10 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY NOVEMBER 22, 1900. FOUR URGENT BILLS Senator Simon's Ideas for the Coming Session. MINOR MATTERS MUST WAIT Xicarasma Canal, River and Harbor Appropriations, Oar Jfeir Posses sion and Bisrser Army. Senator Simon had Intended to leave next Sunday for Washington to prepare for the "work of the coming session of Congress, but the illness' of his brother is likely to interfere -with that plan, and the Senator does not now know when be will leave Portland. .He Is ready to so and take up his work in Washington -without any waste of time, however. "The coming session will be a short one," said he, yesterday, "and a good deal of legislation that would be deslra hie will fall for lack of time. Among the measures that will be urged but which, In my opinion, there will not be time to consider, is a new interstate commerce hill or material amendments to the pres ent law. The Grout pure-food bill Is an other measure of general Interest that is likely to suffer in the short session. I don't think there will be any attempt to pass a- reapportionment bill. But all the failures will surely be too numerous to mention. "Four subjects of great Importance I hope to see adequately provided for at the coming session. These are the Nic aragua Canal, the river and harbor Im provements, the new possessions and the new Army. I hope there will be nothing 4o prevent giving these measures the at tention they merit. "The canal is no new project. A bill to authorize Its construction by the United States Government has already Jbeen passed by the House of Representa tives, and it is already on the Senate .calendar for the second week of the ses sion. We of the Pacific Coast have a epecial Interest in getting that measure through the Senate and signed by the President. "Portland's Interest in the river and iharbor appropriations is to have Congress adopt the plan recommended by the En gineers for improvement that snail give 40 feet of water on the bar and 25 feet clear all the way to Portland. I think this will be doive. There Is no disposition to neglect the other rivers and harbors of the state, and I think Oregon will be well taken care of in the new appropria-. tion hill. As there was no general appro priation bill passed at the last session the new bill will foot up a large amount. A drydook for the Columbia River, the preliminary steps for which have already besn taken, will also probably be pro vided for this Winter. "Our new possessions will demand a good deal of attention, and they must have it I have no particular plan formu lated, but I have given considerable at tention to the subject, and I shall be ready to compare views and adopt what ever seems to be best. This opens a large question, and should be well con sidered I presume we will be able to enact some definite legislation for the Philippines before the end of the session, and In all matters affecting their trade Oregon Is certainly entitled to con sideration, and will doubtless get It. "I believe our Army should be enlarged to 100.000 men, and I expect to see a bill authorizing such Increase put through Congress at the coming session. The size of the country and Its growing responsi bilities and duties In the family of na tions argue for such an army. We are exposed ta danger from having too small an army We have work for 100 000 men; at least may have work for them any day, and such a force for such a Government I believe to be highly desirable." NORTHERN PACIFIC LOSS. aiellcn's Statement Concerning: Re form of Hill's Control. ST PAUL., Minn., Nov. 21. President C. B. Mellen, of the Northern Pacific, today gave his explanation of the rise In North ern Pacific securities, and Incidentally again denied the rumor that Mr. Hill has secured control of the property. He said: "The report sent out from New Tork has caused a loss to the Northern Pacific of $500000. This is not the only way In which the company has suffered from the canards Many of our best men have be come frightened by the persistent report that President Hill, of the Great North ern, h"s secured control of the stock of the Northern Pacific, and threaten to stampede. I thorougmj- believe that, should these men. most of whom have been with us for yoars, receive good offer rom other companies today, they would at once leave the Northern Pacific" When questioned as to how the loss to the company had been incurred, Mr. Mel len said thu the largest customers of the Northern Pacific were holding back business, and had done so for some time, as they wished to get more definite infor mation in regard to the reported consoli dation. "It was an asinine yarn." said Mr. Mel len. ''and It will take 88 days of constant denials en the part of the company to make the general public believe that there is absolutely nothing in it. "Our stock is not selling a shade higher than It Is worth. The oauses are legltU mate. We have