MORE NOVEMBER CARGOES
SCHWAIIZBXBEK, CLEOMENE, HEJT
KJErrTE CARRY 385,767 BUSHELS.
Portland Has Dispatched Ten Car
goes This Season Averaging;
Over 5000 Tons Marine Notes.
The German bark Sclrwnrzenbek, after a
stay of but 22 days in the river, finished
loading yesterday, and is in the stream
ready for sea. She has aboard 116,480
bushels of wheat, and was dispatched by
the Portland Flouring Mills Company.
The Cleomene, which finished Wednesday
night has on board 98,545 bushels, making,
with the big cargo of the Henriette, which
also finished Wednesday, a total of 285,767
bushels of wheat lor the 48 hours. One,
and perhaps two, other ships will finish
today or tomorrow, so that the shipments
for the month to date will run up pretty
:lose to 2,000,000 bushels, with a week yet
remaining. Thus far in November Port
land has shipped 1,638,891 bushels of wheat.
which is very close to the total amount
ehlpped last month. The Henriette is
the 10th vessel to load at Portland this
year with a cargo in excess of 4000 tons,
and carries the sixth cargo in excess of
5000 tons. The 10 big cargoes which have
been cleared from Portland since the new
season opened, July 1, are as follows:

Also 131,616 bushels of barley.
The above list includes five steamers,
the Glenbank, Glenturret, Pak Ling, Gla
morganshire and Aristea. The cargo of
the Henriette is, with one exception, the
largest soiling cargo that ever left the
Columbia Biver.
FRAUD IS ALLEGED.
British Mariners Said to Have Se
cured Naturalization. Illegally.
The Victoria Colonist prints the follow
ing regarding some steamship officers who
are well known In this port:
"The American Association of Masters
and Pilots of Steam Vessels has had de
tectives engaged for several months past,
it Is said, unearthing details regarding the
naturalization of Britons who have of
ficered the steamers lately acquired by
the United States Government for trans
ports and other purposes, and the associa
tion alleges that as a result of their de
tectives' investigations in the case of
certain officers of the steamships Victoria,
Olympla, Tacoma and Argyll, fraudulent
naturalization has come to light The
first three vessels are owned by the North
ern Pacific Steamship Company, of Ta
coma, and the last was for some time
chartered by the same company, but is
now sailing from San Francisco for the
Panama Bailroad Company. All four
steamers were British-built, and sailing
under the British flag, but they subse
quently got United States registry, which,
under tbe navigation laws of the United
States, required that their officers shall
have United States licenses, and therefore
be United States citizens. As most of
them were British subjects, their natural
ization became imperative, and, It Is
charged, they were nearly all marched
forthwith Into a Washington court, natur
alized In a few days, and given United
States licenses. The association claims
tohave evidence that the naturalization
paper? "y ere taken our through perjury
regarding previous Intention, residence,
etc.; and by other shady methods."

