THE MORNING OEEGOSIAM; TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 3, 1903. WILL LOAD PAK LINC Government Charters Vessel to Carry Lumber to Manilla. REMAINDER OF BIG PURCHASE Stenmer Due In March to Tnlce 2,500,000 Feet Soiling of China Liner Inilrniaraba Delayed One Day. M. C. Chcai. representing Dodwell & Co., has taken a contract with the Gov ernment to transport ZCW.OOO feet of lum ber from Portland to Manila. The lum br will be carried on the biff steamer Pak Ling, which will begin loading here about March 7. This cargo Is tho overflow from the shipments Intended for the Quito and the Elleric. with some later purchases added. About 1.E00.GW feet of the cargo will be provided by the Pacific Export Lumber Company, and the remainder probably furnished by other lumber com panies of this city. The steamer Pak Ling Is now In Japan ese waters, and is duo here early In March. She boloncs to the China Mutual Steam Navigation Company, and has been running in the Dodwell line from Puget Sound to Liverpool, by way of Asiatic ports. GERMAN' SHIPBUILDING. Vroerens of Murine Construction of the 1Veer. Within a comparatively short time great things have been accomplished In Ger many In advancing her marine interests. "With a spirit of enthusiasm and with ex traordinary activity the builders and man agers of German steamship lines set out to build up a lle'et of merchantmen cap able of competing with that of any other nation. This progress has been effected largely within the last three decades. About the time that the Germans entered this field of building all those engaged in chip con . struction began to U3e steel and iron in stead of wood, and they were thus able to profit by the experience of others. Their unprecedented success has culminated in the two-screw steamer Kaiser Wllhelm IL which was recently built and launched at Stettin, and will start on Its maiden trip from Bremen to Nejv York on April 14, 1903. Not less than 11,000 tons of steel and Iron and other shipbuilding material were welded and riveted and hammered together at the Vulcan yards to form this latest ocean leviathan. Thirty years ago there were only seven shipyards In that country: today there are about CO, large and small. Fire are lo cated on the banks of the River Weser between Bremen and Bremerhaven. While they are not equal to building the very largest types of merchantmen and war 'vessels, they are fully equipped for turn ing out ordinary ocean-going vessels of every description. These five concerns have been crowded with orders during the past few years, and while many of the other industries are languishing, the Weser shipyards are all doing a prosper ous business, dividends ranging betwe'en 10 and 12 per cent having been declared at their last annual meetings. On the right bank of the River Weser. near Vegesack, are the extensive yards of the Vulcan Shipbuilding Company. This plant is entirely modern, with large capi tal and equipment. While It is not in a position to build and equip fast Atlantic ships of the largest type, as does its namesake at Stettin as the river channel at the frontage of the shipyards is not deep enough for vessels of this draft a number of good-sized steel vessels for ocean service were quite recently con structed by the Weser Vulcan. During the first six months of this year six ships were launched at these yards, and the firm has 17 other vessels under construction, -valued at about J3.SOS.000. At the end of its business year (May 6, 1902), the Tccklcnborg Company, at Bre merhaven, capitalized at $176,000, paid a dividend of 10 per cent. This concern was occupied to its utmost capacity during the entire year, and the repair and drydocks were continually In use. Six double-screw freight and passenger steamers and two very large sailing vessels were building, of which three steamers and one sailing vessel 'were delivered to the owners. This firm is famous all the world over for build ing sailing craft, and the vessel completed a few weeks ago Is probably the largest In the world. Her name is Preussen. She is a five-masted, full-rigged steel vessel, steel-sparred throughout. Her length is 40 feet; beam, 50 feet. She has a carry ing capacity