declared one extra divi dend, abolished the voting trust, increased our business, and the Presidential election went in a way that would naturally stim ulate stocks." will close: the gap. Southern Pacific Will Save 00 Miles on Mohnvrlc Lumber. The two miles of new road which the Southern Pacific Is preparing to build to connect the Woodburn-Natron brancit -with the main line at Henderson Station, a short distance south of Eugene, -wIU really be a part of the Mohawk branch, which new leaves the Woodburn Natron read at a point about half wa between Springfield and Natron. The new Mohawk branch was built chiefly to ear ly lumber out, that being a heavily tim bered country. The maiket for the lum ber is In California. As it now stands, t e lumber Is brought down the Mohawk from Wendllng and then, Instead of go ing direct to the main-line track for Cal ifornia, it must be dragged 40 miles down the Willamette Valley to Tallman Junc tion, thence eight, miles across to Al bany, thence 46 miles back up the Valley to Henderson. Thus must 94 miles be traversed to get to a point but two miles distant from the junction of the Mohawk branch. A quite expensive bridge must be built, however, to span the main channel of the Willamette and close the gap between the Mohawk branch and the main line. This is likely to throw the completion of the road over till next Spring. Rates to Eptvorth Lengroe Meeting. ST. LOUIS. Nov. 2L At today's session of the Transcontinental Association, a committee of the Bpworth League made formal application for reduced rates for the next annual meeting of the organiza tion to be held in San Francisco. Chair man Chariton appointed a committee to report tomorrow on rates for the meeting and the conditions upon which tickets will be sold. As the committees appointed yesterday were not ready to report, an adjournment was taken until tomorrow aerates. An Illegal Transportation Board. LINCOLN, Neb., "Nov. a. The Supreme Court of Nebraska, ln-an opinion -rendered today, declared the act establishing the State Board of Transportation unconsti tutional, and the board inoperative. The case In point was that wherein Attorney General Smith, on behalf of the State Board of Transportation, brought suit I against the Burlington and the North western Railroad Company to enforce a reduction in livestock rates. The defend ant roads, for the firs time In the 13 years existence of the board, questioned Itk authority on the ground that it was Illegally created, and the court sustained the demurrer and dismissed the case. Railroad Notes. President Paul F. Mohr, of the Central Construction & Navigation Company, has moved his headquarters from The Dalles to Portland, and he now occupies an of fice in the Chamber of Commerce build ing He says he will soon have money and will go ahead with his transporta tion enterprise in a few weeks. Four freight cars laden with merchan dise were derailed on a bridge between Bonneville and Cascade Locks Tuesday evening, and the accident blocked the track for about 12 hours. The damage was small, however. The Southern Pacific reports IS Inches of snow In the Slsklyous, but It causes no trouble In handling trains there. On the McCloud River branch. In California, snow Is two feet deep. There Is yet no trouble for trains north of Dunsmuir, but snow plows, push and rotary, are In readiness for work any hour. PRIESTHOOD REACHES PORT. Disabled Red Star Liner Toircd in by S6athnmpton Tags. SOUTHAMPTON, Nov. 2L The Red Star steamer Friesland, Captain Nickels, which sailed from New York, November 7, for this port and Antwerp, passed Hurst Castle at 9:35 this morning In tow of two tugs. The Frlesland's rudder was disabled, and she was taken In tow by the tugs In the vicinity of the Scllly Isl ands on Monday last. Te Frfesland's rudder stock broke the afternoon of November 15. The weather was stormy, and she lay In the trough of the sea helpless for nearly 24 hours until the steamer Cluden took her In tow and brought her to within a few miles of the Needles, where she was taken In hand by two Southampton tugs. As the Cluden steamed off, her great services were recognized by loud cheers from the passengers. The continuous storms in the Channel considerably en dangered the Friesland. Representative Irving P. Warfger, of Norristown, Pa.; ex-Speaker Thomas B. Reed, of New York, and other passengers on the Friesland, who were Interviewed, highly praise the conduct of the ship, and say the only thing that troubled them was In regard to tne anxiety their friends would feel as to the safety of the steamer. The Friesland passengers will be for warded to Antwerp by a steamer of the Great Eastern Company, from Harwich. Vancouver Well Suited. VANCOUVER, Wash., Nov. 2L Tho nonpartisan city ticket nominated at last night's mass convention Is quite satisfac tory to the citizens generally, and It Is not likely that an opposition ticket will be put In the field.

