TALKS WITH TRAVELLERS

About the only English officer Of
the first lighting contingent who has
not met defeat" said b. L. Hudson,
OF Cleveland, at a local hotel yesterday,
'is Major General ], d. p. French. He
won first at Elandslaagte, and has
more than held his own since. French,
who is now forty-six years old, is the
son Of a naval officer, and himself en-
tered the navy. rising to the rank of
lieutenant, when he gave up sailing
the waters blue and cast his lot with
the army, entering the 10th Hussars,
serving with his regiment in Lord
Wolssley's Nile expedition in 1SS4-S5,
He was at the fight af Abu Klea, and
was mentioned in the dispatches for
the part he took in the battle of Me-
temneh. For his services in the cam
paign he received a medal and clasp
and the kedhive's star. General
French so a friend told me- still looks
the sailorman and not at all the beau
ideal cavalryman one would expect to
find him, for he is ruddy, stout and
short, standing only about 8 feet and
inches. He is thick set, has brown hair
and heavy mustache, and his eyes
are of deep blue. He Is very popular
with his men; they will do any and all
things he wishes.
General Hector Mcdonald, or Fight
ing Mac. as he is popularity called, is
a man who has risen from the ranks,
and who owes his present high COM
mand solely to his own abilities as a
soldier. The son of a Rosshire crofter,
Macdonald was originally set at work
in the millinery trade, but he was not
fitted for 1t, and soon turned to his nat
ural avocation, enlisting In the 92d, the
famous Gordon regiment 1t was while
with the Gordons that Macdonald won
the Victoria Cross, or rather the offer
OF II, the alternative being a commits
sion, which latter he wisely chose. His
ascent of the ladder has since been
steady.

ELECTRICITY IS LIFE.

1t has been demonstrated that an
animal killed by electricity may be
brought to life, An ordinary current
does not produce instant death, and if
it were possible TO have in readiness
suitable apparatus, consciousness could
be restored by the Infusion of deflbrin-
ated blood. In like manner Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters, the well known
tonic, infuses life into debllitated bod
les, by revitalizing and purifying the
blood This wonderful medicine per-
meates and distributes nutritive mater
ial to every part of the body. If its
quality or circulation is deranged,
trouble follows. Constipation, dyspep-
sia, liver and kidney disorders all
spring from weak condition Of the
digestive organs, which affects thu
blood, and through it the entire body.
The Bitters cures all such disorders
and is an excellent spring tonic.

Chairman Board OF Directors.

The Astorian gladly gives space to
the above official communication from
Chairman Fulton of the school board,
with the hope that it may satisiacto-
rily close an unpleasant Incident which,
1t is to be feared, has been already
unduly exploited. Jusdce impels the
statement that the matter mas been
thoroughly investigated by the board
and the original version OF the aftair as
published in the Astonan turns out 10
De entirely untounded. MIR. Lacey was
probably sincere in his Indignation.
Carried away by the natural Keeling OF
a parent under such circumstances he
nastened to furnish the Astorian with
details relating to the INJURY OF his
child which the facts in the case do
not corroborate. That he should re-
sort to denunciatory reflections upon
the scholars, teachers and directors OF
the school was, perhaps, not unreason-
able The evidence, however, certain
ly bears out Mr.. Fultons statements
as to the occurrence. and the Astorian
regards it as a duty to the public as
well as to all parties Immediately con-
cerned to LAY before its readers, with
Mr.. Fulton's communication, the ex-
planation here given.

THE oLNEY SCHOOL AFFAIR.
Director Fulton Makes a Statement as
10 the Facts in the Case.

