HIGHBINDER WAR.
Chinatown, in San Francisco. Preparing
for Hostiltties.

san Francisco, January 30.-The Sam
Yup Co. is preparing for battle and to
avenge the murder of the late Little
Pete. This was shown tonight when
the police raided highbinder meeting
place in Fish alley. Ten Chinese were
arrested and in their possession were
found eight big new pistols.
As one of the precautions against
trouble in Chinatown the police are
watching the gun stores. Tonight the
vigilance Of an officer was rewarded
by seeing a Chinese entering gun
store and purchasing eight pistols. He
followed the highbinder and at the
proper moment a squad entered the
house where he disappeared. They
were hustled off to Jail and the police
demolished the furniture Of the room.

Salem. January 30.-It Is not expected
that the legislature will do anything

his forces together and be assured OF
forty-six votes. II he can not persuade
forty-six members to go into joint ses-

able that Jonathan Bourne will be
elected speaker.

BIO SAVING TO THE CITY.
Important Matters to BE Decided By
the Council NJ the Next Meeting.

Ai the meeting Of the common coun-
cil Friday evening the water commits
sion presented petition offering 10
High, the city. using the water power
from the city water works. The COM
mission set forth that sixty lights would
be provided II an appropriation OF $3.50
per month was made MOI more than
sixty lights viii be Furnished. The mat
ter was referred TO the committee on
fire and water.
II THIS offer r. accepted the annual
cost OF lighting the city win be but
400. At present there are 20 are lights
in Astoria. These lights cost annually
$500 on nearly ti2 a. month each. At
the present rate OF charge sixty arc
lights would cost the city about $500.
n the water commlsSion's proposition
is accepted H.lOO VIII be saved annual
ly. Part ef this saving. II is said. can
be expended TO good advantage In plac-
ing lights along the water front. In
the event OF the commissions Offer be-
ing accepted the total reduction over
last years running expenses viii
amour, to about tl2. 500. The only other
question seems 10 DE whether the water
commission can gea power the year
round The matter will be acted upon
al the next meeting.
Friday night the committee on health
and pollce reported adsersely on the
application OF certain liquor dealers for
the privilege OF paying saloon licenses
semi annually. The license Is 800 a
year. and the saloon men pe,itioned
for the privilege of paying $500 every
The matter. Il is said. was never
brought before the Liquor Dealers As
sociation. but was the effort Of lndivid
ual saloon keepers The petition was
denied 10 keep out persons who would
engage IN business only during the
fishing season.
In the estimate OF receipts for the
coming year $4,000 Is expected TO be
derived from saloon licenses. This
amount will probably not be realized
as there are but forty-one saloons in
Astoria, They pay licenses aggregat.
ing sis 400. In addition there are sew.
eral places paying Wholesale licenses
but hardly enough to bring the tota
smount up to $4,000. However the de
fioft. 10 there Is one will be insignih'
cant and will not materially affect the
estimates.
Experts say that the city is now In
better financial condition than 1t has
been for many years past. There vii
be a balance on the proper side Of the
books In 1895
In the appropriation Tor street pur.
poses amounts are set aside for thC
improvement OF Commercial street
from Tenth west TO Fifth or Fourth
This improvement is greatly TO be de
sired. as that portion Of the thorough
fare Is sadly In need OF repair. II Il
Also proposed 10 improve Bond and As
tor streets and to extend Commercial
street to the depot site. Exchang,
street. from Fourteenth 10 Seventeenth
will be placed in proper condition. The
only expense to the city in building
streets Is in constructing crossings ant
surveying.

from his talk that he is more than

OBSERVATION.

II Is astonishing the chances some
people win take In order to avoid the
trouble of walking a block or two out
of their way, Along the railroad tres
tie work on the city front. at almost
any hour of the day, people can be
seen walking from one street to an
other. The opening Of the railroad
through the old warehouses and across
various slips has proved a great con-
venience to those who find It necessary
to go from one part OF the city to an
other along the waterfront though in
utilizing this short cut pedestrians do
so at their own risk, the railroad COM
pany having long ago placed sign
boards at each crossing, warning people
to keep from the track Nothing short
of policeman, however, would have
amy effect on keeping the average man
from walking the railroad track.

II was a great day for Republicans
ana Americanisn along the river front
in Belmont county yesterday. The
Visit OF Senator Hanna, who was ac-
compenied by Grand Old Man" Dan
ford. developed the fact that the al
legged dissatisfaction among Republic
cans in the river front towns is myth
or has almost entirely disappeared. AT
all OF the five meetings during the
morning, afternoon and night the at
tendance was large and the enthusiasm
great. There IL no doubt but that Mr..
Hanna's plain. straightforward talks
made votes for his party. and those who
heard Captain Danford's speeches say
he excelled himself. The success OF the
days work in the river front towns has
dismayed the Popocratic managers, and
they are now engaged in a frantic eff
fort TO counteract it-are even now en-
gagged In an effort to bring HAS Been"
Bryan TO Belmont county next Mon
day. As Mr.. Hanna said in his
speeches, ne welcomes Bryan to the
state and Is curious TO learn how the
Nebraskan win sauirm out Of the false
prophesies he made last fall.
The two larger meetings OF the day
were at Martins Ferry and Bellaire at
night. At Martins Ferry not more
than one-third Of the crowd desiring to
hear Hanna could obtain admlttance to
the opera house. In Bellaire many
were turned away, the rink being en-
tireiy too small The efforts made by
delegation of'PopoOratic toughs, dis
tributed through the hail. to break up
both Weems ana Hanna proved unsuc-
cessful. and proved the worst kind of
boonerang-they show to what des-
pernte straits the Popocracy has come
10 In order to stem the tide that has set
in toward Republicsnlsm and continued
prosperity,
Senator Hanna and party left Bell
aire at midnight for Cincinnati.
