GREAT MILITARY DRILL!

Willamette Valley Display.
By far the largest crowd of the season
attended the Exposition and Carnival last
night. The clearing -weather left an au
tumn smell In the crisp air, a harvest
moon swam enticingly in a dapple sky and
the people -went forth by thousands to
see the big Fair and hear the music The
feature of the evening programme was
the competitive drill.
Wonderful Display of Products.
The industrial and trade displays were
particularly Interesting, probably on de
count of the better weather and the larger
crowd. The agricultural exhibit spruced
up notably and drew a. great many" ad
ailrers. This department is under the
patronage of the two Oregon railroads of
the Harriman group the Southern Pacific
and the O. R. & If. Co. The Southern
Pacific has not only "broken its record for
displays of agricultural products and
wares along its Oregon lines, but Jt has
broken the record for any Oregon railroad
In a similar line, and this must be recog
nized as a notable achievement when the
crterprise of the O. R. & N. Co in this
line is remembered.
Real genius has been displayed In the
arrangement of the Southern Pacific's ex
hibit. There is a fine large apple tree,
transplanted from a Rogue Valley orch
ard, bearing a generous load of red
cheeked fruit, but dropping some of it
on the green sward that covers its roots.
Thtrc is a real hopyard with a scohe of
vines rather more than normally laden
with fragrant fruit, and a structure of
three-score of bales of hops bears a plac
ard with this interesting legend:
The Willamette Valley hop crop for 1900.
tributary to the lines of the Southern Pacific
Company, was 80.000 hales, aggregating 12.
200 000 pounds. It required 1250 cars to
transport the same, -which, if stretched into
in continuous line, would extend over a dis
tance of 10 miles in length. This quantity of
hops will make GOS.000,000 gallons of beer.
He who has been taught that corn is
not a good crop for Oregon hardly be
lieves his eyes to see nearly a whole
tide of the building covered with fresh
cornstalks, with great ears gleaming
thrr-ugh the ripened husks, grinning with
satisfaction and showing beyond possible
doubt that corn is a successful crop In
the "Willamette and Rogue River Valleys,
v.nrre these specimens came from. Many
of the stalks exceed 13 feet In length, and
Iowa or Nebraska -would have to stand
on tiptoe to equal them.
Grain of all kinds adorns the exhibit
and the building. The plain columns are
capitaled with serried rows of wheat and
bprley, and red-berried asparagus is band
ed below. Oats are woven into streamers
that droop from pillar to post, and are
trailed along the plain walls. Rye seven
feet tall stands in a corner, and the tall
est man looks up to it. As to grasses and
pumpkins, and melons and squashes, and
beets and turnips, and potatoes and toma
toes, and green and preserved fruits, pep
perst etc. there is no end, and they are
all creditable .specimens for any land.
Some novel art work in grains attracts
attention, such as a large ship, a donkey,
a plow, an eagle with shield, and over in
the O. R & N. section a full railroad
train. There is a large facsimile of the
Southern Pacific dating stamp or trade
mark made of "Willamette Valley wheat.
Some of the wheat specimens bear spiny
beards as long as six Inches. An inter
esting display of llax in various stages,
from that freshly pulled to the retted
fiber, comes from Scio. Clackamas tea
sels and sunflowers from everywhere are
in the collection. The agricultural experi
ment station at Corvallis la represented
"by a large number of specimens. Such
manufactured wares as flour, pine-needle
mattresses and fruit-evaporators are in
cluded in the Southern Pacific display.
The variety and excellence of the speci
mens and the admirable arrangement are
to be set to the credit of General Freight
and Passenger Agent Miller, who was as
sisted by Traveling Freight Agent Louns
bury and all the agents and many of the
business men and citizens along the
Southern Pacific lines. It is the first com
prehensive exhibit ever made of the prod
ucts of that territory, and it is In every
"nay commendable.
Good Amusement Features.
The amusement features of the exposi
tion and carnival are unusually good this
j ear. arid the attractive programmes un
doubtedly draw a large percentage of the
daily attendance. Hermann's sensational
ride down the stair incline from a pedes
tal 75 feet high is the central feature and
the perilous trip has made a decided hit.
The feat is thrilling and to the onlookers
decidedly dangerous. Hermann made the
ride yesterday both afternoon and even
ing, and each performance was viewed by
tl'ousands. The descent -was made in
safety, but the possibilities of a tragic
interruption should an a"ccident occur im
preed the audiences, and sighs of relief
were audible when the rider glided from
the incline to the ground and back-pedaled
vigorously to check the speed gained
in the descent.
