ID THE MORNING OREGQNIAK, THURSDAY, JULY- 18, 1901 THYRATAKEN FOR LUMBER CHARTERED BY "PACIFIC EXPORT T J )LuaIBER COMPANY. ?Tvro Fast Ships Coming From Nevr- castle With, Coal Scarcity o Sailors on Paget Sound. The Norwegian steamship Thyra, which has been lying Idle in this port since she was .released, by the Government from the transport service, was chartered yester day by her agent, P. a. du Flon, to the Pacific Export Lumber Company, to load lumber for the Orient. This makes a total of six big steamships under char ter to that company, and at least half of the fleet will receive their cargoes at Portland within the next 30 days. Since her release from the Government serv ice the Thyra has "been thoroughly over hauled, cleaned and repainted, and is now in first-class shape. She will move over to the west side of the river at once and commence loading. She has never taken e cargo of lumber from this port, but as she is a big freight-carrier, It is expect ed that she will carry at least 2,800,000 feet of lumber. The charter of this Bteamer, -which, like the rest of the fleet, was taken on a time charter, gives the Pacific Export Lumber Company a fleet which has a combined carrying capacity of fully 8,000,000 feet of lumber. Portland's rail lumber trade has for a long time been much greater than that of any other port on the Pacific Coast, and if the Pacific Export Lumber Com pany continues to expand it operations for another year In the same proportion bs it has In the past two years, the water lumber trade of the port will also be breaking records. aiAXYLIYES IMPERILLED. Steam Yacht "Wild DticIc Cuts Down Joy Liner Tremont. NEW LONDON, Conn., July 17. With 10 feet of her bow cut off cleanly in a collision with the steam yacht Wild Duck, the steamer Tremont, of the Joy Line, which left Boston yesterday for New York, with 300 passengers, was towed into New London and beached today. All her passengers had been transferred to other steamers in the Sound and continued their trip to New York. Captain Wilcox, of the Tremont, says the night was perfectly clear and the steamer was proceeding on her usual course, when about 12 miles -west of Cornfield Light, at midnight, a schooner-rigged steam yacht was made out on the bow. The officers of the Tre mont supposed that the yacht would pass astern of the vessel, as her course seemed to be on a line diagonal of that of the Tremont. No danger was thought of until the Vacht had approached to within a quar ter of a mile, when she was hailed from the Tremont, and no answer was received. When too late the Tremont attempted to change her course to avoid the impend ing collision. -The sharp prow of the yacht struck her about 30 .feet back of the port bow, and sheered "diagonally across, coming out on the starboard side. The tforce of the Impact was sufficient to throw passengers from their bunks and caused the greatest excitement among them for a time, but the officers of the Tremont maintained discipline. The steamer City of Worcester and the City of Lowell were both near by, and promptly went to the assistance of the Tremont. The passengers were at once transferred to the City of Lowell. The crew of the Tremont remained on board the vessel, and the. ..captain accepted an offer of the steamer New Hampshire for assistance to New London. Immediately after the accident the Gteam yacht backed away from the Tre mont and left immediately, coming into New London Harbor early today. From shore it appeared that she had sustained considerable injury to her stem. Captain Wilcox Insists that If proper lookout had been kept In the yacht, the collision would not have occurred. The accident to the Tremont is the eecond misfortune that has come to the Joy Line fleet within three weeks, the steamer Old Dominion or that line being now on the rocks oft Rye Beach, where she struck on a foggy night. - The schooner-rigged steam yacht Wild TJuck is an Iron vessel, owned by General Trancis V. Greene, of New York. The m yacht .has been chartered to "United States "Senator Aldrich. of Rhode Island, who "Kith his wife and daughter was on board lasf nisht, making a trip from New York to Narragansett. Senator Aldrich says he and his family were asleep In the cabin when the collision occurred, and were awakened by the crash and the men of the crew sleeping In the forecastle were thrown from their bunks. The plates of the yacht's stem were Indented and bent to one side badly and the bowsprit was carried away. COALS FROM XEWCASTLE. High Grain Freights Enable Import . ers to Secure Cheap' Coal. The O. R. & N. Co. is