- Tfrrmm;itfr c? 10 THE MOKNINGr OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, JULY 11, 1901. mmmimmjmw , - LOAD FORAGE FOR MANILA 'STEAMSHIP PALATIMA HAS BEEN CHARTERED BY GOVERNMENT. "Will Return to Portland as Soon hi Her Lumber Cargo Is Discharged, Argus Arrives From Honolulu. In spite of the efforts of less favorably situated ports to divert the traffic from Portland, this city Is still In the field lor a portion of- the Government business, and will continue to dispatch a number of transports. The latest engagement -for Portland loading Is the steamship Pa latlnla, which was chartered yesterday by the Government from the Pacific Export Lumber Company to take a cargo of for age from Portland to Manila. The Pa latlnla has Just left Portland for Shang hai with a cargo of lumber, and will re turn to this port to fill her engagement with the Government as soon as her pres ent cargo Is discharged. She will reach Portland the latter part of next month, and will take out a full cargo.. The Strathgyle, which Is also under charter to the Government to load lumber at this port for Manila, is due In about 10 days. She "has Just arrived at San Francisco with a cargo of over 7100 tons of coal, which, -according -to the San Francisco papers, is one of the largest cargoes of that commodity ever brought to the Bay City. MORE CLOSE SAILING. ? reach and British Vessel Make nn - Even Run to Queenstovrn. The British ship Scottish Hills, the t third vessel of a quartet of sailing ships 'which crossed out of the Columbia to gether on February 19, arrived out at Queenstown Tuesday, after a passage of 140 days. The quartet included three French vessels, the La Rochefoucauld, General de Bolsdeffre and Bossuet, and the keenest rivalry existed between the mas ters of the bounty-earners. The La Roche loucauld not only beat the ships of her 'own flag, but also distanced the Britisher by going home In 125 days. The second in the race was the General de Bolsdeffre, and this craft sailed a very even race with the Scottish Hills, beating the Brit isher by but a single day. The unlucky Bossuet, which used up the better part of a year In getting out to Portland in ballast, seems to be still wearing her hoodoo, as she has not yet been heard of. Her trip out to Portland will long be xemembered. After a. six months passage from a French port, she put Into Hono lulu with the master ilL He rested at the Island port a few. weeks and then re sumed his Journey to Portland. After getting about half-way up from the Islands he again 'turned tail and sailed back for more medicine, and a new mas ter replaced hlrru "When the vessel finally reached. Portland' another change of mas ters was made, and the vessel started seaward again. "With the exception of the Bossuet, the February fleet has all ar rived out, most of them making very fair passages. One March ship, the County lof Dumfries, has arrived out, after a very fast passage of 109 days. REPAIRING THE LIGHTSHIP. Xuraber CO "Will Go Bade to Her Station In About Tvro Weeks. Messrs. Allen & Roberts, who were high ly successful in floating Columbia River lightship 2Co. 50, now have the repairs on the craft so well in hand that she will be ready to resume her place off the mouth of the Columbia in about two weeks. The IS months' exposure to the ealt water left the machinery, windlass and other metal portions of the craft in need of a general overhauling, but It is again practically as good as new. The vessel, together with the barge Anglesea, Is still at the foot of Davis street Messrs. Allen & Roberts, the contractors, have prepared a very neat album of photo graphs showing the progress of the ship from the time they commenced work on her on the weather beach until she .Teached her berth in this city. It is & ivery interesting souvenir of one of the (most difficult feats of salvage ever at tempted on a vessel in the Northwest. Having been so successful with the light ship, the contractors are fitting up the Anglesea with a view to tackling any kind "of a salvage job that comes along. WILL INVESTIGATE. Inspectors Will Locate Responsibil ity lor NnrroTV Escape. The San Francisco Chronicle says an Investigation will be held by the Govern ment Inspectors relative to an alleged narrow escape from collision by the steamers -George "W. Elder and Mlneola, 'which occurred a few days ago about 100 mile.s north of the Bay CU The Mlne lola, coal ..laden, was on her way from-Pu-'get Sound, bound for Port Los Angeles, ,and the Elder was on her regular run to ABtorla. During a light fog the- two .vessels narrowly avoided colliding, and it was necessary lor both steamers to-4 reverse their engines and rapidly sheer off. There have been several allgations of .neglect on the part of lookouts, but the master of the Elder is confident an in vestigation will clear every one connected J tenth his steamer. ARGUS IX PORT. iCargo Ship From Rotterdam toy Way of Honolulu Arrived Yesterday. The belated July fleet Is" coming along, bne" at a time, but almost too late to make much of a showing for the month's , wheat shipments. The latest arrival was the British -ship Argus, which arrived in last evening, after a passage of 21 days from Honolulu. The Argus has some 'cargo aboard from Bremen and Rotter dam, and Is under consignment to Bal ifour, Guthrie & Co. Her, outward cargo 1b awaiting her, but it is hardly probable that she will succeed In discharging in ward cargo and loading outward in time to clear in July. The Madagascar Is at Astoria ready for sea. Transportation Magnate Here. George B. Dodwell, of London, head snan of the company which operates steamers from Puget Sound and British Columbia ports to the Orient, was in Portland Tuesday, accompanied by his jbrotber, Fred Dodwell, of Tacoma, man ager of the Pacific Coast branch of the eompany. They have gone to Puget Bound with Frank "Woolsey, manager of the Portland and Tacoma offices if the company. At the Portland office of the 'company an Oregonlan reporter was In formed that George B.. Dodwell is making a. tour of inspection, that he left London six weeks ago, and that his visit to .Portland was without significance. Occidental and Oriental Director. SAN FRANCISCO, July 10. At the an nual meeting of the Occidental & Orien tal Steamship Company, the following directors were elected for the ensuing year: Charles M. Hays, Horace B. Burt, H. E. Huntington, R. P.