ASTORIA. April 2O.--Editor Of the
Astorian: Yesterday morning there
appeared In the Astorlan an article
giving very unfair account Of an ac-
cident which occurred the day prior at
the olney school Of this city. whereby
little daughter Of Mr.. Lacey Of this
city vas slightly injured. The article
was headed. "a Hoodlum at the Olney
School Brutally Beats a Little Girl
and In the body Of the article Il was
stated that the girl was brutally
beaten by a young hoodlum who is
attending the school" and that she
was taken 10 her home In terrible
condition, her nose having been brok-
en-" and she was found in the base
ment shortly after the assault in a
dazed and bleeding condition." and,
ilnally, this is one Of several com
plants OF atrocities Of this nature that
has cOme from the olney school. That
there Is gang Of hoodlums attending
the school who should be either ex-
PEELED or subjugated Is manifest"
Now. not to speak unkindly. but can
didly. the only element Of truth in the
statement is this: the girl was slightly
hurt while at play. She was not as
saulted. Her nose was not broken. She
was not found In the basement In
dazed condition or at all, but, on the
contrary. after the accident, she walked
up into the school room. The facts
are as follows: The young hoodlum"
Is a boy about nine or ten years Of
age and as manly a little fellow as
will be found in the city. He was
playing with a stick and a rubber ball;
bouncing the ball and striking 1t with
the stick The girl was behind him
and as he drew the stick back to strike
at the ball. the little girl ran too close
TO him and, unfortunately. the stick
struck her. The blow was severe and
painful. II Is true. but Is was such an
accident as is liable to happen at any
time when children meet at play, at
home as Well as at school.
One OF the teachers had been with
the children in the playrOom up to
within few seconds before the acci-
dent occurred. and had just stepped
out TO ring the bell. but the above
facts are subsiantiated by every child
in the playroom who witnessed the
occurrence, and there were several. Mr..
Lacey was present when Miss Holden.
the principal. investigated the matter
and stated TO her that he was satisfied
IL was purely an accident, and he sub
sequently made the same statement to
Director Higgins.
The article did great injustice to the
teachers and pupils OF the Olney school.
IL other complaints Of atrocities Of
this nature" have been made. 1t seems
strange no member Of the board Of
directors has ever heard Of them. Ger
tain II is there has been no such occur
renee as that charged at any time at
the Olney school. 1t is also unfair to
the pupils to say there is a gang Of
noodlums attending the school" The
statement is both untrue and unklnd.
The children OF the Olney scnool Will
compare favorably with the children
OF any school in the state as to intel
lgence, morals and department.
C. w. FULTON,
Chairman Board OF Directors.

SEA LIONS TEAR THE NETS.
Misfortune Which Besets the Fisher
men on the Lower Columbia.

Misfortune Which Besets the Fisher
men on the Lower Columbia
As stated In the Astorian some few
weeks ago. a large number OF seals
and sea lions have been freQuenting the
waters OF the ocean just outside the
bar Rut little attention has been
paid to the seals until now. but now the
seals. and especially the sea lions. are
causing no end OF trouble and damage
to fishing.
The sea Hons rush into the fisher
mems nets In their pursuit OF salmon
and. once entangled In a net, they are
worse than bull In q China shop"
when II comes to breaking things. The
sea lions not only tear their way out
OF the ne;s-cuttlng holes. hard to
patch-but. by their furry and strug-
gle. soaring the fish away for hundreds
OF yards around them.
II is said the sea lions can be fright
ened from the fishing grounds by
concerted action OF the fishermen. all
moving their boats at once into one
locality and thus driving them Off.
This remedy. II is understood will be
tried. As II is. much valuable time
is being lost every day by fishermen
mending the sea lion holes" In their
nets. TO cay nothing of the cost Of
rips and tears in the valuable netting.
To date In the nelghborhood OF GOO un-
ion fishermen have been registered and
gone out to work, and It is expected
the number will reach the 1000 mark
by the first of May. The catch Is
running fairly well. In fact, 1t is away
beyond the catch for April Of any Of
the three previous years, prior to 1900.
Every boat brings in from Ave to as
high as twenty fish at each haul Of
the net, and the fish average twenty
pounds in weight apiece. Taking the
minimum catch and figuring it at six
cents per pound, the minimum price,
the fishermen, making at least two
hauls of the net each day, are earn
ing fair wage.
The seiners report II to be too carly for
their business and but few seins are
out. 1t Is reported that the fish traps
up the river and now doing fairly
well.
The Union COOPERATIVE cannery has
some sixty boats out now and expects
to increase this number by one-half
during the coming week, So far, the
cannery reports business as unusual
ly good for the April season."
None of the cannerles worked full
time yesterday but they will all be
busy today, the afternoon and night
catch being very good.
The general situation was clearly
expressed yesterday by a fisherman,
who said:
1--WE are not doing wonders in the
way of taking fish, but we are doing
about twice as much as we expected
to do, and that is enough. The CHI
hooks are coming in rapidly and the
fish caught are consequently increas-
ing In size and weight. 1t can be
said that the season, so far, is salts
factory.
