and the respective speakers were
heartily cheered, but for oratory,
Lawrence Dinneen, the l6-year-old
lad of the Astoria team, easily led as

Kidnapped chinese Woman--


A tong war has broken out among
the Chinese Of Portland and one Of
the incidents Of the trouble was the
kidnapping Of Chinese woman who
was brought to this city and con
ceaied. At an early hour yesterday
morning Police Officer Houghton
saw some men about TO put of in a
launch and their mysterious actions
and air Of secrecy aroused his sus-
picions, He arrested the men and
was astonished to find a woman
among them. She was attired in
mems garb. The little Chinese woman
was taken to the police station and
Is stiIl detained there. The men who
had her in the boat with them we're
evidently trying to spirit her away
but we're frustrated by the police Of
fcer A dispatch from Portland last
night stated that a tong war had
broken out there and that officers
were coming down TO Astoria after
the woman. Detective Price arrived
down on the evening train and will
leave up with his prisoner this morn
ing. The charge against him is grand
larceny.

senator scholield ExpIalns--

In letter TO this paper from Sena-
tor schol6eld he states that Il Is not
true he was in favor of Mr.. Mccuc's
house bill providing means whereby
one city could annex territory. IN a
story several days ago the Astorian
explained how this bill would favor
Seaside, and "that Senator scholfeld
would do battle for Il in the Senate"
The Astorian took its information on
this matter from the orcgoniau, and
Is now pleased 10 rectify the cron-
eous statement Says Senator Schol-
field; "How this idea got out that /
am in favor Of this bill Is more than
/ can tell" Evidently the corre-
spondents at Salem must have mis-.
understood his attitude. Senator
schoIfeld succeeded in having an adj
verse report from the committee to
which the bill was referred and stat
ed he expected to succeed in carry
ing out the adverse report Of the com
mittee.

Who WIN Be New Iudge--

Both the senate and house have
passed the bill creating new circuit
judgeship for the Fifth Judicial Cir
cult, and the bill provides that the
new Judge shall be appointed from
either Clatsop or Columbia counties.
Inasmeh as the bill carries no emer-
gency clause il will not become law
until after Governor Chamberlain
goes out OF Office, and hence the ap-
pointment seems certain to be made
by Mr.. Benson, now secretary Of
state and who viii succeed Chamber
lain as governor. That will give a
Republican governor, and other
things being equal, he is likely to
appoint Republican judge, II is
thought likely that the new Judge
will be from Astoria and the num-
Der Of possible candidates does not
seem to be very large, Several Of
the Astoria attorneys are looked up
on as men who would make most ex-
eellent material for the place, but it
| Is likely that one or more Of them
would not be quite willing to give
up their lucrative practices to take a
iudgeship, Just what figure politic1
will cut in the appointment is Of
course only problematical thus far.

The Man Who Eats.

The man who eats does so with
the expectation of being satisfied. To
this end he seeks the best possible
place to crafty his normal appetite at
most rational expense. These things
account for the steady stream Of
people to and from the portals Of the
Palace Restaurant in this city. The
reputation of the Palace is founded
immoveably upon the certainty and
amplitude OF the service it renders to
every purse, and appetite, big and
