THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY. MARCH 29, 1901.
EIGHTEEN WHEAT SHIPS
CHARTERED GRAIN FXEET STIIX

Coanty of Pembroke the X.atet Ar
rival Two Ships Chartered Yes
terdayOther Marine Nevr.
There was another county heard from
yesterday, when the British ship County
of Pembroke arrived In at Astoria, after
a good passage of 58 days from Carrlzal.
This Is the fifth ship to arrive from the
nitrate ports within the past week, and
all of them have made fast passages,
all of them being under 60 days, which
Is an average passage from the nitrate
ports. The County of Pembroke, which
is the sixth vessel of the County line to
load here this season, made the run in
GS days. This vessel brings the list of
tonnage In port up to IS grain ships of
a total net register of 32,232 tons, and
every ship, is under engagement. The
arrival of the County of Pembroke ac
counts for all of the vessels which are
known to be due, except the Nereus and
Fulwood, from Hong Kong, and the Port
Carlisle frcm Caleta Buena, The Paul
Isenberg, which is coming from Honolulu,
Is due ear!' next month, and there is a
possibility that one or two other ships
may be closer at hand than expected.
FOREIGN TRADE BEST.
American "VckkcIh Prefer Deep Water
to CouMtltiK Rontc.
A scarcity of schooners for the coast
ing lumber trade Is reported all over the
Coast, and despite the fact that Pacific
yards are turning them out faster than
ever before, the profits of deep-water busi
ness arc o much better than is the "pro.
tected" counting business that they are
kept in ti foreign trade in competition
with vb!ol. from all of the principal
maritime nations of the world. The new
fchooner Mahukona loads at Port Gam
ble for Sydney and the Otella Pederson
goes on her maiden trip from Puget Sound
to Melbourne The new barkentlne James
Johnson makes her ilrst voyage next
month from Tacoma to Sydney. The Re
peat loads at San Francisco for Santa
Rosalia, and the Echo on Puget Sound
for Melbourne. Another of Simpson's ves
sels, the t'hehalls, has just sailed from
the Columl.U River for Freemantle. The
Spokane loads at Puget Sound for Callao.
The Xokomls loads on Gray's Harbor for
Santa Rosalia, and the Novelty arrived in
at Knappton yesterday to load for Aus
tralia. The sarn'- conditions prevail among the
square-rigged vessels flying the American
flag, and Instead of remaining in the
coasting trade, whore they are "protect
ed" by our ancient navigation laws, all
of them orc-pi the old-style vessels or
small schoner- are to bo found in the
foreign trade buccessfully competing with
ships of other nations. The finest fleet of
American .-hips afloat Is owned by the
heirs of the late Arthur Sewall. and these
vessels are now engaged as follows:

