plans for building a larfe
wrecking boat to tow the rafts from
Stella to uff the heads, where they
will be taken tn charge by ocean tugs.
Mr. Robertson recently purchased the
steam tug Miami In Portland and will
use her on the Sound In towing piling.
He say he has come here to stay, and.
although the business In which he Is
engaged has been repeatedly fought
both In the state legislature and pub
lic iiress, he does not feel discouraged.
The fight has been going on for IS
years the year In which the first raft
was shipped from the Columbia river
to San Francisco. There are many lin-
rrovements, Mr. Robertson says. In
connection with his business which he
intends making around Stella and on
the Columbia, and the construction
; of raft piling will henceforth go on
without Interruption.

Colonel Arthur Lee, the English
army officer wlu incurred the Ire of
the Oregon! in by his harmless Inspec
tlon of the fortifications at the mouth
of the Columbia the other day, is a
noted character in American military
affairs. He la the same Lee who, aa

Colonel Lee Is of the same fighting

E. Lee. and Flt.hugh Lee being of M'
American cousins, and they were en-
dowed with no more of the "scraping"
spirit that Colonel Arthur has. If our
strongholds and military secrets are
to be revealed to any foreigner, none
better fitted for the trust could be
found the world over than this manly
English sol ller. He Is almost an
American anyway. He went through
the baptism of fire with Shatter's men
before El Canry, and his daring brav
ery there won him the undying re
spect and honor of every true Ameri
can soldier and made him a place In
American history for all time to come.
About the best account of that battle
ever published was his contribution to
Svrlbner's Magaxine, under the title
"The Regular at SI Caney." In that
Recount It will be remembered he In
variably referred to the United 8tatrt
soldiers aa "our boys" and "our men."
with a nalvlte that thoroughly told
how string were his feelings In tha
American cause. He also spoke Inci
dentally of "assisting" the wounded
when they were brought to the rear
where he was stationed, but every '
American officer knows he too modestly ,
refrained from telling the whole truth.
Eye witnesses say that Colonel Lea
not only worked ' busily with the
wounded men when brought Into the
partial shelter of the famous "sunken
road." where the danger was still so '
great that numbers of them were mer-'
clfuily put out of their misery by stray
bullets during the whole time, but he
Jld mire he went out openly on the ,
mst exposed 'slopes and carried on '
his own slender shoulders many of the
severely wounded to the rear. Some of '
this was told at the time by newspaper
correspondenta. but there Is one thrll- j
ling Incident In his conduct that day ;
which has never before been told in
print. j
Just before the last final charge was
made up the hill to the "old stone J
church," a company commander In the
Twelfth Infantry was shot down. As
the stricken officer was making In
effectual efforts to rise and lead the
charge, then in full sway, young Cap
tain L?e (he was only a captain then,)
sprang from his shelter and ran to
the plaoe of th wounded American
and went up the hill ahead of his men,
Just aa though he had taken the oath
to defend the stars and stripes. That
he momentarily forgot the neutrality
of his position and the seriousness of
his offense is evident, but that should
make every American think the more
of him. But It Is doubtful, even If he
had realized the propritetles of his po
sition, that he would have acted any
differently In the emergency. He is
too m'tch of a Lee.
After the battle, he got to thinking
of his act It Is said, and went around
among the newspaper correspondents
who had witnessed his charge, begging
them to say nothing about It In their
accounts, for fear it would get him Into
trouble with his government. But It
Is evident his government heard of
the affair even If It was not brought
to Its official attention, for Immedi
ately after the war waa over Captain
Lee was promoted to a colonelcy and
made a permanent fixture In British
American diplomatic circles. This
shows what his government thought
of his valor, and as he couldn't receive
any recognition from his American al
lies, why there was nothing left to do
but to promote him In the British
army. It Is no wonder American
army officers think a good deal of
Colonel Lee, nor that the war depart
ment feels called upon to show him
special distinction when he sees fit
to visit American army posts and
forts.
