THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 3, 190t TiGuTS QUICK DISPATCH RECEIVED OVER 150,000 BUSHELS OP WHEAT IX a4 HOURS. PrliiKcsxe -Marie TalfCH First Flour Curgro of the Season lor Europe South African AVlieat Cargo, The Norwegian steamship Tiger was cleared yesterday for Antwerp direct by A. Berg with 151.421 bushels of -wheat, valued at $90,850. The Danish bark Prin gesse Marie was cleared by the Portland Flouring Mills Company for Queenstown or Falmouth for orders, with 24,345 barrels of flour, valued at JG4.000. The Tiger, which will pioneer the December grain fleet from Portland, arrived at Astoria No vember 25, and reached Portland the fol lowing morning. She finished loading the flfth day after her arrival in port, but remained over until yesterday to coaL She will leave down this morning. While the dispatch given this vessel is by no means the best that has been given a ship here this season, it is so much bet ter than anything that has been done on Puget Sound, that it is worthy of spe cial mention. The Tiger commenced taking wheat last Wednesday, but one gang working that day, as the liners were not througlr with their work. This gang "worked seven hours on Wednesday, and two gangs were put on the next day and worked nine hours each Thursday, Friday and Satur day, finishing the ship easily Saturday evening, the time turned in by Brown &. McCabe's foreman, who worked the ship, "being exactly 31 hours. This was an aver age of 4453 bushels per hour. The Ta coma papers have had considerable to cay of late about the quick dispatch that, is given wheat chips on Puget Sound. The Ledger last Thursday printed the following: The threo-masted British ship Garsdale, Cap tain W J. King, finished loading her cargo of wheat yesterday morning and was shifted Into the stream by the tus Fearless, after haxlns received the quckest dispatch given any wheat carrier this season. McCabc & Hamilton, stevedores, loaded the Garsdale and gave her her cargo of 25C4 tons of wheat In 35 working hours. November 14 the Garsdale arrived In Tacoma from down Sound, having aboard 2400 barrels of cement to discharge here. Last Fri day she began taking on her cargo of wheat, working nine hours Friday, nine hours Satur day, seven hours Monday, nine hours Tuesday and one hour yesterday morning, when she was finished. This Is the quickest dispatch any grain-carrier has received here this vcason, and the Garsdale would have been finished In even less than 35 hours had the wheat been reacy for her. The time given by the Ledger for the Garsdale shows that the ship received her cargo at the rate of 2735 bushels per hour, compared with the 4453 bushels per hour received by the Portland ship. This is 171S bushels per hour better dispatch given In this city than was shown by "the quick est dispatch of the season" at Tacoma. The rise and fall of the tide at Tacoma make It Impossible for ships to be loaded as quickly there as at Portland, as it disarranges the staging and "prevents stevedores working to such good advantage as they can work at Portland. At the same time the difference should hardly be as great as it was between the Garsdale and the Tiger, for the latter was slow work compared with some that has been done here. NEW STEEL CABLE. Tusr Voubnrg Is Equipped to Go in Search of Lumber Schooner. ASTORIA, Dec 2. The tug George R. A'osburg received a new steel cable for her patent towing machine today and took on a large supply of coal. She will leave tomorrow morning in eearch of the lumber-laden barge C. H.

Cole, of San Francisco. The last named was a colored cook. THE SUTHERLAND ASHORE. Portland Lumber Stenmer In Trouble at Taintnu, China. The Pacific Export Lumber Company yesterday received a cablegram from the master of the British steamship Suther land, stating that his steamer had dragged ashore in a gale at Tsintau and sustained severe injuries. The Sutherland, which Is under a time charter to the Portland com pany, sailed from this port October 24, with almost a .full cargo of lumber for Shanghai and Tsintau. In addition to the lumber, she carried about -10,000 bar rels of flour. She arrived at Tsintau last Saturday and after discharging was ex pected to return to this coast for a cargo of wheat. The Sutherland is a new steamer of 22S0 tons net register, and Is an enormous carrier for her register. CARGO FOR THE CAPE. French Baric Louis Pasteur "Will Clear Today for South Africa. The French bark Louis Pasteur is In the Btream ready for sea, and -will clear today with a full cargo of wheat for South Af rica. She was dispatched by Kerr. Gif ford & Co., and carries S3.650 bushels of -wheat, valued at $56,190.

