WESTWARD TOUR ENDED
DUKE JLSO DUCHESS OP YORK
IiEA-VB FOR HOME TODAY.
Reception at Victoria "Was One of
the 3Ioxt Enthusiastic o
Their Trip.
VICTORIA, B. a. Oct L The Duke
and Duchess of Cornwall and York com
pleted their westward tour through Can
f ada today, and tomorrow set their faces
Eastward toward home. They arrived
nere tms morning:, ana were given one
of the most enthusiastic receptions of
their trip. There were many Americans
in the great crowd that gathered here
for the royal visit, and an address pre
sented to the Duke by the American
British League of Seattle, was acknowl
edged in the general response made by
the Duke to the formal welcomes. Per
fect "weather prevailed throughout the
day and the city was in an attractive
dress of flags and bunting.
The last stage of the westward trip from
Vancouver to Victoria was made in the
steamship Empress of India, which was
accompanied by the cruisers "Warspite,
Amphion, Phaeton and Condor; the de
stroyers Sparrowhawk and Virago and
the Dominion steamer Quadra. As the
fleet ncared Victoria the cruisers ran
ahead, and dropped anchor and dressed
ship, and when the Empress of India
steamed in their guns roarded out a royal
salute and the bluejackets manned the
yards. A shore battery at "Work Point
took up the refrain of the guns. ilring
another royal salute. Great crowds filled
the shore driveway, and the streets radi
ating from the outer wharf, and when
the royal party landed there was a long
cheer of welcome. Sir Wilfrid Laurier pre
sented Lieutenant-Governor Sir Henri
Joly and the members of the local re
ception committee, who showed the Duke
and Duchess to their carriage. The drive
to the Parliament buildings, where the
formal welcome was extended, was
through crowded streets decorated with
flags and streamers.
The civic address was read by Mayor
Hayward, after which addresses from
the Presbytery of British Columbia and
the American-British League of Seattle
were offered. The latter address was
presented by John TV. Pratt, of Seattle,
and said in part:
"We rejoice at the growing unity of
spirit "between the great constitutional
Empire and the great Republic, and we
have observed with intense gratification
the appreciation by the American people
of the friendly purposes manifested to
ward them by His Majesty and the Brit
ish Government."
The Sake in Reply.
The Duke in bis reply said in part:
"I desire to assure you of the gratitude
which the Duchess and I feel for the
kind words of welcome and good wishes
which are expressed in the address you
have presented on behalf of the citizens
of Victoria, the residents of Seattle and
other parts of the State of Washington,
and of the British Columbia synod of
the Presbyterian Church of Canada. I
shall have much pleasure in informing
my dear father, the King, with what
especial satisfaction I have noticed your
strong declaration of loyalty to the con
stitution and pride in the heritage of
British citizenship, and your unfaltering
resolution to share the responsibilities
of upholding the glory and integrity of
that heritage. I know what proof of this
you have already given In the bjood of
your sonse which has been -shed on the
South African veldt. I am confident that
the sacrifices you have made will not
be in vain. They have forged another
link In the golden chain which binds to
gether the brotherhood of the empire."
The Duke then presented meaals to the
Victorians who served In South Africa,
after which he and the Duchess went
among the school children, who were
were all marshalled In front of the
Parliament buildings. The royal party
drove to Esquimalt, and was entertained
at luncheon by Admiral Bickford, on the
flagship Warspite. When the Duke and
Duchess -reached Esquimalt the rhips
fired a royal salute and the yards were
manned.
Late in the afternoon the Duke and
Duchess returned to the city and drove
to the exhibition grounds, passing en
route through the Chinese quarter, which
was fantastically decorated in their hon
or. The Duke spoke briefly in opening
the exhibition, and with the Duchess
looked at many of the exhibits. Tonight
the Ducal party was entertained at din
ner at Government House, and In turn
gave a reception at the Parliament build
ings. The latter was brilliantly illumin
ated, and the reception made one of the
"prettiest affairs of the day. The Duke
and Duchess rest quietly tomorrow at
Oak Bay Hotel, and start Eastward to
morrow night.
New Westminster will be visited Thurs
day, and the next stop after that will
be at Banff, where the party divides lor
a few days. The Duchess will remain at
Banff, and the Duke will go on to Mani
toba for a two days' shooting. From
Manitoba the party goes to Toronto.
SEVENTEEN ARE EXTOMBED.
Mine at Nanaimo Is Now Sealed to
Smother Out the Fire.
NANAIMO, B. C, Oct. L The situation
at the Extension mines remains practical
ly unchanged. Seventeen are known to be
entombed in the fiery sepulcher of No. 2
slope. The list of the dead follows:
GEORGE SOUTHCOMB, timberman;
married; with family resided at Lady
smith; about 26 years of age; a native of
Australia; worked here about two years.
EUGENE GRIFFIN, timberman, mar
ried; family resides at Ladysmith.
WELSH, manager of the Ladysmith
baseball club.
JOHN PATTERSON, miner; married;
resided at Ladysmith.
JAMES WATSON, miner; aged 50; mar
ried; resided at Ladysmith.
MICHAEL DOLAN. miner; aged 25;
married: resided at Ladysmith.
WILLIAM POLLOCK, miner; aged 27;
single; residence at Extension.
E. L. LIN"D, miner; aged 30; married;
resided at Ladysmith.
JOHN MacALLUM, married; resided at
Extension.
