Newspaper Page Textr THE HORNING- OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, MAY 12, 1900. EARTHQUAKE AT SE Experience of Ship St Mirren Off the Columbia. FURIOUS WAVES AND NO WIND Instruments on Shore Shorr There Was Disturbance Sonic Hoars Before Distance Reckoned. ASTORIA, Or., May It The British Ship Saint Mirren ihat arrived In this morning from Yokohama experienced a peculiar phenomenon last evening, tit -was abou half past 6 whn Captain Cordiner the bar pilot, boarded her from the pilot schooner San Jose. The -wind at the time was blowing light from the south, and there -was only a moderate swell on. Sud denly the sea. to the southward was seen to be in commotion, as if a hurricane wa3-blowing, but the wind did not increase as an immense wave approached the ves sel. The ship was tossed about for over two hours In a sea that wduld bury her In the water and then again lift her up and drop her down. The seas fre quently washed fclear over her. After this had continued for about two hours it subsided as quickly as It had ariser, and the wind immediately shifted, from south to east, then in a short time to northwest, going almost around the com pass In a few hours. The wind from the northwest was soon In the nature of a gale, and tjie .ship was under lower top sails dunng the night, but no injury was done to hr. Captain Hamilton and Cap tain Cordiner at first thought that a tidal wave was coming, but the long succession of big waves lead? them to the belief that there must have been an earthquake in thai vicinity. The self-recording government barom eter In the office of Weather Observer Johnson, of this city, -shows that about 4 o'clock yesterday morning there was an electrical or seismic disturbance In this -vicinity and the telegraph wires also gave evidence of it at the same time. "While the ship was experiencing the waves off the mouth of the river the ba rometer remained steady. This would in dicate that the waves resulted from an earthquake that happened early In the morning, and as the effect of an earth quake In Japan Is felt here 10 days later, it can readily be estimated how far away It was. w A suit was filed In the circuit cour to--day by Charles W. Shlvely against Clat sop County and Thomas LlmiUe, Sheriff, to compel a settlement of claims held by the county against the plaintiffs property for delinquent taxes for the yars 1S97 and 2KS. The plaintiff today paid $1100 on these delinquent taxes, and had previous ly paid $724 77. making a total of $1824 77, which he alleges is the full amount right fully due. On the other hand the rollE show the delinquent tax against this prop erty for the two 5 ears to have been slightly over $2800, but errors and double assessments were found sufficient to re duce it to $2022, which amount the County Court offered to accept in full settle ment. The payment of the J11M today leaves the sum of $137 23 at issue. , In support of his claim the plaintiff as serts that his property was assessed in 1S97 at $2S,W5, and in 1S?8 at $22,841, and alleges that the -valuations were fixed at one-third of the speculative value, wnlla the valuations on other property, both real and personal, throughout the county were fixed at one-third of the real value. In support of his first allegation he asserts that he has contracted to sell his holdings at about the amount of the assessed valu ation In 1697. He further alleges that legal fraud was perpetrated by the as sessor in thus maklnj an erroneous as sessment and In omitting from the rolls money, notes and accounts held by va rious other parties. He also alleges that the officers did not act according to law in the tax proceedings, in that fees charged against the property ere not al lowed by the statutes, and the sale of the property for taxes Is void. The complaint therefore asks that the Sheriff be re strained from Issuing a tax deed, and that the tax certificates be returned to the plaintiff without further cost to him. The case -will probably be tried at the June term of court. The schooner Pjpneer arrived oft the mouth of the river yesterday afternoon, bound for Knapptcn to load lumber. Sao was given orders from the pilot schooner to proceed to Aberdeen to load. The funeral of the late Mrs. Short, wife of Rev. "William Seymour Short, was held this afternoon from Grace Episcopal Church. The interior of the church had been beautifully decorated with white flowers and the chancel was a bank of floral design;. The services were con ducted by Rev. Mr. Potwine, of the Church of the Redeemer, Pendleton, and Rev. Mr. Simpson, of St. Mark's Church, PortUnd. The pall-bearers were past and present members of the vestry cf the Church. The interment was in Grezn wood Cemetery- CRAZY OVER. HUSBAND'S SUICIDE.

Hyde, of Baker City, have written letters favoring their pardon, and petitions have been forwarded to the Executive office, signed by 10 of the Jurors and a long list of the citizens of Baker County- The Jurors signing the petition are. B. R. Angcll, foreman; John Rohner, J. M. Burnslde, A. Case. William Defrees. T. B. Mascher. Alex. McQuowen, W. A. Owen, H. Lockcn, D. C. Perkins.

The circumstances under which the, crime was committed, as set out by the petition, show that the defendants were miners, and at the time the trouble oc curred were taking a lay-off In the town of Bourne. It was immediately after pay day, and they fell in with some crap gamblers and lost their money at the game, in which they claim they were not fairly dealt with.
