THE MORNING OREGONIAN, ,SAHUKJJA.r SEPTEMBER 14, 1901. 10 . PS SAME OLD THING Government Is Still Working Against Portland. PUGET SOUND PORTS FAVORED Commercial Bodies "Will 3Iake n Effort to .Stop tlie Discrimina tionSan Francisco Also Complains. Portland merchants regard the adver tisement of Quartermaster Huhlen, of Seattle, for 4000 tons of oats and 2500 tons of compressed hay, especially the pro vision for Seattle or Tacoma delivery, as another evidence of the Government discrimination against this port, which manifested itself in the Philippine trans port service. Portland, San Francisco, Seattle and Tacoma are the principal ports on the Pacific Coast. All are able to sell supplies to the Government at reasonable prices and. in the opinion of merchants, all should have an equal show at the business. But the Seattle Quar termaster is giving Pugct Sound all -the show. Portland, the cheapest of the ports, is given no chance to bid and San Francisco's chance has a string to it Quartermaster Ruhlcn's determination to give Seattle the best of it is shown by the following conditions which he imposes upon bidders: Proposals for the delivery of the supplies herein called for at San Francisco, Cal.. ha also been invited. The Government will re serve the privilege of accepting delivery at such place or iriaces as may be mot advan tageous to Its interests, cost of supplies offered and rate and facilities for transporting same to Manila being considered. Dellverr of the foregoing herein called for will be required in about equal quantities at Seattle and Tacoma. "Whenever it can be arranged the convenience of bidders in re gard to place of delivery whether at Se attlo or Tacoma will bo taken into considera tion; but the right is reserved to require delivery at either place, at the Quarter master's option, when the Interests of the Government makes this necessary to secure proper storage room. Delivery of oats will be required -on board cars or on ship or lighters alongside Gov ernment wharves at Tacoma and Seattle, "Wash. Each bidder should state where he proposes to deliver the quantity named in his bid, and aso the length or time he will re quire to furnish the same. Delivery of entire quantity offered must bo completed on or be fore October 10. 1801. Tho hay required must be merchantable Puget Sound or Eastern "Washington timothy bay of the b-st grade, perfectly sound and free from weeds, sticks or rubbish. The discrimination in favor of Seattle is so manifest that even the San Fran cisco papers have begun to protest against it and the Portland commercial organizations will take it up. Seattle merchants expect to charge the Govern ment from 518 to $20 a ton for the hay and $23 a ton for the oats. In all. about 5140,000 will be disbursed on Puget Sound for the forage for which Quartermaster Buhlen lias advertised, and Portland has been given no opportunity to bid except at a disadvantage. Portland couia fill the order -at prices close to $17 50 to $17 75 a ton .far hay and $22 a ton for oats. The dtavowmsSnt could save -several thousand dollars "by goading the" required supplies at,3?ortJand. The discrimination of the "War Depart ment against Portland last year is a matter of history. Of $6 transports loaded on the Pacific Coast, 51 were sent from San Francisco, 30 from Puget Sound and Ave from Portland. The freight which was brought -from the-East for the San Francisco and Puget Sound transports could have been landed at Portland and put aboard the vessels at as low cost as at San Francisco or Seattle. The ex penses of the steamers are no greater at this port than at San Francisco or Se attle, as nearly all the vessels were under charter on the per diem basis, -which gave the Government freedom to send them to any port for their cargoes. Early in the year the Government re voked the order sending the Thirty-fifth Segiment to Portland and followed up with an order giving Seattle the best of it in the matter of loading the Kintuck. As the War Department has "set ways," it probably Is too late to do any thing with Quartermaster Ituhlen, but an effort will be made to prevent such discrimination in the future. Sentiment among Portland merchants is voiced In the statement which President Hahn, of the Chamber of Commerce, made yester day. He said: "'There 1s no doubt that there is a studied effort to discriminate against this port. We do not know at, whose door to lay the blame, but we feel that this matter should be fully Investigated, and our delegation in Congress should leave no stone unturned to correct the abuse. I can see no good reason why our people should be compelled to sell their forage for $1 to $1 50 less per ton as they must do in the face of the pres ent discrimination, when they sell to Pu get sound." Bornard Albers, of the Albers & Schnei der Co., will protest to Senator Mitchell against the discrimination in favor of Seattle. He said last night that his firm will make a bid for the supplies for which Quartermaster Ruhlen has adver tised. ALASKA'S NEW CAPITAL. Rev. G. M. Irvrin Tells of the Pros pects of Juneau. G. M. Irwin, ex-State Superintendent of Public Instruction, is at the Imperial, having arrived from Juneau yesterday morning. He is now publisher of the Alaska Record-Miner, having resigned his pastorate of the M. E. Church of Juneau several months ago. Mr. Irwin likes Alaska and Is content to make Juneau his permanent home. ""The climate," he said, "is not at all disagreeable