10 THE MOKJN'ING OKEGOINIAX, TUESDAY, MARCH 12, 1901. OTTO DOMING NORTH Disabled German Ship Head ed for San Francisco. OVERDUES POSTED AS MISSING Cape AVrnth, Andrncla and Bertha Glten Up Almond Brnneh Com plete" Her Cargo Grain Fleet Moving Lumber Ships. The German ship Otto Gildemlster left San Diego for San Francisco Sunday In tow of the tug Defiance, and has probably reached the California port by this time. According to California papers, the hull of the vessel Is comparatively uninjured, and It may not be necessary to put the vessel In the drydock to repair her. An agent of the underwriter Is on the way out from Bremen to examine the vessel, and no action will be taken in the matter until his arrival in San Francisco. The damage to the rigging is quite serious, and it will probably be nearly two months after the arrival of the agent before she is ready to resume her journey to this port. It Is now almost a certainty that the Gildemlster Is the only one of the quartette of overdues on which SO per cent reinsurance was paid, .that will ever be heard from. The Anrdada, Bertha and Cape Wrath have all been posted as "mlsMng" and when a vessel Is long enough overdue to have that fatal word placed beside them, hope is generally abandoned. The underwriters have become so timid in the face of such losses that they have suffered, that they are now oftVrlng reinsurance on a number of vessels that left the Columbia River about the time the heavy gale was playing havoc with the .Bertha, Carl and Cromartyshire. As yet the rates on these ships have not got above 8 and 10 per cent, but they are ad vancing as the vessels are becoming due. ALMOXD BRANCH FINISHED. Bis "VVhalebnck "Will Sail Thin Morn inff for Shanghai. The big whuleback steamship Almond Branch, which has made the Portland water front a very interesting place for the past month, finished loading last evening and will leave down the river this morninng. She has on board 2.C94, 745 feet of lumber, which is a pretty big cargo for a ship of her tonnage. She goes to Shanghai direct, and her berth at the North ..Pacific mills will be filled today by the British steamship Goodwin, which arrived up from Astoria last even ing. The Goodwin is the big steamer which went ashore at Brown's Point, just outside of Tacoma harbor about a year ago, and narrowly escaped going to pieces before she was lightered sufficient ly to enable the tugs to pull her back into the channel. Portland has handled a great many larger steamers than the Goodwin, and there Is not much possi bility of an accident of this kind happen ing In this port. GRAIN FLEET MOVING. Illver Tovrboatu Kept Bny "With. Ship Coining and Going. The grain fleet arriving and departing during the past week has kept the tow boats of the O. R. & N. Co. quite busy. The Ocklahama arrived up Sunday with the German bark Arthur Fltger. and the Harvest Queen arrived up yesterday with the British ship County of Linlithgow. She also brought up the Swedish ship Thassalus, which Is under charter for lumber loading. The Khyber was taken acrosr the bay at Astoria by a tug last Friday, but when the Ocklahama came along with the Arthur Fitger intending to pick her up, and proceed with a odublc tow. the wind was blowing so hard that she could not be handled. The Ocklahama then came up with a single ship and left down again yesterday morn ing with the Marie Hackfleld. On arrival at Astoria she will start up with the Xybcr and the schooner J. M. Weather wax, both of which are now anchored at Brookfield. The Ben Dearg leaves down In the morning. BIG LUMBER FLEET. British Columbia Mill Have Many hliips Under Charter to Load. The big lumber mills In British Colum bia take up more tonnage In the course of a year than is used in the grain busi ness, and among the fleets that are load ing at the Canadian mills can always be found some essels that have figured with the Portland grain fleet In former years Among the recent charters re ported by the Victoria Colonist for Has tings mills, at Vancouver, are those of the Antuco, which left Santa Rosalia for the Royal Roads about the end of Feb ruary; and the Fantlsa, which left New castle for Honolulu with coal on De cember 9, and which is to come here in ballast