& THE-JIOENIGOREGONIAV ttfEDNESDAX, mIY 8, 19011 - - T. J. HOTTER LAUNCHED O. E. & JT. CO.'S BIG SIDEWHEELER. AGAIX IS THE "WATER. German Bark H. S. Charlotte "Wins a ' Biff Ocean Race Transport Oopack Coming'. The' O. R. & N. Co.'s elegant side--wheeter T. J. Potter tras launched at the company's yard In North Portland short ly alter S o'clock yesterday morning, and as, she now- floats Is the finest river steamer that ever turned a wheel on the "Willamette or Columbia River. That she will also prove the fastest steamer on the river is not at all improbable. Since she was hauled out a few months ago jjer owners haie spent thousands of dollars In strengthening- and Improving the hull, and enlarging and beautifying her cabins. The launch was one of the prettiest that was ever seen here, xind the big steamer slid off with a rush as soon as the ropes were cut, striking the water on an even keel without a sign of a roll sideways. Ber great weight submerged the hull quite deep for an Instant only, and then, like a duck coming up from a dive, she rose on the water and shook her sides and floated nearly IS Inches higher out of water than when she was hauled out several weeks ago. The hull has been strengthened through out, and while retaining all of the clean cut'llnes -which made great speed possible. has been lightened to such an extent that it offers much less resistance to the water and will show greater speed than ever. A new cabin has been built from the pilot-house aft, the full length of the steamer, and this improvement adds much to the symmetry and beauty of the upper works of the craft. The carpets and in terior furnishings are the finest that have eer been placed in a Columbia River steamer, and when the upholsterers and painters 'are through with her, she will be ahead of anything that ever turned a -wheel in these waters. The new Potter will be ready for service about June 3 and will take her place on the seaside run -with a time schedule so much faster than anything heretofore made that her popu larity will be assured from the start. THE H. S. CHARLOTTE "WOK. End of a Big- Ocean Race From Co lumbia River to Falmonth. The big race for a J1000 stake between the German bark Herzogin Spohle Char lotte and the British bark Marlon LJght- body hasended, and the Britisher has not yet made port. The German bark with a long name and a big crew ar rived out at Falmouth Monday, after a passage of an even 120 days, which is not fast enough to make a fuss about, but is still about 10 days better than thp average passage of ships from this port. The Marlon Llghtbody, which is a very fast .ship, was generally picked for a win ner in this port, but was at a disadvan tage -with the German on account of a crew. The Herzogin Sophie Charlotte is the schoolship on which the North Ger man Lloyd trains its officers for steam ships, and she had about 50 men avail able for working ship, compared with half that number on the Marlon Llght body. Two other ships which left here during the big December storms passed Lizard yesterday, and are undoubtedly safe by this time. They are the Halewood, which made the run in laz days, and the Malpo, in 148 days. On account of their exposure to the big storm, underwriters became nervous over these vessels and paid as high as 8 per cent reinsurance before they were fully due. of an American subsidy. He did not be lieve Parliament would inflict countervail, lng duties on subsidized American ves sels. Mr. Morgan's railroad and' manu facturing Interests would enable him to make the purchase of the Leyland Line profitable. Mr. TEIIerman severely criticised the an tiquated British navigation laws which put British vessels as an Increasing dis advantage in competing with foreigners. Mr. Mattinson said the Americans were evidently in the trans-Atlantic trade to stay. Trade does not follow the flag; -it follows capital. The conditions favor their success. The fact that this particu lar purchase has been possible should be a grave warning to Great Britain to re vise the navigation-laws which threaten her supremacy. GROSSLY EXAGGERATED. English Papers Attach Too Mach Importance to Morgan' Deals. NEW YORK, May 7. J. Plerpont Mor gan remains an ogre for the sensational Brjtish press, says the Tribune's London correspondent, and Mr. Carnegie's fore casts of the development of American in dustrial resources are printed In'the larg est type. The consolidation of railways and shipping Interests in., the Atlantic and Pacific seaboards, with the possibility that one capitalist can fix through rates and ocean transportation, is now a stock theme with financial writers In England who display remarkable credulity In ac cepting elastic statements of the ulterior purposes of American multi-millionaires. At the same time they deplore English In ability to form counter combinations. Brook Adams' views on a trade war be tween continent and continent are also quoted In many Journals. Probably there has never been a time when American resources for organization and competi tion have been equally dreaded 4n Eng land, bift the bulk of the press writing at the present Is Ill-considered, and the importance of Mr. Morgan's operations Is grossly exaggerated. It is reported that Mr. Morgan is hav ing two steamers built exclusively for first-class passengers between New York and England, and on a scale of magnifi cence never hitherto attempted. RATE "WAR ABOUT AT END. One Company "Will Sell Pfo More " Tickets at Reduced Prices. PORT TOWNSEND, May 7. The Alaska rate war is about at an endj according to reports received here by Dodwell's agent. A meeting of the 'steamboat as sociation will be held May 10, and rates placed at the old schedule or the war continued. Dodwell's agent has been In structed not to sell tickets north at re duced rates on any of the company's ves sels sailing after May 10. Freight, at re duced rates, will not be received after that date. Movllje, May 7.-ATrlvedVAncboria, from New York'-f or Glasgow, and proceeded. "Bremen, May 7.

