Bays Control of Interoceanlc Rail way to Prevent a Monopoly. MEXICO CITY, Mexico, Oct. 7. The Eccnomista Mexlcana. the leading weekly on financial work, which reflects official views to some extent, has an article on the recent purchase by the government of the controlling Interest in the Inter oceanlc Railway, between this city and the port of Vera Cruz. The Economlsta traces the growing power of great rail way companies here. Increasing continu ally by consolidation and purchase of con necting lines, and declares that the Mex ican Central Railway, with Its new acqui sitions. Is at the head of one group, while the National Railroad, whose gauge Is be ing widened, belongs to another. The first Is the Rockefeller group. The second. , is the Speyer group. The Speyer group is said to have "been contemplating buying the control of the- Interoceanlc' Railway, which would have made the Mexican Central Railway very powerful In. railway affairs here, and the govern ment determined to checkmate the great American railway consolldators by. using the interoceanlc for Itself, and so pre venting the approach of the monopoly which It claims to have foreseen In trans portatlon. It must, says the Economlsta. have been superficially judged that with the Mexi can Central group on one side and the Speyer group on the other, there could not have been peril from lack of compe tition in railway rates, but recent Amer ican history shows that great rivals often combine interests and make the public defenseless.

French Miners' Committee Will Take Up Sabject Again Today. PARIS, Oct 7. The National Committee of the French Miners' Federation met here today with the intention of deciding whether an immediate general strike was to he ordered, agitation in favOr of such a step having been in progress for some time. The meeting lasted three hours, and then adjurned until tomorrow without ar riving at a decision. M. Basle, a Socialist Deputy, who represents an important dis trict of the coal fields, says he is confident that a genera; strike will be ordered, and that 70,000 out of 100,000 miners will obey the order. He added that the strike would extend over the Pas de Calais, the Nord, the Loire and the Carmaux regions. CHURCHES ABOUT TO TUMBLE. Venice Mast Repair Them Soon to Avert Catastrophes. NEW YORK, Oct. 7. Discussing 8Ignor Bonl's work in connection with the re construction of monuments In Venice, a dispatch to the Times from that city foy way of London says the Church of St. Mark, the Doges' Palace, the Procuratle Vecchle, the Zecca, and the Churches of Santa "Maria Glorlosa Del Frari, and St. Giovanni Paolo need prompt attention if catastrophes are to be averted. In St Mark's there is a crack in the great arch of the Apocalypse, and tho arch sags downward almost a foot. It la expected that it will be necessary to re .move all of the mosaics of the arch, and that the hrlck wall behind them will have U be more solidly constructed. In the Doges' Palace diagonal lescenes are visible, and it looks as though the brick work were tumbling outward. The correspondent says this Is not surprising, seeing that one of the chief internal waUs was cut through in order to make room for an elevator for the heavier books in the BIblloteca Marciana. In the Procuratle Vecchle, there are serious cracks, caused probably by the whole demolition of internal walls and the stacking of heavy goods In the rooms above the colonnade. The correspondent comments on the folly of the civil engineering corps which Is preparing to remove the BIblloteca Marciana to the Zecca. Tlje .latter build ing is already in a rickety condition from top to bottom. The engineers Intend to roof in the Renaissance courtyard so as to make a reading-room out of it. The correspondent says that It is probable that the place will tumble In before the library csn be opened. Regarding the general subsidence of Venetian soil, Signor Bonl believes that the land has sunk at the rate of about 3 Inches a century. TOWER PRAISES WHITE.

Ambassador Tower. who has arrived here from St. Petersburg to meet nis wne, said to a representative of the Associated Press: "I consider it a great honor to have been selected to succeed such a distinguished-scholar and able diplomat as Mr. White, whese retirement from Berlin will necessarily be a great loss to the American diplomatic service.

