THE MOTTOING OKEGOIfTAN, WEDNESDAY. APEIL" 3, 1901. ROYAL FORTH RETURNING .BIG SAILIXG SHIP IS NOW UNDER THE GER3EUi FliAG. Steamship Universe Ubeled Tester- day Monmontnanlre Due From the Orienf Today. Two of the largest and finest British built sailing Ehlps afloat are now beaded for this port under new names and new flags. These vessels are best own to the people of Portland as the Royal .Forth and the Trade Winds, and under the Brit ish flag they carried from Portland the two largest cargoes ever taken out or S?e by sailing vessels. The Royal Forth Is returning as the German bark Hen rietta and the Trade Winds is now the German bark Magdalene. Thirteen out of the 3ff ships now headed for Portland are flying the German flag, one the French, and one the Dutch flag. The most strik ing feature of the big German fleet Is the fact that nine of the largest carriers are British-built ships, which have been brought under the German flag by the liberal German navigation laws, which permit a man to buy a ship -wherever he can buy it the cheapest. The name and tonnage of the German vessels now en route to this port, and which have form erly .sailed under British flags are as follows: New name. Old name. Tons. Alsterschwan Alcedo 2309 Ecuador Snaigow 226 Henrietta Royal Forth 2919 Henriette Strathern 17 H. Hackfield British Nation 1249 Magdalene Trade Winds 2732 Nal-JJord Rlpon 2627 Nomia Auchencalr Otto Glldemlster Zemindar. 2003 Those now en route to this port which have- always- been under the German flag are as follows: Najade 1677 Nereus ....N j Paul Isenberg g Schiller -1227 Total German fleet, 25,489 tons. The net registered tonnage of the British fleet, now en route and listed for Port land is but 26.718 tons for the 16 ships, the figures accordingly showing a much larger average size for the German ships. Ot the ships which have already cleared from Portland this season, there were 57 British, 27 Germans, 11 French, 2 Italians, 2. Dutch, and 1 each Danish and Nor wegian. NO NOME RUSH. Indications Favorable for Msbt Crowds and Lour Rates. SEATTLE. April 2. A tour of the offi cers of the different steamboat companies engaged in the Cape Nome trade shows a great falling ff In the bookings of both freight and -passengers to that region, as compared with the rush of a year ago. A Cape Nome passenger man, vrho is con sidered one of the best-posted men In that trade has this to say on the prospects of the North trade this year: "I am very much afraid the Nome busi ness Is going to prove a total failure, and I base my opinion on the fact that up to April 1 not over 35 tickets have been sold, as against nearly 9000 up to the same period in 1900, and not only is the falling -off in passengers, but in freight, as while a year ago every foot of space was engaged, for in many cases two and three voyages and that at figures away ahead of the present rates. The freight space of this year's fleet's first trip is not more than half engaged. A year ago I estimate -we had in this city between 7000 and 10,000 strangers, who were bound for the different mining camps up North, and today we have not a tenth of that number, and the people who are going to the Northern camps are not going to buy their tickets until they are ready to start, as every one expects a big rate war between the different companies when it comes near sailing time, and they' find they may have to sail North, with a light passenger list I am inclined to the opin ion that the fates will be cut, and cut deeply, as every company that has to send its vessels North will try and get what they can out of the small business offering. "In my opinion, the xsause of the falling off of .the Nome travel is chargeable to the booming of the oil companies anti the general good times prevailing throughout the Nation, as no one natural ly wants to go to such a bleak place as Nome if they can make a good living in God's country. "The only hope of the companies en gaged in the business is that when the boats return on their first voyage they may be able to report some wonderful rich strikes, but even that I am afraid -will do little good, as so many false re ports have been sent out from that coun tryv I question if the public would believe the reports of the finding of gold in large quantities. "Summed up, I think the Nome busi ness will prove si. failure, but X think the business to Southeastern Alaska will be good, as the field is so large and so many people are in the country now that for a reasonable number of vessels there will be good business, but the number of ships chartered for the Nome trade Is so out of proportion to the number of people going to that section that if they are all put on it will mean financial ruin to some of them, as with a limited patron age the high rates that prevailed last year cannot be sustained. "All told I do not think there will be more than 1500 or 2000 passages sold, against fully 10 times that number last year, andvyet there is a greater tonnage billed for the year rthan for the season of 1900." UNIVERSE IN TROUBLE. Steamship Libeled for Fuel Supplied and for Demurrage. The Norwegian steamship Universe was libeled yesterday on two separate counts, J. J. Moore & Co., of San Francisco, having a claim of $20,000 against the ves sel for demurrage, and the American Trading Company, of San Francisco, a claim for $3000 for coal furnished the ves sel when she was in the Orient, headed for this port. The vessel was cleared Monday for the Orient by the Portland Flouring Mills Company, who sup plied her outward cargo, but are in no way interested In the present or past troubles of the ship. The Universe is one of the tramps se cured to All in, pending the establish ment -of the O. R. & N. Co.'s line, and on her last inward trip was held up at Kobe for nearly a month. She Tan out of coal, and the American Trading Com pany supplied her with enough to bring her acaass the Pacific, where her master expected to colleca few.thousand pounds of back" pay and demurrage. He failed in this, and the attachment, suits against the steamer followed. The vessel was re leased on bonds, and the matter will be fought out in the courts. ON A. FAREWELL TRD7. Old Reliable Steamship Monmouth shire Due From Orient Today. The 'Old reliable liner Monmouthshire is due at 'Astoria this morning, and unless she has suffered unusually bad weather . she will' be there promptly on time. This is probably the farewell trip of the popu lar liner on this route. The owner of the vessel, Mr. Jenkins, Is here awaiting her arrival, and as there is not much prob ability of business being found for -her out of Portland, she may be sent to a new fleld. The Monmouthshire has made more trips between Portland and the Ori ent than any other vessel that ever ran there, and her departure will be much regretted by many. When she first came on the route, Portland's business with the far East had not reached a stage where larger steamers were required, and the carrying capacity of the Shire was fully ' equal to the demands, while her speed made her a general favorite with shippers. Rilot Schooner Wants Crevr. ASTOBJA, April-. 2c-The pUot schooner1 Joseph Pulitzer took on water and sup plies todajr, and will go to sea tomorrow, provided she is able to secure a crew.