J. BLACKLEY, miner; aged 23; single.
E. HAZEL, miner; single; recently came
from Idaho.
FRANK MOTTISHAW, pusher; single;
of Nanaimo
CHARLES NOYE, pusher; single; re
sided at Ladysmith.
ARCHIBALD REEVES, pusher; mar
ried; resided at Ladysmith.
BOYD, pusher; resided at Extension.
HAMILTON, pusher; single; re
sided at Extension.
ANTONIO PESCETTELLI, miner; -single,
resided at Extension.
Pescettelli worked alone in No. 1 level
and there was no hope whatever for him.
His escape was Immediately cut off when
the fire started.
James Thomas, a rope rider, had a thrllL
ing escape. He was riding down the slope,
and seeing the fire coming jumped off -the
car and ran. George Southcomb and Eu
gene Griffin, tlmbermen, called to him
to follow them, but he ran on up the
slope for 1000 feet to its mouth and barely
escaped with his life. The other men were
overtaken by the flames and perished.
A miner running from No. 2 workings
fell exhausted, and in falling knocked
open a door Into another gallery and thus
escaped.
A sad case is that of Mrs. William
Blackley. Her husband and her father,
John McCallum, are both In the mine,
and the woman, who is In delicate health,
is distracted. Her condition is considered
dangerous.
The mines are now sealed to prevent
the ingress of air and so smother out
the flames. Notwithstanding other re
ports this is the only practicable way of
killing the fire, and it will take months
and perhaps years to effect the result
desired. All efforts have so far failed
to prevent a certain amount of air leak
ing In, and this has once or twice caused
explosions which have blown out. the
stoppings. Such an explosion on a large
scale would utterly wreck the mines,
and it is feared that it may happen at
any moment.
Premier Dunsmuir has promised to find
work for at least half of the 500 men
thrown out of employment. All except
two of the victims have families, and
relief funds have been opened on their
behalf. The bodies, of course, cannot
be recovered until the fire is extinguished.
ROGERS OS ai'KIXLEY.
His Contribution, to the Forthcoming
History of the President.
OLYMPIA, Oct. L Governor Rogers was
recently Invited to write a short letter
expressive of his opinion of President
McKinley's life and work, for Congress
man Grosvenor's forthcoming "Life and
History of William McKinley," and yes
terday the Governor sent the following
to the commission having the matter in
charge:
"To the Continental Assembly, Corcor
an Building, Washington, D. C Gentle
men: President McKinley was an emi
nent man, who attained prominence by
reason of marked abilities, both native
and acquired. In all the relations of life
he "was exemplary a model to be fol
lowed. As President of the United States
he conducted the Nation through the
Spanish War with great skill. I think
no man in his position could have been
more successful. And yet, with all his
abilities and attainments, it may be said
of him that nothing in his life honored
him so much as his conduct at the time
of his most lamentable taking-off. At
the time of the assassination, in all the
crowd that surrounded him, his was the
only calm and dignified presence main
tained. His command, "Let no man hurt
him." was Christianlike, and passed the
ordinary nature of man. When Presi
dent Jackson was attacked by a would
be murderer, on leaving the hall of the
House of Representatives, the doughty
old General struck viciously at his as
sailant with his cane. Jackson's . at
titude was proper enough and right
enough, from the human standpoint, but
McKinley, under like circumstances, as
cended to a vastly higher plane. And for
this, and in consequence of it, he incited
the universal admiration of the world.
This will cause him to be remembered
when all else in connection with his career
has been forgotten.
JOHN R. ROGERS."
GOOD YEAR FOR THE FAR3IER.
Hops and Potatoes Were the Only
Short Crops in Lewis County.
CHEHALIS, Oct. L The past season
has been a most successful one for the
farmers of Lewis County. With the ex
ception of hops and potatoes all crops in
this section have been good. Potatoes
now net the farmer $1 per sack. Wheat
brings the grower 56 cents per bushel at
the Chehalis mill, and oats are worth $18
to $20 per ton to the producer. Less
wheat has been raised this season m
Lewis County than for many years. This
is no doubt due to the strong demand for
oats, and the good price the. latter brought
last year. The shortage in wheat acreage
has no doubt been more than made up by
the increased oat acreage. Many of the
farmers are holding their oats for $22.
Hay was an excellent crop and was saved
in good shape. The yields of wheat and
oats were heavy, and all root crops, with
the exception of potatoes, have produced
excellent results. Cattle and hogs are In
strong demand, several carloads of eacn
having been shipped out of Chehalis
within the past two weeks. The hop crop
will run from 65 to 70 per cent of an aver
age crop. The shortage Is due largely to
the cold, damp weather In July, which
retarded the growth of the vines. H. J.
Betty, of Toledo, is the only man in this
section who has a larger crop than last
season. The shortage In the yard of the
Dobson Hop Company, at Chehalis, is
about 1200 boxes on 63 acres. The Pat
terson yard, at Olequa, Is fully 10 tons
short on 70 acres. Some growers have
only a third of an average yield. The
quality, however, is better than for sev
eral seasons. There have been no eales as
yet, tho crop being only a part of it baled
at this time. Picking was completed
without the loss of any of ' the crop by
mold, the first time for two or three years.

