shoalwater Bay Without Protection
Against this Glass of Lawbreakers.

Special Agent of the Treasury C. w
Johnston returned today from a triI
over on sShoalwater Bay, where he has
heen investigating the affairs of that
district. He reports that the facilities
for preventing smuggling on Shoalwater
Bay are wholly inadequate, and that
there are great opportunities for those
who make a business of landing con-
traband to come in at any time. Prac-
tically no attention is paid to the small
coasting vessels that put in there, and
in any event there is no means of pa
trolling the bay other than by slow
going sloops or on the tug boat. When
a vessel is sighted off the coast word is
sent in to the custom house at South
Bend, but nothing further can be done
in the matter, and whole cargoes Of
Chinese and opium could be brought in
and landed without the slightest him
drance.
A number Of small sloops ply about
the bay, ostensibly in the oyster and
fishing trade, and probably are. but It
would be the easiest thing in the world
for one of these smugglers to work in
on the same pretext. There has been
smuggling going on over at Shoalwatey
Bay as was evidenced by the gang Of
Chinese that was turned loose in that
vicinity a year or so ago, and there is
every reason to believe that 1t has not
altogether ceased.
Mr.. Johnston proposes to make appli-
caticn to the treasury department for q
fast launch with which to patrol the
waters of Shoalwater Bay, and thinks
that about the only means of protecting
that part of the coast.
Astoria will probably get a patrol
launch soon, thing much needed in
this district.

Grant county's natural resources are
producing so many rattIesnakes that
there is some talk of turning the hogs
out among them.
A Salem blood was at Albany re-
Gently, and was invited to be one OF a

The appearance Of the large specxled
gray horse with his tail tied in Psyche

It was suffering hot in Portland last

they were on the run.

Washington, July S1.-The prospects
Of an agreement on the tariff were much
improved today. For the first time In
many days the house Democratic cons
ferees came from the meeting with a
statement that the previous irrecon-
cilable differences were in progress OF
an amlcable adjustment With much
satisfaction the house members stated
to their associates that the senators
had shown a disposition for the first
time to meet the house half way. AS
to when full agreement would be per
fected there was some difference OF
opinion. One house conferee said Il
would probably be this week., An
other thought it would be soon
Chairman Wilson would not even admit
an understanding had gone far enough
to warrant prediction Of a speedy
report. He said, however. that the con
ferees had at last done some business
and made progress today which was
more than could be said of any pasi
meeting. The senate conferees came
from the meeting without showing the
hopefulness Of the house members
They said the conference was far from
a decision as it had been. While there
was this conflict among those thorough
ly informed of the inside workings Of
the conference, the general belief pre-
vailed that the hopefulness Of the house
conferees had some substantial foun-
dafinn.

THE MEETING DIDN'T MEET.

Some time ago, the Astorian called
attention Of the members of the Cham
ber Of Commerce to the fact that the
Pacific Can Company's property was
advertised and sold by the sheriff for
taxes, and that 1t was the duty Of the
chamber to look into the matter, as
they had guaranteed the company's
taxes for certain number Of years
Did they do IT?
Yes; they as individuals met on the
street and discussed the matter and all
agreed that it should be attended to.
Did they attend to 1t
Let us see.
A meeting OF the chamber was called
for yesterday afternoon for the purpose
Of taking up the matter, and 1t was
so understood among the members.
When the hour OF meeting arrived,
instead OF every member OF the clam-
Der being on hand, there was just one,
wee President Talent. He waited nm
til 2 o'clock, and as no one else came,
he. too. left and the room was again
empty.
What does this mean?
Does 1t mean that the members Of
the chamber do not realize what the re-
action will be If they repudiate their
their agreement with this factory, whom
they induced by certain promises, to To-
cate here?
Every man who was o member OF the
chamber at the time negotiations were
made and completed with the Pacific
Can Company is responsible for his pro-
portion Of the taxes, whether he is a
member Of that body now or not.
The citizens, through the Chamber Of
Commerce should lose no time in max.
ing good the pledge given to the Pacific
Can Company two years ago when they
were induced to locate their plant in
this city.

WIRES ARE DOWN.

At 1890 last night the Western Union
wires went down somewhere between
this city and Portland consequently
the Astorlan appears this morning with
only part Of its telegraph report, most
Of it being afternoon dispatches. 1t Is
not thought the break is bad one, as
the working OF the wire is evidently
hindered by coming in contact with
the fallen limbs Of trees, or coming in
contact with water.

Our Wall Papers.

Every one knows that whom the walls
of room arc papered with a light
paper it looks much more cheerful, but
we hardly realize the great difference
between dark and light papering. A
scientist has now measured it in sys-
tematic way and has come to the follow
ing results: Suppose the room is cover
ed with black cloth and requires 100
candles to give it a certain degree Of
light. If you take away the black cloth
and paper the room with dark brown
paper, 877 candles give the same amount
of light. With blue paper 70 candles
will do; with fresh yellow paint GO can
dies give rs much light, and with clean
deal board walls so candles arc suffi-
cient. But if the room be painted in
white 10 candles make it rs light as 81
candles with the dark brown surround
fngs. Tho conclusion is evident. Not
only is it bad for the eyes to have sud
den contrast of dark and light, but it
is also much more expensive to light 2
candles where two or three would lie
sufficient.

FINANCE AND COMMERCE.
New York Stock Market.

New yoRK, June s.-London sold

local stock exchange this morning and
lower prices we're the result. The stocks
declined A@A per cent. while American
Sugar for special and local causes fell
from 1854 to l04x. There were realiza-
tions on liberal scale in this speciality
and in addition there was some selling
for the short account by operators who
look for sharp fight when the sugar
schedule reaches the house.
When the foreign selling ceased, how
ever, the general list recovered rapidly
and Sugar returned to 105A. The i'm
provement in the general list which set

interruption worthy of note until just

rule seemed to be imbued with an idea
that the Senate will pass the tariff bill
at an early date and this. in conjunction
with reports from the West that an ami
cable adjustment of the soft coal strike
may be reached at the conference,
caused the better feeling.
The gold engagements for to-morrow's
steamer proved to be much larger than
expected, the sum of SO ,O00, 600 being
secured here and at Boston, but the
movement, SO usual Of late, had no in
fuence to speak Of on stock prices. The
gold was all taken from the sub treas
ury. Stock operators were inclined to
consider the steady advance in wheat of
greater Importance than the loss Of the
gold just referred to. Chicago Gas WAS
again active, 10000 shares changing
hands at 7516 to Tx. Brokers alleged
to be working for the pool were buyers
and 1t was again reported that the total
