Icat River Strike.
SICAGWAT, Alaska, May 2L The first
ot the biff steamers -to leave Bennett for
Caribou started today with railroad ma
terial. A steam scow of 100 tons capacity
made a trial trip at Bennett yesterday,
and left today for Caribou. The lake Is
open with the exception of three miles
of ice, through which If is hoped to force
the boats "by their own power. The big
crowd that has gathered at Bennett to
go down the river will now get away.
Completing: the Railroad.
Railroad material is to be ruthed to
Caribou for laying the remainder of the
22 miles of track to "White Horee. The
track will be at "White Horse in 10 days.
"White Horse Is 11 miles from Skagway,
and the most northerly point of advance
of the iron horse on the western hemis
phere, That part of the road along Lake Ben
nett will le completed by July ZL Mean
time, passengers and freight will be
transferred over the lako from Bennett to
Caribou, SO mlle9, in steamers. Nine hun
dred men are working on the road along
the lake. One piece of the road there
ranks among the most costly in America.
A mile of the road will cost $250,000. Ordi
nary railroads cost $10,000 a mile. A giant
blast was set off on the lake shore a few
days ago that removed S000 cubic yards of
rock. A larger one will he fired In a
few days that will remove 15,000 cubic
yards. Five tons of powder will be used,
and the shot will be one of the largest
ever fired on the coast. It will cost about
$2000.
Many men are quitting work on the road
to go to the various interior mines. Fifty
quit yesterday. The road employes 1500
men and pays $3 30 a day of 11 hours on
the extension. Five hundred more men
are wanted.
No Gold at Haines.
There is no truth in the report of a
gold strike up the Chilkat River "back oi
Haines. The ground was salted. A stam
pede was made "by several, who came hack
disappointed.
J. M. Herman is here, en route to Hoota
linqua to examine 120 miles of river gold
dredging land leased by outside capital.
Herman represents a New Tork syndicate
which may put In a big dredging plant.
Herman is an Idaho man.
Coolc Inlet Open.
Advices come by the way of Sitka that
Cook Inlet is open for navigation, and
that it opened earlier this year than for
eeveral seasons. H. H. Hlldreth writes
that he left Sunrise March 20 in a small
boat for Kink, and arrived there four
days later, thus making the earliest trip
on record.
The town of Sunrise has had a popula
tion of 150 during the "Winter, and Is ex
pected to have 250 In the Summer. Hope,
on Turnagain Ann, has 75 population.
A FAVORABLE REPORT.
Brought by Wisconsin Investigators
In St. Helens Gold District.
CHEHALIS. "Wash., May 30. The com
mittee of stockholders who visited the
St. Helena mining district to Investigate
the properties of the St. Helens Gold Min
ing Company returned this week and have
gone to Milwaukee to report to the mem
bers of the company. From conversations
with the citizens of Chehalis It is known
that the report will be favorable, and that
development work will be pushed the com
ing Summer. The first work that will
probably bo done will be the driving of
ttvo tunnels, each 300 feet in length, on
two of the claims. There Is no road Into
the St. Helens district, and the trail Is
very long and difficult to travel. An ef
fort will be made to get the Cowlitz
County Commissioners to appropriate
money to build a road up the middle fork
of the Toutle River, and a road to ln
tercept that road will probably be built
from Mayfield on the Chehalls-Mossyrock
road to Oleson's, a distance of six or
eight miles.
STRIKE OX WAGNER CREEK.
Rich Ledge of Free-Milling Gold
Found by Old Miners.
ASHLAND, Or., May 30. A very rich
strike that Is causing much excitement
has been made on "Wagner Creek, a few
miles from town, on the Growler, owned
by Messrs. Corbett, Shupe and another
miner, who have been prospecting several
claims in that vicinity for the past few
years. The rich discovery, which dis
closes more free gold than any heretofore
known on any "Wagner Creek ledge. Is
in a new spot, and about SO feet from the
old Growler prospect shaft. A good body
of very rich free-milling ore Is already
exposed, and nuggets of considerable value
have been taken out. It is claimed that
this is the most important strike ever

wheat is piled up in the warehouse, and
the boys were amusing themselves by
climbing ove- the sacks. After a while
this grew monotonous, and the TattersoC
boy took his knife and cut a hole In the
sack at the bottom of & tier. The wheat
poured out on the floor, and the foundation
being thus undermined., the sacks above
tumbled down. The boy was buried
among them. His playmates called for
help, and several men went to his assist

America Granted Practically Every
thing Asked For.
