BRITISH SHIP TAI.TJS SATES GOOD
CHARTER. BY AARROVT-2IARGEV.
Had n-nt -48 Hours to Spare Otto
Gildemelster May Be Condemned '
Grain Fleet Moving: Again.
The British ship Talus arrived -In at As
toria Sunday, and reached this port yes
terday afternoon, after a very good pas
sage of SI days from Santos. Tlie Talus
is in command of Captain Fisher, who
is "well known in this port as master of
the British ship Wasdale, and he saved a.
good charter for his owners by a narrow
margin of about 4S hours. The Talus was
chartered several months ago at a, rate
enough above present .figures. to make a
difference of about $3509 in the profits on
the trip. The vessel did not reach Astoria
until Sunday afternoon, and as the Ock
lahama was lying -at Astoria ready for
2ier, she started up Sunday evening and
was in Portland harbor about 2A "hours
after leaving the high seas. The arrival
of the Talus leaves but four grain ships
due at this port the Fulwood. Sawthorn
iank, Nereus and Port Carlisle being
fully due and daily expected. The Ful
wood is regarded as far enough overdue
to "be a subject for reinsurance, 15 per cent
being offered on her.
AXOTHER "CIXCH" BUSTED.
Underwriters May Attempt to Clias
tiMe tlie Reinsurance Gamblers.
SAX FRANCISCO, April 8. It now de
velops that the gambers on reinsurance
who Invested their thousands on the prob
ablllty of the safe arrival of the German
ship Otto Gildemeister at her port of
destination, Portland, may lose the gains
of their risking so many thousands. The
Otto Gildemeister put into San Diego in
a wrecked condition, and was later towed
to this port. Surveyors who. have exam
ined file vessel say she is not jrorth re
pairing, and she will "be condemned. It is
understood that the speculators In rein
surance will fight the matter. They ex
pected to clear $115,000 on their specula
tIon. (There is a. limited amount of reinsur
ance on the Gildemeister in this city, but
the amount held here is so small In com
parison with that which is held in San
.Francisco that no effort is being made to
ithwart the plans of the underwriters.
The Otto -Gildemeister was -under charter
o Korr, Gifford & Co., of this city, and
soon after sb.e sailed Tates advanced to a
point "which made her charter a valuable
one. Her charterers took out some rein
surance to cover their profits, but as she
was so long on the way freights dropppd
again, and as the matter now stands
it probably makes but little difference to
.them whether she is condemned or
whether she comes along for her cargo.
The charterers declined -to discuss this
latest phase in what yet may prove a
vers interesting case any further than to
state that the matter is not "up" to them.
Shipping men who have examined the
Gildemeister since she reached San Fran
cisfco do not consider the damages to' the
vessel at all serious. The fact that she
was able to make port, .and twice refused
assistance, corroborates the belief that
6he is in fairly good shape. The hull is
uninjured, and the damage above decks,
could be made good for about one-fourth
the value of the ship. The underwriters
will be heavy gainers on the transaction
If they make the condemnation pro
ceedings stick, as tfcey can then pay the
owners the sum for which the vessel was
reinsured and reimburse themselves with
the premiums collected from the insur
ance speculators and from the sale of the
ship, which will be practically as good as
new when her masts are replaced and
will undoubtedly sell for more than she
was insured for when she is repaired.)
THE KILMORY WON.
Captain Corrance "Wins $800 Parse
With. His Clipper Sliip.
A copy of the Glasgow Scotsman of
March 23 contains the following item re
garding an ocean race which was pretty
freely discussed on the .Portland water
front before the ships got away on their
long journey.
"The arrival of the Glasgow ship' Kll
mory at Queenstown at G P. M. on Thurs
day, last week, brings to a close one of
the most -exciting ocean races between
sailing ships on record. The distance
traversed is approximately about 15,300
miles, and the names of the four vessels
which entered the race are the Glasgow
ships County of Edinburgh, "W. H. Pirrie
and Kilmory, and the German sblfc Altair.
