THE MORNING OREGOKIAK, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1903. V 11 SITE FOR NEW DRYDOCK sn.rrnnv rv snnv nc MADC DV POUT OF 1'OItTLAXD. Worlr ot the DredRes In the Post Month Bark Alsternlxle Still Atrround Danenrn Spolien. Th rtf-rt Imnnrtant sublect for thO Port of Portland to take up will be the selection of a site for ite sectional dry dock, now bulldtns at Vancouver. A number of sites on both sides of the river, within the city limits and below It. have been considered by the board, and. borings have been made upon several of them to determine the nature of the ground. Up to the present time the board has not determined which of the many sites It will choooe. but may reach a con clusion noon. There is some disposition to put oil this matter of a selection of a nlte until k is known whether the Legis lature will change the personnel of the commission. In the event of a change, the members of the present board believe that the men who will have the responsibility of Installing and operating the new dock should have something to Bay as to where it Is to be located. According to the terms of the contract with Mr. Wakefield, the builder, the drydock Is to be ready for business by August 4, which does not leave much time for the preparation of a Kite for It. The big dredge Columbia, which has been located at Postorace bar since sne wjnt into commission, has about com- oletcd her work there, and will be moved down into the Columbia PJvcr in a few days. There Is some necessary dredging In the Columbia which Superintendent Lockwood is anxious to complete before hlEh water. The January statement of the opera tions of the two dredges, prepared ny Clerk Stevens, shows that the Columbia worked until the :1th, when she was compelled to shut down on account of the current and drift. In that time phe had DUt In 330 actual pumping hours, and moved altogether 2SS.O00 cubic yards of material. The Portland only resumed op erations on the ISth. and was forced by the freshet to shut down on tho 23d. The cost of operating the Columbia In Janii' ary was $3700. and the expenses of the Portland were J200. Commissioner Alfred Tucker, who has returned from a trip to Seattle, reports that the lug John McCraken. which will be lised 'fcs c tender for the dredges, will be completed and ready for her trial trip In about n month. The board at its reg ular monthly meeting yesterday ordered that S300 be paid to the Seattls builders, that being the amount due on the boat is far aa completed. ALSTEUXIXIE STILL AGROUND. Vothlng Accomplished Yesterday Toward Flnntlnsr the Dig Bark. ASTORIA, Or., Feb. 12. (Special.) Nothing was accomplished today toward Joatlng the stranded bark Alsternlxle. In fact, no work was done on her, and .aiay not be for eeveral days. A strain was kept on the line from her stern to the kedge anchor in the channel, but the pessel did not move perceptibly. The three tugs returned here tonight, bring' Ing all the longshoremen, and the crew Is camped on Sand Island, leaving the bark deserted. The vessel remains In practically the same position, except that she Is sinking more deeply into the sand. The intention now Is to drop three more anchors In deep water with cables run ning to the vessel, and place three addi tional engines on board. This is expected to provide sufficient strain to move the bark toward the channel after the bal last has been removed and some of the upper masU lowered. It will be several flays before these preliminaries can be Says Alstcrnlxlc "Will Be Saved, A. shipping man who came up from As toria yesterday is of the opinion that the Alstemlxie will be floated from her pres ent position without much trouble. He was down to Send Island and had a good view of the preparations being made to get her off. A gang of 30 longshoremen were aboard heaving out the ballast, and the ship seemed to be resting easily. There was 16 feet of water under her stern at low tide, and as the vessel entered the river drawing only 11 feet on an even keel, it looks as If she could be hauled off at high tide with part of ber ballast re moved.

After having been practically given un for lost, the British bark Dunearn, 224 days out from Cardiff for Sitka with coal. lias been crossed from the overdue' list in consequence of a telegram from Lon don that reported her being spoken near pucairn island,, in the South Pacific, on January 9.

(Remarks at the Philadelphia dinner of the National Civil Service Reform League.) Those of us who are actively at work for the thorough establishment of that most American of Institutions the merit system in the public service (popularly called civil service reform), are by no means aiming merely at a needed im provement In the methods of appoint ment to the lower offices; not merely at an Improvement in the Quality of the en- The side of the heavy I tire appointive service. The aim is the de- barge struck the cabin ot the steamer ; Ruth, which has been working on the sunken vessel, and, after doing some slight damage to the house of the other steamer, the Elmore and the barge drifted down stream until they brought up against the bank on a curve. One of the hog poets on the Elmore has parted. and the lumber which formed tho larger part of her cargo has drifted back Into the engine-room. Peter Carstcns, the master shipwright of the O. R. & N. Co.. who is in charge ot the raising ot the El more, believes that the steamer can be takcn.from her present position with lit tle difficulty. "Wyefleld Chnnstes Regis try. The large steamer Wyefleld, operated by the Rosentelds as a collier between Na naimo and San Francisco, has again been placed under the British flag, marking the second change in her registry within a few months. Some time ago, when it ap peared likely that the Danish West Indies would come into the possession ot the United States, the Wyefleld. as well as the steamer. Arab, changed her flag from British to Danish, in the expectation of coming under American registry, thus es caping the usual expensive cost of shift ing registry. Since the Danish islands are to remain Danish, the owners of the Wye field have again hoisted the British colors, following the usual legal steps In such cases. struction. with as near completeness as possible, of the vicious system 'of spoils and the elevation, by consequence, of the entire public service ot state and Union. As I understand It, we want to help create that more exigent public opinion which will raise the standard as to char acter of the incumbents of elective of fices from the city councilor or alderman all the way up. We even have our eyes upon the United States. Senate. We should like to see that branch of the civil service somewhat Improved. In fact, we think the improvement of tho United States Senate a very pressing and Import ant matter. We go so far as to think it a dangerous and menacing condition of things that the Senate should not be more generally &nd profoundly respected when it must have a hand in settling so many questions of burning importance in our time so many economic questions, whero there is need not only for wisdom, but for absolute disinterestedness and the ap pearance of It. I ask you, fellow citizens, is our Na tional Senatorial representation altogeth. er pure?

