TWO HUNDRED LIVES AT STAKE Bertha, Peter Rlclcmers, Otto Gilde xnlster, Andrada, Rathdown and 'Castle Rock on the Overdue , . slilst Marine Note. The -"blgr storm which swept over the Pacific last month was undoubtedly the worst on record, and when the returns are all in, tho underwriters will have to face some heavy losses.. Aside from the losses of the Alpha, Pioneer, Joseph and Henry, and the Injuries sustained by the Carl, Cromartyshire, and Puget Sound lumber droghers, it is probable that some of the big grain ships now overdue at this port will never be heard of. There are fully half-a-dozen of these overdues on which the reinsurance is dally advancing. The worst case of the fleet is that of the Andrada, which was off the mouth of the Columbia about a month, ago, and after taking Pilot Gardiner aboard stood off shore, and has not since been seen. Forty per cent reinsurance has been offer ed on this vessel. The- German ship Otto GHdemister, which sailed from Yokohama November 15, 1s also regarded as serious enough to warrant 40 per cent being paid, and the big four-master Bertha, out SO days, 75 days from Wel-hai-Wel, is quoted at 33 per cent The Castle Bock Is up to 40 per cent, and the Bathdown Is almost un insurable. The Peter BIckmers Is out long enough to command as high a rata of reinsurance as most of the others, but the weather when she left Hong Kong was such that It Is believed that most of her time was lost on the other sldo before she got well clear of the land. Over 200 lives, and property valued at over $500,000 are at stake In the fleet of "overdues" now listed for Portland and Puget Sound, and In the case of some of them matters are becoming quite serious. MAIL FOR THE FAR EAST. Ten Consignments "Will Leave Port land "Within Next Thirty Days. A great many Oregon and Washington people have wandered across the Pacific within the past two years, and the malls for Manila and other points in the Far East are quite large. Nearly all of the steamers sailing from Pacific Coast ports carry mall from America for points In the Far East, and within the next 30 days there will be ten malls dispatched from Portland. They will leave this city as follows: January 10- and 13, at 1:43 P. M., to connect with the Braemar and Tacoma from Tacoma; January 14. 8:30 P. M.. to connect with the Gaelic at San Francisco: January 18, at 1:45 P. M., to connect with Glenoglo. lcavirg Tacoma, anuary 22, at 8:30 P. M., for the Hong Hon?

Kalsovr Drawing Over Twenty-four Feet Reaches Astoria on Time. The British steamship Kalsow, drawing 24 feet 3 inches of water, and carrying a cargo of 182,000 bushels of wheat, went through from Portland to Astoria without delay anywhere on the route. She left here Saturday afternoon late, and an chored near Rainier that evening, getting under way again the next morning and arriving at Astoria at 2:30 Sunday after noon, being on the way less than 24 hours, including the time lost at anchorage over night The Kalsnw went down the river in charge of TV". H. Pope and as soon as she got into the Columbia River, filled her water tanks, taking on enough to bring her draft down to 24 feet 6 Inches, which Is about the deepest draft that has yet been taken down the river, although heavier cargoes have been taken out by some of the other steamers on a lighter draft of water. WRECKED IN THE STRAITS. Small Spanish Stenraer Meets With Disaster and Pirates. NEW TORK. Jan. 7. The little Spanish steamship San Augustln has been wreck ed on a small Islet In Smith Channel, Straits of Magellan. The British steam ship Coya, which arrived in New York last night, saved the passengers and crew, 103 In number, from attack by the pirates off the coast and landed all hands at Punta Arenas. The wreck of the San Augustine oc curred November 27, but the first news of It was brought here by the Coya. The Spanish steamer, in command of Captain Suarez, left Coronel, In Chile, for Punta Arenas, November 22, five days before she struok the rocks In Smith Channel. The boats landed the passengers and crew, who were composed of Spanish and Chileans. On the rocky Islet they had to remain two days before they were rescued by the Coya's men. The pirates who swarm on that coast had taken all they could lay hands on from the wrck. THE DILATORY PERRY. Other Vessels Come and Go, but She Still Lingers. ASTORIA, Or.. Jan. 7. The revenue cut ter Commodore Perry dropped down to the lower harbor this afternoon, and will start out as soon as weather conditions permit on her search .for the missing Brit ish bark Andrada, which was boarded by P. C Crdlner, the bar pilot, off the mouth of the Columbia December 11. The cruise will be along the shore of Van couver Island, as It Is believed that