Tho suspension, Saturday, of a number of broker Arms In London Is not looked upon as serious In Portland business cir cles, and very little attention Is paid to it. J. F. Watson, president of the Mer chants National Bank, was interviewed yesterday In regard to the London flurry. Ho considered it simply a local trouble that has no connection with the general finances of tho world. He said: "I should Judge that the brokers who were obliged to suspend were merely a group of mining Arms, whose bases of op erations were In Australia and South Africa. There might be many causes why they should not be able to continue In business apart from the general condition of business. It Is true that the great col lapse a few years ago was ushered in by the failure of Baring Bros., who haa heavy business connections throughout the world, notably in South America, but that was a large commercial concern. Business firms and groups of firms are continually going to the wall without affecting the general prosperity, and I re gard this as simply as one of those com mon Incidents In business life. "Persons who undertake to operate large mining plants without sufficient capital may find difficulty In disposing of stocks at times, and thus a little flurr may ensue, while at the same time the mines may possess real worth. Specula tors in mining stocks have to take thesa chances, and the downfall may frequently affect quite a number of people without making any impression on the business world." Mr. Watson considers the present money out'.ook very encouraging, and says there never was a more general feeling of con. fldence here than now. "Of course." h added, "Portland Is known as a very con servative city, whose capitalists and busi ness men are chary of Investing In stocks of whose real value they know little or nothing. Mining promoters who have vis ited Portland within the past few years have found this out, and. naturally, some of them get out of ratlence when they And so many persons who refuse an op portunity to gat rich. What mining stocks are being sold in Portland are. as a rule, bought by Eastern people, who desire tt speculate and take chances. "The main reason of Portland's ultra conservatism lies in the fact that many years ago much money was sunk in quartz mines by Portland people, who tried to develop what have since proved good propositions. Mining In those days was much more expensive than now, ana It took more money to develop a mine. Labor was high, provisions were dear, and the freight on material to the mines was enormous. Men paid as high as 12 cents a pound to transport goods and mining implements from Umatilla Land ing to the mining regions of Baker and Grant Counties, and it took very rich diggings to stand these charges. "Mines may be developed much more easily and cheaply now, as transportation has been revolutionized, and the Improve ments In machinery enable men to make money out of base ore which In early days would have been considered worth less. "Portland's conservatism has so far been a safeguard against any general crash, and these little financial pinches that create local flurries in other cities are here absolutely unknown. Business is increasing in volume steadily from year to year, but speculation has no pan in it." SAILOR KILLED BY FALL PAUL BORIC S SKULL CRUSHED BE TWEEN WHARF AXD SHIP. GOOD "COON SHOW." "Colored Aristocracy' the Bill at the Metropolitan. "Colored Aristocracy," which Is billed as a pleasing potpourri of minstrelsy, bur lesque and vaudeville, "made good" Its tltlo to that rather Imposing name at the Metropolitan last night, and pleased a good Sunday night audience. The com pany Is better than the average of Its kind, numbering a score or more of colored people who can sign and dance, and who are also entitled to rank as comedians. The first part of the programme is one of tho ivettiest scenes seen on the Metro politan stage for many a day a garden scene, twinkling with Chinese lanterns and forming a very pretty background for the dusky entertainers. The minstrel part of the programme is new and bright, abounding In good mu sical numbers, and with here and there a pleasant bit of comedy. The olio con tains a number of good specialties, among those who seemed most to catch the favor of the audience being Kid Alston and Mabel Hearde. Madah A. Hyer. Howard and Brown. Katie Carter and Jerry Mills, the latter doing a monologue specialty and singing one or two songs, which sumeagw naa a lammar sound. The performance concludes with "A Rag-Time Reception," In which the whole company participates, and which Is a very fitting finale to a good performance. The company abounds in good voices, and the concerted numbers are sung as only the darkles can sinr them. For an enter tainment of its kind it is unusually well pat together, and there is no gainsaying Che fact that it well pleased the audience. The same bill will be riven all the week, with matinees New Tear's day (Tuesday) and Saturday. Want Central School Closed. PORTLAND, Dec. 30.-(To the Editor.) Having viewed with alarm the rapid spread of diphtheria among, the small pupils of the Central School, among whom so many cases have proved fatal, and seeing among the cases the namo of one of the teachers. I think it time that some action were takrn by the board to have this school closed for a time until the dread disease is stamped out z. Turned to See "Where His Friend Was and Lost Ills Hold on the Hope Ladder. Paul Bork, a seaman of the British ship Luclpara, was killed, yesterday, by falling between the ship and Pine-street wharf. His head was crushed, and he never recovered consciousness after the falL Bork was 35 years old. About 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon, Bork and a fellow-seaman left the ship to call on a friend In a sallor-boardlng-house. After a few drinks, the two re turned to the wharf three hours later. Bork was able to walk without difficulty. He climbed the rope-ladder on the ship's side, and had almost reached the gun wale, when he looked around to see If his mate was coming, and he sang out, "Come along, Jack." Bork's anxiety for his friend cost him his life, for he missed his hold and felt into the space between his ship and the wharf. An alarm was given, and Third Mate Robert Murray and Steward Albert Genss got ropes and went to the rescue. Bork came