NEW YORK, May 30. A. G. Spalding,
director of the athletic sports at the
Paris exposition, arrived on the Kaiser
Wllhelm der Grosse. Mr. Spalding spent
two weeks In Paris acquainting himself
with the arrangements for the athletic
games, which will be an Important fea
ture In the exposition, and he returns
well pleased with the result of his short
visit. He says that practically everything
America has asked for has been granted.
The most delicate request, and one caus
ing considerable discussion, was the ques
tion of changing the dates of the Sunday
games that the American athletes ex
pect to take part In. Mr. Spalding pre
sented an appeal from the Inter-Colle-glate
Association and other letters, had
personal Interviews with the French of
ficials and thought at one time It would
be Impossible to so arrange the dates
that they would meet the wishes of the
Inter-Colleglate Association. On arrival
In "New York, he was advised that his
assistant director, De Garmendla, has
cabled that all the championship games
in which Americans would appear had
been changed.
A 25-mile Marathon road race has been
added to the run on July 19. A valuable
prize will be given the winner. This
event was added at the special request of
President Pabbe, of the New England
Association, to give the American long
distance runners a chance to compete
against the world. The standing high
Jump and standing broad Jump were add
ed to the programme also, and the petition
of the William Barry Association to have
a Gaelic football competition between
their team and some others not yet select
ed has "been granted.
Thus far America has secured special
favor from the French officials, and, in
fact, a friendly disposition has been
shown to do everything In their power
to make It possible for this country to
be properly represented. America will be
well represented officially at the meet,
and the American athletic authorities who
may be in Paris during the games will be
cordially invited to officiate. The rules
under which all the athletic events will
be contested are to a certain extent
framed after the rules of the English
Athletic Association.
Mr. Spalding brings with him very fa
vorable Information for the amateur ath
letes that are going as to the height of
the hurdles and the number of hurdles In
each event and the obstacles and number
of same in the steeplechase, the kind of
hammer that will be allowed in the
throwing competition, and other Informa
tion which will be translated and pub
lished as soon as possible.

THE POWER BEHIND THE CITIZENS" TICKET.
It Stands for No Principles, and WH! Serve Only
Personal Ends.
Reprinted from The Oregonlan, May 26.
The Citizens ticket . . . was elected without regard to party lines,
the dominant purpose being to choose the men most eminently qualified to
act conceitedly with other lawmakers of the state in the Legislature.
Mltchell-McBrlde Campaign Gazette.
The rest of the state Is overwhelmingly Republican, and both branches
of the Legislature will be controlled by the Republicans. Mltchell-McBrlde
Campaign Pamphlet.
These are extracts from circulars with which the Mltchell-Mc-Bride
cress bureau has flooded Multnomah County. They show
completely the lines along which the Federal machine is working.
The essence of their promise to the voters Is that certain desired re
forms will be granted If
1. The Republican ticket la not snccessfal la Multnomah
Connty.
2. The Republican ticket Is successful outside of Multnomah
Connty. ,
The necessary Inference Is that the Republican candidates here
are untrustworthy, and will betray the people; and that the Re
publicans of the state at large are trustworthy and will not betray
the people. And, per contra, the Fusionlsts of Multnomah are hon
est friends of the people and the burdened taxpayer, and all other
Fusionlsts are not. Geographical lines are thus seen to make a vital
difference In the integrity of both parties. If some way could ue de
vised to Induce every. Republican to move into the country, and
every Fusionlst to come to the city, the moral tone of the whole
state would be vastly lifted, an Ideal political situation would result,
and everybody would be happy.
But let us examine the names of the Republicans for whom the
inspired McBride-Mltchell critics have such a low opinion, and of
the Fusionlsts for whom they entertain such a high opinion. The
Legislative candidates for this county are as follows, the first being
Republican, the second "Citizens":
State Senators
Geo. W. Bates.
Sylvester Farrell,
Donald Mackay,
J. Thorburn Ross,
Joint Senator
Ben P. Cornelius.
