The result will be waited for with the
keenest interest, and the Astorians
bulletin announcements will no doubt
be as eagerly watched as they were on
Monday. AS soon as the kilograms
reach this Office, they will be trans
ferred to the bulletin boards.

Senator Teiler's Iiea.

Senator Teller says that those senators who
are friendly to silver are agreed that II bill
is passed suspending the purchase of bullion,
It will be impossible to get any other measure
on the subject on the statute books because
of the opposition of the President. Hence
Mr.. Teller says that the friends Of silver will
resort to every means possible to prevent the
passage OF an unconditional repeal bill. Sem
ator Vest of Missouri, who has bern counted
upon to vote for the repeal of the Sherman
act, agrees with Mr. Teller that 1t viii NOT do
10 pass unconditional repeal measures and
then trust for the future for further legisla-
tion. Senator Manderson of Nebraska is said
NOT TO favor unconditional repeal. Senator
Dolph and Senator Mitchell of Oregon prob
ably will not.

The Cherokee Erection.

The election returns from the nine districts
of the Cherokee nation show a complete revo-
luton in Cherokee politics. The Downing
party, which has been In power for six years,
met with disastrous defeat and the Nauonas
swept the nation carrying eight OF the nine
districts, electing sixteen senators out OF
eighteen and thirty-six members out OF forty
nine of the lower house. The cause OF the
defeat Of the Downing party was the beiief
ON the part of the people that the Downing
administration was responsible for not selling
the $6, ,OOO, 900 of Cherokee bonds received for
the sale Of the Cherokee strip.

Rioting In Bombsy.

The riots growing out of the religious dif-
ferences between the Mohammedans and Hin
docs resident In Bombay city have had more
serious results than were at first apprehended.
The bad feeling between the two religious
sects is becoming more bitter, and when Mo-
hammedan and HIndoo meet the slightest
taunt from one or the other is sufficient to
precipitate a row.
There is feeling of uneasinesss everywhere
in the city, and merchants and shopkeepers
have closed their places of business, fearing
that another outbreak will occur and their
places be looted by rioters.
Up to the present time more than fifty per
sons are known to have been killed, and fully
200 have been arrested. Burial parties were
accompanied by strong pickets. in spite OF
which they were frequently attacked by re-
iigious opponents.
Further relnforcemcnts of cavalry and In
faptry have arrived from Poona and are biy-
ouacing In the streets.

Colonel Lamont left him at New York and
the President went direct to Buzzard's Bay.
The following statement made by the Pres
ident was given out for publication:
MY absence from the capital at this time
may excite some surprise In view of the in
tense interest in the subject now awaiting the
determination of Congress. Though my
views and recommendations have already
been officially submitted TO that body, and
though l am by no means certain could fur
ther aid in bringing about the result which
seem so necessary, it would be great salts

of action. But whether l am here or else
where, shall look with hope and confidence
to the action OF those upon whom the respon-
sibility now rests of relieving our people from
their present dangers and difficulties
II am going back to my summer home at
the scashore, because am not sufficiently
rested from the strain to which have been
subjected since the fourth OF March to fit me
to again resume the duties and labors which
await me here. I have been compelled by
those whose advice cannot disregard that
the further rest contemplate is absolutely
necessary 10 my health and strength. shall
remain away during the month of August
aud shall devote myself to rest and outdoor
recreation.
My days doinss will be devoid OF interest
to the public and + shall be exceedingly
pleased II can be free from the attention of

FISH STORIES.

We have always supposed that the one thing
definitely settled and universally agreed TO-
among persons professionally engaged In PTS
catorial pursuits as n means OF gaining liveli-
hood, as well as with that large and useful class
who at certain seasons Of the year put on I'M
usual clothes and. having equipped themselves
with costly paraphernalia, go out and whip Il
trout stream or sit and hold n pole all day over
q pond or lake Of the sea-was, that
when they rccounted their adventures every
thing went. That Is 10 say, no question Of
vcracity could be raised. II was permissible as
we have always understood. whenever a fish Of
unusual size, or a phenomenal days catch. was
reported for listener TO drop the corner Of
his eye or lift an eyebrow. or in some such I'M
dcmonstrative and inoffensivc way Indicate
that he was, rs they say In literary and sci
entific circles. ION TO II" and we believe it
sometimes happens In rural groceries that at
the end Of fish story OF thrilling interest and
uncommonly full OF romantic Incidents the vii
lage sceptic who reads Voltalrc and Tom
Paine and openly doubts the story OF Jonah

crackcr-barrel n low suggestive whistle. But 10
raise openly and squarely a question or veraclty
over fish story is almost unprecedented, ana
always considered in bad form.
And vet at the meeting in this city on
"Wednesday of Fish Commissioners, fish dealers
and fishermen. professional and amateur, some
thing very like what is called passing the
lie" occurred I'm two or three instances
PhiladclphIa gentleman having made the simple
and carefully accurate statement that few
wears ago mcnliadcn were so plentiful on the
Jersey coast that they impcdcd the progress OF
his boat rs he tried to row through them, Il
wcather-bcatcn fisherman from Long Branch
octuollv DISPUTED IT, He said he had been fish
inc off the Jersey coast for Hfty years. and had
never seen the time when menhaden were run
ming at any such rate as that Then lawyer
from BrZzard's Bay. who is Il member OF the
same fishing club with President Cleveland,
made n statement TO the effect that the food fish
in Buzzarls Bay had been destroyed by the
mcnhadcn fishermen. At which Il represent
alive Of The Mcnhaden Association rose up ana
asserted that the Buzzard's Bay man didn't
know what he was talking about. DO not
mean 10 say" said the mcnhaden man. mat
he lios but simply that he docs not tel 'ic
truth" The mcnhadcn man drew rather me
distinction How much better 1t would nave
hccn had ne expressed his incrednlity IN me
lifted eyebrow or the low, suggestive whistle
Of the village sceptic Or. still better. he might
have asked the Blzzard's Bay man if thc motto
of his fishing club was Mr.. Clcvcand's famous
order. Tell the truth
These differences among the official repre-
scntativcs of the prisons engaged in piscatorlal
pursuits are painful TO contemplate. They
threaten 10 make IN end Of that fine courtesy
among fishermen which forbids analysis or crit
icism Of fish stories. Now that the courtesy
Of the Senate" has practically disappeared, 1t
seems all the more desirable that the courtesy
of fishermen be maintained 1t is to be hoped
that the plscatorial persons will make it their
first business 10 restore the original conditions
and establish in pcrmanencc the rule that IN
telling fish stories everything goes In other
words. that he vino dallics "-mcanng there /