LEADER OF THE INDIANS IN THE MIDWAY AT THE DALLES
STREET FAIR.
THE DALLES, Oct. 1. The-Dalles Street Carnival and District Fair is now In
full swing:, under cloudless skies, with the largest attendance from neighboring
sections ever recorded in the history of The Dalles. The'parade yesterday eclipsed
anything of that character ever seen. Several handsome floats appeared in the
parade, noticeable among which were those of the local order of Eagles, escorted
by the lodge en-masse, and that of the cereal committee of the fair. The latter
was especially handsome, being composed of beautifully arranged sheaves and
festoons of train. A pretty girl, dressed as Ceres, was throned above the
sheaves.
Tho Indian Midway is not the least among tho attractions. About 150 bucks
and sauaws are camped In the space allotted them, cooking, eating, dancing and
gambling, according to their best-established customs. The leader among these
braves is Martin Spadls, an Indian or more than ordinary Intelligence and per
sonal beauty. As a dancer or leader in sports Martin has no equal here. He Is a
Klickitat Indian, born in the village of Wlshram, on the Washington shore of
the Columbia, near Celllo Falls. His father still lives there, as did his ancestors
for generations back. Besides a fair English education, Martin Is skilled in the
working of silver, beautiful bracelets and trinkets coming from his skillful
fingers.
The local order of "Woodmen, fire companies and numerous floats added ma
terially to the brilliance of the parade.
The Seventh Regiment Infantry Band from Vancouver Barracks is in attend
ance. The races begin this "afternoon.
Ninety bishops, 400 clergymen and 2500
laity are expected to be present. The con
vention promises to be the most notable
since the original convention, 112 years
ago.
Many important questions are scheduled
for consideration. Foremost among them
are the final acceptance of the constitu
tion drafted by the convention at Wash
ington in 1898, and since carefully scru
tinized by every diocese in the country;
the canons or lawr9 of the church; the
marginal readings of the holy scriptures;
the missions; tho special report upon the
canon of marriage and divorce, as under
stood by the Episcopal Church, and the
course of the church toward Porto Rico,
the Philippines, Hawaii and Cuba. Ac
cording to the rules of the church, the
convention will be presided over by the
bishop of longest service present Accord