Representatives
C. W. Gay,
Geo. T. Myers,
F. H. Alllston,
W. E. Thomas,
Geo. L. Story,
Geo. R. Shaw,
John K. Kollock,
J. C Bayer.
Frank F. Freeman,
E. E. Mallory,
L. B. Seeley,
A. L. Mills.
Joint Representative
A. S. Dresser,
Comparisons are invidious, but The Oregonlan submits that, taken
man for man, the Republican candidates are gentlemen whose per
sonal standing Is quite as high as their opponents', and whose rec
ords entitle them to as full a measure ot public confidence. It feels
satisfied that they will discharge every duty they owe to this county
as conscientiously and Intelligently as the Fusionlsts. But there are
broader grounds for their election, which to every supporter of Re
publican principles and every opponent of Democratic principles
ought to be conclusive. These reasons In brief are that they are
the Republican candidates. Their election will do much It may
indeed be necessary to keep Oregon In the Republican column. It
makes for the maintenance of Republican policies. They will have
18 votes In the election of a United States Senator In 1901, and five
votes in 1903.
Every consideration of prudence and of sound policy re
quires that all Republicans vote for these 18 candidates, unless
they have a better reason for preferring: the others. Neither
the personnel of the Fusion ticket nor. the principles it repre
sents presents the better reason.
The "Citizens" nominees profess to be especial champions of the
Bingham primary law, tax reform, and a new, charter. How do they
propose to get them? By defeating the Republican nominees here,
and guaranteeing that the Legislature will nevertheless be Republi
can. They think It vital to the interests of the state that the Legis
lature be Republican, and that the way to persuade that Republican
body to make concessions to certain agitators and reformers In Port
land Is to send to Salem a Fusion delegation of 12 Democrats and
six Republicans. The real reformer Is the practical reformer who
proceeds In a practical way to secure his ends. The bogus reformer
only proposes to qualify for the favorable consideration o a Repub
lican Legislature by moving heaven and earth to defeat Republican
candidates. How can such persons make the issue against Republi
cans that they are antagonistic to them, and then hope to enforce
their demands on a Republican lawmaking body?
Some of these Citizens candidates have been at great pains to
assure the people that, despite plain evidence to the contrary, they
are still loyal Republicans. Mr. Mays said as much at West Port
land last Saturday night. Mr. Hunt Is a Republican otHce-holder
under the city administration. Dr. Smith was made County Physi
cian as a Republican, and now advertises himself as an Independent
Republican. Mr. Inman Is a Democrat who (presumably) voted for
McKlnley a queer way of manifesting his devotion to silver. Just as
voting for his associates will be a singular method for any Republi
can to show his friendship for the gold standard. Mr. Nottingham
still claims to be as sound a Republican as any other person in Port
land, and so doubtless do Mr. Tarpley and Mr. Thompson. Exclud
ing Mr. Inman, here are six out of 18 nominees who do not agree
with their colleagues on matters of National policy, and who want it
understood that in questions of this kind the line must be drawn. It
Is well known that these six gentlemen expect to vote for Mr. Mc
Brlde for Unl'td States Senator. That Is what they were put up for.
Now let us see who McBrlde Is. We have his own word for It given
through his press bureau In that Justly celebrated eulogy for which
he considerately furnished th e alleged facts that he is the original
gold-standard Senator from the great West. Just listen to this mod
est tribute to true worth:
The Senator who pioneered this remarkable movement In the far West
Is now, properly enough, one of the leaders of his party. His courage
in standing alone four years ago has noC only brought a goodly number
of recruits to his side, but It has, aided by his strong qualities as a man
and as a Senator, given him a high place In the councils of his party.
Without ostentation, without self-seeking, without brilliant speech-making
or any fictitious art of attracting attention. Senator McBrlde has ad
vanced to the very front rank on the Republican sldo of the chamber.
Few men In five years of service have risen to such prominence or at
tained position in which they could be of so much service to their constit
uents. The Senatorial campaign is now on In his state, and Republican
Senators without exception are glad to hear that there Is little or no
doubt of his re-election.
In the vernacular of the day, wouldn't that Jar you? And this
magnificent leader of his party, great though dumb, submits his bril
liant Republican record to his constituents, and asks the Democratic
party for re-election through indorsement of his six candidates run
ning with Its 12 candidates.
streets during the progress of a small
sized demonstration near by, and Police
man Hlmeles told them to move on.