and last Winter the coldest we had was six degrees above. The stationary temperature was about 30, or a little under the freezing point, but there was a lot of snow. By early Spring tills snow packed down to a solid mass five feet deep, but It disappeared within 10 days when the temperature rose to. the required height. "Juneau is bound to be the metropolis of Alaska, as all travel has to go by there, and last Congress made it the capital of the territory. Next Congress will probably provide for the removal of the officials and archives from Sitka, and then Juneau will be tne oclal, as it is now the business center of Alaska. The mining business, now only in Its Infancy, is destined to become a great industry, and so my mining journal is being pub lished In the right place for future busi ness.' In reference to the sinking of the steamer Islander, which went to the bot tom within 10 miles of Juneau, Mr. Ir win said there was no doubt about the cause of the accident being due to a dfuriken captain and pilot. "It is well established," he said, "that there was a. Jamboree going on in the cabin at the time the vessel struck. The captain pre vented the pilot from heading the vessel -for -the-beach, and so.the loss of life was unnecessarily heavy. The proportion of women and children lost shows there was no order or discipline after the crash. The marine authorities at Van- couver, B. C, , seem to be trying hard to exonerate those in charge of the vessel, but the people of Juneau think they know who was to blame in the matter." Mr. Irwin will remain In Oregon for a few weeeks, attending to business mat ters and visiting friends, before return ing North. MANY TROOPS ARE MISSING The Situation In Colombia Is Very Grnve. WASHINGTON, Sept. 13. The Consul at Maracalbo, Venezuela, has informed the State Department, under date of August 31, that no disquieting news has been received from the State of Tachira, but that the situation on the frontier of the Indian territory of Lagoagira is very grave, and that large bodies of Colombian troops are missing. Several small fights between them and the Venezuelan troops have taken place and many wounded have been brought to Maracaibo. Kecruitlng is going on daily, animals and steers are being taken for government service, and the commerce of the region is crippled. The Colombian Legation last night re ceived a long cablegram from the State Department at Bogota, the Colombian capital, reporting everything quiet there. U. Photo by Hitter. SIGHTED OFF THE COLUMBIA LAST EVENING. News was received from Astoria last night that the cruiser Philadelphia had been sighted off the Columbia about 5 P. M. The Philadelphia has on board 70 members of the Naval Reserve, under Lieutenant-Commander R. E. Davis. She left Astoria September 0, and was to have relumed Wednesday. The reason for the delay of -two days in the return of the cruiser Is not known. ottt ------ and a lack of official news regarding the bombardment of Rio Hacha by the Vene zuelan tleet. The Legation has received a letter from the Colombian Minister at Quito, JScuador, dated August 28, saying that the Ecuador Government has given him the most friendly assurances of an Intention to maintain strict neutraltly to ward Colombia. The Legation here gives credence to this report of Ecuador's neu tral policy. Steamer Presetl Into Service. COLO;, Colombia, Sept. 13. The steamer Alexander, Bixi.,, belonging, to the French Trans-Atlantic .-Company, left Curacao September 4 for Colon, by way of Sa vinalla and Cartagena, and was due here September 8. Her nonarrlval at this port is causing much anxiety. There are no means of communicating with Savlnllla and Cartagena, and It is surmised that the government is enlisting the Blxlo in the transportation of troops. Affairs at Boeas del Toro continue un changed. There has been practically no fighting. Commerce, however, is still suf fering. ANXIOUS DAY IN LONDON. Stream of Inquirers at the United States Embassy. LONDON, Sept 13. All day long anxious Americans streamed into the United States Embassy in the hope of obtaining later news than was contained In the newspaper bulletins. In addition to the Americans, many prom inent Englishmen and colonials called, the former 'including Schomburg McDonnell, principal private secretary of Lord Salis bury, and Eric Barrlngton, of the For eign Office, in behalf of Lord Lansdowne. The Lord Mayor of London, Frank Green, also called at the Embassy to formally express his sympathy. Dismay pervaded all classes here. Among the numerous messages received at the Embassy ,was another dispatch from King Edward to Ambassador Choate, It was dated at Copenhagen, and read: "I am deeply grieved to learn that the President's state of health has caused great anxiety. I sincerely hope that his life may yet be spared. EDWARD, R." His Majesty Is expected to arrive in London Saturday. All the evening papers have most tender references to McKlnley. The Pall Mall Gazette concludes its editorial as follows: "We can only express the universal feeling of earnest prayerf ulness that Pres ident McKinley may recover even yet. It is not too much to say that the whole Anglo-Saxon race is kneeling at his bed side, clinging to hope so long as hope exists." At the Rothschilds, a representative of the Associated Press was told that the effct on the Stock Exchange could not be foretold, but they said that everything was being done to prevent a panic, which they consider doubtful.