bringing a couple of cargoes of coal from Newcastle. Aus tralia, and the vessels engaged for the service are two of the fastest clippers in the British merchant marine. One of them is the famous Clackmannanshire, which has more fast passages to her credit than anything that has worn can vas since the days of the Dreadnaught and the Young America. The other Is the British ship Cleomene, which Is also something of a scorcher on the ocean wave, and has made a number of rattling TUns in various parts of the world. Both of the ships, have made a number of pas sages to Portland, the Clackmannanshire being exceptionally well known in this port. In addition to the two cargoes men tioned; the British ship Torrldon is also reported under engagement to load coal at Newcastle for Portland. It has been over a year since any New castle coal ships came to Portland, but the high grain freights out of Pacific Coast ports has enabled importers to se cure very low rates for ships coming in this direction, and has given the busi ness a new start. The British ship Tox teth, which arrived at San Francisco from Newcastle with coal June 15, has refused a wheat charter at 29s 6d for spot load ing. In commenting on the matter, the Call says: "The firm that made the offer deemed it a very liberal- tme, as the Toxteth will carry nearly 5000-tons of wheat, but the owners did not"iook at It In the same "light As no higher bid was made, the ship has been taken to Martinez, and will lay up there until rates reach the owners expectations or drop out of sight. Of the Dther disengaged vessels in port, the Willy Plckmers and Otto Glldemeister are tied .up owing to -the strike, the Maxwell and Allerton will probably be chartered this week, and the Henry B. Hyde and Henry Falling will probably Joad for Australia or China. The steamships Arab and" Ala meda also figure among the- disengaged fleet but they also are tied up because of the strike." VERY EXPENSIVE DELAY. British Ship Clnverdon Loses Thou sands Throujrli Scarcity of Sailors. The British ship Claverdoh, which fin ished loading a wheat cargo at Tacoma June 29, has been held up since that date waiting for a crew, and it is still a mat ter of uncertainty when she will secure one. At current freight rates the carry ing capacity of a ship is easily $150 per day, so that the Claverdon has already lost JS000 by the delay at Tacoma. If this delay to a ship had happened at Portland, the Tacoma papers would have printed long-winded discourses about the disad vantages of Portland as a shipping port, pfr;as it is all happening In Tacoma, -tpe -matter is dismissed 'with brief men tion. The Eaton Hall has also finished loading at Tacoma, and Is awaiting a crew. Sailors are scarce all over the 'Coast, and the Seamen's Union Is making the most of it. Sailors who ship on coast- crs "for the run" from San Francisco to Puget Sound are demanding $50 for the trip, and for the down voyage they exact $40. Thus far Portland ships have been handled with but slight delay, the com bined delays of all of the grain ships that have left here In the past six months being less than that of the Clav erdon on Puget Sound. STEAMER THYRA LIBELLED. Widow of Workman Killed on the Vessel Sues lor Damages. The Norwegian steamer Thyra, lying at Duniway dock, on the East Side, was li belled yesterday in the United States Dis trict Court for the sum of $5000 damages, Mrs. August Castro, widow of A. W. Cas tro, being plaintiff In the suit. Mrs. Cas tro, as administratrix of her husband's estate, avers that on July 2, 1901, A. W. Castro had charge of the work of repair ing and altering the electrical, plumbing and ventilating appliances on board the vessel; that a certain hatchway amidships was left open, and this, being under roof, the dangerous condition of said hatchway could not be detected In the dark. Castro fell through the opening and sustained such injuries that he died three days af terward. The plaintiff therefore prays for a judgment In the amount of $5000, to gether with costs and disbursements of suit. United States Deputy Marshal Rob erts took charge of the vessel yesterday evening, pending the result of the suit. Dan J. Malarkey is attorney for libellant. Xotlce to Mariners. Notice is hereby given of the following proposed changes In the aids to navigation In this district: Tongue Point Crossing Range Lights. July 28, 1901, a fixed white lantern light will be established on the high bank at the western entrance (inshore side) of the railroad cut at Tongue Point, Or., near the present range signals established