1U THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1901. PETER IS OVERDUE Another Big German Ship Is Making a Long'Passage. LEFT HONG KONG MONTHS AGO Crew Is Undoubtedly on Short Ra- 4 tlons The French Baric Xante Wrecked In Engliih Channel Fleet Thinnlns Out. It is Ave months ago tomorrow since the bigr German ship Peter Rlckmers sailed in ballast from Hong Kong for this port- The passage is ordinarily made in about 50 days, so that the big ship might be considered over three months overdue. The fact that reinsurance is not being paid on her is because she departed from the usual route across the Pacific, and struck off down the China seas. Just why the master chose this route Is uncertain, but It is supposed to be on account of unfa vorable winds that blow over the North Pacific at the season of the year when the Rlckmers was getting away from the Orient. The big ship sailed from Hong Kong September 15. and passed Anjer 69 days later, or Just about the time she was due off the mouth of the Columbia. As Anjer Is farther away from Portland than Hong Kong, she was not expected for at least CO days after passing there, but it has now been over three months since she -was last spoken. The Peter Rlckmers Is a well-known vessel In this port, and gen erally makes slow passages. For this rea son it Is not believed that she has been lost, but her long delay in reaching port Is causing some concern lest her crew is living on short rations. It is not the general practice to provision a ship for a live months voyage in coming across the Pacific, and when the big ship does show up her crew are pretty certain to be hungry they will at least be ready for come fresh food. ANOTHER GRAIN SHIP GONE. French Baric Xante Cnt Dotto. In the English Channel. Hard luck stories continue to drift in .frpm the en route grain fleet, and as there Is little or no chartering being done, the proportions of the fleet are being steadily reduced. The last vessel to meet with, disaster was the French bark Nan tes, which sailed from Penarth a few weeks ago. The Nantes was en route to Shanghai, from which port she was to come to Portland, and, while going down the English Channel, was struck by a steamer and cut down nearly to the keel. 6he sank immediately, and will probably become a total loss. The Poltalloch still remains high and dry on the "Washington coast, and the Occident remains down in the FIJI Islands, where she burned. The Edmund has arrived at San Francisco, where several thousand dollars will be spent In making her as good as new. The Andrada, Otto Gildemister, R'athdown, Bertha and Cape "Wrath are still missing, and but little hope is expressed for any of them. WAS THE IiUCERXE. Wreckage From the Missing Steam er Has Been Identified. ST. JOHNS. N. F., Feb. 13. It Is al most certain that the steamship Lu cerne was the victim of the disaster near Bacllieu. A message from the agent to the owners this afternoon said: "Unidentified wreckage the same as Lucerne's fittings found at Lead Cove." The owners and mariners conversant wlth the facts agree that the ship has gore. Her loss Involves 30 lives, 23 of her own crew, and seven others, ship wrecked seamen and passengers. The sup position is that she either burst her boil ers and went to pieces, or struck the cliffs and foundered. As all the Lucerne's crew resided here, the disaster has ap palled the whole community. STEAMER EVA SAILS. Damn pre" to the Blp Flonr Cargo "Were of Small Consequence. The steamship Bva, from this port for Hong Kong, with a cargo of flour, sailed from -San Francisco yesterday afternoon. The steamer sprung a leak 150 miles off the Columbia River, and was obliged to put Into San Francisco to discharge and repair. She went up to McNear's dock at Port Costa, and. after discharging 250 tons of flour the leak was discovered. It was on the port side In a scupper pipe leading from the poop deck. The pipe was of lead cased in wood, and rats had gnawed through the lead, probably in search of water, making a hole that caused all the trouble.