NOT HELD IN M'CLURE's
HOUSE, As STATED.
j. q. A. Bowlby Describes L0ca.
tion Oftie First Hall Of jus
tlce Conducted Here.

The history Of We early day is Away
interesting TO both pioneers and TN
present day generation and 20 the fol
lowing letter. received at this office ye
terday. win be good as q review and 81
news to all:
To the Editor: In the New Years
edition Of The Astorian was pub
lished an interview with Robert s.
McEwan. In which he was +. port
ed assaying that the first court In
Astoria was held In the Mcclure
house. which stood on the present
site OF Bain's mill. As McCiure's
house never stood there and Me-
Kean's did. spoke to Nee ran
about the statement and he -epllad
that mis- memory was not very good
and thai II was probably 3IcKean's
house.
Mr.. y. G. Kindred is an carly
settler and he says ,he court was
held In the house as suggested
and that Mcclures was too snfall
for the purpose. Mexican was the
father of the .ats T. 4. Mexican.
Some months ago an interview
with g. s. simpson was published
In which he vas made to say that
the Mcclure house was near the
Odd Fellows hall.
Now, that was an open hay In
Mcclure's day and his log cabin
could not have been there. Mr..
Simpson gave the right direction
from his mill between the Cleve-
land bakery and the occIdent ho-
tel, but he did not estimate the dis
tance correctly. The Mcclure
house was between the Kirchoff
residence and the Baptist church.
These are small matters today.
bu. may be CT interest tomorrow.

an account OF savagery and brutality
that would seem TO belong to the dark
ages instead OF this practical cizilixe,l

azon arrived in Portland last Sunday
from China and from the reports OF the
sailors the men have been accorded
treatment hy the officers of the vessel
that has been harsh in the extreme.
Captain Aas and First Mate Emerson
are the Williams In the case and war;
rants have been sworn out for their
arrest.after formal complaint had been
made against them by the seamen. The
men wese careful not to tell their
troubles until they had been paid off
and got clear Of the clutches of the
brutes who had lordrd II over them
during the voyage, hut now Il is heliev-
ed that full justice will be done all par
ties. In speaking Of the affair, e.
Kirkoff, the principal complainant,
said "0n November 49, while was
at the wheel the first mate, Emerson,
struck me on the eye and Knocked me
down, We had had some words in the
early part Of the day, the mate calling
ma vile name. which resented. AZ
ter striking me he called up another
man, gave him the wheel, ana Captain
Aas ordered me down into the lazarette
After he had sent all the sailors up so
there would be no witnesses, Captain
Aas struck me, knocked me down and
whila l was down brutally kicked me
In the jaw. When was allowed TO
crawl upon deck, was so disilgured
and covered with blood that the other
men hardly recognized me, On the
night of December 12 Captain Aas, still
having grudge against me. called me
down from aloft and threw stick of
wood at me, striking and bruising my
arm. These attacks on me We're en-
tirely unprovoked."

 IL IS evident that for the present at least lead ing bulls are in absolute control of the situa- ton. They appear determined to apply the power they have acquired toward the promo ton Of their interests and the various develop ments, With few exceptions, have been encour- aging to that side. The question of the size or this crop Is still a puzzling question, and or itself contributes sufficient uncertainty to the situation, but 1t is said that the bulk of present receipts consists of grades below the tenderaple quality. which makes the problem or supply. especially as related to contract de- livery, more difficult. And now that the new crop has received further set back as a re- suit or unreasonable weather the risk of the seller has to outward appearances been con- siderably increased. These are the indications on the surface that are patent to any unbiased observer It remains to be if any serious change from this outlook is to occur as the season progresses.

 NEW YORK. April A-Next weeks market IS likely to present more interesting features than any thing that has developed this past week Tuesday will be notice day and very body interested in cotton in the local market IS anxious to know just how much the bull clique Will take or how much the holders in that option can stand. Of course 1t may turn out that shorts haven't the cotton to deliver and in this event the effect upon the mar ket could not be but decisive. But whether cotton is delivered and taken or not delivered and covered in the open market, the interest Will be just the same. For this reason deyeI- opments during the past few days are in the nature of past events with everything to look forward to next week. We cannot but feel that the bull crowd Is still long enough on May cotton to make trouble in this market Of course this may prove entirely contrary to ex- fsting facts, but there has been nothing in re- cent trading by the so-called New England changing our views. For this reason we would rather not undertake obligations in May or July and would only sell August on the most favorable advances. On the other hand the event of weakness in October we cannot but feel that there fs money to be made in pur- chases on weak spots. October today sold at S.63 or S.& and early in the week sold below, 6h cents. The crop is so late the spring so backward, the demands from consumers SO urgent and likely to continue until the new crop comes in and the visible supply so small near futures and almost cents under spot cotton Is very attractive position. Of course there is plenty of talk of cotton. But just look at the figures in comparison with 1900 when we ended the season with actual famine on both sides of the water
