10 THE MOTiNTNO GREGORIAN. SATURDAY, MARCH 16, 1901. BLSTEAIMI FLEET Many Vessels Leave Puget ;?Sound for Portland. FIVE .SIX-THOUSAND TONNEBS Remarkable ShoiTliigr for the Paiit "stx Weeks Kintnck Is. Dae This Mornlnjc Xoveniber Grain Ships Arrive. The China Mutual liner KIntuck, at present In -the service of the Government, sailed from Seattle at 10:20 o'clock yes terday morning:, and Is due at the mouth of -.the river this morning. The KIntuck Is the fifth COOO-ton steamship to come around from Puget Sound to Portland for cargo within the past six weeks. This is probably the highest tribute that could be paid to Portland as a desirable point for ships to secure cargoes. The first of the five mentioned was the British steam ship Strathgjie, which secured about a third of a cargo at Tacoma, and was forced to come around to Portland to se cure the remainder. Following the Strath gyle came the Dutch steamship Wilhel rnlna. This steamer was chartered at ex actly the same rate to load at Tacoma or Portland, but on account of the quicker dispatch and cheaper port expenses, fcteamed an additional 300 miles In order to load here. The third steamer was the Almond Branch, which came around In balast to load a 3,000,000-feet cargo of lumber. The fourth steamer to come around In ballast from Puget Sound In quest of a, cargo was the British steamship Good wln. which Is now loading at the North Pacific mills In this city. The KIntuck, while of smaller net registered tonnage than the mammoth Strathgyle, Is about 230 tons net register larger than the TV11 helmlna, which carried away a cargo of 6446 tons of wheat, in addition to 1000 tons of bunker coal. NOMIA ARRIVES OUT. Vessel Chnrtered for January, 1002, Loading?, Jest Reaches Europe. Two more of the November grain ships -which left here with the big fleet which got away early In November, arrived out at Queenstown yesterday with passages which were very close to those made by the two reported Wednesday. The Kil mory. which left the Columbia the same day as the Slrlus, arrived out yesterday after an average passage of 130 days from the Columbia. The Kllmory was gener ally regarded as the fastest of the fleet which left at that time, but failed to maintain her reputation. The German ship Nomia. which left two days later than the Kllmory, and the Sirlus, arrived out yesterday after a passage of 12S days. The Nomia has been chartered for Jan uary. 1902, loading at Portland, -and Is the longest shot of the season to date. Before she again reaches this port she must discharge her cargo of wheat, take in ballast and cross the Atlantic to load oil at Philadelphia or New York for the Orient. There Is a stretch of about 16,000 miles to be covered before she reaches a port of discharge In the far East, and, after getting rid of her oil cargo, she must take In ballast and sail over an other stretch of 3500 miles before she reaches the cargo for i she was chartered. The total distance which the vessel must sail is not less than 23.000 miles, and It Is probable that the wheat wlilch will make up her cargo has not yet been sown. Mutinous Crew Released. NEW YORK, March 15. The 12 sailors and firemen of the British tramp steamer Camperdown. who mutinied March 4 when the vessel went on the shoals off Cape Lookout off the North Carolina coast, and who were arrested here, have been dis charged by United States Commissioner Shields. The men shipped under British papers, and Charles Fox, of the British Consul's office, who contemplated extra dition proceedings, asked that the men be released. Explanatory of this, Mr. Fox stated that Captain Smith, of the Camperdown, refused to go to England to press his complaint against the mutineers. The Consul has no authority to compel Captain Smith to go to England, conse quently further proceedings on the com plaint would be futile, Mr. Fox said. Two More Grain Ships. The British bark Buteshire and the American bark Kate Davenport are still scudding around outside, and their places in the front row off the mouth of the river was taken last evening by the Ger man bark Ferdinand Fischer, from Hl ogo, and the British bark Balblalr, from Iquique. There Is enough tonnage In the river for all requirements at the present time, but the exporters are hustling their ships out so fast that there will be only a moderate-sized fleet to finish by the end of tho month. The Ferdinand Fischer made a very good passage coming across from the Orient In 30 days. Vessels Off Mouth of River. ASTORIA, Or., March 15. The three deep-water vessels now off the mouth of the river are known to be the German ship Ferdinand Fischer, 31 days from HJogoT. British bark Buteshire, 64 days from Hong Kong, and the British bark Dalblalr, 59 days from Iquique. All of these vessels have pilots on board. The American, "bark Kate .Davenport, also outside", has not. To Deepen the Canal. ALBANY, N. Y.. March 15. In a mes sage to the Legislature today. Governor Odell recommends a continuation of the work begun several years ago of deep ening the state canals to nine feet and lengthening the locks. The cost of carry ing on this work to its completion Is estimated at $25,000,000. Good Progress at Moving: Poltalloch. SOUTH BEND. Wash., March 15. The stranded Poltalloch has been moved 11S0 feet from where she went ashore. It is now believed that unless the unforseen happens the vessel will be In deep water in a week or fo. She will be towed to South Bend for repairs. Domestic and Forelgrn Ports. ASTORIA, Or.. March 15. Arrived In at 4:30 P. M., and left up at 6:30 P.

