Minister Bayafd has notified the Brit

sires" to withdraw from the Samoa
agreement. Does Gresham expect any
well-informed person to believe any
thing else than that this is in direct re-

1t is not generally known, but a
strong underhand opposition is in prog
ress in certain sections Of the East, par
ticularly about Chicago, Buffalo, Troy
and even New York City, against any
form of government aid or encourage
ment to the Nicaragua canal. The
reason for this Is obvious; and 1t fur
nishes one of the most powerful argu-
ments in favor of the construction of
the canal, and its financial success
when completed.

there ever was time in the history of
the state when Republicans should
abandon the pernicious habit of voting
for candidates on other tickets because

ing election. The situation is too seri-
ous to admit of any sort Of excuse for
the election of any man who Is not q

a very Objectionable feature of the
new bill is the general substitution of
ad valorem for specific duties. This win
open the way for perpetrating gross
frauds by undevaluations. Nothing
short of absolute free trade could more
effectually place our markets at the
mercy Of European producers. In a sea-
son of over-production when glut;ed

AN OLD VETERAN.

There Is an old cannon, dismonnted,
rusty with age, and weatherbeaten, ~
ing in the open space adjoining the
office Of Young q Lewis, on Bond street,
that arouses the curiosity daily of many
passers-by. The piece has o history of
some interest. 1t was formerly the sig
nal gun On the ship Silvia de Grace,
which was wrecked in this harbor in
1S49. The Silvia was a French bottom,
though owned in America, and was in
the early days Liverpool liner or pack
ct ship. She was sent to this coast, and
in 1S49, during the gold excitement, lum-
ber in San Francisco being worth from
5000 to $500 per thousand, Dutch" Gray,
as he was familiarly called, conceived
the idea of supplying the demand at a
profit. He came to the Columbia with
the Silvia, and succeeded in securing
from small mills at Oregon City, Mil
waukie and Hunts Mills. about one
million feet of lumber with which she
was loaded and started. In beating
down the river she struck on the reef
where the wreck has remained ever
since. There was another craft in the
harbor at the time, the ship Walpole,
loaded with supplies for the government
Gray offered the captain of the Walpole
bonus of $4,000 and good freight be-
Slut.5, IL ne WOulu ldhe lillS luillDcE OIL
the wreck and freight 1t to Frisco, but
the captain declined the offer as he
claimed he was Under charter for the
round trip, and to do so would forfeit
his insurance and endanger his ship.
The lumber was finally shipped by
smaller craft, the ship dismantled and
her outfit sold.
Gen. John Adair bought among other
things this cannon, and some time later,
when Rev. r. A. Hyland was building
the Episcopal church, now known as
Rescue Hall, he presented 1t to him.
Subsequently, A. Van Dusen, John
Hobson, and number Of other demo-
Gratis, wishing to help the church,
bought 1t, paying one hundred dollars
for 1t, and 1t became, as it has since re-
mained, the property of the democrats
of Clatsop county.
1t has been used in many celebra-
tlons since one occasion being in 1856
when Adair, Van Dusen and others fired
1t all night long in honor of Buchanan's
election, the news of which did not
reach them until December of that year,
when 1t was brought by pony express.
Another event easily recalled is when
Collector Page and eX-Sheriff Twilight
called 1t into requisition on the occasion
of marriage between high society peo-
pie, at an unseemly hour in the morn
ing.
