TWO BARKS OFFTHE RIVER OXE OF THE3I FLYING THE FREUfCH FLAG MAY BE THE PASTEUR, Sew Year's Waa atileUy Celebrated on tae Front Pacific Hail' Keir Xiners. Two barks, one of them flying the French ilag.-vvere reported off the mouth of the river last evening, and it Is probable that one of them Is the Louis Pasteur, oer which the San Franc-sco reinsur ance speculators have been making so much tuss, and on -which they have paid such extravagant premiums. Portland shipping men have never lelt any un easiness over the .safety of the vessel, but In San Francisco as high as 25 per cent reinsurance has been paid on her. The reabon for this extravagant rate is thus g.ven by the Bulletin: A wrecked bark on the cheerless coast of Tierra del Fuego and what appeared to be the hull of some sort of vessel not far ttom the scene of the- first disaster, has caused the marine underwriters to grow anxious and quote reinsurance on a whole fleet of ships that are making long trips around the Horn. -borne time ago the bark Blanca stranded near the Straits and was a total wreck. Soon afterward It was reported that another bark-ngged craft had been .seen ashore not many miles from where the Bianca struck. The latter vessel had been n company with the Frencn bark Louis Pasteur, and it is now feared that the Pasteur was the unfortunate one, as she is 149 days out from Limerick, for Astoria, And is reinsured for 25 per cent A number of other vessels are making long trips, and reinsurance commenced to jump this morning, with the result that ji-ne ships in all, bound from Europe lor California and Oregon ports, were quot ed." WHALING IX THE ARCTIC. The Past Season Was the Beset In Many Years. Spearing whales in the Arct-'c is not the bus.ness It used to be years ago, when hale oil commanded remunerate e prices, though the secur.ng of whalebone is quite as important as ever, says a San Francisco paper. The first whaler to reach San Francisco in 199 was the steamer Mary D. Hume, which arrved on September 30, having spent two winters at the north. The first of the wind jammers to return was the bark Charles W. Morgan, on November 2. In all, 18 whalers came to hand before the close of the season, of which 10 were steamers. Every one brought some bone and eight of them had oil as well. The steamer Beluga had 106,000 pounds, the accumu lation of 3ier own and other vessels. Trad ers brought down 19,925 pounds of bone and 5190 pounds of ivory. Total receipts for the year were 6221 barrels oil, 206,123 pounds bone and 6430 pounds ivory. The quantity of bone is the largest since 1S93. The past year has been the best in several years. From one to three vessels are lost every year, while a new one is rarely added. The business will hereafter be largely controlled by the steamers. Four of these steamers failed to come dDwn, those In charge" concluding to win ter in the Arctic These are the Bae lena. Fearless, Grampus and NorwhaL Three of the sailing fleet left port for another cruise In the first week in De cember. These were the Alice Knowles, California and Charles W. Morgan. Others "will follow in the spring. JfEW PACIFIC MAIL STEAMERS. W1U Bo the Largest and Speediest In the Service. In -th two new Pacific Mall steamships tor which the keels have just been laid fit the shipyard, the Newport News Ship building & Xrjdock Company is building the largest steamships ever contracted lor in the United States. The first of the flew vessels will be completed by De cember, 1900, and the second will be ready for service In March, 190L The cost of each of these vessels win be about ?2, 000,000, which Js almost as much as the contract price of any of the big battle chips buildings at the shipyard there. The general dimensions and main feat ures of each of the Pacific Mall ships are as follows: Length over all, 575 feet; beam, 63 feet; depth, 40 feet; displacement at 27 feet draught, 18,400 tons; gross ton nage, 12,000; Indicated horse power, 18,000; speed, 18 knots; bunker capacity, 2500 tons of coal; first cabin passengers, 150; teerage passengers, 1200. These big liners w.U carry mall for the United States government, and they are designed to lower the time between San Francisco and Hong Kong. The speed of 18 knots required in the contract does not mean that they will not be faster than that; it means that they will always be able to make 18 knots under favorable conditions. The ships wiU be w.thout doubt the speediest craft crossing the Pa cific NEW YEAR'S IX PORT. Tic Water Front Was Quiet and the Day Was Dnly Observed hy Tars. Portland harbor was rather quiet yester day. Nearly all of the crews of the ves sels in port were on shore leave, and aiong in the evening the North End pre sented an animated scene. The California steamer, which arrived up Sunday after noon, was the only ship in port that was -working. She brought a considerable amount of fruit and produce, and some of the Front-street commission-houses opened -up to take care of it. At Astoria, the Principality cleared out in the fore noon, leaving the Glenholm the only ves sel in the river ready for sea. The big China liner Arab came up off the mouth of the river just before dark last even ing, but did not cross In. She will prob ably come In early this morning. Pilot Pease has been at Astoria for several days, awaiting her arrival, and she will be hurried up to Portland as soon as she is clear of the government officials at Astoria. WORLD CRUISE ABAXDOXED.