The British shiR RIversdale. from San Diego and the Norwegian bark Olivia, from Panama, arrived in at Astoria yesterday afternoon, and the last report from the Cape stated that there were three three masters and one four-masted vessel out side. The Ernest F.eyer, from Madagas car: Fulwood, from Talcahuano, and Wil liam Mitchell, from Table Bay, are sup posed to be In the bunch, but there are so many others due that it Is difficult to determine what the vessels are until they reach port With so mans due. it would not be surprising if the morning report from the Cape announced the pres ence of a dozen vessels in the offing. The fleet in port Is pretty well cleaned up, and the late arrivals will be welcomed. Cargo of Lumber. ASTORIA, Dec. 2.

Two of them are destined for Chile, and the other for the Argentine, and all three are being shipped by the same agents on instructions re cently received by telegraph from Buenos Ayres and Valparaiso.

VERDICTS IN FOUR' CASES SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS THREE LOWER JUDGMENTS. Marriage Revokes a Will Made by Woman Before Such Contract Salt for Professional Services. SALEM, Or., Dec. 2. The Supreme Court today handed down three decisions In ad dition to the Eastern Oregon Panhandle case. They are: Lydla M. Willis, appellant, vs. Jeanctte Booth, administratrix of the estate of John C. Booth, deceased, respondent, from Marlon County; R. P. Boise, Judge; af firmed. Opinion by Chief Justice Bean.- The only question involved in this case was as to the validity of the will of a married woman that was executed pre vious to her marriage. Circuit Judge MONS1GNORE It la said Mgr. Merry Del Val Is the present choice of the Vatican for the post of apostolic delegate to the United States, to succeed Cardinal Martlnelli.who will return to Rome as soon as his successor here Is appointed. Mgr. Del Val has been apostolic delegate to Canada. He Is now president of the Pontifical Academy of Nobles at Rome, and occupies the same pooitlon as did Mgr. Sa tolll when he was sent as delegate to Washington. He is a great favorite with Leo XIII, tvho has for eome years uhown .him every evidence of his friendship and has allowed him to occupy. apartments In the Vatican. Mgr. Del Val is 35 years old. and Is a descendant of one of Spaln'o noblest families. His mother was an Englishwoman, and he was born In England, receiving his early educa tion from the Jesuit fathers in Stonyhurst College. His higher education was received in the Academy of Nobles, In Rome, the Institution of which he Is now president. He was ordained to the priesthood soon after the appointment of his father as Spanish Ambassador to the Vatican, and was almost Immediately made private wecretary to the Pope. ! - Boise held that marriage operates as a re- : vocation of the will under such circum stances, and the Judgment of the lower court was affirmed. L. H. McMahan, appellant, vs. Canadian Pacific Railway, respondent, from Marlon County; G. H. Burnett, Judge; reversed. Opinion by Justice Wolverton. This was a suit brought to recover about 54W on an advertising account contracted by the Canadian Pacific Company with Mr. McMahan, publisher of the Woodburn in dependent and the Salem Independent, The case was dismissed in the lower court on nonsuit on motion of defendant. The Supreme Court sustains the lower court In granting a nonsuit for the reason that Mc Mahan was suing to recover on a verbal contract and a written contract was sub sequently produced by the defendant cor poration. The Appellate Court holds that error was made In granting a nonsuit on the second count for the reason that sultl cient evidence was adduced by the plain tiff to convince a jury that some authority existed for the performance of the work by McMahan. On these grounds the court holds that the case should have gone to the Jury. The case Is remanded for such further proceedings as may seem, appro priate. R, E. L. Stelner, respondent, vs. Polk County, appellant, from Polk County; G. H. Burnett, Judge; affirmed. Opinion by Chief Justice Bean.