Both the Villard and the Iroquois have
been In the foreign trade until a short
time ago, and both will undoubtedly re
turn to it, now that off-shore business Is
paying so much better than coasting.
From the above it is apparent that 87 per
cent of the Sewall fleet Is in the foreign
trade In competition with ships of other
nations, while but 13 per cent of it is en
gaged In the "protected" coastwise trade.
TWO MORE CHARTERS.
Aprll-Mny Ship for Portland and
Spot Ship for Taconin.
The free selling of wheat, which was
brought about by a slight improvement
in the foreign market and a weakening
in freights, has resulted In a renewal
of chartering, and two engagements came
to light yesterday. The British bark VI
melra, now en route to this port from
Hong Kong, was chartered for April-May
loading at 37s 6d, and the mammoth Alice
LSteh. YhU ?! "r"!!,
the freight market with her ponderous
size, is reported fixed to load on Puget
Sound.
The rate of the Alice A. Leigh is not
knonvn, but as she has been hawked
around the market at varying prices from
43s 9d down as low as 35s, she probably
got about what she deserved, which would
be the lowest figure of the season. This
massive tank has been reported fixed so
often that even the well-authenticated re- I
port of her engagement yesterday was
pot generally believed, and some will wait
until she discharges ballast and takes in j
stiffening before they accept it as a fact,
Pilot "Wheel of Brother Jonathan, j
OREGON CITY, Or., March 2S. Guy I
Clark recently acquired possession of the j
pilot wheel of the steamer Brother Jona- I
than, which went ashore at Crescent i
City, Cal., July 30, 1SG5. Two hundred
seventy-live persons lost their lives, while
17 made their way to shore in a small i
boat. The Brother Jonathan made reg- '
ular trips from Portland to San Fran
cisco, until the vessel was wrecked.
Young Clark recently visited his father,
who is manager of the Bandon Woolen
Mills, and while there made a trip to
Crescent City, where he purchased the
wheel on account of its value as a relic
The wheel has been used to ornament
the interior of a saloon for 30 years,
the owner refusing to sell it for any con
sideration, but after his death, a daughter
was induced to part with it.
British Shipmaster Dead.
Captain Bell, of the British ship Helga,
died on board his ship yesterday morning
after a very brief illness. Appendicitis is
given as the cause of his death. He was
in apparent good health as late as Tues
day, ai)d was up town on that date. In
company with his wife and daughter he
spent Tuesday evening at the residence
of Captain Hoben, and left there about
10:30 P. M. in apparent good health and
spirits. He was stricken that evening, and
grew rapidly worse until the end came.
All of the ships In the harbor had their
flags at half-mast yesterday in respect to
the dead captain. Captain Bell was a resi
dent of St. Johns. N. B., and his wife and
daughter arrived from that city a few
days ago to join him and make the voy
age to Europe with him.
Voyage of Hardship.
CAPE TOWN, March 2S. The Norwe
gian bark Andromeda from Glasgow, has
landed a part of the crew of the Psyche,
which foundered January 17. The rescued
sailors were 00 days In an open boat, and
subsisted upon shark and albatross. Two
of the members of the crew perished as a
result of the exposure and the remainder
were nearly dead when rescued. The
Psyche's mate and five men who put to
sea In a second boat, are still missing.
Scaling Steamer Return.
ST. JOHNS. N. F.. March 28. The seal
ing steamer Leopard, from the Ice fields,
arrived- here -today with 11,000 sealskins.
She reports the remntnlng ships of the
fleet to be cruising about among the floes.
and as being hampered In hunting by the
prevalence of fogs and storms. The Leop
ard also reports the Ice floes drifting
shoreward and blockading the northern
coast. The ice floes will probably block
ade St. Johns Harbor within two days.
People living along the shere are prepar
ing to venture off among the ice fields to
shoot seals.

IS THE BITE FATAL?
Professor James Says Rattlesnake
Is Xot Deadly.
Apropos of this subject of rattlesnakes '
the remarkable statement may be quoted,
recently made by Professor Edmund J.
James, of the University of Chicago, to
the effect that death from rattlesnake bite
is a great rarity, says Leslie's Weekly.
He has been working for 20 years, he
says, to obtain a well authenticated case
of death from such a cause. Many stories
of people dying from rattlesnake poison
had been found, upon investigation, to
be without foundation. One genuine case
discovered recently in Georgia was con
sidered by Professor James sufficiently re
markable to warrant him In obtaining a
sworn affidavit to the facts from the at
tending physician. The case was that of
a man, a "snake charmer," who was bit
ten by a large rattlesnake of the variety
known in the South as the "diamond rat
tler." The man died from paralysis of the
heart caused by the bite, after lingering
In great agony for IS hours.
Referring to Professor James' statement
Dr. Menger says that his own experience
and that of many of his professional as
sociates in Texas indicates that death
from rattlesnake bite is not so rare a
thing as the Chicago professor would
have the world believe.
"Rattlesnakes," says Dr. Menger, "are
not in all instances deadly, depending
upon the parts injured, the amount of
poison injected, susceptibility, etc Often
the snake's tooth breaks off in striking,
TOWXSEXD.
j or it penetrates thick clothing, the boot
. or shoe, etc, before the fang reaches the
flesh, and in these cases only painful and
I superficial wounds are inflicted, with pcr-
When, though, the poison fang strikes a
vital part, especially blood vessels, the
poisoning symptoms are at once alarm
ing, and in most of these instances death
generally occurs. Fright during the sud
den meeting of a rattlesnake, with the
blood-curdling 'hiss of its rattles and the
consequent shock upon the nervous sys
tem, especially the heart centers, un
doubtedly has also produced sudden
death."

