Whereas. Thursday, the 14th day of
December, A. d. 1899, will be the CEN
temnial anniversary of the death OF
George Washington, whose deeds n
examples as soldier, statesman and citi-
zen have conduced more than those OF
any other one man to make the Ameri-
can nation what it is to-day; and,
Whereas, The anniversary of his birth
has for many years been recognized as
a public holiday, it only seems fitting
and proper that the anniversary Of the
death of this great patriot and states
man should be commemorated by our
people in a becoming manner, which
day many of the states have by law set
apart for public exercises commemorate
i've of his great services to the nation;

The Bank of England virtually admits
that it cannot draw from New York

London's net buying of stocks has been

This describes repetition CT finance

is searching for wool here at SO centa

$40 ton. A vast demand for both ma.

SALMON SEASON is OVER.
Conservative Estimate Places the Pack
at 100000 Cases.


Astoria, Aug. IL. Not more than
two-thirds the usual pack has been
caught and there is much dissatisfac-
ton among fishermen and cannerymcn.
Old fishermen and others familiar with
the industry say that the runs of sal.
mon are getting later each recurring
season, and the demand is universal
for change in the law which will
extend the season. Cannerymen say
the fish now entering the river are of
the best quality with every popularity
marking the salmon which in years
past constituted the main runs in the
latter part of June and the fist OF
July. They complain that the law
as it now stands is great injustice to
lower liver operators and serious in
jury to the industry. The fish now in
the river, it is said, will not reach
The Dalles and other upper river Sec
tions before the date for the opening
of the fall season, September 10, when
they will be caught in myriads by the
wheels, and canned in deteriorated
condition and sold as the best quality
Of Columbia river salmon. Thus, it
is said. the law tends in no way to pre-
serve the later runs from humiliation,
but actually hurts the trade for Column.
bia river salmon by forcing on the mar
ket product of exhausted and debili-
tated fish, unworthy to be sold under a
Columbia river label.
A painstaking and reliable estimate
made at late hour this evening,
places the pack at 276, 900 cases.

Portland, Aug. 12.-The Oregon vol
unteers came on three sections of a
Southern Pacific train yesterday after
noon, arriving at the Union depot at 4
o'clock. A little more than an hour
later, they had turned their tattered
colors over to the state on Multnomah
field, General Summers had given his
last command. and all that remained
of the most gallant command that
fought in the Philippines was scat.
tered three or four hundred bronzed
men in khaki suits.
Portland went wild in her enthus.
iasm. The soldiers would have known
that they we're home again had they
all been blndfolded. From the time
the train entered the city limits it was
assaulted with cheers on all sides. All
along theline from the time the train
entered the state like reception was
given the heroes of Luzon.
At the armory in the evening the
banquet rendered the volunteers by the
citizens of Portland, was made fitting
climax OF the occasion. Governor
Geer and prominent citizens spoke.
Brieadier~General Summers was pre-
sented with sword, gilt from his
fellow citizens.

MUTlNY ON A TRANSPORT.
Chinese Demand Extra Pay From the
GOvernm

Chinese Demand Extra Pay From the
Government.
Seattle, Aug. l2.-The trouble that
has been brewing on the United States
transport Victoria for several days cul-
minated in mutiny today. Nearly
60 of the Chinese crew were in open re-
bellion against the captain and his Off
GERS. A terrible battle appeared at one
time imminent. and was only avoided
by the cool nerve OF the ships first and
second officers, who stood in the face
Of the enraged Celestals with drawn
pistols. There was fighting for a
time, and the mutinOus Chinese fought
their way from between decks forward
up the companion ladder to the upper
deck and thence back to nearly amid
ships before their onrush was finally
stayed. Had it not been for the pres
ence on board the ship OF carpenters
and shipwrights, who were armed with
hatchets, hammers and saws. the Chi
nese might have won out.
The reason for the mutiny is more
money and shore leave on the part Of
the crew. The Chinese have found out
that they are to work for the United
States government, and they demand
extra pay Of - more month.
