CYPROMENE COMING HERE
BRITISH: SHIP RECEIVED ORDERS
OFF SAX FRAXCSCO HEADS.
Wet Const Kitrate Porta Are Sup
plying Portland. Exporters "With.
ConaicleraDle Ballast Tonuoge.
The British ship Cypromene arrived off
San Francisco heads-yesterday morning
and was given orders instructing her to
proceed to Portland to load -wheat. The
Cypromene comes from PIsagua on the
west coast of South America, and is the
fifteenth vessel to come up from those
ports to Portland for a wheat cargo. It
has been nearly ten years since a fleet
of ships as large as this has come up
from the west coast, although In the early
days of the business here that was the
main point of supply from which Port
land exporters drew their stocks of bal
last tonnage. Three years ago the situ
ation was reversed and ships left the Co
lumbia in ballast to load at the nitrate
ports. One or two others are coming
along behind the Cypromene from west
coast ports, and If nitrate freights con
tinue low. there will be many more com
ing in this direction.
Fixtures for nitrate are being made
around 22s 3d and 23s Si, and in the old
days when the nitrate business was a con
trolling factor in grain freights, a differ
ential of 10 shillings per ton was always
demanded when a vessel was sent North.
This figure, if In force now, makes grain
freights 32s Sd to 33s 9d, but no one has
succeeded in getting any ships at this fig
ure as yet. The failure to get them at
these figures is perhaps due to the fact
that there is a much smaller supply of
ballast tonnage available from the Orient.
Steam has driven sailers out of many
trades in the Orient and the sailers And
profitable business elsewhere, Australia,
with a big wheat crop, offering consider
able business lor tnem just now.
SHIPBUILDING TRUST.
Combine Which Will Take In Five
of Larjrest Plants.
NEW YORK. May L The Herald says:
At a meeting held in this city yesterday
an agreement was reached which will
bring under one management five of the
great shipbuilding concerns In this coun
try. "What Is of greater consequence to
Kew York and to the owners of ships
this port Is to have a drydock larger
than any other in the world, which will
take In any ship now afloat or under con
struction. Capital sufficient for the enterprise Is
already assured. In order that outside
influence may not obtain control it has
been provided that no bonds shall be is
sued. Capital stock amounting to $5,000,
000 will be issued and a syndicate has al
ready been formed to -underwrite the en
tire amount. H. E. Huntington, nephew
of the late C. P. Huntington, It is said,
is to be president of the new concern.
Irving H. Scott, president of the Union
Iron Works, of San Francisco, will be
the vice-president and he will have much
to do with the management.
First Sngrar Steamer.
PHILADELPHIA, May 1. The first
American steamship to come direct from
the Hawaiian Islands to this city with a
cargo of sugar was the steamship Call
fornlan, which arrived last night from
Honolulu and Hilo with 7920 tons of raw
sugar, grown in the new American pos
session. The Callfornlan's run was over
15,000 miles, having been via the Straits of
Magellan. She left Hawaii In February
last and stopped at Chile, St. Lucia and
Norfolk to supply her bunkers with coal.
The Callfornlan Is the pioneer vessel of
a new line of steamships which will ply
between New York and Philadelphia and
the Hawaiian Islands.
Its Jonrner Nearly Finished.
- ASTORIA, Or.. May L The lightship is
now within 200 feet of Baker's Bay, and
is being Tepalred as rapidly as possible,
hut tho work is delayed somewhat by the
scarcity of ship carpenters. Allen & Rob
erts expect to launch the vessel on May
19, when there will be a 10-foot tide. The
ship will then be brought over to Astoria
and the final repairs made here.
Cleared for Alaska.
ASTORIA, May L The schooner R. W.
Bartlett cleared at the Custom-House to
day for Bristol Bay, Alaska, with can

Packing Company and the Portland-Alaska
Packers' Association. She will leave
out tomorrow.
Marine Notes.