OREGON AND COLUMBIA
GERMAN SHIPOWNERS PAY A COM
PLIMENT TO WEBFOOT STATE.
Vessels Named lor the Trade in
"Which They Ply Steamship Kvar
ven Sails Freight Market Dull.
The Oregon grain trade is proving quite
attractive to German shipowners, and they
are not only sending their fleets here in
increasing numbers each year, but they
are doing the state the honor of placing
on some of their ships names .of local
significance. J. TIdemann & Co., of Bre
men, owners of the German ship Ecuador,
which sailed from Portland last week,
have just added a new ship to their fleet
and christened her the Oregon. The orig
inal fleet of this Arm was composed of
the ships Peru, Chile and Ecuador, and
they were intended for trading with the
countries whose names they bore. The
Peru was the first of the trio to come to
Portland, and the trade proved so satis
factory that the others were sent here for
cargoes. The British ship Lord "Woolsey
was then purchased, and put under the
German flag, bearing the name Columbia.
The Oregon, the latest addition to the
fleet, was formerly the British ship Port
Errol. She goes under the new flag in
command of Captain Ohllng, who made
several remarkably fast passages with
the Peru. Another German firm which has
sent a number of ships to this port has
added the old British ship Centesima to
its fleet. This vessel, which is now owned
by the Vlsurgls Rhederi Act Ges, of Bre
men, has been rechristened Nauarchos,
and will sail under the same house-flag as
the Najade, Nal, Neck, Nereide, Nereus,
Nlxe, Nesala, Nlobe. Nomla and Nymphe,
all of which arc well known in this port,
and some of which have been in the Port
land trade since they first started out un
der the German flag. The British ship
Seafarer has also passed under the Ger
man flag, and is known as the "See
fahrer." The Norwegians have also been adding
some of the old-time Britishers to their
fleets, recent changes being the British
ship Portia, which Is now the Norwegian
ship Oddero, and the Ravenscrag, which
is now the Norwegian bark Armenia.
LIGHT ORIENTAL CARGO.
Kvarven Loaves for a Roundabout
Journey to Orient.
The Norwegian steamship Kvarven,
which has been In port waiting orders for
several days, left down the river yesterday,-and
will go to Nanaimo for a part
cargo of-coal for San Francisco. She
cleared, from this port yesterday afternoon
with 3595 barrels of flour, valued at $9225,
and "46,030 feet of lumber, valued at $460.
The Kvarven is In the service of the Cali
fornia & Oriental Steamship Company,
which is the name under which the Atchi
son, Topeka & Santa Fe conducts its Ori
ental steamship line. The Kvarven came
to Portland quite unexpectedly several
days ago, and, as no one had been advised
of her coming, there was no cargo for
her. In retracing her route from British
Columbia and going thence to San Fran
cisco and San Diego, she will make seri
ous inroads on the profits of the trip from
San Diego to the Orient. The workings
of the "community of interests" will prob
ably prevent a repetition of such unprofit
able voyages, as that which is now being
made by the Kvarven
DULL FREIGHT MARKET.
Sailing Ships Chartered for Oil Busi
ness at Lower Rates.
So far as known, neither of the disen
gaged sailing ships in port were offer
ing for wheat business yesterday, and the
owners are probably waiting for a rally
In the wheat market before pressing their
ships on the market. Oil freights, 'which
have held steady for a long time in the
East, are coming down in sympathy with
other freights, and vessels which could
secure 27 and 28 cents a year ago are now
taking business at 5 and 6 cents per case
less. Recent fixtures for this business are
the Khyber and Forrest Hall, both of
which cleared from Portland with wheat
a few months ago. They arc to receive
22 cents for December-January loading
for Hong Kong, and the British bark
Fortevoit, which loaded wheat at Tacoma
last season, has been chartered to load
at New York for Shanghai at 23 cents.
Swedish Antarctic Expedition.
NEW YORK, Oct. 1. Frank Wllbert
Stokes, an Arctic artist who was with
Lieutenant Peary In 1892, 1S93 and 1S94,
will start tomorrow on the Philadelphia,
of the American line, to join the Swedish
Antarctic expedition under Dr. Otto Nor
denskjold at Southampton. An agree
ment has been reached by which he will
be the artist for the Swedish expedition,
Mr. Stokes was to have accompanied the
Baldwin-Zeigler expedition, but at the
last moment he gave up this idea to go
instead into the Antarctic regions.
The Swedish Antarctic expedition will
start from Gothenberg In the steamer
Antarctic, October 8, . and proceed to