L-The Ward line steamer Saratoga, after having been 10 days aground, was pulled off yes terday by the Santiago tugs. All her cargo and coal were removed, and the channel around the propeller and keel was dredged. An Investigation has shown Remarkable port regulations. No pilots n the harbor have licenses, except two oldlng Spanish licenses, but several oth ts are permitted by the commandant of 4a port to use the pilot flag.

In the current number of Scribner's Magazine appears an article on affairs In the Philippine islands, by Frederick Pal mer. It bears the evidence of both intel ligence and candor. The author writes as one relating what he has seen, and com menting on it with frankness. It is hard to say from his article whetiher he Is an "expansionist" or not. Certainly he is not a believer in the capacity of those of the Philippine population who are fight ing our government to succeed in car rying on a government by themselves. He thinks the main cause of the difficulty between us and the Inhabitants of the isl ands Is that the latter misunderstand our character and our intentions toward themselves. He does not believe that the war was necessary. Statesmanship at Washington would have prevented it. This was needed, and tact also was needed af ter our victory at Manila under Dewey. Our nation had then the best of oppor tunity, but It was not Improved. In the composition of the Filipino there Is a mixture of Malay and Spanish, cun ning. He is easily Impressed with the power of those with whom he deals; which fact gave those who represented the United States on his soil a great ad vantage after the Manila bay triumph. We found a people there represented by Aguinafdo. Both he and they might have been conciliated and brought to co-operate In a subordinate capacity with our forces, if they had been Intelligently un derstood and judiciously treated. Refer ring to Agulnaldo, Mr. Palmer says: "There . can be no question of this re markable being's hold on his people's af fections." Through him, Mr. Palmer thinks, the Filipinos might have been readily managed,. The mistake was in not thinking it worth while td conciliate Agul naldo. Instead of making his vanity our servant, we made it a joke It was the same toward the other leaders. We would not listen to them; we simply sought to put them down. They are Intelligent peo ple. They learned what the status of the colored man In this country was, and they conceived the belief that when we obtained possession ot their territory they would share In it. We were prompt to assert that right of possession, and In so doing we omitted to add that they were to share In -the government. If there had been any person there author ized to go among them and say they were to participate in it, the turn of affairs might have been very different But there was not. Spain was attended to at Paris; the Filipinos were forgotten at Manila. Instead of a politic defer ence, there was only contempt on Hur sldo toward the Filipinos. This came from the soldiers. The administration at Washington In the meantime did nothing. It was waiting, In the language of Mr. Palmer, "upon the people of the United States to make nip their, minds on the question of foreign acquisition." The Filipinos, in this condition of affairs, fore boded the worst. They reasoned, again In Mr. Palmer's language, that "If the status of the negro, as they understood It, was to be theirs In the new system, they would have to leave the Islands anyway, and "they had concluded to make a fight before going." For two months before the resistance at arms broke out, this state of affairs existed. It naturally became worse with time, for our soldiers were always assert ing their superiority. It grew Into race hatred for the United States as invaders. This brought insults from the Filipino trenches to our troops. The Tagalog is the fighting man of the Philippines as surely as the Sikh and the Goorkha are of In dia, but, after hostilities , commenced, he quickly found that he -was no match for the American soldiers. He Is brave, how ever, and he will fight until the end after his method. This, added to what we have noted of him above. Is the key to his con tinued resistance. He had brightness enough to see that open combat on his part was useless, but he had the re source of guerrilla fighting, and of this he was prepared to avail himself. These tactics were begun in Filipino avoidance of battles In the earlier part of last season. Yet Mr. Palmer represents the "half-breed leaders as estranged and discouraged, and their soldiers as rapidly deserting after the taking of Calumplt It was then that Agulnaldo proposed peace. He was told that unconditional surrender was all that was to be granted him. The rainy season