SEATTLE, Feb. 12. The Sound steamer Bay City was burned to the water's edge yesterday afternoon at Ballard, six miles from Seattle, with a loss of 175,000. The steamer was owned by W. H.

Traced by Means of Cnrrincc In Which They Drovt-JThey Made Fireman Carry Dynamite. BUTTE. Mont. Feb. 12. Sheriff Qulnn Is firmly convinced tonight that the robbers of the Burlington Flyer, no. 6, wmcn was robbed six miles out of the city limits this morning, reached Butte and are now hid ing In the city. From evidence Qulnn says he has he declares he will land the rob bers before eeveral days havo passed. While Sheriff Qulnn would not tell as to tho evidence In his hands. It Is believed he relies on finding the rubber-tired car riage used by the robbers in their escape. The tracks of the vehicle could be easily followed this morning until the well-traveled highways of the city were reached. A mask and empty cartridge shells dropped by the robbers arc in tne nanas ot tne police. The bloodhounds brought from the- Penitentiary this afternoon proved a lau- ure, and were returned to Deer Lodge tonight. Fireman Jondrow tonight said that tne train was stopped by bits of burning pa pers, nnd that within 33 minutes the rob bers had nlshed their work and wero on their way to Butte. He was forced to un couple the engine, mall and express cars from the remainder oi tne train ana carry the dynamite of tho robbers, while one of the bandits fired a bullet between Ids legs to hurry him. The express messenger tossea a package containing J300 Into a rack in the express car over his head, and the money was not discovered by the robbers. After the express messenger threw tne Dackace of money up In tho rack he jumped out of the car on tho other side. In the exchange of shots he Is said to have been hit by a bullet in tho nip. Dut ne and the other trainmen went on with tho train east after the robbery, and he was not hurt badly enough to causes him to re turn to Butte. ' Various estimates are made as to the booty secured by the robbers. It is Inti mated In some quarters that tne loss win run Into the thousands, despite tho asser tion of the railroad peoplo that not more than J500 was taken. William McCullagh. who was placed un der arrest this afternoon on suspicion of being one of tho robbers. Is still held by the police. In his belt the police found WS3.90. The officers are of the opinion that li- 11am McCullagh, who was placed under arrest this afternoon on suspicion of be ing Implicated In the robbery, had no connection with it Much suspicion was directed against tho man because of tho discovery" of a money belt upon his per son .containing 3150. about the sum the railway people declared was stolen from tho Burlington Flyer. Another odd fact Is that McCuIlagh's wealth was princi pally in JS0 and J100 bills, while the ex press package said to have been taken was made up of such bills. William Wlckam was taken into cus tody by Deputy Sheriff Haggerty this evening, but was released after Mall In spector Perkins had decided he was not one of the men. The police tonight placed another suspect under arrest, but refused to give his name or say anything regain ing tho case. It has developed that wnen tno en gines were being coupled to pull No. 6 out two suspicious-looking men were ob served by the trainmen. One of the two was a negro and he appeared to be slightly Intoxicated. This Is believed to be the same man who, the fireman de clares, shot between his legs and at that time gave him the impression that the robber was drunk. REWARD IS OFFERED.

But I, for one, main tain that there are' two classes of seats in that Senate which reflect highest honor upon tho American people the chairs filled by those men whose names will oc cur to all ot you, and who would be notable In any assembly for ability and character; and, also, those seats which doughty little Delaware state, I am proud to say, of my own ancestors fills with degnlfied, eloquent and thrice hon- oraole vacancy.

The principal incident of Mr. Hewitt's life was In 1341. when he and Edward Cooper were cast adrift in a leaky boat irom tne packet Alabama, which was wrecked In a fierce storm soon after leav ing the Mediterranean for New York. He showed so hlsh an order of heroism on that occasion that the Coopers took him into the bosom of their family, the lovely Sally, daughter ot the house, giving him her heart and hand. It was that awful experience at sea that caused Mr. Hewitt In later years never to risk the lives ot the several members of his family in a single vessel when a voyage to Europe was to bo made.

He came to Chicago in 1S31 and then began to build his new sect Christian 'Catholic church. His religious teachings have proved very unpopular in Illinois and Ohio. and tho Zionist elders are frequently stoned out ot towns where they are hold ing meetings.
