THE MOttNING- OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 17. 1900.
TWO BIG SCORCHERS
Poltallock and Marion Light
body Make Record Runs.
FROM SANTA ROSALIA IN 25 DAYS
The Ieleeter Castle Finlwhe load-
iiB In Foat Tlnic French Baric
Altce Arrive.
The fleet from Santa Rosalia Is making
all former sailing records between the
southern port and Portland look Insig
nificant. From 46 to 50 days has general
ly been regarded as a good average run,
but about a month ago the German bark
Olga knocked about a week off the rec
ord by reaching Astoria 26 days after
leaving Santa Rosalia. She was followed
a few days later by the Malpo, which
made a smashing run of 31 days. Last
evening the British ship Marion Light
body and the British bark Poltalloch
were reported off the mouth of the river
with pilots aboard. If the sailing dates
given for these vessels are correct, they
have beaten the record just made by the
Olga. for they have been out but 25 days.
They both left on the same day. ana
have made remarkably fast and even
runs.
The Marion Lightbody comes under
charter to load wheat, but the Poltalloch
will have the distinction of being the only
disengaged grain ship in the Pacific
Northwest. Both of the vessels are over
2000 tons net register, and both have load
ed cargoes at Portland in past years.
FORTIETH GRAIN SHIP.
Leicester Caatle Finishes After But
Twelve Days in the River.
The British ship Leicester Castle fin
ished loading yesterday, and will cleai
today with about 130,000 bushels of wheat.
This makes a total of 40 cargoes of wheat
and flour that have cleared for Europe
and Africa lnce the opening of the cur
rent season, July L The delayed arrival
of a number of ships which, under ordi
nary circumstances, would have reached
Portland in time to have figured In the
fleet that has already sailed, prevented a
larger number clearing, but the showing
Is still a very good one. Despite all of
the Increased docking facilities and
the strong fight the Northern Pacific Is
making for Tacoma, the two Sound cities
have succeeded in dispatching but 20 car
goes of grain since the opening of the
season, July L Considering the territory
tapped by the Northern Pacific, and to
which the O. R. & N. has no access, and
where immense crops have been harvest
ed this year, the showing Is a very good
one.
Taking one season with another, and
Portland, of course, dispatches more than
two cargoes for every one that Is dis
patched from the Sound, but the present
season there Is no exportable surplus to
go from the Willamette "Valley, while
there Is tributary to Tacoma the largest
amount of wheat that has ever been
grown east of the mountains on the
Northern .Pacific lines. The Leicester
Castle was dispatched by the Portland
Grain Company, and has had about the
best dispatch of any vessel that has been
in the river this season. She arrived in
at Astoria November 4, and is ready for
sea after but 12 days' stay In the river.
The same firm Is loading the Gertrud,
and will finish her tomorrow or Monday.
BARIC ALICE ARRIVES.
French Veaael Makes a Loner Passage
In Ballast From Havre.
The French bark Alice arrived In yes
terday afternoon, after a slow passage of
161 days from Havre. She came out in
ballast, and, like most of the bounty
earners that are turned out by the
Frenoh yards, took plenty of time on the
way. The reinsurance brokers, as usual,
found the Alice a subject for speculation,
and as high as 10 per cent was reported
paid on her In Liverpool. Very few of
the vessels on which reinsurance has
been paid lately have failed to show up,
and If they continue to arrive, the rein
surance men will be forced to give a ves
sel a little more leeway than they have
been given lately. The Carmenlan, which
arrived at San Francisco last week, was
out but a. few days over the average pas
sage from Hong Kong, when 25 per cent
was offered on her, and she arrived In
due season and good shape. On the Al
exander McNeil and Lancing the rates
ran up to 60 and 76 per cent, and both of
them turned up all right. Now the big
German bark Alsterdamm, 170 days out
from New York for Japan, Is quoted at
12 per cent, notwithstanding the fact that
the vessel was always slow, and always
had bad luck but always reached port.
Inspectors to Go to Pnjjet Sonnd.
