Boston Opera Company Concludes It's
Engagement IN Astoria.

The closing performance Of the Bos-

engagement here and the success OF
this company VIII undoubtedly induce
other 1rst-class companies to visit here.

anything but the best.

faults but little ones, such as the cut

was a creditable performance and was
enjoyed By the audience, who testified
their appreciation By frequent ap-
plause. The costumes were in good
taste and much liner than those usually
carried by the smaller opera compan-
les.
The music of "Boccaccio" gives the
chorus great opportunity and in chorus
work the Boston company is heard at
its best. The orchestra last night was

THE FISHING SITUATION.
Boats Come In with Small Catches.
as Was Expected.

While the catch OF Ash during the
part forty-eight hours, up to o'clock
last night, was smaller than that OF
previous days. still the fishermen were
by no means discouraged.
The price fixed by the Fishermen's
Union ut Q cents as a minimum, has
been strictly adhered to. except In a
few cases where exceptionally fine fish
have been caught and then better
pIice has been paid for special ship
ments.
This does not argue. however. that
there Is any contest between the can
ners and the cold storage people in
regard to the purchase OF fish. On the
contrary the cold storage people are
adhering more strictly this year to the
fixed price than ever before.
While. as stated. the fish now being
caught are small In size they are Of
unusually fine quality and the Gamers
expect to raise the reputation OF the
Astoria pack In no small degree by
the spring output OF 1900. Indeed the
fish now being canned are by far the
finest ever sent from the canneries.
When the run OF Chinook starts In.
which will probably be in a few days.
the fishermen expect a voluntary raise
In prices on the part OF the buyers.
This viii undoubtedly occur but there
win be no contest among the buyers,
other than in the natural course Of
trade All talk OF combinations be-
tween Gamers and cold storage people
to hold the maximum price down to
any certain figure is moonshine. The
quantity and quality OF the catch viii
regulate prices, based upon the mini
mum OF cents fixed by the fisher
men.
Both buyers and fishermen seem con-
tent with the present outlook.
The fish wheels on the upper river
Il is said. have so far for this sea-
son proven failure.
Reports of illegal fishing in the
Clackamas river, where the hatcher
les are situated, continues to come in
and the state authorities. so far as
visible action is concerned, seem to
be putting the on file.

A WILD STORY.
Reports Of Theft of Boat and Net
Develop Into Nothing.

There was a wild story afioat yes
terduy Of the stealing of q fisherman's
boat and outfit from Fishers dock and
many were the comments as TO the
want of protection guaranteed along
the waterfront.
This Is the true story. A fisherman.
namad A. Fisher, from BroolSield can
merry, came to Astoria Wednesday
night In his boat, loaded with net, ETC.,
to get some supplies. He tied his boat
up at Fisher Bros. wharf, bought $50
worth of provisions, which he put
aboard and then went up town to get
his supper.
His boat worked loose from its
mornings and drifted away and was
found on the beach yesterday morning
near the iFishermen's Union cannery.

no steal or attempt to steal in the
affair. G HaA @aesaa tH gN5, afnf2

THE LACEY INCIDENT.
School Directors and Mr.. Lacey Dis
agree on Material Points.

That the publication in the Astorian
of Mr.. Lacey's statement regarding the
injuries sustained by his little daugh-
ter at the Olney school would create
a sensation throughout the city was
a foregone conclusion. The matter
was taken up by members Of the school
directorate yesterday and fully inves-
tigated, eliminating in a meeting Of
Directors Fulton and Higgins, Mr.. La
cey and the managing editor of the
Astorian in the Astorian office last
night.
Mr.. Lacey stated that the Astorlan
had quoted him correctly in his refer
ence to the occurrence and took occa-
sion to reiterate his charges of mis-
conduct on the part of the older boys
of the school, adding some particulars
OF other offenses than those published.
Mr. Fulton insisted that Mr.. Lacey
had based his charges purely upon the
unsupported statements of a couple of
pupils attending the school, at the same
time drawing largely upon his imagi-
nation. In proof Of which he called
Mr.. Laceys attention to the fact that
on his first investigation Of the af-
fair, in the presence Of the teacher
and pupils of the school, he admitted
that the little girl was struck through
accident and absolved the boy in ques-
tion from any Intentional harm.
This statement was not denied by Mr..
Lacey nor was the fact, of which he
was reminded. that shortly after the
trouble. in an interview with Mr., Hig-
gins, he lacey had expressed him
self as entirely satisfied with his in
vestigation. In reply to this Mr.. La
cey simply said that subsequent refiec-
tion and investigation had convinced

This mental picture Is inspired by the
situation which win confront the "citi-

In this city tomorrow for the purpose
OF nominating n county ticket. II is
true that stories have been told In the
scriptures about the doclllty Of GER

who decided 20 abide In peace. but
this has nothing to do with the "citl-
gems" War is on and the atmosphere
Is surcharged with sulphur and brim-
stone.
Il all comes about In this way:
Both the democrats and the ''citl-
zens' have ticket. Each will in
sist upon the nomination Of their re-
spective candidates.
This can't be done.
And there's the rub.
One faction has issued an ultima
tum TO the effect that II the Curtis
crowd will not insist upon the nomi-
nation OF Curtis for the legislature.
they win endorse Harry wherily, the
republican nominee and present incum-
bent. for county clerk. II the Curtis
crowd" refuse TO turn their man down.
Wherity will be ignored and some other
candidate-probably Duncan Stewart
Will be nominated TO run against him.
At the present moment neither faction
win yield point. and the indications
are that the decision OF the convention
will be necessary TO settle the contro-
versy.
The democratic legislative ticket in
cludes the names OF o. l. Peterson.
John Hahn and Percy Soyey. For
sheriff no one but "corky" Hansen is
mentioned. and Charlie Mathena stands
without opposition for the coronership.
The "cltizens''-so the slate reads
are standing for C. j. Curtis for the
legislature No other name is men
toned save that Of BILLY" Welch. in
connection with the office. and neither
the "citl=ens" nor Billy" himself. are
treating the matter seriously. "Corky"
Hansen comes in once more for sheriff.
and, as far as the clerkship is con-
cerned. the name Of BILLY" Pohl. the
coroner, Is being mentioned in an un-
dertone. Pohl's candidacy. however,
is suggested merely as a remote
penalty to be imposed in the event Of
the nomination Of the 'invulnerable C.
j." For coroner, Charlie Mathena
once more comes in with his banner
