THE MORKIKG OREGOSIAN, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1901. 10 A DOZEN SHIPS DUE Inbound Fleet Is Making a Long Passage. FOUR VESSELS UNINSURABLE Interesting: Testimony at the IUo de Janlero Victims Inquest Port land and Snn Francisco on Even. Terms on Freights. Iong passages for Inbound ships for this port continue to be tho rule, and unless some of the vessels now overdue at this port show up within a few days, there will bo another big list for the reinsurance speculators to plunge on. Tho Andrada, Hathdown, Bertha and Cape "Wrath are uninsurable and have been dropped from the list, but leaving these out of the question, and there Is nearly a dozen ships due or very close at hand, with a few of them from 10 days to throe weeks overdue. The worst case of this new overdue fleet is the For rest Hall, which Is 64 days out from Shanghai. The fact that this ship is one of the fastest sailers afloat gives more cause for uneasiness than would be the case If she was a slow vessel. The Gal gate, which never mode any pretentions toward speed, made the run from Shang hai in 27 days last Fall. The Comllebank Is out 40 days from Santa Rosalia, or two weeks longer than the average passages that have been made this season. The IDimsdale is out 87 days from Nagasaki, and the Khyber 34 days from Shanghai, and both are fully due. The Thirlmere, 90 days from Antofogasta, should have been hero a month ago. The Arthur Fit gcr is 29 days out from Yokohama and would bo a week behind the record if she arrived today. There are three ships about due from Hong Kong, the Astoria and tho Butshire, 43 days out, and the Swanhllda 40 days Out. The Dalblair and tho Kuthwell, which are coming up from the west coast, will be due in about 10 days. The Otto Glldemelster, which is out of the list of overdues by reason of her arrival at San Diego, is under charter to load at Portland, but will not reach here for sev eral weeks, as she will undergo extensive repairs before coming north. The Helga. ifrom Tslntau, is also believed to be due at this port, although her sailing date from the other side has not been, re ceived. FIXING THE RESPONSIBILITY. Coroner's Inquest on the Victims of the IUo Disaster. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 27. The Cor oner's inquest Into the deaths of those drowned in the wreck of the Pacific Mall steamer Rio de Janeiro, began today. The principal witnesses testifying today were Fred "W. Jordan, tho pilot; Gra ham Coghlan, second mate; Charles J. Holland, third mate, and R. P. Schwerin. general manager for the Pacific Mall S.teamshlp Company. Pilot Jordan told of the manner In which he ran the RIo upon tho Forf Point reef. Ho declared that his authority on board was subordinate to that of Captain 'Will lam Ward, the ship's master, and that he advised lying outside till the weather cleared. He defended the members of the Chinese crew and said they worked like machines. Incidentally giving an ex pression of gratitude for his personal res cue by a Chinaman. "On -whom do you lay the blame for th disaster?" he was asked. "We were carried on to the point by an unexpected swirl of the tide that could not have been foreseen. I blame the curronts and the improper signal at Fort Point, which is a bell you can't hear any distance at all. "Pilots, as a general rule, consider it a safe procedure to come in during the fog. I never considered it altogether safe. There Is danger of collision." "Was there on this morning any reason for venturing In during the fog? "Was tho ship in danger?" "Not at all. The Captain was anxious to get in, as he was overdue. The Cap tain did not use any argument except he said he thought it would clear up. I could see that he was anxious to get In, and I was anxious to please him." "When the pilot steps aboard a vessel, who takes command? What laws gov ern?" "There is nothing In the state law de claring who Is supremo, but we pilots always consider ourselves assistants to the master. The master never loses com mand of the ship. He can lay me off duty In a minute, oven though the ship were in the most perilous part of the channel. That law Is the rule all over tho world. "When I sent word to stop heaving, the Captain himself said, 'Let her go." He himself ordered up the anchor." The great loss of life was, in Pilot Jordan's opinion, due to the inability of the passengers to realize the danger. General Manager Schwerin testified: "Many Captains are more competent to steer In than are new pilots. But as the law imposes the pilots upon us and wo have to pay for their services, we let them do a part of the work. However, the Captain is always in command. Our Captains have strict orders not to bring ships In under conditions such as ex isted when the Rio sunk. We do not give written orders, as we cannot bind the men that hard." "How do you distribute the responsi bility, between these two men?" "I do not think that, had the pilot ad vised the Captain of danger. Captain Ward would have tried to come in." "Is there any penalty for being over due?" "No, sir; it was but little extra ex pense to us only the meals to passen gers. The orders to Captains are only to bring the ships Into port." "Why do you hire Chinese crews?" "We have to do It or go out of busi ness, owing to the competition of other