of SCOO tons, while her regis tered tonnage Is 4000. Recently she started on her first voyage to the west coast of South America. At the close of its busi ness year this company had four vessels tinder construction, and orders were booked for one lighter, one fishing steam er for the high seas, and one sailing ves cel. The Rlckmers Rbederel & Schlffbau Company, at Bremerhaven, has three small steamers under construction. The entire stock of this company is held by members of the Rlckmers family. The G. Seebeck Company, at Bremer haven, closed Its seventh business year on June 30, 1902, when a -dividend of 10 per cent was declared. These works have also been very busy, especially in con structing steamers for fishing on the high seas. Three of these were completed dur ing the year, while 11, representing a value of XS33,000, are still under construction. During the same period they built two passenger and freight steamers for East Asiatic coast service, one steamer for the Australian line, and one tugboat, all for the North German Lloyd Steamship Company. In the last seven years this company has rullt 192 ships, of which 23 stfamers wero lor the North German Lloyd. ST. PAUL'S ROL'GII PASSAGE. Delayed Before Starting, Bad Weath er Also Holds Her BacU. NEW YORK. Feb. 2. The American liner St. Paul arrived today from South ampton and Cherbourg, having been de layed by extremely bad weather. The steamer left Southampton at noon Janu ary 24, and soon after a crack was found In one of the cylinder caps. The defect proved bo serious that Captain Jamison decided to have It repaired before pro ceeding. After a delay of 10 hours the necessary repairs were made and the ateamer- got under way again. The St. Paul arrived at Cherbourg at 1:47 A. M., January 23, too late to take on passengers. She was therefore obliged to wait for day light, finally passing out of the harbor at 7:32 in tho morning. From the Channel the steamer ran- into stormy weather, -which continued without cessation throgh puL Heavy southwest and west gales prevailed, with southwesterly swells, mak ing a very rough passage. DELAYED ONE DAY. Longshoremen Would Not Work nt NIcht So Indruainhn Did Not Sail. The Oriental liner indrasamha did not get away yesterday morning, as was ex pected. She was moved down to the O. R. & N. dock, at Alblna. Sunday morn ing, and it was thought that nil her cargo would be in her by Sunday night so that she could sail at daybreak. However, after working hard with the cargo all day Sunday, the longshoremen declined to put in any overtime and knocked off work late In the afternoon. There was no strike, mid no III feeling shown, but the men declined to overwork themselves and quit. The result was that the nailing of the steamer was delayed a day. The company officials' were annoyed that the men should have taken this action with out notifying them earlier in the day. so they could have had an extra crew ready, but there was nothing to do but shut down operations. Yesterday the full forc of longshoremen were on hand, and they had the ship loaded before darlf. Captain Craven expects to leave down at daylight this morning. OFF THE STRAITS.

KnnR.uj fMrv Rtnr Kansas City people who vlrft Jefferson ' WILL TAKE LUMBER TO SIBERIA. Clty and Kansas City members of' the Lcgislatuie who are at the capital tell stories of the big gambling games played there that .surprise them and their friends. From these stories it would appear thvt mere is at least one place in Missouri where the Johnson .law against gambling Is not enforced, and that Is the capital of tho state. For a long time Joplln was noted throughout the fttate as the place where faro, roulette. "crapV' poker and chuck-a-Iuck flourished. But the last election brought results that closed the Joplln gambling resorts and now Jefferson City seems to be the place where games flour ish lXft. One man. who wai at the capital last week, said, in telling his friends: "As near as I can figure it out there are games for different sized pocketbooks. Some of the larger hotels have clubrooms t aside for thrJIO f-H m r J nirt (ham I. . c ....aw a,atrii. variety of games. These places are pat- lu.iiaviu mostly oy tne visitors.

