Freislit Market-I'w-Dnll Reinsurance Speculators May Save 'Some of Their Glldemelster Winning:. Ten cargoes in 10 days is pretty good work for a wheat port In the dull sea son, but tout Is the record for Portland for the first 10 days of April, and the wheat and flour shipments for the-iirst third of the month will reach a total of SS3.S75 bushels. Two cargoes finished loading yesterday, the Kate Thomas' and the HuthwelL making nine grain ships, while, the steamship. Universe which got away for the -"Orient. crned a. full cargo of flour, Tb"-Bfcmmouthshire, will finish loading today, and the Thistle about-Sat-urday. The ships are receiving such quick dispatch that the .harbor will be com paratively -bare- Jjy the, middle of the inonthJC Tiie"Stithwell. .-, which, finished, yesterday, was cleared 'in the afternoon by Keft, GifTord & Co., for Queenstown or Falmouth for' -orders, with 76,424 bush els of wheat valuedar $45,554. The Kate Thomas was loaded-bV Balfour, 'Guthrie & Co., but will not clear before today. She carries 95.2S6 bushels' of wheat. THE OVERDUE OTTO. Reinsurance Speculators 3Iay Secure a Portion of Their "Winnings. 'The -San -Francisco Bulletin prints a two-column- account of-the complications' growing but of the reinsurance trouble over the Otto Glldemelster. The Bulletin eays it Is the opinion pf the majority of .shipping men who have seen the ves sel that the condemnation proceedings are unnecessary. That paper further says: -"It is pointed out by several well-Informed shipping men that the condition of the Otto Glldemelster Is nothing like as-i-bad -as is the condition of the Ed jthundr another German ship that is In the harbor for repairs. There Is no talk of condemning the Edmund. TVhy. then, A it Js-asked, is It proposed to condemn the Ottp Glldemelster? "Marine insurance experts remember but one case similar to this of the Glld emeister. In 1894 the British bark In dian Empire, "bound from Australia to .the west coast of South America, was listed as overdue and at one time Teached A the, quotation of S5 per cent. There was heavy betting on her cnance of arriving safely and when the news that she had reached Valparaiso was received the speculators commenced to reckon their profits. But there was a joker in the proposition. The Indian Empire was bound for Callao and had not yet reached lier port of destination. She was dis masted and a movement was at once set on foot to have her condemned. To checkmate this scheme the? men inter ested in the reinsurance end of the deal chartered a tug and had the vessel towed from Valparaiso to Callao and then grinned at the jdpposltlon. "But there was more trouble. At Callao the same project of condemna tion was undertaken and. carried through successfully. As the vessel was thus considered legally a total loss the gamb lers were out rnd Injured. They raised such a howl of indignation, however, that th underwriters compromised by paying them one-half of their winnings. This was not altogether satisfactory, but it was better than nothing and was accepted. "Next to London, San Francisco Is the leading reinsurance market of the world. This city is far and away ahead of the cities of the Atlantic seaboard In this respect and not very far behind the world's great metropolis. Every time a ship is listed on the Merchants' Exchange here as overdue thousands of dollars are placed on her In the form of reinsurance. Counting the sums wagered on the Otto in this city and a few thousands put up at Portland, the amount the speculators stood to win is over ?115,0W. It Is not to be expected that this amount will be per mitted to vanish into thin air without an effort being made to retain some of it, ' and there may be some Interesting legal fights grow out of the condemna tion of the big German bark." SAVED BY THE FULWOOD. Seven Shipwrecked Chinese "Who " "" " "Were Clinging: to a Spar. ASTORIA, Or., April 10. The British ship Fulwood, which arrived in port last night from Hong Kong, was released from quarantine this morning. The passage was a severe one. A suc cession of gales was encountered and also a typhoon off the Japanese coast, but no damage was done - to the vessel nor was any member of the crew in - Jured. January 17. when 35 miles off Breaker Point on the south coast of China the vessel sighted an object in the water. "With the aid of his marine glasses Captain Thomas made out the object to be a spar with several people clinging to it. A strong northeast gale was blowing and the sea was running high. The captain called for a volun teer crew to go to the rescue and Second Mate Thomas and six men