THE MORNING OBEGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, "APRIL 17, 1901. BIG WEST COAST CARGO ""TARFIEMJ CARRIED 4400 IiOXG TOXS OF WHEAT FOR. CALIiAO. Fine Business "With. 2ffew Territory- 2tonxnontb.shlre" Wonderful Sec- ord Gertrud Made Fast Run. The largest cargo of -wheat that was fcver cleared from a. North Pacific port -for- the -west coast of South America was fiispatched yesterdaj' for Callao, Peru, by Balfour, Guthrie & Co. on the Brit ish steamship "Warfleld. The cargo -was but up in sacks holding- nearly lour bushels each, and totaled 164,338 bushels, valued at $98,604. The wheat was a very Choice grade of hluestem of the same tjuallty as was shipped on the steamer Robert Adamson and the British bark Cralglsla, which also went to the west coast of South America. Heretofore when there has been a crop failure In that portion of the country Australia has been depended on to supply the 'shortage, but as no finer wheat ever "went out of Australia than was shipped " bn the three cargoes mentioned, this port will undoubtedly secure more of this business In the future. The freight rates to the west coast are about a third lower than the rate around the Horn to Europe, and, accord ingly, any wheat disposed of in that quarter will command better prices than that which must "be shipped to Europe. The combined cargoes of the three ships dispatched by Balfour, Guthrie & Co. totaled 362.000 bushels of wheat. The steamship Condor also went to the west coast of South America with a cargo of flour. MADE A FIXE RECORD. Monmouthshire Steamed """early 250, OOO Miles. The steamship Monmouthshire arrived down from Astoria shortly before noon yesterday, and will cross out today on her long Journey for Europe. "When the steamer passed out of the harbor Mon day Captain Kennedy gave a farewell . signal with the big siren on the steam er, and a crowd of her admirers, as well as friends of the officers, watched her departure with regret, as she will prob ably never return to this port, the trade having reached proportions too great for vessels of her size. On the way down the river a boat drill wis given which was a surprise to parties on board. In exactly one minute and fif teen seconds after the signal the boats of the first and second officer were swung out from the davits ready to lower away. The third officer's boat was out in 1 minutes, and the chief engineer's boat in less than two mln tites. The Monmouthshire has made a fine record on the route between Portland and Hong Kong. Since her first appear ance In this trade she has made 20 round trips, and has steamed a total of 245.400 miles, at an average speed of 1L5 knots per hour. Except when storms of un usual severity were encountered, her time of arrival could be calculated al most to the hour. The fastest time ever made by a silk shipment from the Ori ent to New Tork was on the Monmouth shire on the ocean part of the route. The popularity of the good old ship was much enhanced by the men in charge of her, and Captain Kennedy and his genial officers made a host of friends In this port, who will give them a right rosral welcome whenever they return, as they probably will in a larger but not a more popular ship than the good old Mon mouthshire. GERTRUD'S FAST RUN. Disabled Ship Came Near a Record Rnn After Being: Repaired. The -German ship Gertrud, Which put into San Francisco leaking after encoun tering a severe storm soon after leaving the Columbia River last November, made a remarkable run from San Francisco. "She was delayed in the California port 16 days, and after her repairs were com pleted sailed for Europe again December .28. From the California port to Falmouth occupied but 101 days, a trip which places the vessel in very fast company. Her trip, including the time lost for repairs tand in getting in and out of San Fran cisco, was but 132 days from the Colum bla, which is but two days more than the average passage. The Gertrud arrived at Falmouth two days ahead of the British bark Portia, which sailed over six weeks .ahead of her. The Portia was the last of the October fleet to arrive out, and was ITS days on the way. FLEET NEARLY READY. All but One or Two Ships Secured Full Crews of Sailors. All but one or two ships have secured full crews of sailors. The British bark Buteshire, which has been waiting for sailors longer than any of the other ships in port, completed her crew yesterday, and will leave down the river today. The Algburth will probably secure the remain der of her crew today or tomorrow, and the trouble will be over for the present. It is something unusual for such a large fleet of ships to assemble here during one of the Spring months, and the fleet clear ing since April 1 required crews aggre gating 400 men. Some of these men re mained with the ships, but the allure mentsfof life on Shote were too great for most of them, ajnifthey struck out