Switzerland has an off year In fruit and Oregon may be able to find a market there for fresh apples and dried fruits of all kinds. Adolph L. Frankenthal, United States Consul at Berne, writes as follows to Secretary Lamberson, of the State Board of Horticulture: This -will be a bad fruit year. Last season was extremely good, as I wrote you at the time, but this year heavy hall storms have done much damago to the fruit trees. Im ports of fresh fruit (not oranges, lemons, etc) from all the countries into Switzerland for 1000 were 21,200,000 pounds, and came from France, Germany and Italy in the order named. Exports, however, were 644,000 quintals, (a quintal is 220 40 pounds) of which 580,000 went to Germany, and 53,000' to Austria. You might find a market for apples In Switzerland. Regarding dried fruit, Switzerland uses a good quantity of the American article, but of late complaint has been made that the dried fruit frcm the United States was not or a good quality. A large portion of this comes to Switzerland through Germany. Imports, of dried fruits In 1900 were 24,300 quintals, dis tributed as follows: Austria, C800; Franco, 5000; Italy, 3000; Danube principalities, 4400; United States. 4200; other countries. 000. t POSTED FORFEIT MONEY.

(To the Editor.) In The Oregonlan of the Sth Inst., In a leading editorial, you express grave fears that socialistic measures to offset the present absorption of the people's wealth by the trusts would endanger the coun try and even civilization. Your fears are In vain. The Republican party, which Is the only party today that can be recog nized, has It In hand to apply so much of the socialistic medicine to the body of the United States as may be neces sary to offset the dangerous germs of the trusts that are about to swallow the wealth of the common people and the Government Itself. When our body is sick we are not afraid of the deadliest poison in a proper ratio to meet the disease. The same principle applies to nations. We may consider one thing bad at one time, and at other times It may be just what Is needed. Socialism controlled by ,a strong Republican party, as we have It, but willing to remedy evils as they exist, will act as a welcome medicine and re store the body of the United States to perfect health. R. BUETIKOFER. Pure blood is necessary to enjov perfect health. Hood's Sarsarjarllla Insures both. PREDICTS GREAT THINGS DR. BASHFORD SPEAKS OF THE PACIFIC COAST. How Advancement of Civilization Will Affect Three Cities Temper ance Programme Park Sites. GLADSTONE PARK, July 10. President J. W. Bashford, of the Ohio Wesleyan College, was the principal speaker at today's session of the Willamette "Valley Chautauqua Association. "The Twentieth Century" was the subject chosen by Dr. Bashford. He said in part: There is a close connection between civiliza tion and bodies of water. Civilization arises from the interchange of commerce, of Ideas and of Ideals; and water Is the earliest ana still the cheapest method of communication. The first stage of civilization was inaugurated when men learned to navigate the rivers, and the earliest civilizations were those of river basins. "Witness the civilization of Egypt, of the Nile, of Babylon upon the Tigris and the Euphrates. The second stage of civilization was when men learned to cross the Mediterranean. The civilization of the Mediterranean was the basis of the civilization of Greece, Rome, Carthage, Macedonia and Palestine. The third stage is the stage called modern civilization the civilization of the Atlantic basin. For this third stage God gave the United States a providential position, her extent on tne western side of the North Atlantic being equat to that of Spain, France, Holland and Eng land combined. The fourth and final stage Is now being in augurated on the Pacific basin. All history v merely a preparation for the final struggle which will take place in the first half of the 20th century, to see what race, what lan guage, what civilization and what religion win become dominant in the world-neighborhood around the Pacific Ocean. It Is my belief that the struggle will be between the Anglo Saxon, as represented by the United States. England and Germany, on the one side, and the Slav, as represented by Russia on thi other. San Francisco, Portland and Tacoma will become the London, the New York and th Liverpool of the Pacific The United States, especially the Pacific Coast, has possibilities of which she little dreams. Temperance Programme. This morning's session was given up to a temperance programme under the di rection of Mrs. Helen Harford, state pres ident of the Women's Christian Temper ance "Union. The main features were a