16 TlIE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1906. BIG REDUCTION IN F Northwest Steamship Com panies Combine for Lower Rates to the Orient. TO GO IN EFFECT JANUARY 1 Cut Made for the Purpose of Shut ting Out Japanese Tramps From the Westward Wheat and Flour Trade. Freight rates on flour and wheat be tween Pacific Northwest ports and the Orient have been cut $1 per ton to Shanghai and 60 cent per ton to Hong kong and Japanese ports. The new schedule will go into effect January 1. Rates prevailing at the present time are $5 to Shanghai, $4.50 to Hongkong and 4 to Yokohama, Nagasaki and Kobe. This move effects the Portland & Asiatic Steamship Company and all reg ular line boats from Sound cities. Ori ental liners from San Francisco will not be effected. The C. P. K. boats are in on the cut. This move on the part of the steam ship companies is construed to bo a direct measure to drive the Japanese tramps from the Westward wheat and flour trade. The first of the latter to load here Is the Shlbata Maru, now at this port without a crew. At the pres ent time five other Japanese steamers are headed for here and the Sound. They bring passengers to Honolulu and then come to this coast for wheat and flour. There Is big money In the coolie trade and it Is said the boats flying tbe Mikado's flag carry to Jap anese ports for about 3. Several years ago the American companies made war on the China Commercial Company and rates dropped to $1 per ton. The experience of the Shlbata Maru In Portland has been none of the best and It Is not likely that she will re turn to this Coast for a cargo. Up to date she has lost all her fireman and most of her crew. Twenty-five of her little brown men have decided to stay in this country and have deserted. It will be a difficult matter to secure a crew of Japanese, and white sailors will cost the company some money. In addition the coal shortage has played a conspicuous part. Fuel fcr the re turn voyage Is now aboard, however, and the steamer will go to the stream tomorrow. In contrast to the reduction of Ori ental freights, the Coast companies have advanced rates to Mexico and Central American ports from Portland from $7 to $8.50 per ton for wheat and flour. From San Francisco to Los An geles the first-class rate has been ad vanced from 52 cents to 54 cents, and other classes In proportion. At the present time Coast shipments are unusually heavy. The Portland & Asiatic Company has all space engaged for the next two sailings, and shippers will receive the benefit of the cut. ' MEETING ON PENNSYLVANIA. Kebellion Almost Causes Wrecking of Overdue Alaskan Liner. SEATTLE, Wash,, Dec. 20. The over due steamer Pensylvanla arrived In port last night at 11:20 o'clock. She brought 82 passengers, a great quantity of ore and a fortune In gold dust, all of which, with the crew, was In jeopardy during a trip from Valdez that consumed almost 11 days. She was buffeted by storms when making but two knots an hour because of defective boilers, and at one time was within a quarter mile of rocks. No word of the Pennsylvania was re ceived until she reached port for the reason that she came down the inside passage after having made Queen Char lotte Sound. The Pennsylvania boilers went wrong and several heavy storms were encoun tered. At times as low as two and rarely more than four knots an hour was pos sible, with the main boiler being able to carry only 60 pounds of steam. Thirty of the crew of the Bteamshlp mutinied on the night of December 12, and It was owing solely to the command of the master. Captain J. F. Blaln, that the mutiny was quelled. When nearlng Cat el la. Captain Blaln ordered one man to do a piece of work. He refused. Captain Blaln then put him in irons and locked him below. At the time' a terrllic gale was blowing, which made it difficult for the master and pilot to remain on the bridge. Suddenly the crew came to the foot of the bridge in a body. There were between 80 and 40 of them. They demanded the re lease of their comrade. Captain Blaln faced them alone and ordered them back to their posts. Just at this time the pilot cried out, ."Breakers ahead" and the captain re turned to his bridge. The crew finally went aft. An armed guard was sta tioned over the $300,000 treasure and officers with revolvers patrolled the deck. Passengers went to the captain and offered assistance either against the men or to aid in the operation of the vessel. The men, however, did not make any more demonstrations. LUMBER EXPORTS .

Word has been received that the stranded British bark Peter Iredale has broken her back and will now be a total loss.

The Currier recently arrived at Manila with a cargo of lumber from Everett, and Is due to reach this port about the middle of next March. t , Wind Hampers River Navigation.

Mr. Royal is 86 years old. Dr. Osmon Royal reported yesterday that the aged pioneer was slightly improved and able to sit up. The outcome of his sickness cannot be predicted. Rev. John FUnn, now of Van couver, Wash., and Rev. C. O. Hosford are the other survivors of the first con ference, which was organized with- Wil liam Roberts, David Leslie, A. F. Waller. James W.

