Nothing is given out regarding tho
forces behind tho Columbia Valloy
Railroad Organization, but it appears to
bo very much alive, and it is not
deemed probable that so much activity
would bo manifested unless there was a
serious intent behind it. A lino down
tho north bank of tho Columbia might
not work to tlio disadvantage of Port
land, hecatiFo tho bridge to be built at
Vancouver will let trains across to Port
land without inconvenience. But it
t-cems to contemplate a harbor at tho
mouth of the Columbia on tho north
sido of tho river, and much nearer the
rca than Astoria is. It is said that tho
Columbia valloy enterprli-o is not ro
tated to any of tho present railroad
combinations, but is a wholly Independ
ent venture.
DINE8 WITH EDITOR8.
Banquet In Honor of Prince Henry Guests
Number One Thousand.
Now York, Fob. 27. Princo Honry
of Prussia dined last night with 1,000 of
tho men who, make American nowspa
pors. He was thu special guest of Her
man Bidder, proprietor of tho New
York Staata Zoitung, who fathered at
his tablo n majority of tho leading fig
ures in American journalism. They
camo from tho four quarters of tho
country, and made tho most noteworthy
gathering of tboir profession ever as
sembled in the United Stntos.
There was a felicitous exchango of
greetings between Princo Honry and
tho men who spoko for tho journalistic
craft, and tho affair claims rank with
ono of tho notable incidents in tho
American tour of tlio German princo.
Tho dinner was given in tlio handsome
ballroom of the Waldorf-Astoria, but
that immense room was not largo
enough to'accommodato tlio newspaper
guests, and the Astor gallory was also
used. Tho two rooms woro splendidly
decorated. Mr. Ridder anil tho special
guest sat at an elevated table, nbove
which woro tho American and German
flags, Tlio staves were crosf-ed and tho
banners, draped fanlike, reached out
like tho wings of a liugo butterfly.
Above them was tlio Prussian F.aglo,
done in incandescent Huhts. From
tho boxes hung vines, and mi in on tlio
ledges were hundreds of palms. Kuch
tablo carried boquets of American
Beauties.

offered by thu eomniitteo, only one an
amendment rchtoicting tho operation of
thu sedition laws enacted by thu Tuft
commission was pasi-cd. The amend
ment of Forakcr, fixing tho rate of
duties levied upon products coming into
tliu United States from tho Philippines
at (iO per cent of too Dingley rates, in
stead of 7o per cent, as fixed in tho
bill, was lost, but it received a largo
Republican vote. Had the Dumocrnts
voted for it ns a party, it would havu
carried, but many Democrats oted
against it.
What the Measure Provides,
As panned, tho measure provides that
artlclos imported into tlio l'hlllppino
archipelago from tho United Status
shall bo required to pay tho duties lev
ied against thorn by tho l'liillpplno
commission, and paid upon liku articles
imported into tlio archipelago trom for
oigu countries; that articles imported
into tho United Status from tho Philip
pines, shall pay a duty of 75 pur cunt
of tlio rates fixed by thu Dingley law,
less any export taxes paid upon tho ar
ticles sunt from tho l'liillpplno archi
pelago, ns required by tho Philippine
commission. All articles now imported
free into the United States shall hero
after lie exempt from oxport duty im
posed in the Philippines,
Tho bill exempts tlio commorco pass
ing between tho United States and the
Philippines from tho operation of tho
navigation laws of tho United States
until July 1, 1004, and authorizes tho
Philippine commission to issue licenses
to craft now engaged in lighterage or
exclusive harbor business, provided
such craft are built in tho United States
or in tlio Philippines and owned byciti
reus of thu United States or by inhabi
tants of the Philippines, Tho duties
and taxes collected in pursuance of this
act shall lx paid into the treasury of
tho Philippine islands and used for
their benefit.
All articles manufactured, in bonded
warehouses, of imported materials, or
of materials subject to internal revenue
tax, when shipped from tho United
States to tho Philippines, shall bo ox
ompt from the internal revenue, and
all taxes paid upon such articles
shipped to tho Philippines since No
vember 15, 1001, shall bo refunded,

it reached (10 miles at 7:110 o'clock.
Ships dragged their anchors, or broku
their moorings at their docks; a fishing
boat was capsi.ed; tho telephone und
electric light wires were down, ami
awnings, shade trees mid fences were
wrecked and pedestrians wero greatly
Inconvenienced. Telegraph lu commu
nication with the outside world was cut
off.
Tho full forco of tho storm was felt
on thu bay, mid tho bar was so rough
that vesfuls were unable to leave port.
North of tho ferries, craft of all sorts
woro tossed about like egg shells. Tho
violent south wind stirred thu bay into
a rolling, tempestuous sen, against
which anchors wero almost futile.
Swell after swell, each apparently
heaxier than tho one preceding, pound
ed tho vessels from tho southerly direc
tion, and sent tlium drifting in danger
ous proximity to ono another; drove
tliem close to tlio piers uudjthu islands,
and kept tho tow boats busily engaged
in efforts to prevent disaster.
Tho San Francisco lightship No. 70,
located seven miles from Point Ixibos,
parted her moorings during tho height
of tho storm nud was soon drifting to
ward tho harlwr, which she finally
made. At tho time she wont astray,
tho wind was blowing at tlio rate of 70
miles an hour.
Tho galo, as it swept over tho Pro
sidio reservation, left in its trail wreck
and ruin. Tho signal olllcers of the
reservation say that at ono t lints during
thu morning thu wind was blowing at
tho rate of (10 miles an hour. Dozens
of tents were wrenched from their posi
tions, und, after being curried high in
thu air, were landed yards away, where
they woro afterward gathered up by tho
rain soaked soldiers, who had fought ho
hard to save them. The majority of
tho tents simply collapsed under the
proFHiiru of tlio wind. To thu soldiors
tho wreck of thu tents was a serious
affair, for tho majority of thorn hud all
their poescssiiiH under thu touts, and
Isjforo they could collect their belong
ings, they were thoroughly soaked with
ruin.
In tho residence portion of tho city
Isirdering on tho military reservation,
much damage was done to high fenced
and lofty cliimuoys. In thu Mission
district three three-story buildings wore
blown down.
Washington, Feb. 2(1. Supplement
ing tho largo number of petitions and
appeals from other organized bod ion in
tho Island of Culm for reliuf in the
shape of a reduction of tariff dues, tho
president has received a petition from
Ramon Rivera and other representatives
of tlio assembly of thu delegates from thu
various tobacco working industries of
Cuba, which mot in Havana tho Otb
inst. The petition recites thu great
crisis confronting Cuba and "in tho
name of 30,000 workingmen, who hear
hunger railing at their doors," they
implore tho president "to wivo Cuba
from ruin."
To Clear Rlzal Province
Manila, Feb. 27. Goornor Flore,
of Rizul provinco, has ordored an expe
dition, consisting of nativo police and
volunteers, to co-oporato with tho con
stabulary and military in clearing tho
province of ladroues and insurgents,
who have been pouring into Rind front