VICTORIA SEEING FLEET.
Schooners Will AAt Go Out So Early
as They Dli Last Season.
The annual meefng of the Victoria Seal
ing Company winbe held at Victoria De
cember 20, by wjich tlme the sale of the
24,172 skins whUh have been taken this
year by the fieri will have taken place in
London, Engtfnd. A meeting of the di
rectors was b2ld-a few days ago, at which
several mattyrs&n"ectlng the Industry were
discussed, sfld it was then stated that the
vessels ofxhe Victoria fleet will not be
sent out o early this year as they were
last seasn, when many of the vessels got
away tst the southern coast in the early
part o December. This year it is, ex
pected' the sealers will be able, to spend
Chrisinas and New Year's holidays at
horn', for the company does not intend to
sen out Its vessels until early in January.
f. was also decided by the directors to
endeavor to get a number of hunters from
Ane Atlantic Coast enough to man two of
the schooners owing to the insufficient
supply of hunters at present on the Coast.
The wages will remain as they were last
year.
THE STRANDED BARODA.
Bad Weather Has Interfered With
the Work of Floating; Her.
Captain J. H. Roberts, who put in a bid
for floating the stranded bark Baroda,
has just received a letter from Captain
Burns, the wrecker, who has the task of
floating the craft In hand. The letter
stated that the weather had been very
unfavorable for doing anything with the
craft, and she was still in much the same
position as when she went ashore. Last
week's Bandon Recorder states that she
was afloat at high tide, several days re
cently, but the Coquilie Bulletin states
that the breakers were rolling around her
again, and she was sinking in the sand.
An effort Is being made to get cables out
to deep water by the aid of water-tight
casks, and If everything Is In readiness
an attompt will be made to pull her off
about November 25. Three of the appren
tice boys who were on the vessel have
come to Portland and joined the British
Bhip Travancore, which is owned by the
came firm as the Baroda. They will re
turn t.o England on the Travancore.
MASTER AND OWNER FINED.
Skipper on the Delia Has No Gov-
ernment License.
ASTORIA, Or., Nov. 2L A fine of $100
tach was assessed by Collector of Customs
fox today against A. E. Lucy, acting
captain, and the firm of Lucy & Fletcher,
owners of the gasoline schooner Delia,
because the captain is acting without a
Government .license. The vessel is of a
tonnage that requires her master to have
a master's papers, and Captain Lucy, who
is onetfof the owners, did not have any.
The vessel is owned at Woods, Or., and is
intended to run between Astoria and Nes
tucca. Geo. W. Elder Inspected.
Inspectors Edwards and Fuller met the
steamer Geo. W. Elder here this morning
and Inspected her while she was going up
the river.
Pat In at Coos Bay for Shelter.
MARSHFIELD, Or., Nov. 21. The tug
Vosburg, with the barge Wheeler in tow,
put Into Coos Bay today for shelter.
The tug left Nehalem with the lumber
laden barge Monday. A southerly pale
and a terrific sea were encountered, and
the tug's supply of coal was just about
exhausted when Empire City was
reached. She came to this place today,
and took on fuel, and will leave out as
soon as possible.
Laying: a Marine Cable.
ST. JOHNS, N. F., Nov. 21. The cable
steamer Mackay-Bennett, which has ar
rived here from mldocean, reports that
she met with fine weather, picked up the
cable and laid a new section 40 miles
long. Having secured coal and supplies,,
she will return to mldocean to complete
the work.
Whaler California Sails.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 2L The bark
California has sailed for the South Sea,
the coast of Japan and the Okhotsk Sea
on a whaling cruise of nearly a year's
duration. The next whaler to sail , will
probably be the Alice Knowles, which has
taken stores aboard, and Is to leave next
Tuesday.
Wreckage Sighted.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 21. The
schooner Vega at Eureka from Port
Harford reports that on November 16, SO
miles oft Point Reyes, she passed a large
body of wreckage 100 feet In length. It
was 2 o'clock In the morning .and conse
quently too dark to make out whether It
was a raft or a vessel bottom up.
Marine Notes. ,
The steamer Elder arrived In port about
5:30 last evening, after a good run up the
coast, as well as up the. river. She
brought a full freight and fairly good pas
senger list.
Captain L. A Bailey, who has been quite
ill for the past three weeks, Is again able
to get around, and will soon resume his
business of piloting deep-draft ships up
and down the river for the O. R. & N. Co.
The Oregon Round Lumber Company
has recently added three barges to its
fleet, making a total of six freighters
which it now has in use. The com
pany has recently purchased the old Gov
ernment steamer Robert T. Lincoln, and
Is having the hull rebuilt. The business
of towing and lightering is growing so
rapidly that the company is contemplat
ing further additions to its equipment.

