i. THE MORNING 'OBEGONIAN, . SATOTDAY, JUNE 13, 1903. DELAYED BY STORMS Cargo Steamer Oakley Has Rough Trip. BUTIPROVES A FIWE SEAB0AT Biff Freighter Brlnprs C500 Ton ot Steel Rail for the Southern Pa--clflc Willamette Is Xenrly at It Highest Stage. The British steamship Oakley, a fine Epeclmen o a modern steel freighter, ar rived up at 10 o'clock yesterday morning: and found a berth at the Southern Pacific dock, -where sho -will discbarge railroad Iron. The steamship comes from Ham burg, having made the passage In SO days. Stormy weather "was encountered, which delayed her somewhat, as did a forced stay in the Straits of Magellan. Not withstanding the gales she ran into, the Oakley proved herself a fine sea boat, behaving splendidly throughout. Not once while under way were the engines stopped except by order from the bridge. The Oakley sailed from Hamburg March 2L "Very bad weather was en countered at the start, and she was 20 Jiours behind time in reaching Madeira, where she stopped March 30 to coal, ieavlng Madeira the same night, she had strong head winds for three days, and then fine weather to the Plata. Strong winds were encountered in the Straits of Magellan, and the cargo worked heavily all the time. The ship entered the straits May 1, not getting out until the 4th. Ow ing to the bad weather outside, she lay at anchor most of the time In Fortescue Bay. Leaving the straits, the steamer ran into a succession of strong gales and la bored heavily with water sweeping the decks until May 9, when the storm abat ed. Coronel was reached the following day, and there the Oakley took on 2000 tons of coal In nine hours, a feat never before accomplished In such short time at that port. Leaving Coronel on the 11th, the weather was generally favor able until the ship was abreast of San Francisco Heads Sunday last. There the wind was strong, causing the vessel to roll heavily. On Monday dense fog was encountered, and on Tuesday night at :S0 the Oakley was off the lightship at the mouth of the Columbia, crossing in the following morning. This is the second voyage of the steam er. She was built at "West Hartlepool In 1801, and Is owned by Messrs. "Wrey, of Belfast. The same owners have eight other steamers, three of" them 7000 ton ners. The Oakley brings in 5500 tons of dead weight on a registered tonnage of 2456. She Is 2S0 feet long. 49.6 feet beam and 23 feet deep. Captain "William "Wis nom is in command of the vessel, and her other officers are: First officer, W. Xi. Newton; second officer, R. Smyth; third officer, "W. Johnson; chief engineer, H. Husdall; second engineer, A. King; third engineer, J. McMaster; fourth en gineer, Speiro Manazeas. The cargo of the Oakley consists of 13,760 steel rails and 250 cases of beer and stout The rails are consigned to the Southern Pacific The work of discharg ing will begin this morning, and will re quire about ten days' time. The vessel has not yet been chartered for the out ward voyage. TRANSPACIFIC TRADE GROWING. San Francisco Linen Propone to In crease Their Equipment. SAN FRANCISCO, June 12. The Pacific Mall Steamship Company, by putting on vessels of the class ot the Siberia and the Korea on the Asiatic run, has stirred up the other trans-Pacific carrying com panies running out of this port. The Toyo KIsen Kalsha has already given or ders for three new steamers, each with a gross displacement of 15,000 tons, and now It Is reported that the Occidental & Ori ental Company intends increasing Its transportation facilities. It Is proposed to j.ut the steamer Germanic on the run be tween this port and the Orient, and she will possibly replace the Gaelic, which for several years has been running out of this harbor. The Pacific Mall Steamship Company, even with the addition of the Siberia and Korea to Its fleet, has not been able to cope with the trade that has been of fered between San Francisco and Ori ental ports, and It has purchased two more boats of about the same size and equipment as its two new steamers now on the run. The new boats expect to compete with the line that the Great Northern Railway Is about to inaugurate with a fleet of new and large steamers from ports on Puget Sound to Oriental waters. WILL RISE A FOOT MORE. High-Water Mark for This Year May Be Reached Monday. The Willamette will rise about one foot more and then come to a stand. "What it will do after that Is uncertain, but