lines which employ Chinese." Mr. Schwerin attributed the cause of the wreck to the tides. Second Officer Coghlan said: "The pilot gave tho order to heave up. When the men had been heaving for a short time the weather thickened and the pilot ordered the men to avast heaving. Ho then left the bridge. He reappeared in a few moments. He then gave the first officer orders to heave up. The Captain, who had been up and gone down again, did not give the order to the flrst officer. The pilot did that. The Captain came up after the anchor was hove up. It has been my experience in entering the harbor that the pilot issue the or ders, though I would not say that such cr'enj arc absolute." The Coroner's Jury returned their ver : t ton'ght. The jury charges Captain "V rI, who was drowned, and Pilot Jor " with criminal negligence. The Pa " Mail Steamship Company Is censured f j- having a Chinese crew on board. Sec- ' ' 'Ticer Graham Coghlan is commend . 'or his heroic conduct in saving lives. o; even terms. -i rrnncisco and Portland Freight Charter Rates Are the Same. e lack of foresight on the part of i n Francisco exporters, who failed to ioIde tonnage sufficient for their needs. 1 now having Its effect In very stiff cc an freight rates, at a time when a decline might be expected. The last charter made In the Bay City was that of a vessel of 2700 tons net register-at 3Ss Sd. Tho last charter at Portland was for a 1300-ton ship at 40 shillings, the Portland ship on account of her small size being worth In any market Is 3d more than the big one, which carries extra insurance. Under these circum stances, San Francisco will from now on set the pace on freights from the coast. The greater part of the ships that have been offering for North Pacific grain load ing recently have been from points down on the west coast of South Africa, and naturally these ships wlli not sail up past San Francisco to points several hun dred miles farther north at the same rate they will accept in San Francisco. Those coming across from the Orient in ballast will accept the same rates at Portland and San Francisco. WIJLAFA ON FIRE. Old Portland Steamer Has Narrow Escape From Destruction. VANCOUVER, B. C., Feb. 27. The steamer Willapa, which arrived today from the north, was on fire during her trip to this port. An attempt was made to beach her, but, fortunately, as it turned out, she was four miles from shore, and before she could be beached the fire was extinguished. Boon after the Willapa left Kltkatla, a case of turpentine, standing near the engine door became ignited. There were two coal oil cons, and they exploded, wrecking the dynamo and scattering the burning turpentine In all directions. The woodwork caught fire in a dozen places. The time was about midnight, and every light on the ship had gone out. In the darkness the passengers were aroused and taken on deck. The fire eeemlng to resist the efforts at its extinguishment, the Willapa was headed for shore, that no risk to the passengers might be taken. Meantime, however, the efforts of the crew to put out the Are were successful, and ship and cargo were saved. The damage is estimated at $5000. THE FAMOUS FLYER. Has Carried & Million Passengers . and Never Lost a Life. TACOMA, Feb. 27. The Portland-built steamer Flyer, which has been running on the Sound between Tacoma and Seattle for the past 10 years, tUthout the loss of a single day by reason of an accident, was laid off a couple of days last week by breaking one of the blades of her propeller by Btriklng a log while back ing away from the dock at Seattle. Last year the Flyer ran 313 days, and covered over 70.000 miles, a greater mile age than covered by any other steamer afloat. During tho 10 years the boat has been running, not a single life has been lost on her, nor a passenger or member of her crew injured, though in that time she has carried over 1,000,000 passengers, a record held by but few boats on this or any other coast. TJnknovrn Steamer Run Down. LONDON, Feb. 28. Early yesterday morning tho British steamer Chamois collided near Dewarp lightship, east of Yarmouth, with a steamer, name un known. The unidentified steamer sank and a boat which put off from her was swamped. A few of her crew scrambled on the Chamois. Four of the crew of the Chamois, while searching in a small boat for possible survivors, lost their ves sel, but reached the lightship, from which they were rescued. The Cha mois has not yet been heard from, and it Is feared that she may also have foun dered, which would make a total of prob ably something like 30 lives lost. Marine Notes. Three gangs of stevedores are at work on the big steamship Wllhelmina, and an effort will be made to finish her tonight. She will carry the largest cargo of wheat that ever left the Columbia River. Thick weather still prevails off the mouth of the river, and the only move made in shipping was the departure of the steamer Columbia for San Francisco. The British bark Zinlta, the only vessel that ever went ashore on the "terrible north coast" and escaped uninjured, ar rived at Puget Sound Monday after the fastest passage" on record from Acapulco. She made the run up in 26 days. Domestic and Foreign Ports. ASTORIA, Or., Feb. 27. Sailed, at 9 A. M.. steamer Columbia, for San Francisco. Condition of the bar at 5 P.

