5- .-.XHEMORMGOKGONIAN, -TUESDAY,- OCTOBER -23, 190G. flfEN THOUSAND TONNER KAJCKOTK GIABXIAXmr IS CHAR TERED FOR "WHEAT IOADDCG. "Will Ren-eh. Portls.nO. Early la De- ceadber Ttilwm Ste&mboatmeB Re- tsraing Olgra's Record. Rva. The British steamship Glenlochy wes chartered yesterday to load -wheat at Portland In December at 45 shillings. Steamers are not "wanted In the -wheat trade this season, as market conditions In Europe are not f avorahle to the sale ,o such large cargoes as are carried In the big- tramps, but as the most persistent efforts of the exporters have failed in securing sufficient sail tonnage to meet the needs of the port. It has become neces sary to fall back on the steamers. The owners of the Halewood, -which still has the distinction of being the only disen jgaged ship In the Paciflo North-west, re fused Bis 3d for the ship a few -weeks ago, and, so far as known, there has "not been a sailing vessel chartered in this -pcriElnce that time. The Glenlochy at 45 shillings for December -would make 46 8d an outside value for the Halewood at the present time, and the probabilities .are that her grasping owners -will never .again this season bave an opportunity to refuse the stiff rates they have been oC fered for the ship since "her arrival in the river. The 1900 -wheat crop in the Uorthwest, riogpther "with the largest carry-over on record, -will require a fleet fully -as large as that of 1897-93 to move it, and If it is 'possible to secure them, .more steamers will undoubtedly be pressed Into the serv ice, for it is impossible to get sailers. In 3SS7-S8 Portland loaded 11 big steamships and 125 sailers, and "wo "win probably ex ceed that record this season. If ships can be secured. Thus far but four steamers have been chartered on the entire coasx, compared -with 12 chartered at a similar 'date in 1897. Of the others, the Robert Adamson receives 60 shillings for Port 'lana, the Olga 50 shillings, Portland, or 40s 3d San Francisco, and the Slam 45 uhu. lings Son Francisco, or 43s 9d Portland. The Glenlochy is "well known in Port land. In 18S7 she loaded a cargo of lum ber here, -which for many months gave her the distinction of having carried the largest cargo of lumber that -was ever floated. She "was sent from Portland to the Orient by the Paciflo Export Lumber Company, and after discharging -went to Puget Sound and loaded a cargo of 222,000 bushels of "wheat for France. She Is a 7003-ton carrier, and is over 400 feet long. Hoaras KRoar the xuKOie. Portland Stetunbotttmea Hetara From a Summer In tne North. Every year Portland sends quite a del egation of expert steamboatmen to the Yukon River, -where they have secureu quite a reputation for skill in handling boats in the swift water. Bat few of them stay through the "Winter, and sev eral of them have returned to Portland within the past 10 days. Among the late arrivals are Captain George Shaver and Captain James Lee. They were accom panied as far as Seattle by Captain Frans Turner, -who will reach Portland this week, Captain Shaver has been piloting on the steamer Columbian, which wa commanded by Captain Sanborn, formerly well known on the "Willamette, but at present holding a Canadian master's li cense. Captain Dee was pilot on the Sybil with Captain Wallace Langley, ana Captain Turner was pilot on the 3teamer "Victorian, Douis Burt, of this city, being engineer on the steamer. Captain George Raabe has been pilot on the Yukoner, which was commanded by Captain Turnbull, who "was first officer on the Glenmorag when she was wreckea on North Beach a few years ago. Raabe will return to Portland in a few days, "tut Captain Turnbull will "Winter in the North. Captain "Will "Warren, of Astoria, is pilot on the steamer Bonanza King, and will remain at Dawson this "Winter. All of tliese men have been running be tween Dawson and White Horse Rapids, and there is another squad of Portlanders running steamers on the Lower Yukon between St. Michael and "Dawson. None of these men have yet reached Portland, but they will be along In a few days. Tne Portlanders are unable to secure Ca nadian licenses to go as masters of the steamers, but their superior skill over the Canadians enables them to command higher wages than Is paid the masters of many of the boats, and they are re lieved of all responsibility while acting as pilots only. ' MADE A RECORD PASSAGE. German Bark Olga. Sails Over 2000 Miles in 20 Day. The German bark Olga arrived In yes terday morning, after a record-brealatts passage of 25 days from Santa Rosalia. The Mexican port .from which she came Is well up In the Gulf of California, ana vessels leaving there are seldom expectea at Astoria in less tnan 45 to 50 days after leaving, and are not subjects for reinsurance until they are out from K to 90 days. Opinions differ on the water front as to the best previous record, but S5 days is said to be the best run that has been made, and If this is true the Olga has reduced the record a full week. She was so far ahead of time that some doubt was expressed about her Identity when she was first reported in. ATignst SXarine Disasters.