PORTLAND. Nov. 21. (To the Editor.)
Apropos of the discussion of the question
as to the necessity and power of the
courts to disregard laws considered by
them to be unconstitutional, and perfoctly
willing that both sides should have a fair
hearing, I inclose herewith a news item
found in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch of
November 17. I musj; Insist, however, that
If the Constltut'on confers upon any Tom,
Dick or Harry who may be elected Justice
of the Peace or Judge the right to dis
regard statute laws duly enacted, it is
Indeed most fortunate that it did not con
fer such right upon them when off the
bench, for if it had the present uncertain
ty as to what the law is and the difficulty
of its enforcement would have been in
creased, while the extreme ludicroueness
of the existing condition of affairs would
also have been greatly enhanced. X.
MACON. Mo., Nov. 16. Squire A F. Love,
the Macon Justice who gives the bride a spoon
with her name on It whenever he performs a
$2 wedding, has announced that If he Is called
upon to construe the new Missouri act In rela
tion to gaming ho will declare It unconstitu
tional. "There never was a more rpthpIpsk i ,t
on the books," said the court today. "Suppose
I own a section on the Charlton bottoms, and
go out some nice afternoon and kill a couple
of dozen quail; I can't eat em all; I don't
want to give 'em away, and the laws says
I shan't aell 'em, although I killed them on
my own premises, and for all I know they've
got meat of their living off my land. There's
more than enough quail over there on the
river for every family In Macon County, to
say nothing of ducks and prairie chickens, and
yet this fool law comes In and says the man
who likes 'em can't have those delicacies till
he learns how to shoot straight. If that Is a
good law, lots of Mlssourlans won't eat quail
and prairie chicken, for. I'm afraid, till the
five-year limit is up. You can say for me
right here that If any poor devil of a hunter
gets took up for selling quail, and he can get
his case Into my temple of Justice I'll see that
he's a free man In plenty time to get back
on the bottoms and get in a pretty fair day
with the birds."
Squire Love Is a lawyer above the average
and the majority of criminal cases developed
in Macon and the township" And their way
into his court. At this season the river bot
toms are alive with birds, and the hunters
are thick. No sales have been detected as yet,
but it Is more than likely the law will be
tested here before the month Is out. Session
acts of the last Le;rfRlfl.tllm nv "T la tin.
lawful for any person to sell or offer to sell L
or Duy or oner to Duy any quail, pinnated
grouse, prairie chicken, wild deer of wllk tur
key In this state for five years, but this shall
not apply to game shipped In from anv other
state or territory."
NEW YORK REAL ESTATE
INVESTORS AND SPECULATORS
POURING MILLIONS IN MARKET.
. -
Value of Structures and JPuulic Im
provements Is Estimated at Far
Beyond the $250,000,000 3Iark.
NEW TORK, Nov. 17. (Special DJspatch
to the. Inter Ocean.) No Western boom
town ever' enjoyed such a season of real
estate speculation as now exists in New
York. Where it was thousands in tne
West it is millions in the East. Investors
and speculators from all over the world
are pouring millions into the market and
fortunes are often made in a day by the
judicious handling of a choice property.
Since January 1 there have been in round
numbers, in Manhattan, the Bronx, and
Brooklyn, about 30,000 real estate transfers
recorded, representing an aggregate value

EDITOR J. J. CARNEY, OF ABERDEEN.
ABERDEEN, Wash., Nov. 21. No incident on Gray's Harbor for many years
has stirred up more Intensity of feeling and Interest than the editorial In the
cunent Issue of the Aberdeen Herald, commenting upon the decision of Judge
Irwin, of the Superior Court. Mr. Carney has been a politician in Chehalls Coun
ty t. long time, and has voiced the sentiments of his party In a paper which he
conducted at the county seat, prior to his coming here some years ago. He was
nominated and defeated for the State Senate In the la3t election. The attack on
Judge Irwin appeared under the heading, "A Judicial Curio." The article Is the
result of a decision made against Mt Carney by Judge Irwin on the county print
ing contract, Carney having broiifftt suit to prevent the, printing, going to another
paper, on the ground that his bid was the lowest. Members of the bar practicing
before Judge Irwin presented a memorial address, expressing their confidence In
the court. During Its reading the Judge shed tears.- As the case for which the
Judge was criticised has not been entirely disposed of, Editor Carney will be
cited to appear In contempt proceedings.
The memorial of the Bar Association on this point follows: "Resolved, By th
Chehalls County Bar Association, that the president of this organization be, and
he hereby Is, authorized and directed to appoint a committee of three from the
members of this association to call to the attention of the Superior Court of Che
halls County the iac.t3 In relation to the publication of Bald article, to the end
that contempt proceedings may be instituted against the publisher or publishers
thereof. The chairman appointed John C. Hogan, of Aberdeen, Sidney Moor
Heath, of Hoqulam, and L. H. Brewer, of Montesano, a committee to bring the
matter to the Superior Court, and also appointed W. H. Abel, E. E. Shields and
I. W. Mason to assist the Prosecuting Attorney In that motion.