that is the most likely place to find some trace of the Andrada or any of the other miss ing vessels. "While the other bar pilots do not openly express an opinion as to tho safety or loss of the vessel. It Is quite evident that they now fear that the worst has happened. Carrying Coal to Hawaii. TACOMA. TV"ash., Jan. 7. The Ameri can bark Agate, cleared today for Eleele, Hawaii, with a cargo of coal. The Agate Is the first vessel t& carry coal from Tacoma to that port and the second ves sel to sail there from the Sound. The Agate's trip to Eleele Is somewhat of an experiment, the owners of the vessel hop ing by landing "Washington coal there di rect to obtain the added profits that have been going to the steamboat owners. Arrival of the Braemar. TACOMA, Wash., Jan. 7. The Oriental liner Braemar is reported at Victoria quarantine today.. IS days from Kobe. She brings a full cargo of silks, teas and mer chandise. The Braemar will arrive at Tacoma tomorrow morning. Marine Notes. The Norman Isles left down the river at noon yesterday. She was drawing about 22 feet of .water and will go through without delay. The steamer McMlnnvllle has been pur chased by the Oregon City Transporta tion Company and will be enlarged and placed in service on the Willamette River. The British bark Province arrived up yesterday morning, and the French bark Alice started seaward. Scottish Isles .also left down yesterday. The German ship Alice will follow tomorrow or' next day. The cut of the steamship Kalsow, which appeared in The Sunday Oregonlan, was from a photograph by Ford, the photog rapher, foot of Morrison street, credit being Inadvertently omitted from the pic ture. Mr. Ford makes a specialty of marine work and his photographs of steamers and sailing ships are the finest that have been taken in this city. Domestic and Foreign Ports. ASTORIA.

Van Camp's Soups, 10c INDORSEDTHEHOUSEBIU PART FOUR OF THE SEXATE OOM ' "MITTEE'S CANAIj REPORT. Senator .Horgaa Enumerates, the Plana to Secure Delay Real Ob ject of the Panama Company. WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-Senator Mor gan today presented part Fv of the report of the Senate committee on inter-oceanic canals on the project of an isthmian waterway. It is chiefly Interesting In being a re-affirmation that the House bill now pending In the Senate, providing for the construction of the Nicaragua Canal, furnished the "Just, safe, true and honor able method of providing this maritime highway." The report says: "Each new development of facts; each apparent change of diplomatic situations; each lapse of concessions made to our citizens by Nicaragua during a half-century; each suggestion or overture for a Joint control of the canal by other gov ernments in connection with the United States; each effort to lodge the owner ship and control of this canal in cor porate bodies instead of the United States; each obstruction 'that was presented, whether openly or secretly, by competi tive lines of transportation, or by spec ulative enterprises chartered by states for the purpose of preventing the United States 'from executing Its settled policy of the exclusive ownership and control of a canal through the Isthmus of Darien, has the more firmly convinced your com mittee tha,t the provisions of House bill 2538 are the Just, cafe, true and honor able method of providing this maritime highway for all the nations of the world. "It Is needless that any government, corporation or combination of Individuals should to attempt to divert the United States from Its fixed policy as to the ownership and control of such a canal, and that element of discussion Is dropped. Neither Is it necessary to consider any route for a canal besides those of Panama and Nicaragua, the search for any other Toutc having demonstrated that only these routes are practicable." The report then treats the Nicaragua route as the one "selected finally," stat ing that the decisive vote In the House 225 to 5 determines the location, "so that it remains only to vindicate that decision against the pretensions of the Panama route." The report then argues in detail on tho advantages of the Nicaragua route over all others. It sets forth what Is stated to be "conclusive proof of the fa tal defect of the Panama route," the complications in the way of having the United .States take up the Panama route, etc. After referring to evidence given by Panama canal officials, the report says: "The statements made on that hearing disclose the animus of these parties In seeking a hearing before the committee, and its (the Panama Canal Company's) plan of obstruction In an unmistakable way. It is not to obtain aid from the United States. That idea is 'disdainfully repelled. It Is not to