All four are grain laden, and before leav
ing Astoria their respective captains con
tributed7$200 each, to be handed to the
captain of the vessel who arrived first of
the four at Queenstown. Captain Cor
rance, of the Kilmory, therefore claims
the prize of $S00. The Kilmory at pres
ent holds the record for the passage out
from Liverpool .and Portland, Or., via the
Hawaiian Isles, and has now performed
the passage in 129 days. She is owned
by Messrs. Kerr, Newton & Co., 7 Bu
chanan street, Glasgow."
MAKIXG XOIVG PASSAGES.
The JVovemher Grain Fleet Is Behind
tlie Record of Last Season.
The British ship Conway, the last of a
eet of 10 ships which sailed from this
port in'a bunch early in November, ar
rived out at Queenstown yesterday after a
slow passage of 154 days from this port
The Dechmont, which made the fastest
passage of the 10 vessels, made the run
in 122 days. All of the November ships
arriving out this season have been much
longer on the way than were the ships
for the same month a year ago. None of
the December ships have been heard
from, although quite a number of them
have "been out sufficiently long to be sev
eral days behind the Tecord, even If they
should arrive today.
Delayed Fleet Leaving.
The storm which was Taging "off the
coast of "Oregon and "Washington last
week has disappeared, and shipping is
again moving. The British ships Dims
dale and Swanhilda got away Sunday,
and the German bark Niobe and British
bark Dalblalr followed yesterday. The
American bark Prussia, which goes north
with cannery supplies, sailed from Astoria
yesterday, and .the. Universe got away
for the Orient Sunday. Among the de
partures Irom the mouth of the river
yesterday was the little propeller Athlon,
which is going around to Puget Sound.
She is a stanch little craft, and is fast
enough to make the run before another
storm blows tip.
Mates on a Strike.
HONOLULU, April 2, via San Francisco,
April 8. A general strike of mates of
the vessels engaged in the inter-Island
trade has tied up many of the vessels.
The mates employed by the Inter-Island
Steam Navigation Company and "Wilder
Steamship Company on over 20 vessels
ihave all struck- for higher wages. The
men were only recently given United
States certificates to allow them to fill
the positions they occupy, and are about
all the .licensed mates here. They -want
the Coast wages of $90, 576 and $50 a month
for first, second and third matesv They
have been getting $G5, $40 and $30. Both
companies are holding out, though today
most of their vessels are unable to leave
port.

TACOafcA, April 8. The Quartermaster's
Department at Tacoma is preparing to

"ARE YOU A BUFFALO?"
NEW
ORDER GAINS RECRUITS
FROM ALL CLASSES.
Itk Organisation Probably Originat
ed in the Fertile Brain of a
Traveling Man.
"Are you a Buffalo?" This Is the ques
tion which one hears on every hand of
late. At first, very few knew its mean
ing, but now the "order" of Buffaloes lias
hundreds of members In Portland, and
In all other cities of the United States
as 'well. The "order" Is rapidly growing;
it has taken like wild-fire, and every day
sees scores of new recruits enlisting under
its flag.
For the benefit of those who have not
OMMMOOO HttMt4M-ttH'MHHMtMt
NEWLY ELECTED MAYOR OF CANYON CITY.
ERRETT HICKS.
CANTON CITY. Or., April 8. Errett Hicks, who has just been elected Mayor
of this city, is one of the best-known attorneys-In Eastern Oregon. He has re
sided here for about eight years, and has been prominent in every public move
ment. He was nominated for District 'Attorney of this district in 1S90, but was
defeated by a small majority, running ahead of his ticket. A Council in sympa
thy with Mr. Hicks was chosen at the election, and It Is confidently expected,
that his administration will be one of the most progressive in the history of the
city. ' ' '
. ' i ., '
- eato ' o
yet been initiated Into the mysteries of
the Order of Buffaloes, it may be stated
that the organization is a great, big, stu
pid joke. Where it originated nobody
knows. Probably some knight of the grip
can honestly assert that he founded the
"order," and it Is altogether likely that
it took its name from the Pan-American
Exposition.
If a member of the order meets you and
engages in social converse, he will ask If
you are a Buffalo. If you reply In the
affirmative, he will put out his right hand
to shake hands with you. Iyou give him
your left hand he will know you are a
member; If you extend your right, he will
know that you are not, and will straight
way proceed to initiate you.