Longr Trip of Gnsoilne Launch. ASTORIA. May 7. Captain Chris Ahnes, who took the gasoline launch Santa Rita to Alaska for the Western Fisheries Com pany, has returned. The Santa Rita left here with the steamer North Star and beat, her six hours to Port Townsend. From Seattle the launch made the run to Dundas Bay, a distance of over 1000 miles. In 124 hours, without an accident, but she was favored with good weather. This is believed to be the longest trip that a gasoline launch has ever made in the open sea. OAPTAIK TATTON Iff TOWJu Astoria Bnr Pilot "Who Has a Claim " " "Agin, the Goi ernment." Captain James Tatton, one of the As toria bar pilots, was in the city yes terday, returning to Astoria last even ing. Captain Tatton was master of the sealing schooner Alpha, one of the first American vessels seized in Behring Sea about 15 years ago. The seizure was il legal, but Captain Tatton and his part ner, W. E. Warren, lost their vessel and all of the sealskins they had taken. A number of British schooners were seized at the same time, and their case was taken.up by the British Government, with the result that the American Govern ment 'was forced to pay claims amount ing to 5425,000. The owners of the Ameri can schooners which were seized at the same time had exactly the same standing in court as the Canadians, but as they did aiot have the power of a big gov ernment behind their backs, they have been put off from time to time, but have not yet given up hope. The Government will undoubtedly pay the claims for the seized schooners, but this loss will be small in comparison with what this Government lost by driv ing the business away from the American flags and over "to the Canadians, whose government protected the sealers In their .rights. Mutiny on French Baric. CHERBOURG, May 7. The ' French bark Anjou, which sailed from North Shields April 25 for San Francisco, and which stopped here last week in order, to secure the French shipping bounty and was detained on account of the .mutiny of 10 members of her crew.proceeded tp day. The mutineers have been sentenced variously tot terms "ranging from oneVeek to sIxmonths' imprisonment. Quarantine Raised.1 VANCOUVER, B. C, May 7. The quar antine has been raised against ships ar riving from Alaska ports. Dr. McKech nle, quarantine officer here, "was Instruct ed by the Dominion Government today that quarantine inspection will hereafter be made of vessels , arriving here from Skagway or other Alaskan ports'. , TTR'S GOOD DISPATCH. Receives Cargo In Five Days' Less Time Than "Was Made In 'Frisco. The Norwegian steamship Tyr arrived down at Astoria jesterday morning and crossed out to sea in the afternoon, after a stky of but little more than 10 days in trig river. Considering the nature of her cargo, whlcjff could not be handled rapidly, the stdnneV&-eceIved very good dispatch, and thp agent. Mr. Henry Mett, is well satisfied with the work. The Tyr loaded a similar cargo in San Francisco last Summer and was detained in port over'15 days In getting it aboard. The total value of the Tyr's cargo taken from this port was 5151.000, and she was un able to take about 5000 barrels of flour which liad been engaged, and which will be held over for the next steamer of the line, .which will be due in June or early in July. 57C.OOO Fire at Dawsoa. TACOMA, May 7,-The steamer Dolphin brings news of another Dawson fire, with an estimated loss of JTff.OOO.

' Cargo of! Volunteer. , ASTORIA, May 7. Thp schooner Volun teer, which crossed out-yesterday for San Francisco, carries a cargo of '778,000 feet of lumber and 250,000 feet of laths. She was loaded at Knappton. - ' OOFACK DEE XEXT "WEEK. Big. Transport "Will Come Round From .Seattle to Load Forage. The United States transport Oopack. which was reported scheduled for this port to-load forage and stores several days ago, will leave Puget Sound about Sun day, and reach Portland in time to load next week. The Oopack Is one of the China Mutual line steamers, and has a capacity of 6000 tons. She has never vis ited Portland, but a number of larger steamers of the same line have been here a number of times. All of the cargo for the Oopack Is on the dock awaiting her. and she will be given the usual quick dispatch, which makes Portland a much cheaper port than any other on the Coast. THE MORGAX DEAL. Mr. EUerman Says Outlook Is flat Prominlnsr for British. Shipowners. LONDON, May 7. Simultaneously with today's meeting of the Leyland Line shareholders to iote upon the agreement with J. Plerpont Morgan, comes a reiter ation of the statement that the Morgans are about to acquire the Red Star Line as well as the Atlantic Transport Line. The Lejland Line shareholders unani mously confirmed the Morgan-Ellerman agreement. The American Line officials here, how ever, deny the report that Mr. Morgan has acquired the Red Star Line. After Mr. Mattinson, -who presided at the Leyland Line meeting, had explained the terms of the contract, Mr. Ellerman, chairman of the line, set forth his views on the trans-Atlantic trade. He said the outlook was not promising for British shipowners in view of the large American tonnage building, the prospects of the re turn to that trade of- vessels now divert ed to South Africa and the probability Marine Wotes. The steamer1 Signal, .with, a cargo of lumber from Knappton, arrived at San Francisco yesterday. , , . The .German ship Paul Isenberg finished loading yesterday morning and the Ne- reus will finish today. The "Isenberg will clear today and leave down the river 'to morrow. The Amerlcanv ship Tlllle-E.