the chances are two to one that It will fall. The stage of the river herd yesterday was 22.3 feet. Tomorrow it will be 23.2 feet, and by Monday it will stand at 23.5 feet. That -will probably be the high water mark for the 1903 flood. .The weather yesterday morning over the Columbia and Snake River basins was cooler and showery. The Snake fell two tenths of a foot at Lewlston and was stationary farther up. The rise in tho Columbia was also checked, "Wenatchee reporting an advance of but one foot and Northport 1.5 feet. At Umatilla the river only came up one-tenth of a foot, and at The Dalles eight tenths, where it 'will come to a stand today. Loch Torrldon Maketi Fast Passage. SAN FRANCISCO, June 12. The British ship Loch Torrldon arrived today from Newcastle, Australia, making the trip in almost steamship time. She crossed the ocean In 44 days, making the best passage in 16 years, and one of the smartest on record. The Marie Molenas, a recent ar rival, consumed 107 days in making the eame trip. Marine Notes. The Alsternlxe will probably complete her cargo of piles today. The steamer Alliance left last night for &an ranclsco, via Coos Bay and Eureka, with general cargo. The Duquesne. at Montgomery No. 2, and the Clair McFarlane, at Oceanic, loaded wheat yesterday. Tho steamer Homer "left down at 6 o'clock last night, bound for Cape San chef, Alaska, with lighthouse material . The steamer Aberdeen sailed for San .tTancisco yesterday afternoon with 550 000 feet of lumber, loaded at Inman Poulsen & Co.'b mill. The steamer Glenola has been sold by Captain C. O.. Hill to the Oregon Round Lumber Company, and will be put into ecj-vice us u lowooai on toe river. Domeatlo and Foreign Ports. ASTORIA. Juno 12.

Japan, May 19. (Special 'corre spondence.) Many If not all foreigners visiting the exhibition, which is consid ered and no doubt Is the largest and most comprehensive ever held in Japan, and which In Its mike-up Js semMnterna tlonal, though originally only contem plated as a domestic exhibition, wonder why It is held in this city. From their view the point is well taken, for the hotel accommodations for foreigners are con fined to one hostelry of 27 rooms only; the rest of this large building is devoted en- for this city. He endowed the citizens "with special privileges, placing them un der the direct administration of the Sho gunate, which seemed to have been a great distinction, and which induced the Dalmyos to erect storehouses, where the productsmainly rice of their respective clans we're brought and sold through tho Osaka merchants, naturally giving the city a commercial power and Increasing prosperity, which they enjoyed for sev eral centuries. "When the seat of govern ment was transferred to Tokyo then known as Yedo the commercial suprem acy of Osaka, seemed to be in jeopardy, but the industrial capacity, push and en ergy of the people enabled them to retain Its position as the chief commercial cen ter of Japan. Foreign trade increased, and they begun to realize that if they wlshed to hold this supremacy they must construct a suitable harbor for" the ships of all nations to enter. Permission was obtained from the government to con struct such a harbor at the enormous ex pense of 22,000,000 yen. There Is no doubt, when finished and it Is nearlng comple tionthe Osaka harbor will be one of the most complete constructions of Its kind in the world. planted just outside of our building, are not only larger and richer in coloring, but more perfect In form, than" I ever saw them bloom in Oregon, favored" as she is. The only defect, even in imported roses, is little or no fragrance, the cause of which I cannot explain, nor have been able to find out, but, as the olfactory nerves of the far Eastern people are not -developed to any marked degree, and for other rea sons, perhaps best they. are not. It does not i matter, for. the people cherish and admire them just the same. Every morn ing one sees carts loaded with cut flowers of all descriptions and colors, drawn through the streets by vendors, and scarcely a house Is passed, yes. not even a hovel, where poverty reigns and 10 sen (5 cents) means a day's hard labor, but some child comes out, at the usual cry of "Hana waye," with a 1-sen copper in Its hand to buy a little bunch of four or five flowers, which at this time generally con sists of a Sweet "William, pink, marigold.