- Ships Are Scarce. The French bark La Rochefoucauld left down the river yesterday morning, and the Scottish Hills will follow today. This will leave but three ships loading in Port land harbor, and as it Js'getting so far along in the month it will be hardly pos sible to get any more vessels in soon enough to clear them before next month. The situation is somewhat unusual at this time from the fact that there are over 30 cargoes of wheat on spot. The de pressed condition of the wheat market prevents exporters taking up any new tonnage, even if it were available, and most of them are resting on their laurels, waiting for a favoring breeze to blow in some of the ships which are due and overdue. Xo "Wreck at Tatoosh. SHATTLE. "Wash.. Feb. 13. The news that a distressed ship was ashore on the rocks off Tatoosh Island proved to be er roneous. A telegram from "Weather Ob server Hobbs, at Neah Bay, states that there is no truth in the report. It is be Ueved the collier Frederica, which re ported sighting a ship ashore off the Island, passed either the Glooscap or the Santa Clara standing In closer to the land than is usual. Both the ships are now at Port Townsend. Anchor Liner In Trouble. NEW YORK, Feb. 13. The Anchor Line steamer Astoria, which sailed early this morning for Glasgow, was reported by the marine observer at Fire Island at 19:15 A. M., stopped about one mile south east of Fire Island lightship. At noon the Astoria had drifted near the coast east of Fire-Island lightship. Overdnt Steamer Sighted. QUEENSTOWN. Feb. 13. The Belgian steamer Rhyneland, of the International Navigation Company, which left Phila delphia January 28 for Queenstown and Liverpool, and was over five days over due, was sighted off Brow Head, about GO miles from here, at 5:30 o'clock P. M. Ardamuirchan Reinsurance. LONDON. Feb. 13. Grave anxiety is felt at Lley's and in the produce markets in regard to the safety of the British ship Anteraurchan. Sixty-five guineas pre mium has been paid to reinsure the ship. Deal Will "Go Through. LONDON. Feb. IS. The Pall Mall Ga zette says It understands the Vlckers-Maxlm-Cramp deal will shortly be con summated. It adds that Mr. Leow, adl- rector of the Vivkers-Maxim Company, who is now in the Uinted States, cabled Saturday that everything was nearly settled. Cargo of Wnnhtucna. ASTORIA, Feb. 13.

BROTHER PALMER AGAIN REITERATES HIS DESIRE TO MRS. NATION CROWNED. SEE And Says Her Joint-Smashing Re minds Him of Elijah, on Mount Carmel. -PORTLAND, Feb. 12. (To the Editor.) Kindly allow me space to reply to your editorial of February S, in which you take me to task for saying that Mfs. Nation ought 'to be "crowned." The satement accredited to me was made use of in an address before the County "Women's Christian Temperance "Union convention, held at the United Presbyte rian Church. During my remarks, I said, referring to Mrs. Nation: "You ask, Is this a nor mal condition? No, perhaps not; and yet when lawmakers become lawbreakers, and the lawless element trample all law under their feet, such a woman as Mrs. Nation, who, valuing not her own life, for humanity's sake, goes out to break up the Joints, deserves to be crowned." OREGON PIONEER OF 183& mmmmmmmaammmimmBatmmmmammmmmtmmmmmmmammammmmi BOBaiassmEagaraanBsagnaaBBHBsaBasaisKiasBaaBBBsaBSMnBBnna THE LATE MRS. Fr MATTHIEC, OF BUTTEVILLE. You say: "Are you not somewhat ex treme?" Yes, but Jesus Christ was ex treme when he took the lash and drove the rascals out of the temple. And, again, I say, "Mrs. Nation deserves to be crowned!" notwithstanding the opin ion of The Oregonian to the contrary Quoting from Emerson, you say that his position was this: "It had always taken all of his time and attention to achieve half-way reform within himself, and that he was not arrogant enough . . . to assume to reform others." In a sense, this Is good philosophy; In another, It Is not. Suppose the people of this country had followed that plan in regard to the question of slavery, would not that curse have still hung like a millstone around the neck of our na tion? Such men as Henry Ward Beecher felt that they were called on to "reform oth ers," for he hurled his anathemas against the curse of human slavery from the shores of two continents, nor ceased his efforts until he and hundreds of others were heard around the world. You say: "Rev. Ray Palmer, while de ploring the strong tendency in America to ignore law, glorifies Mrs. Nation, who Is a lawbreaker." Will you kindly In form your readers what law Mrs. Nation has broken? Has not City Attorney Gregg, of Topeka, backed by the City Councilor and an attorney employed to prosecute Mrs. Nation dismissed the case against her on the ground that she could not be legally prosecuted by the city? You say: "Because the authorities of Kansas have, in