PEMBROKESHIRE IN PORT
FIJfKST STEAM FREIGHTER THAT
EVER CAME TO PORTLAND.
Captain Kennedy's Quick Trip
Around the "World Stennmnlp
Argryll Arrives at Astoria.
Thft British steamship Pembrokeshire,
the finest specimen of a modern built
freighter that has yet visited Portland,
arrived at Montgomery dock yesterday
afternoon in command of Captain John
Kennedy. The Pembrokeshire sailed from
London on her maiden trip last August, in
command of Captain AV. A. Evans, who,
like Captain Kennedy, is well known in
Portland. Soon after passing Ushant Cap
tain Evans was taken seriously 111, and
his condition became so alarming after
passing Gibraltar, that the steamer was
taken Into Algiers, where the captain was
landed. The steamer then proceeded to
Buez in charge of First Officer "W. Henry.
At Suez she was Joined by Captain Ken
nedy. The Pembrokeshire is one of the
largest carriers for her tonnage that ever
entered the port. She left London with
7500 tons dead weight cargo and coal, and
will take from Portland over 200,000 bush
els of wheat. The steamer is not only a
big carrier, but she is splendidly equipped
for quick handling of cargo, having im
mense hatches and plenty of big steam
winches all over the deck. Her officers
quarters are handsomely furnished, and
are conveniently located amidships.
Captain Kennedy, who is justly proud of
his fine ship, has made the fastest trip
around the world from Portland that has
ever been made by any of the shipmasters
coming here. He left Portland for Eu
rope tine latter part of April, with the old
reliable Asiatic liner Monmouthshire on
her farewell trip from the Pacific Coast,
calling at San Diego, Coronel, Montevideo
and St. Vincent. On reaching the end of
his 16,000-mile Journey around the two
continents. Captain Kennedy found that
his command had been sold for a "West In
dian fruiter. After she discharged her
cargo of wheat from Portland Captain
Kennedy went ashore for a few weeks
rest, but after three days' Idleness was
summoned to London to take command of
the steamship Denbighshire, then loading
for the far East. When his steamship
was loaded and cleared and was waiting
for a pilot. Captain Kennedy was ordered
to Suez to relieve Captain Evans, who
had been taken ill at Algiers. He went
by rail from London to Brindlsl, thence
by steamer to Port Said, and from there
to Suez by rail, reaching the Pembroke
shire four days after leaving London.
The first stop of the steamer after leav
ing Suez was at Penang. She discharged
cargo at this port, Singapore, Hong Kong,
Shanghai and Nagasaki, proceeding to
Kutchlnotzu to coal for the trip across
the Pacific. She got away from the coal
ing port November 2G, and experienced
fairly good weather up to the line, but
after passing It her voyage was a suc
cession of gales which retarded her prog
ress so that she was 21 days in making
the voyage. Chief Engineer Cropley, of
the Pembrokeshire, like Captain Kennedy,
Is no stranger In Portland, as he occupied
a similar position on the Monmouthshire
after the retirement of Mr. Hicks. The
other officers are as follows: First offi
cer, William Henry: second officer, Mar
cus Davles; third officer, William Metcair;
second engineer, H. Deardon; third en
gineer, W. Thomas; fourth engineer, H.
Collins; ste.ward, H. Greenwood. The crew
numbers 50 men all told, and is composed J
of Chinese and Filipinos.
While In Japan Captain Kennedy, picked
up a number of curios, which he Intend
ed to take back to England. Among these
was a Japanese bear of a rare breed,
valuable on account of Its scarcity. Tnls
bear enjoyed the trip across the Pacific,
and made no attempt to escape until the
vessel reached the Columbia. The beauty
of the Autumn scenery along the shores
appealed to him, and shortly after dusk
Wednesday evening, while steaming past
St. Helens, the bear was missed, and has
not since reported. The river Is not very
wide at the point where he is supposed to
have taken his departure, and he probably
succeeded in reaching shore and freedom.