SPAIN'S MINISTERIAL CRISIS General Ascarraca. Has Formed a Jfevr Cabinet. MADRID, Oct. 23. General Ascarraga has succeeded in forming a Cabinet, with the following distribution of port folioa; President of the Council, General As carraga; Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mar quis Aguilar Campo; Minister "of War, General Llnaree; Minister of Finance, Senor Aller de Sallejar; .Minister of the Interior, Senor Ugarte; Minister of Jus tice, Marquis Vadlllo; Minister of -Public Instruction, Senor Garcia AUx; Minister of Agriculture and Public Works, Senor Sanchez Toca. The post of Minister of Marine has not yet been filled. General Ascarraga pre sented the list to the Queen Regent this evening, and the Ministers will take the oath tomorrow. In spite of the Ministerial crisis, of which he is the cause. General Weyler has taken up his duties as Captain-General of Madrid. He Is accused of anti Parliamentary Intentions and his appoint ment, which was made by the Minister of War, General Linares, unknown to the other Ministers, is regarded by them as tantamount to the abdication of power by Senor Sllvola, who thus throws himself Into the arms of militarism. Tho crisis was the outcome of a conflict between the civil and "military ele ments. Since their return from Cuba, Generals Weyler and Linares have gath ered around them a group In defense of the Interests of the army, and in spite of the budget's economies, which have been universally demanded, they aim to reconstruct- the army and navy. The flrst step in the direction of this plan was to proclaim the independence of the Minister of War among the members of the Cab inet and General Linares appointed Gen eral Weyler to be Captain-General of Madrid as part of this policy. General Weyler, who recently adhered to the" Lib eral party, which, he hoped, eventually would enable him to get the portfolio of war, announced that he accepted the post as a military man and not as a politician. Nevertheless, It Is thought his present action will cause him to be abandoned by the Liberals. Meantime, General Weyler retains his post, saying he was nominated by the government of the Queen Regent, and apparently he believes no one dares to remove him. BRITISH FACTORIES FAVORED. Transvaal Companies Discriminate Asrainst American Rolling-Stock. CAPE TOWN, Oct. 22. The Wltwaters rand gold mines, requiring rolling-stock for coal, placed an order for 15 heavy lo comotives with British manufacturers last August. Tenders for more than 400 trucks were received from the largest American and British factories, the American tender being far more favorable In point of price and quickness of delivery. The mining- In dustry being most anxious to favor the British, called for fresh tenders from British manufacturers, giving them a fur ther opportunity at the expense of valu able time. The American tenders are still much more advantageous. Nevertheless, the orders for 73 flat-bottom trucks are being placed In England, owing- to suit ability of design and to the strong ad vice of the military railwav authorities, who have promised to lend their own trucks in order to counterbalance the late British delivery. Orders for 160 bottom discharge trucks have been placed In America, The British firms in South Af rica, are all anxious to favor British trade, but the manufacturers must be more en ergetic, and realize the necessity of cheap er and quicker work, time being often of paramount importance. Von Buloiv's "Vew Office. BERLIN, Oct. 22. Count von Bulow by formal letters, has apprised the Bundes rath of Prince Hohenlohe's retirement and of his own appointment as Imperial Chan cellor and President of the Prussian Cabi net. He has called the flrst session of the Prussian Cabinet for tomorrow. Prince Hohenlohe is expected to arrive here to morrow evening to take his formal leave of the officers. The Bundesrath and Prus sian Cabinet will give dinners in his honor. American Transvaal Prisoners. COLOMBO, Ceylon. Oct 22. The state ment that the "United States has Inter vened with the view of the transfer of American Transvaal prisoners to a more salubrious climate has- astounded Ceylon. Among- the prisoners are an officer and six men described as Americans. They are all well, and have been so since their arrival. The prisoners' camp is situated In the healthiest locality. To Retain Its Gold. LONDON, Oct. 23. "With a view of re taining as much gold as possible in the country." says the Moscow correspondent of the Standard, "the Russian Govern ment has relaxed the law In the direction of permitting free traffic in uncoined gold, a privilege formerly limited to registered mlneowners. This change Is probably due to the discovery of rich gold fields on the Chinese side of the Amur River." Salisbury Goes to Balmoral. LONDON, Oct 22. Lord Salisbury has gone to Balmoral to submit to Queen Vic toria a few chinges in the Cabinet "Wolseler Will Visit Canada. LONDON. Oct 23.