RECOVERED FROM MINE BODIES OF VICTIMS OF "WYOMING HORROR BROUGHT UP. Appearances Indicated They Had Died From Suffocation The Mine Still B Brains' XEMMERBR, Wyo., Feb. 27. An im provised morgue at the mouth of the Dlamondville mine this morning showed eight corpses stretched side by side on a rug on the platform. All night the relief shifts had fought back gas at the entry, and, like ghosts, had pursued .their ghast ly work of securing the dead. All night Superintendent Sneddon led his men up to the jaws of death, nor did he stop un til the first bodies were brought to the surface. Then, from sheer exhaustion, he was compelled to withdraw, only to re turn after four hours and again bury him self in the depths. At 4 o'clock this morning word came to the surface that four bodies had been encountered on the seventh level, and a few minutes later they were brought up. The men had all fallen face downward NEW POSTMASTER OF DALLAS. CHESTER GILBERT COAD. DALLAS, Or.. Feb. 27. Chester Gilbert Coad. the newly appointed Postmaster of Dal las, is a young man of varied experience. He has held many positions o honor and trust in Polk County, Eastern Oregon and the State of "Washington. He was born at Dallas, July 27, 1861. and was reared In town and on the farm near here. Mr. Coad Is a graduate of the La Creole Academy, having passed his examination in 1S7S with high honors. Mr. Coad was elected Clerk of Polk County in 18SS. and re-elected la 1800. after -which he served the Dallas City Bank as cashier. Ho was business manager for the Dixie Flour ing Mills Company for several years. He was appointed Assistant Sergeant-at-Arms of the United States Senate. December, 1000, which place he held at the time of his appointment as Postmaster of Dallas. Mr. Coad is a. son of Samuel Coad, a pioneer, and grandson of General Cornelius Gilliam, of pioneer fame. and all with their heads In the wrong direction, as one of the relief party ex pressed It. Instead of retreating from the advancing smoke, they had tried to rush through the deadly gas, with the most deplorable result. Of the eight bodies re covered there was but one that showed any appearance of having suffered In the final agony. The exception was a man who had literally burled himself in the earth of the level In his effort to obtain relief from the deadly gas. After being removed to the surface the bodies were stripped and washed and laid on the plat form of the morgue for the purpose of Identification, being covered with sheets. There was no difficulty In Identification, as the skin was not discolored, nor were the features distorted in any manner. It Is believed that seven of the men died by the deadly gas without knowing It. The names of the men whose bodies were recovered were: Edward Ronl, P. Ronl. Lorenzo Franzol. Joe Franzol, Batista Bassolta, Florianl Aronlzlenl and J. T. Simpson and Everett Simpson. The last two were father and son, the boy but 17 years old. The wife and mother of these was yesterday reported as having died from grief. Following the disaster she had been subjected to violent fits of hys teria, after which a state of coma would ensue. One of these lasted so long thnt her death was actually believed to have occurred. More than once today she viewed the remains of her husband and son, only to be led away each time shriek ing with acute mental agony. At 1 o'clock today a baggage car was moved alongside the morgue. It had come through from Salt Lake and con tained a cargo of cofilns. Into these the bodies were placed. Immediately after the recovery of these bodies the workers encountered much difficulty on account of gas, which for a time stopped progress. All day efforts have .been made to shut off tho gas. Late this afternoon six more bodies were found, and they will be brought up later. General Manager White arrived from the East this morning. He at once descended the stope and will re main on the ground until operations are resumed. He gives It a3 his opinion that thero will still be some fire to fight on the sixth level after it Is opened. SUNDRY CIVIL BILL. Contains Amendments of Importance to Pacific Const. WASHINGTON. Feb. 27. The sundry civil appropriation bill as reported to the Ecnate today contains several amend ments of consequence to the Pacific Coat as follows: For constructing, equipping and com pleting a first-class