Any dweller along the river who finds
a Japanese bear trespassing on his prop
erty can secure a reward by bringing the
animal up to the master of the Pembroke
shire. The steamer is at Montgomery
dock, and will commence loading as soon
as the lining Is in place. She will be given
quick dispatch and will probably get away
by the latter part of next week.
XO PILOTS ON .SCHOONER.
Insufficient Number on Board to Look
After the BuninesH.
Captain J. A. Bobbins, master of tne
British ship Falklandbank, In a report to
his agents of his experience off the mouth
of the Columbia River, places a new Hgnt
on the service at Astoria. While com
plaint has been made at the tugboat serv
ice, this is the first indication that has
been given that the pilot service was in
adequate. The report says:
"I made a fair run from Santa Rosalia,
leaving that port November 5, and on De
cember 1 was within 120 miles of the bar.
when we met a succession of southeast
storms and very bad weather, and, know
ing it to be a very dangerous port to ap
proach with a heavy ship in ballast, I
awaited a chance to run In. I got witnln
30 miles of the lightship again on Decern,
"ber 7, but bad weather threatening, went
to sea again. On he. 9th I ran In, being in
company with the ship William Mitchell,
which spoke the pilot cutter before I did
and took the only pilot there was from
her. I still kept running my ship for tfie
pilot cutter, feeling confident of getting
my pilot, which would have been a great
relief and help to me In case of hazy
weather or a chance offering to run In
over the bar. But after-getting within a
half a mile of the pilot cutter she hoisted
a signal saying, 'No pilots on board.' We
then had to make sail and use all judg
ment and opportunity of getting the ship
out of a dangerous position and to sea
again, which I thought at times It would
be impossible to do. I therefore had
cables and anchors chained for letting go.
Fprtunately a change of wind to the
southeast sprung up, and we got off shore
again, the following day being again 20 to
SO miles west southwest of the port, agatn
in company with the ship William Mitch
el which ship has not arrived in yet.
I again worked my ship up to the light
ship on December 13, and at daylight
got a pilot, also a tugboat, and was towed
to Astoria, after spending a very anxious
10 days off the port.
"I think for a great shipping port like
this and the amount of tonnage visiting It
annually, especially the number of ballast
ships coming here to load, that the great
dread all sailing captains have of this fine
port would be greatly lessened, providing
we could feel confident when running
down on a lee shore to know a pilot
could be had at all times and a good tug
Just attending to ships in assisting them
into anchorage and back to help another
ship awaiting its services. For instance,
when speaking the pilot boat and getting
no pilot, the boatkeeper or captain of
the boat Informed me no towboat would
be down until the following morning.
Therefore, the thought of having to lay
all night with the prospects of no as
sistance, I cannot help but saying. In all
my experience of 2S years as ship master
and entering many difficult harbors In all
parts of the world, that if some better as
sistance could be extended to ships com
ing here to load, that the dread of com
ing here would be greatly relieved. Yours
truly, J. A BOBBINS,
"Master Ship Falklandbank."
GERMANY HAS AN INTEREST.
Hamunrs;-American Line Owns Valu
able Concession on Lake Nicaragua.
NEW YORK. Dec 19. A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
It is learned Germany expects to have
something to -cay about the Nicaragua
Canal because of the interests of a Ger
man corporation in a concession that will
be Interfered with and possibly destroyed
by its construction. This interest has
been obtained through the purchase by
the Hamburg-American Steamship Com
pany of the Atlas Steamship Company.
The former is a German corporation, and
the latter la British. The Hamburg
American Company is subsidized by the
German Government, and its ships can
be called upon for auxiliary cruisers of
the German Navy in time of war.
Under the concession from Nicaragua
which the Hamburg-American line has
acquired, it is asserted by foreign diplo
mats here, exclusive navigation rights of
the San Juan River and of Lake Nica
ragua are secured to the German com
pany. The history' of the concession before it
came into German hands dates from be
fore 1877. A company organized under the
name of the Nicaragua Mall Steam Navi
gation & Trading Company acquired the
concession. Subsequently the Atlas Steam
ship Company, a British company, run
ning a line of steamers from New York
to Greytown and other ports in the Carib
bean, bought the steamers, plants and
concession of the Nicaragua Company,
and applied for an extension and enlarge
ment of the contract. Thle was granted
by Nicaragua in June, 1S57, and the con
tracts thus obtained were transferred to
the Caribbean &. Pacific Transit Company,
an auxiliary of the Atlas Company.