was Immediately Impending, and he seems to have been sharp enough to postpone negotiations till it arrived. Then our own troops were mor tified and uneasy. At this time the corre spondents' "round-Tobln" was sent home. Yet Mr. Palmer appears to think a censor ship of some kind was justifiable. He does not, however, approve altogether the military management on our side, though he objects to nothing but the adaptation of General Otis to his work. He charac terizes that officer as "charitable, never tiring, never losing his temper, automatic," of phenomenal industry and marvellous endurance, lacking in nothing but magnet Ism. We are gratified also to learn from this writer that the burnings of housea In the Island are not the work of our sol diers, but that of the retreating Filipinos. The article as a whole justifies hope fulness for the future. We do not find the fear of a long guerrilla, resistance In it. Our nation, Mr. Palmer holds, needs now, most of all, to send men of character to govern the Philippines. "Beside a native judge," he says, "In every court a white man must sit." "What Is to be feared Is the prospect of ephemeral appointments In the payment of political debts." He would have manhood suffrage in the elec tion of the small communal units, and lim ited franchise In the election of larger ones. This clearly Includes the participa tion of the native races In the government o c Installing the Machinery, The concrete foundations for the new engine and dynamo In the power-house of the City & Suburban Railway Cqmpany, at Inman, Poulsen & Co's sawmill, are about complete. The west side of the building will be taken up with the new machinery. Already some portions of the large dynamo have been delivered and others are to follow. The castings for the dynamo alone weigh many tons. The engine and big flywheel have -not yet been shipped, but soon -will be. A lot of carpenters also are at work on the new boiler-house, which Is being built entirely outside of the old one, and alto gether there Is quite an army of men at work here getting these extensive Im provements completed. The new engine and dynamo are the duplicates of the ones that are doing service on the west sidq of the building. Besides these two, there are six smaller dynamos in the center of the power-house, which have to give way when further enlargements are required. FIRE WAS,, MYSTERIOUS BLAZE IX EAST SIDE RESIDENCE CAXXOT BE EXPLAINED, Sudden Death of H,' G. Freeman Letter From Alaska Electrical 'Machinery Installed. A fire alarm was turned In from box 215, East Market street and Grand ave nue, for a fire In the residence of Captain Coleson, East Second, between Market and Mill streets, last evening, The East. Side fire companies responded promptly, but, were turned back at East Market, as the blaze had been quickly extinguished with a bucket of water. District JEnglneer Holden and others went over to the house to Investigate. Mrs. Coleson had been thrown into hys terics through fright. It "was a most sin gular fire, and it could not be explained. Mrs. Coleson was alone with her nephew, and they, were taking supper in the dining-room, the door to the sitting-room be ing open. They heard the crackling of -the blaze and the young man stepped into the sitting-room, when he saw. flames running up the door. He seized" a bucket of water and, dashing It on the door, extinguished the Are. The door Is soiae distance from the little., box stove, and the blaze could not have been com municated from It The mysterious part of the affair Is the fact that the door was on fire In two places. One place Is about six Inches from the floor where there Is a charred space of about a- foot square. The door caught fire again two feet above and was running up the side of the door when it was extinguished. Both places look as If a torch had been held against the door until the paint caught Difatilct Engineer Holden said he never saw any thing like It In all his long experience as a fireman. It would have been Impossible for any one to have entered the- room while Mrs. Coleson and her nephew were In the other room with the door open, and the stove was too rar off for a spark to have leaped from It, and even If that had occurred, the blaze would not have been started on the side of the door. No one who saw the charred door offered, any explanation. Mrs. Coleson remained In a very excited condition for some time, and seemed to think that the whole house was on fire above, but became quieted in a few hours. Cows Bring: Good Prices. First-class cows continue to bring big prices, and they are hard to get at any price. Saturday, in response to an adver tisement, a fresh cow, Durham and Jer sey, and a good milker, was quickly snapped up for $60. The