To an Oregonian reporter Hermann said
that the countless successful perform
ances of the feat had not by any means
removed the sense of the dangerous re
sult of an accident while coming down
the stairs. "'I have never been hurt while
on the incline," said Hermann, "but that
doesn't prove that I still will always be
as fortunate. Performers who attempt
difficult feats sooner or later meet with
accidents, and it may be my turn next.
How do I feel during the ride? I hardly
think one has time to analyze his feelings
during the brief two seconds consumed in
traversing the distance from top to bot
tom. My work is cut out for me from
the moment I start from the top until. I
land safely at the "bottom. It isn't long
two seconds but a lot could happen if
things went wrong, and my mind is en
tirely occupied in seeing that they don't
go wrong.
"Curious, Isn't it, that the only acci
dents have been after the wheel has left
the incline and is on the straight-away
path? In one Instance the frame broke
and I was tossed a considerable distance
fortunately without any serious harm.
On another occasion one of the pedals
broke, and I went shooting through the
air with an impetus sufficient to cause
several painful bruises as the result of
the fall. Of course, I take all the pre
cautions that can be thought of. The
wheel is an ordinary road machine, and
is no more strongly built than the aver
age. I examine it carefully before mak
ing the ride and test the different parts
to detect any sign of weakness. These
precautionary examinations frequently re
sult in discoveries that if unnoticed would
result most seriously.
""Usually, in making a ride of this sort,
the performers have a line painted in
the middle, running from top to bottom,
and keep as close to this as possible. 1
have no guiding marks of any nature,
and trust entirely to my own judgment
to keep sufficiently near to the center not
to leave the stairs."
In addition to Hermann, an attractive
vaudeville programme is .presented both
afternoon and evening in the music hall.
The Christians, in a novel skating act,
are entertaining and their turn has the
charm of novelty. Difficult evolutions,
fancy figures and acrobatic stunts are
cleverly done by the two performers. The
quartet of Alpine Todlers Introduce songs
of their country, with side excursions into
grand operas in German and English.
AH Zada the Oriental necromancer, has
a budget of interesting feats in magic
and has proved a favorite with the audi-
ences. The feature of the bill is reserved
for the last the Lundgreens. in a sensa
tional revolving ladder act. That the peo
ple appreciate it is shown by the fact
that they wait for the turn, although it
is the last on the programme. In the
east wing, a Punch and Judy show holds
forth and in addition there are dally at
tractions on Multnomah field.
The management has so arranged the
programmes that there is a continuous en
tentalnment provided. The DeCaprlo
band concerts between the other attrac
tions are listened to by large crowds and
excellent music is provided.
Military Drill.
Thousands of people were scattered
over Multnomah Field while the military
companies were competing on the oval.
The bright arc lights and a dozen calcium
lights threw a glare over the field that
made every movement of the soldiers as
plainly visible as If the drill had been con
ducted In the broad light of day. On the
oval, sawdust had been spread, giving the
men a solid footing and making the field
clean and smooth in appearance.
The companies of the regimen made
their appearance at S:30. headed by the
Third Regiment band. The soldiers
marched straight into the Exposition
building, and down the stairs into the
Held, the noise of the bugles, the music
of the band, and the quick, sharp com
mands of the officers drawing the crowd
from all points of the building, and caus
ing a flutter by their unexpected entry.
The four companies, C, E and F, of the
Third Regiment, of Portland, and Com
pany A of Eugene, of the Fourth Regi
ment, marched onto the field In command
of Lieutenant-Colonel Jubitz, and with
the band at their head were put through
the formations for dress parade, and later
passed In review before the judges of the
competition. Colonel James A Jackson,
"U. S. A; Major Eastman, of the Twenty
eighth United States Infantry, and First
Lieutenant Harry Mitchell, of the artillery
oranch of the service. The guardsmen
put up an excellent appearance, and the
attentive way the orders were executed
and the general excellence of all the com
panies Indicated what was soon demon
strated, that the contest was to be ex
ceedingly close.
Companies B and D, of Seattle, which
had entered the drill, did not arrive, and
a telegram was read from First Lieu
tenant "W. M. Inglis stating that the com
panies would leave Seattle this morning,
arriving at 3 P. M., to compete in this
evening's contests.
The companies competing last night for
the prize of 5100 and a second prize of
$50 were Company A of Eugene, In com
mand of Captain Huston; Company F, of
Portland, in command of Captain F. S.
