r THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, MARCH 24, 1900. CITY NEWS IN BRIEF AmBiemcBti Tonlcbt. OORDRAYS THEATER Matinee and evening. xn .Darkest Russia." Orchestra concert, 7-3A. PTR0P0LITAN THEATER (Third street) -uminee ana evening. "Caate." Steering Under an Umbrexuu River men are wondering -who the man Is that Biooa at the wheel o the steamer Jessie Borthwick as she came up the river a day or two since steerinc with one hand and holding an umbrella over his head with the other. As J. W. Cook bought the steamer over the vigorous competi tion o George T. Myers, to act as tender to his canneries on the Sound, It Is sup posed by some that the man at the wheel 'with the umbrella was Mr. Cook himself. -Not being a steamboat man, he might be excused for such a breach of steamboat etiquette. It was different in the case of Pilot Al Betts, who went on board a ship In the harbor to superintend moving her Co another dock, and who, as it was rain 5ug, put up his umbrella and gave his orders from its shelter. An old sea dog walked around him and, viewing him critically, exclaimed: "Strike me lucky if I haven't been all over the world, hut 1 never saw a pilot on duty carrying an umbrella before." The "Whale Piano House opens tonight the largest and handsomest piano estab lishment in the Northwest, at 12S Sjxth -street and 311 Alder. A magnificent "Li" ehaped store, extending from Sixth street 100 feet and thence to Alder. C. A. Whale ias been the leading piano dealer in "Willamette Valley and other points for the past 20 years, and has supplied thou sands of families In the Northwest. This house has immense capital, buys its stock for cash, insuring the lowest prices to customers, and carries all their contracts. Xact year over J6S.O0O worth cf lnstru tmcits were sold in Portland alone on the Installment plan, and no bank collector jer calls on their customers. Muslc ioers should not fall to see their hand seme piano parlors, containing the grand est assortment of pianos and organs ever exhibited in the city. This company is establishing branch houses In all the lead li g cities of the Northwest . New Revenue Stamp Ruling. Co'.lector cf Internal Revenue D. M. Dunne" has received from the Commissioner of In ternal Revenue a new ruling in regard to stamps on deeds or other Instruments whereby lands, tenements or other realty are sold, assigned, transferred or vested In a purchaser or purchasers. Heretofore a. 50-cent stamp has been required on all such documents where the value of the property transferred was over $100 and under $500. The Commissioner now holds that It is only on conveyances of prop varty "really sold" that conveyance stamps are required; that Is. upon conveyances w here a valuable consideration has 'passed, distinguishing between purchase and sale, and taking by descent or operation of law. The Commissioner adds that the' former Tullng was based on advice of the lAttorney-General, and that he has been in doubt as to Its correctness, and hence forth will give the benefit of the doubt to the taxpayer. Services Recognized. G. Rosenblatt who lately completed his 21st year's serv Sco In connection with the Liverpool & London & Globe Insurance Company, has received very complimentary letters from the secretary and manager of the com pany in San Francisco, recognizing his long and faithful services, and their best wishes for his future. Accompanying these was a very handsome and unique present. In the shape of a "sovereign purse," of solid gold. This Is In the form of a globe, with the marks of latitude and longitude thereon, and arranged Inside to hold sovereigns or $5 pieces. It Is Intend ed to be worn on one end of a double watch chain. The receptacle Is just the right size to hold a nickel, and Mr. Rosen blatt is informed that if he keeps It filled he will never be without a nickel for car fare, as he can draw on the "reserve fund" and thereby bo assured that he will not liave to walk home. Run Down bt a Scorcher. Captain George Pope Is the latest victim of the noiseless wheel. As he was crossing a street yesterday, a bicyclist ran Into him and, although he Is a solid man, knocked "him "seven ways for Sunday." The bi cyclist also flew all over the street. The Captain was stunned for a moment, but re covered his feet and his wind In time to bestow a parting salute on the careless rider. His remarks were forcible, but it Js to be feared they did not leave such a long black and blue streak on the bicyclist as the bicycle did on Captain Pope. Figs Ripening. A citizen of St. Johns, who was in the city yesterday, says that figs have been growing on a fig tree In ills garden all Winter and will soon be ripe. The tree ripened one crop last sea son, but the Winter set in before the sec ond crop could mature. The fruit, how ever, clung to the tree, and has kept In creasing in size all Winter, and, under the Influence of the present fine, warm weather, Is now maturing rapidly. It will be ready to pick In time to be out of the way of this season's crops. . Bankrupt Sale. Sealed bids for stock of hardware, implements and fixtures of W. E. Chandler, bankrupt, Lebanon.