Chaiupsky thought he had a right to re
main if he pleased, and so Informed the
officer. A second order was given, and
when Chaiupsky refused, he says, the of
ficer used his. baton on his head. Chaiup
sky and his wife then assailed the officer
with a shower of brickbats. One of them
struck Hlmeles en the arm, painfully in
juring him. Hlmeles drew his revolver
and fired twice at Chaiupsky, wounding
him In each leg. An ambulance conveyed
Chaiupsky to the City Hospital, where his
Injuries were dressed. His condition Is
not serious.
Public Interest in the strike veered to
day to the spoc'al meeting of the Police
Board, called for the purpose of devlflng
heroic measures to bring order out of the
strained condition 'Of affairs. The board
met during the afternoon and at once
decided to call upon Sheriff Pohlmann to
summon a posse comltatus to assist in
quelling the disturbances Incident to the
street-car strike, having failed In Its ef
forts to secure 2500 extra policemen to
preserve law and order. The action of
the board seems to have been precipitated
by the four riots In the southern part of
the city yesterday, during the progress of
which 11 persons received wounds. Sher- j
iff Pohlmann was present and heiu a
conference with the commissioners. He
stated that he had anticipated such a.
call, and had prepared a list of 600 names,
including many of the leading citizens
of St Louis, on whem he will call to
serve as" deputies.
After the meeting President Havre, of
the board, said the dignity of the city and
law both required that all local agencies
for the preservation of law and order
should be Invoked before a demand was
made upon the state to assist In preserv
ing order. The commissioners had. he
eald, asked the Sheriff to summon a
posse of 1000 men for this purpose, and
the Sheriff had promised to secure them
by Friday morning, serving processes upon
the best citizens. If; the flrsVcall for 10C0
men did not prove effective In the next
few days, the commissi sners would sum
mon another 1000 and put down disorder in
the city from whatever eource It- might
come. If It took 10 times the number of
men asked for In the first call.

MANY MARINE DISASTERS
PORTLAND GRAIN FLEET IS SAIL
ING IX HARD LUCK.
Oae Oatvrard and One Inward-Bound
3hlp Proved Total Losses and
Minor Accidents Were Many.
The returns are not oil In yet, but from
those at hand, it Is apparent that the 1S03
1900 grain fleet from Portland was an un
lucky one, for the underwriters. The total
loss of the Wandsbek near the Lizard a
few days ago, was the most disastrous for
tho underwriters,, as vessel and cargo both
went by the board- The Amphltrite, sail
ing earlier In the season, put Into Fayal
leaking, and was obliged to discharge sev
eral hundred tons of her cargo before she
could proceed to her destination. This
cost the underwriters several thousand
dollars, and they were even harder hit
by the Blythes-jvood. which put Into Val
paraiso leaking, and with about every
thing movable swept from her. Another
expensive bill had to be footed In San
Francisco- for repairs to the Ancyra, which
collided with a coasr-a few days after
leaving Portland, and had a narrow es
cape from total loss. The Dumrldgo was
caught by a hurricane In the Atlantic, and
limped Into Quecnstown sufficiently de
moralized to require the expenditure of a
large sum of money to make her "good
again.
These five cases were tho worst that
have happened to the outward-bound fleet,
but of tho in-bound fleet there was about
a dozen Insurance Jobs, with a month ot
the season yet to run. The disappearance
of the Annie Thomas, and her probable
loss with all on board, was the worst dis
aster to the en-route vessels, but among
the others which proved costly for the
underwriters were the Marechal "VHllers,
which spent about Ave months at Monte
video repairing damages received while
on the voyage out from France. The
Inverness-shlre lost anchors and chain and
sustained other damage at Honolulu; the
East African was on fire, and sustained
damages, and on expensive lawsuit, which
has not yet been settled, at Honolulu.
The Macduff made the longest passage on
record, between Calcutta and Portland,
and the St. Enoch made a similar run be
tween Panama and Portland, reinsurance
in both cases reaching dizzy heights. The
Argus, now in port. Is receiving costly
repairs, due to a collision with the Iolani,
and the Lizzie Bell and her cargo are both
the worse for wear, on account of con
tinued tussles with the elements. The
Magdalene-Margretha collision In Portland
harbor cost In the neighborhood of 520.000,
and thero were a number of insurance
Jobs of smaller proportions.