contempt of the state constitution, practically licensed the sale of liquor by allowing 'Joints to exist, on payment of periodical fines, that is no reason why Mrs. Nation Is free to de stroy the property of persons whom she deems violators of the law." Now. Mr. Editor, why should you equivocate by saying 'whom she deems violators of the law9 Do we not know that these Joint keepers are violators of the law? Do we not know that the saloon element of this country is almost universally the most lawless element with which we have to deal, as has been shown so often In your able editorials, In which you have shown that prohibition Is often a failure? Do you say that because lawmakers and officials Ignore the law, and "joint-keepers" despise the law, that this Is the reason why Mrs. Nation should destroy the property of "joint-keepers"? Will you kindly Inform your readers by what law of Kansas or any other state a "joint-keeper" or a gambling-house keeper has any protection for his prop erty, chattels, fixtures, etc., which are being used In his business in defiance of the law? In Seattle, a few months ago, the prop erty of gamblers was confiscated and Dr. Harry A. Littlefteld,Appointed Assistant Surgeon, U. S. A. stacked In a pile in the street and burned, and the gamblers were glad enough to get off with that, if they could only es cape the weightier penalty of the law. The editor intimates that Mrs. Nation may have "lost a worthless son at cards," Lbut that that would be no justification for the mother's heart to rise up and demolish the instruments of hell by which her offspring was hurled into dark ness. Mr. Editor, you will pardon me, but I for one am getting tired of the flippant way in which you speak of the ruin of the young manhood of our country, and then take your stand so bravely beside the mere chattels and material fixtures of IWI,IWPIM3BBMa1IIWiaWWMMVBW"jr law-breakers and dive-keepers, and prac tically say with Martin Luther, who spoke In the defense of a better cause: "Here I stand. I can do no other; so help me God." You say Mrs. Nation Is a "fool" because she goes single-handed and alone Into a "Joint" and smashes mirrors and bottles, although a son may have been destroyed through those gateways to death. If she is a fool, then what shall we say of those who for the love of gold, will set their deadly traps In defiance of law, for the eternal destruction of the home, and the bodies and souls of men? Mr. Editor, it seems to me that the right thing, the heroic thing for you to do, would be to say something like this: "While the methods of Mrs. Nation 3eem somewhat extreme, yet she Is "doubtless a high minded, tender-hearted. conscientious woman, inspired to do those things be cause of the appalling failure on the part of the officials, and the ominous anarch istic attitude of the saloon element of Kansas." You ought to show that such men as those who defy the law are anarchists, and are traitors to the flag; that they are absolutely un-American in every fiber of their Delng and deserve to be pun ished to the full extent of the law. You ought to take your stand squarely against the city and state officials of Kansas who are base perjurers, ana wno aeserve io : saseg be Impeached and prosecuted to the limit of the law. But no, not one word of condemnation have you for the enemies of our flag and the consclousless haters of the laws of Kansas. But you w'lll rise up in your an ger and attack most bitterly a poor, lone woman, who hasn't harmed the hair of the head of a single "joint keeper" only smashed some of the Internal fixtures of those devil-born, law-defying dens of death. They may have damned her child forever, but for her there is nothing left but to suffer on. while her bleeding heart oozes out its blood, drop by drop, almost frozen with despair. If she dares to lift her hand even to strike the weap on from the hand that murdered her son, she is a "fool," a "rioter," a leader of a "mob," and "richly deserves pun ishment." No, Mr. Editor, if you and all the edi tors of the great dallies of this country would only take your stand once for all in a positive, outspoken, demand for law enforcement, In city, state and Nation- there would soon be no cause for out raged mothers and grandmothers, long- suffering and heart-broken, to strike back at the despollers of their firesides. No, Mr. Editor, you don't mean It you are kind hearted and the mistake