get permission from the United States to construct, own and control a canal at Panama. These hear ings and reports in connection with the letters written by Mr. Cromwell lead to the unavoidable conclusion that the new Panama Canal Company Is still endeavor ing' to defeat a canal through Costa Rica and Nicaragua, as it was In 1893. Mr. Morgan sets forth seven headings In the "plan to secure delay." Including the complications on the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. He says: "No excuse remains for delaying the ac tion of Congress, either to,rgrtlfy the new Panama Canal Company1 or to dally with any other power in negotiations over a measure that enters deeply Into our National financial policy and will shape the action of our Government and peqple In a great many other Important matters that concern them. This Is a great and controlling measure of public expenditure which Is now safely within our means, and Congress should now determine that it will provide a law to sanction It or else that It is not worthy of consideration and abandon it. "If the House bill Is passed in the Sen ate and becomes a law. It' Is safe to ex pect that an agreement can be made with Great Britain, as favorable, at least, to the United States as that contained In the Hay-Pauncefote treaty as amended, after the House bill Is enacted. This ex planation Is not based upon any supposed want of power or of will in that great empire to maintain what she considers a Just or advantageous position, nor yet upon her magnanimity, for that we do not ask, but upon the fact that the canal, when built, will be of Incalculable value to all her North and Central American possessions, and that she can never real ize these advantages without the consent and assistance of the United States. Nei ther can Great Britain or any combina tion of powers construct and maintain a canal at Panama without our consent." THIS YEAR'S ASSESSMENT. For Multnomah County It Is $1,000, OOO Larger Than In 1800. The total assessed value of all property In Multnomah County for the year 1900, for the purposes of taxation, as returned by Assessor Greenleaf, Is 132,639,987, as against $31,669,771 for the year 1899.

Redemption of this city and of the Nation from corrup tion by means of individual Christian In fluence was the theme of Bishop Pot ter's sermon in St. George's Church last evening. The bishop said that the gilts of the three wise men to the infant Christ were symbolical. "In the myrrh brought by the three sages," said Bishop Potter, "we find the type of Christ's conservative and pre servative influence the fragrant balm of his healing touch. Not by its own poten tial energy can the myrrh of Jesus' Christ's influence be placed where it is needed. Individual contact of Christians, first with the myrrh and then with the invalid world, is the equation which of fers the solution for the corruption, of city, nation or race. "Thousands of bales of precious myrrh might be piled upon the docks down at th Batterj'i but do you suppose that this fragrant salvo could heal this city's sores jfcj until the potion had been unpacked and applied- by the- willing hands to each bruise and laceration.? Individual agency Is what we need. "Never, my friends; can we make New Tork what we wish without this person al influence. It is in- this Individual thought that I foresee the redemption of the human race. 'If I were asked to say what has done the most harm In. the world, I would say. next to sin, I believe It was tho spirit of caste. The feeling off caste exists in the neighborhood. In tho community and in the Nation. We can all Bee its influence in social matters, but I wonder how many of us appreciate Its influence in interna tional affairs? This feast of the Epiph any celebrates the breaking apart of the barriers about the ancient Hebrew Church and its enlargement so as to take In all mankind." COMPETITOR PURCHASED. Sunset Company 'Buys Rogue River Valley Line. MEDFORD, Or., Jan. 7. The Rogue River Valley telephone today passed Into the control of the Sunset Telephone & Telegraph Company. All telephones on tho former line were today taken out by the latter and broken up with the ax. The Rogue River Valley line connected the .towns of Grant's Pass, Medford and Ashland, and all intermediate towns. It was a paying investment for the stock holders, and was undoubtedly bought by the Sunset at an advanced price. The lines are being torn down now. This will leave the towns 6f Woodvllle and Eagle Point without any telephone connection. It la understood that the line from Rock Point to Grant's Pass will not be torn down, there being! no competition. WORKING FOR NEW CREAMERY. Project for Clackamas County Farm ers Near Oregon City.

