GIVEN QUICK DISPATCH
FRENCH BARK GENERAL MELLINET
MAKES NEV-SEASON RECORD.
Discharged Inward Cargo and Load-
ed O.itirard in Le Than Two
Weeks-More Ships Coming.
The French bark General Mellinet fin
ished loading yesterday and went out Into
the stream, after securing the best dis
patch that has been given any vessel this
season. It has been but a lew days over
four months since the vessel sailed from
Dunkirk, France, having called at that
port on the trip to Portland from Ham
burg. She brought about 7000 barrels of
cement, and all of It was discharged and
93,000 bushels' of wheat loaded In 12 days
after her arrival in Portland. The Gen
eral Mellinet was loaded by the Portland
Grain Company, and goes to Queenstown
or Falmouth for orders. She will leave
down the river tomorrow, and will be
back at Astoria ready for sea again after
a stay In port of but little over two
weeks.
Other vessels of the grain fleet whicli
are ready for sea are the British ships
Barfillan and Crown of India, wtilcn
were cleared yesterday by Kerr, Glfford
& Co. for Queenstown or Falmouth for
orders, with nearly 250,000 bushels of
wheat. The Barfillan proved a pretty big
carrier for her tonnage, and takes out
the largest cargo that has left port this
month. She has on board 135,517 bushels
of wheat, valued at 577,922. The Crown of
India Is a smaller vessel, but she has
aboard 107,950 bushels of wheat, valued at
562.0SS. Both of the ships will leave down
today or tomorrow. The Barfillan Is draw
ing 22 feet 4 Inches of water, but will
probably get through all right as far as
Astoria by working the tides. Following
the Barfillan and Crown of India and
General Mellinet, the Europe Is the near
est to a finish, although the Danish bark
Prinsesse Marie Is not far behind her.
THE SEVEN-MASTER.

ANOTHER "BEK" LINER.
Mnronioth German Ship Chartered
for Wheat Loading:.
The German ship Relnbek Is reported
under charter for wheat loading at this
port. The vessel was formerly the British
ship Lord Rosebery, and prior to taking
that name was the Windermere. Shp is
the largest vessel in the well-known
"Bek" line, operated by Knohr & Burch.
ard, of Hamburg, and Is, with one excep
tion, the only one of the line that has not
not loaded at Portland. The firm owns 11
vessels, one of which, the Schwarzenbek,
is now In port under charter for wheat
loading, and another, the Tarpenbek, is
nearly due from Hamburg with general
cargo. Nearly all of the vessels are Brlt-fch-bullt
craft, and were bought by their
present owners at low prices during the
recent depression in shipping a few years
ago. The Schwarzenbek was the British
t?hip Annie Maud, and the Tarpenbek the
British ship Naworth Castle. The Barm
bck, which Is out about three months
from Hamburg for Portland, was former
ly the Gilcrulx, and the Schiffbek, now
under charter for Puget Sound loading,
was ttv British ship Ellesmere.
The Wandsbek was well known In this
port as the British ship Ancyra, and the
Eilbek was formerly the Moreton. The
Stelnbek was the Lodestar, the Osterbek
was the Orbis, and the Robenbek was the
Senator Peterson. The Flottbek is a na
tive German, and has always borne the
name and flag which she Is now sailing
urdcr. The Reinbek, which Is the latest
addition to the en route list. Is now on
the way from Port Tampa, Fla., for Yo
kohama with a cargo of phosphates. On
discharging she will come across the Pa
cific in ballast.
FOR GUAXO CARGO.
Bark Ceylon Sails From Port Town
send for Larson Island.
PORT TOWNSEND, Wash., Nov. 12.
The bark Ceylon, Captain E. Wilier, sailed
from here this morning for Layson Island
via Honolulu, for a cargo of guano for
San Francisco. Laysefn Island is about
midway between Honolulu and Japan, and
Is seldom visited by vessels. It Is a small
Island, two miles long and 1 miles wide,
and is surrounded by a dangerous reer
with a narrow entrance, through which
vessels can enter a channel which runs
around the Island between the reef and
the land. Captain Wilier has been en
gaged in the guano trade for many years.
The Island Is devoid of vegetation, but Is
alive with sea fowl of various kinds.
According to Captain Wilier, whan trav
ersing the island fowls have to be kicked
out of the way, and a person cannot
step without treading on eggs. In order
to load a cargo, a gang of Hawailans are
taken on the vessel, who dig guano, and
It is transported to the vessel in small
boats. This Is Captain Winer's 20th trip
to the Island.
The tug Bermuda, with a barge of cop
per ore, for the safety of which fears
were felt, arrived thi? afternoon her,. de
lay being occasioned by the storm which
swept over the Straits Sunday and Mon
day. LOG OF THE TRAVAXCORE.
Mndc a Good Passage of 50 Days
From Concepcion Bay.
Captain John Jones, of the British ship
Travancore, which arrived in port yester
day from Concepcion Bay, Chile, fur
nishes the following extract from his
log:
"Left Concepcion Bay September 14, 1901,
with light southerly winds, which pre-
ailed more or less to latitude 21 degrees
south, where the southeast trade wind
was found. .Had moderate trade to 4 de