by the Government dredge, to form the rear light of a range for the Tongue Point crossing. The color of the present buoy depot wharf-post light will be changed from white to red on the above date, and It will be used to form the front light of therange. ' By order of the Lighthouse Board. W. P. DAY, Commander U. S. N., Lighthouse Insp. The Jessie Departs. The well-known schooner Jessie left for Astoria yesterday morning, where she will put in two weeks repainting and cleaning up. Some Ave tons of once good flBh were taken along to feed the down-river carp and crabs, and the only token of the schooner's presence here Is a fishy smell at the foot of Pine street. All is now serene ip fish circles, and the Seattle deal ers have resumed their ancient solitary reign hereabouts. Captain White has gained some more or less valuable speci mens of Portland business men and meth ods, but otherwise the Jessie's voyage seems to have been entirely profitless. Return of the North-western. CHICAGO, July 17.-The steamship Northwestern, the first of a regular line to make the trip from Chicago to Europe, entered the harbor today amid a deafen ing salute of whistles from other craft. The round trip took 84 days, and it is ex pected this time will be greatly lowered the next voyage. The boat was in good condition, despite the ice encountered on her outward clip. Marine Notes. The Pak Ling is receiving cargo at a rapid rate, and, unless too much time is lost in shifting from one dock to another, will probably get away by the end of the month. The British ship Hilston sailed from Honolulu for this port July 5, and with an ordinary passage should reach Port land by the end of the month. She brings part cargo from Liverpool. The steamer Alliance, from San Fran cisco by way of coast ports, left Eureka, en route for this city, Tuesday evening, and Is due tomorrow. The Elder, from San Francisco, Is also due tomorrow. iDomcstic and Foreign Ports. ASTORIA, July 17. Sailed at 11:40 A. M. Steamer Columbia, for San Francisco. Condition of the bar at 5 P.

Papers Read at the Second Day's Session 'of the Trans-Missls- alppi Congress. . CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo., July 17. Fes tivities connected with the Trans-Mississippi Congress began today with a flower parade at 10 o'clock A large number of carriages, handsomely decorated, were in line. Among the addresses on the programme at the morning session of the congress was: "Department of Commerce ahd In dustry," by J. W. Noble, ex-Secretary of the Interior. St. Louis. Ex-Secretary No ble expressed" himself as opposed to a Department of Mines In the Government, . FOR A FREE SWIMMING BATH i-r Xa-ii i ?3 V JiV ,yi:if -V' Edward Holman. on the ground that ttie laws regulating mines are made by the state and not by the general Government. He favored a bureau of mines to disseminate information regarding methods of mining and treat ment of ores. A department of commerce, whose head should be a member of the President's Cabinet, he declared to be a necessity. The address of RoberS Graham, of Crip ple Creek, was in favor of a department of mining, whose head shall be a mem ber of the President's Cabinet. He told of some of the benefits agriculture has derived from Governmental aid and re cited some of the ways in which such a department would aid mining. Colonel Ed F. Browne, of Aspen, Colo., made an address on the same lines. He gave many statistics tto show the im portance of the mining Industry to tho whole country, declaring 'it better to fos ter It than to spend the same energy in promoting foreign commerce. Five mil lion miners In the mining regions of America, he thought would be better cus tomers for the farmers of this country than 20,000,000 European paupers. Mr. Browne declared that the mining industry had been misrepresented in Government rports; that more than 10 per cent? of the exports of the country last year were the unmanufactured products of- mining. Sidney Story, of New Orleans, made an CAPTAIN R. MssaHsaV v& SmUBS40i aBssaY ''$gv"?''Hc &4&sflHHBaasaBass9sM Baa " thMmbbHbBBHBBw LEAVES AMERICAN BOOK COMPANY AFTER LONG SERVICE. Captain R. L. Edwards, who has resigned his position as general agent of the American Book Company, served In the regular Army, and was stationed In Mon tana and other places In the West after the close of the Civil War. Then for some years he" was connected as civil engineer with railroad construction In the West. For the past 15" years he has been in the book business, with Van Ant werp, Bragg & Co. and the American Book Company, and