This fiery crater. now suddenly silent.
vas explored by scientific men who
discovered that the cone had disap-
peared. Several theories are propound-
ed as to why the eruption ceased, also
regarding the disappearance Of the
cone. The general belief Is that It was
due 10 subsistence. and which Is look
ed upon as providential. It was as
unexpected as are the stomach disor-
ders with which people suddenly find
themselves afflicted. Slight symptoms
are neglected, until dyspepsia is enron
ic. The remedy to take is Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. This valuable medi-
cine is unequalled in all cases Of con-
stipation. Indigestion. blliousness, or
malaria, fever and ague. 1t brings
about a healthy condition Of the bow
els. and improves the appetite. Be
sure to give 1t a trial.

OUR FLOUR IN CHINA.
Eject OF the Prevailing Difficulties on
Shipments From the North
west.

Just what effect the trouble in Chi
ma will have upon the shipments Of
-four from Astoria and points on tile
Sound is more or less problematical.
Men who have long been engaged in
the Oriental trade differ in opinion. A
very comprehensive and reasonable
view OF the situation is expressed by
w. S. Byers. proprietor Of the PEN
dleton Flour Mills. who has been an
extensive shipper OF -four to Hong
Kong. Yokohama, Kobe and other
Oriental ports for several years past
Mr.. Byers is quoted at considerable
length in the Daily East oregonian Of
Pendleton. The conflict. in his opinion.
is reasonably certain in the end TO op-
crate to the benefit Of the Pacific coast
farmer, The bulk OF the ilour trade
is through Hong Kong. and since Eng
land owns that port to all intents and
purposes. there is little danger that
we win be cut off from a share in
whatever trade is carried on.
Let 1t be understood that the flour
now consumed in the Oriental countries
is used nearly all by the American and
European residents who have gone
given an even chance with other coun-
interview. But little is yet used by
the natives. This being the case, it is
necessary only that the seaports be
kept open to insure the retention Of
the flour trade with but little decrease.
Then, in the event of the Chinese
Empire being dismembered and the
various powers taking each a portion,
IL is Inevitable that our opportunities
will be vastly more in that quarter Of
the globe, both In the flour trade and
also in all lines Of commercial endea-
vor. We on the coast are situated so
as to command the flour trade by being
there to i've" says Mr.. Byers. in his
tries, for we are nearest and distance
Is one Of the determining elements in
the problem there. as 1t is anywhere
else when transportation enters into the
question"
Mr.. Byers adds to the above state
ment that whenever wheat goes above
fifty cents a bushel here on the coast
it knocks out the Oriental -four trade.

MUsT 90 ApoARp HERE.



The attempts on the part Of the Port.
land people 70 have the cruiser PhilA-
1elDhla receive the naval reserve At
that city instead Of at Astoria. have
proven a failure. The government Of
.hcIals evidently can see no reason why
one Of its war vessels should run 100
miles inland to pick up the naval re-
serve boys. who can reach the mouth
Of the river in less than five hours by
rail at cost Of twenty-five cents each.
The Evening Telegram last night
published the following article on the
matter;
"Adjutant- General Gantenbein. OF the
Oregon National Guard. received teie-
gram from Captain w. w. Mead, COM
mander Of the cruiser Philadelphia. this
morning. stating that the cruiser would
not come to Portland TO receive the
naval reserve for It's annual cruise.
Captain Mead's orders are positive. and.
as an appeal to the secretary OF the
navy Will be Of no effect, the officers
Of the reserve have decided TO have
their men IN Astoria. the port selected,
Saturday morning. the day appointed
for departure.
THE nature Of Captain Mead's orders
Is not known. Il Is supposed. however,
that II Is the wish Of the navy de-
partment 10 give the reserve a full
weeks practice az sea-something that
could not be obtained II the Philadel-
phia came 10 Portland. Making the
trip from Astoria up and back would
consume a full day. while only six
hours would be necessary for the boys
70 make the run 10 Astoria by rail-.

more than 100 men for the cruise. Re-

Efforts Being Made 70 Change the
Time for Holding the Regatta.

Time Tor HoldlnR the heBatta.
The impression IL general through
out the city that the dates for hold
Ing the regatta, as announced by
Chairman stockton OF the executive
committee. are at least a week too ear
~. Nobody believes for an instant
that the regatta WIN not be a great
success even though II be held on the
i3th. 18th and 18th OF August. but
nearly every citizen who has had
anything to do with Astoria's regattas
In the past is Of the opinion that the
event would be a greater success in
every way II il were 70 be held week
or so later.
One OF the arguments set forth in
support Of an extension OF time is that
the fishing season closes on the 18th and
many OF the fishermen. who usually
take an important part in the boat
races. cannot prepare for the contests
as they win be busy with their nets
until the close OF the day on which the
regatta viii close. Another argument
Is that the first part OF the week is
not as good as the last days for any
kind Of event calculated TO attract peo-
pie from abroad.
The members Of the regatta press
committee interviewed a large number
OF local business men yesterday and
found the sentiment unanimous In IA
vor OF changing the dates to the 2sd.
2lth and 26th. Last evening the COM
mittee sent a Dispatch 70 Chairman
Stockton. who Is attending the A. o. U.
w. grand lodge at Salem. as follows:
Local public sentiment Is unanimous
that the dates for holding. the regatta
should be changed 10 August %. "a and
IS. This Ia the result OF investigation
by press committee"
A reply from Chairman stockton is
expected some time today.
There Is some question as to whether
the press committee can succeed In se-
curing the editorial Convention TO meet
here during regatta week. AT the last
meeting OF the association It was agreed
to hold this years convention at ASH
land. The date to be fixed by the ex-
ecutive committee. 1t is believed tbat
a large majority Of the members Of
the association are in favor Of Asto-
ria as the place for holding the conven-
,lon, because OF the congenial climate
and the regatta. but 1t is doubtful II a
change can be made at this late date.
