Tacoma' Wheat Fleet Orient
al Transports.
No new charters for -wheat loading at
this port have been reported for nearly
three weeks. Ordinarily a protracted
spell of Idleness in this direction right at
the opening of the season "would indicate
considerable weakness in the freight mar
ket, but this year, contrary to all previous
experience, there Is a very limited
amount of tonnage offering, and even this
is held at rates which exporters refuse to
pay. Forty-five shillings has been the
maximum rate for the season to date,
four ships having been taken at this fig
ure about three weeks ago. Since that
time a number of offers of less than 45
shillings have been made, but the owners
have invariably refused them, and came
back with the statement that they pre
ferred to Walt, evidently feeling assured
of as good or better rates later In the
season when the wheat commences to
move. The same condition of Affairs pre
vails on the Sound, the only charter re
ported for several days, being the small
schooner Rlxnac, previously reported as
chartered for salmon at 47s Cd. She is
since reported as having the option of
Tsheat from Tacoma at 45 shillings.
The Rlckmer Rickmcrs, the last vessel
to finish loading, sailed from Astoria yes
terday morning, leaving four ships in the
river to finish. Of these the Harlech Cas
tle is loading at the elevator and the
others are waiting for the termination of
the strike, their lay days not counting
while the strike Is on. Two or three
cargo ships are due at Portland, but as
there Is enough wheat on spot to load a
dozen ships, they will not go Very far
toward cleaning up the docks.
TACOMA WHEAT FLEET.
The Ledger Is Adopting Seattle Ccn-
' sum" Taking: Methods.
The Tacoma Ledger is out with its an
nual announcement of the great deeds
that are to be done in the wheat ship
ping business during the coming season
at the city of uncertain destiny. In the
course of a flaring double-leaded article at
the top of a column, next to pure reading
matter, the Ledger states that the wheat
shipments from that port foe the coming
year will be double those of last year,
when "there were 42 wheat ships loaded
and dispatched from Tacoma." Consider
ing that Tacoma and Seattle together
loaded and dispatched but 33 wheat ships
compared with 95 from Portland for the
cereal year ending June 30, It is apparent
tha.t some of them wore counted twice.
This is an excellent method for padding
out harbor master's reports, but It Is use
less In Increasing the amount of wheat
afloat or the disbursements made by the
ships. Portland Is the greatest wheat
shipping port on the Pacific Coast, and
she will maintain her prestige.
ORIENTAL TRANSPORTS.
Government Is Makinjr Heavy Drafts
on the Available Tonnsre.
The Army transport business created
by the war in the Orient promises to
greatly exceed that of the Philippine war,
xind nearly a.11 of It will be handled from
the Pacific Coast. Fifteen big steam
ships have already been secured by the
Government, and more are under consid
eration. Thoss recently chartered are as
follows:

It Is reported from New York that a large
number of transports engaged for ser
vice by the Germans will be sent to the
Pacific Coast to be equipped and loaded
for the Orient.

Coos Bay Shipbuilding.
As soon as the schooner James Sen
nett is launched, says the Marshfield Sun,
work will commence on the erection of a
shed over the shipyard, the dimensions of
which will be 180 feet long, 56 feet wide
and on a height averaging from 36 to 40
feet. The building of this shed adds to
the permanency of the Marshfield ship
yard, and Is hailed with delight by all
-our go-ahead citizens. C A. Hooper, We
-understand. Is contemplating the con
struction of a number of craft here, and
the enterprise should be encouraged.
During the past five months this yard
has brought Into the -county something
over $23,000, which has been expended in
labor and material.
Steamer Iralda Sold.
The threatened rate war on The Dalles
route -has been averted by the purchase
by The Dalles, Portland & Astoria
Navigation Company of the little propel
ler Iralda, which will be continued on
the route. The Iralda has had a try at
nearly every route out of Portland, where
there was water enough to float her, and
her removal from the ranks of opposi
tion boats, will relieve the anxiety of
some of the owners who have lost money
in fighting the small steamer. The D.