Baker, and Company C, in command of
Captain Arthur Clothier. The first com
pany to march on the field after the regi
mental drill was over was Company A, of
Eugene. The company put up an excellent
appearance, marched in good order and
was prompt to a man in the execution
of orders. The men were put through the
manual of arms by counts, the manual
without counts, then the company drill.
and at last stacked arms and went
through the setting-up exercises. The
judges, representing the cavalry, in
fantry and artillery branches of the United
States Army, kept a sharp watch upon
all these movements, and marked the
company upon the way each order was
executed. The Eugene lads showed good
training and discipline, and when they
marched off the field to give way to Com
pany F. Captain Baker in command, they
received hearty applause from the spec
tators. The first Portland company was steady
as a veteran organization, and went
through the manual of arms with few in
dividual breaks. The men were of a more
uniform size, and if anything were more
as a unit in executing the orders than
the Eugene company. Company F went
through a test that demonstrated their
steadiness. They had just completed part
of the company drill when the prepara
tions were made for Hermann's daring
ride. A minute was given for rest, and
just as the red lights began to fiare and
the cyclist was seen to mount his wheel
to make the descent, the order "Atten
tion" was given. The men faced the other
way from the attractive spectacle, and
went through the maneuvers like automa
tons, while the attention of the crowd was
diverted to the sight of the whizzing form
of the bicycle rider dashing down the in
cline. In the midst of the excitement
and shouts of wonder, not one of the
company lost his head nor failed to give
attention to his company commander.
The last company to go through the
drill was Captain Arthur Clothier's, Com
pany C, also of Portland and the Third
Regiment. His company had had a long
and tedious wait before starting on the
field, but the movements were gone
through with precisely and with spirit.
Captain Clothier had his men in excellent
control, and they fully equaled the other
contestants, in steadiness. By this time
the crowd had thinned somewhat, and the
stimulus of applause was absent. This
did not cast a damper on the spirits of
the men, who went through the drill
smoothly and In excellent unison.
The fact that the prizes are not to be
awarded until next Monday evening, when
Governor Geer will make the presenta
tion to all the prizewinners, made specu
lation rife as to the company making
the best showing last night. Each com
pany had partisans, and each had special
points of merit. The decision will be a
close one, whichever one is awarded the
coveted honor.
"I wouldn't want to be a judge," re
marked a prominent officer of the Na
tional Guard last evening after the drill
was finished. "I believe if I were a judge
I should wait to see how the other judges
voted and swing with the majority."
The military programme for this even
ing will be more interesting than last
night's, which was especially designed to
stimulate close attention In the guards
men to the details of the manual of arms.
Tonight five companies, including the two
from Seattle, will go through the dress
parade and review, commencing promptl
at S:30, and will then drill in separate
companies in close-order movements, and
the school of the company, consisting of
a wide variety of sharply-executed com
pany maneuvers. Saturday evening will
also be one of the best military nights,
the companies competing In the extended
order drill, being marshalled into skirmish
formations, while the men will be pro
vided with blank ammunition, so that the
rattle of guns and the flash of powder
will be added to the picturesqueness of
the drill, seen under the glare of electric
lights.

Possibilities in Connection With
Embnrrasscu Northwest Railway.
BAKER CITT, 6i7 Sept. 26.-There is
good reason to believe that something of
interest to all of Eastern Oregon in a
railroad way will develop soon after the
sale of the property and franchises of the
Northwest Railroad, which is advertised
to take place in this city October 18. This
road was projected several years ago, and
about 20 miles of grade was completed
from Huntington along the Oregon shore
of the Snake River toward the Seven
Devils country. Financial trouble over
took the promoters, and the property was
thrown into the hands of a receiver,
where it has remained ever since. Re
cently the receiver advised the court that
it would be best to eell the property and
franchises of the road at public auction,
and it has been so ordered by the court.
A few days ago Lieutenant Edward S.
Farrow, a mining and railroad engineer,
arrived In this city, and has been looking
up the records in regard to the road, in
the interest of the Mexican Trust Com
pany, of New Tork, a corporation that
is interested in the building of several
Western railroads and other investment
enterprises. It is understood that it Is the
intention of the company to purchase the
road and at once complete it as far as it
Is graded, and next season it is to be ex
tended to Lewiston, Idaho.
The noted Iron Dyke copper mine is
owned by people who are said to be back
of the project to purchase the road.
