| II Is altogether likely that there will
be built ZIP between Astoria and Fort
Stevens a very close relationship in
the near future caused by the origina-
ton in Astoria OF the new military
company.
Capt. I, S. Lamoreaux has express.
ed himself as being exceptionally in
terested in the Astoria military or
ganzation more than willing to as.
sist the officers OF the Astoria mill
tary company in every way he could
when their organization is perfected,
Under the new law passed BY the
last session OF Congress there will
be the closest possible afiiliation be-
tween the militia organized under it's
provisions and the officers and estab-
hshments of the regular army, The
members of these militia organiza-
tious so constructed will be available
for service in the regular army at any
time they are called upon 10 furnish
such service. Their equipment will
be Identical with that OF the regular
army, as also their code OF tactics.
Ii is extremely agreeable that there
should be closer relations between
the forts at the mouth OF the river
and the people OF Astoria ior more
reasons than one. 1t is probably
fact that as rule the ordinary citizen
does not know whether there are II.
inch guns at Fort Stevens or wheth-
er there are any guns of any other
size. When 70-odd OF the young men
OF Astoria shall have become familiar
with such details the relations be-
tween the people and the soldiers will
become much closer. As the channel
at the mouth OF the river is deepened,
as it must be, as the jetty construc-
tion is continued, the forts must be
enlarged and strengthened accord
ingly,
There are forty new recruits due to
arrive at Fort Stevens within few
days, which will considerably add to
the Importance Of that post in mill
tary as well as in a business sense.
The new barracks provide for 100
additional men and the 90 necessary
recruits to make up this 100 are de-
sired before the end Of the summer.
Target practice is now going on at
the fort and as soon as the local mill
tary organization is ready for in
structions of various kinds. Captain
Lamoreaux assures that he will do
all in his power towards that end.
1t is quite probable that when tar
get practice takes place next spring
the local military organization will
be interested from the standpoint OF
participation.

NEBRASKAN GOES ON
TO PORTLAND
MADURA LEAVES OUT FOR
CHINA PULITZER IN PORT
FOR SUPPLIES - OIL BARGE
NO. 8 COMES IN ON WAL
LULA OTHER MOVEMENTS.

The fine American Hawaiian steam
ship Nebraskan which came into this
port for partcargo OF salmon, would
have left here for San Francisco at
noon yesterday. but the live mer-
chants of Portland, rather than have
il said she entered the Columbia and
failed to come to that city, dug up
quite tonnage of grain for her and
summoned her there on a proposal to
absorb the river pilotage, and she left
up at l:30 yesterday, instead OF go
ing outward. 1t developed yester-
day that the bar pilots, who had
agreed to abate the bar pilot fees to
the Nebraskan, on the score of her
initial cargo trip into these waters,
and did so, refuse to go any further
in the promise, and will charge her
pilotage both ways over the bar
when she returns down. 1t seems
their association rules forbid the
abatement of the fixed rate for pilot
ing and they met the demand for a
showing of goodwill on her arrival
BY doing the better thing Of bringing
her in free, on the hypothesis that
she was going to make this port Of
call and in honor of the first call;
but her abandonment OF that phase
of the venture, absolves them, they
say, from any such concession. And
thus the matter stands for the pres
ent. Captain Harry Empkins took
her up the river.
Captain George Wood, of the bar
service, was to have gone out on the
steamship Nebraskan yesterday, had
she followed the program laid down
for her and sailed from here for the
Bay City; but her departure for
Portland negatived his purpose to
visit San Francisco and his son, DR..
Wood, for the Fourth, so he will
spend the National holiday at home.
The Standard Oil steamship Atlas
arrived off the bar yesterday noon
with Barge No. on her tow lines,
and signalled the bar tug Wallula to
take the latter into port. The Wal
lula picked up the fine tank-ship and
brought to the city channels, where
she was fastened onto by the river
steamer Diamond O., and taken on to
Portland.
The bar pilot schooner Joseph
Pulitzer entered port yesterday on a
quest for supplies; she is taking
them aboard at the O. R. & N. pier,
and will go back to her station some
time today.
The steamer Northland arrived

