The British ship Halewood arrived In (ifstxjrta yesterday afternoon and' enjoys 'the distinction of being: the only dlsen l paged grain ship in the Northwest.

She has been off the market for a lew days, but It Is reported that when she was last offering' her owners demanded BO shillings. Exporters are still doubtful about paying cuch rates, but from present indications they may be forced to do so. The German bark ISdmund was char tered a few days ago at 45 shillings for January loading. She is one of the larg est vessels that ever came to Portland, exceeding in size by a few tons the mammoth Royal Forth, which was hero about a year ago. The Edmund's reg ister is 29S2 tons net, and she carries over B0OO tons of cargo. There are very few ships offering this side of January, end for the months beyond extreme prices are asked by owners, one firm offering a ship yesterday for June, 1801. cancellation at 41s 2d. ANOTHER BIO CARGO. British Baric Australia Cleared TTes terdaywortia Arrives Up. The British bark Australia, the fourth vessel of the September grain fleet, cleared yesterday for Queenstown or Fal mouth for orders, with 180,546 bushels of Xheat. valued at $76,000. The vessel was dispatched by Kerr, Glfford & Co., and will leave down the river this morning. "Her departure will not change the -position of the Portland fleet numerically, as the British ship Portia arrived up last evening and will take her place. The Danish ship Jupiter left down yesterday morning and will reach Astoria today. The river Is in excellent oonditlon this season, and there has been less trouble than ever before. When it is remem bered that but a few years ago vessels were obliged to lighter large quantities of wheat to Astoria and reload it at that port the improvement in the situa tion is all the more noticeable. Out of over 300,000 tons of wheat shipped foreign last season less than 1000 tons was light ered, and this year there will be a still smaller amount. the mtsterious EVA. Saxt Francisco Reporters Puzzled ' Over the Movements of Steamer. The German steamship Bva, which ar rived up last evening, has been reported for so many different kinds of business during the past few weaks that theSan Francisco reporters have been kept busy guessing where she was bound for. The Bulletin of Tuesday evening seemed to think it had solved the problem and printed the following: "We hope the cargo of the German Bteamer Eva has been definitely fixed at last. When she arrived here it was re ported that she was under charter to the Government to take horses and forage to Manila or China. She went north a few days after arrival, and it was then re ported that she had gone for a cargo ef coal for 'this port. She is now at Tacoma and the latest report is that she will load flour on the Sound for Vladlvostock and Hong Kong. All of the steamers which- ro north from San -Francisco do -not load Kn the Sound,' and the Eva -will commence load ing a cargo of flour in Portland - this morning. Fo'ar FlKbermen Broiraed.

John Mock, the well-known pioneer and farmer, who lives on the Peninsula below the Portland Flour Mills, has been severe ly criticised for not donating the right of way for a railway across his water front, which it is proposed to extend to Bt' Johns. Mr. Mock said yesterday that She did not see why he should donate a right of way for the railway. He had occupied the land for the past 48 years and had hewed his farm out of the dense forest in pioneer days with the hardest possible labor. The river makes a bend et his home, which stands on the -high bluff, and the route of the proposed rail way is across the low land in front which is covered with water and Mr. Mock does not see In what way it will benefit his land for this railway to cut through It He says that it will not be long before the. Northern Pacific Railway Company will want to build a bridge across the Columbia and come up the Peninsula and he does not propose to be In any hurry about donating a right of way across the low ground to any company. He does not see any prospects for the immediate construction of a switch, even if the right of way should be donated, but thinks a railway will be built to St Johns just as soon as business will Justify it and not before. EAST SIDE AFFAIRS. Faaeral of A. J. Knott Other Matters. The funeral of Andrew J. Knott pio neer of 1851, who died Monday morning, took place yesterday afternoon from his home on East Eighth and East Wash ington streets, and was attended by a large number of old residents and neigh bors. Rev. George