SAX FRANCISCO. March E. The ship
Harry Morse sailed for Astoria today in
ballast under police protection. The Morse

men's Packing Company, and the crew
had been shipped at that port -with the
"understanding that they were to load the

CltUlSE OF THE ATLANTA.
Eventful Voj-hrc of the Only Vesnel
of the Vcneznclan JFuvy.
KEW YORK, March 5. The ship's com
pany that left this port, January 2L in
Jay Goulds. former yacht, Atalanta, trans
formed Into the gunboat Restaurador,
tinder Venezuelan colors, and equipped
with Fhowy naval uniforms and hope of
attaining Venezuelan commissions, have
returned home on the liner Philadelphia,
They were gone a little -over a month, al
though they were expected to deliver
the boat to the Venezuelan Government
In 10 days. The yacht was sold to the
Venezuelan Government early in Janu
ary, and constitutes the entire Venezue
lan Navy. Her armament consisted,
"when she sailed, of four six-poundei
Hotchkiss guns, a three-pounder, and
two two-pounders, and she was loaded
"With ammunition. Captain Jeremiah Me.
xithew, was In command; under him were
45 men.
The first night at sea the ship ran
Into a storm which damaged her con
siderably and raged four days. It was
decided to run Into San Juan, but the coal
had given completely out before that port
was reached. The cabin furnishings,
which had been In the yacht since the
days of Jay Gould, were dumped Into
the furnaces: fancy wood panelings, por
tieres, carpets and tables, and finally the
provisions such of them as would burn
rapidlyt went into "the hrcF.
In San Juan the Restaurador lay from
January 3 to February C being repaired
end refitted. After departure from San
Juan, according to the story of one
of the crew, the vessel was ordered to
bombard the town of Carupano. held
supposedly hj the rebels. The guns had
been trained en the town when It was
learned from a fiug that the town had
been recaptured by the government.
Short' after this a number of prisoners
-were p.ttcea on board the little gunboat.
Amon? the prisoners wis the Insurgent
general commanding in that part of the
country. He had been sentenced to be
shot, but it had been decided to send
him to I-a Guayra and thence to Caracas,
where the sentence was to be carried
out. He was hopelessly crushed and spoke
to nobody. As long as the boat was vis
ible from the town his wife and daughters
stood upon a high peak of rocks gazing
after him.
The vessel ran aground on the island
of Coche, in the Straits of Margarita. She
stayed there until early in the morning
of February 12. She was pulled off by a
tug and a German and a Dutch steamer
that happened along. On the same day
the vessel touched at three other small
ports, two of which were "Waunda and
Cumana, at which she took on more pris
oners and soldiers.
The ship got into La Guayra February
13. She was no sooner in port and the
prisoners and soldiers discharged than
the Government put the skipper, his ottt
cers and most of the men ashore. They
were paid in Venezuelan silver, which was
eventually exchanged by the authorities
at 80 cents on the dollar into American
sold.
WHEAT PORTS.
Characteristic Misrepresentation by
a Pujret Sound "Authority."
The Seattle correspondent of the New
Tork Commercial is entitled to the medal
ior faking. If juggling with statistics
will make Seattle one of the great Ameri
can exporting ports of breadstuffs, this
young man may be depended upon to do
it. In a letter published In the Commer
cial of February 2S, he clashes Puget
Sound among the five principal wheat
ports of the country in January ship
ments. The truth is that the five prin
cipal ports in January were, in their or
der: Galveston, New Orleans, New York,
San Francisco and Portland. Shipments
Irom this port were l,oiu,:35 bushels. Pu
get Sound was sixth In rank, with 1,502,359
bushels. Portland is far ahead of Puget
Sound in wheat exports. Its record for
the seven months ended February 1, make
It the third wheat port in the United
States. New York Is first, and Galveston
second. Portland's shipments for the
seven months were 7.593.9S7 bushels, com
pared wljh 5.55S.374 bushels on the-same
date in 19-30. Puget Sound is the seventh
port, with 4,791,462 bushels.