POLICEMEN FROM THIEVES.
Chinese "Way of Utilizing? an Old, Old
Proverb.
Leslie's Weekly.
The highest Qualification thatta police
man can have is that he is an expert
thief. He has been trained in schools of
thieves, and can detect in every burglary
or outrage by its details to which school
of crime the perpetrator belongs. But he
is only a. thief wearing official clothes, and
he merely catches enough thieves to save
himself a beating, and then he selects
strangers or those who Have failed to give"
him his proper share of the plunder from
his own district. When a police officer
has made his "deal" with a thief or gang
nothing short of awful tortures by his
superiors, the local magistrates and
Judges, will cause the policeman to cap
ture the gang who are making his fortune
as well as their own.
In certain towns, not 30 II from Pekln,
live some highly respected men of wealth,
noted for their correct lives, their virtue
and probity. Their houses are castles,
and they have many servants. Once or
twice a year they go to visit their friends
In Pekln. During their brief stay are
committed some daring and successful
robberies, always In the houses of the
rich, and articles of great value are taken.
The victims are peacefully drugged by the
perfume of a burning anesthetic, which
the thief avoids by filling his mouth with
cold water and taking little breath.
Quickly, by the aid of his fire-pan, he
locates the gold and precious stones. and
then he vanishes Into the night and leaves"
no trace to the vulgar gaze of his coming
and going.
These are the great thieves, and they
are rarely caught. They work alone, and
in evil deeds they follow the Scriptural
advice. "Let not thy left hand know what
thy right Is doing." I asked a Chinese
magistrate why the police did -not pay a
visit to the palaces of those great men of
probity and virtue. But he shook his
head. It would be a rash thing to do.
There are stories that when the police
have tried they either found nothing but
an indignant man of such virtue that his
outclres alarmed the neighborhood and
the minions of the law had to flee, or
every policeman disappeared, and rumor
has it that the castle courtyard in that
village is their tomb.
FOREST RANGERS.
About Forty-five "Will Be Employed
in Oregon Again This Season.
WASHINGTON, April 26. The usual
Summer force of forest rangers to protect
the forest reserves of Oregon and "Wash
ington will be taken on the payroll about
June 1, as In seasons past, and will be
retained through the dry Summer months.
The force this year will be about the
same size as thatv which was employed
last Summer, and In making the appoint
ments, due preference will be given to
those who were employed as rangers in
past seasons, provided their service was
satisfactory. There will be from 45 to 50
rangers In both Oregon and Washington.
Inasmuch as this force was competent
properly to guard the forests against fires
and depredations a year ago, there Is
now no apparent necessity for making
any increase in numbers.
The total number of rangers employed
on all the reserves last Summer, tho
highest number yet authorized, was 445.
They were under the direction of nine
superintendents and 39 supervisors. This
Is an Increase of 95 In the number of
rangers over the preceding year, when
many disastrous fires occurred, and
burned considerable areas before they
were extinguished.
The total appropriation for forest pro
tection for the fiscal year beginning July
1, like that for the current year, is $300,
000. There is every reason to believe that
this sum will provide all the forest rang
ers that are required during the dry sea
son. It is stated at the land office that
the administration of the past year was
entirely satisfactory, the force ample, and
that it was the first year when the re
serves were adequately patrolled. Except
In Southern forests, where there Is a pro
longed dry season, the rangers will be re
tained but a few months, as has been
the custom heretofore.

