Portland, June IS.-Thes Ore
gon!aG jhis morning says editOrially:
t. aluual meetings OF the stock
holders cf the Oregon < Transcon-
tll"Etal and O eEan Railway ". Navi-
E.ii.- ympA.,e7 which took place
yesterday had been awaited with
luUcu interest, no: OILY IL Portland,
but throughout the northwest The
raIlwaE policy Of the northwest was
understood to be deeply involved in
the result of the .. Il. * \. election,
and IN the course the Oregon &
Trarscontinental might decide to
take il regard to their company's
holdings on the O. Il. X \. stock.
On the general issues of the con-
test sor possession Of the Oregon
Railway & Navigation, and for the
direction Of its policy, The Oregon
ian, speaking as 1t conceived IN the
interest Of the country, has had a
good deal to say during more than a
year past 1t has now to say that it
Is quite satisfied with tha results that
! have been reached. Though there
was q compromise between the par
ties directly interested and not a
| clear victory Oh all points for either
one, Vet in fact for Portland, for
Oregon and for the northwest in gen
erai. the result is as satisfactory as
coIld be desired.
Looking at it purely from the
standpoint of the public interest, we
regard the result as triumph for
Portland and for the country at
large We have a board OF direc-
tors fol the Oregon Railway " Navi-
| CATION whose names are an assurance
! that our interests will not be traf-
| ficked away, overlooked or disregard
ed. The resident disrectors are men
thoroughly identified with the bust
ness OF Portland and the interests of
tie country, Farther, the Oregon
4 Irgnscontintal agrees to sell its
| holdings of Oregon Railway n Navi
| CATION stock, and as q consequence
the conditions that have produced so
much disturbance in the past will
now cease to exist, and finally the
roads north of the Snake river now
under construction by the Washing
tor \ Idaho Company upon their
| completion are to become Il recog-
nized part of the Oregon Railway &
| Navigation system. In the interest
of Oregon we could not ask more.
We shall not undertake to review the
long controversy nor to go over the
many steps through which the result
has been reached. 1t suflices that
tho result itself is good--better, in
deed, than could have been foreseen

THE MAN WITH THE BATON.
What Director is For and How a Skill
full one Aids the Musicians,

A great many of the unknowing
wonder why man stands with his
back 10 the audience at concerts and
waves stick Ill the air. He is the
most conspicuous figure in the hall,
and when the unmusical tire of list
enIng to the sounds of the orchestra
or chorus they amuse themselves by
watching the movements Of the ''di-
rector" He does not seem to direct,
bat simply to keep time with the
music as they might do with their
feet. If they would watch a little,
perhaps, they would see that the di-
rector keeps ahead OF the orchestra,
and anticipates its soft and sweep
ing passages and many details with
the motion of the baton.
The director bears something of
the same relation to the orchestra
that a general does to an army" said
William g. Hunter, who has criti.
cal knowledge of music and musi-
clans. Suppose a body of soldiers
should start out without aleader. If
somebody cried git the whole num-
Der would be thrown into confusion.
OF course this is only crude Illus
tration. The musicians cannot play
together by simply reading their
own music. The man busy with the
drums, for instance, cannot hear
whether his parts are too loud OF too
soft. He keeps one eye On the di-
rector and obeys his motions. All
the musicians do tue same.
The director has a great deal to
look after. His music Is not written
line after line down the page like
that of the musician. 1t is what is
known as the score There is bu.
one line of the whole composition on
each page, and on the various stats
is the music of each part of the or
chestra. All these parts must be
read at once. In large orchestras
there have been more than twenty
parts to the music. 1t takes great
skill and experience to be q good
score reader.
"The difference between a good
and poor director is in the degree
of control he has over his orchestra
or chorus. Wagner was one of the
greatest leaders. When Emperor
William, who of course had great
orchestras and choruses during all
his life, first saw Wagner direct his
orchestra, he turned to those with
him and said: See. that shows
what a general could do with his
army Some lead,r- of choruses sc
insist on the detail Of the music
that the hundreds sing as though
with ono voice, and the pianissimc
passages are so soft-althouSh the
whole chorus sings them-that the
slightest noise In the hall would be
noticeable"

On tu Puget SSUEd.

II is understood that the Illinois Cen
trail railroad will build line from Pier
r. 8. D., TO Puget Sound, taking an air
line and expecting to pass through tie
Black Hills near DeRdwOod. An eXp,c-
ring party left Pierre u day or two ago,
TO make out the survey. The sam OF
$4,000 has been placed at the disposal
OF tho expedition, and as soon as the
survey is made and the line located tie
work OF construction will bsgin. 81 one
point on the line a small town Is located
having now about 150 :ahabitants. It
is here that cer'aln large capitalists in
terestei in the scheme propose TO build
the Chicago OF the far west. TIE plan
10 stupendous IN proportions, \ seveu-
foot vein of coal has been opened there,
and mica has been found in great quan-
titles. 1t is proposed to establish there
q large mill for the manufacture OF tin
from the natural product. ibis enter
prise will employ 1000 men. a water
power equal to that al MINNEAPOLIS Is
found there, and the sutruuau'u& coun-
try is unexcelled for agricultural pur-
poses. Railroad men CLAM nat this Is
the only line in the country Torth buld-
ing at present. Senator D1ud Of DIko-
Ia is also interested in the great schrme.
Thus far it has been kept secret, and
even now the name of the town, which it
is proposed shall be a second Chicago,
has not been made public.

