HARD TRIP ACROSS ATLAKTIC French Liner Hindered tor Rough Weather and Disabled Machinery. NEW YORK, Nov. 25. The new French lino steamship La Lorraine, which ar rived today, experienced a hard trip across the Atlantic In addition to the weather, which was very rough, several accidents occurred to the machinery, which caused the vessel to slow down while repairs were being made. Her brldgerall was smashed, and there was a dent In the smoking-room roof, caused by the giant waveswhich broke over her forward. Two seamen are In the ship's hospital. One man was struck on the head by the nozzle of a hose. The other was swept across the deck by a wave and landed against the rail, with his knee badly hurt. There arrived on the La Lorraine "Cash" Sloan and J. N. Freeman, Ameri can jockeys, who had been riding in France. Sloan was under contract to the Duke do Oramont, Baron Leonlno having second call on his services. He said that he had ridden in about 144 races, winning one out of four, which gave him the high est per cent of any Jockey in France. He came In second In 20 races, and in many of the others' secured third. Freeman, who rode for Gasten Dreyfus, and Maurice de Gheost, second call, rode In 130 races, win ning 17. Both jockeys will go from here to Louisville for a visit. British Steamer Stranded. LEWES, DeL, Nov. 25. The British steamer Margaret Jones, Captain Thom as, In ballast from Malta for Delaware Breakwater for orders, stranded at 3 o'clock this morning directly opposite the Isle of Wight life-saving station, near Ocean City. She was Immediately dis covered by the Hfesavers, who manned their surfboat and went to her assistance. The steamer Is well up the beach, about CO yards from low-water mark. She is lying easy in a moderate sea and perfect ly t'ght. The captain and crew refused to leave the steamer, so the life-savers returned to shore with dispatches from the captain. It will be necessary to lay heavy anchors and run large hawsers to the steamer and heave her off Inch by Inch Into deeper water before the tugs can move her entirely clear of the shore. A wrecking barge left the breakwater this evening with the necessary anchors and hawsers. It will, no doubt, take sev eral tides to float her. The Margaret Jones is owned by the Margaret Jones Steamship Company, of Cardiff. She is consigned to Peter Wright & Sons, Phil adelphia. The vessel Is 305 feet long and of -41S2 net tons burden. Steamer Captain Victim of Fever. NEW YORK, Nov. 25. The British fruit steamer Adler arrived today from Port Llmon, and reported that Captain W. Reld, of that steamer, had died of yellow fever November L The authorities at Port Llmon would not allow the burial of the body ashore, and the ship was obliged to steam outside the harbor and bury the remains at sea. Captain Reld was 30 years of age, and a native of Aberdeen, Scot land. The chief officer, Mr. Waltc, brought the steamer to this port. The Adier is held at Quarantine for disinfec tion. No Trace of Shlptrrecked Folic. QUEBEC, Nov. 25. The searching par ty which left Seven Islands on Saturday afternoon to rescue any of the passen gers or crew of the wrecked steamer Sto laff, who might have reached land, re turned this evening.