Mngdnlcne at Hamburg.
The big four-masted bark Magdalene,
which sailed from Portland late in May,
arrived out at Hamburg yesterday, after
an average passage of 130 days. This
leaves but nine of last season's fleet still
on tho way, and in less than GO days some
of the new-season ships will be showing
up on the other side. None of the ships
which left Portland late in the Spring
have made very fast passages, but those
which got away before the turn of the
year went out fast enough to make the
average passage of the fleet a very good
one. The Magdalene was one of the few
ships sailing from Portland that cleared
for a direct port, nearly all of the vessels
leaving here going to Queenstown or Fal
mouth for orders.

ESCAPED FROM CITY JAIL.
Blnnchnrd, the Falce Alarm Fire
Artist, Leaves Captors.
Frank Blanchard, alias Melville Blanch
ard, alias John McDonald, recently sen
tenced to 90 days' Imprisonment In the
City Jail on a self-confessed charge of
sending In more than 20 false alarms
of fire during this past year, escaped
from the jail yesterday. Blanchard Is
also the young hopeful who surrendered
himself to the police authorities of Lon
don, England, several months ago, as
serting that his name was McDonald,
and that he was implicated In the rob
bery of $4728 from the Western Lumber
Mills about 10 months ago. Blanchard
told this story in the hope that he would
secure free transportation to this coun

the Municipal Courtroom, waited until
the prisoners had their hearings, and
then stole out through the Courtroom
door.

Suburban Growth.
W. S. Failing, of South Mount Tabor,
.says that the demand for houses In that
district is remarkable. He tells of a case
where a small house in Tobasco Addition
had been rented for a year at $S per
month, and the renter paid half the rent
In advance. In Tobasco, he says, most of
the houses were built on the Installment
plan years ago and their owners lost
them. These were vacant for a long
time, but have filled up. Every few
days someone Is out there looking for a
house. The betterment in the Mount
Scott car service has had much to do
with the Improved conditions. Mr. Fail
ing tells of a man who owned some land

of stores sell it, especially druj;f;ists.

turencss. loss of vitality, etc.. are but
symptoms of some damage to tlw- re
productive system caused by a contract

ing for the location of this damage we
generally find an enlarged, swollen and
inflamed prostate gland. As this gland
is the very center of the reproduotlv
system it can readily be understood
thnt Inflammation of It must cause dis
ordered function. The cases are prompt
ly benefited by proper treatment, other
wise the patient goes from bud to

them is the necessity of the cure of
the focus of the trouble. In the pros

fully treated for a weakness now know
the cause of failure. In our experiemfe
there 1 no drur in the Pharmacopeia,

! Contracted Disorders
Under tho- treatment pursued before

was deemed the duration of an acute
contracted disorder. If It proceeded be
yond six weeks It was considered to
have gone into a chronic condition.
From statistics compiled from our prac
tice the past 5 years, covering over 8500
case3. wc can show that 00 per cent of
our patients have recovered In fourteen
days or Ie3s. It la. therefore, equally
proper to hold that a case not entirely
cured within two weks must be con
sidered a chronic one. and some eomiMt
catlon has arlFcn, from which the pa

free consultation on this subject, and
offer an experience of over twenty
years: in fact, we can positively assert
that we have never failed to cure in a

Varicocele
Varlcocle Is an enlargement of the