The contracts gave to the Atlas Steam
ship Company the exclusive right of
steam navigation in the Sllaco Lagoon
for 30 years, dating from the approval
of the contract, on September 30, 1S97, and
the exclusive right for the same time
of constructing tramways and railways
along the line to avoid the obstacles in
the lower part of the San Juan River.

making the transit to San Juan del Norte,
or Greytown, more rapid during the dry
season. The company obligated Itself to
construct within three years a narrow
gauge railroad about five miles long from
a point on the Silaco Lagoon to a point
on the San Juan River, near the Colorado
Junction, and suitable warehouses and
wharves at the terminals for passenger,
freight and other service. This road is
now in operation.
This concession, with all the property
of the Atlas Steamship Company, was
purchased recently by the Hamburg
American line.
BEAT THE QUARANTINE OFFICER.
And Ttto Men Are Under Arrest for
Boarding: a Vessel.
PORT TOWNSEND. Dec. 13. The first
step was taken today for the enforcement
of tho regulation relative to boarding ves
sels ahead of the quarantine officer by the
arrest of Windom J. Lewis, a member of
the City Council, and representing Mc
Cabe & Hamilton, stevedores, and A, C.
Tweedle, local manager of the Steeb
Shipping Company, on a warrant sworn
out by Dr. M. H. Foster, United States
quarantine officer. Both men boarded the
British ship Elginshire before she had
passed inspection. The case will come up
for hearing Saturday before United States
Commissioner Kuhn. It will probably be
taken to the highest court for final set
tlement. The wreckage sighted by Captain Sand
all, of the Willowdene, on December 17,
In latitude 124:52 and longitude 45:40, off
the Columbia River, consisting of what
appeared to be a vessel bottomslde up and
a number of floating spars, Is creating
considerable conjecture among shipping
men as to the Identity of the unfortun
ate craft. Several wooden vessels are
overdue at Puget Sound from San Fran
cisco and other Southern ports, and which
should have been In the vicinity of where
the wreckage was sighted about the time
of the severe storm, December 3. The
Willowdene passed within a quarter of a
mile of the wreckage, but did not take the
trouble to ascertain Its Identity.

FOR A NEW IDAHO MILITIA
ADJUTANT-GENERAL WEAVER AT
WORK ON REORGANIZATION.
He Favors an Annunl Competitive
Tournament Fusion Is Dead
In Politics.
Reorganization of the Idaho National
Guard, which is now In progress, has
been directed by Adjutant-General J. u.
Weaver, of Boise. General Weaver was In
the city yesterday, en route to his home,
from the Coeur d'Alene district, where
two companies of the Idaho National
Guard have been organized. In speaking
of the militia of his state. General Wea
ver said:
"When the work of reorganization is
completed, the Idaho National Guard will
be composed of one full regiment of In
fantry, made up of 12 companies, one
troop of cavalry and one battery of light
artillery. Our efforts thus far have been
largely confined to the completion of the
Infantry regiment, which now consists of
eight companies. Applications are now in
that will provide for two more companies,
and wo expect to have the regiment fully
organized within 60 days.
"The members of the different branches
of the service will not only be adequately
equipped, but steps will be taken to in
sure a degree of efficiency that will de
velop a splendid lot of soldiers. I Intend
to issue a special order January 1 to of
ficers of companies, directing them to com
pel tho attendance of the men to at least
one drill a month, in default of which the
delinquents will be court-martialed and
dismissed. There is already in existence
a state law fixing the fines to be Imposed
Tor non-attendance at drills, and regulat
ing the procedure for the collection of the
same in the Justice Courts.
"But the fine system has not been found
to work with any degree of satisfaction.