Local Inspectors Edwards and Fuller
left last evening for Puget Sound, where
they will look after some marine craft
In that district. Inspector Bryant is so
111 that he Is unable to attend to the du
ties of his office, and the Portland "n
epectors will look after the vessels in
that district until the Alaska inspectors
can be notified to come down and assist.
Messrs. Edwards and Fuller will return
to Portland early next week, and will go
to Astoria to Inspect the United States
steamer Columbine. They -("turned from
Lewlston yesterday, where they have
been inspecting the steamer Lewlston.

CAPTAIN POPE EXPLAINS.
Delar to the Deccan Due to Exercise
of "Discretionary Power.'
PORTLAND, Nov. 16. (To the Editor.)
Sir: Owing to absence from the city
yesterday, I did not see your strictures
anent the Deccan case, In reply to my
letter of the 14th. I have always, believed
that The Oregonlan would print both
sides of a controversy In a fair and
impartial manner, and believe so now,
although The Oregonlan is In error when
it states that I marked beams to be re
moved and renewed on the Deccan.
The unmitigated scoundrel who lied to
The Oregonlan should be exposed, and I
think It but right that you should give
his name to the public. In order that
neither you nor the public may be further
deceived. I will state that I never stopped
the caulking of the deck until It was com
pleted, but, owing to rainy weather, the
caulking was suspended at the main
hatch, and. when the weather became
more favorable, was completed to my
satisfaction. I gave Captain Barrett a
preliminary certificate as soon as repairs
had been Inaugurated, so that the mer
chant should not be put to delay In any j
way whatever. As to your remark aDout
my not adhering to my findings regard- I
Ing the removal of deck beams, I may j
say that In all cases of damage i nave
a certain discretionary power vested in
me, which I am supposed to use to the
interest of shipping; but. as no deck
beams had been ordered to be removed,
there was no need for using the above
mentioned discretionary power.
Now, sir, as your reporter did not see
fit to call upon the parties mentioned In
my former communication, who could
have Informed him correctly as to the
true status of this case, I have the honor
to hand you a copy of all surveys with
which I was connected on this vessel,
same being duly certified by Lloyd's
agent at this port, for publication in
your paper, should you deem It necessary
or advisable to use them In this way.
In conclusion, permit me to say that
there has been no hold-up, nor was any
ever attempted, on this vessel. The Dec
can left here Under temporary repair,
and, if she gets to Europe, her case will
be heard from again.
Thanking you for the courtesy of ex
tending to me the privilege of using your
columns, I am. sir, your obedient servant,
GEORGE POPE,
Surveyor to Lloyd's Register.
There was no "unmitigated scoundrel
who lied to The Oregonlan," and accord
ingly no exposure Is due. Captain Bar
rett, of the Deccan, could undoubtedly do
something In the exposing line, had the
pent-up Indignation of Captain Pope burst
Its bounds before the Deccan was -hull
down at sea on the way to England. The
copy of surveys mentioned In the above
communication were duly received. They
are of the usual formal, stereotyped
style, and all of the essential points they
contain were fully covered In the former
communication from Captain Pope. There
Is but one surveyor which The Oregonlan
Is considering In this matter, and that is
Lloyd's surveyor. In the above communi
cation he says: "In all cases of damage
I have a certain discretionary power."
It was the perhaps unintentional abuse
of this "discretionary power" that caused
Captain Pope t6 mark a number of the
beams In the Deccan as damaged.
According to the testimony of Captain
Barrett, of the Deccan, a gentleman
whose reputation for veracity will com
pare favorably with that of others bear
ing the same title, Lloyd's surveyor
placed chalk marks on a number of the
deck beams of the ship, and told the cap
tain that they would need to be replaced
or repaired. These marks were seen by
a number of people In this city, and they
were still on the beams when the Deccan
sailed. Captain Barrett stated that he
would resign command of his ship before
he would submit to what he termed
"high-handed extortion" In having a new
ship torn up without cause. It was his
firm stand which finally resulted in the
ship going out with no other repairs to
the deck beams but the chalk marks
which Lloyd's, surveyor had placed there.
Herein Captain Pope made a mistake.