light vessel for relief duty on the Pacific Coast, $30,000. Authorltlng the Secretary of the Treas ury to contract for establishing additional lighthouses and fog signals in Alaskan water, $250,000. . The appropriation for continuing pres ent lighthouses was reduced from $150,000 to 5100,000. For the fish culture station in Idaho, $25,000. For food, fuel and clothing for the na tives of St. Paul and St, Gregory Islands, Alaska. TheSecretary of the Navy Is authorized to detail one of the purchased vessels of the Navy for duty as boarding vessel at the Port Townsend quarantine station. Authorizing the admission of the Insane volunteers of the Pacific Coast States to any insane asylum In the State of Callfor nla, instead of transporting them to the Government asylum, at Washington, the War Department to bear all expense of their care. Hereafter, all forestry superintendents, supervisors and other officials shall be se lected by the Secretary of the Interior wholly on account of their fitness, and without regard to political affiliations, at not to exceed $3 per day and expenses. Under present conditions there Is a slight possibility that the river and harbor bill may pass, but the chances are still against it . BERLINER PATENT CASE. Decision Against the American Bell Telephone Company. BOSTON, Feb. 27. Judge Brown, of the United States Circuit Court, has decided against the American Bell Telephone Company In the famous Berliner patent case. The suits were the Bell Company against the National Telephone Manufac turing Company, and same against the Century Telephone Company, brought to restrain respondents from selling, using or making telephones or telephonic appa ratus with the microphone attachment, and to account to the Bell Company for past use, manufacture and sales, upon the ground that such was an infringement of patent. The cases were argued before Judge Brown a year and a half ago, and as they related to the same patent the microphone were put In together and tried as If they were one case. The Ber liner patent Is considered one of the most important held by the Bell Company, and does not expire until November 17, 190S. The patent is the same one that has been before the courts In the United States vs. the Bell Telephone Company, where it was held that the patent was not Invalid, on account of delay at the Patent Office. The whole case turns upon the validity of this patent, the defense setting up, among other things, the Invalidity of the patent, Its lack of Invention, anticipation and nonpatentabllity. It Is understood that an appeal will be made from the decision, and that it will be carried to the United States Supreme Court on this appeal. NO REPLY FROM ENGLAND. Cannl Matter May Xot Come Up Until After CongrenH Adjourns. WASHINGTON, Feb. 27. Lord Paunce fote, the British Ambassador, called at the State Department this afternoon, thereby 'giving rise to the conjecture that he was charged with the delivery of the British answer to the Senate's action re specting the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. It turned out. however, that no answer has been received and the visit had reference to other and unimportant matters. The Impression Is deepening to the point of conviction among officials here that no ac tion will be taken upon the treaty or rathor upon the Senate amendments by the British Government before Congress adjourns. But It would not surprise them t at a later date some overtures came, perhaps In the shape of the looked-for counter proposition. By using the old treaty as a basis, some modification like ly to meet with favor on both sides might be evolved. Choatc at the Foreign Office. LONDON, Feb. 27. Ambassador Choatc attended the usual Foreign Ofllce recep tion today. No Information regarding Great Britain's reply on the Hay-Pauncefote treaty amendments was communi cated to him. Stock Muit Pay Tax, Too. LANSING. Mich., Feb. 27. The Supreme Court today handed down a decision In the case of Thaddeus W. Bacon vs. the State Board of Tax Commissioners, in which the court held that Mr. Bacon, who lives at St. Clair, Mich., and who Is the owner of a number of shares of New York Central & Hudson River Railroad stock, was liable to a tax upon these holdings. Mr. Bacon's attorneys contend ed that Inasmuch as the property and franchises of the railroad company