for two-thirds of this period he has been located In Portland. Even people who have been opposed to some of the methods employed by the American Book Company In Oregon are free to say that the public schools of the state are In much better condition now than they were five or six years ago, and that a considerable part of the Im provement is due to the enterprise and energy of Captain Edwards In this field. interesting address on the building of the Nicaragua Canal. He declared that the building of Uhe canal by the United States Government was rendered more neces sary by the attitude of the European nations, which are discriminating against American products. The canal would en able Americans greatly to extend their trade In the Orient. He much preferred ttie Nicaragua route to that across the Isthmus of Panama. Sidney F. Lewis, of New Orleans, spoke on "Louisiana's Waterways," showing their importance to the state and to those adjo ining. He told of the improvements to which they were susceptible and de clared that the general Government should bear the expense. Leon Jastremski, of Baton Rouge, ex Consular representative of this Govern ment in Peru, spoke on the trade with the Pacific states of South America. He paid a .high tribute to the character of the people of Latin South America and showed the necessity for improved facili ties of trade with them. Among the most important resolutions referred were the following: By Gov ernor Fishback, of Arkansas, opposing ship subsidies; by Francis H. Thurber, of New York, favoring Government en couragement of transportation on land and sea, and the chartering of interna tional banks; by J. J. Jarvis. of the Mon etary League, favoring the remonetizaUon of silver. The committee on permanent organiza tion submitted its report, which was adopted. The following are the officers elected: President, John Henry Smith, of Utah; first' vice-president, Leon B. Ryson, of Iowa; second vice-president, L. Brad ford Prince, of New Mexico; third vice. I president. J. S. Wheelis,of Te'x&s; fourth' vice-president, ex-Governor Seay, of Okla homa. The other officers are chosen by the executive commltteeand will be named tomorrow morning. The members of the executive committee are selected by the different delegations. At the evening session Congressman Chester I. Long, of Kansas, spoke on the subject. "Our Trade Should Go Under Our LFiag," and Charles J. Moore, of Cripple r ... .. ... !-. ,--i "TVia ureeK, gave an niusirarqa leciuio u --"-Formation of the Cripple Creek and Lead vllle Mining Districts." Francis B. Thurber, of New York, pres ident of the United States Export Associa tion, closed the session with an address on "Wh'at Shall We Do With Our Sur plus Products?" He said that our great National resources In fields, forests, mines and factories demand wider markets; that there are 1500 millions of people in the world, and "the field Is the world." Now, In commerce, as in religion, while a pro tective tariff was necessary in the be ginning to develop the Infant Industries of the United States, there came a time when it became necessary to wean the Infant. As between the extremes of protection and free trade, reciprocity seemed to be the hapy medium and afforded an opportunity Several Portland men are very much In earnest over the movement to establish free swimming baths. Edward Holman, who pioneered the present effort, offered $500 to start the ball rolllnr. William Isensee. whose son was drowned last week, offers to give to any permanent association who will undertake the matter a house" and lot at East Sixteenth and Ells worth, which rent for $6 a month. There la room on tho lot for another house, and Mr. Isensee will under take to solicit enough material and laDor from mill men, contractors, hardware nierchants, paint dealers and mechanics to build the house free. The net annual income from the property would exceed $120 a year. This sum will pay nearly half the. cost of an attendant at the baths, counting, say, five months at $50 a month. C. R. Borqulst has offered to sub scribe $5, and X. A. Borqulst has handed The Oregonian $3 for the fund The Oregonian will act as custodian for any contributions to this cause. If a committee were to undertake the work of canvassing for funds, no doubt there will be generous and ample response. 