P. & A. are adding to their fleet con
tinually, and will soon have their route
5retty well covered with steamers.

GALLERY OF OREGON
B. F. IRVINE, OF THE CORVALLIS TIMES.
B. P. Irvine was born in Linn County, Oregon, July 22. 1S5S." Ho was educated in the
common schools, and was graduated from Willamette University with the degree of B. S. in
1877. Recently he took an extension course ta history, and received the degree of A M
from the same institution in 1809. He purchased and consolidated the Benton Leader and
Corvallls Times in December, 1802, and has since conducted the consolidated concern as the
Corvallls Times. The paper enjoys a wide circulation, and is a business success. In October,
160S. Mr Irvine was appointed by Governor Lord as a regent of the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege, and In July, 1S9D, ho was elected by the board to bo treasurer of the institution for a
term of two years.
nese? Every man loves his own race
best, but every Just man loves jUsjtice
better than even race, creed or family.
The laudations of the educated sophist,
the desire of the materialist, the boast
of the warrior, the designs of the politi
cian, the will of the missionaries, are all
of no effect: for the voice of Justice in
dicts them all. although there is no court
on earth that can bring them to trial.
Might is right, say the Christian rob-
r "FMc-bt 1 rttrht sav the Chinese.
Will the Christian nations repeat the his-
tory of the Crusaders against the Mo-
hammedans? Docs not history furnish
them a lesson worthy of consideration?
Like the Crunndera of Old.
The Crusaders spent millions of money
and hundreds of thousands of men and
women were slaughtered on both sides,
and after all their wars and disasters
they returned to their Christian lands,
more In dismay than in triumph. And
Mohammedanism went forward rapidly.
and It became a power in that part of the
world-so much so that no Christian mis-
slonary can Justly claim to have been a
great success there from that day to this.
The great fillltary man has never, in
the -history of the Chinese, been set up as
an laeai. it nos ucen nit: atuuuis nun
philosophers that have ever been the great
exemplars and men of authority in China.
Thus Ihey learned the arts of peace.
Well might they call the Christian lnvad-
erS foreign aeVUS ana DBrDanUDS. J.ne
very same Christian desire for dominion
oxlsts today against the peaceful Chinese,
and is rtrenared to attempt Its enforce-
ment. as existed against the Mohamme-
dans and Jews 700 years ago; and will, no
doubt, In the end terminate In the same
way as did the unjust Invasion of the
Crusaders.

At this momentous crisis thefMayor and I some have asserted, be cgned to duty
City Council of San Francisco Invited a i In China. His services are more valuable
distinguished Chinese to address them
upon the Chinese question, and among
othor things he said:
We lived In Isolation from the rest 'oH
the world for tt00 years; we were peaceful
and contented with our seclusion; you
came with your warships and your offi
cials and broke In upon us. In spite of our
protest. You sought us, we did not seek
you. Now we are here under a sacred
treaty, and expect to abide by Its pro
visions, and expect you to do the same.
Your people complain because the Chi -
nese have learned your trades. They are
making hats, caps, boots, shoes, clothing,
clocks, - Jewelry, etc. Now, If you drive
them all back to China, with the knowl-
taeo tney nave acquirea nere, tney will
teach millions how to make them there,
and we will manufacture them there for
less than one-half of what they cost us
here, and then ship them hack to you In
larger volume at much less cost than we
can put them on the market here."
But tho agitation continued until the
terms of the treaty were modified to suit
ourselves, without being very considerate
of the Chinese in thc matter, and that
great Chinaman, Li Hung Chang, when
returning. to China by way of America,
after hlo visit to the Russian Czar, re
fused the offer of the American railroads
to travel on their lines or sail from a
city that sot so little value upon their
treaty obligations with the Chinese.
Senator Baker's Opinion.
