Laboring under the hallucination that It is up to him to protect members of the Police Department detailed to station duty from possible injury by hi country men. Young Fu. an aged Chinaman, night after night, rain or shine, takes his stand on the sidewalk in front of Police Headquarters at Second and Oak streets, paring back and forth with the studied regularity of a regular soldier of the United States Army doing sentry duty. About 12 years, ago. it is said. Young Fu was saved from death in a Chinese tong war by police interference when a general fight was in progress in a Mon golian restaurant. Recently his mind became deranged, and though harmless, he believes a plot is on foot to murder the police by some of his enemies. The lone Chinaman goes on his imag inary duty about 2 o'clock in the after noon and remains until after 1 o'clock at night "Chinaman all gone to bed." he re ports to Captain Baty. "Go now." And the oH man departs. Where he lives and hov he subsists is a mystery. He concluded the third month yesterday of his present occupation and has never missed a day.

M. Weather conditions were favorable Inst night for an excellent view from Portland of the total eclipse of the mocn. and throughout the city an un usual interest was exhibited in the phenomenon. According to schedule time the shadow of . the earth made its appear ance on the rim of the moon a little after 11 o'clock. The sky was clear with the exception of an occasional thin flaky cloud of such a transparent na ture that it scarcely interfered with the vision. Almost exactly one hour after the shadow made its first appearance on the face of the moon, it had fully cov ered the latter, and the eclipse was complete. It was almost half past 1 o'clock this morning that the shadow began to leave the face of the moon, ar.J it was not until half past 2 o'clock that the ellipse had come to an end. That a large number of people stayed up to witness the eclipse was made evi dent by the number of telephone calls at the office of The Oregonian yester day asking for information about the eclipse.

Nov. 27. It was decided yesterday bv the Council license commit tee that all "runners" for clothing stores, pawnshops, etc., must pay a -license fee of $300 a year. Incidentally it was charged during the deliberations of the committee that about half of the so-called "runners" are confidence men. Alderman Dunn 6ald that some of the big mercantile houses in the city received numerous complaints from country cus tomers, who were fleeced while in charge. "They Introduce themselves to these country customers as members of the big firms." said Alderman Bowler, "and drag them Into their stores, with the assur ance that It Is a branch of the big one, and sell them $5 overcoats for 50 and things of that kind. Only the other day one of these "runners" met a fellow from Indiana in front of the City Hall. The countryman was looking at the pigeons. The confidence man told him that Vie couldn't look at the pigeons in Chicago, as It was against the law. and. displaying a star, placed the farmer under arerst. "Up the street a little way they met a confederate, whom the confidence man hailed as "Judge." The judge asked the countryman what he was looking at the pigeons for. and the victim replied: 'Why, I was counting them. " 'That's against the law.' answered the Judge. 'How many did you count ? 'Twenty-one.' answered the farmer. " 'The fine is $5 apiece for counting pigeons here.' commented the judge, and the victim handed over $105." REAL BARGAINS.

OUR NAVY SECOND pffitaes- IN TONNAGE POINT Germany Has More Vessels Building and Will Soon Take Second Place. GREAT BRITAIN AT HEAD Statistics Gathered by Navy Depart ment Show Relative Present and Future Strengrth 'of Sea Fight ing Forces of World. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. ' Nov. 26. Measured by actual naval tonnage in service, the United Etates ranks second among the nations of the world: Great Britain alone sur passes this coutry. But if to the ton nage in service is added the tonnage of warships authorized and in course of construction, the United States is compelled to yield second place to Ger many. In other words, Germany haa in course of construction more large bat tleships than has the United States. The relative order r warship ton nage of the great nations today is as follows: Great Britain 1,7S8.SM I'nited State Oermany "B.70 Prance Ki2.H-'l Japan :t'.H'i.:itf$ RuMja 2rA.2rt:; Italy 216.0JS Austria 1H.SD7 It will be noted that Japan is far Inferior to the United States In its naval strength, standing fifth on the list. It will also be noted from the following table, showing the total naval tonnage of the great nations, as would be the case were vessels build ing now completed, that Japan retains her relative position on the list, with even less tonnage than the United States. Assuming vessels under con struction were all completed, the navies of the world would show the following tonnage: What World , Will Have. Great Britain S.on.-.873 Germany 820. 692 United States 7X.67 France 7.!0 Japan 40. 1 04 Ruuit 41-.2.".0 ltaiv 2.-.7.S1S Austria lli.207 These figures are Interesting in sev eral respects. Germany, for instance, which long stood fourth on the list of naval powers, has rapidly passed both the United States and France. Japan, on the other hand, supposed to' have been making great strides in the devel opment of her navy, is not building as fast as the United States. During the past year she increased her naval ton nage less than 50,000, and it is seen from the statistics above that her in crease, according to her present pro gramme, will not be equal to that of the United States. The tonnage of the American Navy today exceeds that of Japan by about 2S6.000; with the pres ent programme of both nations com pleted, the United States will lead by i96,000. Tonnage Less Than Tear Ago. The foregoing figures are taken from statistics compiled by the Navy Depart ment of reports from Its representa tives all over the world. It is believed the figures given in each instance are accurate and reliable. From the same source it is learned that the naval ton nage of the United States is. today less than it was a year ago, owing to the retirement of antiquated types of ves sels. The United States, however, is building 102.902 tons, which is the heaviest programme ever carried on d this Government, although more bat tleships were under construction at one time immediately following the Span ish War. Great Britain is building more exten sively than any other nation, having 247,523 tons under way; Germany has 210.99:2, the largest In her history. Eng land, it is said, has been fairly con servative in recenfyears, but last year, upon learning that Germany had sud denly advanced eight battleships of the Dreadnought class, she advanced 11 of that type. The United States, which had but two the Michigan and South Carolina advanced to six during the year, with two more yet to be begun authorized by Congress. Extent of N'avies. The Navy Department is also able to show the number of vessels of each type in the various navies, and the number and type under construction. The United States Navy, that is, ships in commission, comprises 2 battleships of the Dreadnought type, 25 other bat tleships, 12 armored cruisers, 35 ordi nary cruisers. 17 torpedoboat destroy ers, 30 torpedoboats, 12 submarines and 6 coast defense vessels. In course of construction are 6 Dreadnoughts, 19 de stroyers and 20 submarines. Germany, our present rival, has 2 Dreadnoughts, 24 battleships, 9 arm ored cruisers. 39 cruisers, 79 destroy ers, 33 torpedoboats, 4 submarines and S coasting vessels. In course of con struction are S Dreadnoughts, 3 arm ored cruisers, 6 cruisers, 24 destroyers and 4 submarines. Compared with the United States the Japanese navy is numerically weak. In her active service today are 12 bat tleships, 12 armored cruisers, 17 cruis ers, 56 destroyerST 69 torpedoboats, 10 submarines and 3 coasting vessels. She has no battleships of the Dreadnought tvpe. Building, Japan has 2 Dread noughts, 1 battleship, 1 armored cruis er, 6 cruisers, 4 destroyers and 2 sub marines. From these figures it Is concluded by naval experts that the time has not yet arrived when the Japanese navy can be regarded as detrimental to the navy of the United States. WOOD DEALER IS ACCUSED Bailey Insists Travis Did Not De liver Full Measure. Did Ray Z. Travis, an East Side wood dealer, deliver short measure cords to E.