RESUMED PESSIMISTIC TONE Berlin Bourse Uninfluenced by the New York Markets. BERLIN, Nov. 25. Uninfluenced by the New York markets, the Berlin Bourse last week resumed its pessimistic tone. All Mnes of securities were weak, coal and iron shares being particularly so, and all scored marked gains. This reaction Is variously explained. In addition to the re newal of unsatisfactory reports from the iron Industry, the Agrarian proposal in the Reichstag contemplating a tariff war with the United States, and the motion emanating from the same quarter to in tensify the evils of the Bourse law, there were depressing factors In general. Anx iety regarding the Czar, and In the pub lication of the estimates of bank divi dends showing lower returns than those of 1SP9. combined to Intensify reaction. Domestic government funds remained weak, although the decline was but slight. Swiss railway securities were heavily traded in. The quotations for Americans caused Germans to realize largely on their holdings. The heavy American securities recently sold in London, and especially in New York, changed the bank balances which. In the view of the Frankfurter Zeltung, relieves the market here of all fear of goM exports. Indeed, this journal con siders it probable that gold will come from New York to pay lor securities. Small sums of forelga gold have been received at tho Relchsbank, and the money market at the beginning of the monthly settlement shows great ease. The Cologne Gazette claims to have au thentic Information that many of the ro cent American offers of Iron In Germany were merely speculative. Intended to de press the share market. The shipments of the coke syndicate for October reached 700,000 tons, four per cent above the shipments for October, 1S99. For October, the Income of the Prussian railways was 136,000,000 marks, or an Increase of several million marks upon the Income for October of last year. According to the Frankfurter Zeltung, the syndicate of Franco-American bank ers who were negotiating with Switzer land regarding the loan for railway nationalization, broke off the negotiations because the Swiss Government wishes to issue the loan in Swiss money; and the bankers want a foreign loan Amounting to something between 150.000,000 and 30V 000,000 francs. The Vossische Zeitung approves Secre tary Gage's order suspending the conver sion of United States bonds on the ground that expansion of national bank notes, through the conversion of bonds to lower interest, was producing an un healthy plethora of money and threaten ing excessive speculation.

Democratic party has enough electoral votes from the solid South, and the popu lar vote la large enough In the other states, with a good platform, the proper candidate and a business campaign, to elect every President In this country. True Democratic principles are always right, and certainly should succeed. JEFFERSON MYERS. STILL FEARS "IMPERIALISM. Unimportant That Democratic Party "Win. bnt That It Be Right. MARSHFIELD, Nov. 20. (To the Ed itor.) In reply to the first question pro pounded, I will say that in my opinion the Democratic party Is not In need of reorganization. I think the principles enunciated In the platform of 1896 and 1S00 are In. accord with Jeffersonlan De mocracy, the fundamental principles of which are, "Equal rights to all, special privileges to none." I think the prin ciples enunciated In the Republican plat form of said years, and the policies advo cated by tho leaders of that party are more nearly In accord with the principles expressed by Hamilton; yet. In some re spects, I think the Republicans have gone beyond the principles advocated by him. I have never seen anything in the writ ings of Hamilton that would Indicate that he thought it consonant with our prin ciples of government that the United States could acquire territory, densely populated, and then govern the same as colonies in substantially the same man ner that England controlled and gov erned the colonies which afterwards be came the United States of America, be fore they obtained their independence. We think the subsequent writings of the men who subscribed their names to the Declaration of Independence conclu sively show that they thoroughly believed in the principles of government enun ciated therein, and believed that the only safe course for the United States to pursue was to adhere to those principles. We think the leaders of the Republican party today are advocating principles of government contrary to the teachings of the leaders of the party be fore the treaty with Spain, as will clearly appear by reading the debates in Con gress, when the question of acquiring ter ritory was being considered. The speeches made by the leaders of the Republican party In the Senate, when considering the two messages of President Grant, recommending the acquisition of San Do mingo, show clearly that even those who favored the acquisition recognized that, if we acquired the island. It must be governed in the same manner the Unltecl States had alv ays governed the people of newly-acqu?red