Jan 7.-The English Jockey, Samuel Loats, proposes to cross the continent and visit the principal cit ies of the United States. He will start West In a week or 10 days with San Fran cisco as his destination. In California he will attend the races at Oakland and Tanforan and visit some of the noted breeding establishments on the Pacific Coast. Returning, he will visit Southern California, New Orleans and Florida and will sail for home about March 1. Speak ing last nlsnt of the Tod Sloan Incident, Loates said: ' "As his case stands now it appears that the Jockey Club simply says it does not want him an.d at the same time does not present any obstacles to hia employment elsewhere. It might be more satisfactory If tho actions were more definite, but they do things their own way. "During my experience the best horse I ever saw was Ormonde. I shall go and see him when I get to California. The best horse we have over there now Is Diamond Jubilee, but his temper is bad. Urger is easily the fastest for six fur longs, and has been a horse of rare speed since he was a 2-year-old. "Races are run differently from what they were before the Americans came over. Formerly only the big handicaps were run at top speed from the start. Now nearly all the races are run all the way at top speed. Wo believe In trying horses against each other, Instead of against the watc'j, although some train era and the Americans generally are mak ing use oU the watch. Huggins Is using horses more than he formerly did. I don't believe the watch reliable, because the effect of the wind cannot be shown by the watch and the wind often seri ously checks the speed of horses." THE DAY'S RACES. Winners tit Oakland.

NORTHERN PACIFIC LAND CASE Supreme Court Upheld the Ruling of the Secretary of the Interior. WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. In the United States Supreme Court today opinions were handed down by Justice Harlan In several cases Involving the question whether it was competent for the Secre tary of the Interior, upon receiving and approving the map of definite location of the Northern Pacific road In the States of North Dakota and Washington, to make an order withdrawing odd num bered sections of the lands within the In demnity limits from settlement. The test case in the list came from North Dakota, the title being Fred Hewitt, plaintiff In error, vs. Emll and Frederlcka Schultz. The land In question was settled upon by Hewitt in 1882, but his proof of settlement was rejected on the ground that the land had been withdrawn in 1873 by the Secre tary of the Interior as within the limits of Northern Pacific Indemnity. The rail road then sold the land to Schultz and his wife, and they entered upon posses sion of It. Hewitt immediately began pro ceedings to recover the land, and today's decision, which is final, was In his favor, reversing the Supreme Court of North Da kota. The decision qf the court supported the holding of Secretary Vilas, rendered In 1883, which has since been followed by the Interior Department. The court stated that while It was true that previous to that date the department had pursued the opposite course, still the department had consistently held to Its findings since that time. At best, therefore, Justice Harlan said, the contention of the railroad people was one of doubt. Many titles have been acquired, said he, since Mr. Vilas' decision was rendered, and the court did not think the Secretary should be reversed. The opinion added: "The practice of the Land Department, if wrong at all, cannot be said to be so plainly wrong as to justify the court, aft er the lapse of so many years, in ad Judging that it had misconstrued the act of July 2. 1864. The order of withdrawal by the Secretary, upon which the title of the railroad company depends, being out of the way, there was no ground to ques tion the title of plaintiffs to the land In dispute." Justices Brewer and Shlras united In a dissenting opinion. The decision affects a large number of land entries. To Permit Prizefighting Again. New York Tribune. ALBANY, Jan. L Assemblyman Charles F.