New Y'ork market, and recently openly
solicited proxies from shareholders, an
nounced today that he had been entirely
successful in securing a majority of the
shares, and that those for whom he was
acting are now In absolute control of the
Mexican Central Railway.
"The Identity of the interests for whom
the property has been secured is not dis
closed, but the acquisition was made, it
is stated, for one of the two connecting
railroads at El Paso. They are the Atch

believed that the purchase has been made
for the older company. The older Bos
ton Interests in the Atchison were also
largely interested in the Mexican Central,
and at present there is considerable iden

two properties.
"The Mexican Central extends from the
south of the Rio Grande River, opposite
El Paso, to the City of Mexico, with sev
eral branches. Altogether it operates
about 2100 miles. Including mileage recent

$25,600 per mile Is $47,973,100. The main
bond issue is $61,643,000 consolidated 4s, but
altogether over $65,600,000 of bonds are out

small surplus over its shares."
DISCUSSED ITS LEGALITY.
Oregon City Franchise "Which Pres
ent Council Would Annnl.
OREGON CITY, Or., March 23. The le
gality of the city ordinance passed De
cember 30, 1900, granting F. S. Morns a
franchise to run passenger and freight
trolley cars on Main street for a period
of 43 years, was argued this afternoon by
the attorneys for the Portland City Sc Or
egon Railway and counsel representing
the municipality. The new Council that
took charge of affairs January 1, pro
pounced the franchise Invalid, principally"
on the ground that the ordinance was
passed at an adjourned meeting of the
regular Council session at which Is was
first read. The counsel for the city con
tended that there were only two kinds of
council meetings, regular and special;
that an adjourned meeting was a contin
uation of a regular session and part of
it. The counsel for the trolley company
contended that the ordinance was passed
at two separate meetings. Recorder
Curry gave the attorneys .10 days in
which to file briefs. The hearing today
was on the legality of the ordinance, by
stipulation of the attorneys, and the de
cision of the courts will determine
whether or not motorman George Adams
was guilty of violating the provisions of
the freight franchise by running a freight
train through Main street.

ARRAIGNMENT OF SOCIALISM
Answer to a Communication From
Mrs. Foetisch.
EUGENE, Or., March 25. (To the Ed
itor.) Under the caption, "Defense of So
cialism," I have Just read an article by
Mrs. G. E. Foetisch. It Is quite evident
the above writer has not taken the trouble
to refer to the history of the Boer, or
Boor, of South Africa or she would not
write, as she does of England in reference
to her war In that country.
History tells us that in 1836 the Boers
decamped from Cape Colony, where Great
Britain gave them equal rights and priv
ileges with her own people and those of
other nations; on the condition, however,
that slavery should be totally abolished;
that the Boer of 1836 should no longer be
a slavedriver. Of course this edict was
foreign to a people who have derived
their name from their "boorish" manner
of dealing with their weaker brethren;
therefore did they take up their beds
and go north, where they despoiled their
opponents' property and slaughtered
women and children In their wake. By
sheer force they got possession of the
country they have since and still claim
as their heritage.
One of Krugers Generals lately pub
lished a book in which he described Kru
ger as a wanton and cruel man, a man
not possessing a particle of anything per
taining to that of man of the fair-play
type or yet the smallest drop of the milk
of human kindness. I just now forget the
oxast words used by that General, but
what I write .Is the sum and substance
as given In The Oregonian of some few
months since.
Mrs. Foetisch must either be Ignorant
of the history of South Africa of 1835
and of later years, or else she must be
purblind by prejudice In which she evi
dently has been cradled. England has
been the benefactor of even the Boers,
who shall yet bless the day that Paul
Kruger was insane enough to send an
ultimatum to England. So shall the Fili
pinos bless the United States before many
years roll over their heads.
If Mrs. Foetisch be a socialist, I think
few will desire that tnts land shall be
ruled by a socialistic crowd of her type.
She ought to go into partnership with the
saloon-smasher, and both of them may
be able to smash the windows of the
White House and dictate to President
McKlnley how he shall eat and drink at
his own table.
Socialism controlled by reason Is what
we all desire, but when maniacs try to
rule mankind and dictate to the man who
earns a fortune in a righteous way how
he shall dispense of his surplus riches,
then nobody will join hands and voices
with such rulers, or would-be rulers of
this world's destinies.
Mrs. Foetisch refers to the building of
railroads as being detrimental to the la
borers' Interest. If the money be made
for a corporation which controls them,
then the laborer Is still benefited, as many
more must get employment than if no
railroads were bullL The roads cannot
be operated without the laborer.
Again, she speaks against the use of
machinery, because a child can make so
many more cans. All this must revert in
some shape or another to the laborer he
gets the canned meats at a lower figure
than he otherwise could expect to buy
them for.
As to trusts, I can see nothing that can
prevent those forming for any purpose so
long as the public patronizes them. In all
ages there have been trusts in some shape
or another, and such will continue, as if
we try to prevent trusts 'forming, we then
try to fight the impossible. This or any
other nation can never frame a law that
will stop trust-forming, as if we did so
we would then be Interfering with the
liberty of the subject. The only way to
shut out trusts is to introduce the boy
cott system of not dealing with such
corporative bodies.
Why do trusts seem to prosper? Simply
because of the support given them by
the laborers and citizens In general, to
whom they apparently prove beneficial,
and not, as Mrs. Foetisch puts it, "to
the fellows on the Inside." Whilst I do
approve of our railroads being owned
and controlled by the Government, I can
not coincide with Mrs. Foetisch's views
as to how they should be controlled, un
less she proposes to pay the owners of
such roads for them.
Mr. Rockefeller made money, and he
has been a public benefactor. He has
not and does not force people to work
for him. The laborer seeks his employer
and accepts the wages paid, besides, Mr.
Rockefeller bestows many gifts in the
way of founding charitable Institutions,
and has a perfect right to do as he pleases
with his own money. Those who preach
socialism would be the first to grind their
fellow man had they an opportunity to
do so. Would they divide the surplus? I
think it very unlikely that they would.
There Is, however, too much of n differ
ence between capital and labor; but this
socialism will not and cannot remedy all
In a day. Things will in time right
themselves.
Mrs. Foetisch says that certain firms In
New York spend $1,000,000 a year In adver
tising, and that this Is a waste. She
should consider in what channel that
money will flow. The typesetter gets
Ills share, and he divides up with his
grocer and butcher and baker and tailor,
and these In turn divide up with the
farmer, and so on the money keeps roll-