In some cases the penalties have been
enforced, but In the majority the offi
cers have not felt Inclined to go to the
length of instituting legal proceedings to
collect the amounts. The Idea which was
expressed by Oregon guardsmen following
the success of the military tournament at
the last Carnival held In Portland, that
there be established an annual competitive
drill for National Guard companies of the
Northwest, would produce good results. It
would stimulate the Interest of men and
create a comnanv nride and an ambition
! to have and to hold all the trophies pos
j slble. Something of the sort would un
doubtedly prove of great value, and I
hope the men who are Interested here
will make their plans go through. We i
are equipping the Infantry companies in t
Idaho with Krag-Jorgensen rifles, and the i
cavalry and artillery will be provided with i
up-to-date equipment.
"The presence of two companies of the
National Guard In the Coeur d'Alene dis
trict will prevent a recurrence of the
riotous times that took place during the '
strike, of 1S99. At that time our state
troops were all in the service of the United ,
States, and it was necessary to call upon
the regulars to restore law and 'order In i
the disturbed district. In the last two I
seasons of the Legislature the Fusionlst
elements were in control, and the bills
Introduced for the proper equipment and i
maintenance of the National Guard were
defeated. We hope for success at the next
session, and with adequate funds at our
disposal we will place the militia of the
state on a high plane of efficiency. At
the last session of the Legislature I sub
mitted a code of laws to govern the militia I
of the state, which had been approved by
prominent guardsmen and by regular
Army officers, but the lawmakers refused
to pas the measure."
TTlP TVlUtlonl cltllntfnn In TrlnVin annnnl-
Ing to General Weaver. Is shaping up !
along old-time party lines. Fusion Is dead
and will be impossible in the future. The
Silver Republicans have returned to the
regular organization, and the Populists .
ana uemocrais are too rar apart to join
forces again. General Weaver said that
the Democrats would reaffirm the Chicago
platform, sliver plank and all, and make
a straight party fight along those lines.
Considerable speculation Is being in-
du,sed In as to where United States Sen
ator Dubois stands. At the time of his ,
' election the straight Democrats In the :
! -olnt convention could control but seven
,ro1 " ne ,votcs' Yh,ch wlth the w of thB ',
, en,ublia'ns wo"ld sive the necessary ma- ,
i J . u","ll! Juint u-miou ine exw
: ? votes ?ould, "ot be secured, and Du
t b!s la5Lelec Jed.,by the Fusionlsts
After his election Senator Dubois an
"nced that he represented
that he represented the "new ,
Democracy." The regular Democrats took
the statement as meaning the Fusionlsts. ,
but the Fusion Issue is dead, and the "new
Democracy" will be buried at- the next
election. General Weaver was the most I
active worker In behalf of ex-Governor
Steuncnberg. who was opposing Dubois' !
candidacy, although he was not an avowed j
candidate. Dubois still has four years to
serve, and by that time General Weaver'
believes the state will have settled down !
to straight party lines and the Issues be- I
tween the Populists, Democrats and Re
publicans will be clearly defined.
In the event of the Republicans carry
ing the State Legislature, there will be
several Senatorial candidates. Judge W.
B. Ileyburn, of Wallace and Spokane, is
an announced candidate. Others who are
expected to be In the race are W. H. Bo
rah, a prominent Republican and lawyer
of Boise; the present United States Sena
tor, George L. Shoup; Frank Goodln,
chairman of the Republican State Cen
tral Committee, and Judge Standrod, who
was a candidate for Governor at the last
election, and who was appointed National
committeeman from Idaho when Senator
Shoup resigned from that position. One
fact that augurs well for Republican suc-
i cess s..Jhat Jhe Emigrants who are rapid
ly settling the agricultural sections of the
state are nearly all Republicans, and as
men and women have equal suffrage
rights In Idaho, this factor Is to be con
sidered. General Weaver estimates that
GO00 more votes will be polled at the next
election than at the last, and the major
ity will come from new settlers.

a total wreck. Eight of the crew, all
deckhands, were drowned. All the officers
were saved.
Len Martin, a passenger on the boat,
was rescued from the water, but died
from fright on his way to this city. An
eyewitness to the disaster says the boat
steamed straight to the dam and went