I have always taken great interest In Ger man matters, and am looking forward with great pleasure to taking up my new duties." w. Mr. Tower will shortly return to Russia- for his official leave-taking. REPORTERS ARE SHUT OUT. Coxnminslon Investigating Boer War Is Working: in Secret. LONDON, Oct. 7. The first sitting of the royal commission appointed to inquire into the conduct of the South African War was held today, under the presidency of Lord Elgln Much dissatisfaction was caused by the decision of the commission to exclude the press, the general opinion being voiced by the Pall Mall Gazette, which says: "The presence of reporters is necessary to assure a full and free in vestigation." Still Crltices Rasslan Diplomacy. ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. (Corre spondence of the Associated Press.) The Novoe Vremya continues to proclaim Its dissatisfaction with Russian diplomacy In Turkey, which it claims should havo barred the door to German railroad enter prises. In order of Importance to Russia, this Journal ranks the Balkans first, then Turkey, then Persia, and lastly the Far East. The efforts of Russia have, how ever, been expended In inverse proportion, so far as the last three are concerned. Russia has made no commercial efforts in Turkey, and has no Turkish trade worth mentioning. . Minister Bonerart Tamed Dowa. BERNE. Oct." 7.

Ssathern Pacific Property - North, ot Barnside Street-Is Favored as Best Place Available. The members of the Port of Portland Commission are spending much time con sidering the different sites offered for a drydock. Yesterday theywent In a body tp the East Side ahd looked over the Southern Pacific property fronting on the river and extending from the Burnslde street bridge to the southern end of the old Oregon & California wharf. This site, in their opinion, Is an Ideal one for a dry dock, and If satisfactory arrangements can be made. It may be selected. The location has the advantage of being the most central one available, and, further- VENTILATING FAN FOR lrii . .; -, . .-. w zis,igs,?'.''.&-.. 4k"v' 't' Vi '-.::?.V:';?-v .3 ' 'f.i- ;-r-' " $i" ... - v 1 " ' 'V-; v A. x . . , tjV : . . ,- . v: :4V ..-. ., Avi -... .