Lieutenant Farrow has made an exami
nation of this mine, and he has advised
that $50,000 be expended for the purpose
of developing the mine, and he also con
firms the report of New Tork, Denver
and Salt Lake mining engineers that
there is 23,000 tons of copper ore in sight
which will average from 4 to 15 per cent
copper. Several assays have been made
from ores from the mines in the vicinity
of the Iron Dyke, which Lieutenant Far
row has verified recently, and they run
from S76 to 121 to the ton.
In addition to the talk of a road from
Huntington, Lieutenant Farrow has in
timated that a branch road from this city
to Ballard's Landing, on Snake River,
connecting with the main line, is among
the possibilities. t
RATES ARE FIRM.
No Extensive Cntting by Western
or Eastern Lines.
NEW TORK, Sept. 26. The Journal of
Commerce says:
"Although reports of extensive rate
cutting by Western and Eastern lines are
being widely circulated, officials of trunk
lines and Western lines, and shippers as
"well, declare that rates are being well
maintained, and that, in fact, the situa
tion has rather improved in this respect,
and that rates are firmer than they have
been for several months past. It is said
that rates out of New Tork to all Missou
ri River points are being well maintained
and there Is no cause of complaint over
the situation in any part of this terri
tory. "Rates to St Paul are in bad condition,
but this is nothing unusual and is ac
counted for by the competition of the
Lake transportation routes. This, how
ever, will soon be remedied, It was said,,
through the closing of Lake navigation,
and the Western lines have already an
nounced an advance In rates In anticipa
tion of this, the new tariffs going into
effect October 21.
"In this connection It is interesting to
note, also, that trunk line officials are
now considering further changes in clas
sification, which, If adopted, will practi
cally increase rates on many kinds of
merchandise."
HAYS LEAVES OCTOBER 1.
Has So Notified Heads of Sonthern
Pacific Departments.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 26. The Call
will say tomorrow:
"Charles M. Hays, president of the
Southern Pacific Company, severs his con
nection with the corporation October 1.
All the heads of departments have been
notified by Mr. Hays that he leaves the
company on that date."
The Islander Inquiry.
VICTORIA, B. C, Sept. 26. At the
steamer Islander inquiry today, the sec
ond officer, who had been on the bridge
with the pilot, swore that the' pilot had
not been drinking, at least he could not
notice liquor on him. The evidence of
the bartender was to the effect that; the
captain only had one drink at the bar on
the night of the accident. Two bottles of
Scotch whisky went to the saloon for a
party of about a dozen, including the cap
tain, who was sitting there. He saw the
steward calling the passengers by knock
ing at their doors.
Railroad Notes.
Special rates to the Buffalo Exposition
will apply on only two more days from
Portland, October 1 and 15.
A. A. Schenck. formerly of the engi
neer corps of the old Oregon Pacific Rail
road and later with the New Tork Cen
tral, at New Tork, is now division engi
neer of the Chicago & Northwestern, with
headquarters at Boone, la.
The dining-car service that is now op
erated on the Southern Pacific between
Roseburg, Or., and Red Bluff, Cal., will
be extended southward to San Francis
co, beginning next Sunday. Thereafter
all passenger trains will carry diners be
tween San Francisco and Roseburg. The
hours of arrival and departure at Port
land make It unnecessary to run the diner
through to this end.
GOING EAST?
The Ideal trip across the Continent, es
pecially at this time of the year, is via
the Rio Grande roads, known as the
"Scenic Line of the World." In addi
tion to going through Ogden, Salt Lake
City, Glenwood Springs, Pueblo, Colorado
Springs and Denver, with the privilege of
a stop-over at any of these points, you
have a daylight ride througn the heart
of the Rockies, the scenery of which is
surpassed nowhere. By stopping over in
the Mormon capital, you have the op
portunity of a bath in the Great Salt
Lake, Nature's famous sanatarium.
Through Pullman and dining-car service.

FIRST BARLEY CARGOES
GLAMORGANSHIRE AND SUSSEX
HAVE CLEARED FOR EUROPE.
French Bark Nantes Finished Brit
ish Ship Nelson Arrives After
Fast Passage.
The first ships of the 1901-02 barley
fleet cleared from Portland yesterday, the
Glamorganshire and the Sussex carrying
over 180,000 bushels of barley and 126,533
bushels of wheal. The steamship Gla
morganshire was cleared by Balfour
Guthrie & Co., and goes to St Vincent
for orders. She carries over 6000 tons
of cargo, of which there is 102,336 bush
els of barley and 119,283 bushels of wheat.