He was gone nearly two weeks, and experienced delightful weather durlnir the entire trip. He found all the lighthouses in good order, and everything connected with them in satisfactory con dition. More Japs Coming.: The Asiatic liner Monmouthshire Is due to arrive here from Japan April 2. She brings a considerable number of passengers of the Japanesa persuasion. The Japanese will soon be as numerous on this coast as the Chinese were when the exclusion act was passed. Whether they are any more desirable cit izens Is another question. Noted Athletes Here. In addition to the noted wrestlers, boxers and athletes already In Portland. Ryan, a noted East ern boxer; and several others arrived In the city yesterday, and the big Jap is ex pected to 'arrive from San Francisco to day.

The mysterious disappearance of the steamboat Fearless has ceased to be a source of wonder to river men, who have concluded that she went to the bottom of the Columbia while her crew were visiting a saloon on the shore. It is supposed that by this time she is burled in the sand at the bot tom of the river, there to remain until In future ages, aeons hence, when the bed of the Columbia has become a sandstone quarry. Then her petrified remains will be exhumed, and will probably be taken for the fossil of some fish or reptile or flying machine, and will become an orna ment of the City Museum. It will be remembered that the Fearless was towing a scow up to the Cascades, and, on ac count of a violent wind, was obliged to anchor off Rooster Rock. The scow was also anchored, and then It is said the crew went ashore to visit a saloon, but it Is not known that there Is any saloon there. The crew, however, know. When they camo back, the Fearless was gone, and no one has seen "hide nor hair" of her since. It was at first supposed that some one had run off with her as a joke, and had probably hidden her In some slough or bayou, and the brush for miles around was searched, to no purpose. It is now. decided that the Fearless went down, witn nobody on board, and, as the river is two miles wide there and as deep as a well, with quite a current and a sandy bottom, she is now probably covered under the sand, and "so an end" of her.

VOLUN TEERS' FDXERAL. UoHr for Services Fixed at iO A. 2L Good Music Is Volnnteered Formation, of Procession. At a meeting last evening In the Armory, Generals Beebe and Summers, Majors Moore and Jubltz, Captain Dick and Lieu tenant Telfer arranged a programme for the formation and line of march Sunday. The hour for tho services to begin were definitely fixed at 10 A. M., Instead of 10:30 A. M., as has been understood. These will consume an hour or an hour and a half, which will give an Intermission before taking up the march at 1 P. M. 'The dis tance, between the Armory and the ceme tery can be covered in from an hour to an hour and a half, which will bring the pro cession to the grave by 2:30 or 3 P. M. There, but little time will be required, as the services will be strictly military and brief. As all transportation facilities will doubtless be crowded, the Guardsmen and Volunteers will probably And It necessary to walk back to the city, making a total march of approximately 10 miles for the afternoon. The long march has one regretable feature. The Grand Army veterans have been Intending to follow 'the soldier dead to the graves, with their fellow-comrades of the late Volunteer forces, but many of those who roughed it four years In 1E61 65 are too feeble for such a walk. Several of tho old soldiers have viewed the sltua tlon with sad disappointment. Governor Geer has informed the committee that he will attend the morning services, and ap preciates the honor of presiding. He and his party of state officials will be given proper place in the funeral procession. W. H. Boyer will have charge of the choir furnishing the vocal music An unex pected offer came to the committee from the Portland Symphony Orchestra, which expressed the hope that Its services would he found acceptable. The presence of this splendid orchestra insures the very best instrumental music obtainable in the city. Two bands have volunteered their serv icesthe First Regiment Band, O. N. G., and the Mount Tabor Band. A few frater nal organizations have reported for posi tions In the procession, but not nearly so many as were expected. Possibly many will be heard from today. In the Armory, arrangements will be made Saturday afternoon and evening for seating the vast numbers expected at the morning ceremonies. Major Dan J. Moore was last evening delegated to look after this part of the work. This afternoon the doors will be closed to the public, and Major Moore and J. P. Flnley will have the caskets placed on the catafalque and artillery, after which the vehicles will bo arranged In a semi-circle near where a platform will be erected for the Governor and speakers. Major Moore will provide seats on the lower floor for the relatives of families, the