for the canneries, logging camps and railroad camps, where easier work and better food awaited them. WILL NOT PAY. British Underwriters Refuse to Liquidate Losses. The British underwriters have refused "to settle losses on the British ships Cape "Wrath and Rathdown until the findings of the Board of Trade Inquiry are made known, although both of the vessels liave been posted as missing at Lloyd's. The Andreda has also been posted as missing, but It is not Tcnown what ac vtion" the underwriters will take regard ting her. It is a difficult matter to un derstand the position of the underwrit ers in the case of some of the recent wrecks. They refused to piy the rein surance on the Otto Gildemeister be--cause she was saved, and now they are refusing to pay the original insurance km the Cape Wrath and Rathdown be cause they were lost without leaving eye-witnesses to the occurrence. Shipwrecked Sailors Rescued. ST. JOHNS. N. F., April 16 The seal ing steamer Greenland arrived here this '.morning, having rescued 194 members of vcrew of the sealing steamer Hope, which 'was wrecked on Bryon Island, in the Gulf of St, Lawrence. All are well. The Hope was broken up by the furious gales, but ,hor cargo of 5000 seals was saved. Monmouthshire Sails Today. ASTORIA, April 16. The steamship .Monmouthshire, which arrived down the Tiver today, is taking on 150 tons of coal, and will leave tomorrow morning. Marine Notes. The British ship Talus, the latest ar rival in port, commenced loading wheat yesterday. The County of Pembroke has .about half of her flour cargo aboard. These two vessels and the Wegi are about all that remains unfinished in port. The steamship Adato will be turned over to her new charterers, TV. R, Grace .& Co., at Portland, and not at San Fran idsco, as originally Intended. "While no cargo has been engaged for her, It Is tprobable that something will be taken from -this port. "Messrs." Edwards and Fuller vesterday 'Inspected the steam ferry W. S. Mason. They will inspect the new cannery-tender North King today. The North King Is the new boat built for the Portland & Alaska Packing Company to be used In Alaska waters. She will sail for the north next week. Domestic and Forelsrn Ports. ASTORIA, Or., April 16.

Proposal of the Morgan Syndicate Will Be Considered nt Bos ton Today. OMAHA. Neb., April 16. G. "W. Hold redge, general manager of the Burlington & Missouri River Railroad, has returned from Chicago, where he was called Fri day for a consultation on railroad mat ters, one of which was the relation be tween the present owners of the Burling ton and the Hill-Morgan syndicate, which tMHHHtMMMMHHMHHKMHMH -0 ft ONE OF THE FIRST SETTLERS IN MALHEUR COUNTY. tr ,ii .i Tomwuiwii tu i iriBTT'nu.iijL . i 1. 1 mi " &&$& liiiill " i - -- v$,-:-s &&r ' '' " ' ' ' 'ftlfe""K'MKIS ;,' , "''ftfifltfl - '' 'i ' " Z""X '"' -" - " s vlmm - - - Jt S ' - ,- A wmwmmfmmmTmmmmsmmmmm&amBmmmwmmKmWm&mtBxmmmnsmmmmm THE LATE JOHN B. M'LAUGHLIN. t ONTARIO, April 10. John B. M cLaughlln, who died at his home near here March 20, aged 74' years, was one of the first settlers, in Malheur County. Prob ably no man was better known nor more highly respected. Air. McLaughlin crossed the plains to California In 1S53. The next year he came to Malheur County, where he resided up to the time of; his death. He was. a charter mem ber of Acacia Lodge, No. 118, A. F. & A,. M under whoso, auspices he was burled at Vale. The attendance at his funeral was one ,of the -largest ever, seen in this section. A wife and -three children survive him. , --- has been negotiating for the purchase of tho Burllneton. "I understand," said, Mr. Holdredge, "the directors will have a meeting lit Boston this week, probably Thursday, at -which time the matter of the transfer of owner ship will be talked over. If that deal goes through, there will be no change in the management of the road, as I understand the situation. There may be some change in the board of directors, but the execu tive and operating departments of the road will remain the same, and the busi ness will be conducted just as it has been, so far as the public is concerned. "The Burlington will remain an inde pendent road, retain its own Identity, and pursue the same policy. No change in any of the officials is expected, though the new Interests probably will have rep resentation on the board of directors. "It Is my understanding that the pro posal from the Hill-Morgan syndicate is for the exchange of stock for new 3 bonds, but I do not know at what figure the stock Is to be exchanged. E. H. Har rlman, as I understand the deal, has noth ing to do with it, but the proposition comes from other interests. 