B. Van Waters, xector of St David's Episcopal Church,- conducted the services at the house. Nearly the entire Legislative delegation from Mult nomah County attended In honor of their late brother. The pallbearers were Dr. John Welch, Dr. Wells, T. T. fitruble, L M. Parrish, ex-Governor S. Pennoyer and B. J. Jeffrey. At the close of the services in the house the remains were taken to Lone Fir cemetery, where the interment took place. All the children o'f the deceased were present at the funeral. His sister, Mrs. EL J. Flnnlcan, of San Francisco, was also present Tvreaty-efffhth-Street Water Main. Dr. C. H. Raffety, of the water com mittee, said yesterday that it would be a good thing if the property-owners on East Twenty-eighth street north of Sul livan's Gulch would grade that street through to Broadway. The contractor 'Is now grading East Twenty-eighth street south of Sullivan's Gulch, and a four-Inch main will be hold north from East An keny. If the street were also graded north of the gulch to Broadway the water main could then be extended. through the grounds of the Doembecher factory across Sullivan's Gulch and a connection made with the four-inch main on Broadway. This would provide a complete water circuit and do away with the dead end ,bbth on Broadway and East Twenty-eighth streets. Dr. Raffety said that the four inch main could be extended' over this route, and the six-Inch pipe on Oregon street could be extended out the Sandy road and also connected with the four-inch pipe on East Twenty-eighth, thus giving that whole district an ample service. The committee will not lay mains on unim proved streets, and In order to get it carried across Sullivan's Gulch, East Twenty-eighth street would have to be graded out It would be well worth the expense of the property-owners to have the grading done and get Bull Run water. E. R. Sanders' Condition. E. R. Sanders, an old soldier and mem ber of Sumner Post G. A R., who is at St Vincent s Hospital where he Is under treatment for blood .poisoning.

WHY BRYAN CANNOT WIN REASOKS FOR THE! GREAT CHANGE! - IW WASHINGTON. Reasonable Estimates Place the Mo . Kiniey Plurality la November as Hlffh as 1O.0O0. SEATTLE!, Wash., Sept 20. It is tho full expectation of nearly all Informed persons that the State of Washington will give a Republican majority in the November election. Reports received at state Republican headquarters here are of a .most encouraging nature. A careful poll lias been made of several test pre cincts in different parts of the state and, while the figures are not given out it Is said that they show astonishing gains over the very satisfactory Republican vote of 1898. Then the state gave a Re publican majority of 8000 for Supreme Judges, following the overwhelming Bryan victory of 1896. No state ever was politically more volatile than Wash ington; none ever more ready to go hell- GALLERY OF NEW MEMBERS KBt&g&S35SS!

Marlon County, came to Oregon In 1870 from 01msteadCounty, Minnesota. He was born in Germany CO year3 apo. AXter a short residence in Salem, where ho first went after reaching the "Willamette Valley, he bought a half section of land in the famous Waldo HIZs. and has resided there continuously" since. He Is possessed of a comfortable fortune, and Is regarded" as one of the county's most substantial citizens. Mr. Koene has been a life-lonir Republican casting his first vote for Abraham Lincoln. For 22 years he was School Director in district No. '80, Marlon County, and has served several terms as Justice of the Peace and Town Council man of Stayton. bent one way or the other as the humor orAwhlm or deep-seated sense of their own good ' takes possession of the voters. There Is less rigid adherence . to party lines her than In almost any other state; there is more civic pride In both city and state than elsewhere In the ex treme West, and party ties break before It The state will be for McKlnley this year because of the general conviction that Republican success is a good thing for the Nation and a better thinar for Washington. Expansion Is no glittering generality, no ralnbow-hued dreamj to the people of Puget Sound. It has had substantial results In the enormous amounts of money spent In fitting up the Government transports and supplying their cargoes and In the rapid growth of Oriental trade Incident to the Increasing world-Importance of Asia. A revised un derstanding as to the effects of free sil ver, a wholesome disgust with fusion, and the general National prosperity for the past four years "maySie