up just then, and the two men seized him, and hoisted him to the wharf. The sailors immediately tried to resuscitate him by applying the exercises known as first aid to the apparently drowned, but to no effect. Word was sent to the police sta tion, and Captain Hoare and Detective Cordano took up the work, but it was found that Bork had not swallowed any water, as his head had first crashed against the wharf and his teeth were clenched. Seeing that the man was In ternally Injured, the police hurried him to headquarters and summoned City Phy sician Zan. In the meantime, Detectives Snow and Kerrigan, and Officers Bolger ana Jonnstone worked over Bork, until it was evident that life had gone out of him. Captain Witt, of the Luclpara, said: "Bork joined the ship at Hamburg seven months ago. He was an unlucky fellow. Soon after he iolned tis. fcn fpll nn HaV against a barrel and injured his back so severely that he was off duty for three weeks. When at San Pedro, he was work ing at the capstan and one of his fingers was nearly cut off. Bork was an unmar ried man, and previous to joining U3, he ran a saloon In Berlin, Germany." son to locate by sight Instead of feeling for tho currents. "I have an Instrument of my own manu facture, made of metal, which I use for locating. I use this instrument by hold ing it in my hands and passing over these currents. I can feel them as plainly as If the Instrument had life In It. It Is not necessary to keep .my mind on tho sub ject of locating water in order to be suc cessful. I can ride In a buggy or a rail road car and tell where the currents are as I pass over them. The greatest trou ble I have In locating water Is to distin guish strong streams from weak ones. 1 find it very difficult to locate and give th; depth. I find that the condition of the earth enters into the conditions of esti mating depth. I find that where the earth Is very wet the currents can be felt at an angle of 45 degrees, while In very dry earth the current cannot be felt at an angle of more than 15 to 25 degrees."

U&A'&rt'rtA' LAST PONTIFICAL MASS CATHOLIC CHURCH ABOLISHES THE MIDNIGHT SERVICE. LOCATING WATER. D. M. Watson Has Xo Fnlth In the Hazel Divining; Rod. An article published a short time ago about the Investigations of Professor Bar rett, of the Royal Society, In regard to the use of the divining rod for the dis covery of hidden veins of water and min erals has attracted the attention of D. M. Watson, of this city. While Mr. Wat son professes to be able to locate hidden veins of water and minerals, he has no faith In the virtue of the old-fashioned divining rod made of a forked hazel twig, nor In the belief that the operator be comes hypnotized by fixing his eyes on me nazei twig, ac gives his ideas on the subject as follows: "In the first place, I do not believe that any man of ordinary temperament can locate water with a forked stick. My Idea Is that a stick Is not a conductor of heat or electricity. In order to locate wa ter or minerals, It Is necessary to use some Instrument which Is a conductor of heat and electricity. My experience of over 12 years standing and study of the subject of locating water and minerals is this: In order to locate water. It Is nec essary that It be running. The action of moving water creates friction, and fric tion Is electricity, the effects of which can be felt by the proper person, with the proper Instrument. The current from run. nlng water can be felt regardless of what may overlie It. A pipe can be located It water Is running through It. even If It be submerged under many feet of water. The pipes In a building can be located In the same manner. It may be difficult to believe that those currents can be located In a moving vehicle or on a railroad tram, moving at a rapid rate, but such I say Is the case. I hold also that all mineral, that have any attraction for the divining rod are such as carry the peculiar ores that create electricity or currents. The minerals that create currents susceptible of location In this country are the free milling quartz ledges. The gold that they carry, if any. does not enter Into the fac tor of locating. Tt is the mineral affected with the moisture of the earth that enters Into the matter. "No doubt, everybody has at times no ticed streaks of dust hanging low after a team or stock has passed where there was dust on a quiet Suir.mer evening. I ho'a tbat-the currents that rise from running water in the earth are the cause of this dust remaining for a longer period than elsewhere, I believe that if a suitable In strument could be had the currents men tioned could be seen, thus enabling a per- Thtef Given Lodging for the Night Steals a Poor Man's Mare. Sheriff Frazler and deputies have been doing .their best for a week to get track of a fellow who stole a fine mare from a farmer out In Washington County, about six miles west of Portland, but so far without success. The thief called at the farmer's house on last Friday evening and asked leave to stay all night- He said he was going to Corvallis early in the morning. He was given supper and his horse was fed and cared for. When he asked how much his bill was he was told that there was nothing to pay. He got up and went away about 2 o'clock, and when the farmer went out to the stable In the morning he found that his mare had been stolen. He came to Port land and Informed the Sheriff, and search for the thief was at once instituted. A clue was found to a man who had crossed the Burnslde-street bridge early Saturday morning with a led horse, but when this was followed up It proved to be a wrong one. Sheriff Frazler has written and tele graphed to the Sheriffs of several coun ties and other officers to head the thler Qff. He telegraphed to The Dalles and other places along the Columbia to pre vent the thief from escaping Into Eastern Oregon, and to a number of places up tho Valley giving a description of the mare. The mare was a fine one. and the loss Is a serious matter to the owner, who Is a poor man. The mare Is of a dark bay color, weighs about 1500 pounds, has a white star In her forehead and a white snip on the nose. She has a black spot the size of a silver dollar on her right hip. She Is about 7 years old, and rather low set. Should any one see this animal, he will confer a favor on the owner by Informing Sheriff Frazler. HUGUENOTS ASK AH).

