The strategic importance OF selIlng POr-
to Rico has been the subject OF extended
oOmmen; ever since 1t became apparent
thai the forclble occupation OF spain's Is
land possessions was the only course that
seemed calculated to end the conflict and
bring Spain to terms Il is significant
that even those who opposed the annexa-
tion Of Hawaii are quick 20 concede the
necessity for the immediate requirement
Of Porto Rico. Among these is Senator
Thurston Of Nebraska, who opposed an
nexation in the Interest Of the beet sugar
industry Of his state. bot who declared in
a recent interview that Porto Rico Is the
mos, valuable to US. both from a CON-
mercial and a military poin, OF view. Of
an the islands in the West Indian group,
and that We should take 1t before peace
negotiations are inaugurated.

AsToRIA's FUTURE.

The farmers congress, which has just
come TO a successful close in this city,
has opened up the possibility Of new in
dustrles to the people of Clatsop County.
Heretofore our principal source Of rev.
enue has been the fishing business, from
which about 100000 a year IS derived.
Through the efforts of the best conducted
organization Of IT'S kind In the Northwest
the Astoria Progressive Commercial AS
sooiation, the supply Of salmon is to be
increased about fifty times, The price
Of canned FISH will thus be reduced, but
probably not more than % per cent Five
years hence the total value Of the sal
mon pack at Astoria may be over $4,000
900. OF this at least S,5OO,oO0 year will
go to people resident In the city. This in
itself is SUFFICIENT to sustain a town Of
5000 inhabitants,
Following out Its plan for the advance

IN THE SENATE.
Simon Was Seated and the President S
Message Was Read.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-In the opening
hours of the last.session of the memoir
able 55th congress the senate chamber
presented an animated scene. The gal
ler1es were filed early, many of the
spectators being visitors to Washington,
who had embraced the opportunity to
witness congressional opening. On the
senate floor the scene presented was un-
was the frat senator to enter the senate
chamber, and closely following him came
the octogenarian, Morrill, of Vermont.
One by one the members dropped into
the chamber the floor soon presenting a
scene as animated as that offered by
the galleries.
The roll call of the senate developed
the presence of sixty-seven members.
After the routine business Mcbride of
Oregon presented the credentials of his
newly elected colleague, Simon, to whom
the vice-president administered the oath
of Office. Pending the receipt of the
presidents message, the senate took a
recess of thirty minutes.
At ;25 the committee appointed to
wait upon the president reported the
performance of it's duties and an
nounced that the president would COM
municate with the senate in writing.
Scarcely had the report been made when
Pruden entered the chamber and pre-
sented the message.
Hobart laid the message before the

storm, which began yesterday, continued
all today with increasing violence, &C
companied by winds of almost gale We
locity. Shortly before midnight there
was clear sky. At it's maximum the
wind blew AZ miles an hour. The tele-
graph wires from this city south were
rendered almost useless on account of
the heavy winds. Trees, swinging signs
and chimneys were blown down, but no
great damage is known to have ensued.
A few dispatches received at the mari
time exchange told of a very severe
northeaster prevailing at Delaware
breakwater and other points along the
New Jersey coast. At many points the
tide rose to the highest point it has
reached in years. No disasters to yes
sells have yet been reported.
At Atlanta City great damage was
caused to wires, and the city is in COM
parative darkness tonight. Several pri-
vate residences on the Meadows were
completely surrounded by water, COM
ing to and from buildings.
Reports from Eastern Pennsylvania
indicate the prevalence of heavy winds
and rain, accompanied in some instances
by slight fall of snow.
At Shenandoah, where snow fell,
many small buildings on the outskirts
blew down. Telegraph communica-
ton was also crippled.
In the mining regions of Northeastern
Pennsylvania. the snow fall has in some
places reached a depth of six inches,
with no signs of abatement. Traffic has
been seriously impeded.

A GREAT FIRE
IN NEW YORK
More Than One Million Dollars Worth
of Property on Broadway De-
strOyed by the Flames.

New YORK, Dec. 5.-In a binding
rain storm tonight the massive block of
buildings on Broadway, Nos. 253 to 259.
and included between Murray and War
rem streets, was almost destroyed by
fire. Within three hours more than one
million dollars worth of property had
been destroyed.
The fire began in the five-story brick
building occupied by the mems furnish
ing firm of Rogers, Peet & Co., on the
southwest corner of Broadway and War
rem streets.
The estimate of the losses by Chief
Bonner after midnight was 81 100000
with a probability of a further loss
should the fire continue to make any
thing like rapid progress At that hour,
however, he believed he had the fire
about under control within reasonable
limits.
At 2 o'clock, however, it was still
burning fiercely in front, and although
not observable by tine thousands OF
epectotors, was burning more iercely and
extended lower down in the rear.