enumerated as among other Influential factors that tend to lead the state Into saner ways. The fact that Washington gave BO00 for Congressman Jones and 8000 for Judge Anders In 1898, after 12,000 for Bryan In 1890, Is not at all conclusive that the Re publicans have a walk-over this Fall, or even that they will probably wta. This astonishing change simply shows that the voters at the time of election' are guided easily and surely by what -then seems to be .their pest Interest. In other words, it is not wise to expect that a man who voted the Republican ticket In 1898 will vote It again in 1900 merely be cause he did vote that way In the for mer year: The safest basis of calculation-is to ascertain what are the condi tions surrounding .the voter, and wha.t motives are likely to inspire his action. Tho full dinner-pail is the best possible argument over here. The state is well off, and It knows It, and is. satisfied. The price of wheat and the redemption of mortgages, exposing tho fallacies of free coinage, were responsible for the great overturning In Eastern Washington in 1898: -better prices for logs, lumber, coal, shingles and all sorts of produce, with steady employment at good wage3 in all lines of Industry, brought about the marked change In Western Wash ington. A general sentiment that the National Administration ought to be sus tained In the midst of war had much to do with It all, but all appeals to patriot Ism would have been In vain If the promises of 1890 had not been redeemed. To show the startling changes of two years, the election figures are wprth ex amination. Bryan received 51,646 votes; McKlnley, 39,153; Bryan's plurality, 12. 493. In 1898 Anders (Rep.), for Supreme Judge, got 40,36?; Houston (Fusion), 32,339; Anders plurality. 8023. In 1896 eight coun ties only went for McKlnley, as follows: Cowlitz, Island, Jefferson, Kitsap, Klick itat, Lewis, Pacific, San Juan, casting 11,500 out of 93.000 votes. Twenty-six coun ties were for Bryan. In 1898 four coun ties only, casting about 2000 votes, were for Houston. They were. Douglas. Frank lin, Stevens and Skamania. Thirty went for Anders. DTere are some figures from the counties In which, the most astonish ing changes were made: Bp. Fub. ReD. Fus. Clark 1497 1497 1375 937 Douglas 334 722 360 463 King! 6413 7497 620S 502 Lincoln 781 1715 1101 690 Okanogan .... 234 i 912 496 358 Pierce 4641 5404 4140 3570 Skamania .... 122 239 114 144 Snohomish ...1871 2775 1873 1852 Spokane 2701 5725 3890 2928 Stevens ....... 433 1880 758 759 Whatcom ..,.1971 2177 1909 1423 Whitman . ....1592 . 3578 2035 1652 Spokane County, for example, was for Bryan by 3000 majority more than 2 to 1. Two years later It gives a Republican plurality of nearly 1000. Whitman gives Bryan nearly 2 to 1; then goes Republi can. Lincoln was for Bryan by 2 to 1, and gies Andars 400. Stevens gives Bryan 4 to 1, and then splits even. It Is to be observed that the vote of 1S9S was some 19,600 less than two years before, and ' the f uslonlsts have always claimed that the reason they were beaten was that their voters stayed at home. They point out that there was only a small gain In the Republican -vote, and they say 'that the decrease in the total was substantially the' same as the decrease in their vote. It is exceedingly difficult to say Just how much merit there Is in this contention. But. assuming that It is correct what of it-? The problem of the fuslonlsts now Is to get their stay-at- bomes interested, and to induce them to vote the ticket when they do- go to the polls. i There is no dissatisfaction with the Presidential ticket on either side, but there is "with the state .tickets, on both slde3. Frlnk in himself Is not as strong a candidate as McKlnley by several thou sand votes, and, on the contrary, there Is what appears totf be a formidable bolt from Rogers on the fusion side. There is, too, 'a MIddle-of-the-Road movement which wlll cut sbnie figure as against both. Rogers and Bryan. That Frlnk will glean many anti-Rogers Populist votes Is not to be doubted. Whether 'these will be sufficient to make up the defections from him and place him even with 'Mc Klnley is a cniestion tnat the, election only can answer. The large new vote In this state Is mostly Republican, as shown by,the city elections both In Seattle 'and Tacoma, and they are an element that will be very helpful. Withal, It Is the serious. belief of Republican, managers that the majority for McKlnley will be at least 10.030 and the majority for Frlnk but little less. PRACTICING WITHOUT, LICENSE.