Is In the head. But, Mr. Editor, I have assumed that Mrs. Nation has possibly lost a son through the haunts of death. We have no evidence, however, that this is true. From all I can find out, Mrs. Nation has suffered no such loss. But seeing the sorrows of others, she has gone forth In the name of God and humanity to strike a death blow against the chief enemies of our government. Since Gov ernor Stanley and Attorney-General God ard have "cotton strings" for backbones, and stand and tremble, like the moral cowards they are, before the low-browed "swill peddlers" of the state, God has raised up Carrie Nation, the silver-haired heroine from Medicine Lodge, to em phasize the sovereignty of the Individual above the crouching, cowardly official who refuses to do his duty. In the meantime, a vast majority of the best people of Kansas are standing by Mrs. Nation. A gold medal has been given her, and hundreds of the noblest women are forming Into companies, bat talions and regiments. Chief of Police Stahl, of Topeka. Is quoted as saying: "It Is practically Impossible to close the saloons without destroying them, and In consultation with Mayor Drew, It had been decided to use the entire machinery of the police department to assist Mrs. Nation In breaking up the liquor business in the city, and protect her from as sault." Know ye not that Mrs. Nation has come to the throne for such a time as this? To see an army of lawbreakers in Kansas, standing in awe of one little godly woman Is as grand a slghtas that of the false prophets trembling before Elijah on Carmel! Again I say: "Let Mrs. Nation be crowned!" RAY PALMER. Let us get down to common sense, and abjure epileptic eloquence. What is the situation In Kansas? A number of years ago the people voted for constitutional prohibition. The result was that every drug store in Kansas became a tippling shop. Then the Legislature In 1893 en acted legislation that virtually licenses liquor-selling, for It provided that liquor sellers should pay a fine when arrested for illegal traffic; that Is, license fees be. collected in form of fines for violation of the law. In other words the Legislature enacted a law that was In violation of their own fundamental prohibition of the liquor traffic. The same state of things prevails In Maine in the large towns and cities. Maine, like Kansas, has planted prohibition in her constitution, but tho liquor joints In the larger towns Instead of being closed out, are periodically mulcted In fines. The Legislature of Maine did not pass any laws In conflict with constitutional prohibition, as did Kansas, but the same situation which prompted the eruption of Mrs. Carrie Na tion at Wichita and Topeka exists In the leading towns of Maine. Nevertheless Maine has not had her peace broken by a band of riotous women armed with hatch ets, because public opInlorMn Maine be lieves that if a state wishes to retain the respect of the country it must punish Its mobs, whether they are organized to burn men at the stake or to wreck saloons with a "hatohet. The Rev. Ray Palmer Inquires-what law was broken by Mrs. Nation, and her fel low sisters, when they proceeded to de stroy the mirrors, furniture and stock of the liquor joints. Mrs. Nation was a rioter, a disturber of the public peace. She is not a Deborah In Israel, to decide when law has been Violated and how it should be redressed. There Is a peaceful way of making a test case before the courts, and obtaining an order declaring the legislative statutes in violation of the fundamental law, and if a prosecuting of ficer should refuse to do his duty on prop er complaint he would be subject to re moval, or to replacement at the ballot box. In any event no private person who undertakes to enforce the law without public authority is other than a rioter and breaker of the peace. The Oregonian has asked the Rev. Ray Palmer whether In event of a refusal of our city authorities to extinguish their recent system of illegal license to gambling-houses, he would justify a Mrs. Car rie Nation In wrecking the furniture ol the gambling-house with a hatchet. If a woman on her own personal responsibility may decide, "I am the State, I and my little hatchet," In the matter of a liquor joint, she may so decide In the matter of an open gambling-house or bagnio, and the whole peace and order of society Is liable to be perennially broken by some male or female crank. Tho "motherhood" of