Governor-General "Wood's Report ok EdHcatlonal Progress, Iamiffra- ; tiom From Spain, ter WASHINGTOiN, Oct 22. Major-General Leonard Wood today made va statement as .to the content of his civil report as Governor-General of Cuba, He says: "Every town of consequence ' In the island has been provided with a hospital, well equipped with all necessary supplies and appliances. The largest hospital, which is at Havana, is capable of' accom modating 2000 patients, and Is now serv ing as a general municipal hospital for that city. , ' "Asylums for orphan children have been established wherever necessary. The number of these Institutions bas- been greatly reduced during the -past few months, owing to the great improvement in the general conditions, existing in Cuba, children being taken tfack to their families or to their friends. It is the pur pose of the Government to establish four state Institutions, two for boys and two for girls, two to be-Industrial and agri cultural, and two to be correctional and Industrial. These Institutions- will ,bo capable of accommodating about 500 chil dren each, , and will be thoroughly equipped with all supplies and materials required by such an instltutloa under moderate conditions." ) General Wood describes the sweeping reform of the prison, system and of tho procedure of the courts, and notes ,that the writ of habeas corpus will take effect December L -Of free schools, he says: ' ""During the present year over 3000 "pub lic schools .have been established 3500 te&chers are einployed In them, and 15 000 children are In the schools. This num ber is constantly increasing, arid by the end of the present school year It is' be lieved we. shall have 250,000 children In school. .The largest number at school un der Spanish rule was between 26,000 and 30,000. The salarlespald the teachers are all' high, exceeding any pald-In.the United States In corresponding grades, with -the exception of three or four large cities. Sch.ool'-desks and supplies for 100.000 chil dren have been purchased, sent to the Island and put up. The' enthusiasm1 for public, education ls-great The tflppf 1900 teachers to Cambridge was beneficial, and attempts will' be made , to repeat itnext year." " " . " -General Wood tells of te improvement in sanitation, suppression of disease, maintenance of order, repair of -houses, .buildings, mall and telegraph service,- con-- structlon or roads, hriages ana ligni houses, founding "of new Industries and reform of taxation. He says: , . "Immigration, especially from Spain, Is heavy. It is probable tHat 60,000 will have entered Cuba during" the .present year, and the people are all Industrious and good workmen. The financial condition of the country is .excellent The. govern ment 1b entirely self-supporting, and' the treasury has an unincumbered" balance of $1,500,000. "The tobacco crop of last yearwas an Immense one. This year the sugar, crop will be between 650,000 and 600,000 tone. The value of this year's prop of sugar and the coming tobacco crop will be, conserv atively, $100,000,000. This does not includo the very large production of cocoa, of coffee and various vegetables and fruits, nor does it Include any of the proceeds from mining and many other Industries.',' Two elections have been held, conducted entirely by Cubans, and without disturb-' ance. An efficient customs service has been established, as well as a revenue cutter service and a harbor police and quarantine system. IN-HIS OWN STATE (Continued from First Pasra.lT B B. Odell, and he was at the head of the crowd. The speaking- took 'place In the Courthouse square and when at 2 o'clockthe two candidates appeared, arm in arm", on the platform, a great cheer went up. Mr. Odell Introduced Governor Roosevelt As the Governor stepped for ward he was presented with a dinner pall filled with farm products of 'various kinds. The Governor said: "This is what Mr. Bryan calls an as sorted argument," and, noticing that it was wrapped around with an American fleg, he continued: "Now, gentlemen, I want to call your attention to one fact; they have presented me with a full din ner pall and the American flag. (Ap plause.) I come here to appeal to you, no matter what may have been your po litical affiliations In the past, to appeal to you as Americans, as honest men, as good citizens, to support William Mc Klnley for re-election to the Presidency. (Great applause.) I appeal to the very men who are sensitive as to the good name of both state and Nation to sup port us when we