Kerr, Gifford & Co. dispatched the Brit
ish bark Sussex with 78,470 bushels of
barley, and 7250 bushels of wheat'. The
departure of these vessels brings the
fleet for the season to date up to an.
even dozen ships. There are 15 still in
the river to load, and about a dozen due
within the next 30 days. The Glamor
ganshire left down the river, drawing
23 feet, and will go through to Astoria
without any trouble, as both the Hilston
and Galgate, drawing nearly that much
water, were taken down without touch
ing when the water was at a lower stage
than it is now. The French bark Nantes
finished" loading last evening, and will
clear today. She was loaded by the
Portland Flouring Mills Company, and
has aboard 116,000 bushels of wheat The
Mabel Rickmcrs, which will be the last
ship of the September fleet, will finish
Monday, making a fleet of seven ships
for Europe, and two steamships' for the
Orient and Siberia, the cargoes (flour in
cluded) aggregating about a million bush
els of grain, an amount slightly in ex
cess of that for the corresponding month
last year.
FLOUR TRADE BETTER.
Improvement in Oriental Demand
and Stocks Are Decreasing.
The Oriental liner Knight Companion
will finish her cargo today and will get
away for the far East tomorrow. While
she is taking out a big shipment of
flour, there will still be some good-sized
offerings for the next steamer to follow.
The flour trade In the Orient Is at last
on the up grade, and some heavy sales
are reported, although most of the busi
ness that has yet been worked Is at
low figures. Late mail advices from
Hong Kong report scocks as moving off
more rapidly. On the last week in Aug
ust there was 800,000 quarter-sacks of
Oregon and Washington, and 150,000 quarter-sacks
of California on the Hong
Kong docks. As but light shipments had
been made from this coast for a long
time the demand was sufficient to rapid
ly reduce these stocks, and from now
on a better market is expected. Some
heavy losses have been met with by some
coast shippers, one Arm having 200,000
sacks spoil on their hands and selling it
in damaged condition at a loss of over
$1 per barrel.
Japan has been a good purchaser for
the past three weeks, but has slacked
up a little this week, and is making lower
offers again. Some sales have been made
recently on cable orders as high as $2 50
per barrel, and others as low as $2 20, the
latter, however, being no criterion as to
the tone of the market. The Knight
Companion will take out about 40,000 bar
rels, and the next steamer to follow
her nearly as much.
THE ISLANDER INQUIRY.
Conflicting Testimony Regarding the
Intoxication of the Captain.
VICTORIA, B. C, Sept. 26. When the
inquiry into the Islander wreck was re
sumed today, H. Puddlcombe, of Tacoma,
a passenger, stated that from the appear
ance of the captain, he had formed the
Impression that he was under the influ
ence of liquor. Pressed by Mr. Davis,
counsel for the Canadian Pacific Naviga
tion Company, he said that he could not
describe that the walk or appearance of
the captain that led to this opinion. The
captain seemed to be pulling "himself to
gether. Chief Officer Neroutsos was put through
a strong examination by Mr. Bodwell, for
the Attorney-General's department He
denied that Captain Leblanc, the pilot,
was intoxicated. He was with him on
the bridge from 7:45 P. M. to 8:15. The
steamer Farallon passed and the witness
asked if he would blow the passing whis
tle, the pilot replied: "Oh, no, she'll
clear." Witness thought the steamer
was going a little close. There was noth
ing to give witness the impression that
the pilot's condition was such as to make
him reckless. He certainly was not under
the influence of liquor.
THE WINDWARD RETURNS.
Peary Steamer Safely Home From
the Coast of Greenland.
BRIGUS, N. F., Sept. 26. The Peary
Arctic Club steamer Windward arrived
here today, after a stormy passage of 28
days, from Gape Parry, North Greenland,
where she parted company with the char
tered steamer Erik, which arrived at
Sydney, C. B., on the 13th inst
The Windward left Sydney July 20, 1900,
and wintered at Tayer Harbor, Grinnell,
with Mrs. Peary and Miss Peary on
board.
The Windward brings as passengers
Robert Stein, of Washington, and Samuel
Warmbath, of Boston, who were taken
North by the Peary steamer Diana and
landed near Cape Sabine in August, 1839.
The Windward will remain at Brigus
during the Winter, and return in the
Summer of 1902, with Mrs. Peary and Miss
Peary, to Cape Sabine, whence she is ex
pected to bring home Mr. Peary, return
ing from the pole.
TRANSPORT FOR PORTLAND.
Adnto or Thyra Has Been Chartered
to Lond Forage for Manila.
