SHELDON, G.A., Foitland.Or. CANNERY I Supposed to Have Been Set On Fire by Strikers. MILITIA IS ORDERED OUT The Salem Companies Are Held in Readiness, Astoria, Or., June 9. The cannery and other buildings of the North Shore Fucking Company, belonging to George & barker, of this city, nnd situated across from Astoria, on the Washington side or the river, burned last night. There was no means of communication across the river. It fs Impossible to learn the cause of the Are or any other particulars, but It Is generally supposed, the buildings were set on lire by strikers out of revenge for the operation of Gcorgo& Barker's cannery up tho river at Eureka. Thnro has been no chango in the strike situation, although It Is ru mored that one of tho canneries, not a member of thcCnnncrymen's Associa tion, will commence receiving tomor row, under some arrangement with the fishermen to take llsh i(t & cents per pound aud pay for the same in the canned product. Tho truth of tho re port, as far as the fishermen aro con cerned, cannot be learned, as the ofli ccrsor tho union will give no dcilnlto Information concerning the majter. It Is also understood that Samuel Elmore .will undcrtako to commence operations at his cannery hero with fish brought from tho fishing grounds ln Baker's bay." Thcro is much complaint among tho people on account of what they deem to bo the Indifference of tho authori ties, but Judgo Gray, of tho county court, says that such complaints are not well founded nnd are unjust, as ho Is certain SherllT Haro would take prompt steps to suppress any over act of violence, and that until it has been shown that tho sheriff is powerless to deal' with tho situation, thcro Is no occasion for uneasiness or ground for a cull upon tho governor for tho aid of tho nilllta. In tho meantime, business of all kinds remains absolutely prostrated, and there Is a growing feeling of ap prehension that serious troublo is Im minent, and lives might be sacrificed and great damage dono 10 property before It will be demonstrated, under Judge Gray's construction, that tho sheriff was powerless to afford proper protection for thocummunlty. It Is reported that Gus Norburg, foreman of tho 'Fishermen's Tacking company, was seen to leavo tho can nery in n small boat this afternoon on some errand, up the river, has met with some accident, as tho oars which ho is known to, have had with him were found floating down tho river Just before dark, and up to' a late hour tonight ho had not returned. AT PORTLAND. Portland, Juno 0. The First regi ment O. N. U. Is making prepcratlons to go down tho Columbia river and preserve the public peace in the fish erman's troubles. No orders havo been issued, but they aro expected at any moment. Tho members of tho rcglment'to a man are anxious to go, and the excite ment among tlipm Is worked to ns high a pitch as at the time of the Coxey army disturbances. At tho Armory last night prepara tions were being made In all tho com pany rooms, but wliother these prepa rations were in pursuance of nn order from headquarters, or simply from the deslro of the men to be Jn readi ness when wanted, could not bo learned, as there 6eems to bo a gen- Children Cry or Pitohcr's Castorfa, crul order forbidding any miMiibcr of the regiment to give nnyihlng'to tho newspapers. In the companysrooms blaukels and overcoats were folucd In to compact rolls and made ready for strapping. J There Is a strong feeling manifest among the soldiers that tholr jippor tutilty to prove their worth tjo the slate Is now at hand, aud that, ir this opportunity goes by, and nothing Is doiKytho next legislature will (think them of no use and refuse to make an appropriation for their maintenance's On tho other hand, the more conserv ative people kmfw that until every thing has been dono by tho county authorities where the troublo Is. the governor Is not empowered to girder them to the scene. w The situation down the river Isstlll serious, and has lost nothing of Its gravity' In the last few day. 'it Is currently reported and very generally believed that a local gun aud aifj mu nition dcalcr Is making dally shlp ments of guns down the river,? and everyone familiar with tho facts knows that the fishermen are already armed to tho teeth. 