from the Islands. The German bark Anna, coming from Callao, has also been chartered; and the Benjamin Sew cll. which was driven ashore during the November typhoons which caused such great loss of life and shipping at Hong kong, is coming from that port to load lumber. The Falls of Garry arrived a few days ago to load at the mills. The Prince Victor has Just loaded a cargo at the Vancouver mills, and the Prince Albert, from Honolulu, has gone up there to load. At Moodyvllle, the Alexander Gibson loaded during the month a cargo af 1.C05, B95 feet for Capetown; and the Palatinla. a big British steamer, is loading cargo. At Chemalnus the Dundee and Senator axe loading. Mail Packet Ashore. SOUTHAMPTON. March 11. The Brit ish steamer KImfouns Castle, belonging to the Castle Mail Packet Company, of Lon don, from Table Bay. Cape Colony, Feb ruary 21. for Southampton, with Cape mails and passengers, is ashore off the Needles. She is being assisted by tugs. SOUTHAMPTON. March 11. The Kin fauns Castle went ashore yesterday after noon. Her position is not dangerous, and the passengers and mall were still on board at midnight. It was hoped that she may be floated today (Tuesday). Xew Season Salmon Fleet. The British ship Crown of India which Is now loading at London for British Co lumbia ports, has been chartered to load salmon on the Fraser and at Victoria for Europe at 41s 3d. This is the same rate t which the Red Rock was chartered and nakes a tctal of five ships already taken for 1901 pack salmon, the others being the Ballaschulllsh at 39s 3d. County of Caith ess at 40s and Havlla at -40s. Linlithgow's Anchor Recovered. ASTORIA. Or., March 11. The anchor andchain which were recently lost In the lower harbor by the British ship County of Linlithgow were recovered today by the wrecking steamer O.

Sensational Statement Comes Ont in an Argument Oi cr Costs In In surance Company's Suit. A sensational affidavit was read yester day in Judge George's court, at the argu ment of a motion to retax costs In the suit of the Hartford Fire Insurance Com pany against Thomas Connell. The costs were placed at $240, and the. plaintiff ob jected to the amount. Sanderson Reed, plaintiffs counsel, contended that H. E. Marshall, subpenaed by the defense as a witness, was not brought here as a wit ness but simply ;o look after another wit ness named William Zcna. to see that he kept straight. Mr. Reed objected to the payment of Marshall's fees, which were large, and said Marshall was not a necessary witness and did not testify in the case. To prove this assertion he produced Marshall's affidavit signed in the presence of William La Force as no tary. In it Marshall asserted that he was subpenaed as witness for the de fease, but was not called upon to give any evidence, only to look after "William Zcna, and keep him from getting drunk. !: rV r . -,- -zvw:s& h - &- . - - ... i THE LATE MRS. He further alleges that Connell wrote out his testimony and wanted him to sign the paper, but that he refused to do so. The most sensational portion of his affidavit was where he stated that he acted as a go-between for Connell and F. B. Clark, the man who testified In the criminal trial In the State of Washington against Connell, but failed to appear for the civil action. Marshall declared on his oath that he saw Clark In regard to his leav inng, and the latter sent a verbal mes sage to Connell to the effect that he would leave the vicinity and not appear at the trial if Connell would give him $200. Mr. Reed also held that fees should not be pRld the witnesses for four days, and further that they had been paid double mileage where they should have had only single mileage. In response to this, Mr. Chamberlain contended that where double mileage had been allowed It was proper, according to the statute, and that Marshall was called as a witness because It was believed he would be need to dispute certain evi dence it was thought the plaintiff would have. As this latter evidence was not forthcoming, Marshall was not called to the stand. Concerning the statement that Clark had offered to leave if ?300 were handed him, Mr. Chamberlain declared that Connnell had no dealings with Clark and Marshall had not been authorized to make any deal; that if Clark had pro posed such a bargain it was on his own side and a voluntary proposition. Judge George then tooke the matter under ad visement and will announce his decision in the near future. Decisions Today. Judge Cleland will announce decisions this morning at 9:30 o'clock in the follow ing cases: D.