stanc" against Bryan isrn and against that local form of Bry anlsm, Crdkerism. (Applause.) I appeal to both Republicans and Democrats, mind you, because the principles of Mr. Bryan and Mr. Croker have nothing In common with Democracy, as Democracy was un derstood in the days of Jefferson and An drew Jackson. Jefferson laid it down as a rule that the art of good government was the art of being honest How would Tammany Hall feel If that principle was read and applied to its organization? And now Tammany Hall, which has re duced the government of New York City to a by-word, is grasping for the gov ernment of New, York State and I ap peal to every Democrat; I appeal to every Democrat north of the Harlem to see to it that his party la. nqt prosti tuted as it has been prostituted south of the Harlem." At Kingston, KINGSTON, N. Y., Oct. 22. This city began Its reception to Governor Roose velt by sending 700 people on a special train to Newburg to meet Governor Roosevelt's special. Mr. Odell came up on the train 'wltfi the Governor. The com mittee on reception announced that the Interest was bo great that they had to arrange for three meetings in 'three dif ferent auditoriums. Each of these was packed with people at 8 o'clock. The Governor spoke flrst at the Academy of Music, while at the other halls, holding the audiences until his arrival, other per sons made brief speeches. Even the three halls failed to hold the people, and an outdoor meeting was necessary. Governor Roosevelt, in his speeches, took up some of Mr. Bryan's statements in the state, particularly the one In which Mr. Bryan, said that if elected to office he would crush out every private monop oly. He said: t "Why, that would mean crushing out every business and the doing away with a man's revenue on a patent. Mr. Bryan could not do such a thins, and he is dishonest when he sal's he would." A ,man In the audience cried "three cheers for Bryan," but Instead of the usual attack, the Governor smiled ana said: "Why?" and the man subsided. Later somebody asked: "What about the canals? a "I did not catch that," said-the Gov ernor. "It's only a kid," said another man. "Well, I 'have lx of those' said the Governor, amid a roar of laughter, "ana they are not a cause of contention." Outside of the 'T. M. C A. a stand had been erected, around which was a largo concourse Of people, and the Governor spoke a few -words 'there before proceed ing to the opera-house, wfyere he was booked for his third speech. As the Gov ernor climbed through a window and ap peared' on a temporary platform he was greeted with a mingling of cheers and hisses and htirrahs'f or -Bryan and hurrahs for Roosevelt c The 'Governor assured those assembled that It was a pleasure t0vseesuch a fine turn-out, He stated that be 'hoped good would be done even to those' upon whom the light had not yet ,shOne. This was greeted with xe newed ' cries of "Hurrah for Bryan," "Three, cheers for Bryan."" The Governor haugone on without noticing the Inter ruption, but, it continuing, he finally said: "There are some whom we cannot reach. (Any man who thinks noise Is a substitute for thought cannot be appealea to (great applause, mingled with shouts of."Rohfor Bryan"), and naturally feels like 'going the other way. (Applause.) x make an .appeal to every man, to every brave-and, honest man. (A voice: "Who gotv8hpt:ln the back?") No -stropger ap peal: than by those who fear to 'hear the truth. ? (A voice: "Who wad 'four miles away.?') When men will not listen to arguments, -you can guarantee that they represent a pretty Jjoor paVty. (Ap plauseL) When men are afraid 'to hear tha'truth, they are certain 'not'to be gooa citizens." -(Applause.) I appeal to every honest and decent citizen to vote against the party that encourages that kind of folly; rebuke rowdyism of that stamp. They show how utterly unsafe it would De tof trust, any kind of government In the hands of people of that sort. (Applause.) They are giving you an admirable object lesson iln Bryanlsm. (Cries of "Whatr the,matter with Teddy,? He's all right!") I would1 tell you, gentlemen, another thing. t They had better holler'- now, for they won't boiler after election. They have., added to my amusement tonight" (Laughter.) , v vAvolce I feel sorry for you, 'Teddy. "Go right on, gentlemen. With an ele ment ln-'your midst like that, those people naturally object to decent government (Crids of "Bryan, Bryan, Bryaji!'') Sup pose you give a cheer for broker or Agulnaldo? (Applause.)' Naturally, gen tlemen, they