12 THE MORNING OTtEGQ.NIAN, WEDNESDAY,, NOVEMBER 12, 1902. TD RESUME SERVICE 0, R: & N. Steamers Will Soon Go on 'Frisco Route. PREPARATIONS FOR STARTING i NohhbIob Engineers Bronpht In to Take Place of Striker -Longr-. shoremen WillWork the Cargoes. Preparations are being made to put the O. R. &. N. Co.'b steamers Geo. W. Elder and Columbia In service In the near fix ture. Just when they will resume trips between Portland and San Francisco Is not known, but It Is believed .along the water front. that they wiil.be running In a lev da-s. Officials of the company make no announcement of their intention, but do not deny the rumors that have been current to the effect that he boats will again go on their old run. Since the strike of the marine engineers six weeks ago the steamers have been tied up at Alaska dock and have under gone a general overboiling. New smoke stacks have been put in and a number of minor repairs made, and a great deal of painting done. Both were coaled up after discharging their last Inward cargoes, so nothing remained but to get, engineers to take the strikers' places. These have J been secured, and everything will soon be j In readiness to send the steamers out on regular scheduler.. Four of the new en gineers' are from New York, and two are from San Francisco. All, of course, are nonunion men. At the headquarters of the striking engineers in this city it Is ad mitted that outside men have been Im ported, but the union men declare the newcomerawill not give satisfaction any more, they say, than the nonunion men Who were put on the river boats. "They Hay the strike on the river is broken," said a union engineer last night, "but look at the service. While It is true that many of the boats arc running, yet there are plenty of them In the boneyard, and a lot more ready to go there." It will be the same way, the engineers say, with the ocean-going steamers. The longshoremen will not object to the resumption of business with nonunion men on the ocean line. A committee of the Longshoremen's, Union recently had a conference with President Mohler. of the O. R. & N., and promised that they would be on hand at the docks when the steam ers were again put Into service. This re fusal of the longshoremen to take sym pathetic action In favor of the engineers' union has done much to enable the O. R. & N. Co. to get Into the ocean-carrying business again. The longshoremen have heretofore expressed sympathy with the engineers in their strike, but as they are not affiliated with the latter, they do not tee that they can consistently be expect ed to assist them. Yesterday the stewards of the company's steamers were out laying in the necessary supplies for a voyage down the coast, which leads to the belief that the Colum bia and the Elder will very shortly re sume their sailings. ENCOUNTERED SEVERE GALE. Steamer Tnemna Wait Rouprhly Jlan rtlert When Nine Day Ont. VICTORIA, B. C. Nov. 1L Steamer Empress of China, which arrived tonight from the Orient, brought advices of the terrible voyage of the liners Tacoma and Indrapura, the former from Victoria and the latter from Portland. The Tacoma spent 23 days In reaching Yokohama, nine days longer than usual and the Indra pura was 24 days from Astoria to Yoko hama in consequence of the storms. The Tacoma encountered a gale Octo ber 14, nine days out, with tremendous seas, which swept inboard on the port side, unshipping and smashing the two after life boats, the wreckage of which was thrown overboard. The saloon sky light was washed away, and the saloon flooded. The steamer was in great danger and her officers feared she would be lost. The steam steering gear broke down and it required six men at the wheel aft. The telegraph was also disabled, the captain and officer of the bridge signalling the wheelhouse with the whistle. Early In the morning another sea swept over the port quarter, carrying away the port quarterboat which was driven through the captain's room. The davits were snapped like pipestems, the taffrail broken and the whole deckhouse wrecked. ,The wheelhouse was stove in and flooded, and officers and sailors lifted from their feet and Jammed against the roof. The captain's room lay in a mass of debris, the bulkhead between the .room and so cial hall was carried away, saloon doors carried overboard. In fact the whole port ma was ftov in and wrecked. The cteamer looked like a Junk shop. She rode the storm well, however, her en gines worked well and the crew behaved heroically; but two suffered Injuries, both of a minor nature. The Indrapura was 24 days from Asto ria, being damaged by the same storm. During one of the blows, the seas washed away a deckhouse and otherwise wrecked ner upperrworks. FLEET OF SHIPS ARRIVES.