After chalking up those beams as dam
aged, It would appear that he wasyiere
llct In his duty as a surveyor when he
passed the ship as being In good order,
for according to his chalk marks she
was not In good order.
The only delay that the "merchant" suf
fered In the case was while the numer
ous surveys were being held, and by the
time the projected repairing of deck
beams had given way to caulking the
deck the merchant had another ship ready
and did not need the Deccan. The "pre
liminary certificate" mentioned showed
the ship to be In good condition, and the
work was finished later simply because
the merchant refused to sign bills of lad
ing until It was done. By placing some
thing besides chalk marks on those beams
considerable money would have been dis
tributed In this port, but too much exer
cise of "discretionary power" Is "not good
for the port. Shipowners prefer ports
where ships are given quick dispatch, and
they must have it in Portland if It be
comes necessary to keep the chalk marks
off of every beam In tho vessels which
visit us.
FOUR MEN HELD-UP ONE.
Boatsvrnin "Wlnstrup, of the Perry,
Robbed This Morning:.
While Boatswain Thomas Wlnstrup, of
the United States revenue cutter Perry,
was on his way to the dock at the foot
of Davis street, at 12:30 this morning, he
was suddenly knocked down by four men
and his pockets rifled. The thugs weru
In such great haste that they cut his
clothes with knives in order to reach
them. In all they took $5. The thugn
then scattered and ran away. The hold
up occurred about Front and Davis, and
at the foot of the street the boat was
moored which he was going to take to
the cutter. Wlnstrup immediately noti
fied the police station, but no trace of
them was found In the vicinity. Owing
to the darkness, Wlnstrup could give no
accurate description of his assailants.
Destroying- the TJewey Arch.
NEW YORK, Nov. 16. A dozen men
with pickaxes, crowbars and shovels ap
peared at Madison Square at midnight to
begin the work of removing the Dewey
arch. In a. few minutes the laborers pulled
away the heavy coating of staff around
the base of the pedestal situated on the
Park side, near Twenty-fifth street. A
crowd collected around the men. Relic
hunters by the score appeared, and each
sought to obtain some section of the
sculptured figure of "Victory." -which
ornamented the front of all the columns.
The skeleton of the column was laid bare
In a few minutes, and the woodwork was
torn apart and laid on the sidewalk. The
work was done under the direction of a
foreman of the department of streets and
highways.

J. J. HILL WILL RETIRE I
TO TURK OVER PRESIDEXCY OF
GREAT NORTHERN TO HIS SOX.
The Elder, However, "Will Be Chair,
man of the Bonrd of Directors
I Tonng Man Well Fitted.
ST. PAUL, Minn., Nov. 16. An im
portant, though not unlooked for,
change Is due in the official family of
the Great Northern the retirement of
James J. Hill from the presidency and
his election as chairman of the directo
rate. His eldest son. James N. Hill, now
the president's Tight-hand man, will bv
made president of the Great Northern.
Two years ago Mr. Hill commenced to
prepare for this step by putting on oth
ers the responsibilities of several offices
which rested on his shoulders. The last
act of the Great Northern directors, a
few weeks ago, was the election of James
N. Hill as president of the Montana Cen
tral to succeed James J. Hill. Louis Hill
has been made president of the Eastern
Minnesota, an Important branch of the
Great Northern system.
In the last two years Mr. Hill has un
loaded 12 subsidiary offices he held, and
the next and final step In the programme
is about due. The directors of the Great
Northern should Have met and elected
officers a month ago, but It s a signifi
cant fact that no election has yet been
held. Mr. Hill Is now In New York, and
It Is believed that on his return, 10 day
hence, the programme will be completed
and thit Mr. Hill will retire from the
presidency.
J. N. Hill's fitness for the place is not
denied by those who know him best. Al
though a comparatively young man, ue
has had an exceptional schooling through
his close contact with bis father.
"WHAT HILL AND MELLEN DID.
Their Seattle Conference and Steps
Toward an Adjustment.