object to a meeting 'being held. Any man, whether a Republican or 'a Democrat, who will come 'to a meet ing and listen respectfully, is entitled to respectful treatment, and anypuch man s"" the" man who Is Insulted and oiltrageo by that kind of attack. Nothing 'that you can sayt would be as strong ad argument for "our party as such conduct as that tonight ' (Great applause.) The people who will 'do that kind of thing, are unlit to.be trusted with any kind of govern ment -(Applause.) They are a disgrace to their fellow-townsmqn, and 'If they are capableof feeling they are a disgrace to themselves." (Great applause,) The Governor closed by statjng that h had stayed longer than he had Intended, ae he-faund the nol3y gentlemen so interesting. PRESIDENT HADLEY'S " DI8 COVERT. Words , Abont "Imperialism" That Have Sense in Tlierii. 'New 'Xork Times, Ind. Dem. "President Hadley, of Yale, has discov ered -Hie bacillus of imperialism. " In a little, speech to Yale students 'explaining thatj he should vote for t Mckinley be cause he believed that If we 'must, have imperialism the McKinley sortwas safer thanVtKe Bryan sort he illuminated the paramount issue by this observation: Gentlemen, the question of imperialism was eettledJO years ago when, we began to build battlo-shlps Instead of forts. Olney and the Democrats wanted one kind of Imperialism; thoy wanted to fight .England. "That 'belong to a certain class oC pub lic 'utterances that fill us -with deep in ward conviction that there are. not Thanksgiving days enough in this coun try. We ought to have one every month or every week, a solemn occasl&n for ex pressing our gratitude that the" destinies of this Nation have been guided aa thpy have"' been, rather than as hey might have been through other instruments. 'What; A fine, noble figure we should have-cut at Santiago de Cuba, to say nothing" of Manila Bay, If a llhe oil far Beein,g' and broad-minded 'Americana, holding 'successively the great' office of Secretary of the Navy-Chandler, Whit ney, Tracy and Herbert had not created for us 'the Oregon, the Texas, the In diana, the Iowa, tho Brooklyn, and the other -ships df our fighting fleets; The old navy, though patched up by the ln dUstrio'Us Robeson, would have been hand ily sent to the bottom by Cervera, and then he. and Montojo there would have been nothing to.prevent would haye giv en us a merry" Summer all along the coast "But the-forts, the forts, cry all the voices of anti-Imperialism. Of course, the-f ortsr They 'might probably would have stood off the hostile fleets from New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and tho larg er coast cities; although we went In pret ty heavily for disappearing gun-carriages, which, aR we have just discovered, have a dreadful way of breaking down In the face of the enemy, and all the Jong's oxen and all the King's men couldn't tinker them up under fire. But even It we' had belted ourselves about with a con tinuous and Impregnable fortress from Eastport to the Rio Grande our commerce- would have been swept from' the sea; not a steamer, ship, brig, schooner, sloop, lugger, catboat. or dory flying the Amer ican flag would have been anywhere vis ible on the seven, seas. There Is no living American, certainly no President Hadley, probably not Ed ward Atkinson, who would pot have red dened with shame and hug his head in unbearable mortification if this Nation had been got into that disgraceful plight, shut up absolutely to Its own domain bv a ridiculous little enemy .prancing Inso lently up and down Its coastline a black and tan terrier prisontng a" great bear in Its hollow tree by mere yelping! Antl-lmperlalism would recommend the ounce of prevention we ought never to have provoked Spain, to war; we should have let her keep Cuba In the grasp of her palsied hand, and maintain a perpet ual hell upon earth at our very dcors. That does not meet the point In the flrst placo the American people had resolved that the palsied hand must let go, that the hell on earth should no longer shock our sense of humanity' and Imperil our peace. Wo had to put Spain out of this hemisphere. The historic time had come. But x that" was only a single occasion. Without ships of war, depending solely on our coast defense1", we Bhould hav6 to accept meekly whatever treatment a con temptuous world chose to give us. to put up with Insults, be robbed of bur right? and our Just dues, and exhibit ourselves to the Nations, In bulk and strength a giant, but mean-spirited, craven, despica ble.