literary programme, followed by an address by Rov. Ray Palmer on "Prohi bition or Perdition." At 2 o'clock this afternoon was held one of the most enjoyable features of this year's assembly, viz, a concert by the Park sisters, of New York. The con cert was highly enjoyed by all present, and the prospect of another tomorrow night will probably have the effect of drawing out a large crowd. Baseball for the Cup. This afternoon at 3:30 the Multnomahs and the Gervals Stars played a game of ball, the Stars winning by a score of 10 to 2. At no time was the Multnomah team in the game, while the Stars played in big luck all through the game. The baseball contest Is now narrowed down to the Chemawas and the Vancou vers, who begin a new series, best two out of three for the cup. The first game of the new series will take place at 3:30 this afternoon. Prior to Dr. Bashford's address to night there was a short programme in which Miss Gertrude Holmes sang a con tralto solo entitled, "Last Night, Dear Heart."

The Alblna Sub-Boards of Trade are working for three Important things for that district, with good prospects of suc cessthe widening of Union avenue to SO feet between Alberta street and Dekum avenue, the widening of Vancouver to 70 feet between Morris and Alberta streets, and free mail delivery for Highland, Piedmont and Woodlawn. The petition for widening Union avenue has hoon n-on erally signed by property owners, and is considered a fixture. The project for the widening of Vancouver avenue has been set in motion by the Alblna Sub-Board, with fair prospect of success. Owing to the fact that five feet will be required from lots and blocks on both sides of the avenue for some portions and 10 feet for other stretches, the widening will not be so easy of accomplishment as on Union avenue, but Vancouver avenue is the more Important street, as It connects with the road to Vancouver. The county will put the avenue north from Alberta street in condition. The object is to make a through connection on Vancouver ave nue from the Columbia River to the steel bridge. The petition for free mall delivery at Highland, Piedmont and Woodlawn is being signed by every one. At the meeting of the Sub-Board this evening at Piedmont steps will be taken to forward the petition to Washington. When these matters are disposed of an effort will be made to secure Bull Run water and a new schoolhouse at Wood lawn. Committees have been appointed on these subjects. "Will Be Made a Sub-Board. At an enthusiastic meeting of the Wood stock Improvement Association, held last night In the public hall at that place, it was practically decided to organize as a sub-Board of Trade. R. W. Montague presided, as he has been president of the association for over a year. There was full discussion of the matter of reor ganization as a sub-board. It was moved arid carried that a committee on perma nent organization be named. J. C. Hav ely, E. S. Fisher and J. L. Gilstrap were made such committee, and they were in structed to prepare a constitution and by-laws for the next meeting. It Is ex pected the same rules of order used In other sub-boards will be used. D. M. Donaugh, Professor Edward Cur tis, E. B. Madden and J. G. Chapman, of the Sellwood Sub-Board, and H. R. Nelson, of Brooklyn, were present and made short, encouraging talks. These speakers called special attention to the proposed cannery enterprise which is be ing promoted by Sellwood and Wfilsburg as one of the things in which Wood stock and surroundsings are interested. The matter of roads was also discussed. On motion Oscar Bellinger, A. B. Clark and J. R. Glistrap were made a commit tee to ask the County Court to gravel the cycle path on the Kelly road to the top of the Mann hill. It was decided to hold a general mass meeting next Wednesday evening for re organization. C. W. Miller and others of the Portland Board of Trade will be pres ent and address the meeting. Every citi zen of Woodstock will be invited to attend. East Ninth-Street Route. There Is a disposition to favor East Ninth street as the route for a cycle path to connect with the Oregon City path, leaving out Mllwaukle street. A Sellwood Sub-Board committee recom mended this street In preference to Mll waukle, but was willing that the path should be built on the latter street rather than get none. The grade of. East Ninth from Holgate northward to Ellsworth street Is moderate. It will not be ob jected to by residents, and there are no street-car tracks or water mains to hin der. The Cycle Association favored Mll waukle street, as the cost of construction would be much less, but It Is evident that it is impracticable to build there. Mount Tabor Notes. N. S.