PORTLAND, March 4. (To the Editor.)
In the matter of the veto of the Portland
charter by Governor Geer, I note that sev
eral of the criticisms of the Governor's
action refer to his apparent inconsisten
cy In approving other charter bills which
were not read In full on third reading
while he exercised his veto power on the
Portland bill because, among other good
reasons, legal complications would prob
ably arise, on account of the manner In
which the bill was handled on its third
reading, and thus involve the City of
Portland in embarrassing entanglements.
In justice to the Governor, I feel im
pelled to say that the cases referred to by
his critics are not parallel. It is a well
recognized proceeding of legislative ac
tion on the third reading of charter
bills to consider them by unanimous con
sent, to have been read in full, and the
journal will indicate nothing to the con
trary. By common consent the legis
lative body can do many acts In them
selves, not strictly lawful, which thereby
become legalized. But in the case in
point it Is well known to those who fol
lowed the proceedings and especially to
those Senators and Representatives who
took part in them, that not only -was
unanimous consent not given, but, be
cause of the efforts of nearly all of the
Multnomah delegation to have the char
ter passed without having been flrst
printed and opportunity given the people
of Portland to examine Its proposed pro
visions, decided objection and strenuous
protests were made against the high
handed method used, which was in di
rect controventlon of the provisions of
the constitution. The Governor had know
ledge of the flaws In the proceedings under
which the bill was said to have been
passed, and he would "have been dere
lict In his duty had he not taken notice
of the facts and by his veto placed the
seal of his disapproval upon such tyran
nical methods. S. E. JOSEPHL

In a List of; Forty Articles, Thlrty-
tivo ShoTT Gains la 1000, as
Compared With 1809.
WASHINGTON. March 2. The steady
growth in the exportation of manufac
tures and the extent of this prosperity to
all branches of manufacturing lines Is
Illustrated by a table just compiled by
the Treasury Bureau of Statistics, which
shows the exports, article by article, of
all the leading manufactures which have
been sent abroad during the calendar
year 1900. and comparing: the figures of
that year with two preceolng years. In a
list of 40 articles, 32 show an Increase in
1600 as compared with 1S39. and In nearly
all of the eight cases where a decrease Is
shown the conditions are exceptional. In
manufactures of cotton, for Instance,
there is a drop In exports of about J4.O00
000, but this Is due chiefly to the war con
ditions in China, which Is now our largest
purchaser of cotton goods. In bicycles
there Is a fall of $1,500,000, b.ut this Is due
to the general subsidence In bicycle popu
larity the world over. In the exportation
of malt liquors there Is a slight decrease,
also In starch, marble, soaps and fertili
zers. In all the other cases In the 40
principal classes of exportatlons of manu
factures an increase is shown, and In
many cases a large Increase. Iron and
steel, for Instance, show an increase of
over $25,000,000 as compared with the pre
ceding year 1699, and over $45,000,000 as
compared with 1S9S; mineral oils show an
Increase of about $7,000,000 over 1S99; cop
per, an Increase of $14,000,000; agricul
tural Implements, $2,500,000; cotton seed
oil, which Is officially classified under ag
ricultural products and not among manu
factures, shows an increase of $2,500,000;
chemicals, $2,000,000; and wood manufac
tures, paraftlne, scientific Instruments,
paper and manufactures of, and cars for
steam railways show an Increase of over
a million dollars each.