for Queenstown, 12 days out, all well.
Experienced the usual equatorial current,
setting about north 45 degrees west in 1
degree 50 minutes north latitude; rate, 30
minutes per day. Also the counter cur
rent, setting to the eastward, between
8 degrees and 10 degrees north latitude,
50 minutes in one day.
"Took northeast trade wind in 13 de
grees north, and parted with it in 24 de.
greesnorth. Wind north, 56 degrees east;
force, 4. The wind, shifting to southwest,
gradually working to the north and north

following day. Off the port, in the offing,
baffling light airs were experienced, with
frequent rain squalls."

SWEPT BY STORM.
Steamer Al-Ki Arrived From the
North With Tale of a Gale.
PORT TOWNSEND. Wash., Nov. 12.
The coast of Southeastern Alaska con
tinues to bo swept by storm, according to
reports brought by the steamer Al-KI
early tonight, 10 days from Skagway.
Strong winds and snow storms have pre
vailed almost continuously during the past
two wcek3, and considerable floating
ice is in the channels. The Al-KC in at
temptng to cross Queen Charlotte Sound,
was forced to turn back, owng to the fury
of the gale and high seas. Her decks
were swept with immense waves, and
Pilot Bradley, who has been continuously
on the Alaska route during the past 13
years, says the storm on Queen Char
lotte Sound was the most furious he had
witnessed during that period. Ice floes, he
says, are much larger than ever known
before, and he accounts for It as being
the result of the severe earthquake of
two years ago, which shattered various
glaciers, and since that time sloughing
of icebergs from glaciers has been very
great and channels are filled with them,
which renders navigation hazardous dur
ing the long, dark nights of Winter.
The Al-KI brought down a remarkably
big cargo, consisting of 600 tons of con
centrates from the Treadwell mine on
Douglas Island and 700 tons of salmon
from various fishing stations, and this
cargo practically cleans up the pack along
the lower coast of Alaska. The Al-Ki
brought SO passengers, most of whom were
from fishing stations. She also brought
5SO.O0O In treasure.
AMERICAN ROUTE THE BEST.
British Mails for Australia to Go by
Way of United States.
NEW YORK, Nov. 12. According to of
ficials of the New York Central Railroad,
the British Government has decided to
send Australian mails for London by way
of San Francisco and New York, instead
of, as formerly, by way of the Suez
Canal. In has been demonstrated that
the Pacific and American route Is slightly
over three days faster than the old route
from Sydney to London by bay of Co
lombo, Aden, Brindlsl and London.
Grain-Handlers' Request.
The dock grain-handlers, having secured
satisfactory wages from their employers.
are now asking that none but union men
be employed on the docks. They have
presented the employers with a petition to
that effect, and request an answer by No
vember 15. Employers decline to discuss
the matter at present, but it Is probable
that differences will be adjusted without
a strike, as the wages now paid the men
are enough higher than those paid on
Puget Sound to prove very alluring for
union and nonunion men alike. There Is
enough wheat to be moved this season to
afford steady employment to grain-han
dlers for many months, without some of It
Is diverted to other ports.
More Ships Coming.
The German ship Emllle arrived off San
Francisco Heads Monday night, and re
ceived orders Instructing her master to
proceed to Portland, where cue will load

The entire crew of the Riversdale left the

delayed several days in securing a crew
to work her up the coast. Coasting sail

as this was too expensive the master

LONDON, Nov. 12. "An American syn

correspondent of the Dally Mail. "The
purchaser is thus enabled to demand at
the next meeting a revision of the arti

UNION PACIFIC AND ST. PAUL.
Rumor That Harrlman Has Acquired
Foil for Burlington.
CHICAGO, Nov. 12. The Dally News
says:
The Union Pacific will control the St.
Paul. This news Is not to be regarded
as official, though it was imparted by one
closely related to the Harrlman syndi
cate. Negotiations to the end indicated,
it Is said, have been concluded, and the
Harrlman party will take charge of the
St. Paul line some time before next Jan
uary. Details of the deal are not ascer
tainable, but It was Intimated that the
Union Pacific people had agreed to pay
5200 a share for a majority of the com
mon Issue of the St. Paul Comuany.

it Is submitted with due reservation the

bash will give the Gould lines a direct
route from the Pacific through Pittsburg,
with ramifications to the principal cities
of the Middle States and the Mississippi
Valley."