Aside from the property loss on the ves
sels mentioned, the yellow fever at Pan
ama killed about 20 men on the ships
Edenballymore, Aldebaran and Glenholm;
the captains of the Neck and Adolf died
on passage between the Pacific, and the
mate on the American ship T. F. Oakes
was brutally murdered on board the ship
In Portland harbor. Taking all of these
hard-luck stories Into consideration. It will
be seen that the present season's fleet ha3
had more misfortune than usual, and In
the aggregate these losses must have
made serious Inroads on the underwriters'
profits.
MADE A HANDSOME PROFIT.
Steamer City of Eugene Sold Yester
day at a Liberal Advance.
The hoodoo Is lifted from the freak
steamer City of Eugene, and during the
past month she has made more money for
her owners than she ever did before since
she has been running. When her origi
nal owners got her loaded to the guards
with debt, sho passed under the hammer
at United States Marshal's sale, about a
month ago. M. Olsen, the speculator, and
Ben McCauley, the hotel man, bought her
In for $1000. They were subjected to some
good-natured Joshing from their friends,
but steamboatment who knew the Intrin
sic value of the machinery In the unlucky
packet, considered It a bargain. Yester
day the speculators vindicated their Judg

Disraeli and Finance.
The Saturday Review.
Disraeli is a refutation of the common
notion that the genius of the Hebrew Is
confined to finance. Upon the three oc
casions when he appeared as Chancellor
of the Exchequer, Disraeli's budgets and
budget speeches appear to us far abler
than the numerous, voluminous and
much-vaunted performances of his rival
Gladstone in the same capacity. But no
body supposed that a Chancellor of the
Exchequer has anything to do -with
finance as the work Is understood In the
city. His figures are worked u-p for him
by the permanent officials, and his suc
cess or failure depends upon his knowl
edge or ignorance of human nature. In
the methods by which large fortunes are
gained. Disraeli's Interest was that of
the satirical novelist.
Of the countless opportunities of making
money safely and quietly, which his
friendship with the Rothschilds afforded,
he disdained to avail himself. But his
pecuniary difficulties are usually exag
gerated. His father left him 30.000. At
the age of 35 he married Mrs. Wyndham
Lewis and 000 a year. Mrs. Brydges
Williams sent him a check for 40,000
which, according to Sir William Fraser.
he left for several days In an unopened
envelope, and after his wife's death he
drew, when out of office, a first-class po
litical pension of 2000 a year. Besides
these sources of income, he made a good
deal by his books, such sums as 10,000
being mentioned In connection with "Lo
thatr," which was published In lSTO, and
"Endymlon," which appeared shortly be
fore his death. As he had no children.
it seems Impossible that Disraeli should
ever have been really distressed for money
(he had no contest after 1S46). though the
gossip was that he backed D'Orsay's bills,
and suffered In consequence years ot annoyance.

Cromwell and Lincoln.
Theodore Roosevelt, in Scrlbners.
Contrast Cromwell's conduct with that
of Lincoln Just before his second election
as President. There was a time In the
Summer of 1SS4 when It looked as If the
Democrats would win and elect McClel-

Ian. At that time it was infinitely more
essential to the salvation of the Union
that Lincoln should be continued in power
than it was to the salvation of the com
monwealth In 1634 that Cromwell should
be continued In power. Lincoln would
have been far more excusable than Crom
well If he had insisted upon keeping con
trol. Yet such a thought never entered
Lincoln's head. He prepared to abide in
good faith the decision of the people, and
one of the most touching Incidents of his
life Is the quiet and noble sincerity with
which he mado preparations. If McClel
lan were elected, to advise with him and
help him in every way, and to use hi
own power during the Interval between
McClellan's election and inauguration la
such a manner as would redound moat to
the advantage of the latter, and would
Increase as far as possible the chance for
the preservation of the Union. It waa at
this time in Cromwell's life that, at the
parting of the ways, he chose the wrong
way.
Great man though he was, and far
though the good that he did outbalanced
the evil, yet he lost tho right to stand,
with men like Washington and Lincoln la
modern times, and with the very, very
few who. like Tlmoleon, In some measure
approached their standard In ancient
times.