quickly re sponded. One of the small boats was lowered. It was gone over two hours and at times the lookout at the masthead lost sight of it altogether. After a heroic fight the boat returned to the vessel with five Chinamen aboard. The Celes tials were members of a crew of 11 of a fishing junk that had capsized at 4 o'clock that morning. The others had been drowned in their bunks. The Chi namen were thoroughly exhausted but warm food and clothing soon revived them. Captain Thomas did not wish to bring the Chinamen to America nor to meet with the delay and expense of returning to Hong Kong. He decided to keep his "vessel in that vicinity In the hope of finding a Chinese fishing junk, as he knew that there were many which frequented those waters. After five days the storm subsided and a number of fishing junks were seen coming out from the shore and on one of these the rescued fisher men were placed. They were extremely graveful to their saviors and before leaving the vessel expressed. In panto mime. by touching their foreheads on the deck, their appreciation of the kind ness shown them. After this the trip was uneventful. "FREIGHTS ARE DULL. DJsengrnged Steamer and Sailing; Vessel on the Spot List. Portland wheat exporters now have the opportunity to test the strength of the freight market on both steam and sail vessels. The British ship Fulw6od, which could have secured 40 shillings or better while she was en Toute from Hong Kong, Is now on the spot free list, and is looking for business. The last fixture of a spot ship in the Northwest was the Senator, on Puget Sound, at .36s 3d, and 'there Is a possibility that the Fulwood -Tmight accept a similar rate, although some of the exporters state that she is not .worth over 35 shillings. The steam ship Adato, which arrived In 'from the "Orient, is .also looking for business, and . would .probably jake a reasonable rate, Tut her owners have, not yet signified what they would- consider a proper fig ure. On Puget Sound, the Lynton and Ly derhorn are still on the free list and the .loss to their owners -by the decline of freights cannot be much less than $10,000. Both of diem are enormous earners and are" not desirable ship's tb handle" so late in the season. The situation is so differ ent "from that, of "a year -ago that ex- . porters are .not chariering-for'ne.w season loading, except-on" avery limited scaled They have not taken one-fourth-the num- : "berT ships for "new-crop loading that wxrfattaketrat"acoTxcspondlng' date' a J year ago, alvhou-jh the crop prospect Is fully as bright as It was at that -time. San Francisco Is weak on freights on account of growing apprehension oyer crop damage and the possibility of con siderable steam tonnage being turned loose within the next six months. Lloyd's Surveyor at Tacoma. G. J. Hill has been appointed Lloyd's surveyor for the Puget Sound district with' headquarters at Tacoma. When the British bark Dunreggan was towed Into Puget Sound In a badly damaged condi tion o few months ago,- Lloyd's -were obliged to send their surveyor, John Met calfe, from San Francisco, to look after her, and the new surveyor is undoubt edly appointed to guard against such emergencies in the future. "With so many wrecks and disasters around the death-haunted shores of Cape Flattery, there is considerable work 'for a ma rine surveyor, and Captain Metcalfe Is kept busy in San Francisco so much of the time that he cannot always get away. The Telephone's "Whistle. The steamer Bailey Gatzert and the Telephone's whistle are back on the Astoria run again, and on the first trip of the pair on Monday there was much excitement along the river. No boat on the river ever had such a whistle as the big chime which heralded the Telephone's oeeft NEW SECRETARY OF STATE GEORGE H. LAMBERSOX. George H. Lamberson, who has been elected -Secretary of the State Board of Horticulture, to serve during Secretary Dosch's absence at the Buffalo exposi tion, Is a practical horticulturist. . He was recently engaged in the business of shipping fruit and produce to Alaska. He was born In Syracuse, N. X., June 2, 1S53, and came to Oregon In 1871. - t - coming by day and, by night, and when the Gatzert was overhauled, Mr. Crich ton thought it would make her run a little faster if he took the whistle off the old Greyhound of the Columbia and used It on the Gatzert- The Gatzert has been late- every trip since she has -used the whistle, but it created a com motion on the lower river, and the dogs howled with delight at every landing be tween the Willamette and the Barbary Coast, when they heard the voice of the old favorite.