The Tacoma Ledger prints the follow
ing account of the recent conference of
Presidents' Hill and Mellen, and what
they accomplished toward settlement of
the differences of the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific in Seattle:
"What was done all came about by rea
son of the meeting of Mr. Hill, of ths
Great Northern, and Mr. Mellen, of the
Northern Pacific, on the coast three
weeks ago. Up to that time there had
been a wide difference between the two
railway magnates, and so far had they
got apart that for months there had been
no overtures regarding coast terminals of
any kind made by either of them. A
.week prior to Mr. Melltn's an val here
he left St. Paul on one of his periodical
visits over the road prior to the meeting
of the directors in New York. While en
route he received a message from Mr.
Hill stating that he was coming West
with one of the directors of both roads,
and would like to meet and have a con
ference with Mr. Mellen at Seattle. Mr.
Mellen delayed his return trip and await
ed the arrival of the Great Northern
president. It was then that the two men,
with the mutual directors, had their con
ference, which lasted for two days. The
Pacific Coast Company was the mediator
and at the conclusion of the meeting it
was announced that the .two roads, for
the first time since the trouble came up,
were In a position whereby they might
come to an agreement providing certain
things that were In the way could be re
moved. "After the first conference It was found
that the Northern Pacific president was
not, by reason of his having- the key to
the situation In the Seattle terminal mat
ter, disposed to be unfair. On the con
trary, Mr. Mellen exhibited a disposition
to make the matter easy for Mr. Hill
providing he could be assured that the
Northern Pacific would have all Its rights
protected, and that not only at the pres
ent time, but for all time In the future,
the Northern Pacific Company' would be
able to care for Its business at that
point without having something turn up
that would result In shutting the road
out or Interfering with its business. Mr.
Mellen expressed willingness to allow tno
property holding? of his company In Seat
tle, which In reality control the situation
there, so far as terminals are concerned,
to He dormant so far as railway facili
ties are concerned, as all their holdings,
he said, were of such a nature that they
would take care of themselves. That is,
they were capable of bringing In a good
revenue. This was a position that the
Great Northern had not expected the
Northern Pacific to take, and Mr. Hill ex
pressed himself after the conference had
been concluded that It was eminently
fair.
"There were matters, however, in the
carrying out of the plans of the North
ern Pacific that had to be adjusted before
the situation would be acceptable to that
line, and In some of these the Pacific
Coast Company was Involved. Among
these there was a right-of-way over the
Columbia & Puget Sound Railway from
Black River Junction that had to be set
tled. The Northern Pacific for some
years has had an entrance to Seattle over
this line, belonging to the Pacific Coast
Company. When the Seattle & San Fran
cisco Railway was organized It was for
the purpose of developing the coal fields
at Leary, on the Palmer cut-off of the
Northern Pacific It had Its terminals in
Seattle, which were purchased by the
Northern Pacific and then leased to the
new road.. But In order that the product
of the mines might be brought to Seattle,
It was necessary for the Northern Paclflo
to give the new company a traffic ar
rangement ovtr the leased Columbia &
Puget Sound road from Black Rive
Junction. This It did, but no sooner had
the Seattle & San Francisco begun to
bring In Its product than the Pacific
Coa3t Company stepped In and declared
that the Northern Pacific had no right
to make a traffic arrangement with an
other company, and refused to allow the
Seattle & San Francisco to run over Its
tracks. Thus an obstacle was met which
resulted In making practically worthless
the investments in this road. Then It
was that the Northern Pacific took the
matter in the courts in an attempt to
force the Pacific Coast Company to per
mit the traffic arrangement, and the case
is still pending.
"Now It Is said that one of the things
that Mr. Mellen asked before he would
agree to enter Into any agreement with
the Great Northern regarding Seattle ter
minals was that this traffic privilege be
allowed to extend to the Seattle & San
Francisco, and In view of this Mr. Mellen,
It is said, agreed to put Into a terminal
company a small tract of land that Is
owned by the Northern Pacific on the
south side of the City of Seattle, and
which Is In the center of the ground
where Mr. Hill proposes to build his depot
and terminals. It is this small piece of
ground that has to the present time pre
vented the Great Northern from carry
ing out the plans proposed to the City of
Seattle at the time that Mr. Mellen's
proposition was turned down by the City
Council, even had It been done for the ac
commodation of the Great Northern
alone.