of upward of $151,000,000. The mortgages
recorded during the same period foot up
to close to $325,000,000. The new buildings
being planned and projected since the first
of the year number 5400, and their valua
tion is given at 5116,000,000.
This estimate Is made from the licenses
taken out at the building department, but
allowing for undervaluations, a conserva
tive estimate of the value of the buildings
begun with the new century in the three
larger boroughs of Greater New York
would place it close to ?15O.O0O.O0O. In ad
dition to these enormous figures, there are
public improvements under way, including
the Rapid Transit subway, which bring
the total of work either under way or
projected during 1901 far beyond the 5250,
000,000 mark.
The subway line Is naturally the back
bone of the largest operations. "Harlem
is to be within 15 minutes of the City
Hall," say the men at the head of the
great underground system, and is the key
note of the great bull market in Manhat
tan real estate. The Fifth avenue and
financial districts, by virtue of their nat
ural positions, hold their prestise in tne
market and lend a substantial foundation
to the more speculative deals along the
subway.
$.1,000,000 Custom-House.
Among the most Important buildings in
course of construction is the new custom
house at Bowling Greu. It is to cost
53,000,000, and a whole block of historical
residences stood above the deep hole that
now marks its site. A little further up, at
Broad and Wall streets, Is another great
excavation, fully 60 feet deep, where tne
new stock exchange foundations are being
built on great ca!sson9 sunk to bedrock.
This is to be another $3,000,000 pile.
Only a stone's throw away in Liberty
street the new building of the Chamber
of Commerce of the State of New York
Is in the course of erection. The site
alone cost $700,000. In this same financial
district there are many private enter
prises erecting great sky-scrapers or re
modeling smaller structures to meet the
competition of modern buildings.
The next great structure in course or
building is the city's new hall of records,
which is now making good progress to
ward the completion of Its construction on
the block bounded by Center, Chambers
and Reade streets. An appropriation of
52,500,000 has been made for the structure.
Before It is finished it Is likely to repre
sent, like the custom-house and stock ex
change, a 53,000,000 Investment.
At the City Hall Park Is encountered
the first excavations for the rapid-trajislt
tunnels which run northward to Harlem,
and which are to cost a sum even greater
than Chicago poured into its stupendous
drainage canal. These great underground
highways are to be joined with the Brook
lyn Rapid Transit system, and $10,000,000 Is
estimated as the cost of this addition.
Activity Up Town.
Up town the greatest activity centers
about the' Herald Square and Waldorf
Astoria sections. The first and funda
mental cause of the evolution Is found
in the current movement of population
centers northward, which In turn has
been forced by improved electric transit
facilities and the construction of the
rapid-transit subway, The second, and
perhaps the most Important, cause locally
for Thirty-fourth street, is the success
ful progress of combinations for the con
struction of the Long Island Railroad
tunnel along the line Just south of Thirty-fourth
street The tunnel will prac
tically inclose this entire district with
traffic drawn directly from Long Island
and also from the Pennsylvania Railway's
immense population preserves In New Jer
sey and the West.
. The projected great Astor improvements
will He along the Fifth-avenue line Im
mediately between this Long Island fun
nel and the future great Thirty-fourth
street thoroughfare. It Is understood that
the first of the tunnel stations, and one
of the most important will be either at
Fourth or Fifth avenue, thus turning a
continual flow of shopping population into
the Fifth-avenue and Thirty-fourth-street
vicinity a flow that comes to the me
tropolis for the main purpose of leaving
here lt3 money.
Here, from Thirty-third to ThlFty-flfth
streets, whole blocks. Including a famous
theater, have been demolished to make
Say for magnificent department stores
tat private business enterprise has
planned in the new center of the city's
life.
Waldorf-Astoria District.
South ofHerald Square, at the triangle
formed by the Intersection of Broadway,
t t t e
Fifth avenue and Twenty-third street, an
other valuable block fell before the march
of progress not long ago. The old "Flat
iron" was for years a landmark as one of
the most valuable locations in the city.
The "Flatiron" was swept bare to the
ground, and the Cumberland Realty Com
pany Is erecting on Its site a i'0-story
building, at a cost, including the real es
tate, of $4,000,000.
In the Waldorf-Astoria section, nt tho
northwest corner of Thirty-fourth street
and Fifth avenue, stood for years the
marble mansion of A. T. Stewart, later
the home of the Manhattan Club. Beauti
ful it was, and costly, but it had to yield.
Piece by piece the sculptured marble, the
fluted columns, were taken down and rele
gated to the oblivion of the second-hand
building material yard. Plans have been
drawn and work will soon be begun upon
the "handsome structure of the Knicker
bocker Trust Company, on the site of the
old mansion, and then the palace reared
by the merchant prince will be only a
New York memory.