He Had Views In 186S and Expressed Them Forcibly. A correspondent In yesterday's issue of The Oregonlan asks for an orator in the Senate, apparently under the impression that Mr. Corbett, whose candidacy he op poses, is without the gift of expression. I This idea is not in accord with the view of Bancroft, the historian, who -speaks of Mr. Corbett's "cogent arguments on the resumption of specie payments, on the funding of the National debt at a lower rate of interest and longer time, and his determined opposition to all plans that savored In the least of bad faith or re pudiation." In one of his speeches on the funding bill, he gave evidence of no mean oratorical ability. The record shows that Mr. Corbett arose to explain the notice he gave that he would offer an amend ment to the funding bill then under con sideration. SO as to make th hnnfls fn question redeemable In coin after 20 years. instead or 10. His remarks turned upon the bold statement of a distinguished Senator, in reply to" a question put to him as to what he would do provided the then bondholder would not accept the 5 per cent bond, that he, for one, would vote to pay off the 5-20 bonds In legal tenders, providing the holders did not see fit to exchange their securities for a bond bearing 1 per cent less Interest than those then held by them. Safd Mr. Corbett: "With such a proposition I cannot agree. The solemn obligations resting upon me as a Senator, and the solemn obligations resting upon the Government in this crisis of our financial struggle for bid. . A straggle, I say, because It Is a strugglo with ourselves whether we will pay our bonds as they mature, In dollars or with our Irredeemable notes, made a legal tender under the pressure of war, and, as a war measure, to be redeemed with gold at the close of the war, or funded into United States bonds bearing Interest that should be equivalent to gold. "It Is not for the present that I speak, but it Is that great, grand and glorious future that I see for my country loom ing up before me, powerful and mighty as sh Is to be, destined to withstand, as one day she will, all the governments of the crowned head3 of Europe, if occasion requires. I would lay our credit deep and broad, not for one century, but for a hundred centuries. "Let us keep our armor bright and our credit untarnished and look to time, to the great future, as our remedy for this burden. To say that we cannot pay the interest on this debt is folly; there is no such sentiment In the American heart, but, on the contrary, they are de termined to do and accomplish what no other nation has the internal "wealth and vigor to do. Many croakers said that we could not put down this Rebellion; the people said: We will try.' All the people now ask Is that you should try to pay the debt. As for myself, I never had a doubt that we could put down the Rebellion. Neither have I had a doubt but that we can pay this debt in dollars. Publla credit sHould be 'like Caesar's wife, above suspicion. "Therefore, let us not crown this tem ple, hewn by the sweat of so many brows, reared by the blood of so many brave lads, with the capstone of repudiation. Let us do nothing as a great and noble and suffering people that shall detract from the honor of those lying silent and cold In their blood-bought graves, with naught but their country's banner over them. To me, Mr. President, my duty la plain; my duty to the men that came for ward to supply our suffering Army, to succor our noble boys, in the day of Na tional darkness and despair, and to the capitalists of Germany, of Frankfort, that took our securities and spewed out ths rebel bonds, and gave to us money, the sinews of war, to assist us In maintaining the life of the Nation. I need not the ex ample of other nations to tell me what is right between man and man. or between nation, and nation; it needs not the shrewd argument of a lawyer to tell mo what is due to my creditor; If there is any one thing that I regard as more sa cred In life, after my duty to my God, it is to fulfill all my engagements, both written and implied, and nothing shall drive me from this position."