Senator Baker, of California, during the
Chinese agitation, wrote through the col-
umns of the Argonaut many articles upon
the Chinese question, and he called the
attention of the public to the- fact that
"it was only a matter 6t transportation
that prevented tbo Chinese from over
whelming us." He also pointed out that
personal valor In modern warfare Is not
so much an essential as It was before the
invenSon of long-range guns, and that a
long-range rifle in the hands of a China
man Was as effective as If. in the hands
of the most valorous man. '(Another very
Important feature In warfare the China
man can live on a handful of rtce a day
and a little salt, and perform hanMxbor
with this small sustenance, What other
race of men on earth can do It?" These
are serious questions for thoughtful peo
ple to consider.
A well-written but misleading article
In the Seattle Times this week says that
"Confucius himself left no" ethical writ
ings." Let us see. We have before us
a translation by James Lege. D. D., of
the London Missionary Society, of the
works of ConfHclns. The very first reads
xao nuu uuiu3 b"v ,D . .
to whom he can pray." ''But there is
heaven that knows me." "The superior
man Is catholic and no partisan. The
mean man Is a partisan, and. not cath-

TVh
What should be done in order to secure
the submission of the people?' Confucius
replied: 'Advance the upright and set
aside the crooked; then the people will
submit. Advance the crooked and set
aside the upright; then the people will
not submit,' "
"The mind of the superior man Is con-

"The superior man thinks of virtue; the

NO CHECK ON NEELY
WHAT BRISTOW POTT2n,IX.HI3 ITT
VESTIGATIOS. Financial Affent in Cuba Embezzled
Over . $130,000 Wnere taa
Money Went.
WASHINGTON, July 25. The Postmaster-General
has made public the re
port of Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General Brlstow, who investigated the
Cuban postal frauds. Mr. Brlstow finds
that Mr. Neely's embezzlements aggre
gated at least $171,713, and says he was
Justified in recommending tho removal
of Director-General Rathbone. Whether
or not the latter was guilty with Neely,
he says there can bo no doubt that In
the matter of authorized per diem al
lowance of personal expenses and war
rants cashed and accounted for, he un
lawfully appropriated to his own use the
money of tho United States. For this,
Mr. Brlstow says be believes Mr. Rath
bone should be required to answer.
Mr. Brlstow explains that the Bureau
of Finance, Inaugurated by Director
General Rathbone, of which Neely was
appointed chief, was started July 7, 1S99.
This bureau was charged with the cus
tody of all statements and postal sup
plies. The division of postal accounts,
changed July 1, 199, to a division of the
Auditor's office, was In charge of Dr.
W. H. B.eeves. who was appointed by
the Secretary of War. Tho report says
that no accounts of the unbonded Post
master were required, remittance being
entered as cash sales, and the only In
formation tho Auditor's office had of
these transaetlonscame from Neely hlm
elf. There was no check whatever on
his transactions. From the accounts as
signed, the report says that the minimum
of Neely's embezzlements may bo sum
marized as follows: Shortage as shown
by his own records. 530.COO; excess of
credit by destruction of surcharged
statements definitely ascertained. $101,113;
total. $131,713. This will be Increased by
the discovery of sales ' of surcharged
stamps, but will not exceed $150,000 In the
a-nrregate.
The report says'that Rajhbone appolnt
rd Neely. who had custody of the
stamps; Reeves, the only man who could
hay a chpek on Neely's transaction, and
D. Warfleld, chief of the Bureau of Reg
istration, a commission to destroy the
surcharged stamns, of which Neelv had
fc&OGO, and that Neely and Reeves entered
Into a conspiracy to report a larger
quantity of stamos destroyed than were
actually destroyed. But, the report says.
Neely s fraudulent transactions were not
confined to these embezzlements, and
wh'le the amounts were small, compared
with the latter, they show the same utter
disregard for the interests of the public
service.