He was one of the first pastors of Centenary Church, of Portland. MINISTERS AS PREACHERS Not Bound by the Gospels to Iiook After tlie Poor. PORTLAND, Dec. 18. (To tha Editor.) I wish to refer to an rtfeusivn and Ignorant attack In last Sunday's Oregontan by James M. Level, upon the ministers of the gospel. True, Mr. Level did not challenge a lay man, much less a lay woman, to produce certain evidence from the New Testament. I wish him to have it, however, and fear ing that the ministers will not think it worth their while to respond, X take it upon myself to do so. If Mr. Level will turn to 1 Co ix:14, he will find these words: "Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel, shall live of the gospel." Is not that to the point? More than once did Paul re mind the churches that it was his privilege to live solely by contributions from them, and always, as In the above instance, fol lowed an explanation why he had not chosen to do so. If Mr. Level will turn to Acts vi.2-4, he will there find 'evidence" why ministers should not spend their time looking after tha poor and needy. What said the 12 apostles?" It Is nxt reasonable that we should leave the word of God, to serve tables. But we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word." They did, however, appoint others to at tend to the needs of the poor and neglected ones, and the ministers o today are doing the same thing. I would advise any man who does not wish to make himself appear to be ridiculous In the eyes of an enlightened community, to better acquaint himself with the New Testament a Mr. Level has done before submitting to a class of men who are stu dents of that book, & public challenge. MRS. REYNOLDS. Echo of Murray-Whitney Case. JUNCTION CITY, Or., Dec. 18. (To the Editor.) I am a father of a family, and must say for the benefit of Rev. R. C. Black well, who found so much to say against the verdict In the Murray-Whitney case, that if he would pay more attention to the law of religion and not pay so much time to law cases, his congregation would be the gainer both spiritually and morally. Now the commandment "thou shalt not kill," Is meant to keep us from commit ting useless acts of violence. But place this same religious critic in the position of Mur ray, who shot Whitney, or even in that of Murray's father he would have pursued the same course as he is now finding fault with. I would not like to have him for my spiritual adviser, because his religion and mine would never meet on the same footing. C ASHLEY. SUNDAY TRIPSTO SEASIDE The A. & C. R. R.

Fifty young wo men students ot Washington Seminary at Washington, Pa., one of the most fash ionable institutions of the kind In Western Pennsylvania, left for their homes last night on their Christmas vacation, all suf fering mire or lees from hysteria, follow ing the discovery of many petty thefts and the subsequent method of the princi pal to find the culprit. The thefts were committed In one of the dormitories and teachers as well as stu dents suffered. Articles of wearing ap parel, as well as money and Jewelry, have been missing over a period of a week. Yesterday, when it came time to dismiss the school, the boarders in the dormitory were summoned to the chapel, where the principal announced that not a' student would be allowed to depart until they and their rooms had been searched. Teachers began their disagreeable duty, and one of them was notified that a stu dent who had reported a to bill stolen had found the bill crumpled up and lying within the door of the room, where it had apparently been thrown in a hurry. Other reports of the hasty return of stolen prop erty were almost immediately made, and soon all who had lost anything had found the missing property. The search was stopped immediately and 'the keys re turned to the students. Last night the students were allowed to leave. The school faculty and some of the students are said to know the culprit, but the iden tity is concealed. TRAVELERS' CIGAR Magazines, 92 Third and Our New Shop, Third and Washington.

For any case of nervousness, sleep lessness, weak stomach, indigestion, dys pepsia, relief is sure in Carter's Little Liver Pills. Why Take Business Home? Are Your Nerves Constantly Strained With Groundless Worries? The cause of this tense condition is in your stomach. Your food does not digest properly. Nine-tenths of all dyspepsia and indigestion is of the nervous type and the only certain cure is to right the cause. Tonics, brain foods, bitters, etc., are mere temporary stimulants. Your stomach and small intestines have be come deranged by improper selection of foods, 'imperfect mastication and irregu larity both as to time and amount of eating. 7 CAN'T THROW OFF HIS CARBS. The - mucous coating of the stomach and intestines has lost its power of secreting the gastric juice (an important factor tn digestion) the muscles of the middle coating are correspondingly life less in grinding up the food, and as a result, the "food lies in your stomach fermenting, poisoning the blood, irritating the nerves and breaking down the sys tem. Something must b done to arouse the digestive organs to action. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets alone have been found capable of digesting the food for the un healthy stomach. They contain diastase, pepsin and other digestive agents which the stomach itself possesses when in health. These agents digest the food for the stomach and give the stomach a chance to rest and regain Its normal powers. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not a patent medicine, the formula for their preparation having been made public and known to 40,000 physicians In the United States and Great Britain. By Govern ment tests, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been shown not only to contain no harmful ingredients, but to possess diges tives of higher purity than found In any other preparation. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are recom mended by -physicians everywhere and can be bought of any druggist or direct from the manufacturers at 60 cents per box. If preferred, a free trail package will be sent you immediately upon receipt of name and address. F. A. Stuart Co., 73 Stuart Bldg., Marshall, Mich.