GETTING EXHIBIT READY.
Xo Time Lot In Preparing- for the
Buffalo Fair.
Oregon's exhibit at the Pan-American
exposition Is being prepared by H. E.
Dosch, who will have charge of it while
at Buffalo. He Is having the shelving and
various partitions needed manufactured
In Portland, as this can be done Better
and cheaper here than In New York State.
The fixtures will be ready for shipment
by the 15th Inst., when seven or eight car
loads of exhibits will be sent forward as
a starter. The Exposition opens May 1,
and Mr. Dosh hopes to have Oregon's ex
hibit In readiness by that time, so that
the very first visitors to the building will
be enabled to judge of Oregon's varied
and extensive resources.
"There will be grains and grasses from
Oregon In the highest perfection," Mr.
Dosch said yesterday, "and there will
be an Immense display of fruits In pre
serve Jars, showing Its original size and
color, but not the taste, as the fruit will
be put up In fluid that destroys Its .nour
ishing qualities, and renders Its use
dangerous for the stomach.
"Their will be grains In all their plump
ness, and flour made by the various proc
cesses, and the many varieties of break
fast foods, meal, etc, will have a con
spicuous place.
"There will be rich ore from Eastern
and Southern Oregon, to show that this
is a mineral, as -well as an agricultural
and live stock and fishery state, and the
lumber exhibit will be extensive and
unique, as the big sawmills of Portland
will vie with each other In showing East
ern people how large the trees grow and
how many varieties of useful woods there
are growing wild out here.
"Woolen goods, blankets and fabrics
will also be in the collection, from the
woolen mills of the Interior, where prod
ucts already And extensive sale In ev
ery state cast of the Mississippi River.
Wool will be exhibited In all stages, from
the greasy fleece to the finished cloth.
"The forestry exhibit will contain Ore
gon trees and undergrowth, in their nat
ural state, and the evergreen nature of
the forest of the Pacific Coast will there
by be shown.
"We have over 10,000 square feet of
floor space, distributed among the build
ings devoted to agriculture, horticulture,
forestry, minings and the flne arts, and
the collection In the last mentioned build
ing will prove that Oregon people are not
unmindful of the arts and sciences, while
reveling In the plentltude of nover-falllng
crops, pleasant Summers and mild
Winters. I am confident that the state
will more than get Its $25,000 appropriation
back within a short time, as a result of
advertising its peerless resources at
Buffalo this Summer."
HIGH SCHOOL SOCIETIES WAR
Negotiations for Debate Ended by
Scathing: Resolutions.
The Phllolexlan and To-Logelon debat
ing societies of the High school have put
on war paint and dug up the tomahawk,
and the next few days may witness some
lively encounters. Indeed the embrogllo
has already been put In motion by a set
of resolutions passed by the Phllolexians
March L In which the good faith of the
To-Logelons is questioned.
All this trouble arose over a challenge
the young men sent to the young women
to meet them In debate on the question of
the construction of the Nicaragua canal.
A debate between the two societies has
been contemplated for some time, and the
young men suggested this subject, with
the understanding the young women
should choose the side they desired to
uphold. A committee was appointed to
confer with the young women and to ar
range for the debate. The Phllolexians
declined to discuss the digging of the
canal, and suggested another subject. The
committee promptly accepted the change,
and. returning to the To-Logelons,
reported what they had done. The To
Logeions discredited the action of their
committee, and declared that If It had not
been given authority to make any differ
ent arrangement for the debate. This
aroused no little Indignation among the
members of the Phllolexians. Calling to
their aid their most sarcastic writer they
prepared long preambles and resolutions,
fitting the dignity of the occasion. In the
"whereases' and "inasmuches" it set out
that the To-Logeions had refused to abide
by their own agreement, and their ac
tion is characterized .as ''a palpable at
tempt to evade the question at issue."
These resolutions follow:
"Resolved, That the Phllolexlan society,
out of deference to tho evident desire of
theTo-Logelon soclety.declined to consider
further the Idea of a debute, until some
future and more fittlns time; and also
be It
"Resolved, That in order to avoid a
misunderstanding In the future, the Tc
Logeion Society be requested to furnish
its committees, appointed to treat with
this society, with credentials properly
certified, that this society may not again
waste Its time treating with irresponsible
committees."
When the resolutions were received at
the camp of the To-Logelons, tied up with
a bundle of arrows, the sachem Imme
diately called a council of the "skookum
men." There was a long and excited
"pow wow," and it was resolved to send
back to the teepee of the Phllolexians a
"defl" done up with powder and bullet,
I by the swiftest runner. It will reach their
. camp this week. And then .
'
. WOMAN'S INFLUENCE NEEDED
' Reasons Why Mrs. Sltton Should Be
i' Elected School Director.
PORTLAND, March 4. (To the Editor.)
t When Mrs. Grace Watt Ross, speaking
i In behalf of the Woman's Club, makes tha
' statement that the club did not indorse
Mrs. Sltton as a candidate for School Di
rector, "because she is a woman," she
gives a rude shock to the voters who had
expected to support her.
' If the Woman's Club Is going Into poll
tics with the same old plea for their can
! didate, "that they believe her faithful
and honest," and all the other attributes
ascribed to every other candidate that
I ever entered the political arena, then we
' might ask. Why make a change? Does
not Mr. Warren possess all of there?
When the word went, forth that the
I Woman's Club was going to enter a wom
an candidate for School Director a very
popular chord had been struck, and we
hoped the canvass would be made wholly
and solely on the ground that the aspirant

