NEWPORT, July 7. It was a day of satisfaction on board the new yachting champion, the Constitution, of resigna tion, on the Columbia, and of con templation, but still hopefulness, on the Boston yacht Independence, so badly defeated In yesterday's race. On shore, however, everyone discussed the race from, all sides, but principally with .reference to the unexpected showing of the Independence.

The German of Sarona makes wines of a good quality, though In less abundance. They bestow characteristic care on the processes, and turn out a large number of varieties a red .and a white Muscat, a red wine 1 ke Affenthaler, a red "Alcante," and two other white wines, Reisling and Sarona. All, we are told, compare favorably with the common French and Italian wines, and are beginning to find their way to Europe probably they appear in wine lists under French or occasionally Ger man names. There is an excellent prospect, there fore, that the vineyards of Palestine may once more be of note, as in the olden days. Many parts of the land seenv to ba naturally adapted to grape-growing, al though the industry has for long been neglected, partly, perhaps, because the. Koran frowns upon the vine. One trav eler speaks of a vine near Acre the branches of which formed a shelter mora than 30 feet? broad and long, and bore bunches weighing 10 or 12 pounds. The late Dean Stanley describes, as one pe culiarity of Judea, the abundance of tha terraced vineyards, with their watch towers and wall, Just as they were for centuries before the fall of Jerusalem. But In those days the culture of the vine was far more general than now; ic ex tended south of the boundary of Judah into the region possessed by Simeon, and the late Professor Palmer tells us how he saw even In the arid Negeb, or South Country, the signs of former vineyards. The revival of the ancient? industry in this and other fruits is largely due to the Jewish colonies, which have been planted by the liberality of their wealthy co religionists, and the success of their ef forts at once to help their own people and to make Palestine again a land to be de sired, is a matter for hearty congratulation. HEAD-END COLLISION SOUTHERN PACIFIC . TRAINS NEAR DUXSMUIR. MET Engineer Sustained Serious Injuries, One nobo Killed and Another's Arm and Leg Broken. ASHLAND. July ". A head-end colli sion took place on the Southern Pacific Company's line at Black Butte Summit, 22 miles north of Dunsmuir, this morning at 5:40 o'clock, between the south-bound California express and a special north bound passenger train of seven coaches, carrying mustered-out volunteers from the Philippines. Two helper engines, a baggage car and a mall car were badly wrecked. A hobo on the soldier train was instantly killed and another had his arm .and leg btoken. Engineer Henry Wentz, district. The favorite part of the dis trict is the north side of Treasure Hill, on the headwaters of the Callpooia. The Great Northern mine, in that section. Is a new find, and is showing up fine. Fred E. Sharkey Is ibu3y opening up his claim on that side, and has encouraging pros pects. Work will begin on the Poorman mine the pioneer of that part of the camp, in a day or two. Nothing but the lack of a wagon road prevents one or two mills going, in there this Summer. Many nevf prospects have been struck there this Spring, some of which pan free gold in large quantities on the sur face. The Badger claim, owned by Mc Mipnville people, is showing up well. On ihp Blue River side, much perma nent development is being done. Cal Young is opening up the famous Sunset, and C. H. Park has a full crew of min ers pushing work on the old Treasure mine. This is the pioneer claim of the district, having been worked more or less for 20 years. A tunnel Is now being run further in the hill and opening a fine body of ore. Mr. Park also purchased the Shovel Blade claim, adjoining the Treasure mine. TAKING THE OATH. Swear to ing base-running and lucky 'hitting. At-' tendance, 6400.

A large crowd witnessed the game. When a man got to third base he was pretty sure to reach home. Hall, who caught !or the Upchurch team, and Funk, who held down the same position for the Fi delities, vied to see who could pile up the largest number of passed balls. Julius Caesar, the ancient and dilapi dated representative of the African race, acted as mascot for the Fidelities, and to his vigorous coaching the Fidelities owe in a great measure their victory. ,Mr. Caesar was arrayed in a woolly ."plug" hat, and a lawn necktie that had y not seen the laundry for several months. umpire would permit him, and yelled him self hoarse for his favorites. Twice during the game time had to be called while Umpire "Trilby" Rankin ruled crowds of hooting spectators off the field. Rankin seemed to recognize Mr. Caesar as the official representative of the winning team, for the dark-skinned mascot was excepted from the general order to "git." The Fidelities had all the best of it af ter the second Inning. In the ninth, how ever, the Upchurch team made a desper ate spurt and succeeded in pulling out four runs, lacking one of tying the score. It looked as if they were going to do It, and the jaw of J. Caesar, Esq., dropped several inches. Finally, however, three men were put out before the tielng run could be -made.

