' THE OREGON, DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, TUESDAY EVENINO, 'AUGUST 2. 1904. V SHIPPERS EXPECT GENERAL EMBARGO axmAj. oraaov xs tmjA ftsoxt ; movn coMumi, will axbo . ; utvii ui ruxozr 10m FOB JAPAXT TaVAMF BTXAJIXBS WIU PBOBABIT BB OUBTUIS : Shippers are expecting to be apprised In the-next day or two that tie oriental lines operating from Puget sound ports will Issue orders at ones not to carry flour tp Japan until the war cloud Wows over. Some of them make the state ment that orders to that effect are sure to be Issued within the next 24 hours. It Is argued that the Harrlmao inter- ests are not alone In the reoent ruling, but alt lines on the Pacino coast will be affected alike. . -. The Stentoir is scheduled to sU from ' Taooma on August 4 and the Tremont live days later frem the same port. Space for flour shipments to Japan have been engaged on both vessels. A num ber of the local shippers declare that the companies ' may permit them to go out. but orders will be Issued Imme diately afterward that no more freight will be accepted' for Japan. - The opinion prevails generally among the Portland shipping firms that R. P. Sehwerin. manaaer of the Harriman lines. Is likely, to -change his decision not. to carry freight to Japan.' W. J. Burns of Balfour, Guthrie A Co, this morning said: ,-.'.'. Mr. Barns' Opinion. . "As near as I have been able to dis cern Mr. Schwerin's decision Is not final, 'News Is likely to be received today ex . plaining more fully the stand that fee has taken, It Is very probable that the . Nicomedla, the next steamer of the line , to arrive, will be permitted to' carry ' cargo to Japan. If such should not prove to be the case the probabilities are that shipments will be made by way of Puget sound. If ' those lines should refuse to handle the freight, tramp steamers . will - undoubtedly be Chartered. Bo long as underwriters axe willing to Insure the vessels and car goes against loss by reason of war the 'owners and shippers are assuming no risk." i Already freight, space has been en- gaged on the Nicomedla for 1,000 tons of flour to be shipped to Japanese ports. ' The contracts for the space have been closed, and the shippers are of the opin ion that they can force fie steamship - company to make good its promise, mey StaM that perhaps Manager Schwerin did' not know anything about these con tracts at the time he Issued his or ders. and that when he Is apprised of the true situation he will permit the Nicomedla Jo sail with cargo consigned ' to Japanese porta. If he should not. they declare that the Marrlman Interests will have to make good the tosses which the shippers sustain by reason of not being able to market the product Some or tnem are at ins turn or events, siav Ing that there Is no occasion for shut' ting down on the shipments consigned to certain ports In the orient. If there is no other way out of, the dilemma they aver that tramp steamers will be chartered to take care of the business. Trunn Itiuun Available. .; 1 It is said that they can easily be pro cured for the reason that the under writers will Insure them ' against any danrer of loss In the event ' that the vessel Is captured. : The declaration Is -made that the 8.0OS tons which It was . the Intention to ship on the Nicomedla will make more than half a cargo ror a tramp steamer, and that In a very short time the carao could be completed. One era the members of a leading firm stated this morning that he will -charter a steamer himself In the event that he cannot make his shipments In any other way. bo far as me snippers are con cerned he explained that it would not be a dangerous undertaking at all, as ' the underwriters would be the only ones .who could possibly lose. That the marine Insurance companies do not view the situation with alarm-Is shown by the fact that, the' war risk rates are steadily declining. Yesterday they had fallen to 1 per cent and to i day's, quotations are expected to be even lowerl Those la a position " to keep posted are of the opinion that the rates whi be down to I per cent wiimn tne next .week. . '; ABOTBEbB'TBUFBOBTB mXTKOa. . ' Waterfront Authorities Have This Idle - Boa Beaded fot Astoria Bow. ' Another rumor " Is going ' the. rounds concerning the new steamer Telephone, - which has been tied up at her dock for almost a year. The statement was made ' from ail apparently . authentlo source this morning that the steamer had been chartered to. run between hers . and Astoria during the week of the annual regatta at the latter place. Cap tain Cochran, managing owner of the vessel, could not be located to verify the report. The steamer Telephone has been an enigma during the past year. At reg ular Intervals of a month or so some one has a new route mapped out for the steamer. When the time comes for her to be placed In commission, how ever, : there Is no stir noticed around the vessel. She Is still permitted to lie Idle at the Haseltlne dock, where she has been moored for several months. , She Is fitted up with every convenience for handling freight and carrying pas sengers. - and Is generally regarded ' as being one of the finest steamers In . local waters. ' Why she has 'been per mitted to lie idle so long a period of time is one of the mysteries .which the owners refuse to explain. - BBMOTX PXBTOBB KOODOO. b ' anaaasesssaaBM , Boat Will Bot Bs Started Again oa Fri day or the 13th, " Aoeordlng to present ' plans the ' steamer Spencer will be launched on Thursday and placed back on her run between here and The Dalles next Mon day. Immediately after she Is hauled out Into deep water the steamer will be brought down to Portland Under her own steam. "Heretofore," says John Klncald, local agent of the line, "the Spencer , has been placed in commission on Fri day, and the management has about ar rived at the conclusion that this Is the reason that shs has ,met with so many accidents. Once I remember 'she was started out on her run on both Friday and the lith of the month, and some thing seemed to be going wrong with the vessel continually. In view of what haa happened I do not think it probable that the steamer will re-enter commis sion on the fifth day of the week. Mon day will be the best time." TO TBABTUFBB XJOBTBBBPBB. ! '.