J "M0GAft1BLING"SAYS;iURY VBRD1CT OF NOT GUILTY HE- TURNED JL7S FIVE .MINUTES. Men Caught in ErIcknon!s Cafe at a 'Twenty-One" Table Are Ac . . quitted of Charge 'The.jiiry inquiring Into the charge of gambling against six men arrested In Erlckson's Cafe. . Second and .Burnslde streets, Just took five minutes to consider the preposition yesterday in the Municipal Court, and returned a verdict of not guilty. The evidence was that the six men were caught seated at a "21" .table, with stacks of cards In front of them and a 50-cent piece on each stack, and also $24 In sliver In the cash box. The tietenaams were; i Pfeter St Mary, Samuel Grant, Samuel DUriStah, J. H. Roy. H. Bush and Gus Matson. Over one hour was consumed In getting Jurymen, .is the defense and prosecution each excused three men for one reason or another. W. B. Ludlam, when asked If he was in favor of enforcing the laws against gambling just the . same as he believed in enforcing any other law, re plied; "1 am not In favor of a closed town, because I do not believe It would be good business policy. I would be Inclined to give the defendant the best of it, for the reason i have given." He- was excused. Ultimately this Jury of four was accepted on.lm-nrn- t. i.nn-enfrart. T. Hendricksen. Fred Jennings and W.-B. Kraner. Henry ronrenented the defendants. and Deputy City Attorney Fitzgerald pros- The complaint set fqrlh that the defend ants "did engage in and play in and at and bet at and upon a game, 'the name and description of which is unknown to Inn nm ninlnt said crame being then and tfcere played with credits and other de vices, for money, checks and other repre sentatives of value." This was sworn u hv "Pr.llppman Ballev. Addressing the Jury.. Mr. Fitzgerald said: "You and I can not afford to violate our oatns, to anuw this cltv to tramble. We will show you that the '.suckers' are being scared away frm gambling-nouses, anu that the gamblers are driven to playing among themselves." "There is a public sentiment against this sort of prosecution," Insisted Mr. McGinn. "Thortf have been about 20 gambling cases recently before th'ls court, and there has not been one conviction yet. "We have convicted Chinamen," inter rupted Mr. Fitzgerald. "So I have been told," rejoined the op posing lawyer. Policeman Bailey testified: "Sergeant Church opened the downstairs .door for us at Erickiton's, and when we went upstairs we saw the defendants seated at a '21' table playing a game. Each player had a stack of cards In front of him with 50 cents either on top of the stack or under it. Samuel Grant was the dealer, and he Jumped up from the dealer's chair, and said: 'We are only playing freeze-out.' The money drawer was near Grant, with money In it Peter SL Mary jumped up and stated: I wasn't playing.' All the de fendants are gamblers, and some of them are 'boaters' that is, people who encour age others to play. I did not see any money change hands. All the doors were locked except the one where Sergeant Church admitted us." "How did the gamblers secure admit tance?" was asked. "1 don't know." replied Bailey. "You- do not suppoaj that Church al lowed any other persohs In except Gibson and yourself, on the night In question?" speculated Municipal Judge Hogue. "No. sir." Policeman Gibson corroborated his brother officer's evidence. Mr. Fitzger ald -took a" 'leek of cards, and showed the jury how the game known, as "21" Is played, and in his speech he remarked that if the people of Portland do not wish the ordinance against gambling enforced that they ought to ask the City Council to have the ordinance repealed. He called on the jury to do Its duty by finding the defend ants guilty of gambling. "This case is trifling; let us quit It," said Mr. McGinn. "The policemen aid not see any money change hands. The de fendants axe Innocent." PACIFIC COAST SHIPPING. Healthful Development Daring; the Fiscal Year. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Nov. 7. According to the annual report of . the Commissioner of Naviga tion, there has been very healthful devel opment of American shipping on the Pa cific Coast during the last fiscal year. The report shows that while the gross tonnage of American ships In the whole United States Increased from 5,521,218 to 5,797,902 for the year, the gross tonnage of American ships on the Pacific Coast showed an Increase from G76.6S2 to 711,825 for the same period a greater proportion ate development than was experienced in the country at large. Unfortunately, the Commissioner's re port does not give even approximate data concerning the shipping carried from the various ports in American bottoms. It merely gives data by districts, based on the ships that are documented In their re spective limits. While there are few ships documented In Oregon, there are yet many engaged In the carrying trade of Portland and other ports which are documented elsewhere. So far as the Commissioner's figures go, they make a poor showing for the Oregon ports, especially compared with those of Puget Sound. At the close of the fiscal year just ended there were 133 vessels of all classes docu mented In Oregon, representing a gross tonnage of 43.7M. At the close of the pre ceding year there were 200 vessels, of 759 tons. Included In these figures are 3 registered vessels engaged In foreign trade and representing a tonnage of i209. as against 6 such vessels last year with a tonnage of 3220. The enrolled vessels en gaged In coastwise trade now number 133, with 40,796 recorded tonnage, as against 133 last year, representing 40,602 tons. This year there are 55 smaller vessels of less than 20 tons, whose aggregate tonnage Is but S79, as against 61 a year ago. repre senting 937 tons. There is no comparison between the documented tonnage of Washington and Oregon. The former stafe now has 1105 listed vessels of 233.731 tons, as compared with 1008 vessels last year of 