On board the Boston boat not a man was cast down, the overwhelming defeat being attributed solely to hard luck. Said one of those on board during the race: "Wo know that the Independence can sail and sail fast, for we have seen her do it, an dwe believe that yesterday's ill luck attended her from the very start.' Captain Haff Is quoted as expressing similar views to Mr. Lawson when the latter came aboard last night after the race, and tonight all hands on the Bos ton boat are looking forward eagerly and confidently to tomorrow's contest when, over a triangular course, the Independ ence Is expected to show her great reaching qualities, providing, of course, there Is any kind of breeze. It was also pointed out that under the America's cup conditions, yesterday's trial would have been declared no race, the usual time limit of, five hours and a half having kbeen exceeded, but those bn the Inde pendence did not make any excuses on that basis. One of the most interesting comments on the race was made tonight by W. But ler Duncan, of the Constitution, who summed up the contest by saying It seemed practically to settle the situation, and that the Independence could not hereafter be considered a possibility as a cup defender. Mr. Duncan further re marked that one of the most gratifying Incidents of the race was the excellent work of the Constitution's crew in hand, ling sails, and the manner In which all hands pulled together. He was fully sat isfied with the showing of the Constitu tion and the result was a great relief.. Coming back to the Independence, he said a yacht that could not show speed in light weather would be very unlikely to do better under heavier conditions of wind and sea. The yachts will have their second con test of the Newport Racing Association's series tomorrow, over a 30-mile triangular course of 10 miles on a side, It being pro vided, as usual, that one leg,- probably the first, shall be a beat to windward. It is thought such a contest will give the Independence her best chance of defeat ing the two Herreshoff yachts, as two of the legs must be made by broad reaches. The start. If possible, will be from Bren ton's Reef Lightship, and It is likely that almost as large a fleet will accompany the racers as on Saturday. World's Championship Wheel Races. BERLIN, July 7.

London Standard. The account of the trade of Palestine during last year, given In the Consular report just issued, Is fairly hopeful, though neither the exports nor the Im ports reach the level attained In 1899. The prosperity of the country depends still, as It has always done, and most probably always will do, upon the fruits of the earth. Centuries before the present era, corn and wine and oil were among the chief boons of the Promised Land, and though we hear little now of- the first, the other two are regaining fheir ancient rep utation. To melons, which also were valued in ancient days, a new fruit has been added the orange. This, indeed, and the grape are now the most import ant products of Palestine, though the ex ports of the former have declined consid erably In value during the last few years. Jaffa oranges, however, maintain their reputation, so that It may be hoped that the depression Is only temporary. South ern Palestine bas always been noted for Its vineyards; it was Judahwho "bound his foal to the vine . . . and washed his clothes In the blood of crapes." , Of the principal Jewish colonies in the Waffa district, Richon-le-SIon, Petach- Tlkvah and Ekron, on the supposed site of the Philistine city which last received the fatal trophy of the ark, the first Is the chief one for grape-growing. A fourth colony, Sarona. also near Jaffa, is Ger man. In all these agriculture, and es pecially everything connected with wlne maklng, Is conducted on scientific princi ples, and fhe first and last have become really Important centers In the trade. Rlchon-le-Slon has excellent works and machinery for the manufacture of wine, and great underground cellars for its storage. These last year contained about 1,100,000 gallons, in addition to a con siderable quantity which Is always kept In depot at Hamburg. Two kinds are spe cially In demand a red wine, like a light claret, and a dry white wine, rather of Hoiv Different Peoples Speak Truth. An investigation caused by the trouble over King Edward's oath of accession has developed the fact that In only two other countries does the royal oath of office make any reference to religion, says the New York Press. The King of Portugal swears to maintain the Catho lic religion, and the King of Greece to support the Greek Church. The