Portland, Or., S ep t 18 —The little «team propeller hadie B , the first steamer to puss through the Cascade locks from the Middle Colntnbia to tbe lower river, arrived at Pwrtland yester day morning. Her trip tbr cgh the locks wms made several days ago, bat this is ber first trip to Portland. The construction of the mammeth 1 eke has dragged along through so many years, and at times seemed so far from com pletion. that it was difficult toconvmo« many that they ever would be com pleted. The trip of the Sadie B ., though, is sufficient evidence for the must skeptical that we have at last wa ter communication with that vast re gion east of tbe monntaiLS. and, w hile it w ill be quite a w hile before regular steamers can make use of the locks, the trip of this small steamer has demon strated that the open river is no longer a dream of the distant future. The Sadie B. is a propeller, about 85 feet long, 14 feet beam aud 8 feet hold, with doable engines 12x14 inches The hull was built at Portland and towed to the lower cascades, and from there taken overland to the middle riv er. Here it was launched and equipped with engines from tbe burned steamer Cyclone.

Here she remained until the follow ing M nday, wfien ths lower gate was open-d and she passed through and out to the open river at the foot of the rapids. The barge In- teertate, after discharging her wood, was taken back up through the locks to the middle river.

NO A S T O R IA ROAD SOON. N e a r ly A l l t b e W o r k m e n t o K* L a id O ff fu r L n c k u f F u n d * . Portland,Or., Sept 21.— Rumorehave been afloat for the past day or two to the effect that work on the Astoria- Goble railroad was to be stopped for the winter. There have been so many reports in regard to this road that any new one attracts but little attention; but it appears on investigation that thiB latest one, w hile not w holly cor rect. is w ell founded From the beat information attaina ble, it seems quite certain that about three-fourths of the men at work on tbe line are to be laid off vxiay. The three dredges, which have been work ing night and day building the em bankment, or grade, across the tide- lands above Tongue poiut, w ill be kept *t work; but w ill work in the day time only. It was reported yesterday that eighteen cf the camps on the road have been abandoned, and that there are only eleven left. This means the ces»ation of work on the greater part of the line on high ground. The reason given for keeping the dredges at work on the tideland is that it is desirable to get the grade built there before Dext spring, as a high flood m ight interrupt it. The work on the high ground can be doue at any time, and next summer to better advantage than daring the winter, and there need be no trouble abont tbe road being completed by next harvest. It is said that the reason for stopping work is the imp-j«tibility of securing money to carry it on, on ac- oount of the financial situation.

London, Sept. 21.— The Chronicle this morning has an editorial in which it welcome* the suggestion of the Sc. James' Gaxette that a new driebnnd, including Great Britain, the United States and Italy, wonld solve the Armenian problem. The Chronicle looks upon this as a prop-osal having nothing in cvmomn w ith cynical in difference, and greatly hopes that it w ill find an echo in tbe United States. Tbe Chronicle then proceeds to assert that an American admiral was last year ordered to bombard Y ild ii palsoe if there was any farther massacre of A rm enians "These orders," says the Chronicle, "were sub«equently withdrawn when the Venexuela dispute came to a head— a single example of the danger of leav ing such disputes to simmer until they boil over at the most ditastroas mo m en t The sooner Lord Salisbury and Mr. Olney can agree to the arbitration of the question, the better w ill be the chance of union which the S t James' Gazette so w isely commends."