- M. McLauchlan vs. Phoebe E. Gage et al., demurrer to complaint. F. E. Dell vs. Matilda Z. Carbaugh et al., on merits. "W. A. Blake vs. James Newiands et al., on merits. Court Notes. Sarah C. Cary. of Lafayette, housekeep er, yesterday filed a petition in bankrupt cy in the United States Court. Her liabil ities are in the form of a deficiency judg ment due to persons In a number of East ern states, amounting to $S300. Her assets consist of wearing apparel valued at $50. SMELTER TRUST CASE. Vice-Chancellor Stevens Refuses to Issue a Permanent Injunction. JERSEY CITY. N. J.. March 11. In chancery chambers today, Vice-Chancellor Stevens denied the . application to make permanent the Injunction restrain ing the stockholders of the American Smelting & Refining Company from in creasing the capital stock of that com pany from $G5,000,000 to 5100.000.000 and re straining the directors from purchasing the plant of M. Guggenheim Sons, in Mexico. The Chancellor in his opinion said that the courts could act only where there was a question of fraud. It did not come with in the jurisdiction of the court, the Chan cellor said, who questioned the wisdom of the directors' actions. The Vice-Chancellor read his decision. The main point dis. cussed by him was whether the Guggen heim property was worth the price It was proposed to pay for it. The Vice-Chancellor concluded that nothing had been shown that would warrant the issue of a permanent injunction restraining the American Smelting & Refining Company from purchasing the property. He said the petitioners, in putting a value on the Guggenheim interests, had failed to take into consideration the good will and busi ness of the firm. He could not see that the directors of the American Company had disregarded the law in any manner. The action was brought by the holders of oVer 2T.O00 shares of stock. The peti tioners were AVIHIam A. Donald, Stephen V. White, Abraham Snrtorlus and Henry A. Seamans. of New York, and John W. Gordon and William B. Curtiss, of South Orange. The price which it was proposed to pay for the Guggenheim interests was $47,000,000. while the petitioners claimed that those Interests were worth not more than 522,000.000. Richard V. Llndabury, for , i the petitioners, announced that the case would be taken to the Court of Errors and Appeals. Three-Cent Fare Law Invalid. CLEVELAND, O.. March 11. A decision by Judge Ricks, of the United States Dis trict Court, was handed down today de claring unconstitutional the 3-cent fare ordinance passed by the City Council two years ago. The Judge maintained that the ordinance interferred with existing con tracts. The suit to restrain the qlty from carrying Into effect the terms of the ordi nance was brought by the local street-car companies. Director of Law Hogsette states that the suit will be carried to the higher couns. THE DAY'S RACES. "Winners at Oakland. SAN FRANCISCO. March 11. Weather fine at Oakland, track sloppy.

James Calla han talked freely today, for the first time, of the Cudahy kidnaping, and admitted he knew Pat Crowe well, but says he does not know the Cudahys. Callahan denied being with Pat Crowe when he bought the horse which figured In the kidnaping from Daniel Harris. "They arrested me because it had come to a show-down and the police had to do something," said Callahan. "There had been so much talk that they felt that they had to do something, and I happened to be the victim. Now they will go ahead and try to put it on me, just to secure the reward; but if I am given n chance to get at my testimony, I will come out and show I am as 'nnocent as any man living. As I have said before, the police don't want Crowe. They want to wait until they have tried me. Then if I am convicted, they will 6till let Pat Crowe alone. I think that If I am acquitted I Crowe will come in, as he will have noth ing to fear." Switchmen's Secretary Arrested. BUFFALO, N. Y., March 11.-J. L.