An import ant conference between the traffic offi cials of the Southern Pacific and the Oregon Railroad & Navigation Company will be held at the general offices of the Southern Pacific In this city during the next few days. The conference will be gin tomorrow. Ben Campbell, traffic manager of the O. R. & N. Co., arrived from Portland today. He will be joined tomorrow by A. L. Craig, general passenger agent of the company. C. H. Markham, general freight and passenger agent of the Southern Pacific lines in Oregon, Is also here from the north. The purpose of the gathering Is not made entirely clear and It has provoked some disquieting rumors concerning possible changes and consolidations in Coast agencies. Incidentally, the officials of the two lines will discuss a number of mat ters pertaining to the east-bound soldier traffic, the Epworth League movement, and other matters of mutual Interest concerning freight and passenger traffic. There has been some talk of late that the new relationship established between the Southern Pacific and Union Pacific, O. R. & N. Co., and Oregon Short Line might make It advisable In the esti mation of the traffic officials of the sev eral lines to bring about a consolidation of agencies throughout the country. It has been suggested that the Union Pa cific and the O. R. & N. agencies In this city might be closed or at least be brought under the domination and con trol of the Southern Pacific. This was a matter, however, on which Traffic Manager Campbell professed to be en tirely Ignorant. President Mellcn's Position. A special dispatch from New York to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat has the fol lowing relative to President Mellen and the Northern Pacific: "The tenure of office of President Charles S. Mellen, of the Northern Pa cific, Is In doubt. Both Mr. Morgan and Mr. Hill are reticent on this subject, but friends of the last named say unreserved ly that If Mr. Morgan will remain pas sive In the matter Mr. Hill will be able to demonstrate to Mr. Mellen that he can be more comfortable elsewhere. There are many Wall-street men, however, who say that Mr. Morgan will not consent to any change In the executive management of the Northern Pacific, because President Mellen's administration has been con spicuously successful." Railroad Notes. It is aid that the salary of J. V. Ma honey, as chairman of the Western freight pool, will be $10,000 a year, or J2500 more than was paid H. H. Courtrlght, his predecessor. The estimated gross earnings of the Il linois Central for the fiscal year ending the 30th of last 'month are $42,000,000, against $32,611,976 the preceding year. It Is expected the surplus for the year will be about $3,110,000, against $2,457,720. "Union Pacific System" in a conspicuous line Is being painted on the windows of the city ticket" office of the system. The Union Pacific shield and name were pre viously on the windows, but, from the nature of the design, the letters were not so large as those of the O. R. & N. and Oregon Short Line. It Is supposed that President Burt, on his recent visit, detect ed room for making the Union Pacific more prominent and the order for the new sign followed. The route for the new Chicago-Kansas City cut-off of the Milwaukee and St. Paul road has been definitely located. Ar rangements have been made with the Rock Island for the use of the latter's tracks from Davenport to Muscatine, a distance of 27 miles. From Muscatine a line will be built through Cone and Washington and connecting with the present main line of the Milwaukee & St Paul at Rutledge, four miles from Ottumwa. The cutoff will reduce the St. Paul's distance between Chi cago and Kansas City 37 miles. Information for Protectionists. Indianapolis News. The extreme protectionists ought to understand that they are not striking at "Babpock alone, but at hundreds of thou sands of Republicans who are warmly devoted to the party and at the mem ories of other great Republicans who all died in the faith. John Sherman, for instance, held precisely the theory now advocated by Mr. Babcock. General Gar field declared that he was In favor of that sort of protection that led to free trade. And until comparatively recent years there was practically no sentiment In fa vor of protection as a permanent policy. THERE IS A CLASS OF PEOPLE Who are injured by the use of coffee.

