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.

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

NOT USED AS A WITNESS
OXE OF TOM COXN ELL'S MEN MAKES
AFFIDAVIT.
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.

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.

nance was brought by the local street-car

Alleged ICIdnaper Talks.
OMAHA, Neb., March 11. 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."

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-

What suffering frequently results
from a mother's ignorance; or more
frequently from a mother's neglect to
properly instruct her daughter I
Tradition says "woman must suf
fer," and young women are so taught.
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.