SALT LAKETffLOSANGELES BRIGHT PROSPECTS FOR THE NEW RAILROAD LINE. Utah City la Willing to Grant Every thing: the Promoters of the Road Aslc For. SALT LAKE, Utah, Sept 20. If a pub lic enterprise, can be measure by enthu siasm, the cities of Salt Lake and Los Angeles will be, connected by a direct and independent railroad system. Mr. Gibbon, of Los Angeles; Hon. R. C. Ker ens and C. A Bemls, of St. Louis, and others interested In the construction of the road are In the city and have been tendered a royal welcome. Senator Clark, of Montana, and J. Ross Clark are ex pected here Sunday. With the exception of the latter two, the above-named gen tlemen have been In conference with prominent citizens here perfecting the pre liminary work and their efforts have met with a hearty response. There seems to be every reason to be hove that the work will begin In a short time, and be ' pushed to a rapid con-v elusion. The finances for the construc tion have already been pledged and the most Important matter now to be arranged Is the terminal facilities In this city. It 'is believed tho city officials will be liberal In the matter of franchises. For the purpose of getting a full expression of opinion relating to franchises the May or called a mass meeting. The meeting, which was called to order in the Council chamber tonight, was characterized by harmony and enthusiasm throughout. J. E. Dooly presided and Spencer Clark was made secretary. T. E. Gibbons, repre senting the proposed railway company, presented the matter for the company and stated what the company desired In the way of franchises and depot grounds. A number of strong speeches were mado In support of granting all the company asked for. A resolution wa3 unanimously passed favoring, the petition of the com pany and appointing a committee of 50 to present the request to the City Council. NO FREIGHT POOL. Northern Pacific May Prevent an Agreement. NEW YORK, Sept. 20. The Times says: The optimistic views of the result of Tuesday's conference of Western presi dents, as expressed' by Chairman Jeffrey on Tuesday, are not generally shared by freight representatives and other railroad men in this city. That the absence from the conference of representatives of the Northern Pacific was more or less of an intentional slight, and that It forbodes 111 for the future of the St Paul committee was shown by a statement from President Mellcn of the Northern Pacific. "Will the Northern Pacific," he was asked," "Join in the organization of tho proposed St. Paul Traffic Committee?" "The Northern Pacific," answered Presi dent Mellen, "will under no circumstances Join In any pool, traffic committee or oth er such agreement, and Mr. Jeffrey has received no assurances from us to tho effect that we are favorably disposed to such a plan." This statement was made very emphati cally, and as It Is hardly probable that tho other roads will organize a cbmmit-.ee without the Northern Pacific, the terri torial committee's plan may have to be abandoned. But aside from this It was pointed out by the railroad officials that In spite of all statements, It was evident that the con ference had again failed to accomplish anything. "The appointment of committees which are to report at the next conference is nothing more or less than procrastina tion," said a freight official. "The com mittees may consider as much as they please; when It comes to reporting their deliberations at the next conference it will be found that no conclusion has been reached." Another official whose knowledge of the freight situation thioughout the country is very accurate, said: "The great question which the presi dents have not answered ard cannot solve is, 'What shall be done with the low-rate contracts entered Into between the Western roads and the Central Traffic Association connections on business origi nating In trunk line territory, and which low-rate contracts dp not expire until the next .year?' The answer to this ques tion Is explanation of why nothing defin ite has been done and why the commit tees have been ordered to report at the December conference. Nothing can be done until these contracts have expired which will be soon after, the December conference. One of tho principal items of freight covered by, these contracts is the tremendous apple ciop pt New York State, a large part of which will be moved West at low rates." It Is .understood that one of the mat ters under discussion at Tuesday's con ference, and which raised quite a dis turbance, was the demand that the Chi cago & Great Western return to the roads the sum of $50,000, which it was claimed It had received' In excess of Its share In the freight pool. Report nas It that the "representatives of that road made most strenuous objection to this demand, and that the matter Is not yet settled. A RAILROAD SCHOOL.

