All the 1esscr titscs OF nobility have
become so common in New York that
even. a royal duke excites little more
than passing comrent; but a real
live, truly sworn and duly authentica-
ted king, living in New Jersey and do
ing business in an Office on Broadway,
is a good deal more interesting. This
is King Stephen Dusanovic. scion Of
the house OF Dusan, who during the
past two iears has organized about
him junta Of Servians, with smat-
tering Of Americans, which, with New
York as headquarters, has been work
ing actively for the overthrow OF King
Peter while awaiting favorable mo-
ment to return to Servia and claim
his own. II IL stated by certain Ser
yians mere that within three months
King Stephan has taken the oaths Of
Office as ruler of Servia, and that his
claims to the blood-stained throne OF
Alexander have been revived and
sanctioned by ecclesiastical authori-
ties in Servia. 1t is further said that
the government Of the United States
and all the governments OF Europe
have had their official attention called
to the fact that King Stephan Dusan-
ovic is the only lawful ruler Of Servia,
and that favorable answers have been
received from some Of the European
governments which have never recog-
nized the kingship of Peter Kara
georgevitch and have refused to be
represented at the Court of Belgrade.

Hotel Griffou was a resort for Cuban

hostlery in the city has numbered
among its guests so large a proportion
of well-known people. The walls OF

Justice Brewer Thinks il Can Regener-

NEW YORK, Feb. 19.--Justice Dav-

preme Court told the congregation in
the Broadway tabernacle yesterday tina
in his opinion religion was the princi-
pal factor by which the negroes Of the
South could be converted into valu-
able assets of the nation.
I'VE know that there is ignorance
criminality, and immortality among the
negroes" he said, and it remains with
us to change present conditions so that
the negro will become helpful factor
in our civilization and progress.
II believe there is a divine prof.
dence which will 50 shape our history
that the negro will be helpful factor
We must all assist In bringing about
this end. Industrial development

as the influence Of the cross Of Christ
and nothing will 50 move him to being

AsToRiA'S REASONS.

The tone of the Portland press of
Sunday and yesterday would indicate
that the City of Astoria is without
reason, or knowledge of its reason. in
fghting the Port of Columbia bill
This city has a just, fundamental,
vivid and logical reason for its conten-
tion. Astoria aspires to be seaport,
the seaport of the Columbia Basin.
We have lived through the better
part of a century of denial on this
score, but the hope is as eternal as
the imperishable predicate upon which
1t has been nourished; the natural, in
vincible, logical, unacceptable, basic
fact. that Astoria is at the gate Of
ocean and river, with a dual harbor
not excelled, in all the points Of con-
tiguity, expanse, depths, by even the
superb equipment of San Francisco
along this line. This is our primary
reason.
We are fighting Portland because
Portland has always fought us; and
by sheer force of numbers. wealth, in
fluence. has crushed us down and out
through all the years that have gone;
and is now putting forth her last and
most desperate scheme to make the
tremendous franchise perpetual.
Her tactics in the drafting and di-
recting Of this Infamous measure; her
underground, surreptitious, sneaking
course, at every stage of its manip-
ulation, shows her own undeniable
knowledge Of the chicane and dubious
craft of the measure.
The side-issues of ar-pilotage, riv-
er-pilotage and towage as between
the sea and Portland, are as nothing
to us, in the final scheme of endeavor
for our supremacy as THE PORT OF
THE NORTHWEST. So long as Port
land remains the port, those matters
are peculiarly her own care and we
care neither to assist, nor disparage
her efforts to correct what Of fault
or evil she may find.
We are fighting against the Port of
Columbia bill, because it assails our
primary premise Of being the only real
seaport on the Oregon coast; because
it was foregathered in the dark with
out a word of counsel or concurrence
being sought here; because 1t was
sneaked into the light Of day at Sa-
lem at an hours notice, thanks to the
manipulation Of too complacent
speaker, a more than complacent SER
geant-at-arm and a state-printer
whose commanding virtue in this re-
lation, at least, Is that he is of Multi
nomah; because the bill is direct in
vasion of the right Of the state to
direct and control issues Of this sort;
because it is in diametric contraven-
ton of the constitutional amendment
adopted In June last by the people Of
this state absolutely forbidding the
creation of commissions Of this sort;
because it is wholly, and essentially,
a Portland measure, in which neither
Clatsop nor Columbia counties have
an atom of interest nor chance Of real
ization of any sort whatever, except TO
pay the interest on the proposed bond
ed debt of 100000; because the es-
sence and fact of authority, direction,
revenue and prestige, inherent in the
measure is and will always be, OF
Portland; because, Clatsop county was
included, territorially, simply to en-
able the Portland authors of the bill
to 60 before the Legislature in ad-
missable guise, and DO what she could
not do alone; because, for ten years

THIEF COMES TO GRIEF
Embezzler Letten Arrested While .Contem-
plating Suicide--Spent Stolen Money
On Negro Woman.

Charles E. Letten, chief clerk in the
Office of the first district tax collec-
tor in New Orleans, who disappeared
few days ago, leaving a shortage
Of over one hundred thousand dollars,
was discovered and arrested Thursday
afternoon while standing on the bank
Of the Mississippi river attempting to
summon up courage enough to jump
in the water and commit suicide. He
said he had started toward the water
several times, but each time his cour-
age failed him. He made full con
fession.
Letten said, when carried befors
the inspector of police and the grand
jury, that he had spent the greater
part of the money he had taken on a
negro woman, who lives in a hand
somely furnished house in the old
French quarter Of the city, and who
is said to have bought considerable
quantities Of real estate. Letten says
the greater part of the money he had
given her had been Invested in realty,
only com paratively small amount
being devoted to her living expenses,
and keeping up the house in which
she lived
According to latest estimate made
as to Letten's shortage, he was about
S1O7 900 short in his accounts when
he disappeared In the meantime he
said he had been hiding in the weeds
along the river while the police OF
half dozen southern cities were care
fully watching every train and steam
boat.
Virginia Reed, the negress in the
case, was at once arrested and held
as a witness. An attempt will be
made to indict her as a principal III
the dedication Her will, a copy OF
which was obtained, showed that she
had made provision to give much OF
the stolen money to church and to
an orphanage. Letten had only SO
cents in his possession when arrested.

MILLIONAIRE GoURDAIN INSANE.
Goes Daft in Atlanta Pen and is Sent to
Asylum in Washington.

ASI luuu al w C4S1AAA4S
Louis A. Gourdain, the millionaire,
who lived for while in New Orleans
and then in Chicago, but more recent
ly an innate of the federal prison in
Atlanta was sent from the latter in
stitution Thursday to the government
asylum for the insane in Washing
ton. Accompanying Gourdain was
John Peterson, who also became in
sane while in the Atlanta federal pris-
on. Peterson was serving a sentence
for robbing the United States mails.
They made the trip to Washington
under the guard of a company Of fed
eral officers, headed by Deputy Mar
shall Rinard.
Louis A. Gourdain was o few years
ago tried on the charge of using the
United States mails for fraudulent pur-
noses. While his case was hanging fire
he came into sudden fame by his dec
laration that he would use a part OF
his great wealth in the erection Of a
private prison if the United States did
not provide him with one.
A short time afterwards he was sen
fenced and sent to prison a few
months ago, being transferred to the
Atlanta federal prison.
