Grivln Freights on the Coast
!tfarlne Notes.
Two square-riggers were reported off the
mouth of the river yesterday afternoon.
It was losr water with a very long- -run
out about 3:30 yesterday, so that no at
tempt was made to get the vessels up to
the har, hat they will probably he in this
morning. The vessels are thought to be
the American ship Clarence S. Bement,
E2 days from Shanghai, and the German
ship Chile, SG days from Nagasaki. The
Bement was never regarded as a fast
ship, and Is making a long voyage. An
other faster square-rigger that Is about
due is the Colony, 59 days from TaltaL
These are the only square-riggers known
to be due at the present time, hut the
bark Belmont, 56 days from Hong Kong,
is due, and the bark Haddon Hall, 59
days from Panama, is also thought to he
near at hand. When these five vessels, ar
rive, there will be quite a scarcity of
ships -for the next month, until some of
the Honolulu fleet begins to got around
this way.
There is a big fleet of ships headed for
the island port with coal from Europe
and from Australia, and the Pacific coast
will he obliged to draw heavily on this
fleet for tonnage if there is any movement
at all in wheat. There have been no re
cent charters In Portland, but as high
as 27s Gd has been paid in San Fran
cisco, and it Is not at all improbable that
the Bay city will be a competitor of Port
land in bidding for some of the tonnage
that is now headed ror the island with
cool. None of the coal fleet sailing under
a foreign flag is eligible r the sugar
business out of Honolulu, and for that
Teason the singular spectacle of an iron
vessel going from San Francisco in ballast
to the islands, and other iron vessels com
ing In ballast from the islands to San
Francisco, will be witnessed this year.
The Tillie E. Starbuck, which arrived in
San Francisco with general cargo from
New York last week, will leave the Bay
city In ballast for Honolulu to load
sugar for Delaware breakwater at ?G per
ton. This will bring her owners a gross
amount of 520,000 for tne trip, and, at the
present raehe could receive over $23,000

SHORTAGE OF SHIPS.
San Francisco Has Less Than Onc
TUird the Number Required.
J. W. Harrison's annual coal report con
tains some very interesting figures on the
grain tonnage situation in California.
Among other things, it says:
The most astute calculators have been
all at sea this year with their coal fig
ures. Being assured early in the year
of a generous harvest, and consequently
a large influx of tonnage would be re
quired to transport our cereals to Europe,
the incoming tonnage would be composed
of SO per cent of coals. With this in view,
full stocks and low prices should neces
sarily prevail. Far from this being the
case, two-thirds of our last grain crop is
here in warehouse today, viz., 740,000 short
tons wheat and 235,000 tons barley. To
move this, we have but 0 vessels (loading
and en route) chartered, capable of carry
ing grain, of a capacity of 240,000 short
toes, and here in port loading, 16 vessels,
capacity of 53,O0 short tons; in all, less
than one-third of our aptual tonnage re
quirements. Furthermore, this is all that
can possibly arrive here before next May,
unless tramp steamers come to our res
cue. I have made these figures to prove
irrefutably that foreign tonnage must seek
this port in 1909, and several months hence
we should be the recipients of lower
priced foreign coals. Fully 90 per cent of
the coal now consumed here is produced
by our Northern collieries, and Is under
the absolute control of but five local man
agers, who could establish prices within
one week 25 per cent above ruling rates.
Their beneficent action calls for special
notice."
Gale an Frcnoli Coast.
PARIS, Jan. 10. Heavy gales are blow
ing along the entire French coast, and a
number of small vessels, with their crews,
have been lost, although several life-boat
rescues are reported. A fishing-boat
foundered off Bculogne-sur-Mer, nine of
the crew perishing. The bark Jeanne Eu
genls sank near Che2bourg, and five per
sons wei e drowned. Heavy weather is re
ported from all Mediterranean ports.
Marine Notes.
The German bark Hyon, the "baby of
the grain fleet -in port, will leave down
the river this morning.
The German ship Nereus arrived up last
evening, and went to the elevator dock to
discharge ballast, preparatory to loading
wheat for the United Kingdom.