Two men are dead, one is missing and several injured as the result of an explosion of a large quantity of powder in the drying-house of the "Weldy Powder Company, near Mon terey, today. tlrely to Japanese. And again the very narrow streets, which would hardly be considered alleys In America, being mostly ten to 15, . seldom over 20 feet In width, with no sidewalks, are usually congested with the handcarts, loaded with merchan dise, making pedestrianism, impossible, scarcely possible for jinrickshas, and these streets are all dust or all mud, according to the weather; for four months past principally mud. But they forget that the exhibition was not created for foreign visitors, but as has been very naively stated In the invitations to foreign na tions, by the Department of Agriculture, under whose auspices this exhibition is held, to bring especially "machinery and electrical appliances, so our people may see and learn the advancement made In science. Incidentally the education, of Japanese manufacturers is an object. .Osaka is the largest manufacturing city In Japan today, and was therefore chosen as the exposition site. A very short history of Osaka will not only be Interesting but instructive, and shows what the energy, push and intelli gent endeavor of a people fan do. The earliest authentic .record In existence re fers to Osaka as the landing place of a great expedition under the first Emperor Jinmu, about 660 B. C. In 213 A. D., Em peror Nlntoku made the city his capital, constructing roads, leading Into different Interior points, and opening canals. But It was not until 1492 A. D., when the dis tinguished Abbot Rennio established the Honganjl Temple here (still In existence), which made it a great religious center, from which date the city began to in crease In power and wealth. However, the real foundation for the prosperity and Importance of Osaka is credited to tho great genius Talko Hldsyoshl, making this city his seat of power, for he saw that owing to the geographical position of Osaka he could easily dominate the Dai myos of the south and west, and then built the famous castle here in 15S3, a fine example of Japan's ancient architectural art. He also -undertook a general im provement, laying out new streets, open ing more canals, causing wealthy mer chants to Immigrate here and establish ing a generally sound commercial basis Osaka has steadily Increised to a popu lation of 1,000,000 people. In round numbers, of which only 93 are foreigners; the. city covers an area of 22 square miles, has S3" streets and 532 bridges, as the city Is cris crossed by canals, the highways for the transportation of merchandise. Even so recently as IS yeare ago, I am assured, the city had hardly any factories worth mentioning, while at the present time there are some 5000 factories, with over 2000 chimneys, and the bucket brig ade consists of some 60,000 men and wom en; besides, there are 20,000 weaving es tablishments, with over 20,000 hand looms, which turn out 3,500,000 pieces of cotton cloth per annum. The total quantity of merchandise handled In Osaka last year was 5,722,431 tons, valued at 4S4.56S.919 yen, the export and Import of which are nearly equally divided. Space forbids a more extensive description of the possibilities for foreign trade, for, as stated above. It shows what the energy, pull-together and Intelligent endeavor can do, a lesson which may well be studied in Portland, as she Is similarly situated. There Is no doubt that most of the shipping now going Into Yokohama to the north and Kobe to the south of here will center In Osaga, making It the Chicago and New York of the far East; hence the Fifth National Industrial Exhibition is held in Osaka. Admissions Are Increasing;. The exhibition is steadily growing In popularity, as attested by the Increasing attendance, notwithstanding the continu ous unfriendly weather. Yesterday (Sun day) the visitors numbered 64,555, includ ing 327 Americans and Europeans. The total number to date Is 2,435,2S1, a dally average of 31,629 admissions. The admin istration figured on a total attendance of 3,000,000 people, to place the exhibition on a paying basis, which now, however, bids fair to be doubled, assuring it not only an educational and commercial but a financial success. The Love of Flowers. Japan has been justly called the Flowery Kingdom, for nowhere seem flowers to grow In such profusion nor so perfect a3 here. Even the blossoms of the little fruit trees I brought from Portland, which are form It tastes not unlike sherry, and in toxicating only when used in large- quan tities. The consumption of beer is rapid ly gaining; some half-dozen large brew eries, situated in different parts of Japan, brew a very palatable article, and as' it is sold for 5 sen (24 cents) a glass, will not only make It a popular beverage; but will make the Importation of foreign beer limited. Speaking of beer recalls to my mind several ludicrous signs on some Jap anese eating-houses, just outside of the exhibition ground. One reads. "Reposal Hall," and another "Salvation Army Res teran Klrrln Beer," rather inconsistent. Klmonn AkhIii in Style.

The object of this number, which, through the kindly offices of S. Takagi, local Consular repre sentative of His-Imperial Japanese Maj esty, will be given a wide distribution among the Government officials, repre sentative newspapers and leading manu facturing and mercantile houses of Japan, is to show to the Japanese government the benefits to be derived from closer commercial relations with the Pacific Coast and the importance of making a creditable exhibit at the Lewis and Clark Fair in this city In 1905. Mr. Takagi has himself consented to prepare an article upon the value of the 1905 Fair to his country from an exposi tion standpoint. Rev. T. L.