Buchanan, a pioneer steam boat captain and early resident of Port land, died yesterday at St. Vincent's Hos pital. He was born In Pennsylvania in 1S30, and learned the blaaksmith's trade at Quincy and, Springfield, 111., and served for a time In 'the Chicago, Burlington & Qulncy shops at Quincy. When the Civil "War broke out he enlisted in the Seventh Illinois Cavalry, and served until dis charged on account of injuries received during an engagement. After recovery he came to Oregon In 1S04. He was one of the original promoters of the Willamette Iron works with Peter Taylor, John Nation, James and John Fox. A. B Hallock, and Couch & Flan ders. He was foreman of the blacksmith i works of the mill until ISO. In that year he went Into the steamboat business, building the steamer Wasp, which ran for a while between Portland and Vancouver. His brother, I. W. Buchanan, now dead, was associated with him In business. They built the tug Ben Holladay, and were the first men on the river to make t specialty of towing ships between Port land and Asto-la. Finding the Ben Hol laday too small for the service, they con structed the Ocklahama, one of the best towboats In the Northwest, but disposed of her to the Oregon Steam Navigation Company before she was completed, and soon afterward launched the City of Quincy, which they operated until she was sold to go to Puget Sound. They next purchased the Traveler, on the Cas- fVirio rniiro (nnvtr nt Snn TTrn n nl inn sic tho H. C. Grady), but. finding her too slow, ! built tho steamer lone for the same trade. After his brother s death he sold the lone to his son. Captain W. S. Buchanan. Of late years he resided in Yoncalla, Doug las County until Injured last October by falling over some logs. Since that time he had lived .vlth his son in Portland. While connected with the Willamette Iron works. Captain Buchanan made the first shovel that removed the first shovel ful of earth on the Oregon & California Railroad It was made of Oregon ash, and Oregon Iron, puddled out by Mr. Bu chanan himself. This now rests in a Washington, D. C, museum. He was a number of Portland Lodge, No. 55, A. F. & A. M., and also a mem ber of Roseburg Lodge, B. P. O. E., and the G. A. R. The funeral will be held Sunday at 2:30 P. 31. from the residence J of his son. Captain W. S. Buchanan, 161 North Twelfth street Rev. Dr. E. P. H!ll will preach the sermon, and the Masonic Lodge will -conduct the services at the grave In Lone Fir cemetery. FIGHT ON BARBERS' LAW. Commission and Sunday Closing: Acts to Be Tested. Suits to test the constitutionality of the law of 1S99. creating the State Barber Commission, and the act of 190L requiring barber shops to close on Sunday, will be begun in the State Circuit Court before long. Boss barbers representing Ave shops held a secret meeting the other day, and are not telling any one what they did. Simon Abraham, who has been a strong opponent of Sunday closing, de nied all knowledge of the meeting, and said he knew nothing about the move ment to test the laws. R. Marsch re ferred an Inquirer to Jubitz & Saling, of the Hotel Portland shop. Mr. Jubitz said that both the commission and Sunday laws would be contested, but that those behind the movement would permit the union to make the first move. President Howard, of the State Barber Commission, said last night that he had not heard of the proposed attack on the laws of 1899 and 1901. but he hoped it was true, as both sides would be benefited by the determination of the constitutional question. He has been expecting a test of the Sunday law, as the opponents of It were due to make a move. He added that he had been asked to join the oppo sition, to reduce the wages of journey men to a flat scale, without percentages, and to blacklist men who declined to ac cept the reductions and resigned. He said he refused to have anything to do with the undertaking. President Howard says that if boss bar bers want the commission to take the initiative so as to" give them cause to appeal to the courts, they will be accomo dated. Both the Sunday closing and com mission laws will, he said, be enforced to the letter. GRAIN-O!