The report sets forth the drtalls of
numerous transactions with Neelv's print
ing house at Muncle. Ind.. through which
tho Government was charged large Hums
tor Printing and much smallpr amounts
remitted to the printers. It 1? alpo
shown that Neely bought furniture
through pji Indiana house, to be sont to
Cuba, nnd thit the firm allowed a "com
misson of $22 on a $14,874 bill of goods."
After showing that Neely was finan
finllv ombnrrassod when he went to
Cuba, and that his salary was onlv SlO
a month, the report dalB at considerable
length with the speculative ventures into
which Nelv branched out in Cuba. They
included the West Indian Tmdlnr Com
pany, in which, he Invested $12,500. a brick
plint at Havana, In which h invested
SP0 0M. nnd some mining schemes In
South America, Mr. Bristow submits
evidence that Neely's thefts began n
month after he went to Cuba.
The report sayw that Cr R. Rich, who
ras broucM tn Havana as Neely's as
sistant, told Mr. Rathbone that Neelv
was "crooked." Rithbone denied any
rvrh Information. The report savs:
"PIch claims to be innocent, but he
it la.st had knowledge of Neely's era
herzlements long before he claims to hnvp
o'd Rathbone. Rrv'vs confessnd that
Neelv paid him $4930 for conceallntr the
'rnd In the destruction of tne stnmns.
Both Rich and Reeves protest aglrt
ny criminal designs. How much credit
chnulii be given to the'r statements. It Is
difficult to dtermlne."
December 21. 1KS. when Rathbone was
."pnolnted Dlrector-Gpncral of Posts, his
salary ws fixed t WTft. At his rpouest.
the Postmaster-General allowed film n
ner diem of $3 in addition. He claims
this was not sufficient, and June 19 the
Postmnster-Geneml Increased the snfnry
to $W. with notification that with the
Increase the per diem' would cease. July
?4 Rathbone comolnlnpd that the Increase
errountprt to JC75. and asked for an of
ficial residence. This was also allowed.
Doeember 1 the Postmaster-General of
ficially fixed Rathbone'3 salary at $6500,
making it effective August 1. But. al
though the per diem was cut off. Rath
bone continued to draw It. When called
uron hv Colonel Burton for his athorltv
for this allowance, Rathbone submitted
the letter, suppressing that part of it
prohibiting the per diem.
The bills entered for furniture for tho
official residence, the report says, con
tain many items, such as clothing,
trunks, dog collar, overcoat, hats for
coachman, boots for coachman, shirts,
collars and cuffs for coachman, etc.
Rathbone claimed that it was the custom
of all countries that officials should bo
furnished with attendants, and that they
should be clothed at the expense of tho
revenues. When the character of thes
purchases became known to the Postmaster-General,
he wrote to Director
General Rathbone as follows:
"I have today for the first time seen
certain of your bills as Director-General
of Posts, which were brought here by
Colonel Burton. Some of these bills are
not only without authority or Justifica
tion, but are scandalous and never should
have been passed or paid. The Auditor,
who is responsible to a different depart
ment, was Inexcusable in allowing them,
and your action In presenting them for
allowance was grossly reprehensible.
Without waiting for a review and re
consideration of these bills by a right

Rathbone mode numerous official trips.
In April, 1S39, ho made a tour of inspec
tion, accompanied by his family, and
his expense account covered the entire
expense of his family. In May, of the
eame year, he came to the United States,
and he charged up as official expenses his
expenses to Cincinnati and Hamilton, O.,
where he went on private business. In
November, 1E39, when his family was In
Now York, he charged $236 for eight days
in New York while waiting for a steamer.
The report also calls attention to a war
rant for $500 drawn by Rathbone June 30,
ISM. for which no accounting was made,
and another $300 warrant was drawn in
May. It says: "There stands against
him. therefore, the charge of unlawfully
appropriating $1000 of the Cuban postal
funds for his own use."