for the office' , was !a ' womanly woman,
which would Imply hnt' she.was faithful,
efficient and capablef but It would Imply
more. It would'mealf 'that toie large ma
jority of teachers -wiruld be represented on
their governing boanf by one of their own
sex, one who could sympathize with their
weakness and appreciate their strength
and be a friend at the bar In the hour of
need. To the girl pupils it would mean a
sympathetlcwoman, moving among them,
upon occasions, to -whom they could un
burden their hearts, confide their school
girl wrongs and Injustices and feel she
had authority to act In their behalf. But
above all. does the thought of a woman
on the School Board appeal to mothers.
The home and the school are so closely
connected that the mother who thinks se
riously on the subject, must be loth to
have her children spend the greater part
of their waking hours In Institutions
where the gentle Influence of women en
ters not Into Its government, and Is en
tirely subject to men whose redeeming
qualification is "they are successful and
representative business men,"
It Is quite necessary to have such to
direct and control Its business, as th6 fa
ther takes charge of the finances of the
family, but It is Just ns necessary to have
a woman to look after the bodiiy com
forts, the sanitation and th morals of a
school as to have the mother In like ca
pacity In the home.
We know some men who look upon the
women of their own families as necessary
evils, and It is Just possible our present
School Board entertain some such opin
ion in regard to a woman In their midst,
and will fight this imaginary evil, but
they must admit the necessity of It if they
wish to have a well-regulated family. And
so let us, In spite qf the protest from
the Woman's Club, put Mrs. Sltton on the
School Board because she is a woman, and
because the vote and voice and protest of
a woman should be heard In all deliber
ations where women and children are con
cerned, and let us proclaim from the
housetops that we Intend to vote for her,
because she is a woman.

They Want a Market Place.
At the last meeting of the Evening Star
Grange, which usually meets in Independ
ence Hall, on the Section Line road, it
was decided to protest against the use
of the old Exposition ground in Portland,
owned by the city, for any other purpose
than for a public market. The grange
appointed a committee to Interview Mayor
Rowe, and express to him the views of the
farmers on the subject. Yesterday the
committee met the Mayor and had a long
consultation with him over the conversion
of the block Into a market place for farm
ers. It was urged by "the committee that
the farmers who bring berries, fruit and
other produce to Portland from the out
side have no general marketing place, and
have to stand on the streets with their
wagons. They urged that this block was
suitable for a market place, and would
be more useful for that purpose than for
any other. The building now standing on
the block would have to be removed, said
a member of the committee, and the block
simply planked for tho present. It would
then afford a very good marketing place,
where all the wagons from the country
could gather, instead of standing on. the
streets. It would be known where they
were to be found by the public, and would
be a great convenience. The committee was
cordially received by Mayor Rowe, and he
seemed to sympathise with their views of
the disposition of the block.