Iron and Steel Are Still Booming Some Improvement In "Wool Bank Clearings. NEW YORK, March 15. Bradstreet'a tomorrow will say: t The general situation is without Im portant change, the events of the week appearing to accentuate heretofore pre vailing conditions. Distributive trade and speculation in securities continue large In volume with prices rising from suppression. As types of these move ments, the iron and cotton goods Indus tries are pre-eminent and these two seem like opposite poles, so marked is the dif ference In trade In feeling and conditions. In most other industries, the reports are quite lavorable, notably In this direction being lumber, leather and hardware and Implement trades. Western and South ern distributive trade reports are quite favorable, and the reports of active de mand for dry goods and clothing at the West, contrast sharply with the reports of dull business and the receding prices of print cloths, bleached cottons and other fabrics at first hands. Railway returns continue highly favor able, confirming reports heretofore pub lished of activity In general shipping, and reports of a shortage of cars, a strange one at this season of the year, come from Chicago and other large cen ters. Clearings are of heavy volume, and in this as In nearly all other branches of trade, improvement present records1 sur passing all previously recorded for this season of the year. Conditions in the domestic Iron and steel demand recall the boom of 1S93, and It becomes more and more evident that an enormous consumptive demand, discour aged by the high prices of a year ago. Is now coming freely Into the market. Wool Is In larger sale, and foreign mar kets are quite strong. Eastern stocks are said to be small and declining and the situation Is gradually readjusting Itself. The Government report of wheat In farm ers' hands, pointing to 40,000,000 bushels less held than a year ago, was regarded as a bullish feature and, counted with light Northwestern receipts, caused a rise, which was, however, taken advantage of to realize, and the net change for the week Is slight. Wheat, Including flour shipments for the week, aggregate 4,693,939 bushels, against 4.229.52S bushels- last week; 2,727,450 bush els for the corresponding week In 1900, and 4,114,000 bushels In 1S99. From July 1 to date this season, wheat exports have been 143,371,456 bushels, against 141.316.S05 bushels last season. Business failures In the United States for the week number 217, as against 20S last week, 150 In this week a year ago, 205 in 1S99; 233 In 1S9S, and 231 In 1897. Canadian failures for the week number 28 against 33 last week, 2S In this week a year ago, and 21 In 1S99. I 1 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I "Spirit of Erin."

Considerable Activity In a Large Number of Industries. NEW YORK, March 15. R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade tomorrow will say: Improving wheat crop reports, a pig iron production seldom exceeded, strong cash prices for all Iron and Pteel prod ucts that can be delivered, heavy grain exnorts at rood nrlces. actlvitv In minor industries, and a money market that Im poses no hardship upon business, com prise the bright side of the picture of the week. Threatening labor troubles seem more remote. The textile markets, long backward, have again failed to respond to the general confidence In commercial cir cles. A slight recovery in cotton was not held, and the goods market shows a de cline In a month from 5 to 5 cents In standard brown sheetings, 22 to 21 cents In wide sheetings, 55 to 5 In brown drills, and 5 to 5 in staple ginghams. Steel mills are still much behind their orders, and contracts for Bessemer pig for July deliver', indicate that the ac tivity Is not considered temporary. Yet the wide difference In quotations between Immediate and distant sales sug gests some fear that present high prices cannot be maintained. While the various pools and associations are extremely con servative about advancing nominal price lists, actual business continues to be transacted at premiums which are ac cording to the urgency of purchasers. Structural material Is still a feature, and the rapid development of newly dis covered oil fields Is creating"an unusual demand for plates, pipes and drilling machinery- Steel rail contracts have been Increased and railways need rolling stock. Pig Iron production, according to the Iron Age. has increased to 2S2.8S9 tons weekly, which is about 5000 tons below the high record of February 1, 1900. It Is sur prising to find, despite an output at the rate of over 15,000.000 tons annually, that furnace stocks decreased 21,236 tons during February, making the tptaj 535,443 tons on March 1, against 760,531 tons five months ago. Boot and shoe shops are well occu pied. Eastern factories having their full capacity engaged, In some cases up to September 1, and even the less fortunate makers have contracts for some months. Leather Is active and well sustained. Slight Improvements In special line of textiles are ocaslonally noticed, but prices are maintained with difficulty. Further declines are reported In wool, making a material fall since the month opened. At the last concessions, Boston holders exhibit an Inclination to refuse bids and there is more indications of steadiness than previously this season. Prospects for a good Winter wheat yield are considered bright. Official re ports of supplies on the farms March 1 showed the expected loss compared with last year, but a good gain over recent years prior to 1899. Failures for the week were 209 in tho United States against 190 last year, and 33 In Canada against 23 last year. Bank Clearing. NEW YORK, March 15.