The next transport to load at this port
for Manila will be the British steamship
Adato or the Norwegian steamer Thyra.
The Adato has been chartered to the
Government by the Pacific Export Lum
ber Company, which have the privilege of
substituting the Thyra at the same rate.
The Government has collected considera
ble forage at this port, and as more of
the kind of produce used in Manila is
raised In this territory than in any other
section in the. Northwest, Portland will
continue to be the headquarters for the
distribution of forage. Transports sail
ing from Portland are given better dis
patch than those from other ports, and
the service here has been very satisfac
tory. MADE A FAST RUN.
British Ship Nelson Sails From Cnl
lao to the Columbia, in 53 Days.
The British ship Nelson arrived in last
evening, after a rattling good run of 53
days from Callao. This is not record
time, but It is so much faster than has
been made by any other ships coming
from that direction that it is note
worthy .Now that the Nelson is safe in
the Columbia River, the San Francisco
Commercial News, which has been car
rying her on the list en route for the
Bay city, will probably give Portland the
credit of having the ship. The Nelson
has made such good time up the coast
that some of the other ships coming from
the southward may be expected within a
few days.
CAPTAIN BURNS COMING.
European Snlvage Expert En Ronte
for the Baroda Wreck.
The Portland branch office of Catton
Bell & Co., agents of the wrecked bark
Baroda, yesterday received notice that
Captain Burns the expert wrecker sent
out from Liverpool, was on his way to
the scene of the -wreck. Captain Burns
is well known In this vicinity, through
the heroic efforts he made to get the
Glenmorag off north beach a few years
ago. He arrived in San Francisco a few
days ago, and sailed from the Bay city
yesterday on the steamer Mandelay for
Bandon. On arrival he will look over
the situation in the Interest of the under
writers, and, If It is possible to do so, will
arrange for having the craft floated.
Captain Roberts, of this city, who was
so successful in floating the lightship,
will meet Captain Burns at Bandon and,
between them, they may effect an ar
rangement by which the craft will get
back into deep water. Latest advices
from the vessel state that she is still
uninjured, and has not suffered by the
storms which were so severe farther
north.

Garonne Had t6 Put Back.
SEATTLE, Sept. 26. The steamship
Garonne, Captain Elwen, which sailed
last Friday for Nome,, returned to port
today in a partially disabled copdition.
Three days out on her voyage and when
about 250 miles off Cape Flattery, the
Garonne's furnaces began leaking, the
trouble being augmented by an Inferior
quality of coal. Captain Elwen, deeming
It imprudent to proceed, returned to port.
The vessel came back under her own
steam. Her officers and engineers believe
the necessary repairs can be made In time
for the Garonne to sail again Saturday.
Schooner Antelope Libelled.
ASTORIA, Sept. 26. Deputy Unit
ed States Marshal Roberts today
libeled the little, schooner Antelope
In a suit brought by four members of her
crew against the Columbia River Packers'
Association to collect about $400, alleged
to be due them for wages. The schooner
was chartered by the association to go
to Bristol Bay, and the crew was en
gaged for the cruise. Owing to some dis
agreement, several of 'the crew quit soon
after the arrival at Bristol Bay, and were
sent back on the steamer Despatch. They
ask for pay for the full voyage.
San Francisco Blockade Broken.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 26. The block
ade of the grain fleet has been broken and
a fleet of seven vessels will be on its way
East and for Europe by Saturday morn
ing. The British ships Celtic Monarch

manned, got away .today, while the Do
venby, Mooltan, Glenesslln, Foylesdale,
and the American ship William F. Bab
cock will sail Saturday. The latter ves
sel carries barley for New Tork, but the
others arc all loaded with wheat for Eu
rope. There are several bets made on the
outcome of the run to Europe.
Was Not Marooned.
PORTLAND, Me., Sept 26. Mrs. Peary,
wife of Lieutenant Peary, who has re
turned to South Portland, has promptly
denied the report that Mr. Diedrlck was
marooned. He positively refused to go
back, and said he would stay with a
party of natives. It was not deemed
proper to attempt to compel him to re
turn to the Windward because of his
peculiar mental state. It was thought
that possibly he might recover If left
on shore, but in the opinion of Dr. Cook,
he was in danger of becoming violently
insane if taken back.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 26 Three ves
sels were placed on the overdue list at
the Merchants' Exchange today. Twenty
flve per cent reinsurance is offered on
the ship Glenbreck, now out 131 days

Most hair preparations are merely

"When hair is brittle, lusterless and begins