Craw for, for Councilman for North Vancou ver, to succeed M. R. Sparks, and S. F. Bodyfelt for Councilman-at-Large, to suc ceed Councilman Frank Morris.

Revenue Cutter Bear From Nome. .SEATTLE, Nov. 2L The revenue cut ter Bear, Captain Tuttle, arrived In this port today from Nome, having left there November 8. She was compelled to heave to for three days 300 miles from Cape Flattery because of the recent storm. Colonel Wright, head of the revenue serv ice at Nome, came down on the cutter. Deputy Marshal Becker brought down six convicts on the Bear, as follows: Bruce Kenwrlght, manslaughter; Jo seph Young, grand larceny: W.

Twenty carloads of apples have been shipped from Garfield. Some of the ap ples are marketed as far East as Kan sas, with the bulk going to Montana points. A good portion of the crop will be held for a later market, with a view of getting a better price. A counterfeiters den was discovered by Detectives McDonald and Caffrey Mon day night at Spokane. Part of the outfit was captured M. J. Williams and Joe Harrison have been arrested, charged with passing counterfeit silver dollars. It Is believed the leader of the gang has escaped. The last of about 30 carloads of sugar beets are being loaded at Garfield for the beet-sugar factory at Waverly.The crop this year has averaged as high as 20 per cent in sugar, and yielded between four and five tons to the acre. Had rain fallen In June, the crop, It Is thought, would have been much larger The beets are from the Burrell ranch, which is managed by C. H. Lacey, of Colfax, and includes 160 acres. This Is the second year that beets have been raised, and while this season's crop has not come up to expecta tions, the third crop will be tried. Leases were filed for record at Colfax Monday to O B.

COMES WITH COMOX COAL NORWEGIAN-STEAMSHIP KVARVEN DUE AT PORTLAND MONDAY. Will Load a Pull Outward Cargo of Flour Leicester Castle Sails Many Marine Disaster. Ths Norwegian steamship Kvarven sailed from Seattle for Comox yesterday morning to load a cargo of coal for this port. Loading facilities are very good at Comox, and It is expected that the steam er will secure her cargo and get away from the Canadian port some time today, and, with favorable weather down the coast, she should reach Portland Sunday or Monday As It will take two or three days to discharge her coal and get her ready for her outward cargo of flour, she will hardly finish In time to clear this month. Her delay In reaching the Sound from Alaska, and the fact that some re pairs had to be made on the vessel, have resulted in throwing the steamer nearly a month behind, as she was scheduled to arrive at Portland, October 28, and should have sailed again early In the present month. The coal cargo of the Kvarven will be the second to arrive here this month, the Norman Isles now in port bringing about 2000 tons from the same port at which the Kvarven is now loading. The Uni verse arrived up yesterday morning, and will commence taking cargo today. She was pretty veil filled with miscellaneous freight before reaching Portland, and her flour shipment will not exceed 20,000 bar rels. The Carmarthenshire, previously reported as coming to Portland, will go to Tacoma to load lumber. The Adato and the Monmouthshire will be the next steamers to arrive after the Kvarven. HAD QUICK DISPATCH. Leicester Castle Sails After 17 Days in the River Gertrud Clenred. The British ship Leicester Castle sajlea from Astoria yesterday morning, after being in the river but 17 days. San Fran cisco papers complain at the slow dis patch that vessels are having In the Bay City, but In comparing the situation with that which prevails In the North, state that the reason for vessels doing so much better up here, is on account of their coming here In ballast, while most of the ships at San Francisco bring Inward car go, which must be discharged before the vessel can be loaded outward. At the same time, none of the ballast ships which have reached San Francisco this year have made so good a record as the Leicester Castle. The Portland Grain Company, which cleared the Leicester Castle, yesterday cleared the German bark Gertrud for Queenstown or Fal mouth for orders, with 89,384 bushels of wheat, valued at $52,800. PACIFIC MAIL PRESIDENT. Charles H. Tweed Nott at the Head of the Company. NEW YORK, Nov. 2L The board of di rectors of the Pacific Mall Steamship Company held a meeting today, at whicn Charles H. Tweed, James Speyer and Ogden Mills were elected directors in place of George J. Gould, Samuel Thom as and Henry Hart, resigned. Mr. Tweed was elected president of the company on motion of Mr. Harris. The Southern Pa cific Interest considered the name of Mr. Schwerln, vice-president and general manager of the company, in connection with the president, but it was deemed preferable toall concerned, Including Mr. Schwerin, tfiat the president should re-' side In New York, where the" board of directors Is located. Mr. Schwerln remains, vice-president and general manager of the company, with headquarters in San Francisco. DAISY HOWE WRECKED. Coos Bay Lumber Schooner on the Rocks Near point Bonita. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 21.-Along the water front, the storm caused considera ble damage to the shipping in the harbor, but not of any serious consequence. The schooner Daisy Rowe, which sailed for Coos Bay yesterday, -was driven on the rocks near Point Bonita and wrecked. The steamer San Juan, from Panama, which came into port at noon today, re ports that she was obliged to lay to out side off Pigeon Point for four hours owing to heavy weather. A strong northwest erly gale was encountered, and before the San Juan emerged from the storm several of her doors and windows had been broken In by the heavy seas that broke over the steamer. The steamer Doric, from the Orient, also encountered the gale. TWO NEW STEAMERS. Pacific Coast Company Will Increase Its Fleet. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 2L The Paciflc Steamship Company has shown Its belief In the future of Alaska trade by order ing two new fast passenger steamers for this serv'ce. There are now seven differ ent lines of boats running to Alaska ports, and it is getting to be a question of Importance to the Paciflc Coast Com pany that it shall lead in doing the bulk of this business. A special rival Is the Canadian Navigation Company, under the protection of the Canadian Pacific Com pany. The new fast passenger service proposed by ,the Paciflc Coast Company is admitted to be greatly needed, and marks the beginning of immense strides In development of commerce with Alaska. Tonnage Bonus Wanted. VANCOUVER. B. C, Nov. 2L The lum bermen and mill owners of British Colum bia will probably petition both the Fed eral and Provincial Governments for a sh'.p tonnage bonus for Canadian 'vessels. They allege that shipping firms in San Francisco have accomplished a competi tive movement In connection with recent ship charters "which has had the effect of making It impossible for British Colum bia shippers to obtain freight Bhlps except at such advance rates as to absorb the mill men's profit. Lumber shipments are now costing 60 cents per thousand more than was formerly paid for British bot toms, and those Interested In the lumber trade asseTt that It Is only by securing lower ocean freight rates that the Indus try can be profitably carried on. Atlantic Liners Delayed. NEW YORK. Nov. 21. The White Star liner Oceanic, which arrived this after noon from Liverpool and Queenstown, was somewhat delayed by adverse wind and rough seas. Nearly all the passage north west gales, rough and squally weather, with very high seas, were" encountered. Nothing was seen of the delayed steamer Kaiser Wllhelm der Grosse. The Holland-American steamer Amster dam, from Rotterdam, and Boulogne, which was due to arrive in this port last Sunday, was sighted off the Sandy Hook lightship at 6.50 o'clock today. Dollnr WIU Sail in a Few Days. ASTORIA, Nov, 21. The steam schooner Robert Dollar, which has been discharg ing coal at the Cannery Company's wharf, carried away her hawsers during the ebb tide last evening and floated down stream quite a distance before her anchors would hold. No damage was done the vessel. She had no steam up at the time, as her main steam pipe was in Portland being repaired, but It arrived down this morning and will be placed in position within a day or two, when the vessel will be ready to proceed to San Francisco.