'The recall of the surveyors from Wyo ming is of no significance, for their work Is about completed there. We have not abandoned that work, nor has the decision been reached that the extension will be made." Close of the Bnrlington Deal. CHICAGO, April 16. The Tribune to morrow will say:. J. J. Hill, before leaving St. Paul for the West, announced the success of the long-pending deal for the control of the Burlington railway. He said he had con cluded negotiations for the purchase of the Burlington system, and added: "There are no changes in our relations with the St. Paul-Chicago line. We mere ly wanted the Burlington for a St Louis and Kansas City feeder." Mr. Hill denied the report that the Burlington deal meant the establishment of a transcontinental system, with the Erie as an Eastern outlet. He said that the Erie would 'not be a part of a trans continental line, and. that the Erie would be free from alliances. Barling-ton Meeting Today. BOSTON, April 16. President Harris, of the Chicago, Burlington & Qulncy Rail road, arrived here today to attend the reg ular meeting of the directors, which will be held here tomorrow. It is generally understood the question of consolidating the Burlington with the Great Northern and Northern Pacific will be taken up. No one connected officially with the Burling ton will say a word about the deal, nor admit that any proposal will be consid ered tomorrow. " Bnrlington Extension in Wyoming, SHERIDAN, Wyo., April 16. It has been decided to extend the Taluca line of the Burlington to-Cody City, Instead of the Meeteetse, as has been reported. Con tracts have been let for the grading of the uncompleted eight milth of the lines between Eagle's Nest and Cody. TRANSCONTINENTAL ASSOCIATION May Prevent Epworth Lcagrners Returning by Northern Lines. DEL MONTE, Cal., April 16. The Trans continental Passenger Association opened a week's meeting here this afternoon. About 50 members are in attendance. The chairman of the association, James Charl ton, is presiding. The association em braces all the transcontinental lines west of Chicago, except the three' northern roads the Canadian Pacific, the Northern Pacific and Great Northern railways. One of the most Important questions to be discussed during the meeting relates to these three lines in connection with mat ters of rates for the coming Epworth League convention In San Francisco. The rates were fixed some time ago by the association lines," and the Intention Tvas "to" give -the northe'rn lines -the-benefit of the convention by sending a -part of the j return travel over their roads. The north ern lines, however, have made a rate of $45 from Missouri River points to Tacoma and Seattle, covering the dates of the Ep worth convention, and the association roads are considering the question of oft setting this action by withdrawing from their tickets the return privilege over the northern roads. After organization today, the chairman appointed a committee of three A. F. Merrill, of the Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul; "W. A. Taylor, of the Burlington, and John Scott, of the Union Pacific, to go over the docket and devise means of coverlngthe work of the present session so as to dispose of it in the shortest time possible. The association also authorized the sale of special-rate tickets for the launching of the battle-ship Ohio, at San Francisco, next month, to Governor Nash, of Ohio, and party. . This was done be cause the general sale, from, points East occurs In May, too late to be of use to Governor Nash, If he carries out the pres- t !, ---o--"-fr-- -r-o j ent plan of joining President McKInley here. ' ' STRIKES AT GREAT NORTHERN Effort to Break IJp Orange Shipments via Seattle. The Southern Pacific and Santa Fo roads have joined with the Pacific Coast Steamship Company In a rate on oranges from Southern California points to Seat tle, with the understanding that the rates apply to local shipments to Seattle only. The roads made this agreement some time ago, but when they saw that the ship ments taking the rate were being dis patched over the Great Northern to St. Paul, they withdrew. Later the steamship company gavo assurance that the joint rates, if restored, would not be used to facilitate Eastern shipments via 'Seattle and the rates were again put into effect. The San Francisco Chronicle says that the Southern California Exchange wll not abandon the Seattle route for orange shipments to the Eastern markets, as the Great Northern stands ready to absorb the rate from the Southern California shipping point to Seattle, whether that rate be a joint xate .or the sum of the local rail and ocean charges. If the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe succeed in collecting their arbitrary local rates from the shipping point' to the, seaboard, the Great Northern men can still afford to absorb this rate and accept shipments at Undigested, decaying food remnants, in the mouth and stomach, giving off pestiferous gases, are the cause of that awful breath, so repulsive as to cause a halt in friendship, affection, love, any form of intimacy.