Haskell, of Springfield, Mass., Is president Is In session here. Walter G. Berg, chief engineer of the Lehigh Valley Railroad, "read a paper entitled "The Education of Railroad Men in the Subordinate Ranks for the Main tenance of Way Service," In which he ad vocated the establishment of a special railroad trade school to be devoted to the teaching of practical railroad work, the entrance requirements of which will be limited to a general common school edu cation. The school should consist of a regular course of one year and of an ad vanced course of one year In addition to a general course. Scholars for the regu lar course would be boys direct from public schools and young men who, after a few years' work In a shop, office, store or a railroad department, begin to real ize that their rapid success in life may depend largely on a better general know ledge of the familiarity with one sub ject or some specialty. The advanced course would be open to scholars who had completed the regular course and menwhose former education and subsequent railroad experience would qualify them to omit the regular course. The general course, consisting of lectures on the general railroad subjects, would be open to all comers In order to spread a better knowledge of the general con ditions, laws and public policy governing railroads among the general public. Another Bnrllngrton Short Line. A circular has been Issued from the office of Assistant General Passenger Agent Charlton, of the Northern Pacific, announcing the completion of the Bur lington & Missouri River Line between Aliance, Neb., and Denver, by way of Sidney, Sterling and Brush, making tho distance between Billings and Denver only 714 miles. This opens a new com petitive route between Montana, North ern Idaho and Eastern Washington points and Eastern Colorado, New Mexico and Eastern Texas, at a price ?5 less than It has been possible to quote over . the Northern Pacific and Burlington hereto fore.

He will be brought before the County Court tomorrow and given a special trial as to his sanity. HERE'S GOOD STUFF. The Brooklyn Eajsrle, Aarnin In Fine Form, Tackles Olney. Brooklyn Eagle. Some think that Richard Olney reflects or represents the present political views of Grover Cleveland. They 'argue that as Mr. Olney was Attorney-General and then Secretary of State under President Cleveland, the accord of the two on pol itics now Is plain. The theory Js a legit imate superficial presumption. But the facts under the presumption negative It Both Mr.' Cleveland and Mr. Olney are men of strong personality. Toward the close of Mr. Cleveland's Administration they affected each other unpleasantly as often as they did agreeably. Mr. Olney was desirous of the Democratic nomina tion for President In 1896. Like most men who have such a desire, ho failed to see why Us realization was Impossible. He was Identified with an Administra tion deserted by the party which created It Mr. 'Cleveland easily overshadowed everj- member of his Cabinet The un changeable Republicanism of Massachu setts rendered Democratic recourse to that state for a Presidential candidate contrary to the habit of politics. These things were not appreciated by Mr. Olney. Nor was his ambition rel ished by Mr. Cleveland, who thought that none of his Cabinet should seek prefer ment at hands that had warred on him. That caused tho "little rift within the lute which by and by makes all the music mute." Personal respect and personal courtesy were maintained, but those who think that Mr. Olney at the last stood or today stands so near to Mr. Cleveland's admiration and confidence as several oth er members of his Cabinet, are excusably Incorrect, only because the facts, as they are, are not known to them. This renders the letter of Mr. Olney to Henry L. Nelson, who exploited It In the New York World on Thursday, not only the expression of Mr. Olney alone, but It also explicitly relieves It of any relation to Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Cleveland from any .suspicion of liking for It The state ment Is due to Justice to history, which Involves Justice both to Mr. Cleveland and to Mr. Olney. as well as to the public, and which corrects the erroneous impres sion, eagerly adopted by uninformed writers, that Mr. Cleveland himself prob ably Inspired and possibly agrees with Mr. Olney's letter. The letter shows the still strenuous de sire of Mr. Olney for the Presidency of the United States. There Is not a word In It as to what kind of President Mr. Bryan would make. There are many words In It on what kind of President, in Mr. Olney's opinion, Mr. McKlnley has made. Plainly, the Presidency Is a displacing consideration In Mr. Olney's mind. He does not permit himself to dis cuss Mr. Bryan's claims or capacity for the office, but he Is convinced of Mr. McKinley's failure In It He Is appar ently thinking how the office would have been conducted under another man, un der a Democratic citizen of Massachu setts, for instance. And he contends that it has not been conducted in that way by a Republican citizen of Ohio, who undoubtedly holds It, In Mr. Olney's opin ion, because a Democratic citizen of Mas sachusetts was not nominated for It. This Is the