The Body OF a Man Found.

Captain Gilmore of the steamer Vir.
GiAiR yesterday morning about 10
o'clock picked up a small boat contain
ing the body OF a man. The boat was
found between Admiralty Head md
HRnoock's landing. When found the
mans body was hanging IN the water,
and his legs were tangled up in the lines
In the boat, which prevented him from
falling entirely out. A line was half
hltched around his left hand, being the
sail line. At the time of the finding
OF the boat it was half fnll of water.
The boat had four row locks, but no
ears were found. Captain Gilmore says
that before reaching the boat, about a
mile away he saw floating large bun
die but could not make out the nature
OF its contents.
The next witness who testified before
the coroner's jury was Wm. Il. Shearer,
q resident Of Port Angeles. He swore
that the boat WAS the property OF Mr..
Nicklin, citizen OF Port Angeles.
This witness also testified that the to-
baeco pouch found upon the person Of
the drowEed man was that Of a man by
she name OF Shaffer, who resides in Port
Angeles, and that the pocket book re-
sembled one that he had seen the same
person have, but that the drowned man
was not Shaffer.
Among articles found in the pockets of
the deceased were a tobacco pouch,
pocket book and number of letters ad-
dressed to ]. w. Shaffer. One letter ap-
katz for groceries, and drawn by Mrs.
Shsffer. The coat found in the boat.
one witness testified, Belonged to Shaffer.
The deceased was a man about %
years of age, and, judging from his dress
and appearance, was a laboring man.
His apparel at the time that he was
found consisted of woolen shirt, pair
of cl cap pants and a pair of boots that
had the tops cut off. From the peculiar
circumstances surrounding the affair,
there is some mystery. 1t is believed
that there was more than this one man
in the boat. The fact that Shaffer's coat
was found in the boat leads us to sup
pose that either Shaffer was in the boat,
or the deceased had stolen the same.
The coroner has telegraphed tc Mrs.
Shaffer at Port Angeles, in order to as
certain. if possible, the identity of the
man.
Tho coroner's jury WAS composed Of
the following: 1. $. Grags, Tom Hut
ton, Frank Francis, T. Torghusen, L.
Mcdonald and John McInnes. The in
quest was adjourned until one p. m. to-
Tlay

James Keenan,, one Of the best
known sporting men in Boston, died
at his home tonight OF heart trou-
BILE and dropsy, after six months
sickness. He was 80 years old and

backed james Tecmer in many
races.
Keenan, was John L. Sullivan's
first backer and vas Instrumental in
securing the $4,000 purse for the
fight between Sullivan and Ryan,
but that ended his relations with the
big fellow, as they quarreled over the
division of the spoiis.
Mr.. he nan took 4 fancy TO Kill
rain and offered to back Gim against
Charlie Mitchell after he had wit
messed their four-round contest here
some years ago.
As an all-around sporting man he
was among the foremost. and was
noted everywhere for being square.

FRIENDLY COMPETITION" BE-
TWEEN MIGHTY
RIVALS.
TranscontinentaPs o. IL. & n. Stock
Sold.

PORTLAND, June 16--Seattie may
facilitate herself over the result of
yesterdays railway election. 1t leaks
ont that the Oregon ~ Transconti
mental Company has already sold its
holdings of Oregon Railway Il Navi-
CATION stock, and the latter company
will now be free to pursue an ag-
gressive policy with regard to the
Puget Sound.
Arrangements are now making for
chartering another steamship to run
between Portland and Sound points
in connection with the steamship
Idaho. This increased service will
probably be established In week.
It is stated on reliable authority
that the Oregon Railway Il Naviga-
ton will now make hard fight TO
wrest Seattl6's through traffic from
the Northern Pacific. They expect
that there will be little delay III AZ
ranging (under yesterdays agree
ment) for trackage over the Northern
Pacific, and in case the latter comPa-
nv refuses ample facilities, the Ore
gon Railway & Navigation will no
doubt build to Seattle with as little
delay as possible.
Under the trackage agreement the
whole region east of the Cascade
mountains will be open to friendly
competition between the Oregon
Railway / Navigation and Northern
Pacific. Each is to be allowed to run
cars over the others lines. The Ore
gon Railway & Navigation holds Spo-
kane Falls and Cgur d Alenc, but
the Northern viii be permitted to OPP
crate trains over these branches.
Elijah Smith, General Manager
Holcomb, General Dodge and others
of the Union Pacific left tonight by
special train, and will go through to
Port Townsend. they will reach
Seattle Thursday, and spend the day
there.