ANOTHER ROAD TO EL PASO. New Line Will Be a Connection of the Mexican Central. NEW YORK, April 16. The Times says: A broker connected with the Stow inter ests in the Mexican Central Railway Com pany announced that those interests held about 265,000 shares out of the total of 450,000 of that company, and that they will effect a change In the management of that road at the annual meeting on May 1. In addition to this It was stated on the same authority that the head office of the company will be removed from Boston to this city. In reply to a question as to the future of the road, and whether It would be op erated In conjunction with any other sys tem, the broker . said that that had not been determined yet, adding, "there Is an other road going Into El Paso aa well as the Rock Island. People don't realize It, but this Is a day of surprises." The efforts of President Robinson and Others to obtain sufficient proxies to con trol the annual meeting have ended. It was said, and that new Interests were now in a position to take hold of the manage ment of the property. HE MADE FOUR MILLIONS. Hill Sells Oat His Erie and B. & o. Stoclc.n. ST. PAUL, April 16. If was reported what are usually well-informed railroad circles today that James J. Hill, of the Great Northern, has disposed of his Balti more & Ohio and Erie stocks, and that the operation has netted him J4,000,OCO. The stocks. It Is said, were bought, by Mr. Hlllvslmply as a speculation, and It was never contemplated to make either of the roads a factor In a transcontinental sys tem, as has been repeatedly reported. The fact that Mr. Hill had purchased stocks of these roads had the effect of greatly enhancing the value of the shares. Wall street at once jumped to the conclusion that gigantic combinations were being formed In which one or the other of these roads was to be a component part. It Is pointed out that Mr. Hill has always per sistently denied these rumors and has ctntarl fVinf Vile nitrnhnoft nf VA clnolf Tian ffl,llJlJ A.UA All , tdilli;,, L J.11U (IllljiJV' ment now having shown what he consid ers a sufficient margin of profit, he has disposed of his entire holding?. tto Ft c?!vta1.t f?v lniAawiiin nPVio Ini'nat- Refused to Pnss a Chnrtcr. OTTAWA, Ont., April 16. The Senate committee today refused to pass the Alaska & .Northwestern Railway charter for a road from Pyramid Harbor to Daw son City. The government still main tains Its positiqn to refute all charters In that direction until the railway policy of the administration has been reached, so far as the Yukon Is concerned. Railroad Notcx. H. H. O'Reilly, for four years cashier of the passenger department of the O. Rf & N. Company, has rerlgned to accept a position with the Oregon Round Lum ber Company. He has been succeeded by II. H. Hoyt, formerly advertising agent, who has In turn been succeeded by A. C. Martin. The Oj R. & N. Company announced yesterday a rate of full fare and a third for round trip between Portland and points In Oregon, and Walla Walla. Wabh., for the reunion of the Oregon ;Pionecrs, which will be held In Portland in June. The rate will be good for twelve days. MARU IN A STORM. Japanese Steamship Had a Rongli Trip to the Orient. SAN FRANCISCO, April 16. Reports ,'have been received that the steamer Nip pon Maru, which sailed from this city for the Orient February 19, had an ex ceedingly rough experience at sea. Hur ricanes prevailed during almost the en tire voyage. Great waves carried away much of the lighter gearing forward. On one day four Japanese sailors wore In jured by the waves, one of them sufferlne the fracture of two ribs, the bones pene trating the lungs and causing probably fatal Injuries. The following day two more Japanese were knocked down by boarding waves and seriously bruised. March 5 the seas were breaking over the bridge and waves were breaking over the steamer fore and aft. March 9, the day before reaching Yokohama, the Iron rail on the port side of the saloon deck was carried away. One of the passengers from San Francisco was John Goodnow, Consul-General to Shanghai.

Senator Piatt, of Connecticut, Talks of His Amendment and Condi tions In the Island. NEW YORK, April 16. Senator Orville H. Piatt, of Connecticut, author of what Is known as the Piatt amendment, relat ing to Cuba. Is at the Murray Hill Hotel. In an Interview last night he said: "The real essence of the propositions of this government Is that the Cubans recognize the right of the United States to maintain the Independence of Cuba and the stability of Its government. That right, once being recognized by the Cuban Constitution, there will be no trouble about the enforcement. AH will be plain sailing. "The property-owners and the conser vative classes in Cuba almost unanimous ly desire the protection of this Govern ment; those opposed to It do not count for much. "Most of the people in this country do not understand the real feeling in Cuba. The news reports from Havana have been very conflicting. They are al most as untrustworthy as the dispatches from China last year about the Boxer In troubles. A few days ago the Piatt amendment was reportpd defeated In the Cuban Constitutional Convention by a vote of 24 to 2. A little later the vote f was elven as 18 to 10.