TRADE OF PORTO RICO OUR EXPORTS TO AND IMPORTS FROM THE ISLAND. Both Have Greatly Increased Under Porto Rlcan Act Figures Show ing the Gala. WASHINGTON, July 9. The prompt ac tion of the Porto Rlcan Legislature In notifying the President that tariff revenue between Porto Rico and the United States Is no longer required to meet the expenses of the island, and requesting that all tar iff between the island and the United States be Immediately abolished, in ac cordance with the provisions of the Porto Rican act, lends especial Interest to some figures just prepared by the Treasury Bu reau of Statistics regarding the commerce between Porto Rico and the United States since the Porto Rlcan act went into ef fect. The Porto Rican act, which It will be remembered, went Into effect May 1, 1900, provided that the United States tariff should apply in Porto Rico against all countries except the United States, and that the tariff rates between the United States and Porto Rico should be 15 per cent of the regular tariff rates for a term of two years, unless the Porto Rlcan Legislature should sooner than that time notify the President that it had made provision for local taxation to meet the necessities of the Government of Porto Rico, whereupon all tariff between the island and the United States should be abolished. This notification, according to the press dispatches from Porto Rico, has been duly made by the Legislature, the act signed by Governor Allen, and the President requested to abolish all customs duties on goods passing from the United States on July 25, 1901, as authorized by the act above referred to. The increase in commerce between Porto Rico and the United States which has fol lowed the Porto Rican act, by which 85 per cent of the tariff between Porto Rico and the United States was removed, has been very great, especially In exports from the United States to Porto Rico. The act went Into effect May 1, 1900, and the figures' for the month of April, 1901. therefore conclude the first year of com merce between Porto Rico and the United States under this act. In that year the imports from Porto Rico into the United States were $3,827,413, against $2,218,273 in the corresponding 12 months of 1899-1900. and $2,151,775 In the corresponding 12 months of 1897-98 an Increase of over 75 per cent, as compared with the 12 months ending April 30, 1898, when the island was under Spanish control. In ex ports from the United States to Porto Rico the Increase Is still more strongly marked, the exports to that Island during the first year under the Porto Rlcan act being $7,199,031. against $3,719,940 in the corresponding 12 months endlngwith April, 1900. and $1,856,627 in the corresponding 12 months ending with April, 1S9S, an Increase of nearly 300 per cent. To sum up the developments of trade between Porto Rico and the United States since the Porto Rlcan act abolishing 85 per cent of the tariff rates between that Island and the United States went into effect, as compared with conditions be fore the beginning of the war with Spain, It may be said that imports from Porto Rico have Increased 75 per cent, and exports to that Island have increased nearly SCO per cent. How far the abolition of the remaining 15 per cent of theDingley tariff rates and. the establishment of abso lute free trade between Porto Rico and the United States will further stimulate the commerce between the island and the ports in the United State can only be de termined by future developments.

Unprovoked Assault In a Mount Tabor Trolley Car. A cruel case of unprovoked assault took place last night at 9:10 o'clock on trolley car No. 79 at Mount Tabor, and as a re sult the victim-lies seriously Injured, with his skull probably fractured. A man whose name is said to be Foulkes, and who works for the Pacific Biscuit Com pany, entered the car with his wife and daughter and looked about for a seat, but the seats were fully occupied, and he asked a one-armed man who was sitting near the door to give up his seat. The man indicated, who was under the Influ ence of liquor, apparently did not hear the request, for he never moved. The husband then repeated his request in an angry tone, and on getting no reply the second time, he raised the walklng-cane he carried and smashed the one-armed man over the head. The victim fell Insensible, with the blood streaming from the wound in his head. The assailant appeared. to make light of the occurrence, for eye-witnesses state that he laughed and Joked on the way to the city. When Sunnyside was reached the Injured man was taken off the car by those who knew him, and presumably he received medical aid, but at an early hour this morning it was not possible to discover his name or the physician who attended him. The police are trying to find the injured man and his assailant. Up to the Filipinos. Brooklyn Eagle. A deal of humbug has happily been brushed out of the way. The Supreme Court decisions In the island cases Island, men and brethren, is a better word than insular have brushed much of it away. The Filipinos are not citizens. They are not to take part In Congress making or In President-making. They have no "right" to the ballot, though vot- ing In certain cases and under certain re strictions may be extended to them, and for cause of which those set over them will be the Judges taken away from them. The nonsense that voting Is a right, In stead of a privilege, that rank unfitness for it Is a prime qualification for It, and that a horde of mongrels are entitled to all the powers possessed by citizens of American states, has been retired from service by all but silly and phrenetic news papers. The United States Government is required to give to the Filipinos the opportunity to determine their condition by their conduct. Good conduct will insure easy conditions. Bad conduct wll Insure hard conditions. They can voluntarily be have well. If they voluntarily behave 111, they will be made to behave well by rorce. Obedience to what Is right will be re quired of them. That is the best require ment for them and for all In like case with them. Bliggcrson's Degree. Baltimore American.