"The Pacific Coast Company agreed to
this part of the arrangement, and also
agreed that within a reasonable time It
would remove all of Its buildings and coal
bunkers that now occupy a part of the
ground that Is Intended to be used for
terminals. The time that will be required
for this work will depend to a great ex
tent on the Pacific Coast Company being
able to get other quarters, and In order
to do this It will be necessary. It Is said,
that some concessions will be asked from
the city. ,
"But there Is another thing that will be
necessary before It can be said that the
terminal question In Seattle has been, set
tled. The Seattle and Lake Washington
waterway, or the private canal from
Lake Washington to the Sound, for which'
Ktto state has extended four contracts to
the Seattle & Lake Washington Water
way Company, will have to be done away
with. This Is not the Government canal,
"but the private enterprise In which ex
Governor Semple and others are interest
ed. The reason for the necessity of doing
away with this proposed canal is that
with it constructed it would be necessary
for the Northern Pacific to enter Seattle
over a drawbridge, which Mr. Mellen re
fuses to agree to, and which would be
absolutely Imperative unless the plans for
this work are stopped. That the water
way ha3 long since proved to be unpopu
lar Is a well-known fact, and for this
reason it Is the opinion of those who have
paid any attention to the matter that
such action will not be difficult when
once the work has been undertaken in
earnest.
"These are the main- things that have to
be accomplished beforo there Is any war
rant for saying that tne terminal ques
tion In Seattle has been settled, and. It
Is said, there are many others that "will
have to be readjusted, all of which are
Important In themselves and will have a
bearing on the case. It Is true -that the
two magnates have come closer together
in a business way than they ever have
before, and If it is possible for the Great
Northern to carry out the plans it has
promised, there is a prospect that In time
the matter will be settled and Seattle will
have a union depot on the south side at
the point where Mr. Hill has proposed,
and that the Northern Pacific will for a
time do business there. Yet it is the gen
eral opinion that, Instead of being able
to commence work on the terminals In a
few weeks, as Mr. Hill has Intimated, It
will be many months before all the way
has been cleared and construction of the
Seattle terminals begun."
THAT SPOKANE GATE.
Not Lack of Interest In Portland, Bat
Grentcr Enterprise.
Various representatives of the Union
Pacific system scout the Idea that the
projected opening of the Spokane gate so
as to let the Union Pacific Into Seattle
and Seattle Into Union Pacific territory
is in any -way a reflection on Portland.
They say It Is merely evidence, If It shall
really be agreed upon, of greater enter
prise In business; that instead of being
content to stay out of the Puget Sound
country, the Union Pacific would be en
tering that field for additional business.
No stbek is taken In the Intimation that
its allegiance to Portland would be there
by weakened.
It Is pointed out that the Union Pa
cific (O. R. & N.) is In position to force
Its way to Puget Sound over the Great
Northern, because the Great Northern Is
at the mercy of the O. R. & N. for Its
Portland connection, and the Portland
business Is too valuable to sacrifice. The
only eastbound business that would be
affected is lumber and shingles from
Puget Sound: the westward traffic would
be merchandise.
Seattle Is already chuckling over Its ap
parent success In getting a competitive
lumber carrier to Kansas and Nebraska.
Some time ago application for a reduction
in the rate from 50 to 40 cents was made
to the Northern Pacific, but no satisfac
tion was obtained. Now the prospect of a
joint rate through Spokane to Union Pa
cific territory over a competing line gives
Seattle hope that it will get the low rate
wanted. With the sharp competition It
will stand a better chance for the low rate
than without the competition, as now.
In this connection, Seattle recalls that
the Great Northern first established the
40-cent rate to St. Paul and intermediate
points, which rate is still In effect. The
distance to St. Paul is but one mile less
than that to Omaha. The distance to Spo
kane, which is the part of the haul tho
Great Northern would get, Is much less
than one-fourth of that to St. Paul, but,
as that road originates the business, it
would be required to furnish the cars.