more noticeable, when one recalls that in the letter Is not a word favorable to the Presidency of Grover Cleveland or alluding to him or to It at all. Mr. Olney is sincerely convinced, as those who know him are aware, that the errors from which he would have saved Mr. Cleveland, but for the latter's lndoclllty. would have made Republican success In 1S06 Impossible and Demo 'cratic victory then quite easy under a different and a better candidate a citi zen of Massachusetts, for instance. His conviction that Mr. Cleveland brought Bryanlsm on Democracy and Republi canism Into power accounts for his omis sion to commend the Administration with which he was connected. His criticism of the McKlnley Administration becomes less significant when his omission to com mend' Its predecessor Is explained. And his equally pointed omission to say one word for Mr. Bryan, or for Bryanlsm, Is further proof of his conviction that, while the Chief Magistracy may have been. In his opinion. Ill filled by Mr. Mc Klnley. and while it may possibly be bat ter filled by Mr. Bryan, It will never be properly filled until' the Deipocrat. who should have been nominated In 1S96 and ir00, shall be nominated and elected In 1201. Mr. Olney's condemnation of the Mc Klnley Administration should have been followed by some commendation of Bryan ism, as an alternative. The commenda tion Is wanting. Its absence affects the significance of Mr. Olney's strictures. In dependent men. Gold Democrats especial ly, are not praising McKlnleylsm. as Mr. Olney calls It, and do not feel called on to do so. They made It before and sup port It now cb an alternative only. Praise of It belongs to McKlnley men or to Re publicanism. Comparison of McKlnleylsm with Bryanlsm concerns Independent men, and especially Gold Democrats, but ap parently does not concern or, at least, does not engage, Mr. Olney's thought at all. This Is the fated weakness of his let ter. The men with whom ho has wrought, want less to know what are the faults of McKlnleylsm than what ore the merits of Bryanlsm. It has none, or, at least, none of them appears in Mr. Olney's" let ter. Tho men to whom and for whom he speak3, and with whom he has wrought, ter. If It had any In his mind, he could have mentioned them, but his failure to mention them gives to his criticisms on McKlnleylsm no educational, practical, or operative value to men of Independence who -wish to know what choice between forced alternatives they should make for country and for kind at this time. In short, Mr. Olney's letter Is "nil In the air." He Is constrained to criticise the McKlnley Administration, but neither his conscience nor his Intellect or does the reason reside In his temperament or. in his ambition? permits hhn for one mo ment to go ball for Bryanlsm or to en lighten voters hesitating between the two parties In this campaign. On this ac count the letter will have no other result than to align Mr. Olney with "regularity." and to number him among the "eligibles" by 1S04. But in the unlikely event of Mr. Bryan's election, Mr. Olney would find the Nebraskan keeping him at arm's length, for, George Fred Williams would be "the man of Massachusetts," and Rich ard Olney would not. Nor do aspirations and arguments al ways agree. They sometimes Jar. Wore Mr. Olney disinterested he had been freer and more candid In his thought and fairer In his statements. His criticism of ex pansion, for Instance, would then be unim paired by the fact that he is the pioneer expansionist among our modern states men. His Atlantic Monthly protest In December, 1S97, against the United States being any longer "a hermit nation," his demand then that we go to the East, and to Its consequences would not rise In Judg ment against him now. His record was a great one on that. His rhetoric today cannot rail that record off the pages of literature. Then he foresaw, and In ef fect advised what, over a year later, the destruction of the Maine and the ensuing war made as obligatory as inevitable. Now he faults, what then he favored and why he does so Is not unknown to his sometime colleagues, though It does not appear In the lines of his letter. His some time colleagues can read It between the lines. For Mr. Olney's fame, we could wish his disappointments with tho past had been ls galling, his devotion to his great chief more loyal, and his words in the present based on broader, higher, and nobler grounds. His letter Is apropos of nothing. The logic of it leads nowhere. Neither Cleveland nor McKlnley nor, manifestly. Bryan satisfies or gratifies him. We can conceive of but ono man who 13 his ideal. He has only himself to blame for that Ideal's recession from availability for public service. There are antitheses to great qualities, but In pol itics, there are no permanently effective substitutes for them. The election will enlighten Mr. Olney. who falls now to en lighten his countrymen. The result of that election will Intensify his critical power, but the objects of It will not be those whom he now condemns. They will be thoso to whom he has gone with out reason, but to whom, not without reason, should they succeed, his going will be without reward. AT THE HOTELS. I?' THE PORTLAND. E H Bryan.