whole subject of oaths Is interesting. They pre-suppose that any man is liable to break his mere word Kings and Emper ors, as well as anybody else. Whether an oath makes the average man more truthful or not is a question. The genr eral opinion seems to be and always to have been, that It does. In Germany, however, oaths have been abolished al together, and irt America, 'England and Australia any one objecting to being sworn in court on religious grounds is allowed to affirm. In France no oath is required of members of the National Legislature, and It cannot be held that German witnesses, Quakers and members of the French Chamber of Deputies are more unreliable in court than other people. A philosopher once said that when the oath ceased' to be binding no country could exist, for a year. The taking of an oath is a very an cient practice, and has been common to all nations, civilized and savage, in all times. The Medes and the Persians, the' Egyptians and the Assyrians swore, and the time probably never will come when the oath will have died out of the world. There is great variety In the form of taking an oath, but the object is the same to call down upon one's self the vengeance of God as the penalty of un truth. But there is a concurrent and very -lively sehse of the vengeance of the law as well. In England, Spain, Italy and Austria the oath is taken on the Bible. The English always kiss the book. IniFrance, Belgium and Scotland the oath is taken with the right.hand' raised over the head. "" Parsees sometimes give rise to much perplexity In law courts. They strongly object to being sworn on the Bible, and claim the right to make the oath as in their own country namely, by holding the tail of a cow. The cow being a sa cred animal In the eyes of the Parsee, he can commit no sin while touching it. But there is fortunately an alternative. In the City of London courts, some years ago, it being impracticable to procure a cow, a Parsee took a sacred relic out from his bosom, and, holding it aloft, swore Impressively, "By God. and God Omniscient, and God Omnipresent, and God Almighty." Mahometans are much opposed to swearing. When they do swear, It is a solemn ceremony, and Is performed by holding the Koran in the right hand, placing the left hand on the forehead, and bringing the head down to the book. A Mahometan seldom commits perjury. In I'dia their prejudice against swearing Is so strong that the government allows them to affirm. The Buddhist swears "In the presence of Buddha," and says: "If I speak false, or If by coloring the truth others are led astray, Dhamma and Pro Sanga, to gether with the devotees of the Twenty two Firmaments, punish me and also my migratory soul." The Hindoo law says: "Let the judge swear by his veracity, the soldier by his horse or weapons, the merchant by his cattle, grain, gold or other possessions, and the servile man by Imprecating curses upon his own head." When the Gentoo of India swears, he touches the foot of Brahmin, and when a Brahmin swears he touches the foot of another of his caste. In Mexico many people still adhere to an ancient form of oath. They touch the earth with the tip of the finger and then place the linger on the tongue, which signifies: "If my tongue speak false, then may I bs turned to dust." Until comparatively recently, a priest in France simply affirmed "on the word of a priest." 'The Chinese have a great variety of oaths, many of them curious ,ln form. One of them 13 taking a saucer and breaking It while the clerk says: "You shall tell the truth and the whole truth. The saucer is cracked, and If you do not tell the truth your soul shall be cracked like the saucer." This Is a binding oath, for the Chinaman believes that his soul can be smashed in frag ments. Chinese in this country and Eng land are sometimes sworn by the broken saucer. More effective, however, in the eyes of the Celestials, Is the joss stick. The joss stick Is set alight, and while It burns the Chinese swearer wishes that his soul may be burned like the stick if he gives false evidence. The Chinese swear in many other ways. A solemn oath Is made by writing certain sacred characters on a paper and burning it. praying at the same time that he may be burned If he does not speak the truth. Sometimes he swears by burning a piece of straw. But nothing is so forcible in drawing the truth from a Chinaman as getting him to cut off a cock's head. This, like the breaking of the saucer, has a religious foundation. The Chinese believe that If their bodies are muti lated on earth, their souls will be simi larly mutilated in heaven.