7 There were 300 armed men sent up to Cook's cannory to prevent Hablng last week, a number equal Ur tho available forces of the First rcglniont, and In Astoria there nro perhaps 1,000 strikers, aud twlco as many sympath izers, who would take the part off the strikers in case of an outbreak. Tho question of calling on tho National Guard Is a complex nnd dlfllcult one to solve, but enough iius been dono by tho authorities so far to glvo tho assuracco that as soonas abosultely necessary tho regiment will bo ordered to go. ' at balem. . The Salem companies at Salem have orders to hold themselves ln readiness, f with one dav's rations, which aro to be provided nt hpmc, nnd to bjuproj pared to move on short notice. It was Impossible to get any Information nt the governor's olllcc. Governor Lord had not been communicated with up to this forenoon on tliostibjcctof send ing troops to Astorln. Major Willis at Salem today re ceived orders to Instruct tho non commissioned otllccrs to notify their squads to bo In readiness In caso it call was Issued and to Instruct their moil what to tako along. Tho order Is to tako a chango of underwear, an oxtra pair of socks,nnd u day's rations, In enso a call Is mado so they could take tho train with tho least possible delay. "B" company has CO men, "I" company 45 to 60. "B" company Is under command or Lieutenant It. W. Holmati. "I" company Is under com mand of Lieut. J. A. Evans. Both companies havo elected now captains, but both captains-elect, Lcabo and Evans, aro not yet commissioned, not having been examined. Non-commlsslonal ofllccrs and pri vates would recclvo 81.50 a day trans portation and board If thoy go on duty. There was a great sound of revelry at tho armory all this fore noon. Tho mllltla boys were rushing around snylng farewell to their sweet hearts, laying In a stock of socks, and preparing for tho actual vicissitudes or stern warfare. Major Willis was besieged by some of tho men for ex cuses. Anxious fathers and mothers, and sickness In tho (amlly was al leged, but as tho colonel or tho regi ment alono has power to excuse In such an emergency, Major Willis told all they would havo to go If ho got tho order to march Tho major of the battalion was In receipt of telegrams all tho forenoon, but they conld not be divulged. The Woodburn and Hubbard companies received (hosamo Instructions. If any of tho compan ies go forward, It will not bo before tomorrow morning. Major Willis says he would not be surprised If the command were re ceived to go to Astoria Wednesday morning, and will huvo tho Salem companies in perfect rcadlnew. The Salem companies will bo formed, to stand well in comparison with any. ITKST FKOM A8TOWA. Astoria, Juno 0. No new develop ments In the fishing trouble. The. body of Gus Norburg, foreman o. a flshermons cannery was reported mlsv lng last night, and also that of a Russian Finn, named Ovlck were found this rndrnlni?. It Is believed Children Cry for Pitcher' Castorliir they were accidentally drowned. Tho Columbia ltlvor Packers Association has been ln session since 10 o'clock this morning, but tho nature of their deliberations Is unknown. ir they decide to force tho llshlng, mllltla will have to tw called In. It transpires that tho large llro across tho river last night- was not the North Shore cannery as reported but the buildings belonging to Cooks fish ing station. M'KINLEY'S MANAGER Speaks Plain On the Money Ques tionNo Sliver Concession, The Vote of the Western States Are Not Needed. St. Louis, .Tunc . Ex-Congressman Thompson, nmtiuger pro tern or the McKlnley forces was asked teday: "What, wilt lw Molvlnley's platform on tho llnanclal question?" "It will be for single gold standard, pure and simple," ho promptly answered, "and to be explicit," ho continued, "I will add tho financial platrorm or McKlnley, always has been antithesis or what is known as 10 to 1 sllvcrlsninnd It will bo through this campaign." tiiukston oiiaiuman.

No solution or tho puzzling question or what Is to bo dono with tho negro delegates to tho National convention has been reached. Tho proprietors or tho leading hotels deny that they refused to entertain colored men. but say the roomo aru all , engaged" and thoy cannot ac commodate negroes. AN OPINION KItOM UTAH. P. II.

Nelthor do I think tho platrorm will dcclnro ror rreo silver." Tho list or vlce-prcsldontlal candidates has been largely specu lative.