The two ventilating and heating fang now being installed In the Scottish Rite Masonic Cathedral, at Lownsdalc and Morrison streets, are the largest in the city, and will aid in introducing a system of combined heating and ventilation never before used here. ,The illustration shows the smaller of the two blow ers. The larger one, which has already been installed In the basement, has a diameter of 06 Inches. This fan forces the cool air from outside into a brick room containing two huge furnaces, where the alrs heated and Is again forced by the blower into pipes leading Into the various rooms of the building."" the relative amount being systematically regulated by dampers. The smaller fan, shown above, has a, diameter of 50 Inches, and will be placed In the attic, to throw out the foul air which is broueht up by the current of warm air from the base ment. The larger fan will control about 20,000 cubic feet of air per minute, meanwhile making 200 revolutions. The same system will soon be Installed by the contractor, W. G. McPheraon, In the Eunnyaldo Schoolhouse. A somewhat similar plant has been in operation In the First Baptist Church for some time. more, there is plenty of deep water there, soundings showing 40 feet just oft the river bank. If the dock is put there, the railroad company will have to move its tracks further back. This Is only one of the several sites that the board is viewing, and no conclu sion will be reached until the matter has been fully considered. Options have been given . on several locations further down, and all the sites will be visited. Next to the Southern Pacific property, the best location that has been brought to the board's notice is the Davis property, fac ing the Government boneyard. Tracts at St Johns and Llnnton are considered too far away from the foundry and manufac turing district. The. long-walted-for runner for the Port of Portland's, new dredge arrived from California last night. It will be taken aboard the dredge today, and the work of completion will be pushed forward as rapidly as possible. PANTRYMAN DROWNED. John Harris Loses His Life From the Steamer Pomona. John Harris, aged 18, a pantryman on the Oregon City Transportation Company's steamer Pomona, lost his life at the dock at the foot of Taylor street Monday night. The steamer had Just made the landing, and instead of going ashore on the gang plank Harris attempted to leap from the rail of the boat to the dock. His foot slipped as he Jumped, and Instead of alighting on the dock he was only able to grasp the edge of the timbers with his hand. His hold was not secure enough, however, and he dropped Into the water. Several of the men on the boat attempted to grab him before he fell, but were un successful. The unfortunate lad came up to the surface once, but sank Immediately from sight and It Is evident that he struck his head on something as he went ..down and was rendered uncqnsclous. Hugh Brady was sent for and began dragging at once, but did not recover the body until yesterday afternoon. The re mains were taken to the morgue, and will be sent to Salem today. Harris was a son iof J. S. Harris, a well-known goatbreeder in'. Marlon County. Young Harris was a very bright and Intelligent boy. He leaves a father, mother and two sisters. Freights Are Q.nlet. There is not much doing; in charters, as shippers and shipowners are apart In their views. Ships are asking 25s for wheat from this port to the United Kingdom, -and exporters are willing to pay 23s 9d. which Is the extreme. For South African qrts 27 and 2Ss is quojted as the market price for ships. The big Dutch steamer Java, registering 3079 tons, is reported fixed for South Africa, Puget Sound load ing, but the particulars are not made pub lic. The Java sailed from Samarang Sep tember 23 for the Coast. Lime Branch Leaven. The big steamship Lime Branch, wheat laden, left down the river yesterday morn ing at 10 o'clock. That she found no diffi culty In getting down was shown when the report came up that she had passed Reeders two hours after high tide. As Reeders is considered the worst place In the river, there Is no reason why she should not get through without trouble. The Ocklahama started down last night With the two barges containing lighter age for the steamer. Adderley Arrives With Coal. The Ocklahama arrived up yesterday afternoon with the British bark Adderley, which dropped anchor In the stream. The Adderley brings a cargo of coal from Newcastle, N. S. W., consigned to Kerr, "Glfford & Co. She will take on lumber here for Sydney. The Adderley is one of the few vessels hailing from Sydney which visits this port. Marine Notes. The Copley began discharging her cargo of window-glass and other merchandise at Coloma dock. The Port Logan, at the elevator, and La Fayette, at Victoria dock, were the wheat ships loading yesterday. The steamer Meteor cleared yesterday with lumber and piling for TopolobampoT This Is the second lumber cargo that has gone to that port In two months.' the Eureka carrying the other. The work of repairing the steamer Has salo, which was damaged in the collision with the Cypromene, will probably begin at the boneyard today. A huge tarpaulin has been stretched over the raashedJn portion of the boat. . The Hawaiian sugar season has come to a close. The season has been a very prof itable one for the Southern Pacific. The increase In traffic over last year Is about 40 per cent. Tho season which will open next year ls looked forward to as prom ising to be the greatest in the history of MASONIC CATHEDRAL. the Islands. The Islands have had an am pie supply of rain, and plantations which were idle heretofore are growing full crops. It Is estimated the imports from Hawaii the coming season will be double the Imports of this year. The feature of the situation this year was the Introduc tion of oil as fuel on the sugar steamers, The Pacific Mall Company Is preparing to fit all Its steamers to burn fuel oil. Ac cording to the plan, It Is proposed to es tablish oil supply stations at Panama, at .Honolulu ana at one of the Japanese ports. The station at Panama may be supplied from the welh? in Peru, and the one in me unent irom itussia. Domestic r-.ml Foreign Ports. ASTORIA. Oct. 7. Arrived at 11 A. M. and left up at 2:30 P.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.-Unlted States Minister Buck, at Tokio, has transmitted to the State Department a long report up on trade conditions in Japan, In which he says the foreign trade of Japan for the year 3901 was marked by many unfavor able features, but there wa3 at the same time a distinct recovery from the evil conditions from which it suffered during the previous year. Mr. Buck says that no little apprehen sion was exclted"at the beginning of the year 1901 by the fact that tho foreign trade of Japan In the previous year has resulted In a balance unfavorablo to the country of ?41,122.0C0, and an outflow of specie amounting to $22,425,000. The existing con ditions he ascribes to excessive govern ment expenditures. Bankruptcies and failures to meet engagements were nu merous among the smaller merchants, but the more Important mercantile and finan cial houses of Japan passed successfully through the ordeal with one or two excen tipns. According to the Minister United State's Imports to Japan were smaller in 1S01 than In 1PO0 owing to the decline in quantity of raw cotton material. FOR SPOKANE FAIR, O. R. & N.