CONDITIONS IN JAPAN
CONSUL-GENERAL E. C. BELLOWS
DISCUSSES THEM.
Scarcity of Money and Dullness of
Markets Contribute to Make
Situation Alarming.
WASHINGTON, April 23. The appre
hension which has been felt by many per
sons who have watched the financial and
commercial conditions of Japan Is fully
confirmed by a recent statement made by
Consul-General E. C. Bellows, 'of Yoko
hama, an ex-resldent of "Vancouver,
Wash. The enormous expense of main
taining the large army contemplated by
warlike Japanese .statesmen, together
with other heavy expenditures, has caused
many who have taken an Interest In
Japan's future to wonder how It would be
possible to make ends meet. The country
has been sending too much money abroad
and, as shown by Consul Bellows,' the
balance of trade Is decidedly on the wrong
side. In his report Consul-General Bel
lows says:
"The financial condition of Japan Is it
present far from encouraging, and her
bankers, statesmen, and business men are
exerting every effort to avert a pending
panic. The situation, as analyzed by the
shrewdest financiers and statesmen of the
empire, shows that the Chinese Indemnity
secured at the close of the Japan-China
War. together with large national loans,
led to the exploiting of many public and
private undertakings which caused money
to be unusually plentiful among the coolie,
or laboring classes. This Induced extrava
gant methods of living and is assigned
as a potent factor In the large Increase of
Imports. The amount of Indemnity paid
by China proved insufficient for the enter
prises projected, and many millions were
diverted from the customary channels of
trade to "carry forward these undertak
ings.
"The large Increase in Imports was un
fortunately accompanied by a falling off
in exports during the past year," occa
sioned by the Interruption of the Chinese
trade, and a decreased demand for silk !
and habutal In America and Europe, so j
that last year the relation of exports to ,
imports stood In the ratio of live ro
six. and ,000 000 yen (S24.900.C00) passed out
of the country to settle Japan's ba'anc
of trade. This large outflow of specie led
the Bank uf Japan to raise Its rate cf
Interest, produced a glut of merchandise
in the godowns of the Importers, and
caused a pronounced depreciation of
stocks, bonds and securities.
"The scarcity of money for commercial
and Industrial purposes Is all the more
keenly felt because of the steadv rise
In T?rlce of all living expenses, wh'ch hive
Increased during the last few years over
75 per cent.
"Foreign capital declines to enter the
Japanese market, although tempted by
flattering rates of Interest The govern
ment's recent effort to float a foreign
loan has not proven a success,, while
school and municipal bonds, based upon
safe security, are rendered undesirable
to foreigners because of the faulty regu
lations and conditions attending their Is
sue. "Both foreign and native banks decline
loans on personal credit, and at the close
of 1899, the total paid-up capital of the
banks of the empire, exclusive of the
"Bank of Japan, was $113,000,000. while at
the same time they were carrying loans
based on concrete security to the amount
of $125,250,000, distributed as follows:
Lands and houses, $50,500,000: goods. $5.
250,000: public bonds, $23,500,000. From this
It will be seen that the banks have tied
up in concrete investments a larger sum
than their total paid-up capital, and Min
ister Watanabe observes that this fact
is largely responsible for the present em
barrassment felt In business circles.
"The president of the Bank of Japan,
at the last annual meeting of the share
holders, said:
Throughout the year under review (1900), the
specie reserve of the bank steadily dwindled
monh after month, the excess of imports over
exports and a financial panic In Shanghai,
owing to the Boxer trouble, all contributing to
bring about this regrettable result. The de
pletion of specie and he Increased demand for
money occasioned by the Chinese trouble ne
cessitated the bank's Issuing notes beyond the
prescribed limits In June and the succeeding
months.
"The closeness of the money market,
combined with the dullness of trade -and
violent fluctuations of prices, Is causing
much alarm among merchants, manu
facturers and hankers, and more failures
CLIO AiUlUlUbUM .
Under date of March 1, Mr. Bellows-
sends, In continuation of the above, the
following extract from a recent Issue of
the Japan Times:
The market last year was sluggish, but this
year It Is at a dead standstill. In Osaka, all
kinds of Industry testify to their unhappy con
dition in the thinned columns of smoke rising
from the factory chimneys. Every sort of
textile goods and foreign Ironware has had a
poor sale. Dealers In silks and cotton goods
declare that they have never experienced such
a miserable time during the past 20 years.
The fact that the price of rice Is low, not
withstanding the fact that the crop of last
year was not so good as was estimated at
first, made farmers store their rice, and con
sequently diminished their purchasing power,
so that depression Is felt In the provinces.'

