Queen Inez Crowned.

Carnival week was formally
opened Wednesday afternoon,
with the royal parade and crown
ing Of Queen Inez. Thousands
ofpeople assembled along the line
of march and saluted the royal
party as their carriage passed.
The city was gaily decorated with
flags and evergreens and the "red
white and black"-colors emble-
matte of Woodcraft-were every
where in evidence.
The coronation exercises were
held in the main Pavilion at the
Carnival grounds. The Queen
elect was escorted to the throne
on the large elevated platform.
At either side sat her Maids of
Honor, Miss Peterson and Miss
Barclay, while her Pages, Master
Covell and Master Pritchard, sat
at the foot of the throne. When
all was ready for the coronation,
Lord Chamberlain John Allen
placed the crown on the Queens
brow, saying: 81 chtisten thee
Inez I, Queen of the Corvallis
Carnival.
Mayor Irvine presented the
keys of the city to Her Majesty,
and welcomed the visitors to Cor
wallis in a beautiful FIVE minute
address. This closed the coro-
nation ceremony, and the multi
tude cheered.
The Queen and her Maids were
handsomely gowned and graced
the positions they were called up
on to fill. Queen Inez bore her.
self with dignity, and her sub
ljects were proud OF the stately
lady they had chosen to rule dur
ing Carnival week.

THE BIG SHOW.
AS Seen by n Representative OF the Ca
zette During q Recent Visit

As we approached the Carnival
grounds we heard the bands play
ing, the lions roaring and the
merry. go-round. In fact, there
was something doiug every place.
Coming closer we sighted the
nine 6ne waterproof canvass pa
Yillions with their beautifully
striped side walls, Near the
main entrance we met the genial
pfopfie.ur, Mr., Arnold, and after
a few pleasant wefds with him,
vie passed the smiling faces of
the ticket SELLERS, and on into the
big Oriental Carnival. There
we saw on the main stage acts
excelled by none: The De Gar.
ros, the Roman ring experts; the
Victorellas, the triple-bar Won
ders. Their land-to. hand and
foot-to-foot balancing was i'm
rnense. Travola and the Doe
family fill important parts of the
show.
Prof. Homes monkey and dog
circus shows what may be ac-
complished by months Of hard
training. The dog performs
many new and exceedingly in
teresting acts. The trick cot
tage, hoop-rolling jugglers, aero
bats and numerous other attrac-
tions claimed our attention, but
by this time confetti was coming
on, and we passed into the Lor-
retta Vaudeville show. Here we
saw revelation in high class
vaudeville, the little ones display
ing skill, science and daring in
their mid-air gyrations.
The actors in the japanese
Theatre showed before royalty
18 months ago, in Toxic, Japan,
Their acts are new and their ex-
hibition is thrilling and marvel
Gus. --
The work that most astonishes
is done by Wallace's famous glass
blowers. 1t is a grand sight to
see the glass machines working
in full view.
Next we came to the Electric
Theatre. Scenes were depicted
upon a screen 15-feet square, as
clear and like as if they were
real, and all the great events of
late years were vididly shown.
The machine is Thos A. Edison's
very latest and the scenes are as
fine as any ever seen in Corvallis.
Now we looked up and found
we were in the plantation show
with Dick Robinson and his
troupe of sure.enough Southern
darkies. They give an enter
tainment of singing, ragtirne and
buck and wing dancing that is
not slow.
We spent about an hour in the
menagerie. Here were many
specimens of beasts of prey, and
after taking a number of snaps
with our kodak, we went into the
streets o fCairo, with the Hindoo
magicians, sword fighters, dane
ing girls. etc. This show will be
patronized by many.
We completed the afternoon
with a ride on the camel, Holy
Moses, trip on the merry-go-
round and swing on the ferris
wheel.

THE WEEK IN REALTY.
Not Lacking in Interesting Sales
RcUie1C of the Year.

/ While several excellent real estate transactions
were reported In the week just ended their num-
Der not nearly large as in the CORRESPONDING
week of last year. These few good deals however
attracted considerable attention. and one of them
the sale Of No. East sixty-second-st disclosed
the fact that the demands for property in the
choice Fifth-ave business and residential districts
were much better than they had been for long
time. It thought that there was at present
market for the best dwelling houses for sale
in the Fifth-ave. district but happily the faIsity
OF this assertion has been quickly shown by the
purchase of the Sixty-secoud-st. house by Daniel
J. SUly. the successful leader of the bull manpu-
laton in the cotton market.
The movements which disclosed in the
early part of the season showed in the last week
that they still much alive Unless there is
some unexpected activity IN the present week the
movements for which the year 1853 VIII be best re-
membered will probably be the extraordinary pur-
chases and the demands for fathouse and vacant

CALL HALT ON THE UNION.
Shiposcners and Masters IN Despair
Defend Themselves.
GOOD WAGES FOR ALL sEAMEN.

Like many other unions which have figured
prominently before the public this year. the At
lantic Coast seamens Union has brought things
10 the breaking point between employers and
employees. II was learned yesterday that sew
eraI shipowners and masters OF coastwise ves-
sells who had submitted to the union until Il
became evident that there was no limit IN sight
to its exactions have decided that the time had
arrived TO call halt in yielding to the unions
demands.
The owners and captains Of vessels consulted
informally. with the result that the American
seaznen's Federation has been formed. with
headquarters at No. 8 State-st This organiza-
ton takes in the captains. mates and crews OF
vessels engaged in coastwise traffic. and is de-
signed as a protection TO owners and captains
who may have the crews they engaged induced
not TO ship just when q vessel is about 70 sail
through some firnsy grievance put forward by
the union.
Fields Pendleton. president OF the Atlantici
Carriers Association. is the president and the
originator OF the new organization. The plan OF
the American Seamen's Federation provides for
the payment Of union wages. and does not dis
criminate between union and non-union men, It
provides. however, that merit must rule in pro-
motion. the most competent men to have the
best positions and be first in line 1t is also pro-
posed 10 eSlaDnSn an DOaGQ ana
nautical school for seamen.
President Pendletan of the federation said
yesterday in reference to the reasons for organ
izing the federation:
For some time there certainty WHEN the
captain OF a cOastWise vessel engaged crew OF
the crew going on board No one could say Tor an
hour what the union might do. At the last mo
ment some technical point might be raised which
might delay the vessel in sailing. The federation
was formed il order that a better and franker un:
Outstanding might exist between the masters OF
vessels and their crews. 1t is not fighting the
union any other body
Otto Won S. Peterson is manager Of the fed
GRAFTON, and his assistant. John Brown. has
been a sailor before the mast for many years.
Brown, when seen yesterday, said that the fed
Grafton had come 10 stay. He added:
Men sent by the unions have been hanging around
here. but. all the same have shipped nine crews
within the last day two at union wages, but not
dominated by the union. We have sometimes to
watch the men from the time they are engaged
until they board. Several emissarieS OF the
union followed a day two ago from
Safest until the members Of the crew were on
board vessel
Otto Parsons. walking delegate of the Atlantic
Coast Seamen's Union, said yesterday:
The federation is simply designed to fight the
union. Its promoters say they will pay union
wages, but their plan is by this 10 win over
all the union and then restore the conditions
existing before the union was organized
