SCENES OF EXTREME PATuOs.
Ouc of the Hercavcd Tries Ia Drown Him.
scIf-Motorman's story.

The scenes about the river while the work
OF rescue was being prosecuted were pa-
thctic In the extreme. IL was sad crowd,
and out Of respect for the unfortunate
dead but very little noise was made. Oc
casionally the wild SCREAM of some frantic
woman who believed some one dear to her
was among the unfortunate ones would
echo over the flats, only to bc taken up at
u distance by some other woman whose
heart was breaking over her loss.
As the bodies were passed from the fire
boat to the willing hands on shore every
few fec, some woman would step out from
the crowd, peer into the face OF the dead
~ IL passed, and Its not him, thank
God, she would say. AS the body OF n
young boy was taken from the fire boat an
old lady nearly fell into the river in her
anxiety to see the face Of the dead. She
would not bc put back. She throw her
self ON the body, looked into the face and
cried: Thank Cod Falling upon her
knees she raised her voice to heaven and
prayed rs only mother could under the
circumstances.
NJ another spot two men were trying to
hold an almost distracted woman. She
believed her husband was on the ill-fatcd
car anu was almost insane with grief
women and children went this and that
way, screaming and justling each other;
women tearing their hair ana calling upon
God to save their dear ones. Women
tainted and were tramplcd on by the mad,
rushing and insane crowd 1t was i'm
possible to keep any kind Of order and
tho effort was finally abandoned. 1t was a
crowd with n common grief Not one of
the multitude but thought that pcrhaps a
brother, mother, father or sister was a.
the moment lying cold in death at the
bottom of the river.
The finding Of the body Of little Gcrtie
Hoffman filed the cup Of sorrow for A.

he talked about the accident and said:
when my motor reached the switch ut
the approach OF the draw in the viaduct /
shut OF the current and applied the brake.
The car came to q full stop and the con-
ductor ran ahead and threw the switch.
He notioncd me ahead with a wave Of his
arm ] put my lever ut the first notch
and as l passed the conductor I looked
back, as always do, and saw him get on
the rear platform. Looking ahead I
thought I saw the gates at the draw closed
over the track, but as my lights were burn.

Cured to me that my eyes must have been

when you first saw the gates of tho
draw were your lights burning and did
sou have a current!"
Il did have IA current and my lights
were burning. That is the reason why
thought OF no danger. When the draw is
open the lights usually go out, but it was
not the case ut the time of the accident, as
can swear. As told you. was sur
priscd when / saw the gates and knew
that had both light and current, which
has never been the case before when the
gates have been closed, as the swinging Of
the bridge cuts off the current, and, Of
course, when this is done the lights go
out"
How do you account for the strange
fact!'
II cannot account for 1t, but swear
that IL was SO. have never had an ac-
cidcnt Of any kind, until this one, and I
believe this will kill me-" Rogers is ter
ribly moved by the accident. When his
wife said to him: But it was no fault of
yours" he replied: "No, but think of it,
oh my God! Just think Of it." 1t was
some time before he could go on with his
story.
LATER-The trucks of the car have been
raised, but no more bodies found. Those
missing are supposed to have floated
away. 1t is certain that the death roll is
nineteen In full, as enumerated in the fore

GOLD EXPORTS AND BONDS.

Chicago Tribune.
A precise statement of the relation
which the bond syndicate holds to the
national treasury has been asked for
several times within the last few days.
No official answer to the question is
available, but the syndicate some time
since announced its intention to protect
t1e interests of the foreigners who have
invested in bonds and other American
securities as result of It's interven-
tion, and its attitude since the export
OF gold started UP again may be accepted
as proof that the syndicate viii maintain
the Treasury reserve Mt ont less than
$100000,D00 up to the close of the next
month. But 1t is almost certain that
the contract with the syndicate will ex-
plre with the month Of September.
When the contract was entered upon
in February the, end of September was
fixed on as the time limit because 1t
was expected the export movement OF
produce would by that time be so we'll
under way. THAT exports would exceed i'm
ports, while also it was hoped that the
revenues under the new law would be
equal to the current expenditures. 1t
perhaps is too early now to say that
these expectations will not be realized,

AN UNDEsERvBD INSULT.

That Mr.. j. c. Stanton Should have
stepped out of his way in Portland yes
terday to give his Impressions on Col
umbia River commerce and railroad build
ing generally to an Oregonian reporter,
does not surprise US, for his vapory con-
nection with Mr.. Hammond has no doubt
elevated him into a public character, ana
into the position Of 1T subject for
made such astounding statements az are
credited to MIN Is to us matter Of ab-
so.ute surprise. Whether Mr.. Stanton
hs in his dotage or not the Astorlan does
not know and certainly does not
care, but inasmuch as he has detIber-
ately or otherwise seen fit to talk like
an oracle about matters concerning which
be must of necessity be absolutely ana
entirely ignorant, he has laid himself
open to the puo.icy displayed cont snpt
and legitimate criticism CT every citizen
Of Astoria. This gentleman in the course
of his INTERVIEW" says:
''They talk about the handing Of
n eight at the WharVes here. What II a
few less ships do come up 70 PortlandY
Is that going to build rival city at the
mouth Of the river? All the business VIII
always be done here"
We are glad to know Mr.. Stantons true
opinion. He had a slightly different idea
when, several months ago, he attempted
to secure the subsidy now controlled by
Mr. Hammond, by promises and prayers
subsequently proved to be about as SUBJ
stantial as pieerust. He goes on to say:
II believe | know something about
railroads. My experience with them
commenced in 1889 with n dumpcart,
when foreign labor was unknown, ana
when farmers along the line turned in
and built the grades since then / have
built, financiered and operated roads all
over the country"
The Astorian is unable to dispute the
splendid financiering abilities of Mr.. Stan
ton. He has built more miles Of railroad, |
on wind, than any man IN America, and |
the lamentable wrecks Of Systems" that |
thick from Chattanooga, Tennessee, up |
10 the northern boundary line Mr. j. c. |
Stanton has opened his mouth in time |
or the people of Astoria to realize what
| narrow escape they have had, and how
excellent was their Judgment of last
ear which led them to turn him and his
propositions" to the right about, and
aused MIN to disappear from this city
8 suddenly as he came.