SHIP SAMOENA ARRIVES MADE VOYAGE FROM MOLLENDO IN 07 DAYS. Twelve Grain-Carriers Jn Port, Whose Aggregate Tonnage Is 22,- 416 Vessels That Are Due. v The overdue British ship Samoena en tered the Columbia River yesterday. She made a voyage of 67 days from Mollendo, having sailed from that port. July 28. The vessel is of steel, and of 1869 tons net register. Her charterers are Kerr, GIfford & Co. The arrival of the Samoena had been expected for at least a week, as the average time of passage from Mollendo at this time of the year is from 50 to 60 days. Half a dozen vessels are due at the Co lumbia River, and may sail Into port any day. Among them is the German bark Favorita, 56 days out from Iqulque; the British bark Mayfleld, 71 days out from Valparaiso; the German ship Renee Rlck mers, 38 days out from Nagasaki, and the British bark East Indian, 67 days out S. CRUISER PHILADELPHIA. ------ from Valparaiso. The French bark Bour bakl Is 123 days out from St. Nazalre. There are now 12 grain ships 'In port, two of which, the Galgate and the Hll ston, have . loaded and gone down the river. The vessels aggregate 22,416 net tons. They are: Tons.

After her will prob ably come the Glenturret and the Suth erland, for grain, and the Adato and Thyra, for lumber. These and the In drapura and Indravelll, and several other steamships which are said to be headed here for wheat, will lend much activity to the Portland harbor. IX ALASKA WATERS. Cruise of the Grant Iceberg That Sank the Islander. The United States revenue cutter Grant has returned from the north to Puget Sound, says a Port Townsend paper. The Grant sailed three months ago, with Col onel Howard M. Kutchln, special agent of the Treasury Department, on board, who was sent North to Inspect the can neries of Alaska for the purpose of see ing that theywe re not violating the law In regard to fishing In Alaska waters. Sixty-eight canneries were visited. With the exception of a few minor Infractions they were complying with the regulations. The most westerly canneries on the Alaska coast are at Bristol Bay, and that cannery, according to Captain Tozler, Is the only one that has made a pack equal to that of last year. The output of Alaska, however, will be greater this year than last, but this Is due to the fact that a large number of new canneries have been started. At the old fishing points the pack fell considerably short of last sea eon. Th-a Grant reports that the hatcheries are In good condition, especially at Kar luk, and that by next season each can nery will maintain Individual hatcheries. At Chllkoot the head chiefs of the Chll koot and Dyea tribes, together with about 60 of the leading members of the tribes, called upon Colonel Kutchln and made many complaints against the whites for encroaching upon their fishing grounds. The burden of their complaints was to the effect that the nets and'seln9 of the white man were so numerous that the salmon were prevented from entering tbe streams In large numbers and that they found It difficult to catch enough fish for their Winter supply and livelihood. Colo nel Kutchln explained to them that there was no law to prevent such action on the part of the whites, and at their solicita tion he promised to submit their com plaints to the proper authorities. Ever since the establishment of can neries in the Chllkoot country these In dians have looked with disfavor upon the white man, and some years ago the In dlons would make nightly raids on the seines and cut them, so that the cannery people had to guard the nets. On several occasions shots were exchanged, but no one was hurt. Captain Tozler reports that prospectors on the Kuskokwlm River, when he was there, were on the eve of starvation, and that a schooner loaded with supplies had been sent to them. He also reports that a large number of men had gone to that section early In the Spring, but they had failed to find more 'than a trace of gold, and that as a mining section It was a complete failure. The Grant passed over the scene of tne wreck of the Islander the next day after it took place, and Captain Tozler states that the Ice floe was so great that he found some difficulty in picking his way, and in places the Ice was so thick that under a slow bell he had to force his way through. STRIKE AT ABERDEEN. Shipbuilding Is Stopped and Bnsi ness Is Seriously Affected. ABERDEEN, Wash., Sept. 13. Tho strike Is having a serious effect on busi ness here. So far one mill company has shut down Its plant to await the out come. No ships will be started in the shipyards until the conditions change, al though there were orders ahead to keep a full force busy at both shipyards the entire year. Other mill men will not stop their plants until they have sawed so much lumber that it will not pay to over- stock any further. , The longshoremen here are refusing to unload vessels com ing from San Francisco and shipowners have been obliged to advertise for men to do the unloading, Ir. is said that money has been sent by sympathizers here to the 'strikers in San Francisco. Notwith standing, the Anderson & Middleton Lum ber Company Is building one of the largest storage sheds