WASHINGTON, Dec 2,-Secretary Root today declined to express an opinion as to the effect of the Insular decisions in the Supreme Court today, until he has had an opportunity to read them in full. Figures obtained at the War De partment and Treasury Bureau of Statis tics relative to the trade affected show that from the beginning of United States 1 occupancy of the Philippines, August, zz, 1S9S. up to June 30, last, the total imports in the Philippines from the "United States were valued at J1,607,4SS, while during the same period the Imports from Spain were valued at $1,993,990. On the other hand, the imports into the United States from the Philippines from September 1, 1S93, to December 1. 1901, aggregated 515-.44S.600. But of this large total, only 51.S&i.523 con sisted of dutiable goods, so that the re fund on these would not be large. INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY More of It Should Be Acquired in the Schools. PORTLAND, Dec 2. (To the Editor.) "Individual responsibility." that Is It, "not leniency." And this latter. In neither things antecedent nor things consequent; but It Is chiefly the first of these two which elicits my special in terest. Not long since there was an article, founded upon the experience of teachers. MERRY DEL VAL. JL .. deprecatory of the supposed influence of kindergartens; another gave the expres sion of an Eastern teacher, to the effect that the high school was training num bers for the penctentiary. Where lies the real evil? In the com mon school the same evil works. Do the American people, who vaunt Webster's dictionary, read and abide by his definition of education? Plainly, they do not. Whose is the responsibil ity? That of the kindergarten is only incidental; that of the high school but a climax. And In the Intermediate school life the work is elaborated and made easy to the Injury of the pupil's habits of self-reliance and grip. They do more of Imbibing than of taking hold; and years are spent In going over ground that should be accomplished in compara tively short space of time. Of course, the principles Involved do not rest wholly nor even chiefly with the schools. Should not the already quoted definition from Webster be Included In the teachers' examinations? And thus also the attention be arrested by those in charge of the homes, where the evil makes strong headway before the handi capped teacher takes the mighty mat ter In hand. One of the evils of mistaking Intellec tual acquirement for thorough education. Is the conceit which leads Into the suppo sition that to be conspicuous Is to be famous; so that shame Is lost to the crim inal and to others concerning crime; and thus young girls do not know that they are disgracing themselves when, as re cently quoted, seeking and craving a view of malefactors. Plainly there Is need of radical reform as to what Is for the benefit of the Individual, and conse quently for the wnole. PUBLIC SPIRIT. Economic Depression of Austria. NEW YORK, Dec. 2. The Vienna cor respondent of the London Times and New York Times says that although it Is not known to a certainty what passed at the Ministerial council held on Friday, under the presidency of Emperor Francis Jo seph, there is an uncomfortable feeling that a large sum Is wanted for military purposes. The economic depression of Austria - Hungary, says the corre spondent. Is such that fresh mili tary burdens would be rendered well-nigh intolerable. It Is not as tonishing that the Minister of Finance is at his wits' end in regard as to how to meet the terms of the Minister of War, and a dinlculty has arisen between them. A dissolution is probable, says the corre spondent. In the event of further parlia mentary obstruction or the failure of the Government, to pass the Ausgleich. Both in Vienna and In Budapest the sit uation inspires a good deal of concern. Strike Is Practically Over. PITTSBURG, Dec. 2. The strike begun by the members of the Switchmen's Union a week ago is practically over, although the switchmen say their ranks are holding firm, and none of their number has gone back, while there have been a number of accessions during the -week. The strike, however, has failed to tie up any of the railroads, and all the lines are now receiv ing freight, while the yards are being cleared up. The tled-up plants are resum ing operations. Sr.IIed for South America. VICTORIA, B. C. Dec 2. H. M. S. Warsplte left today. She will call at San Diego en route to South America ports, where she will spend the Winter. H. M. S. Condor sailed for Honolulu, thence to the Islands of the South Sea. Peter Stirling: Sold. NEW YORK, Dec 2. At tho Faslg Tlpton sale today, Peter Stirling, chest nut gelding 3-year-old, the 2:11 world's champion, was sold to Frank Work, of this city, for 59300. It Is no longer necessary to take blue pills to rouse the liver to action. Carter's Little Liver Pills are much better. Don't forget this. BRITISHERS WANT A CITY HOPE TO GET SKAGWAY BY BE NEVOLENT ASSIMILATION. Ob Customs Forms They Object to "Skastvay, Alaska" Waiting: to Assert Their Claim. PORT TOWNSEND, Wash., Dec. 2. Ac cording to advices from Alaska, the Cana dian Government still retains faint hopes that Skagway Is in Canada, and some Canadian authorities insist that in Cana dian custom forms Skagway shall not ap pear as "Skagway, Alaska," but as plain "Skagway," with the word "Alaska" omitted. This action Americans interpret to mean that Canada does not purpose to recognize American ownership of that place. The Skagway News says: "Some time ago the Alaska Pacific Express Company had printed, under orders from E. S. Bus by, supervising o nicer of Canadian cus toms, a quantity of stickers for pasting on express packages. The slips bear the legend "From Skagway, Alaska, to Daw son, Y. T." They were Intended to facili tate handling the matter at the Custom House. According to report, which does not come directly from the express com pany. Mr. Busby has been notified that the slips must be destroyed and new ones printed without the word Alaska on them. This demand of the supervising officer of Canadian customs has caused much comment among Americans, some of whom v that the action of Canadian officials since the foundation of Skagway tends to show that Canada still intends to lay claim to Skagway and tne narrow strip of land between that place and the bound ary line, and that when the time is ripe will openly lay claim to it. as it Is the only seaport by which Yukon territory can be reached. Territorial Government Wanted. Another move Is on root In Alaska to se cure a regular territorial form of govern ment, including a delegate to Congress. At the present session ot the United States Court at Juneau, a proposition Is to be made to the Alaska Bar Association to take in hand the matter of calling a ter ritorial convention for objects as above stated. Many of the leading attorneys are favorable to the plan. Gambling: Outlawed. Since the order was Issued a year ago against gambling In Dawson, several gam bling houses have been run on the quiet, but on November 20 the Dominion gam bling resort was held up by two masked men. Tne arrest of two men named Tom lln and Brophy, charged with the crime, brought the matter to the attention or Governor Ross, who has Issued a sweeping order against gambling In all parts ot Yukon Territory. Mounted police have strict orders to enforce It. PASSENGERS AND TREASURE. Steamer Arrives From Skajcway After Rough Vorage. PORT TOWNSEND. Dec. 2. After a tempestuous voyage from Skagway. the steamer AI-KI arrived this morning, bring ing 40 passengers and 570.000 In treasure. Among the passengers on the Al-KI was Antone Trlppio. a lunatic, in charge of United States Deputy Marshal Staiey. who Is taking him to Salem to the asylum. Trlppio went crazy at Dawson, and the mounted police took charge of him and brought him up the river and to the boun dary line near Skagway, where they turned him Ioo.se so that he could reach Skagway. Upon his amval there he ter rorized the citizens and was finally taken in custody and placed In jail, where he made several unsuccessful attempts to fire the building. Considerable indignation prevails at Skagway over the action of the Canadian police, as Trlppio Is dan gerous. Advices from White Horse November 23 state that the place Is In danger of be ing flooded. An Ice Jam down the river has backed up the water until the lower end of the town is flooded, and as the warm weather continues grave fears are entertained that the water will continue to rise until the entire city Is Inundated. On November 21 a young sailor on the Al-KI named George Freeman fell from the dock at Wrangel and was drowned. Freeman's people live at San Francisco. He shipped on the AI-Kl at Seattle.

Keep Oat the Hoboci. PORTLAND. Dec. 2. (To the Editor.) Permit me space in your paper to ask a question. There has been and is being said considerable about the "hobo" ele ment now flooding our city. While the police are endeavoring to rid the city of these "toughs" and "hoodlums" why not use a few of the police to keep moro from coming In? I can positively state that passenger train No. 1. on the Northern Pacific, arriving at 7 A. M., brings regu larly from two to six of these men and boys, as a great many, if not a majority, are under 20 years of age. unrter, between and on top of the passenger cars. Those on top and between get off, if possible, before entering the yards at the depot but all those on the trucks and brace rods crawl out in the depot yard on the east side of the train and after crossing the barbwire fence start up town. What I would like to know is why are these men allowed to enter In this way to prey upon our citizens with intentions of rob bery, even murder? The case of recent date shows that not the greatest caution is used in keeping these men off Incoming trains. Within two weeks I have count ed 34 men and boys getting off this train, not to say how many came in on other trains in like manner. Why not give them employment on the rock pile or city park?
