RECENTLY at the Palace Hotel. prepara-
tory to general meeting later. Herr
Cornely and Architect Bennett, who ac-
conlpanied him from Chicago, were

and told the gentlemen that il was nec-
eesary for San Francisco to take some
action at once on the proposition to have
the fair, for, he said, 1900 foreign ex-
hibitors in Chicago, who had sent him
thifher to represent them, were anxious
toknow as soon as possible whether the
fair would be held there otherwise they
would send their exhibits to Antwerp,
where an exhibition is to be held imme-

Il is now considered almost certain
that, contrary to the usual custom, the
canneries along the Columbia river will
be compelled to pack salmon as fal
along as October, on account Of the
great falling off in operations this year,
Fall salmon are all Of the silyer-side
species, and are considered second grade
but, as there is no doubt that the July
pack, however large, will leave a dis
astrous shortage, this is the only way
outof the difficulty. The total business
fof the whole season to date is 122 ,26t
cases, and up TO June 26 last year ths
figures were 184,9I cases. All the can
neries are fully 50 per cent behind theil
ordinary records. Even the gillnets
which up to two weeks ago were meet
inc with extraordinary success, hay,
followed in the wake Of the traps ans
seines and are now catching next /,
nothing. The continued high cOlt
water iano doubt mainly accountable
Tor this state Of things. Eleven larg'
traps the other morning caught twenty
i've small salmon between them, ans
the whole Of the seinea together havl
not brought in more than ten tons 0
fieh since the season started. The short
aae has already affected the circulation
0i money in Astoria by close on $500, 900
and so2 less men are being employees