TRAFFIC WILL BE DIVIDED - ONE OF THE BEST - KNOWN AND MOST INFLUENTIAL RESI DENTS OF CURRY COUNTV. PORT ORFORD, July 7. Patrl ck Hughes, one of the best-known and "most influential residents of Curry County, who recently met with a serious accident that terminated fntally, June 28, arrived in Oregon, in 1857. He was born in Cas tle Cawfleld. County Tyrone, Ireland, in 1S30, and came to America at the age ot 10. Forty-three years of his life were spent In Curry County, near Cape Blanco, where he acquired large and valuable property. Mr. Hughes was a stanch Roman Catholic, a patriotic citizen, a man of marked ability, and uni versally respected and beloved. A wife and seven children survive him. The chil dren are: Mrs. P. J. Masterson, of Port Oxford; Sirs. Frank McMullen. of Den mark, Or.; J. S. Hughes, of Cape Blanco lighthouse; Rev. J. C. Hughes, rector of St. Laurence's church, of Portland, and E. A., T. P. and F. J.

The North American tomorrow will publish a story to the effect that the entire coal trans portation east of the Mississippi River will be divided among the railroads con trolled by the Pennsylvania Railroad, the "Vanderbilt and the Morgan Interests. The Pennsylvania and Vanderbilt lines will carry all the coal produced in the bitumi nous regions, while the Morgan roads will control the entire anthracite trans, portation. This combination, the article goes on to say, will bring about the con solidal'lon of all the bituminous Interests north of Tennessee and east of the Mis sissippi. The work of consolidation haa been going on for a year, and every ave nue of transportation of coal Is In con trol of these three interests. Among the bituminous groups are the Pittsburg Coal Company, the Illinois Coal Company, the latter representing all the coal properties In Illinois and Indiana, and the Fairmount Coal Company, of West "Virginia. The total capitalization of the bituminous In terests Is estimated at $310,000,000. HUNDREDS ARE HOMELESS. of the express train, sustained serious In juries, and a number of passengers re ceived cuts and bruises. ' The locality of the wreck was a very sharp curve at the summit of the Butte, and the two trains were moving at the rate ot 20 miles an hour when the crash came. That so few casualties occurred is most remarkable. The blame for the accident seems to attach to the engi neer of the soldier special train, who failed to note the time of the regular passenger train. FISHERMEN DOING WELL. Cntch of Ycnterdny nt Astoria Double That of Dny Before. ASTORIA, July 7. The catch of fish last night and this morning was fully double that of yesterday, which was con sidered good. The experience of the past few years has shown that the run of fish Is later than in the early days of the salmon-fishing Industry on the Columbia River, as the fish caught today are equal in quality, size and oil to the chinook salmon which formerly entered the river In May. Jcnsle Return From Hnlibut BankH. The deep-sea fishing schooner Jessie, which arrived in yesterday from the hali but banks, has seven tons of halibut and five tons of black cod. It has not yet been determined whether the fish will be sold in Portland or shipped to San Francisco. Tax Snle Postponed. The County Court, at its session last evening, decided to postpone until August J. E. McCauley, one of the pioneers of the camp, has Just commenced a new tunnel on his Morning claim, lower down on the hill, and is putting In car and track and doing permanent development, and has a fine showing of ore. July 4, the five new stamps began drop ping at the Lucky Boy mill. Everything worked first class. Fifteen stamps are now at work day and night. One day not long ago the Lucky Boy saw mill cut C900 feet of lumber In four hours, which beats the record of any small mill In this part of Oregon. The new postofflce here is doing well, and is a very great convenience to the camp, as all can now get their mail in one day from the railroad. ROGUE RIVER HATCHERY. While Established Only Two Years, It Has Done Great Good. MEDFORD, July 7. About two years ago the United States Fish Commission established a station or hatchery on Rogue River, about 33 miles above Mod ford, for the purpose of restocking the river and Its tributaries with salmon and other food fishes. The work from the beginning has been under the Immediate care and management of J. W. Berrian. a fish culturlst who has seen several years' service with the Fish Commission, and whose Intelligent labors have con clusively developed the superiority of the i salmon and waters of Rogue River for hatchery purposes. Since this station was established it has taken about 10,000,000 salmon eggs. 19 the sale of property which the coun- the product from which has been mainly Loss by Fire nt Versailles "Will RenchXscveral Thousand Dollars.