Welch, of Omaha, of the Board of Directors, has been Investigating the matter, said today that it had been learned that the total shortage of Tipton was $2639. He added that the order was fully protected. (WASHINGTON MEN'S WORK CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATIONS LA BORS AT LAST SESSION. Funds Secured for Alaska-Puget Sound Cable Assisted in Raisins: Arid Land Appropriation. WASHINGTON, March 7. Congressman Jones today made the following state ment regarding the labors of the Wash ington, delegation during the Fifty-sixth Congress: "I wish to say. with reference to my first term in Congress, that It has been two years of hard work. The man who thinks a Congressman from Washington has nothing to do has no conception of the duties of that office. Of course, 1 cannot give you any Idea of the charac ter and amount of work we have done aside from matters of legislation. Thou sands of letters have been answered, ask ing for all sorts of information and all kinds of things. Numberless visits have been made to the various departments relative to matters of Interest to our con stituents. In connection with matters of legislation, It must be remembered that the Republican members of the Washing ton delegation were new hands. We be lieve, however, we have the right to feel that we accomplished something for our state and constituency. The following are most of the matters of legislation of espe cial interest to our state: "We succeeded In getting passed about 30 bills of various kinds. Several were of a private character, such as pension bills, and bills securing American regis try for ships engaged In the Pacific trade. We were particularly fortunate in these matters, and, while generally opposed to the admission of forelgn-bullt ships to American registry, realized the needs and necessities of the Pacific Coast trade, and were glad to be able to supply some of the deficiencies In our shipping. "We secured tho passage of a bill giv ing to Everett the privileges of the im mediate transportation act. The law relative to cutting timber upon mining land for domestic, agricultural and min ing purposes was extended to California, Oregon and "Washington by a special bill which I had the pleasure of passing through the House. I fathered a bill to extend the provision of the homestead law to soldiers who served In the Span ish War and Philippine insurrection. The measure passed the House. It went to the Senate and passed with amendments, which were settled In conference, and is now a law. It provides that the home stead laws are extended to soldiers, sail ors and marines who served 90 days in the Spanish War, and who have served or shall serve 90 days in the Philippine insurrection, and shall have been honor ably discharged. It further provides Vhat in case any settler upon lands under the homestead laws who enlisted in this war and Insurrection, and was killed or died while In the service, his widow, or In case there Is no wdow, his heirs, their heirs, or legal representatives, may prove up on the land, his death being deemed full compliance with the laws relative to homesteads. Alaska-Pasret Sound Cable. "We secured an appropriation for be ginning a cable between Alaska and Pu get Sound, and the War Department has ordered the laying of such cable from Skagway to Juneau. We are satisfied it will not be long before It Is laid the en tire distance. Three hundred thousand dollars were secured for the location and construction of lighthouses and signal sta tions In Alaska; $100,000 last session and $200,000 this session. An appropriation of $40 000 for a boarding boat at Port Town send was put through the House, but the provision was changed in the Senate to provide for the stationing at that point of one of the available vessels of the Navy. Appropriations were made for two lighthouses in Washington, amount ing to about $1S,000. Twelve thousand dollars were appropriated for the removal and reconstruction of the lighthouse buld lng and reconstruction of the lighthouse buildings at Admiralty Head. Twenty thousand dollars were appropriated for the completion of a lighthouse tender for our lighthouse district. "Provision was made relative to the military post at Spokane by which the balance of the "special appropriation here tofore mnde becomes available. Author ity was given to the Secretary of War to use such additional amount out of the general appropriation for military posts as in his judgment is necessary to com plete that station. "Appropriations for continuing the work at Gray's Harbor and at Everett were provided for, Everett receiving $90,000 and Gray's Harbor $13S,225. Over $600,000 was appropriated at the two sessions of Con gress for new Improvements at the Port Orchard navy-yard. The committee is fa vorably Impressed with the advantages of this site, and has promised to make us a visit some time this Summer and look It over. The prospects are good for mak ing this one of the greatest navy-yards of the country. "Twenty thousand dollars was appropri ated for a cable from the mainland to Tataoosh Island, at the mouth of the Straits of Fuca; $5000 for "Weather Bureau buildings, $3000 