The steamer Columbia arrived up about
4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, after an
uneventful trip from San Francisco. The
State arrived at San Francisco yesterday
morning.
The steamer Elmbranch is slightly over
due from the Orient. A steamer was im
ported outside yesterday morning, but
afterwards bore away to the north before
her Identity was established. If was
thought to be a coast collier.

OPPOSING RECIPROCITY.
Appeal of the leasne o Domestic
Producers.
CHICAGO, Jan: 10. An appeal to the
agricultural interests of California in par
ticular and the Pacific coast in general
has been prepared by the League of Do
mestic Producers. Tins organization is a
coalition of growers of sugar beet, sugar
cane and manufacturers of sugar there
from, growers of tobacco and cigar mak
ers, producers of semi-tropic and other
fruits, vegetables, wool, cotton, rice and
nuts. Its purpose is to defeat the ad
mission of produce from the tropics or
from South America at lower tariff rates
or free of all duties. The organization
was effected at Omaha December 5, 1S99,
and claims to have s:nce affiliated with
ft pretty much all the associations of
producers and manufacturers in the in
terests referred to, embracing upwards of
3,000,000 voters. The statement issued to
day is signed by Herbert Myrick and Is
as follows:
"We, the League of Domestic Producers,
appeal to our fellow-producers in Cal
ifornia to rise up in their might against
the instant danger that now threatens.
The pending treaty of reciprocity with
France is full of mischief for California's
great wine Industry, as you .know better
than we. The pending treaties of recip
rocity with the British West Indies and
(British Guiana would admit into this
market from those sections of tropical
productiveness and cheap labor, sugar.
UesMPS,- crairges"and other products &f
greatly reduced duties, which would se
riously Injure the home market for the
same articles as produced In California.
The proposed free admission of Puerto
Rlcan produce Is but the nrst step toward
the free admission of sugar, fruits, to
bacco, etc., from the Philippines, and,
ere long, from Cuba. That such policy
would ruin the most profitable agricultural
Industries of California goes without say
ing. "On top of all this comes the treaty
reciprocity with Argentina, wnereby hides,
sugar and wool may be Imported from
that country into the United States at 20
per cent reduction in duties. Argentina
is one of the greatest sheep wool coun
tries on earth. It has nearly four times
as many sheep as the United States and
produces nearly twice as much wool. Its
exports of wool in 1897 were 452,000,000
pounds, nearly four times as much as the
total wool Imports in the United States
the past year and twice the total produc
tion in the-United States. From one-half
to two-thirds of all the foreign wool en
tering this country comes under class
3, coarse wool, so that any such tariff
favors shown Argentina would enormous
ly stimulate direct imports from that
country, to the great detriment, not only
of our coarse-wool sections, like Arizona,
New Mexico, Colorado, Oklahoma, but
also California, Oregon and Washington.
The excuse for the treaty Is that Ar
gentina wools are mostly carpet grade,
but 10 years ago the department of ag
riculture pointed out that 'there is no
question of the possible production in the
United States of carpet wools In ample
variety.' It is true now as then.
"We, therefore, appeal to the great ag
ricultural Interests of the Pacific coast,
especially to the fruitgrowers and wool
growers, to unite in a 6trong protest to
congress against the proposed sacrifice of
their interests and also the sacrifice of
similar Interests in nearly every state
and territory In the Union. We ask
the fruit, wool, beet-sugar and similar
Interests to send resolutions, petitions and
letters to their respective senators and
representatives and In every legitimate
way second the efforts of the League of
Domestic Producers to ward off this dan
ger. This policy advocated by the league
will In no wise interfere with the largest
possible expansion without any sacrifice
of our vast domestic and agricultural in
terests, upon which national prosperity
depends."

TENDERFOOT FINDS RAILROAD
Says TnHderliHts Are Building Wel
der Line to Reach Portland.
MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 10. A special from
Lewiston, Idaho, says:
The Pacific & Idaho Northern railway,
now being built from Weiser, in lie south
ern part of the state, north to Seven
Devils, Is the mest mysterious piece of
railroad building In the country. It begins
nowhere and ends nowhere. Yet over 100
miles of the finest roadbed have been
built and cash is paid for everything, and
only the best material Is purchased. No
one knows who Is furnishing the cash or
why the road is being built. It Is believed,
however to be the "Vanderbilt connecting
link between the east and west. The
Oregon Railroad &. Navigation Company is
to build 77 miles from Riparia to Lewis
ton, and eventually this piece of road will
connect the Oregon Railroad & Naviga
tion Company with the Oregon Short Line.
This will make it possible to start a car
at New York city and pull it to Portland,
Or., on tracks owned by the "Vanderbilts.
The new road will come down the Salmon
to Snake, and then to Lewiston. Then
the Yanderbilt system will have water
grades through the mountains and to the
sea.

Kipling's Limitations.
New York Commercial Advertiser.
A critic has said that, from an artis
tic point of view, the greatest mistake
Kipling ever made was in not dying
last spring. Many to whom he then
seemed to have said the ultimate word
now are outliving their Indisorimlnating
enthusiasm, and see that, while he gives
voice to one and an admirable side of the
Anglo-Saxon character, there are other
sides he cannot touch. The brutal qual
ity, seemingly so necessary in the suc
cessful man grappling with pioneer forces,
had not been receiving its due in liter
ature before him, any more than had
machinery equally brutal in its advances.
He was the healthy reaction, and his
success shows how he was needed. The
pendulum Is swinging a little the other
way at present. As a Western paper has
said, war In Itself is no longer popular.
The world had had peace for so long, it
went blood crazy for a time. It was civ
ilized enough to become easily sated, how
ever, and it looks as if literature would
turn to the gentler things again better
worthy of cultivation by literature than
the brutal, if only they do not tend to
effeminacy. And Kipling's "Schoolboy
Lyrics," which sold last April for $675 a
copy, at the latest sales brought less than
half that f

FORFEITED BAIL.
Docs" a Cash. Bond Stand Good Till
Bay of Sentence?
Annie Stebbins, the negress convicted In
the criminal court Monday of larceny of
50 from Andy Grow, is reported to have
run away. She was at liberty on 5250
cash bail, and it was supposed she would
appear for sentence; but she cannot be
found. Pawnbroker Dan. Marx, who put
up the ball money, appeared at the court
house and demanded its return. A deputy
sheriff was thereupon dispatched to br(tis
the woman in and lock her up, but the
search of the officer proved in vain. 'Mr.
Marx therefore has not yet received his
cash, and unless Annie shows up he proo
ably will not, as the amount -will be de
clared forfeited by the court. Marx, how
ever, is no doubt secured, which, of course,
does not affect the merits of the matter
any. If the court thinks Marx is en
titled to the money, he will .let him have
it, and otherwise the court will do tne
other thing, with the chances somewhat
In favor of the latter. Marx has a re
ceipt from Jailer E. J. Dougherty, whlcii
reads: "Received from Dan Marx, 5250 ball
ior Annie Stebbins." The attorney for
Marx contends that the money was de
posited to Insure the appearance of the
woman; to stand -trial; that she came ana
was tried; and convicted, and ought to
have been taken into custody after con
viction, and that as she appeared for trial
Marx had completed his obligation, and
is entitled to the return of the bail.
On the other hand, It is argued that
where cash bail is furnished, the court
knows no owner. It is the property of tne
defendant, so far as the court is con
cerned, and stands for any appearance ot
the defendant, and is subject to forfeiture
iii the event of nonappearance.
When the jury returned a verdict of
guilty late Monday afternoon, Henry E.
McGinn, who appeared for the woman,
after speaking to the court and arranging,
as is usual, that the sentence should not
be passed immediately, remarked: "You
can go now, Annie." This was intended
to mean that the defendant would appear
in court when wanted.
Mr. Giltner, counsel for the state, in re
sponse, said: "If Mr. McGinn says she will
be here, I will take his word for it."
Judge George asked what the bail was,
and Mr. Gil&ier answered $250 in cash.
Attorney McGinn stated: "I don't know
much about her. I suppose she will De
here. I don't know."
Attorney Giltner remarked In that ease
the woman had better be detained.
The court said $250 was a great deal ot
money nowadays.