territory. There was no claim madf In the debate In the Sen ate by those who favored the acquisi tion of the island, that Congress had power to govern the people in such man ner as It determined best, without being in any way restrained by the provisions of the Constitution prohibiting Congress from doing certain things therein desig nated. We think the question as to whether our Government shall remain such a Gov ernment as Its framers Intended it should be, or whether It is to. be changed so as to become what England's government was at the time they rebelled against It, should be, and will be, the paramount Issue until the same Is settled by the American people. In regard to your question as to what measures I think should be taken to bring about success in 1904, and in the State and. Congressional election of 1902, I will say 'that I am not so much troubled as to the success In either of said years, as I am desirous of being right upon questions that will come before the peo ple for settlement at th'e dates mentioned. While I do not believe In abandoning principles from motives of policy simply to obtain success, yet I believe it is just ifiable in framing a party platform to do as the Republicans did in the platform of 1S56 and 1860, declare what the framers be lieved to be the important issues to be determined, and then "Invite the co operation of all citizens, however differ ing on other questions, who substantially agree with us In our affirmance and sup port' We thlnkthe financial question and other questions of domestic policy should be subordinate to the question as to whether our Government Is to remain a republic or to be gradually transformed Into an empire, with principles of gov ernment patterned after the Government 'of Great Britain, holding colonies and governing them in total disregard of tho principles upon which our Government was founded. The founders of the Republican party taught that our Government was based upon the principles enunciated In the Declaration of Independence, and that African slavery was so antagonistic to those principles that this Government could not stand half slave and half free; that It must either become all slave or all free, and declared their intention to make it free. It seems clear to us that this Government can not long stand as a republic In the States, and a limited monarchy as to our .newly-acquired ter ritories, which is to be governed by the President, by such tribunals and subor dinates as he sees proper to create, until such time as Congress shall act, and that when Congress does act, It has power to create such a government as they see proper, without being in any wise restrained by inhibitions contained in the Constitution. This is a new dlctrine, never to our knowledge advocated In Congress or by the leaders of any party, until the late war with Spain, and we do not believe the people will Indorse it at the ballot box when made to understand It. It would extend this letter to too great a length o attempt to give any clear ex-J pieasiuu ui uiy views iua iu me lust ques tion asked In your letter, yet will say that I think one of the main causes of the Democratic defeat was the failure of a large mass of the voters to compre hend thoroughly and understand the Im portance of the Issues Involved in the last political campaign. The Issue of "Imper ialism" was a new question, the Import of which was not, we think, understood by most voters, who were misled by the claim of Republican speakers and news papers, that the issue was a false one created by the Democrats for partisan purposes, and that the President and Congress were governing th'e people in the territory acquired from Spain in the same manner the President and Congress had always governed newly-acquired ter ritory, excepting only as the revolt by a part of the inhabitants of the Phil ippines made war measures necessary. The trusts, the causes which produced them, the evils resulting from them, and as to how far they could be restrained and controlled by legislation, were com paratively new questions, which we think people generally did not understand, and the comparatively few who did have some knowledge upon the questions did .not agree as to the measures to be taken to suppress them. We believe the persons charged with the management of the Democratic cam paign did the best they could with the means at their disposal, and whether or not any other men in the party could have done better we have not sufficient knowledge to express an opinion. S. H. HAZARD. IT DEPENDS ON THE FUTURE. The Mission of the Democracy Is to Oppose the Republican Party. THE DALLES, Or., Nov. 19. (To the Editor.) It does riot seem to me that any reorganization of the Democratic party is necessary or could possibly be broifght about. It seems to me that a party which can poll within a few hundred thousand of half the enormous vote n this Presidential election is far from being effete and disorganized. In this, matter, of course, I can only speak lor myself, but it seems to me that the party now represents the truest princi ples