average scrub cows, worth from $20 to '$25,' can hardly be sold at all. They are not wanted ex cept for beef. Most of the cows sold are bought by Gresham farmers- and taken out Into that 'district to produce milk fpr the cheese factory. Here all the scrubs have been weeded out, and none but the best are wanted there. A farmer In from Gresham said yesterday that he watched the advertisements for the sale of cows, and If they were what he wanted, he bought them. Others he said were doing the same. After experimenting wifh scrubs they had 'come to the conclusion that th'ey do not pay" to have around. "It has been found that It costs just as much to keep an Inferior cow as It does a first-class milker. The difference In the value of cows Is very marked and denv onstrated at the Gresham. .cheese, factory, where It is the quality anf not the quan tity that tells. It has been, found, under the Babcock milk test, that the income of some cows whose milk Is delivered at the factory is from $5 to $10 per month. It the latter case the yield of butter fat Is just double what the first yields. After nearly one year's experiment at this point the farmers now see and understand the value of first-class cows. It has been shown, after having been operated less than a year, by the Gresham cheese factory, with a plant large enough that the entire Port land market could be" supplied JWithqut i sending abroad, but :the difficulty is 'In getting plenty of Hhe.Tlghtdmi of milk,- It was found when -the factory was start- ed by the farmers in that district, that there was not enough milk to run even one vat, and only the past rew months has enough been supplied. The amount paid out per month to those delivering milk at this factory has been $900, but Manager Lewis has completed the arrangements for doubling the output by putting In an other milk vat and preparing storing-room for the additional output. He will be -able, frohi now on, to store 1G00 cheeses if neces sary. The factory will now be enlarged as soon as possible. Here is where the good cows are mostly going, and any one having a first-class cow for sale can dis pose of her at Gresham quickly. Is on Wade Creet. C. E. Steelsmlth has Just written to his friend, Job Hatfield, of Inman, Poulsen & Co., from Jack "Wade creek, Alaska. He Is well known In the city, and hlf friends will be glad to hear that he got through with his outfit without any serious difficul ties, and Is now working on a lay on Wade creek, a new discovery and a branch of Forty-mile creek. In this letter ho gives .n extended account of his trip, and tells of several adventures. He and those With him had eight tons of freight He says that they had a good trip down the Yukon, stopping and sleeping on the banks under tarpaulins. They got down before the freeze up. Steelsmlth took In a thaw ing machine, but he sold this out, as he had no ground to work out. He says that he and his partner are working on a lay and had got down 17 feet. A nugget worth $119 was taken out of a clalhi near their cabin, and hence Steelsmlth thinks he and his partner stand a good show of making a strike. He says that, so far, matters on Wade creek look better than In other portions of the Klondike, but it Is very hard to get there, and the expense Is heavy. The boiler for thawing purposes he took In was gotten through all right, and Steelsmlth says It was set up and In operation. It promised to prove a success. The freight on the thawing outfit from Portland to Wade creek was 28 cents per pound. In closing his letter, he says: "So far, I have no fault to find, as I knew what I was going up against, and have not been disappointed. 'Am getting quite expert in baking flapjacks, hut the cooking Is the most unpleasant part df life In this country. Coming into a cold cabin after a day's work to And your tea kettle frozen up and the beans you sat up half the night before to cook, frozen so hard that they resemble gravel, one is apt to wish he had not come, and realize that life Is real In this country." XCept Open Honsc. Rev. "W. O. Forbes, pastor of the Forbes Presbyterian church, of Alblna, and wife, kept open, house last evening from T to 10, .and during that time their home "was con stantly thronged with the members of, their church and their personal friends. Mr. Forbes Is now the pioneer pastor ot Port land." He was the first pastor of the Al blna Presbyterian church. After serving 10 years, he resigned and entered other work. Two years ago he was recalled by the church which bears his name, which he accepted, to the great joy of the members.. He and his wife have made, a practice of opening their home everyr New Tear's day, and last evening they kept up the pleasing custom. I Sadden Death ot G. JL Freeman George H.