lng round from the laborer to the farmer
and from the latter back again to the ad

a waster of funds.
Mrs. Foetisch's reference to England
shows she is not a true socialist, other
wise she would praise that country for
giving the slave equal rights with his
slavedriver, Kruger. a hypocritical psalm
slnger. His day Is" gone, and his sun has
set to rise no more, and the slave will
thrive under British liberty. England
Is the champion of liberty, and were it
not for her, slavery would probably have
never been abolished.
Mrs. Foetisch's doctrine of socialism has
something that savors of the "Foetish."

THE HEALTH HABIT.
Just as Easy to Form as Any Other.
We do not deliberately form our pet
habits, but they are unconsciously ac
quired, and grow as we grow, and by the
time we learn they are hurting us. we
find them too strong to be easily broken.
Then, why not form a good habit, a hab
it which will counteract the many bad
ones. In other words contract the unfash
ionable habit of being always well.
The best health habit to get into is to
have and keep a vigorous stomach; if
you have a healthy digestion you can
drink your beloved coffee, smoke your
favorite brand of tobacco, with little or
no harm: the mischief begins when these
things are forced upon the faithful stom
ach, without any assistance.
Form the habit of taking after meals
some harmless but efficient digestive
which will relieve the stomach of so much
extra work. t
Nature furnishes us with such diges
tives, and when they are combined In
such a pleasant preparation as Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablet., they give the over
worked stomach Just the necessary as
sistance to secure perfect digestion with
out any of the harmful effects of cathar
tics and similar Grugs.
The habit of taking Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets after meals is as necessary to the
weak stomach as food Itself, and, indeed,
to get the benefit from food eaten, noth
ing better, and certainly nothing safer,
can be used.
Many families consider Stuart's Tablets
as essential in the house as knives and
forks.
They consist entirely of natural diges
tive principles without the effect or char
acteristics of dr-rrs; they have no ca
thartic action, but simply go to work ou
the food eaten and digest it.
Take into account your bad habits and
the expense they entail, and then invest
50 cents in a box of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets and see if your digestion for the
next month is not vastly Improved.
Ask the clerk in any drug store the
name of the most successful and popular
stomach remedy, and he will say Stuart's.

HAIR SOFT AS SILK.
New Scientific Treatment Kills Dan
draff Germs, and Makes Hair Soft.
It is an accepted fact, a proven fact,
that dandruff is a germ disease: and it
Is also a demonstrated fact that Newbro s
Herplcide kills the dandruff germ. With
out dandruff falling hair will stop, and
thin hair will thicken. Herplcide not only
kills the dandruff germ, but It also makes
hair as soft as silk. It is the most de
lightful hair dressing made. It cleanses
the scalp from dandruff and keeps it
clean and healthy. Itching and irrita
tion are Instantly relieved, and perma
nently cured. At all druggists. There's
nothing "Just as good." Take no substi
tute. Ask for "Herplcide."