for Weather Bureau build ings at Port Crescent, near Tatoosh Island, and $4000 for a Weather Bureau 'iilldlng at Fort Canby, on the Columbia River. Seattle Public Building. "The limit of cost for the public build ing at Seattle was Increased from $300,000 to $750,000. About $100,000 was appropri ated for running the assay office, and gen eral appropriations were secured for the military post and fortifications. A spe cial appropriation was made for the In dian School at Puyallup. and for increas ing the capacity of the school from 200 to 300. For this $50,000 was appropriated; also $20,000 for securing additional facili ties. The appropriation for the Yakima Indians was restored to $S0Q0. it having been Inadvertently reduced last session to $:ooo. "While the river and harbor bill did not become a law, I feel that I ousht to state just what provision was made in it for Washington. We spent a great deal of time and work in getting Washington im provements before the committee, and the amounts carried by the bill were accepted by both Houses. Fifty thousand dollars was appropriated for Improving the har. bor at Tacoma, and contracts authorized aggregating $252,657. Twenty-five thou sand dollars was appropriated for the completion of the work at Olympia; $40,000 for beginning the Improvement at New Whatcom; $30,000 for the Improvement of the Inner harbor at Gray's Harbor; $18,000 for the Improvement of the Columbia River between Vancouver and the mouth of the Willamette: $15,000 for P.uget Sound and Its tributa'ry waters, $10,000 of which was to be used direct in removing the log jam from the Nooksack River; $20,000 for continuing the improve ment of Swinomish Slough; $5000 for the Chchalis River, Including the removal of snags from the Inner harbor; $15,000 for the completion of the work on the Oka nogan River; $10,000 for continuing th work on the Pend d'Orellle; $2000 for the Cowlitz River; $10,600 for the Lewis River, and $5000 for the north fork of the Lewis River. "The river and harbor committee has promised to visit the Pacific Coast this Summer, and 'expects to reach Washing ton about the last of June. It will be there for several days, and expects to look over all Improvements. The chairman of the committee, T. E. Burton, Is espe cially desirous of Investigating the canal between Lakes Union and "Washington, and also Neah Bay, with a view of es tablishing there a harbor of refuge. "Water Supply for Arid Lands. "We also assisted at the last session In raising the amount of the appropria tion to be expended in arid and semi-arid regions in Investigating water and water supply, reservoir sites, etc., to 5100.0O0. An 'equal amount was appropriated for this purpose at this session. The matter of reclaiming the arid lands received more attention this last Congress than at any other time. Many bills were Introduced, and a bill was reported from the arid lands committee, and another prepared by a subcommittee, of which I was a member, waa reported from the public lands committee. This is a most impor tant question, and one upon which the members from the East are very much misinformed. There are also many diffi culties in working out the details of such a bill. One question Involved is just how far the Federal Government can go under the Constitution. The people of the East and the members of Congress from that section are awakening to the fact that something will have to be done In this direction In the near future. "We gavo the matter of selections of lands In lieu of lands included within for est reserves a great deal of attention, and had much to do with securing provis ion in the sundry civil appropriation bill at the last session restricting the selection of lieu lands to surveyed lands. We gave a great deal of attention to forest reserves, and especially to applications and peti tions looking to the elimination of lands from existing reserves. We have this matter now before the Secretary of the Interior upon applications from various parts of the state, especially from the Methow and Wenatchee Valleys, Chehalls, Jefferson and Clallam Counties and the Stehekln River. Olympic Reserve Reduced. "We secured the elimination of about 300,000 acres from the Olympic reserve, and are hopeful of increasing this area. We are pressing provisions looking to the compensation of settlers whose lands have been included within forest reserves, for their improvements, but have not yet been able to secure their passage. It was found that the free-homes bill did not apply to the north half of the CoKille Indian reserve, and I Introduced a bill at this session extending the provisions of the homestead laws to these lands. This bill was favorably and unanlmously reported by the committee on public lands, but on account of the shortness of the session failed to pass. This Is one of the matters I shall especially press at the next session of Congress, and have no doubt but that I will be able to set the bill passed before It comes time for these settlers to make the first payment upon their lands. "I would like to add that, although Sen ator Turner may differ from the rest of the delegation in politics, in all these