ITo's PREDICTION.
What The Japana,e Statesman Told
A California Congressman.

NEW YORK, Sept. l5-Congress-
man Mckinley OF California, in an ad-
dress at the Metropolitan Temple told
of conversation he had with Mar
quis Ito Of Japan three years ago, in
which the marquis predicted the awak-
ening of Asiatics and Japanese in par
ticular, along manufacturing and 9TH
er industrial lines and foreshadowed
the competition in manufacturing the
goods which Japan would one day
give the United States. That predic-
ton, the congressman declared had
come to pass and already the country
is beginning to feel the effect OF the
labor of Japan and other Asiatic coun-
tries.
u don't see why you people Of the
United States object to the coming Of
Japanese labor to your shores" OBJ
served the marquis to me" said Con-
gressman Mckinley. "We can spare
you millions and China can spare You
more. They are the most docile and
adaptable people in the world. It
seems to me that if you fill your fac
tories with our laborers you could,
soon undersell all the nations Of Eu-
rope"
In reply to this the congressman
told the marquis that he was looking
at the matter only from Japanese
standpoint

ASK RATE REHEARING.
Missouri River Case Decision Does

CHICAGO, Sept l5.--Attorneys Of
the railroads affected by the Missou-

Commerce Commission met yester-
day to draw petition for rehearing
of the case. The order Of the COM

the Atlantic Seaboard to Kansas City

will be made to bring about post

order pending a re-hearing.
The decision, which was rendered
two months ago, deals a serious blow
at Chicago and St Louis commercial

125,Ooo TONS PER ANNUM.

A gentleman engaged in shipping,
in this city, and a good Astorian, has
suggested scheme whereby the com
mission that is to handle the sea-wall
of the city may attain to 125,000 tons
of clean dry filling per annum for
little, or no cost whatever; and the
proposition will be worth slowing
away till such time as it can be
brought into play, to the general good
of all in touch with it: Namely, to
take all the ballast that the 100 ships
per year bring to this port and which
is not wanted at Portland under any
circumstances, nor anywhere else
along the river than anyone knows Of
These hundred vessels, or more,
each carry from 1000 to 1900 tons of
rock, sand, gravel etc. making an easy
average of 1880 tons each, and the
stuff is rank burden to ship-master
and owner when the hour for new
cargoing arrives and is generally free
ly given away. Every ton of this
might be conserved at this port and
made to do ready duty upon the
known route of the sea-wall, wherever
it shall be, with proper facilities fur
nished the ship in the way of towage
to and from the line.
There has been cry sounding to
the Heavens for years past about
here for the solution Of the ballast
problem, and now the answer is fur
nished forth soundly and gratuitous-
ly and it only remains to those in
charge not to forget nor ignore the
proposition.

of the ultimate cost Of the PROPOSE
tion, as il is Of establishing fixed
and legal port status; Of being sharply
and distinctively in line for action
when such an attitude and such a
franchise shall need demonstration
in the preservation OF Astoria's natu-
raj and inherent characteristics in this
line.
She must not remain in the mega
tive and unguarded condition that has
prevailed all these long years; the
commercial people and creeds OF the
hour require that she shall be equipped
TO meet, legally, and aptly, the de-
mands, encroachments, issues, ven
lures and successes OF such fixed po-
sition and these things she cannot do
without the full and exact right that
goes with such organic plane and
place.
We hope that nothing may prevent
her final assumption of all that goes
to good port big port, and an al
round port, known and appreciated
in every land that has dealings with
the great Northwest of America. This
is the first step to such an end and
she has everything in the world to
amplify her claim and maintain the
new status.
The bill under question, with re-
sponsive and popular mandate behind
it, will make her safe from good
many things. in the way of infringe
ment and spoilation, she might not
meet successfully without, The mere
quality Of a lawful port will enhance
her rating in the commercial world,
even if nothing large or effective be
done in such behalf for years; and
she has a great deal to do when one
comes to think of it.

What course will it pursue to rem

What depths will it traverse, and

VIII it follow the pier-head, or har-

Will it be built OF piling and planks;
