NO ASTORIA ROAD SOON.
Nearly All the workmen to BE Lsid ON
for Lack Of Funds.

Portland, Or, Sept. 21.--Rumorshav
been afioat for the past day or two to
the effect that work on the Astoria
Goble railroad was to be stopped for
the winter. There have been 80 many
reports In regard to this road that any
new one attracts but little attention;
but it appears on investigation that
this latest one, while not wholly cor
rect. is well founded.
From the best information attaina.
BILE, 1t seems quite certain that about
three-fourths Of the men at work on
the line are to be laid of today. The
three dredges, which have been work
ing night and day building the en-
bankment, or grade, across the tide
lands above Tongue point, will be kept
at work; but will work in the day
time only. 1t was reported yesterday
that eighteen Of the camps on the road
have been abandoned, and that there
are only eleven left. This means the
cessation Of work on the greater part
Of the line on high ground. The reason
given for keeping the dredges at work
on the tideland is that it is desirable to
get the grade built there before next
spring, as high food might interrupt
it. The work on the high ground can
be done at any time, and next summer
to better advantage than during the
winter, and there need be no trouble
about the road being completed by next
harvest 1t is said that the reason for
stopping work is the impossibility Of
securing money to carry it on, on ac-
count Of the financial situation.

Sons, and the Union iron works.
Washington, Sept. 1e.-The bids for

about 1000 tons each, were opened
at the navy department. today. The

attempt was made to bind the govern.
ment to pay for the ships in gold or
its equivalent. The bids were as fol.
lows:
Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry.
dock Company, Of Virginia, one ship,
81, sos, 600; John 81. Dialogue & Son,
Camden, N. j., one ship, 1861, 900;

San Francisco. one ship. s2.674. $50.
The lowest bidders are In order,

Eastern bid, to Offset the difference Of
prices between the Atlantic and Pacific

congress, must award the contracts for

lieved the armor can be supplied by

The new vessles are to be combina-
tions of the best features Of the Iowa
and Kearsarge, now under construc-
tion, modified by such improvements
as experience has suggested. They
will be s6S feet long on the water line,
and seventy-two feet wide in the mid
die. The vessels will be propelled by
engines Of 10000 horse power and
will BE- expected to make speed Of
sixteen knots an hour.
Offensively, each Of the three new
ships will possess two very powerful
batteries. The main battery will be
composed Of four 13-inch breechloading
rifles and fourteen 6-inch rapid. firing
rifles. The secondary battery designed
to repel torpedo-boats and light craft
and to swamp the unarmored parts Of
an enemy, will consist of sixteen g.
pound rapid-fire guns, four 12.pound
rapid-fre, four machine or Gatling
guns and one field piece.
In addition to the force, an allowance
Of gun cotton for submarine mining
and eight automobile torpedos TO be
discharged from the two tubes on each
broadside amidships, will be carried
for that silent and more deadly phase
of naval warfare.

San Francisco, Sept. 21.-The Cali.
fornia Hotel Mems Association has de.
cided to institute legal proceedings to
compel Major w. B. Hooper, manager
of the Occidental hotel, to pay $500

calls the story of the difficulties which
grew out of the visit to this city in
April last Of several hundred mem bers

Association. To entertain the visitors
the local association raised several
thousand dollars Major Hooper sub.
scribed $500. The visitors arrived and
the Occidental hotel manager was
called upon to pay. He refused to do
SO on the ground that he had not been
accorded fair share of the patronage
of the visiting hotel men. None of the
visitors went to the Occidental. At

scribed as Edward Bell, alias Edward
]. Ivory. an American, and a hotel
keeper at 211 Lexington avenue, New
York. Bell is accused of conspiring
with others to cause an explosion in
the United Kingdom. He was re-
manded for a week and removed to
Holloway Jail this afternoon.
New York, Sept 21.-The only Ed
ward ]. Ivory in the New York city di.
rectory is given as doing business in
liquors, at 220l Lexington avenue and
20l8 Eighth avenue. About two
weeks ago Ivory went ON vacation,
leaving the saloon in charge of the
head bartender. He is supposed to be
in Boston. The bartender wrote him
few days ago, and received letter
from Ivory telling him about certain
matters concerning the saloon. An
other Ivory kept saloon ON East One
Hundred and Eighteenth street. Some
time ago he mysteriously disappeared.
In spite of the statement Of the bar
tender, there is good reason for the
statement that Bell and Ivory are one
and the same person.

DAYLIGHT AHEAD.

The political skies are frightening,
The silver craze is on the wane In
telligenee from Indiana, illinois and
Iowa is that those great States are as
sured to Mckinley and honest money.
Even from Colorado comes the cheer
ing refrain that The people are tired OF
Populism.
Coupled with the above is the fact
that the outflowof gold from this coun-
try has not only been checked but that
the current has changed and that 81, I
600, 900 of the yellow metal is now on
its way to this country with more
possibly $40, 900, 900 to $4,000, 900 to
follow. This is due in part to the
causes noted above and in part to the
speech of Hon. Bourke Cochran, in
New York, Tuesday evening. The
magnificent audience which assembled
to hear him-magnificent not only in
numbers but in character and intelli-
gence-had much to do in bringing
about the change.
The work so well begun must not
lag. Efforts to gain sweeping vic
tory must not cease. The campaign
Of education must go on and on until
every voter is reached. All who de-
sire prosperity instead of poverty
must strive earnestly, diligently for
the cause of right against riot, ruin
and reputation. Sound money and
Protection have only to assert them
selves. Their power is irresistible.