Why He Looked That, Way.
New York Sun.
The Colonel and the man from Arkan
sas -were telling tales about each other's
states the other night In an uptown hotel
much frequented by Southerners. The
man from Arkansas had been having the
best of It, but the Colonel's turn came at
last.
"There was a poor devil down In oah

It was justlfiable-perfectly justifiable.
Well, the Sheriff looked at It the right
way an he told the poor devil that they'd
give him a good show to escape. All he
would have to do would be to cross the
line Into Arkansas an stay there a while
until the talk blew over. Well, suh that
poor devil jest gpt down on his knees.
s 'No, Sheriff, says he, 'don't let me

"Ah knew a conductor on a train run

one day a passenger says to him, 'Kin

Street Signs in New York.
Springfield Republican.
As New York City- Is rather worse oft
than many cities In the matter of street
signs. It Is Interesting to note that after
years of agitation by the newspapers an
ordinance to place such signs at every
street corner has been Introduced Into the
municipal assembly. This ordinance Is re
markable In placing upon the private citi
zen who happens to own a. corner lot the
trouble and expense of putting up a public
sign-board as If It were his personal duty
to' inform wayfarers of their whereibouts.
The simple and direct way would be for
the municipality to fulfill Its duty, as It
never has. although there are statutes
enough, by Itself placing such signs at
every corner of the city. There Is a large
support tor this present measure among
business men of many sorts, and yet it Is
safe to say that If It be passed. New York
streets will be In a few years no better
Indicated than they are now.
Flares need a good deal more water aa
the days grow longer and warmer than
they do In midwinter.
"Tnmso rratcful to vou for vour ad
vice," savs Sirs. Sidney B. Oakcs, of
Whitmcli; rittsylvania Co., Va. " When
I commenced your medicines I had been
treated by different doctors for three
months or more, but would only receive
partial relief for a short virile and then
would be worse than before. Was con
fined to my bed most of the time. At
the time I commenced your treatment
nvy left side was completely paralyzed.
Had no desire to eat anything; bowels
costive all the time. Nerves were all
ttnstntng, so I could not bear the least
noise. I also suffered from diseased
ovaries and female vi akness. But thanks
to my Maker and ou, after, following
your advice, I am able to do nil my wash
ing, sewing and house work in general.
I haven't had a spasm in two months,
left off medicines about one month
ago. Didn't think it necessary to con
tinue them longer. I have taken about
seven bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, seven of the 'Golden
Medical Discovery,' and two vials of
' Pleasant Pellets.' I heartily recommend
those medicines to all suffering as I was."

A FEW FACTS
About the New Catarrn Care.
The new Catarrh Cure Is a new depar
ture In so-called catarrh cures because it
actually cures, and is not simply a tem
porary relief.
The new Catarrh Cure is not a salve,
ointment, powder nor liquid, but a pleas
ant tasting tablet containing the best
specifics for catarrh In a concentrated,
convenient form.
The old style of catarrh salves and
ointments are greasy, dirty and Incon
venient at the best; the new preparation
being in tablet form Is always clean and
convenient.
The new Catarrh Cure Is superior to
catarrh powders because it te a notorious
fact that many catarrh powders contain
cocaine.
The new Catarrh Cure is called Stu
art's Catarrh Tablets, a wholesome
combination of blood tTOOt, beachwood
tar, guaiacol and other antiseptics, and
cures by its action upon the blood and
mucous membrane, the only rational
treatment for catarrhal trouble.
You do not have to draw upon your
Imagination to discover whether you are
getting benefit from Stuart's Catarrh
j parent from the first tablet taken.
I All druggists sell and recommend them.
j They cost but 50 cents for full sized
packages, and any catarrn sunerer wno
has wasted time and. money on sprays,
salven and powders, will appreciate to the
full the merit of Stuart's Catarrh Tab