of Democracy, and any reorganlza-J tlon would be necessarily along the line of departure from theserprinciples. The Democratic party is, essentially a poor man's party. We never nope nor expect to control the influence of large aggregations of, capital, "or bt any great number of wealthy individuals. Such persons and Institution! naturally de sire a government fronvwhich they can obtain in he greatest -degree special privileges and advantages, and under which they can exercise rfeely the unre strained power of their great wealth. Such advantages and, privileges the Dem- ocratlc' party can never offer them, for It Is inherently the party of equal rights to all, and special privileges to none. To my mind, the highest patriotism of the country is now embodied In the Dem ocratic party that patriotism which looks to the good of the' country rather than to the spoils of victory, -aiid which makes it possible for a party 'to exist and to do brave and courageoua battle even In a minority. . ' Even If the Democratic -party should not win in the next -campaign, or in the next, or", Indeed, if It should lose for an Indefinite number of campaigns, still It is a great force for goo"d; and Its protest against the constantly Increasing Influence of wealth In the Government, and against any departure from the sacred principles of political liberty and self-government handed down by the -fathers, Is the voio lng of the truest principles of humanity, as well as of the highest patriotism. If there should be any successful at tempt to reorganize the Democratic party, as Is sometimes suggested, along such lines as would make it acceptable to the millionaires and wealthy corporations of the country, and, in fact, paralleling Its policy closely to that o'f the Republican party, the effect would be to drive a great proportion of its voters Into some new party, and to entirely destroy the great and powerful Influence which it now has. , As to the reason of the defeat In 1900, I think that was brought about by the Bhadow of the unhappy linanciai crasn In the last Cleveland Administration and the general belief based perhaps to some extent upon facts that the general finan cial conditions are b'eter now under tho McKlnley Administration thaiuthey were under the preceding Democratic Admin istration. As to the means to be taken to bring vabout success in 1904, and'' in the Con gressional elections two years hence. It seems to me that the only Hope of bring ing about such success lies in the per slstent advocacy by the Democratic party of a return in governmental affairs to the principles of our fathers, and an ur gent protest against the constant en croachment of wealth upon the Influence, rights and privileges oE the middle and tho poorer classes. ,' ' The accident of better times will not always be present to assist the Republi can party and paralyze the Wisdom of the people, and, whether tjmes continue to be better or not, tie people will present ly begin to think of broader questions than the mere proposition of having enough to eat and the satisfaction of their present temporal wants. The constantly increasing difficulties surrounding tho colonfai question, and tho race questions and economical troubles, which are bound to be precipi tated upon us by this new "departure, to gether with the increaslijg burden of expense wnich colohlal .'governments are bound to bring upon us, will all tend to weaken tho Republican party and to strengthen its adversary. Whether or not It will be sufficient to -give a Demo cratic victory, in 1902 or 1904 Is a ques tion which must depend, largely upon the developments of the future. A. 'S. BENNETT. LET BRYAN STAY OUT OF IT. Sonnd Platform and Good Ticket "Will Bring: Sncceaa. EUGENE, Or., Nov. 22. (To the Ed itorsReplying to your communication of a recent date, requesting an expression of my views with reference to reorganiza tion of the Democratic party, etc., I will say: First, the Democratic party is not in need of reorganization. It is already well organized,, and all it baa tQ. do is to hold fast to the fundamental principles of our republican government, as exemplified by Jefferson, Jackson, Polk, Lincoln, Tilden and Cleveland, In all- three of the latter's campaigns, and as put Into practice by his first administration; and also as embodied in the leading Issues of the 1900 Presi dential campaign as expounded by Mr. Bryan. I think the country will not hereafter hear much about the Chicago platform. There were sound, conservative utter ances both in the Chicago and Kansas City platforms, the spirit, at least, of which may be incorporated in the plat form of 1904. But I am of opinion that the Democratic party In iS0 will adopt an up-to-date, conservative platform, and nominate a conservative and able ticket. I think the way to succeed in the state and congressional elections In 1902 and . the Presidential election In 1904 Is to pur sue a conservative. Judicious policy, such as I have indicated, ana as a further and sure way to success, let every' man who Is not a Republican vote the Democratic ticket. While the Democratic party stands for the masses of the people and the In tegrity of our governmental fabric, there Is no reason why It should not be trusted. There Is no reason why it should not be Invincible. I do not think the defeat of 19C0 could have been avoided. In my Judgment, Mr. Bryan's acceptance speech was pne of the ablest utterances ever made by any candidate, and was wholly defensible. I think the present state of Democracy was unavoidable. However, I do not at this time think Mr. Bryan ought even to be considered a Presidential possibility. E. R. SKIPWORTH. THANKSGIVING.