Tho Senators play poker In their room. Members of the House are more likely to patronize the public games and many of the clerks may be seen at the clubrooms every night. It Is said that two years ago more than a dozen clerks, who came to Jcffer.on City thinking they would go home with their pockets lined with money actually borrowed their railroad fare home" and what Is still worse, some of "them came back this year without having paid It. "To a city man it is not so very re markable that men should want to play in these games, for Jefferm City is not a place of many attractions. Yet it has al ways seemed odd to me that the biggest games In the state should be played with the Governor often In the same building and very often with lawmakers taking part In them. Early in the rcsslon these lawmaker. who do play get Into games and lose money. Later In the scoslon they arc ready to vote for the most se vere measures to-stop gambling MlfHouri has eome of the most severe antl-gambling laws of any state in the Union. In fact. It Is one of the few states that make gambling a penitentiary of fense. And yet you can go to the capital of the state and find games running wide open not more than a block from the ex ecutive manslpn." The? Jingoes nnd the Canal. Philadelphia North American. The German government has notified the United States In the very nick of time of the falsity of the rumor that It was seeking to acquire possession of the Panama canal. Some of those untamable Jingoes at Washington had about deter mined to add another postscript to tho Monroe Doctrine, and had even persuaded themselves that President Roosevelt was with them. Their warning against tres passing was to be set up not only against the Kaiser, but against all forelsnei.. rulers and subjects. To be sure, the un lucky French stockholders had been per. mltted to sink their millions to bad pur pose In the isthmus, but the precedent would not hold If perchanco German cap italists wanted to take over the property. Of course these manifestations of acute Jingoism among Congressmen are not to bo taken too seriously. They can be predicted to arrive with fair regularity So long as the State Department lets the negotiations with Colombia drag their weary length from year to year tho Jin goes will be particularly subject to those nervous attacks. No doubt. If Secretary Hay were to bestir himself, there would be ffiWer rumors of German designs against the Isthmus.- But to all appear ances he Is still marking time In the eamo spot where he stood when the canal bill wag passed 12 monthi ago.

Until then Tillman', cowardly crime will tand as a warning to -the Journalists of the state that no writer may dare to op pose the ambitions of any political ruffian save at tho risk of his-own life. MRS. WU IS NOT COMING CHANGES HER 3IIND ABOUT VISIT ING PORTLAND. Wife of ex-Chinese Minister Is n Mnrtjr to Anglo-Saxon Fashions. The Journey of Madame Wu Ting Fang, wife of China's well-known Ambassador to the United States, who is on her way from Washington to Join her husband In Pekln, will not pay a visit to Portland, as was expected. Her husband sailed for the Orient four weeks ago, and a number of the Chinese Legation, which had served with him at Washington, re mained in this country to arrange a trip for Madame Wu that would take in all the cities on the Pacific Coast. The Chinese Consuls and all the Chlnrttj colo nics have been making preparations for some time to do her honor. But Madame Wu will not come to Port land, and she sailed from San Francisco yesterday with the announcement to her disappointed countrymen that her feet hurt her too much to permit her to make the trip that had been arranged. The tiny feet which climbed the gansnlank of the steamer yesterday are an Inch and a half longer than they were when Madame Wu came to tha United States, and Madame Wu is very proud of the fact, but itlil they are not In shape for travel in Amer ican fashion. When Wu Ting Fang took his wife to Washington six yearn ago her feet were tightly bandaged In accordance with the custom of Chinese women of high caste. But as soon as the 'little lady began to understand the ways of Western civiliza tion ehe longed to bo free to walk and dance and use her feet as nature had In tended she should do. Madame Wu speaks English, Is bright and genial, and Wash ington society fell in love with the win some Oriental woman. She was the guct of many dinners and entertainments and it was while In this whirl of social life that Madame Wu resolved to remedy aa fas as possible the Inconvenient conse quences of the bandaged feet custom. Chlncso ladles do not suffer from their email feet as long as the bandages are se cure and they refrain from active life. Madame Wu determined to endure the tortures In order to have the us of her feet. The toes were turned under and pressed against the ball of the foot. Very gradually the bandages were loosened nnd little by little the stunted toes were al lowed to resume their normal position. Every day the feet were treated with al cohol and herbs, until the soreneta disap peared and they could be laid out flat. Madame Wu had everything done to