It has been decided to open the Pan-American Exposition May 1. At that time Presi dent McKlnley and his Cabinet are ex pected to be on their way to the Pacific Coast. It is proposed to connect the Pres dent's train by telegraph with the Tem ple of Music. Direct telegraphic com munication will also be established with the executive offices of the Presidents of all the Republics of the Western Hemis phere and the Governor-General of Cana da. At precisely 2 o'clock, Buffalo time, they will all be requested to touch electric buttons In their offices, which will start pieces of machinery at the exposition. At the same time It Is expected that each will transmit a message of greeting. President McKlnley will then start the great fountain pumps, and will transmit over the wires a message of greeting. May 14 it is proposed to hold imposing dedicatory ceremonies when it is ex pected .that Vice-President Roosevelt, Governor Odell and a large number of National and diplomatic officials will be present. A day, probably between June 9 and 12. will be designated President's day when President McKlnley and his party, on the return from the Coast, will be present. A Fever District South. Africa. The Contemporary Review. The Belra Railway runs through such a fever district and accidents are so com mon an occurrence that the company employs a doctor -ntlrely to look after Its employes. He receives. I believe, some S00 a year and allowances at least, so I am assured. His life Is a lonely and hard-worked one. He Is continually on the move. One man Is only able to look after about 200 miles of the railway. Even along that small area seldom a day passes but he has some one to mend up or physic. Sametlmes he has to travel over 100 miles on a nigger-propelled trolley In order to look up one sick case. Yet, at the same time, many die without attention. The fever on the Belra Railway is about the worst kind of fever to be met with any where. It neer falls to attack the white man sooner or later. It is extremely stealthy In its onslaught, and nothing can be done to ward It off entirely. Win dows shut at sunset, so as to prevent the dank, deadly mist which nightly arises from the swamps, can do some thing. Attention to hygiene, and avoid ing the long grass In Springtime and af ter sunset can do more. Abstention from alcoholic beverages can do most of all at least, attention to the latter detail very often prevents fatal effects. When any of the flmployes of the rail way are taken sick they are either attend ed by the doctor at his own place or taken down to the hospital at Belra on trucks and on specially chartered steam ers. The hospital Is a very good one. Any one who Is forced to take refuge there bears testimony to the skill and comforts therein procurable. One needs to be constantly vomiting for bIx days without cessation, at a temperature of 105 or even more, without any perspira tion all that time, to realize what It means to have clean linen under one's aching head, eaj de cologne on one's fore- Street, Grand Rapids, Michigan, relates the following story : "The birth of my first child left mo In a deplorable condition.

Called Illn Friend Bluff. Detroit News. To back up a boast made during a con versation, Alex H. Sibley, a young attor ney, has left the city on a hurried visit to England, and Is now crossing the oce?n. Tho conversation took place at the De troit Club on Thursday. Six young men were sitting In the smoking-room discuss ing various topics. The conversation drifted to ocean travels In general and the dangers and disagreeable features of ocean travel In midwinter In particular. "I would not cross the ocean at pres ent for $500," said one of the party. Sibley, who was in the group, made this assertion: "I don't think that the trip Is so much more unpleasant than In Sujnmci. Anyway, I'll go over to England now for :200." Some of the young men laughed, others disputed his sincerity till the young law yer, with stronger emphasis, repeated hit assertion. Til go for $200 and go tonight." he said '"We'll just take you." The response came from several sides. Immediately each of the group declared his willingness to contribute sufficiently to make up the amount required, and the $100 was raised at once. Sibley seemed to be delighted to be able to back up his assertion. He went home and Immediately prepared for his depart ture. He left for New York the same evening, and this mo: ring sailed for Lon don. Upon his arrival there he will find $2C0 waltlntr for his disposal.