to be found on the Sound. The- longshoremen declare, how ever, they are not refusing on account ot the strike, but because there is too much work for the number of men here. Peary's Achievement. NORTH SYDNEY, C. B., Sept. 13. In a letter dated Conger, April 4, 1901, Lieutenant Peary summarized the result of his year's work as follows: First The rounding of the northern limit of the Greenland Archipelago, the most northerly known land in the world, probably the most northerly land. Second The highest latitude yet at tained in the Western Hemisphere, S3 degrees, 50 north. Third The determination of the origin of the 80-caJled "paleocrystlc ice," (floe berg) etc. She Cannot Go on the Tyr. ASTORIA, Sept. 13. When the steam ship Tyr arrived down the river this morning the custom-house officers - -- a brought ashore from her Miss Solomon, who' was said to be a passenger. As the steamship Is not licensed to carry passengers, it was not possible for her to make the trip. Movements of Grain Ships. The Ecuador will be the next vessel which will clear from Portland. After her will go probably the St. Donatlen or the Dunbrltton, both of which will be loaded immediately. The Dunbrltton was chartered several days ago for 40 shillings for prompt loading. Yesterday she moved across the river from Sand to Montgom ery dock to receive cargo. The Falls of Halladale Is discharging ballast at Weldler's mill. The St. Donatlen Is at Greenwich dock. The Lonsdale is an chored In the stream, and will probably go to Elevator dock today. The Hilston started down the river yesterday, towed by tho Harvest Queen. That steamboat will probably come back with the Sa moena, and return to Ast'oria with the Ecuador. Baldivin-Zeisler Expedition. CHRISTIANIA, Sept. 13 A message, dated August 5, and received by way of Hammerfest, from Evlyn B. Baldwin, head of the Baldwln-Zelgler north pole expedition, says: , "America, latitude 78, longitude 38. Seeking passage northward through ice. All well." Baric Thetis Lost. A dispatch from Lloyd's yesterday an nounces that the British bark Thetis, Cap tain Thomas, has foundered, and that all on board are supposed to have been lost. This Is not the same bark Thetis which took a cargo of grain from Portland early in 1895. The Peary Arctic Steamer. NORTH SYDNEY,, C. B., Sept. 13.

Lockwood on the different advantages of various dredges used la the East. Mr. Lockwood left Portland last August, for the purpose of comparing the workings of Eastern dredges with those of Port land and the Coast, and his report was rather voluminous, dealing largely In fig ures and estimates. He visited New York City, Boston. Toledo, Newberg, N. Y., and various points on the Mississippi River, and took notes of the workings of hy draulic, ladder, clamshell and dipper sys tems, the amounts of horsepower used, the number of men employed, tons of coal burned dally, and amount of material moved. The Portland of Portland dredge, he thought, compared favorably with them all, though he found Individual points of excellence in the cutting power, hoisting or delivery of many. After summing up the points of all, Mr. Lockwood concluded to recommend a 24 lnch centrifugal dredge for the Port of Portland. This dredge should be sup plied with spud gear. The engines should be at least 1000 horsepower; the hull should be 175 feet long, with beam of 36 feet. Such a machine should be able to move 900 cubic yards per hour, and the average number of working hours in each month should reach 500, with the excep tion of one month, during which the dredge should be laid by for repairs. Mr. Lockwood's report was listened to with great interest, and at Us conclusion he was asked a good many questions as to details. The commission did not de cide last evening to act on the report, but the paper "will be retained for future reference. TO PUT GRASS ON SAND. Specialist From Washington Exam ining Shores of the Colnmbln. THE DALLES, Or., Sept. 13. Upon his recent visit to this state, GIfford Pln chot, chief forester of the Agricultural Department, accompanied Representative Moody down the Columbia for the pur pose of viewing the drifting sands bor dering on the river, which are such a serious question to railroad traffic. He has now sent William L. Hall, a spe cialist from his department, to examine the situation carefully, with a view of co-operating with the railroad company In the reclamation of the sand dunes. Mr. Hall, who has recently been Investigat ing the sand hills of Kansas, Nebraska and Utah, contemplating a system of reclamation by means of forage plants, arrived here yesterday, and today he was taken over the road between this point and Arlington, where the sand drifts are largest, on a railroad velocipede, with an employe of the company. It Is expected that he will spend a couple of days In that section, returning to The Dalles early In the week and beginning an examination of the beach between here and Hood River. Professor E. S. Meany, of the Washing ton State University, visited Portland yesterday. Colonel Frank J. Parker, the well known Walla Walla newspaper man, who has been spending two months on hl9 ranch near Elk City.