Mr. McGinn- further stated: "I suppose
she will be here if she says she will."
After some more parleying it was decid
ed to let the defendant go, with the un
derstanding: that the $250 would be for
feited if she did not answer the future
proceedings of the court.
Deposition Taken.
The damage suit of Willis D. Palmer
against the Title Guarantee & Trust Com
pany will be submitted to the jury by
Judge Sears this morning. John Mathe
son, the young man who was running" the
elevator in the Marquam building at the
time of the accident is not here, so his
deposition was taken and was read to
the jury. He states that just as the ele
vator started, and while the door was be
ing closed, Palmer made a jump through,
stopping the door in its motion, and fell
out or jumped out, and seemed to lose his
balance while on the edge of the elevator
cage. He says Palmer was responsible
for the door not being closed.
Several witnesses testified that it was
the custom of elevator men to give the
door a push to close It with one hand while
they moved the lever by which power is
appl'ed with the other, and that the door,
though moving very easily and rapidly,
would not be entirely closed until the
cage was several feet above the floor.
Whether or not thl3 practice constitutes
negligence when the person Jumps or falls
out is for the jury to dttermine.
Palmer avers that "the door was open
when he went to get out, and that he told
the elevator man he would not go up that
trip, and that just as he was going through
the door the man started the elevator.

PROMINENT RAILROADER.
Retirement of James Charlton From
the Clilonjrd and Alton.
Retirement of his father and promotion
of his brother to the pcoitlon made vacant
is the news that comes from Chicago to
A. D. Charlton, of this city. James Charl
ton, the general passenger and ticket
agent of the Chicago & Alton railway,
and father of the well-known assistant
general passenger agent or the Northern
Pacific in Portland, has stepped out of the
office he occupied 29 years, and his son
and former assistant, George J. Charlton,
has been made general passenger agent
in his stead. In railroad circles, James
Charlton Is widely known, and the an
nouncement of his vacating the important
office in the Chicago & Alton, although
not with the purpose of retiring from work
entirely, has been received with many
marks of regret and consideration. The
information from Chicago proves that the
Charlton family are railroad men. Three
members have already attained high po
sitions. The following letter from Mr.
Charlton in -response to expressions of re
gret from Kansas City raxoad men is a
lesson to young men who hesitate at work:
Chicago, Dec. 20, 1890. Gentlemen: I have
your telegram of yesterday, convejlng to me
friendly greetir-gs from 40 of my fellow railway
employes, traveling paesenger agents and ticket
agents of Kansas City, assembled at the ban
quet. ,27th Inst., tendered to Mr. C. R. David
son, retiring secretary of the Kansas City local
passenger bureau.
Yqur message gratified me beyond any word3
of mine to express. I am unable to give you
any Idea of even half the pleasure it gave me.
Thank you most sincerely for it. I wish I
could make return in some way for anything so
thoughtful, kindly meant and flattering.
I hope to be back In the ranks again speedily,
and be one of the boys, as usual.
For so young a man, It Ur too early for me tu
retire, and, besides, I am not of a retiring dis
position. In railway work, or in some other
work, in the future, as In the past, I shall ex
pend my superfluous energy unfil the night
cornea In which no man can. work. I shall wear'
out and not ni3t out. ' ' -
I hope that jou have had a merry Christmas
and that ou will have a happy Mew Year.
With gratitude for your abounding kindness
to me, yours respectfully,
J. CHARLTON.
A clipping from a Kansas City paper
will give some conception of the sentiment
of lailroad men of that place for the old
gentleman:
The passenger and ticket agent who assem
bled at the Midland hotel on Wednesday night,
when a banquet was glvdn In honor of C. R.
Davidson, formeily secretary of the Kansas
City passenger bureau, appointed a committee
to draft a suitable, telegram to be sent to James
Charlton, the honored general passenger agent
of the Chicago & Alton, who has resigned hla
position and leaves the service of that road
today. The committee, consisting of JE. S. Jew
ett, W. N. McDearmon and Henry N. Garland,
S8nt an appropriate message, expressing the re
gret the Kansa3 City passenger men feci at
the doparture of Mr. Charlton from the serv
ice, and yesterday the answer was received.