The following interesting account

establishment Of company OF the
National Guard at Dalles, in Polk
county, will undoubtedly be OF inter
est to the young men of Astoria who
are just about to establish company
here.-The organization OF Company
H, Of the Oregon National Guard,
was completed Thursday evening at
the Woodman Hall, when the young
men who had enlisted during the week
were formally mustered i'm by Adju-

First Lieutenant c. c. Mccormack,

to put the men through the physical
examination.
This work was carried on during
the whole of the following day, and
when General FINER arrived on the
evening train, full number Of 70 men
had been examined and passed
AT $50 O'Clock, Lieutenant r. w.
Holman, the enlisting officer, entered

NEW YORK. March 1.--Securities
4 markets last week were dull and inert
and were adjusting themselves to an
attitude of waiting for the development
of events to shape the future course OF
affairs. This was true not only In
New York, but in the great financial
centres abroad. At all these points
| there was discernible the, same ten
dency towards accumulation OF re-
serves in banking centres, and In all
cases the reason given for the accu-
mutation was shrinkage In trade ana
industrial activity, leaving lessened
demand for money for active use IN en-
l'terprises. In the United states the
effects OF the accumulation or reserves
are offset bv number OF causes. The
United States Treasury, partly inauced
by the current deficit in tho revenues.
has commenced to withdraw from the
national banks the deposits which
were placed with them as an emer-
gency measure during the financial
crisis. The national bank notes which
were issued in extraordinary volume
at the same time are going into rapid
retirement by deposit of lawful money
with the Treasury by the Issuing
banks,
Money Rate Higher.
These symptoms OF a contraction In
the needs OF the circulation are &C
complished by signs that interior banks
are disposed to keep up their reserves
to high level and to refrain from
re-deposit In the central reserve banks
to the extent allowed by the national
bank law.
The additional requirements Of TIE
New York trust companies in prepar-.
ing for the weekly statements OF con-
dition were another factor In taking up
the stack in the return flow OF money
to the reserve centres. Tho conse-
quence is that the plethoric money con-
ditions which were expected to follow
the subsistence of the panic have been
slow to develop. Interest rates on time
loans in New York have shown q hard
ening tendency during the week.
CnrtniIment of Expenses.
Another element in this course of the
money market was the discrimination
exercised against collateral offered for
loans. Some OF the industrial stocks
and railroad securities of companies
which have suffered from diminished
earnings are looked at askance by
money lenders. and add to the difficult
ties of borrowers The shrinkage of
profits and the diminution of earnings
applicable to payment. not only of
dividends, but of fixed charges, has
been conspicuous influence on special
securities in the open market. Cor
responding Importance is given to the
plans for curtailment of expenses to
meet the decline in earnings. The ques.
ton of wage reductions was given spe-
cial prominence.
The copper market showed improved
tone. lSailroad earnings showed no
pronounced bettermeut, and operations
in general trade were reported to be
on conservative lines. The sluggish
investment demand for bonds was con-
spicuous. and offered little encourage
ment for early success in the placing
of new capital issues. which are relied
upon to furnish resources for important
projects of extension under way.

BAPTIsTs RAISE MONEY

NORFOLK, March 1.-The personal
canvas on the part OF the Baptist pas
tors OF the city for the endowment
e ind of the Woman's College was
closed to-day in Norfolk. and the an
nouncement is made that the most
sanguine expectations of the promoters
will be exceeded. The proposition was
to raise 100000 In Norfolk for the coll
lege. and the total will go over the
$4,000 mark.
The liveliest kind of interest has
been manifested in the movement on
the part of the leaders of the denomi-
nation. and the gifts have been liberal
in the face of the fact that several OF
the local churches are known to be
burdened with debts and obligations
for other causes.