Reply From State Treasurer Motschan. CLAIM CREDIT NOT GIVEN Because Chocks Are Received Alter Banking Hours. Tin: Journal of Saturday printed the charge that the stato treasury was not ' crediting remittances on county tuxes for from one to thrto days after their receipt. Mil. MCTSUUAN'B BTATEMF.NT. In tho "otrtcliil organ" Mr. Metschan makes this statement in reply: "Tho facts briefly stated are: In payment of tho state taxes of 180.", Mr. Jap Mtnto 1ms mado five remit tances by mall, transmitting checks on local banks. Ills remittance of Saturday, March 28, was -received after banking hours on tho samo day; tho collection could not bo mado until tho following Monday, March 30, and Immediately, upon collection or tho amount, my olllclnl receipt wns issued ror tho samo. Tho samo condition exists In regard to the remittance of April 4, for which my otllcial receipt was Issued April 0. Tho rcmlttnnco of April 27, being received within banking hours, was credited on tho sumo day, and not on thq 20th us erroneously stated. Tho rcmlttnnco of April 30, was credited on tho day of Its receipt In this ofllco,to-wlt,May 1. Tho remittance of May 20, was rccolvcd at tho treasury department on Saturday, tho 30th Inst., tho samo being Decoration day a legal holiday. Sunday Intervened; followed by elec tion day, another legal holiday, and tho rccolpt could could not bo Issued until Tuesday, Juno 2. Other than by publication of tho article roforrcd to I am not aware or any squabble existing between tho stato and tho treasurer or Marlon county, having nover been notified by him that ho has ques tioned my statement of Interest due, and In caso an error had existed it could easily ha'vo been corrected had ho called for a correction thereof. An olllclal letter, giving a statement of tho account between tho county and tho state, wus forwarded to Mr, Mlnto under date of Juno 2d. On tho 5th, Inst., tho editor of tho paper referred to, armed with said letter, called at my ofllce und-deslrcd an explanation. This wns chcorfully given to him, as It would havo been to tho county treasurer himself had ho requested It. Notwithstanding, however, that tho editor's attention was drawn to the fact that Sundays Intervened In al most ovory Instance whero tho rccolpt was not Issued on the day remittances wero received at this olllco no men. tlou was made thereof. I am, there fore, convinced that an attempt was made to distort tho facts In tho case. I would say furthor that In no In stance are olllclnl receipts issued until collection of remittances have been made, or upon payment of tho amount in United Stutes gold coin, as pro vided by tho laws of this state." WHAT AHB THK FACTS? This remittances from tho treasurer of Marlon county ubovo referred to nro received each day at 3 o'clock us tho capltol mall currier tells us, ut tho state treasury. As theso checks aro Highest of all In teaveaing Power. Latest U.S. Gov't Report mm AflUMunmv msmx on tho llrst National bank, of Salem, if there wcro any doubt about their being good as gold, tho stato treasurer could telephone tho bank In a moment and ascertain. Tho city banking houses do not regulate the operation of the stnte treasury. The argument of the state treasurer, that tho chocks are received artcr banking hours, will not hold out. Tho state treasury Is open until 5 p. in. each day, and a re mittance on account of taxes to Btqp interest should be cntorcd as a credit tho day It Is rccolvcd, and interest stopped In lavor or tho county Just the same as a payment on a note. THR KULK OF HANKS in crediting such remittances is, that It tho check is apparently good, It Is ondorscd and credited, ir within 48 hours it Is round to bo not good, It is returned, and the credit Is cancelled. But no bank waits one to four days, boforo crediting a rcmltanco against in Interest-bearing account. Treasurer Mlnto was seen today by a Journal writer and says ho will proparo n reply to tho Stnto Treasurer. Ho will not pay tho Interest that. Is charged for time between thu receipt or his remittance and the date of tho credits. Tho treasurer's letter will-show, ir ho will allow It to bo published Just how tho credits tiro given and tho difference In Interest that the county has to pay. It Is purely a question of business und facts and nut a matter of u personal character so far as. The Journal s concerned. If tho treasurer Is right It can bo easily shown by tho post marks on tho letters and tho date of Treasurer Mluto's letters. JOURNAL "X" RAYS.