- Servlces by the Universal Brother hood Organisation. A lecture was delivered In United Brotherhood Hall. 444-Washlngton street, last night, treating the subject as to what constitutes the' true meaning of thanksgiving. From the standpoint of the lecturer, the observance of Thanksgiving has lost its original significance, as its commemora tions have drifted down the stream of time along the shifting vicissitudes of the commonwealths of this great Republic. "From being an expression gratitude for the merclea and graced bestowed by an all-good Providence upon the Uvea and labors of the first colonial settlers, for whom the feasting was the mere accidental the outer aspect and the de votion and gratitude the real, essential object," said he, "the newer generations have reversed the Import and made the feasting an essential, while In most cases the devotional part has been entirely ig nored. A Thanksgiving to be in keeping with Its Initial snirit and purpose, should pe more a functon of the , soul than of the body; more an expression oi vue inner, the devotional and aspirations! faculty of human nature, than its purely material and carnal." Appeal to Suppress Vice in Chicago. CHICAGO, Nov. 25. An appeal to the church to take up the work of the sup pression of vice and-further the dissemi nation of municipal charity was voiced today by Right Rev. Dr. Philip du Mou lin, bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Niagara, in a sermon at St Peter's Church. The tone of the declaration, while couched in general terms, carried In all respects a motive similar to the object of Bishop Potter's crusade against criminal conditions in -New York. Bishop du Moulin urged his hearers to organize and take a personal hand In the allevla tion'Of the deplorable conditions of so ciety to be found in every section' of the city. - . . t W. P.

Oreson, Waahlnston, Idaho ana Alaalca as Compiled by -the Commissioner. WASHINGTON, Nov. 2L One of the most complicated and yet most interest ing of the Government reports Issued this year, is that of Hon. G. W. Wilson, Commissioner of Internal Revenue. A summary of this report has already been published. The following extracts that are purely local to the Pacific Coast are made: Tho collection district of Oregon as Is well understood, embraces Washington and Alaska, but in sdme instances re turns for the different states are given separately. For Instance, the total amount of internal reveune collected In Oregon for the past year was $443,391; in Washington, $791,750; Idaho, $43,764, and Alaska, $13,6(0. Tobacco Is one of the great Bources of revenue, and it may not be known that the District of Oregon during the cal endar year 1899 supported 170 cigar fac tories, manufacturing 9.2S3.B63 cigars In the year, using for that purpose 184,416 pounds of tobacco. No manufacture of cigarettes In that district Is reported. For the same period, 7604 pounds of smoking tobacco was produced In this district, all of which was sold, paying in stamp taxes the sum of $925. Another great source of Tevenue is the special taxpayers who operate billiard tables, bowling alleys, etc There are 2493 such taxpayers in Oregon. 3319 In Washington, 1155 in Idaho and 200 in Alaska. Included In tills number were 1435 retail liquor dealers in Oregon, 1584 in Washington, 794 In Idaho and 178 in Alaska, while the wholesale liquor deal ers were In vastly smaller numbers. In bowling alleys and billiard tables, Oregon reported 475, Washington 865, Idaho 169 and Alaska 22. Bankers, stock and commercial brokers, pawnbroker and proprietors of exhibi tions not otherwise specified also paid heavy taxes. In Oregon there were 92 bankers, 56 stockbrokers, 41 commercial brokers, 10 custom-houso brokers, 19 pawnbrokers and 98 proprietors of ex hibitions. In Washintgon the bankers numbered 113, stockbrokers 164, commer cial brokers 32, custom-house brokers 81 and pawnbrokers 38, together with 167 proprietors of exhibitions. In Idaho and Alaska these figures were greatly de creased. Distilleries are at once fruitful sources of revenue and of annoyance to the cus toms officials, more particularly in the South. In this line of taxpayers, Oregon has 11 licensed distilleries, Washington 4, Idaho 1 and Alaska none. In Oregon and Washington combined there were last year rectified a total of 218,426 gallons of spirits. It is unable to get an idea of Idaho's output, as that state In classed with Montana and Utah, which unitedly produced 67,836 gallons.