Mrs. Nation Is not to the point; her "silver hair" is not to the pur pose. She is old enough to know better .If she is sane, and if she Is not sane sho should not be apotheosized as a saint by people who desire to have the respect of the friends of law and order. If laws are not enforced; if legal officers do not do their duty there is a peaceful, legal meth od of redress; a riotous hatchet Is not a legitimate sword of public justice. If every cltfzen who is dissatisfied with the administration of the laws should be suf fered to start out with a club and head a mob to enforce them the civilized order of society would be destroyed. The rem edy of Mrs. Nation Is provided In the power that citizens have under the Con stitution of the state. A liquor saloon that Is without legal existence can be proceed ed against through organized machinery of justice in Kansas. In the main acts of mob violence against a liquor saloon on the plea that it is a "death trap" are utterly without justification. A liquor sa loon Is no more "a death trap" to a re sponsible human being than a stock range Is "a death trap" to a cattle thief. A man who cannot pass a rum shop without falling Into it Is like a man who cannot be trusted except when there is nothing to steal In sight. The world never has and never will waste much time or tears over that stock figure of sentimental humbug and charlatan temperance reform, "the reformed drunkard" with the "death trap" attached. In our judgment Mrs. Nation Is a vulgar fool, who enjoys being a pub lic sensatlorallst, but even If she were a woman of worthy motives she Is none the less a gross enemy of public law and or der, who is without defense or justification for her senseless conduct. Her methods are those of an anarchist who answers maladministration by assassination. WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY. Edncationnl Convention Will Prob ably Be Called to Aid It. Rev. L. E. Rockwell and Rev. H. W. Kellogg returned yesterday from an In spection of the Willamette University, at Salem, and a consultation with the faculty and regents over the future of that insti tution. It was desired that Bishop Crans ton should be one of the party, but he was prevented from going on account of Illness. Dr. Rockwell, In speaking of the visit, remarked that they found the institution in better shape than it had been for the past 10 years, but much re mains to be done to push it to the front as an institution of learning. "We found the affairs of the university in good condition," said Dr. Rockwell; "but we hope from the plans that were then discussed to promote Its growth by awakenlns an Interest all over the state. To this end and for this purpose It was proposed while Dr. Kellogg and I were at Salem that an educational convention be held at Salem for the purpose of bringing to the support of Willamette University the Methodist churches of Oregon. The Portland University has been consolidated with the Willamette, and there Is no more division of strength by having two schools. We want to bring to the support of the Willamette University all the Meth odists of the state. We have to com pete with the state schools, and need the support of all the churches, and one of the objects of the proposed educational convention will be to bring this about Plans have not been fully matured. We talked with the members of the faculty and General W. H. Odell, president of the board of regents, and they are favorable to holding the convention. It will prob ably be arranged for In the near future. The university has a larger attendance now than It has had for the past 10 years. It is not embarrassed. The members of the faculty are doing good work." Mohican Will Visit Portland. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 13. The United States training ship Mohican has come down from the Mare Island navy-yard, after having been almost entirely rebuilt. The Mohican will take aboard about 250 apprentices here, and will start on a cruise to the Southern Seas. She will call at Santa Barbara, San Diego, Magdalena Bay and Honolulu. On her return to San Francisco she will go north, calling at all the Puget Sound ports, and stopping on the Columbia River and at Portland on her way home. Most of her voyaging will be done under sail. Handball Tournament. The opening games of the doubles' hand icap tournament at the Multnomah Club vere played last evening.
