Caitbloeh'a Famonii Tannage Recalled "Icll-Known Ships Overdue May Gastom Receipts Were Large. The-steamship Palatlnla arrived up from Astoria at 5 o'clock jesterday morning and commenced taking: in cargo shortly i afterward. The Palatlnla Is a big modern- j built freighter, with a capacity of 6150 tons j dead, weight, or for 3.000,000 feet of lum- j beiC' "She Is a comparatively new ship, being launched less than three years ago. i The Palatlnla;s nrst trip to the North west was about six months ago, when she loaded flour and general cargo on Puget Sound.for Vladlvostock. She made a sec ond trp to Puget Sound and loaded a cargo of lumber. Captain Stewart, of the Palatlnla, like most of the masters of the moderp steamships, is a graduate from , the sailing vessel, leaving the "wind-jammers" for steam, about nine years ago. He visited Portland nearly a quarter of a century ago as mate of the British bark Oban Bay, one of the well-known old timers in this port. The'Oban Bay was a 1000-ton ship, and she experienced more difficulty In getting up and down the river in the old days than will be experienced by the 6000-ton-ner which Captain Stewart now com mands. On one of his trips to Portland as mate in the Oban Bay, the ship re mained in port for three months In com pany with the- Calthloch, Hannah Landles, Brodick Bay, Shenlr, Nairnshire, Centen nial and a number of others. It was at that time that the Calthloch made the fastest passage ever made from the Co lumbia River. It has been a quarter of a century since that clipper bark flew over the 17,000-mile course between Portland and Queenstown In 89 days, and while a number of vessels have got down within two or three days of It, the record still holds good. The Oban Bay is still afloat under her old name, but the Calthloch andinost of the others which left Port land with her at the time of her famous run have disappeared. Captain Stewart reports an uneventful voyage across the Pacific, the only vessel sighted being a large steamer, apparently heading for Cape Nome. MOIIE OVERDUE SHIPS. Fftr Per Cent Offered on the Beacon Rock, Ljd&nte and Potvjs Castle. Three vessels well known In this port are on the overdue list to the extent of 50 per cent reinsurance. They are the Bea con 'Rock, Lydgate and Powys Castle. The Beacon Rock was one of the 90 per cent risks which got In last year, and her safe arrival at that time was a very re markable occurrence. She left Port Plrle for Wellington, New Zealand, a voyage of about two w eeks, and when two months bad passed and she had not arrived, she was reinsured up to 50 per cent. Then she arrived on the west coast of 'South America, having been blown past New Zealand and right across the Pacific. She is now overdue on her voyage from Eng land to Australia, and 50 per cent is being paid on her. The steel four-masted bark Arracan is out 98 days from Newcastle, Australia, with a cargo of coal for San Francisco, and 15 per cent Is being paid to reinsure her chances. The underwriters are afraid of the coal cago, and think it may have caught fire. The Arracan was built in 1892. and is 291 feet 3 Inches long, 42 feet llnch beam, and 24 feet 5 inches deep. The Joh,n McDonald, another coal-laden vessel, is now out 251 days from Baltimore for San Francisco, and 90 per cent is being offered on her, n hlle on the oil-laden Man chester, now out 279 days from New York, for Yokohama, Go per cent Is being paid. On the Aladdin, 141 days from Java for from Java for Sydney, 70 per cent; Lin wood, 194 days from Manila for New York, 35 per cent. OVER ONE MILLION. Value of Exports From Portland Last Mouth $100,000 Collected. More than $100,000 In dirties was collected at the custom-house in this port last month, and the value of the domestic ex ports was over 51,000,000. These figures show Portland in a very favorable light, especially w"hen it is considered that May is usually a dull month.

Harry Trott was tarred1 and feathered last 'night by the "Six Hundred and One." He was or dered out of town & month agb, but re turned yesterday and defied the vigil antes to make him go away again.

Between 20 and 30 tons of smokeless powder were burned, causing a loss of between 5400.000 and 5500,000. The powder burned nearly all day, and was not extinguished until tonight. The ori gin of the fire has not been determined. The generally accepted theory is that the powder in the magazine took fire through chemical action. This theory explains why no explosion opcurred. The only damage done to the brick building In which the powder, was stored was found on Hunter Creek, and several forks of Jack Wade Creek. The district an ticipates the busiest, season on record. With the openirig of navigation, on the Yukon an unprecedented rush of busi ness commenced. The Yukon steamship companies have prepared for the busiest season yet experienced. Thousands and thbusands of tons of freight had been piled up at White Horse awaiting the breaking up of the ice, and this has been started in a steady stream to lower points on the river. STRIKE AT SAN FRANCISCO. Employers Will Listen to No Terms Save Surrender of Strikers. SAN FRANCISCO, Juno 5. The pros pect for settling the machinists' strike is poorer, perhaps, today, than it has been any day since May 20. During the past few 4days employers refuse to listen to terms, overtures or even tne mention or. arbitration, claiming to be absolutely powerless to do anything in the premises except to permit the strikers to return under the same conditions under which they had been working before the strike. In explaining the attitude of t he employ ers toward the strikers, the bosses say that, in view of the forthcoming conven tion of ,th e Metal Trades Association of Amqrlca. which is to convene t at New York June 11, It would be folly for a small number of employers on the Pacific Coast to make rates or terms without knowing what the East Is going to do about It. -a and OLD PEOPLE v n .ii :v.

With advancing years there is a decline of strength and vigor the machinery of the body moves with less speed and accuracy. Because of the weak and irregular action of the heart the blood moves more slowly, becomes impure and loses much of its life-sustaining properties, and muscles, tissues and nerves literally starve for lack of nourishment. A sluggish 'and polluted circulation is followed by a long train of bodily ailments. Cold feet, chilly sensations up-and-down the spine, poor appetite and digestion, soreness of the muscles, rheumatic pains, hard and fissured skin, face sores, chronic running ulcers on the lower limbs and other parts of the body these and many other diseases peculiar to old people arc due to a lack of healthy blood and imperfect circulation. Restoration to health must come through the building up and purification of the blood, thus adding strength ana tone to the vital organs and quick, healthy action to the circulation. S. S. S. being strictly a vegetable blood remedy and the best tonic, makes it the most valuable and efficacious of all medicine for old people. It is free from all mineral ingredients, and mild and pleasant in its action. It cures blood diseases of every character, even those inherited or contracted in early life. As the system gets under the influence of S. S. S. there is a marked improvement in the general health, and as richer and purer blood begins to circulate through the body the appetite improves, and the're is a softness and elasticity about the skin that you have not noticed for years ; sores begin to heal, pains in muscles and joints grad ually cease, and you find that it is possible to be happy and healthy even in old age. Our medical department is in charge of physicians who make a study of blood and skin diseases. If you would like to have their opinion and advice in youi case, write them all about it and you shall receive such information and advice as you want. This will cost you nothing. Others have found our medical depart ment of great benefit to them their cure being much more rapid as the result ol some special directions received from our physicians.