205.7C9 tons. Of this number 295 are engaged in foreign trade, an Increase of 5 for the year, while their tonnage has Increased from 11S.601 to 172S3. Likewise the number of coastwise vessels has Increased from 213 to 377, and their tonnage shows an advance from 53, 1SS to 61.376. ' Even Alaska has 270 documented vessels, with a recorded gross tonnagl of 23.G75. as against 2 vessels a year ago, with a tonnage of 29,250. Of this number HZ are now engaged in foreign trade, with a tannage of 3L92S. as against 62 last year, having a tonnage of 23,250. The Commissioner's report shows no steam vessels documented in Oregon and engaged In foreign trade, although there are'lOS coastwise vessels of this type, of 34,204 tons. Last year Oregon reported 2 steam vessels in foreign trade, having a tonnage of 550. with 104 additional steam vessels in coastwise trade, with a ton nage of 21S45. In that year Alaska, had 32 steam vessels In foreign trade, where she now has 23. and the tonnage in this class has increased from 13.500 to 2L44S. Throughout the past two years Oregon has had 5 iron and steel vessels, all docu mented In the coastwise class, with a gross tonnage of 7378, .and all steam-propelled. Washington now has 27 iron and steel veaeels; of 44422 tons, of which 24 are In the foreign trade, and represent a tonnage of 42,407. Alaska has 13 such vessels, of 2522 tons, 9 In 'the foreign trade. One of the interesting features oi the re port, aside from local statistics, is Ihe ref erence to square-rigged vessels now in the carrying trade. "3?he square-rigged fleet will, almost have ceased to exist 20 years hence," says the Commissioner. He shows by tables that 'since 1S93; when there were 677 such ves3el3 flying the American flag, there has been a decrease to 371 in 1901. The German and British fleets show a corresponding- reduction. The decline in tonnage of this class of vessels has been much less lian the de cllnp in the number of vessels. Those wlilch are disappearing In considerable numbers are the older and smaller wooden and Iron vessels, which are being replaced by yessejsi of steel, and usually -250i gross tonnage or more. A considerable portion of the Iron and steel square-rigged vessels J are engaged In carrying grain to Europe from Paclflc Coast ports, and In other trade, from which they will necessarily be displaced by steamers when the Isth mian canal Is completed. -The several economies possible from the Increasing use of oil as fuel on steamers will put the large sail vessel at a further disadvan tage.

DECLINE IN CRIMPING. Only Complaints Now Come From Pa cific Coast Ports. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Nov. 7. "The returns of Shipping Commissioners and testimony from other sources point to a steady decline in the so-called crimping system as applied to American vessels within the past few years," says the Commissioner of Navi gation In his annual report to the Sec retary of the Treasury. "The only seri ous complaint of the continued activity of the crimps have been those forwarded through the usual official channels from the owners of British. French and Ger man vessels. They have related almost wholly to conditions existing In a few Pa cific Coast ports, particularly Portland. Measures have been taken which It Is hoped will put an end to violations of the law in the case of crews of foreign ves sels clearing from that- port. "The matter of crimping concerns al most .directly municipal authorities." con tinues the report, "and local sentiment for the commerce of the port Is the great est sufferer. American vessels do not make Portland the base of operations. The Federal Government probably has no. power to regulate sailor boarding-houses, and their proper regulation by municipal authorities Is of importance to our in creasing foreign trade. Extortion or fraudulent prices by the proprietors of sailor boarding-houses, from the nature of the case, arc usually passably difilcult to detect and punish, and injure the com merce of the port which tolerates them. "None of our seaboard states appears to have laws for the regulation of sailor boarding-houses, and outside of sanitary inspection no seaport except New York has any municipal ordinances on the sub ject In New York regulations forbid keepers of boarding-houses to ship seamen for a vessel. The British regulations on the subject forbid the hoarding-house keeper to fell clothes or liquor to sea me'n." Hamilton Refused Pardon. ST. PAUL, Nov. 11.

To obtain a possible temporary relief; these words are used advisedly, because In nine cases out of 10 the affliction re turns and the patient Ir; just where he started from. Oftentimes he could be cured much more simply and easily by the use of such a remedy as the Pyramid Pile Cure: this has come to be recognized as the best remedy on the market for the painful disease named, and the druggists now t?ell mere of it than all other pile remedies combined.

"Some years ago I was stricken with nerv ous prostration cansed by overwork and worry. I was in such a weakened, exhausted, run down condition that I was unable to do my housework. felt too weak and tired to even make calls on my neighbors. Fre quently when out driving I would become so exhausted that it seemed that I would die before I reached home. I was "also troubled with sinking.spells at night which left me so weak that 1 thought I could not live until morning. I was in this deplorable condition when one day Dr. Miles' Nervine was brought to my'noticc. I had little faith in proprietary remedies bat determined to give the Nervine a trial. After the second dose of the Restorative Nervine I was able to sit at the table and eat a meal, something I had been unable to do for many days. I have since taken a number of bottles of Nervine. I consider myself cured. I am doing my own work and give Dr. Miles' Nervine credit for my general good health.