CHANGES IN THE CAPITAL WOBK.ON THE -fraW'IiEGISI-AT-CVE HALL ABOUT COMPLETED. Alterations Made to Improve Aeons tics and to Make Roost for State Library Cost $11,000. SAILEM, Or., Oct 23. Tho work on tho new Legislative hall has been completed, with the exception of putting in electric light and gas fixtures. The change In the Capitol has cost some $11,000, and was made chiefly for the purpose of improv ing the acoustics of the Hall of Repre sentatives, although other great advan tages have also been gained. As the hall was formerly shaped, it was almost Impossible to understand a speaker half the distance across the room. The hall was two stories high. The change con sisted of putting a floor across the upper story, maklnc room for the state library above the Legislative hall. ' The Question has been asked whether the change has remedied the defect In the acoustics. In order to determine the matter a test was made today. It was found that a man speaking in a full con versational tone, while standing at the Speaker's desk, or the clerk's table, could be": distinctly heard ln any 4 part of tho room. As the room was empty, and the carpets are not yet laid, there was an echo that caused some confusion, but did not destroy the distinctness of words spoken. When tha "room 'Is occupied, the echo will be obviated, .and the acoustics will be perfect. The bar of the house has been moved forward about 10 feet, bringing the members' desks nearer the Speaker, and leaving more room for vis itors. Placed in Archives of State. The steel dies which were used Jn mak ing the medals for the Siranlsh War vol unteers have been turned over to Gov ernor Goer, and will be placed In the archives of tho state. Already several ap plications have been made for medals to replace medals which have been lost New medals-cannot bo supplied, for the reason that If the state should Issue a second medal to ex-volunteers, there would soon be duplicates and originals both in existence at the .same time. Convict to Take "Witness-Stand. Sheriff H. C. Cramer, of Wallowa Coun ty, last evening took Dennis Whltmore to Wallowa County to testify In a criminal case. Whltmore is a convict at the peni tentiary, and 13 .doing a three years' sen tence for perjury.

Oct. 22. Since, Sir Thom as Llpton's challenge, yachtsmen, havs re sumed with new warmth the discussion as to the adyfbabUIty of abandoning tl o historic course oft Sandy Hook for the more breezy neighborhood of Newport. This question will, of course, be settted behind closed doors at a joint conference of the cup committee of the New York Yacht Club, and afspecial committee oZ the Royal Ulster Yacht Club. A course off Newport presents many advantages. Good sailing breezes are to be had in those waters almost any day. and Bristol, not far from Newport, whero the Herreshoff shop3 are, afford every opportunity for quick repair of damages. But there Is a very serious drawbee':. The stiff breezes off Newport often bring fogs, which preclude racing. Moreover, racing on the Sandy Hook cqprse, means many more spectators than, woyld h.! tJ e case off Newport. Theso conditions mak-- it more than likely the old course- will be chosen.
