gardless of race or nationality has
heartily united to extend a cordial

Thousands Of persons from all parts

The fleet will proceed past the lcper
settlement on the island of Molokai
to see the ships as they steam slowly
by. Soon after Molikai has been
dropped astern the warships should
come in sight of the crowds on Dia-

be the best ever.
Not only are the marine sports tc
be amphhed by some OF the leading
events and people engaged in making
worlds records in their particular
lines, but many new and novel attrac-
tions, afoat and ashore, are to be
introduced, and the whole program
expanded to point never before
known in regatta history.
The superb success OF the Scandi-
navian Sangerfest Of last year is to
be repeated and exceeded. All of the
societies constituting this splendid in
stitution have entered the lists and
their five hundred voices will be heard
in some of the most magnificent
work they have yet done in this
country; all the best of the soloists
and instrumentalists of the Northwest
are being negotiated for, and DR..
Emil Emma has been chosen to lead
the whole affair With such assur-
lnces Of success at hand, every As
-orian should work hard and late and
for the Regatta, and
make it, once for all, the prime
scheme Of entertainment and public
interest of the year.
The Astoria Regatta is becoming an
acknowledged fixture among the an
lual events OF the North Pacific |
country, and this years contribution |
o its history will fasten it perma-
lently and ineffaceably in the pleasant |
where it belongs.

WHITE HOUSE DICKER.

Brer' Bryan and Brer' Kern have
already divided the the White House.
Brer' Kern, he couldn't afford to run
for the vice-presidency and was
dubious of supporting the honor if
it did happen to fall to him on the
score OF his income. so Brer' Bryan
placates him, and promises to whack
ZIP the national home in the pleasant
event they are elected; all of which
strikes us as being bit premature
and far-fetched. Suppose the great
commoner" runs up against the same

Astoria is not alone in this attitude
of bafied hope and retarded enter
prise; hundreds Of other communities
bear the same measure of disappoint-
ment and apparent defeat, and yet the
crisis comes to every place that has
distinct and plausible claim upon the
play Of commerce and business de-
velopment, and sooner, or later, the
day of release and success dawns,
and always Unexpectedly.
From rhe moment it became a pub
lie fact that Astoria & Columbia Riv-
er Railroad had passed into the
hands of the Hill interests, new
sense OF opportunity and promise has
possessed every thinking man in the
community; and that we have not
realized anything OF. pronounced and
staple value to date, does not elimi-
nate the ultimate and exact sum OF
local benefit that is to accrue to usI
whcn the hidden objective of that
purchase is attained and manifested.
We are the victims OF our own
aren't and fallible guesses half the
time, and we grow censorious of the
blundering we do along these lines.
We cannot do Mr.. Hills planning, so
we indulge our own license in for
nlulating mol ons of what he ought to
do. and resent his failure to follow
our bent Impatience Of these home
wrought tlisappointments is unseemly.
For what we can fathom from the
superficial viewpoint, the Hill people
are centering all their energies to
closing the gap between Pasco and
Spokane, on the North Bank" road
This is the cardinal thing with them
just now; all other points and mat
ters are held in subservience. Once
this is accomplished James J. Hill,
president and owner of the Great

ent line, direct from Milwaukee to
Astoria and the sea.
1t is said this gap will be closed by
the first Of the year, or by March
neHt Then perhaps we shall begin
to realize that we are not quite out
of the running; that the brain that
has devised this independent system
of overland transportation has other
potent plans for the terminals Of such
a line; that he has done other think
in gtaht we know of and that AS
toria has figured larger than even we
hoped; that he has hedged against
defeat and change and mischance and
made himself secure and invulnerable
in the shifting manipulation of
railway control and direction. We
have rational ground for rational
hope yet, and it may be we'll to exer-
else our patience for all it is worth,

and Chickamauga.

There are a number Of simple markers
in the country roundabout, but the au-
thorfty for and accuracy Of several Of
these might be questioned In an open
field may be seen a crudely painted sign
board with this legend: Gen Grant and
Gen. Lee met here" 1t is safe to say
that Grant and Lee did not meet there.
The spot where Gen. Grants letter
bearer, Col. Orville E. Babcock, found
Lee reclining by the roadside under an
apple tree is marked. This was the only
foundation for the story Of the Appomat-
tox apple tree. Lee and Grant did not
meet until they saw each other in the
parlor Of the Mclean house. The con-
ference lasted from l: 80 until O'Clock
and it is not recorded that Lee and Grant
met again at Appomattox. The site of
Grants tent, between the time of the
surrender and the parole of the Confed-
crate troops, is marked by tulip pop
lar tree, and the site of Lees headquar-
tiers is marked by small signboard.