BANKRUPTCY LAW. All Classes Are Taking; Advantage of It Annual Report. WASHINGTON, Nov. 25. B. C. Bran denburg, In charge of bankruptcy mat ters, has made a report to the Attorney- General on the operation or the Danic-' ruptcy act of July L 1898. The report says, with reference to voluntary cases, that advantage is being taken-of the law by men of all classes and in all walks of life and in every section of the country. The states showing tho greatest number of petitions filed during the year are: Illinois, with 8008; New York, 8007; Iowa, 992; Ohio, 857; Minnesota, 845; Pennsyl vania, 809. The smallest number of volun tary petitions were filed vi the following states: Nevada, 6; Delaware and Wy oming. 12 each; Idaho, 30; South Carolina, 37; Oklahoma, 39; Florida, 67; Rhode Isl and, 69. Tho grand total of petitions filed In the United States for the period ending Sep tember 30. 1900. is 20.128. exclusive of those for tho western district of Louisiana, the district of Alaska, for half of the year for the southern district of Georgia, New Jer sey, the eastern district of North Caro lina, the western dlstrct of Tennessee, and the 'eastern district of Virginia, from which semiannual reports were not re ceived. From the clerk's reports it ap pears that the voluntary petitions all were adjudicated bankrupts except 237, In whose cases the petitions were dismissed, and that discharges were refused in 71 cases. Compositions were confirmed In 203 cases. The liabilities m 19,540 volun tary cases reported by the referees amounted to $264,974,142, while the total amount of assets scheduled in these cases was $33,093,77L The summary also discloses the fact that of the petitions filed In 86 cases, the lia bilities were less than $100, In 1879 cases be tween $100 and $500; in 2256 cases between $500 and $1000; in 7861 cases between $1000 and $5000; in 2941 cases between $5000 and $10,000; in 1872 cases between $10,000 and $20,000, and in 2191 cases more than $20,000.

The nature of the business In which the petitioning bankrupts were engaged disclosed by the summary of the refereea' reports is proportioned as follows: Two thousand and fifty-seven were farm ers, 7516 wage-earners, 4592 merchants, 361 manufacturers, EOS professional men and 4435 contractors, hotel-keepers and others of a miscellaneous character. In Involuntary cases 1810 petitions were filed, of which adjudications were made in all except 625 cases. Of the Involuntary cases fifty compositions were entered Into by the bankrupts and the creditors, which were confirmed. The liabilities Involved 1242 cases, upon which reports wera made were $27,179,001. while the assets were scheduled at $13,433,209. In 200 cases no assets were scheduled, and In a number they were classed as unknown or nominal. The petitions show that of those adjudi cated In Involuntary bankruptcy, 64 were wage-earners, 694 merchants, 103 manufac turers, 90 professional men, 363 miscel laneous and seven farmers. While under the law a farmer or wage earner cannot be adjudicated an involun tary bankrupt. It is quite probable that they were engaged in other callings at tho time of the adjudication, and that tho debts were incurred while employed in one of the excepted pursuits or otherwise. During the past year there has been no material change In the business transac tions. The magnitude of business under the voluntary feature of the law. the re port says, seems large, yet Mr. Brando- burg Is constrained to believe that a good per cent Is made up of old Insolvents and unless business conditions materially change, a considerable decrease of pe titions of this character would follow shortly. There has been an increase of a little more than 300 petitioners under the involuntary feature of tho law, which, the report says, Is quixo significant. In connection with the Impression heretofore current that the law has favored the debtor rather than the creditor. The necessity of perfection of the law by man datory legislation Is declared to be a mat ter of common knowledge. The report says that while It doubtless would not be well to urgo any sweeping amondment. Congress should give its attention to the provision covered by the section "57 G." of the law, which has been variously in terpreted by the courts, the weight of the authority Included, with which are two Circuit Courts of Appeals, sustaining the position that payment on account made within four months must be first surren dered before the balance of the claim of the creditor to whom such payment has been made can be proved and allowed, which Interpretation, the report declares, will meet universal disapproval on the part of the commercial community.