strenthen the ankles, and In time she was able to walk without support or bandagca "My feet are quite big now," she said the other day to a San Francisco reporter as ohe surveyed them critically In the drawing-room of the Consulate. "But I do not care, for I am not In sympathy with the little-foot practice of my country. It is unnatural and deprives a woman of so much that Is beautiful and useful In life. It makes her dependent, too. and what chance has a woman to develop who la hampered In this way? I like to think my feet are of a size proportionate to my height, and indeed I wish they were! Then people would not scrutinize me as they do now and run to see me enter my carriage. "Yes, I have Chinese 'slippers on now, but when I go out I wear American shoes. I find them moro comfortable for walking. What size of American shoes do I wear? What a funny question. Really, I cannot answcr,t because my American shoes had to be made to order. I tried but I could not get any to lit. "There are many American customs which I like and shall introduce In China. The Chinese women are eager to take their placo In life along with the women of other nations, and I hope It will not be long before they will be given a reason able amount of freedom. The Chinese girls have not enough freedom, but my ob servation has been that the American girls have too much. I love the American girl In the abstract with her freshness and originality, but Indeed rfie has more lib erty than is good for her! Do you not think It would be better If she did not laugh and Joke so much with the gentle men; if she were always attended by an older woman?" RECENTHISTORYRECALLED Is the Voice From Clntsop Kin to the Hand of Esauf SALEM, Or., Feb. 1. (To the Editor.) "A voice from Clatsop," shouting In tho Interest of Mr. Fulton, somewhat vigor ously denounces the methods by which Mr. Dolph was defeated for a re-election la 1S33, nnd again defeated Mr. Corbett four years ago. The writer of this plea asserts that if Mr. Dolph had been re elected, none of this shoillng of the Col umbti River would have been possible But Is It forgojten that Mr. Dolph was defeated because he was a "goldbug." and that for the purpose of accomplishing his dbfeat all the men In the Republican party who believed in Bryan'3 15-to-l free-liver policy, of which band Mr. Fulton was a conrplcuous leader.

Some other people are making this same assumption, but it is noticeable that while they are In many cases those who favored and even voted i for the Mays law. the names of alleged popular candidates were withheld from the people.

"The Voice From Clatsop" must be .close kin to the hand of Esau. JOHN G. DAVIS. MR. MARSHALL A MARVEL More Llcht on the Latest Dcvelop- incuts ot the tVhitmnn Myth- PORTLAND. Feb. 2.-(To the Editor.) The reviews and criticisms from the pens of Rev. Eells and Mr. Marshall that have appeared In The Oregonlan during the last few months have been very Interest ing to our readers because of the author ities they cite and quote from. Really the amateur student of history Is beginning to get some of the real evidence behind .this Whitman Myth controversy. In this last review by Rev. Eells (Oregonlan of January IS) are several instances of ac tual misquotation or wrong Inference that should not appear In the writings of a man of the writer's standing. Some of these are the following: Joint Occupancy. One of the strong points raised against the claims In behalf of Dr. Whitman Is that during the contin uance of the treaties of "Joint policy." passed In ISIS and 1S27, neither the migra tion of 1S13 or of any other year could strengthen the legal standing of the Unit ed States In the least. Nor could tho establishment of trading posts and settle ments by the Hudson's Bay Company strengthen the English claim. Mr. Mar shall. In his Interview (Oregonlan, Septem ber 3, 1S03). emphasized this as follows: "But the very terms .of those treaties made such strengthening of her claims Impossible, a position not only always held by our diplomatists and Presidents who negotiated on the Oregon question . . . but also tacitly admitted by all the British diplomatists who negotiated on It . . . and also explicitly assented to by Lord Aberdeen (head of tho British For eign Office from 1S11 to 1S15) in two Inter views with Edward Everet." etc. Rev. Mr. Eells. In his last review (Oregonlan. January 18. 12CC,) replies to this as follows: "It may have been so, but In the same sentence he (Marshall) answers this ques tion by saying 'It was a position not al ways held by our diplomatists nnd Presi dents who negotiated on the Oregon ques tion. Mo3t certainly then. If they gnvo up. England did actually strengthen her claims In this way, notwithstanding the terms of the treaty." It will be observed that Rev. Mr. Eells omits entirely tho word "only" In his quotation from Mr. Mar shall, and thus twists the arguments .Into his own favor, it may dc suggcsteti iur- New Sights and Scenes Will be good for you. " Do you know about those new personally conducted through Pullman tourist excursions inaugurated by the Oregon Railroad & Navigation Company between Portland, St. Louis and Memphis?

