OIL GETS INTO BOILERS.

WASHINGTON, Sept. l0.-The Louis
lana, designated as the "most modern
battleship," which is now undergoing
her Shaking down" process, has been
obliged 10 steam slowly because oil
gets into the boilers and causes trou-
bic. This condition Of affairs has af-
hicted number Of other vessels and al.
terations have been made in the ma
chinery to obviate the difficulty. 1t
seems curious that oil should get into
the boilers of a ship and the expIana.
ton is that the dynamo engines are re-
sponsible. These engines are run the
entire "a hours of the day and are lu.
bricated by a spray OF oil. This spray
gets mixed with the steam that is sent
in the condenser and thus returned to
the boilers, where it floats upon the
top of the water in a scum which se-
riously interferes with the main en-
gines of the ships.

Freshmen and Sophomores at Berkeley
Have Struggle.

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA.
Berkeley, Cal, Sept. l0--Thc attempt
OF the freshmen to hold their election
OF officers resulted in rush between
the sophomorcs and themselves, which
surpassed the one between the sopho-
mores and juniors at the organization
meeting OF the freshmen and the result
of which viii give the tailors and cloth,
ing establishments Of this place an un.
excelled trade Everything went along
quietly at the election until a delega'
tion Of sophomores swooped down on
the polls and gathered in the ballot box
after oyerpowerfng the few freshmen
present.
After carrying away the ballot box,
they pretended to count the votes and
posted the notice Of election on a bull
letin board by the south steps OF North
Hall. The freshmen resented this and
having by this time gathered a 7niIl-
cient force made n rush to rub it out.
The sophomorcs defended the board
Thus the trouble began but finally ran
into seeing which class could chalk their
numerals highest on the wall. The strug'
Ole TO get close to the wall was fierce
and became more so as other members
of the classes arrived. Finally 10
man was able with the assistance OF
his cassmen to climb a small tlNc
growing beside the wall Of the BUILT
ing and plant the 10 high above 'o''
The struggle continued some time long
re. but az the sophomores were unable
to place their numerals any higher, the
upperclassmen stepped in and separated
the two parties
The rush was witnessed by a large
number Of students Of both sexes but
none interfeIpd until both sides were
exhausted after struggling from 3 un-
til 4 p. m. Wearing apparel suffered
heavily, coats were torn, shirts were
torn into shreds, and hats and jewelry
lost. One man suffered the loss OF
both undershirt and outside shirt, but
getting vest and putting it on, he
again mixed.
At the close Of the rush both classes
gave their opponents a cheer, so that
there was no hard feeling manifested in
any way. No fighting was allowed or in
dulged in, and II was merely rough
house" in every sense Of the word, There
IL quite a rivalry between the sopho'
mores and freshies as to which is The
better class in mix.up, and as both
are large classes It is not improbable
that they may mix again in the fu
J ture.

BRYAN'S FOOTING.

Bryan is developing into frst-class
groucher, and is meeting the fate Of the
groucher. His footing on the treacher-
GUS summit of the Democratic pedestal
grows daily more insecure, and by the
time he returns from Australia he will
know what it is to walk the common
earth. He has already descended to the
notch of the political quarreler, a con-
dition fraught with dangerous faculties
for making superabundant enemies that
may prove inimical to lofty aspirations
such as his. The "big head" and the
"big stick can never govern with any
sort of amity; and for the first time in
his political history, Mr.. Bryan has
shown symptoms of haughtiness and in
tolerance, likely to badly impede his
progress to the chair at Washington SO
long coveted.

Will be amenable to widespread criti-
cism ii any grave mistakes are made;
and the sooner it gets down to business
and puts the best of its brains at work
on real administrative formula that
shall mean something and provide
something, the better.
There was never 50 propitious an hour
for the cardinal provisions of law that
are to build the greater Astoria, as pre-
walls right now. Astoria is in the path
Of very broad and wholesome develop
ment, and if she is relegated to the
rear, or moved aside, because she has
not the necessary legal right of initia-
tive, it will be her own fault and that
Of her charter makers.
1t is no sort OF an excuse to say, at
the moment OF disappointment, that this
or that element of organic power was
not put in the charter because there
was no apparent use for it, that it was
not foseen, was not even probable, as
an item of administration. A growing
city must have organic privileges in
reserve with which to meet the unex-
peeted in the course Of her growth and
expansion. and the commission will do
well to inject all the newest and most
modern terms Of enactment with which
the latest charters Of the land are brist-
ling, to meet, advantageously, every con-
tingency of municipal exploitation. and

last thing to be thought Of in the work ;

the public of Astoria in December. We
wish the commission every success and