Steamship agents interested in the Mediterranean trade were asked about a telegram re porting a new agreement on freight rates between the various lines. William Cov erly, manager for the Anchor Line, said: "I doubt that any agreement has been reached as yet, but negotiations are pend ing. The details of the proposed agree ment I do not care to discuss, but I can say that It is settled that there will "be no Increase In rates, neither will there be any reduction. The agreement will af fect Immigrants only." Herman Winter, representing the "North German Lloyd line, and J. P. Meyer, of the Hamburg-American Company, denied all knowledge of the new agreement.

Nothing has ever been done in that part of this region towards the development of Iron proper ties, and if this discovery proves to be of real value, some excitement may re, sult. In the Snake River District. The closing down of the Iron Dyke cop- ner mine on Snake River Is for the pur-4 pose of improving the roads so tnat heavy machinery may be transported tp the property, says Manager Frank Pearce. It has been reported that the cessation of operations was due to a hitch in the closing up of a receiver ship. There Is some little trouble on this score. It Is expected, however, that this matter will be satisfactorily adjusted by the time the road work is completed, and development of the property on a large scale will follow. Other work Is being done In the Snake district. W. B. McDougal, owner of the Joe the Greek group, expects to de velop this property early In the Spring, or as soon as supplies can be hauled. Mr. McDougal is a California mine-owner, having a property In that state which returns regular dividends. He de votes his time to the Joe the Greek, In vesting the returns from the California property, with apparent confidence that he is opening a great property. Promising Strike in Quebec. S. N. Farrls, of the Oregon & Colorado Gold Mining Company, says regarding the reported strike In the Quebec, in the Alamo district, that a new body of ore has been cut, but that no assays have been made, hence he is unable to say anything as to the value of the strike. A blind ledge was tapped while cross-cutting for the main Quebec ledge in the lower tunnel, known as No. 1. Where this tunnel entered the hillside, a heavy wash had to be cut through. As there was no outcrop ,at that point, the tunnel had to be driven according to engineers plans. When in less than 200 feet small crosscuts were driven to determine whether the tunnel was running parallel to the ledge sought. In one of these crosscuts the blind ledge was struck. It intersects the strike of the Quebec ledge, and Is supposed to be an extension of the Butcher Boy, the property next on the south, owned by the Bonanza Compa ny. The' ledge is five feet in width where cut, and has every appearance of being good ore. Cable Cove Mines Bonded. James T. York has given a bond for a deed on three Cable Cove mining prop erties to Owen Roberts, of Cripple Creek, Colo. The bond calls for the payment of $5000 In - Installments, $50 being paid down.

REFUGE FOR BUCKET-SHOPS May Go to Cnnnda to Escape Amer ican IiaTra. NEW YORK, April 2. The provision In the war revenue reduction act relating to bucket shops Is now In effect, and the result of Its operation Is awaited with considerable Interest, especially In down town brokerage circles. The application of the law places bucket-shop men In the peculiar position of having to pay a special tax and to acknowledge In writ ing that they are bucket-shop men, while the business of conducting a bucket shop In this state Is prohibited by a state law. Internal Revenue Collector Charles H. Treat said that so far no bucket-shop men had applied for a license In accordance with the provision of the new law. They have 10 days, however, In which to pay the special tax and take out such a li cense. No official rulings have yet come from Washington regarding the scope of the bucket-shop amendment. There ls.some talk that the bucket shops may remove their headquarters to Can ada, where there Is no anti-bucket-shop laws, and no Internal revenue tax. Agents In this city would still act for them, but all transactions would be by telegraph. The opinion Is expressed that the pres ent state and Federal laws would' not reach such operations.