Entire trip without change of car. a H S a Third and "Washington Streets, Portland. ii . 4- a ' i J T V visit every land and everywhere will find, are well Informed, have neither tho tltao - i 'int. ther thnt Rev. Mr. Eells should not say, "It may have been so"; he Is continually referred to bythe president of Whitman College as being the highest living author ity upon Oregon history, and as such he should know and admit that the treaties did contain such terms. Dr. Elijah White. Another strong point made against the Whitman story Is that Dr. Elijah White. In lSli. did at Washing ton and in the Middle and Western States Just what Dr. Whitman Is said to have done the year following, and that various members of the '43 migration, who, after 40 years or more have elapsed, thought they remembered seeing Whitman or reading something he wrote probably merely confused the two doctors. Mr. Marshall. In his review, devoted about one-fourth of a column to Dr. White, and Rev. Mr. Eells replies as follows (Orego nlan, January IS. 1933): "It Is possible that a few people In the East, who deemed Ore gon a foreign country, mayo have con founded the two persons, but to say that Messrs. Gelger. HInman. Gray, Walker, C. Eells. Lovejoy, Barrows and others did so, who were well acquainted with one or both personally or by reputation, is sim ply preposterous." The writer has looked in vain for the above names in this con nection In the review by Mr. Marshall In The Oregonlan of September 3, 1002. or for nny suggestion of them. Messrs. Gelger, Gray. Walker and C. Eells were already In Oregon; Mr. Lovejoy came out with Dr. White In 1S12, and returned Immediately with Dr. Whitman, and Mr. HInman came in 1S14. and says he was Induced to come by some man by the name of Ford, and never knew Dr. Whitman until he reached Oregon; and It is not possible for any of them to have been Influenced by either of the two doctors. However. Dr. Silas Reed and Judge Otis, who have been freely quoted by Rev. Mr. Eells as having seen Dr. Whitman, have admitted that they saw Dr. White Instead; and President L. G. Tyler now says that he thinks' his brother. John J. Tyler. Jr., must have referred to Dr. White Instead of to Dr. Whitman. Migration of 1812. In his review. Rev. Mr. Eells says: "Remember now that tho Immigrants of 1S42 numbered only about 12." Professor Young estimates the num ber as between ICS and 137, and Mr. Mar shall has It at 112. Wrong Inference. The reviews by Rev. Mr. Eells at this time, and also his reply to Bourne that was published and distributed by Whitman College last Summer, have been very sarcastic as to the rejection by Bourne and Marshall of evidence that Is based upon memory, and made It appear that these gentlemen reject everything that Is not In writing at the time. A reader of Bourne nnd Marshall can easily sec that this criticism is extreme; they both admit much evidence of that char acter, but claim to accept as more true or probable that which Is supported by written evidence against that which Is not so supported. They say the missionary purpose of Whitman's Journey Is support ed by written evidence of the strongest kind, and the political motive by none. Mr. Marshall. There Is no need for the writer to defend Mr. Marshall; he Is blessed with a very sharp pen. and will look out for himself very well. But It Is proper to say In connection with the clos ing part of Rev. Mr. Eells" review that Mr. Marshall visited Portland last Summer to verify and ndd to his data, and that. In order to see the original Spalding Jour nal, he had to visit the home of Rev. Mr. C.