With these operations the rows of once
fashionable brownstone- mansions on both
sides of Thirty-fourth street, from Fifth
avenue to Broadway, will be altered for
the purposes of fashionable trade. The
former homes of Henry Clews, Francis H.
Leggett, and other millionaires are now
undergoing this transformation.
The sale of the Broadway tabernacle,
northeast corner of Sixth avenue, awaits
only the acquisition of a few adjoining
parcels to be ended. This will result In
a modern building operation, which will
call for an outlay considerably greater
than tne price to be paid for the taber
nacle site, which is $1,250,000.
Immense Mercantile Structures.
Immense mercantiio structures for the
northwest and southwest corners, at the
same junction, are now under way. The
progress of their building will be marked,
according to present outlook, by excited
speculation in the Thlrty-fjmrth street
frontages running west almost as far as
Tenth avenue.
At Fifth avenue and Forty-second street
is an Immense excavation, from which was
taken the old reservoir and its high stone
walls. Here there is being drilled through
solid rock the path of the rapid-transit
express trains, and the resting -places for
the foundations of the new public library,
buildings, from which Is to radiate the
system of branch libraries made possible
by Andrew Carnegie's $5,500,000 gift.
1 Further up Fifth avenue, at the north
east corner of Fifty-first street, the Union
Club is erecting at a cost of $500,000, a
clubhouse for the site of which it paid
1 $700,000.
Following the line of the subway and
striking through upper Broadway, above
Fifty-ninth street, there are found at
almost every corner' from that point
northward, hints of what the beautiful
thoroughfare is destined to be In a few
years. Gigantic apartment hotels, some
of them nearlng completion, others only
begun, are rising on a score of sites. More
than one of them represents an Invest
ment well up In the millions.
i Perhaps the finest has not been begun.
It is that which William Waldorf Astor
has projected for the block between
! Broadway, West End avenue, Seventy
eighth and Seventy-ninth streets. It will
j represent an outlay of $2,500,000, will be
connected by an underground passage di
rectly, with, the nearest subway station,
and will have apartments renting at $50,
000 a vear.
Traverse Riverside drive, skirting the
HudBon, and is found the same transitory
state. At Eighty-ninth street will stand
the Soldiers and Sailors' monument, ft
work of art, which will cost $250,000.
New St. John's Cathedral.
On Cathedral Heights, a spot which
somebody has aptly called, "The future
acropolis of the city," the Cathedral of
St. John the Divine has only been begun,
but it has cost to date $2,000,000. To fin
ish It on the lines now planned will cost
not less than $15,000,000. A century may
have elapsed before the capstone Is placed
upon Its spire, but that would nobe un
usual. St. Peters, at Rome, was hun
dreds of years In building and the cathe
dral at Cologne had stood for six cen
turies before it was finished.
New York's cathedral will be finished,
and when completed it will be one of the
most majestic ecclesiastical structures in
the world. Standing on an elevation 13a
feet above the sea level, its central spire
will rise 440 feet above Its foundation, and
in clear weather will be visible from a
distance of many miles about the city.
Its lateral dimensions will be 520x295 feet.
Surrounded by the buildings of Colum
bia University, St. Luke's Hospital, and
other such structures as are already
planned, this wll form, on the future
acropolis, one of the most noteworthy
groups architecturally to be found In the
world.
Developments similar in kind, If less In
degree, are to be looked for at University
Heights on the far side' of the Harlem,
where the University of the City of New
York has established its home, and where
the generosity of Miss Helen Gould has
enabled it to build that unique American
memorial," the Temple of Fame.
Up In the Bronx the city is even more
chaotic than elsewhere. At almost every
point in the newer sections are encoun
tered 9treet grading and the laying of
gas and water mains. Splendid concep
tions that are only partly realized as
yet, but that are assured of success, are
the New York zoological park, and the
great botanical garden. ,
Jerome Pnrlc Reservoir.
Dwarfing all other holes in the ground
is the gigantic Jerome Park reservoir, one
of the greatest unfinished enterprises the
city has under way. When completed it
will be the largest distributing reservoir
In the world.
These and many others are the vast
enterprises that form the basis for the
great wave of speculation In New Yprk
realty. Added to this is the constant
stream of investment money pouring In,
and the transfer of holdings from specu
lators to permanent owners keeps the
market steady
The speculators who receive this money
will keep it active in the market. It is
also recognized that any big stir at pres
ent must make for rising prices, and the
speculators are expected to keep their
money on the bull side of the market long
after the present general business pros
perity has been discounted. They cannot
at present see anything In the future to
disturb a steady realty advance. Their
activity promises to continue until checked
by a natural reaction, such as overcame
the 18D9 building boom during 1900, even
while surrounded by Increasing prosper