STILL THE CHARTER BILL.
Representative Nottingham Defends
His Position In the Matter.
PORTLAND, March 4. (To the Editor.)
I note In today's paper that "Taxpayer"
is criticising my statement in regard to
the June election. He says that the elec
tion of the Mayor and Common Council
was an indorsement of the charter. If
this be true, he should say that the elec
tion of Governor Geer was an indorse
ment of the constitution of the state of
Oregon, or that the election of McKIn
ley was an Indorsement of the Constitu
tion of the United States. I cannot under
stand such reasoning as this. How the
election of an administrative officer could
affect the organic law is beyond my com
prehension. "Taxpayer" had better
scratch his head. He says that the prin
cipal object was to change our present
efficient Fire and Police Departments, and
turn them over to Incompetent people.
Our first selections for the Police and Fire
Departments were C. E. S. Wood and W.
E. Robertson, both of whom refused to
serve. We then selected men of equal
ability and good standing, who have Just
as much interest In the city as "Tax
payer" doubtless has; and when He talks
about the risks he Is simply drawing on
his imagination.
With regard to the omission in the light
ing plant that was in the charter, will
say that as soon as our attention was
called to the matter we had It replaced.
There was no Intention on the part of any
member of the delegation to do what the
gentleman accuses us of doing, and we
know the people do not think there was
any such intention on our part.
The city cHarter, If It had not been
vetoed, would have saved the city over
$25,000 per annum, and we would have had
the system of the. city so regulated In
caring for the streets that they would not
have been a disgrace to us. as they are
at present, and as they always will be
under our present system of property-owners
keeping the streets in repair. This
matter was thoroughly discussed before
we went to Salem, and even the heavy
taxpayers of the city agreed with us that
we should put this in our charter.
"Taxpayer," at the close of his article,
again reiterates the foolish statement
that the election of the Mayor was an
Indorsement of the charter. We contend
that we were elected in the interests of
economy, both in city and county. We
have fulfilled every pledge made to the
people; we have reduced county expenses
fully $100,000 per annum, when the laws
passed by us go Into effect, and would
have saved the city $25,000 more If the
Governor had not vetoed our charter. Be
sides, we would have had. decent streets.
We could have sent monster petitions to
the Governor, but understood from those
very close to him. Just a few hours before
his veto, that he had said emphatically
that the Portland charter was a purely
local matter, and that the question of our
having a right to make such a charter was
settled at tho election last June, and fur
ther settled by an overwhelming vote In
the Legislature, and for these reasons he
would not interfere. But something
caused him to change his mind very sud
denly. C. W. NOTTINGHAM.

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH
A Pleasant, Simple, but Safe and
Effectual Cure for It.
Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual symptoms are a full or bloat
ing sensation after eating, accompanied
sometimes with sour or watery risings a
formation of gases, causing pressure on
the heart and lungs and difficult breath
ing, headaches, fickle appetite, nervous
ness and a general played out. languid
feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the mouth
coated tongue and if the interior of the
stomach could be seen It would show 1
slimy. Inflamed condition.
The cure for this common and obstinate
trouble is found In a treatment which
causes the food to be readily and thor
oughly digested before It has time to fer
ment and irritate the delicate mucous sur
faces of the stomach. To secure a prompt
and healthy digestion Is the one neces
sary thing to do and when normal di
gestion is secured the catarrhal condition
will have disappeared.
According to Dr. Harlanson the safest
and Dest treatment is to use after each
meal a tablet, composed of diastase
aspetlc pepsin, a little nux. golden seal
and fruit adds. These tablets can now be
found at all drug stores under the name
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and, not be
ing a patent medicine, can be used with
perfect safety and assurance that healthy
appetite and thorough digestion will fol
low their regular use after meals.
Mr. N. J. Booher, Chicago. 111., writes
"Catarrh is a local condition, resulting
from a neglected ccld In the head, where
by the lining membrane of the nose be
comes inflamed and the poisonous dis
charge therefrom pasbing backward Into
the throat reaches the stomach, thus pro
ducing catarrh of the stomach. Medical
authorities prescribed for me for three
years for catarrh of the stomach without
cure, but today I am the happiest of
men after using only one box of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. I cannot find appro
priate words to express my good feeling.
I have found flesh, appetite and sound
rest from their use."
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest
preparation as well as the simplest and
most convenient remedy for any form of
indigestion, catarrh of stomach, bilious
ness, sour stomach, heartburn and bloat
ing after meals.