In Chicago, the home of Mr. Charlton
during his long term with the Chicago &
Alton, the esteem of those associated with
him is even higher, as will be seen from
the following, published in the Chicago
papers:
One of the last official acts o'f C. H. hap
pen, as vice-president and general manager of
the Chicago & Alton railroad, was to send the
following highly complimentary letter to James
Charlton, who was so long the general passen
ger and ticket agent of the Alton:
"Chicago, Dee. SQ, 1800. Mr. James Charl
ton, General PaGsenger Agent My Dear Mr.
Charlton: Before ou and I sever our Connec
tion with the Chicago & Alton road I desire to
thank you most heartily for jour valuable serv
ice to the company and for your lojalty and
support to ypur superior officers. I have never
known a more loyal and faithful official than
you have been. With high regards, I am, yours
very truly, C. H. CHAPPELL,
"Vice-President and General Manager."
James Charlton is one of the best-known
figures in the passenger ranks today, and
h assertions have had more effect in
shaping the policies of Western railroads
than. any man in the business. His rail
road career is interesting. He is a native
of Northumberland county, England, and
entered the railway service in April, 1S47,
as junior clerk in the freight department
of the Newcastle & Carlisle railway, New-castle-on-Tyne,
England. When he re
signed his connection with that company
he had attained the position of chief clerk
and cashier in the freight department.
He entered the auditor's office of the Great
Western ray-wajvof Canada, April, 1S57,
as assistant to the chief clerk, and after
wards served as clerk In charge of sta
tistics and freight accounts, chief clerk
auditor and general passenger agent. He
left the service of the Great Western rail
way in 1870 to accept the position of gen
eral passenger and ticket agent of the
North Missouri Railroad Company, which
he held from March 22, 1ST0, to July 13,
1871, when he resigned to accept the gen
eral passenger agency of the Chicago &
Alton railroad.
There is, perhaps, no traffic officer con
nected with any railway line in the coun
try who is better known or more highly
respected by the general public and rail
way officials than Mr. Charlton. Ho is rec
ognized as an authority on all matters per
taining to passenger traffic, and is looked
upon as the foremost passenger traffic
man in the country. Thoroughly experi
enced in all branches of the passenger busi
ness, he has by his methods brought the
passenger revenue of the Alton road to the
top of the list. He has been quick to take
advantage of all situations to keep his line
before the general public and close in
touch ilth the people, and there is per
haps no line so widely and favorably
known to the traveling public as the Chi
cago & Alton.
Mr. Charlton has been the friend of the
young men, willing to lend them a helping
hand at all times, and not a few go to
him constantly for advice. He has edu
cated and helped to their present positions
a number of young men who now occupy
positions as general or assistant general
passenger agents on a number of Western
and Southwestern lines.
The battle-cry of the passenger depart
ment of the Chicago & Alton railroad, un
der Mr. Charlton, was ','a reasonable com
mission to ticket agents, first, last and all
the time," and he has consistently adhered
to this position in the face of organized
opposition on the part cf strong lines in
the East who have tried to force other
methods in advertising and securing busi
ness. On two occasions have the entire
railway systems of the .East, backed by
very nearly the combined railway systems
of the West, Instituted boycotts against the
Chicago & .Alton railroad for adhering to
this policy, and twice has Mr. Charlton
fought them to a standstill where they
have been obliged to withdraw their "boy
cott and permit the Chicago & Alton to
conduct its business in Its own way.
Mr. Charlton is not only a railroad man,
but an Interesting writer and .forcible
speaker. Some of his letters and utter
ances have been widely printed and gener
ally read throughout the country. His
leisure hours are spent at his homo, where J

he has a private library second to few In
this country. Most of his time away from
official duties he spends in reading and
writing.
It goes without saying that the man who
has engineered the passenger traffic of the
Chicago & Alton through so many years
to success, and' who possesses the Indomit
able energy of James Charlton, will, within
a short time, again be in the harness as
a leading official of some other great sys
tem. THROUGH EXPRESS SERVICE.
Alaska Pacific Company JJillins to

of which M. G. Hall, of Portland, is gen
eral manager, has entered into an exclu