PRIMARY ELECTION JESS THREE JiEW LAWS THAT RUN AT CROSS-PURPOSES. Mix-Up Has 'BesrlBK on the Fight Between 'Mitchell and Simon . ' r Factions. It .wlllyrequlre a Philadelphia lawyer to unravel the tangle which the recent Legislature made of primary and general election laws. There are three acts, each of which runs more or less at cross pur poses with the other. Each will have im portant bearing in the final adjudication. The act "governing primary elections In cities of over 10.000 applies the principles of the. Australian ballot and the registry law ttf its operation. It expressly pro vides that it shall '"'not be construed to affect direct nominations without conven tions, or nominations by assemblages of electors, as may be otherwise provided by law." The act was filed In the office of the - Secretary of State, February 28, 1901. It has no emergency clause. "What was known as Senate bill No. HORTICULTURAL BOARD. fr ISO amends the Australian .and registry laws ' and provides for nominations by conventions, assemblages of electors and by Individual petition. It has no emer gency clause. It was filed in the State Department, February 28. The last of the trio of election measures House bill 188 provides for a system of primary elections in counties of 50,000 pop ulation and over, and in such other coun ties as may, by voluntary action, adopt the provisions of the act. This Is what is known as the Morgan bill. The spirit -of 4t is to" make primary nominations the exclusive method of naming candidates for office and conducting political parties. It was filed in the State Department March 1. There was method in this mees of the -r?-rv-i a -- toitre TVi a rif Virtl a ,Vlrr to f Vi a Vs a suit of a well-laid plan of the Mitchell people to get the upper hand of the Simon faction in the Republican primaries next year. That the dominant wing in the re cent session of the Legislature did not want primary reform was shown by the summary manner In which E. W. Bing ham, the apostle of election reform, was turned down. It wanted something that would give it the mastery of the political situation in Multnomah County. There is little expectation that the Morgan Jaw will be held constitutional in the courts. Still, the Mitchell people are not worry ing. They figure that if the law should stand the test, they will have more than an even show with Simon in the prima ries in 1902, and that is what they are looking for. If it is held to be valid, the Mitchell people say, it will repeal, by implication, the law for primary elections in towns of 10,000 and over. If the Morgan law falls, the law for primary, elections in towns of over 10,000 will stand. This, the Mitchell men aver, would suit them, as it would give them a chance to "skin" Simon. The Supreme Court will have a job on Its hands when the Mitchell and Simon factions begin fighting it out on the elec tion laws. These measures were not framed for the Benefit of the dear people, but to give somebody a chance tb "do" somebody else in the distribution of pap. BUILDING BIG. RAFT. "Wliy the Columbia River Is Pre ferred to Puget Sound. The Robertson Raft Company will at once commence the construction of a monster raft of piles at Westport to contain 550,000 linear feet. The cradle for the raft to be built in and two der rick scows to lift the-, piles into the cradle have been ready for a month, but the unusually stormy weather has prevented the cutting and rafting of -the piles, but rafts are now being formed and will be delivered any day now. The piles are to be cut along Beaver Slough, which empties Into the Columbia near Westporf, and the reason for changing the' location of the cradle from Stella to Westport is to avoid towing the rafts of piles up stream. The company had to abandon the scheme of building rafts on Puget Sound on account of the teredo. The piles could be procured cheaper on the Sound, but the teredo would insist on eating up the cradle and in a short time so weaken the structure that if piles were piled in it, down would come "log raft and cradle and all." A man who was employed on the cradle over on the Sound says tr-at the piling of the company's wharf In East Seattle was hulned by the teredo In eight months. The wharves built of the piles sent to San Francisco last only about three years. A wharf built by Hale & Kern at Gray's Harbor In connectlonwjth. their jetty contract there was ruined by" the teredo in three years, and when thenew piles were being driven the old ones broke off like pipe stems or crushed like lamp chimneys, and caused wonder that the 'whole .wharf had not collapsed. Th.6 te redo works about the low-water mark, and tils, appetite. for woqd Is "never sat isfied.'' Any one who will discover -some practicable and not too expensive method of preventing the teredo from destroying schedule is changed, hey will leave for negie ever dreamed of. GILLIAN WILL CONTEST. Mrs. Hall Begins 'Suit for Her Shnre of the Estate. HARTFORD, ConnT, April " 10. Action was begun in the- United Slates Circuit Court here today by Mrs. Helen Potts Hail, of New York, 'for the recovery of her alleged share in the millions of the late George F. Gilman, of Bridgeport. Mrs. Hall declares that she Is the adopt ed daughter of Mr. Gilman, and brings her action through her next friend, her brother, Frank G. Potts, ' against the Bridgeport Trust Company, as adminjatra tor of the Gilman estate, .and against George W. Smith, of Bridgeport, as re ceiver. The bill of compjalnt declares that Mr. Gilman was engaged In the tea business in copartnership with George H. Hartford, and that they had about 200 stores in the United States. .-This part of the complaint Is interesting, because It has been understood that the Bridgeport Trust Company, as administrator, takes tho position that Mr. Hartford was man ager only, and not a -part owner In the tea business. After estimating the value of the estate at more than $1,500,000, the complaint says the property came into Mr6.Hall's possession at the time of Gil man's death, and there remained until she was forcibly ousted by the defend ants. For several years prior to Mr. Gil man's death, continues the complaint, he, having conceived a strong personal regard for Mrs. Hall, adopted her as his daugh ter, and she became a member of his household, rendering to him the obedience of a natural daughter. On or about November 1, 1900, it is al leged Mr. Gilman entered Into an agree ment with Mrs. Hall tha,t If she would continue to live with him as a daughter until his death she would then be entitled to all his property, both real and personal, as fully and to the same extent as if she were his natural daughter. .. - .. i DAILY CITY'STA'TISTICS.