The initiation fee is U cents. If you
should unfortunately give him a dollar,
or any other sum of money, he will cheer
fully pocket itr and say: "A good Buffalo
never gives change." Protests will be of
no avail; he will keep your money. More
over, he will not accept an even H cent3
from you. Buffaloes do not reqognize
pennies.
After pocketing your coin, th,e Initiator
gives you the high sign of the order,
which consists In scratching your left
cheek with your left hand In a nonchalant
manner. He then Instructs you that In
drinking you are always to elevate your
glass to your lips with your left hand,
and in smoking to do likewise with your
cigar.
If a member of the order catches you
in the act of using your right hand In
drinking or smoking, after you have been
Initiated, he calls out "Buffalo," and you
are forced tb treat every member of the
order within sight t or hearing distance.
"Buffaloes this way!" will be called out,
and every member present will line up at
the bar to drink at your expense.
The principal duty of a member of the
order is to Initiate his fellow-men Into
the order. It Is said that one Portland
man recently made $13. In one day Initia
ting his friends. In Chicago recently, a
politician flashed a $100 bill to pay his Ini
tiation fee. The friend put it In his pock
et and refused to give change. The own
er of the bill has brought suit against
him for the money. A Des Moines, la.,
bartender pocketed a $5 bill, and its own
er held him up with a gun, and made him
return It.
The joke has "caught on" everywhere.
The clerks In the stores, men and women
alike, the professional and business men,
and even preachers are said io have been
initiated. It has taken deep root in Port
land, the members here being very nu
merous and very active In securing new
members.
CRIMINAL ASSAULT.
Two Low Down Brntes Under Ar
rest In Police Court. i
A M. Chrlstensen, a saloon-keeper at
Twelfth and Gllsan streets, and Benjamin
Rekdahl, driver of an express wagon,
were arrested yesterday by Detectives
Day and Weiner, charged with criminally
assaulting 16-year-old Anna Strausser, 21
Park street, and 14-year-old Lucy Bowdre,
of Lower Alblna. Rekdahl furnished $500
ball, and was released until wanted for a
hearing in the Municipal Court. Chrls
tensen was asked to furnish $1000 bail, but
could not do so, and was locked up. The
two girls are detained In the City Jail as
witnesses.
Shortly before Anna Strausser was
taken- in charge by the police she stated
that she and Lucy Bowdre' went Into
Christenson's saloon last Friday night of
their own accord.
"I did not wish to enter the plaee, but
the, other girl persuaded me," .proceeded
Anna. "Chrlstensen and Ben Rekfiahl
were there, and they gave us whisky and
beer until we were intoxicated. Then
they took us upstairs to a room' .and
locked the door. The men afterward left
us, and about 5 o'clock the next morning
two strange young men broke Into the.
room, but wereslsted them," dressed our
selves and went away. I have 'told my
mother about my trouble."
The' police say that other arrests will,'
follow.

Sufferers from 'this horrible malady
nearly always inherit 'it not necessarily
from the parents, but may be from some
remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs
through several generations. This deadly
poison may lay dormant in the blood for
years, or until you reach middle life, then
the' first little sore or ulcer makes its ap-
Eearance or a swollen gland in the
reast, or some other part of the body,
gives the first warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly end perma
nently all the poisonous virus must be
eliminated from the blood every vestage
of it driven out. This S. S. S. does, and
is the only medicine that can reach deep
seated, obstinate blood troubles like this.
When all the poison has been forced out
of the system the Cancer heals, and the
disease never returns.
Cancer begins often in a small way, as the
following letter from Mrs. Shirer shows :
A small pimple carsc on my law about an inch
below the ear on the left side of my face. It gave
me no pain or lnconvcn
eincc, and I should have
forgotten about it had it
not begun to inflame and
Itch; it would bleed a
little, then scab over, but
would not heal. Thia
continued for some t kne,
when my jaw began to
swell, becoming very
painful. The Cancer be
gan to est and spread,
until it was as large as a
half dollar. when I heard
of S. S S. and determin
ed to give it a fair trial,
and it was lemarkable
wnat n wonaenui euect x
it had from the very beginning ; the sore began to
heal and after taking a few bottles disappeared
entirely This was two ycar3 ago ; the: e are still
