is progressing slowly, the army en
gineers in charge giving most of
their attention to the condition of
the dam, which Is in excellent shape.
Water from a hose was played on
the mud on the spar deck and the
surface was well cleaned off. Engi
neers began exploring the exposed
parts of the vessel, and on entering
the after-superstructure found a quan
tity of dishes laid out on the mess
table. Many of them were unwashed
and gave indications of having been
left by mess attendants, who were
surprised at their evening meal when
the explosion occurred. The officers.
of course, had finished their meal
long before, as the explosion was
after 9 o'clock.
On clearing off the spar deck, an
ammunition box was found just aft
of the port turret which contained.
besides a full complement of ammuni
tion, clips for hand rifles and several
hand swords. The lead and brass of
the cartridges were littie Injured, but
the steel swords practically were
eaten away by the salt water. Offi
cers' dress swords in scabbards were
found leaning against the starboard
wall of the deckhouse with the leath
er in good shape, out witn tne steel
so badly eaten that it fell apart when
picked up.
The engineers were astonished that
the steel should have deteriorated In
the water, and the only explanation
Is galvanic action. Several electric
bulbs are said to have been found
whole, which, with the fact that the
crockery was unbroken on the mess

General Bixsby expected to depart
for the United States and an at
tempt was made to pump as much as
possible before he started. The out
look now is that the pumping will
go on slowly but steadily till the
cofferdam is all unwatered.
Diaz In Spain.
Santander, Spain The steamer
Ypiranga, with General Porflrlo Diaz,
ex-presldent of Mexico, aboard, sailed
for Plymouth. Several tugs sailing
the Mexican colors, with cheering
people, escorted the steamer for sev
eral miles. General Diaz said the
friendly demonstrations at Spanish
ports had comforted him greatly In
his bitter exile. "It Is quite possible
that, after a few months' visit, I shall
turn my steps toward the peninsula.
I speak only Spanish, and I am too
old to begin the study of foreign lan
guages." Roads Overpaid, Charge.
Washlngtwi Uncle Sam has been
paying the railroads a little matter
of $.00fl.000 a year more than the
service for carrying tne mails Is
worth. This is Postmaster-General
Hitchcock's latest announcement with
respect to Inside affairs pertaining
to the postal service. Congress Is
to be asked to authorize a readjust
ment of railway mail pay so that this
$9.000.0ti0 a year may be saved to
the government.

cheering crowd. Construction of a
railroad from Eugene to Florence
has been the dream of Lane county
for 30 years.
At 2 o'clock a procession of citi
zens, headed by the mayor and city
council, formed at Eighth and Will
amette streets and marched to the
scene oi operations. The procession
wus headed by a band, and was one
ot the largest that has formed in
Eugene recently. Automobiles were
in line, followed by carriages and
buggies and scores on foot.
All tho siteakers dwelt on the Im
portance to Eugene of securing rail
road connection with the coast, par
ticularly in view of the nearness of
the completion of the Panuma canal.
The line is financed by the Imub

local corporation, organized In Oc

Dealers Are Quoting Five Cent
Pound for New Peel.
Portland Peeling of cascara or
chlttim bark has Btarted In the conn
try and Initial shipments have been
received In this city.
First prices for 1911 peel of chlt
tim stand at S cents a pound, the
highest figure In recent years for
the start of the season, and for new
bark.
Ail together several tons of new
bark have been received and the
high price paid.
Inquiries regarding the probable
peel of chlttim In the Pacific North
west are coming forward In great
numbers from eastern manufacturers
as well as from foreign Interests.
So far as known no orders from the
outside have been received and first
buyers are therefore undecided as
to whether they paid too much or
not.
Prospects are for a normal peel of
chlttim In most sections of the Pa
cific Northwest but In somo places
where the bark was formerly gath
ered In great volume, scarcely any
will be peeled hereafter because of
the settlement of the lands by
farmers.