The report also calls attention to many
other expenses by Rathbone for which no
vouchers were filed, although they could
have been easily obtained. For some
months miscellaneous expenses aggregat
ed as much as $550. There were such
items as "repairs, $230" and "freight,
$450." Reeves explained that he passed
such accounts because they had been al
lowed by the Director-General. The re
port does not credit this, saying: "The
evidence ls too strong of collusion be
tween Neely. Rathbone and Reeves."
SENSATIONAL TESTIMONY.
Youtney Seen With a Gun in Caleb
PoTvers' Office.
GEORGETOWN, Ky.. July 23. A dozen
or more witnesses who had been sum
moned on behalf of the commonwealth
In the trial of Caleb Powers, charged with
complicity In the shooting of Governor
Goebel, were excused today on motion of
the prosecution. As the same thing has
occurred each morning this week, the
total list of witnesses for the prosecution
has been reduced very materially. Somo
of those excused were put on their own
recognizance to appear and testify In the
case of Youtsey and others, which are in
tho distance.
This was the 15th day of the trial. The
defense asked that Robert Nooks be re
called, that they might ask him some
questions on one point, but stated that
they would recall him later for further
cross-examination. The prosecution con
sented to this, and Noaks was asked to
fix the time of the several conversations
he claimed to have had with Caleb Powers
at Frankfort. January 25.
McKenzle Todd, who was private secre
tary to Governor Taylor, was the next
witness called. Witness had seen Gov
ernor Taylor In conference with Powers,
Culton, Flnley and others frequently. He
saw Youtsey In the Governor's private
office twice doing some stenographic work.
Witness did not know why Youtsey was
doing this work, as the Governor had a
stenographer of his own. He saw Caleb
Powers and Youtsey together January 30.
Later the same day the witness saw Yout
sey come Into the Governor's reception
room carrying a gun. Youtsey took a
position by a window, nnd later went Into
the office of the Secretary of State, where
he knelt down by a window, out of which
ho pointed the gun. Powers saw Yout
sey, and asked witness to get him out
of the room, and witness asked Youtsey
what ho was doing there with a gun.
Youtsey said there was trouble at the
Legislative building. Witness told him
the Legislature had adjourned, and asked
Youtsey what he Intended to do In caso
of trouble. Youtsey said: "I don't In
tend to start trouble, but If It starts, this
building must be protected." Witness
said Caleb Powers then Joined In the
conversation and told Youtsey it would
never do for any one to shoot from that
building. Youtsey had the window raised
and the blind pulled down. Witness left
the room. Youtsey nnd Powers remaining.
On Monday following Powers told him
Youtsey was outside and wanted admis
sion to the office of the Secretary of State.
Powers said Youtsey acted so peculiarly
that ho did not want him around, and
asked witness to go out and get him
away. On Saturday prior to the assassi
nation, witness saw three guna in the of
fice of the Secretary of State. Youtsey
called the attention of the witness to
them by removing a plank, under which
they were concealed. Youtsey said:
"Powers claims to be a brave man, but
he hid his gun."
While Powers was In Jail at Frank
fort. Judge Matthews, formerly Secretary
of State, called on the witness and asked
him to sign a statement, Matthews was
making an Investigation in the interest
of Powers. Witness refused to talk with
Matthews or to sign the statement.
At this point the court suspended until
this afternoon, on account of tho Illness
of Juror Kemper.
At the afternoon session the Juror had
recovered sufficiently for tho case to
go on.
Louis D. Smith, a colored porter In tne
basement of the Legislative building, said
that the morning of the Van Meter-Berry
contest there was a large crowd of
monntalneers in the basement. Youtso
came in and gave them some orders.
They left hurriedly, but came back after
a while. Witness asked what wa3 going
on, and Green Golden said: "If our man
had been In his place, you would have
seen what was going on. If he had been
there, there would have been hell." This
was the day previous to tho shooting.
Witness corroborated the statements of
Watts and Porter, as to Youtsey running
through the basement immediately after
the shooting.