were assessed In New York, the taxing of Mr. Bacon's holdings would be double taxa tion. The court ruled that shares of stock owned by residents In foreign corpora tions may be taxed to the owners even though the corporations are taxed In the jurisdiction where their operations are carried on. Victims of Denver Madman. DENVER, Colo.. Feb. 27. Mrs. Jose phine Unternuhrer, one of the" three women struck down by a heavy blow on the head Friday night on Capital Hill, died this afternoon in St. Joseph's Hos pital. One of the others, Mrs. Mars Short, died Saturday. The third victim, Miss Emma Johnson, may recover from her Injuries. Albert Cowen, who Is charged with the murder of Mrs. Short and suspected of being the highwayman who has attacked many women In this city during the past year, was Identified today by Bartholomew Jutl, foreman of the Union Pacific car Inspectors, as the man whom he saw running away from the place where Miss Annie McAtce was knocked down and seriously Injured Oc tober 4 last.

What good will a drydock do us If we have no river? So far as I am per sonally concerned. If I should serve on the new commission, I should expect the treatment Mr. Williams got. After two years of faithful service he was uncere moniously kicked out." "He was kicked out." said the doughty Senator Smith, "because he spent $10,000 of the people's money building an abnor mal channel to his sawmill. You would have been kicked out, too, If you had done a thing of the kind in front of your flour mill." Senator Smith Insisted on drawing the North Pacific mill channel into the con troversy, and Mr. Wilcox said he saw no necessity for discussing that question at this time. Senator Smith smiled and said "probably not," adding: "Almighty God put plenty of water in the river be fore the Port of Portland Commission began making channels." Mr. Wilcox closed by saying that he had had plans prepared for the enlarge ment of his flour mill from 2200 barrels to 4000 barrels per day, but would not give the order for the Improvement until he knew what Iepth of water there would be In the ri?cr. Senator Smith had put on his overcoat and hat to leave the meeting, when he heard Mr. Ladd say that "Dr. Smith had praised Mr. Wilcox's work." He sat on tho edge of a chair near Wilcox until he could have a chance to reply. He said that he had not praised Mr. Wilcox's work, but had condemned It. He consid ered It a very grave error of judgment for Mr. Wilcox, as a member of the com mission, to permit Mr. Williams to cut an abnormal channel, which had done harm to the harbor. "You need not bother your conscience about me," said Mr. Wilcox. "I am not going to serve on the commission." "I don't care whether you do or not," replied Senator Smith. "I was not in favor of putting you on the commission. I simply yielded to other members of the delegation, who thought you should be appointed. i want It distinctly under stood that I have never at any time ap proved your policy on the Port of Port land Commission." Mr. Scott expressed himself In favor of the approval of the new bill by Governor Geer. He said It was not necessary to build the drydock or new dredge at once. These things, he said, could wait awhile. Mr. Wilcox moved the appointment of a committee of three to Investigate. Messrs. Wilcox, Hughes and Ladd de clined to serve because their minds were made up. Chairman Corbett appointed Messrs. Scott, McCraken and Sweek. Tho report of this committee will determine whether those who attended the meeting will advise Governor Geer to veto tho Port of Portland bill or sign it- AT THE HOTELS. THE PORTLAND.

"My fimt two babies were still-born, and I suffered every thing: but death. My friends all thought I conld never recover. I was reduced to 109 pounds. When I was three months along for my third child I was taken with hemorrhage or flooding and came near having a miscarriage from female weakness. For two months I was under the care of our doctor, but was getting weaker all the time until one day I happened to come across one of your little books and I read it through, and the next day I sent and got three bottles of 'Favorite Prescription' and one bottle of 'Pellets.' I improved so fast I continued to take your medicine until baby was born, and he is healthy aud all right. My health has been good ever since. I now weigh 165 pounds."