Emergency Corps and Red Cross, Grand Army of the Republic, the Volunteers and the auxiliary organiza tions to their camps, and for as many of the fraternal organizations as possible. That his work may be done intelligently, he asked all societies or organizations de siring scats on the lower floor, and who will attend In a body, to appoint a com mittee to confer with him at the Armory Sunday morning at 8 o'clock. If this is done all will be seated, without confusion. After the services are over, the Armory will be vacated that the Volunteers may form the funeral party Immediately after noon, so as to be ready for the march at 1 P. M. The line of march will be south on Eleventh from the Armory to Taylor ntrcct, east on Taylor street to Sixth, north on Sixth to Burnslde, east on Burn side to Fourth, eouth on Fourth to Jeffer son, east on Jefferson to the junction with Macadam street, which will be followed to the cemetery. First In the procession will be the mili tary escort, consisting of the National Guard. Naval Battalion, sailors from the United States steamship Perry, and such other military organizations as partici pate, all under command of Major Jubllz. Following these will be the funeral party, led by General Summers and all Volun teer officers, the Mount Tabor Band, sep arate Company B, Captain T. N. Dunbar, which Is the new Guard company com posed of Volunteers, and which has been selected as the firing squad: the clergy, or Chaplain Gilbert, the catafalque and ca'fsons, relatives of tho deceased, the Volunteers, Governor Geer and state offi cials. Mayor Storey and city officiate. Red Men. Native Sons. Foresters of America, Woodmen of the World, Knights of Mac cabees, company bf American-born Chi nese, company of Rough Riders. If there are other fraternal orders that desire to participate, they will be nrelened follow ing those named, and it will be quite necefaary for them to renort to Major Jubltz at least some tlmo today. In order to avoid confusion. The military escort consisting of the Guard, etc., will form In column on the west side of Eleventh street, with left resting on Davte street The funeral party will be under General Summers, and will form Inside the Armory. The Red Men will form In column on Couch street, fac ing west, column resting on Intersection of Eleventh.

Dick has been given com mand of the Guard Inside the Armory the morning of the services, nnd will have a detail of 40 men to keep order. Ther may be changes In the line of march, ai en effort will bo made to get the best streets, and there Is as general sentiment that the procession should proceed directly through the city to the cemetery. As the distance to the cemetery Is great, there Is also some discussion of means how th military organizations might be trans ported there and back. In order to avoid the long walk. General Summers has issued the follow, ing instructions to all volunteers who cara to take part In the march from the Arm ory to the cemetery: All will assemble in the upper hall of the Armory at 12:30 o'clock P. M., sharp. in khaki uniform, campaign hat leggings, no belts, officers wearing belts with re volvers, but ho sword. This, of course, does not apply to members of separate Company B, Captain Dunbar, so far as uniform is concerned, but this company will bo instructed to report to General Summers. All officers not In command of camps or companies will report to Adjutant-General Gantenbeln in the Board of Officers' room, for further Instructions, and will accompany the commanding ottt cer during the march. All volunteers not members of camps will be attached for the march. Major Charles E. Mcconeii will assume command of this battalion of veterans, and will detail officers to carry into execution his orders. Captain R. E. Davis will assume charge of the pall bearers and arrange that those from dif ferent companies are assigned to their proper places. The pallbearers will report in tho gymnasium of the Armory at 12:30 P. M. No white gloves or crepe will be worn, but pallbearers must have on the full khaki uniform, campaign hat and leggings. While in tho city tho caissons will be driven two abreast At the cemetery the order of exercises will be: Prayer by Chaplain Gilbert; military salute by sep arate Company B, acting as firing squad; "taps" by the Second Oregon bugle corps, filling graves and placing flowers. General Summers earnestly urge3 all volunteers to respond to this call, and hopes (which Is unnecessary) that a proper spirit of decorum will be main tained by all. Several meetlns calls have been Issued by different organizations. President Tay lor, of the Chamber of Commerce, asKS the members of that body to meet In Gen eral Beebe's quarters at the Armory at 9:45 A. M. Sunday. General Beebe asks that all the members of the brigade staff assemble at the same place at the same hour. Woodmen are requested to assem ble In their hall for the purpose of at tendine the funeral.