06a-oa to provide the tariff "reformed by its friends." If they had the wisdom to do so, but if they did not, there would come a tidal wave of free trade sentiment that would be destructive to all our indus tries. Such friends of a protective policy as Mr. Blaine and President McKinley, Mr. Thurber said, recognized this, and all thorough friends of a protective tariff should support this policy, even If It does occasionally affect single Industries ad versely. The development of our trans portation system on land and sea Is neces sary to the command of the world's trade. On land we have developed our railway system by subsidies In land, money and mall pay, with the result that we are now getting superior transportation on land for less than half that of any other nation, and the same principle applied on the sea would accomplish similar results there. This, Mr. Thurber said, is a contest of nations for the world's trade, and our Government should back up. in all reasonable ways its own industry, wheth er of labor or capital, in the effort to keep the United States to the front. PLAGUE TURNS TO BLESSING Millions of FroRS at Ithaca, N. Y., Caught and Sold to Breeders. St. Paul Pioneer Press. ITHACA, N. Y., July 12. The plague of L. EDWARDS. frogs which so recently descended upon the fair City of Ithaca has not been with out its beneficent results. It has afforded many a small boy of Ithaca a chance to, earn spending money for a long time to come. Eastern frog-breeding companies, learning of the thousands of bactrachlans in Tompkins County, have sent letters and posters offering $1 a hundred for all frogs sent alive to their establishments. Yesterday large placards containing the terms of the offer were posted In con spicuous places about the city. No sooner did the small boy set his eye on them than he set to work to improve his time. Nets were quickly Improvised to entrap the reptiles. Tonight 4000 of the animals were ent to new climes. Many were causht by older hands. Their destination was the Massa chusetts Frog Company, of Ware, Mass.. and their senders were Charles H. Norrlu and John Boye, of this city. Many per sons in the First Ward of the city have taken up this vocation. The residents of the marshes along the inlet have worked all day preparing nets on piles and al ready hundreds of the little animals have been entrapped. Though the frogs are not as numerous or as troublesome as they were four days ago, thousands of them still swarm the marshes and pools along the" Inlet and in the lower portions of the city. Neve York Bay Collision. NEW YORK, July 17. The Staten Island Rapid- Transit ferry-boat West field, on her way to this city from St. George, Staten Island, with 100 passen gergt was in collision off Governor's Island at 12:15 P. M. with the steam boat Howard Carroll, of the Star Trans portation Company's fleet, which had a number of passengers on board bound to Glen Island. The Carroll struck the ferry boat amidships, almost disabling one of her paddle-wheels, while the Carroll had her bows damaged and was compelled to return to her pier In North River. The Westfield made her slip at the Battery In safety, and landed her passengers. GURIOUS HOLD-UP. Robber's Ballet Stopped by Thick Hair of Victim. With two large holes In the slouch hat he wore, large enough to admit a couple of bricks, a man who gave his name as J. Gillespie and said he was a collector on the East Side, ran into the police sta tion last night and stated that he had been held up and shot at, and robbed of $12 by an unknown man, on Fremont street, two hours previously. "I was walking along Fremont street," proceeded Gillespie, "when a strange man sprang up behind some bushes and point ed a revolver at me. and told me to halt. He fired two shots at me, which went through my hat. He made me come to him, took my revolver from me, and $12. Then he allowed me to go." "Show me your hat," said a detective who was present, and the man did so. It was then seen that one hole alleged to have been made by one bullet was In the crown of the hat, pointing down ward. "Do you 'mean to tell us that one bul let tore this hole In the center of your hat and did not Injure your head?" In quired the detective. "My hair is pretty thick," urged the alleged victim; "the bullet didn't injure my head In the least." The detective dexterously passed his right hand Into the man's side pocket and drew out a partly emptied bottle of whisky. The man then "guessed" he had better go home, and was advised to have a more complete story next time he Is robbed. He left the police station In a hurry. DAILY CITY STATISTICS. Marrlagre Licenses.

Everything that I ate disagreed with me. I suffered all the time with swim ming in my head: heart beat too fast; my feet and hands were cold all the time. Did not sleep well at all.