This road would also have to handle, the
freight over the Cascades, though a laige
part of the expense of doing so will be
cut off with the completion of the Cas
cade tunnel.
NEW RAILWAY TO OPEN.
Rnns From Spokane to Lake Koote
nai, With Dally Trains.
SPOKANE, Wash., Nov. 16. Great
Northern officials announce that the new
Kootenai Valley Railway, running from
Bonner's Ferry, Idaho, to Kuskonook,
B. C. will be opened for business Sunday,
November 25. This gives a new direct
route from Spokane to Lake Kootenai,
wjth dally trains each way, connecting
with lake steamers for the Slocan mining
district.
Regular service over the Spokane Falls
& Northern, from this city to Nelson, B.
C, will continue, In spite of contrary re
ports, but the Great Northern is expected
to give the new route preference on Koo
tenai business.
No Low Rate for G. A. R. Meet.
CHICAGO. Nov. 16. Railroads of the
Western Passenger Association today
formally decided not to authorize the
granting of a cent a mile rate for the
proposed encampment of the Grand Army
of the Republic at Denver next August.
Unless the veterans back down from
their stand, Cleveland, In all f robablllty,
will get the encampment.
Lonp-DIntnnce Electric Line.
ST. JOSEPH. Mo., Nov. 16. Eastern
capitalists, headed by J. P. Gibson, of
Philadelphia, are said to have completed
a deal for the construction of an electric
railway between Kansas City and St. Jo
seph, on the east side of the Missouri
River. The trains are to be run every
two hours, hight and day, at half the
present railway charges.
Railroad Notes.
R. C. Stevens, of Seattle, general West
ern passenger agent of the Great North
ern, was In Portland yesterday.
Port Townsend has been thrown Into a
flutter of excitement by a visit of En
gineer Bogue, of the Union Pacific. The
recommencement of operations on the
part of the Port Angeles Eastern, and the
sudden appearance on the scene of ac
tivity of Mr. Bogue, Inspires the hope
that the Union Pacific has arrived at the
conclusion that that side of Puget Sound
furnishes the proper outlet for a trans
continental road.
EGYPTIAN ANTIQUITIES.
New Collection for the Peabody
Mnsenm.
NEW HAVEN, Conn., Nov. 16. The
Peabody Museum has received from Lon
don an Important collection of Egyptian
antiquities presented to Yale by the Con
necticut members of the American Arch
aeological Association. The relics were
found in an excavation made In Abyodon
by the Exploration Fund Association, and
has been on exhibition In London.
In the collection are a number of rare
specimens, among them ornaments of
shell and green glass beads, pendants of
feldspar and pieces of flint which date
back to prehistoric times. There are six
finely preserved scabbards of the seventh
dynasty, and a number of alabaster vases
of the Rameces period in a very good
state ot preservation. There is also an
Inscription taken from a royal tomb be
longing to a King of the first dynasty.
In the tombs that were excavated were
found model tools, axes, hoes, chisels, a
headless statue, several jars, two gola
earrings and some- gold halrrings. A
chair leg fitted with ivory pegs was
also obtained.
These specimens have all been placed
In the Peabody Museum In a room that
will later be used exclusively for Egyp
tian antiquities.
Sued for a Biff Fee.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 16. Felix J. Hughes,
of Keokuk, la., today Instituted pro

ing to $500,000, in connection with the
settlement of the estate of William

The system is weakened by the changes that are taking place, and. it
is of ten at this stage that the deadly consumption fastens upon its victims.
The cause of the majority of weaknesses of -women can b traced to
this critical period of the girl's life.
"About two years ago my daughter, who was than In her sixteenth year,
was In bnd health, She was pale and thin, without strength or vitality,' In
fact her condition wes that which Is generally called all run down. We wars,
of course, worried about her, and employed the best physicians to att&nd hr.
They studied her cose and although they did everything possible, rave her
no relief which was permanent. The late Dr. Ant el had first called my
attention to Dr. Williams' Pink P11U for Pale People, and my wife had heard
they wero a fine tonic, so we decided to try them for my daughter. We did so,