ors had not overdone the discounting of
coming natural enhancements.
Big operators admit that renewed ac

reactionary period is too far in the future

Chicago Men Investors.
Chicago men are among the prominent
Investment buyers. Marshall Field has
been steadily Increasing his holdings in
the Waldorf-Astoria district, and within
the last ten days Henry G. Lytton, of the
Hub, has purchased a valuable corner
at Twenty-second street and Fifth avenue
where he plans to erect a tall, modern
business structure as soon as the leases
on the present building expire. Mr.
Field's purchases have occasioned con
siderable discussion here, and he has been
credited with planning to build a great
store in which he will open a branch of
his great Chicago establishment. Henry
Siegel, of Siegel, Cooper & Company, is
also reported to have obtained some val
uable Interests.
The records of tho building department
show that the building of private houses

are in a class by themselves among
Turllish cigarettes, and have never
been equaled. There is no uncertainty
or indecision when buying them: you
are sure that they are the best Turkish
cigarettes that you can get anywhere.
They never vary or change in quality,
flavor or workmanship, because they
cannot be made better or of better
materials. It will interest you exceed

'No better Turkish cigarette can be

Chicago Chronicle.
Washington. According to information
which has reached the Navy Department
through channels in a measure controlled
by the department, the verdict of the
Schley court of Inquiry, will practically
be a complete vindication of Admiral
Schley. Moreover, instead of a long dis
cursive opinion, covering all the complex
details of the inquiry, the court will nand
down a brief and terse verdict, which, It
is said, will not contain more than 500
words.
Understanding the effect of, such a ver
dict upon themselves and their future
fortunes, certain naval officers, of the
antl-Schley camp, began immediate prep
arations to get as far out of the public
view as possible. Crowninshield hopes to
assume command of the European sta
tion. Admiral Evans will not return from
Tutulla, whither -he went to preside over
a court-martial that will try Captain Tiiiy
on serious charges. Captain Chadwlck,
one of the most malignant and persistent
conspirators against Admiral Schley, Is
understood to be slated for command of a
ship attached to one of the Asiatic squad
rons. Secretary Long has had it In mind
to surrender his portfolio ever since Pres
ident McKlnley died, so that he will be in
a position to say. when he does get out.
that his retirement wps not forced by tbe
vindication of Admiral Schley. There has
been a state of uneasiness in the depart
ment ever since the court began execu
tive sessions.
Admirals Dewey, Beriham and Ramsay,
who comprise the court, have worked in
dustriously. They have devoted long
hours to the task of arranging the evi
dence so as to arrive at an Intelligent un
derstanding of its application to the
charges preferred against Admiral Schley.
It Is known that they have made ouch
progress that they will be ready within a
comparatively short time to present their
findings to the Secretary of the Navy.