matters he has given the most loyal and valuable support and co-operation." GERMAN EXPANSIONISTS. They Settle South America and De spise the Monroe Doctrine. PORTLAND, Or., March 11. (To the Editor.) The German is going Into the jungles in the southern republics and making prosperous homes. He often mar ries a native, raises a large family and becomes a person of some Importance kind of local King. He makes a good superintendent or boss and is in de mand. I know one who got $5000 a year to superintend the coffee farms for a Ger man syndicate. Another made $75,000 overseeing Minor C. Keith's banana farms, and then returned to his Father land. I was told, but do not know whether it was true, that 95.C00 Germans went into Brazil in one year. A Dutch company pays all the expenses of the government In Java, supports the priesthood and takes out $14,000,000 an nually, made in coffee. They will yet attempt to drive their whole rig through the Monroe doctrine for which they have a contempt. The early Roman 'Writers said: "The barba rians of Germany live In the forest and fens of Germany. A native, free from foreign intermixture, with fierce blue eyes and of great height. Warlike, but honest, and would rather give up life than liberty." During the first 10 years of the Chris tian era they were driving the Roman legions across the Rhine. They pressed Rome until she built the famous wall to hold them back. .But at the beginning of the fifth cntury the bar barians assailed her on all sides until her power was crushea. Thus occurred that great event known In history as tho migration of the nations. Innumerable hosts spread themselves from the north and east ail over Europe, subduing everything in their course. Charlemange af terwards waged a 30-years war against barbarian Saxon and others to compel them toaccept Christianity, dur ing which war blood flowed in torrents. They will not down at anybody's bidding. During the ages they have defended na ture and nature's laws against conven tional and artificial superstitions. I am glad that I have sprung from these bar barians and not from tho paganized Latin races. I love their pure blood, their phil osophy and their Independent thought. Our ancestors are at the door. With them we will have our next war, over the doubtful Monroe doctrine. C. BEAL. SUCCESSOR TO GRIGGS. President Not Ready to Name Him Spooner One of Possibilities. "WASHINGTON. D. C. March 1L Some little surprise was manifested In certain quarters when the President sent to the Senate the name of John W. Griggs as Attorney-General under the new Administration. It has been gener ally understood for several months past that Mr. Griggs would retire at the close of the last Administration, and that some other party would be assigned to his po sition when the new Cabinet was named. Many of the Eastern papers went so far as to predict who the new Attorney-General would be. It was learned, however, when the matter was looked into, that Mr. Griggs had not changed his mind, and was renominated only because the President was not quite ready to name his succes- LASTS except merit Thli medicine, with Its record of absolute succtJJ. his lived for years, and is worthy to live.

There is a little truth and a great deal of exaggeration in this. If a young woman suffers severely she needs treat ment, and her mother should see that she gets it. Many mothers hesitate to take their daughters to a physician for examina tion : but no mother need hesitate to write freely about her daughter or herself to Mrs. Pinkham's Laboratory at Lynn, Mass., and secure from a woman the most efficient advice with out charge. Mrs, August Pfalzgraf, of South Byron, "Wis., mother of the young lady whose portrait we here publish, wrote in January, 1899, saying her daughter had suffered for two years with irreg ular menstruation had headache all the time, and pain in her side, feet swelled, and was generally miserable. She received an answer promptly with advice, and under date of March, 1S99, the mother writes again that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound cured her daughter of all pains and irregu larity. Nothing in the world equals Lydia E Pinkham's great medicine- for regu lating woman's peculiar monthly troubles. sor. It is now tho understanding that ho will serve for a few more weeks, when he will resign, and a new man will be appointed. He did not desire the reap pointment, but consented to serve, mere ly to give the President further time in which to make a wise selection from among the many candidates. There is at this time no definite Information upon which to base a prohpecy as to who the President will select, but it is understood that Senator Spooner, of Wisconsin, is one of tfie possibilities, and everyone recognizes his ability. Senator Spooner has two years more to serve in the Sen ate, and may be induced to terminate his Senatorial career now In order to round out hjs public career at the head of the Department of Justice. He has several times announced that he will not again be a candidate for the Senate. No. HARDMAN, Or., March 10. (To the Editor.) Did the anti-cigarette bill pass the last Legislature?