(Corres pondence of the Associated Proas.) The closing session of the Congress of Crim .InalLstu was marked by the rcedlnjr of Professor Franz von Liszt's paper on "The Sociological Factors of Criminal ity." The criminality of the present day differs, according to this great authority, from that of former times In a two-fold manner, conditioned by our social organ ization: First Through the crimes, of the prole tariat Second Through thes crimes, of the neurasthenic;? which are a result of in dustrial competition. The lawmaker cannot Interfere In the normal development of society, but has a two-fold duty toward its victims: First To help those that are threatened with destruction by the struggle for ex istence. Second "Without either severity or weakness, to exclude from society those who are past hope of Improvement. The. resulting educational and eliminat ing measures will form the criminal policy of the future. The congrtes did not approve the ad vanced position of M. G. Fenilloley. Advocate-General of the Court of Cassation at Paris, on the "White Slave Trade." He demanded the punishment of those en gaged In this traffic, even when the ob ject of it is of age and when neither fraud nor constraint can be pro.ved. on the ground that the law cannot recognize the validity of the consent to the sale of a human being. The congress, however, un reservedly supported the recommenda tions of the famous Paris conference on this subject LAWYER FINDS A WAY. He Pawns HIh Watch to Get a Chart er for Railway Company. NEW "YORK, Oct. 7. A New York law yer hss been compelled to pawn his watch here to get a charter for the Phippany & Passaic River Railroad Company, says a Herald dispatch from Trenton, N. J. When the attorney reached the State De partment he discovered that he had ccme away without the money for the filing fees, although he had brought 514.000 for the certificate. He had but a small sum of change In his pockets, and the Corpora tion Clerk Infofmed him that without the requisite 575 tlere could be no filing of the charter. The lawyer protested that the parties Interested in the company -were awaiting a telegram from him announcing the Is suance of the charter In order' that a meeting could be held at once. The court attaches were obdurate, however, and a visit to the nearest pawnshop was made. Here the necessary sum was realized and the charter was procured. A telegraph order for money soon arrived, and the at torney redeemed his watch. The proposed railroad is to be seven m(Ies long, and capitalized at 5375.000. More Power for Finland Executive. ST.

The remedy Is not heralded as a won derful dif covery. nor yet a secret patent medicine, neither Is It claimed to cure anything except dyspepaia, and stomach troublte. with which nine -x.t of 'en suffer. The remedy Is In the form of pleasant taetlng tablets or lozenges, containing vegetable and fruit essences, pure aseptic pepsin (Government test), golden seal and diastase. The tablets are sold by drug gists under the name of Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets. Many interesting experi ments to test the digestive power of Stu- -art's tables show that one grain of the active principle contained In them is euf .flcient to thoroughly digest 3000 grains of raw meat, eggs and other wholesome food. A. Stuart's Tablets do not act upon the bowels like after-dinner pills and cheap cathartics, which simply Irritate and In flame the intestines without having any effect whatever in digesting food or cur ing indigestion. If the stomach can be rested and as-' sisted in the work of digestion It will very soon recover Its normal vigor, as no organ is so much ahused and overworked as the stomach. This la the secret. If there is any secret; of the remarkable success of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, a remedy practically unknown a few years ago, and now the' most widely known of any treatment for stomach weakness. f This success haa been secured entirely upon its merits as a digestive pure and simple, because there can be no stomach trouble If the food Is promptly digested. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets act entirely on the food eaten, digesting It completely, so that It can be assimilated into blood, nerve and tissue. They -cure dyspepsia, water brash, sour stomach, gas and bloat ing after meals, because they furnish the digestive power which weak stomachs , lack, and unless that lack is supplied It. . is useless to attempt to cure by the use . of "tonics," "puis" and cathartics which have absolutely no digestive power. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tahleta can be. found., at all drug stores, and the regular use of. , one or two of them after meals will dem? onstrate their merit better than any other . argument , . is-- ' - AnO the SemanS Is such thai aw Souht if you can buy it , . 4.. -- - -.