Plymouth, ilay - 7.-Balled Pretoria, j Company Announces the Terras on Which It "Will Sell Oat. -NEW YORK. May 7. In order to re move the objection raised by the Isthmian Canal Commission. - the Panama Canal Company, with the approval of the Colom bian 'Government, says the Washington correspondent Qf the Herald, has an nounced the terms upon which it will sell the Panama Canal to -the United States. 'Trie letter containing its proposi tion was submitted to Rear-Admiral Walker chairman of the commission, by Dr. Martinez Sllva, Colombian Minister. No price Is set by. the company for its property and -"franchise. It suggests the appointment of appraisers one by the United States and one by the company, these two appraisers to select a third the estimate of the board thus formed to be final. No conditions whatever are attached to the proposal. It is a clean offer, It is ex plained by advocates of the Panama Ca nal route, and. will have an important ef fect upon the final recommendations of the commission. "The concession of the company con tains a provision," Senor Sllva said, "un der which it becomes forfeited the mo ment the company enters into negotia tions -.with a foreign government for the transfer of its rights. Before the sub mission of the preliminary report of the commission, " the company did not have the permission of the Colombian Gov ernment to enter into negotiations with the United States, and M. Hutlp, presi dent of the company, was therefor un able to announce the terms upon which the concession might be sold. In its pre liminary report the commission referred to his inability to make a proposition, and placed stress upon it as an import ant objection In the way of the acqui sition by the United States of the canal. The Columbian Government, desirous of removing all obstacles In the way of American construction of the waterway, has given permission to the company to state the terms upon which It is willing to sell."' The Walker Commission estimated the value of the work done and the property of the Panama. Company at about 534,000. 000. Something, It Is believed by the company, should be -paid for Its fran chise, and for the work done solving the various problems In connection with the construction of. the canal. All this Is a matter, however, for ihe hoard proposed to be formed under its proposal in case the United States determines to com plete the Panama waterway. 7 BORINGS ON NICARAGUA ROUTE. Indicate That a Canal Can Be Built for Less Than $250,000,000. NEW YORK, May 7.-The Tribune says: "It is' understood that the engineers who have , been making test borings and sur veys for a route for the Nicaragua Canal, some of whom have just-arrived here irom Greytown, in charge ofH.

The wise, up-to-date modern doctor is no longer tied down to the hard-and-fast rules of what his medical books say he shall use and what he may withhold in treating his patient- The successful doctor nowadays is the one who is quick to avail himself of any remedy, new or old, which holds out a chance of cure, no matter whether it is Allopathic, Homeopathic or neither one. Dr. Jennison, in an interesting article on indigestion and dyspepsia, says: "Nine-tenths of all people who apply to me for advice and treatment think they have this ailment or that ail ment, but I find on close examination that their whole trouble arises from poor digestion. "They have little appetite and if they do havean appetite the food they eat does them no good. Why? Because it is, but half digested, causing thin blood; weak nerves, sleeplessness, aching bones, pains in chest, formation of gases, belching, etc. They tell me they believe they have consumption or heart disease, rheumatism, nervous prostration, in fact, most every disease but the right one. " "In reality the whole trouble is in the stomach and nowhere else. Now what do I do with such people? I don't feed them on predigested foods like babies, nor 'stomach bitters,' nor pat ent nostrums which I know nothing about. No honorable physician will prescribe a remedy unless he knows what it contains and its probable effects. For all such patients I have but one prescription; I advise them to go to the nearest drug store and get a 50 cent box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.1 I use 'them with remarkable success in all' cases of indigestion and stomach trouble, because I know what Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets consists of and what they will do. They contain the vegetable essences, diastase and Government-test pepsin which are the things every weak stomach lacks to restore natural digestive vigor, and if I had dyspepsia myself it is the one remedy I should take. "When a patient comes to me complaining of dull headaches, sour stomach, bad taste, nervousness, belching of gas, or heart trouble which is generally caused from indigestion I tell him to take one or two of Stuart's Tablets after each meal and as often during the day as he has any trouble and I feel confident that I have given that patient the best advice I could give." Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are large, pleasant-tasting lozenges, containing- diastase and pepsin combined with fruit and vegetable essences. They are not cathartic and do not act on any particular organ like ordinary drugs but simply act entirely on the food eaten. They are a nat ural digestive, pure and simple. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by druggistsat 50 cents per package throughout the United States, Canada and Great Britain. J " F. A. STUART CO., MARSHALL, MICH.
