Large Lumber Business. The record of a grain or flour cargo for every business day In the month is still holding good In this port, "and January grain shipments "will come closer to break ing all previous records than those of any other month this season. The British ship Glenlul and the British ship Anarus bth completed their cargoes last even ing, making a total of 10 ships that have been loaded with wheat since Jan uary L In addition to the 16 wheat cargoes, the Formosa and the Strath gyle cleared during the month with flour cargoes. The wheat ships finishing since January 1 were as follows: Tarpenbek, Falklandbank, Seestern, Torridon, Ilala, Palatinia, La Rochefoucauld. Wendur, Susanne. William Mitchell, Castor, Carl, Bardowle, Scottish Minstrel, Glenlul and Anarus. The fleet carried a total of over 1,650,000 bushels of wheat, and the flour taken out by the Formosa and the Strathgyle brings the amount up pretty close to 2,000,000 bushels, with over a week still left In the month and several vessels being hurried to completion In order to make room for the vessels now dropping In. From present Indications, Portland will ship considerable more wheat during the season (July 1, 190L to July L 1902),. than was shipped in the (previous "season, but It proml&es to be shipped earljer, and the heavy movement of the cereal will not be carried over Into the Summer as it has been In the past two years. RUMORS OF THE COMBINE. Liverpool Shipping Circles Discredit Report of Steamship Consolidation. NEW YORK. Jan. 22. The Idea of a prospective amalgamation of Liverpool trans-Atlantic lines under American man agement Is dl&credlted in Liverpool ship ping circles, says the Liverpool corre spondent of the Herald. The Cunard Line, which, with the White Star, Is reported as having entered the consolidation, em phatically disclaims all knowledge of the supposed deal. Representatives of the American Line and Leyland Line state that they have no confirmation of the ru mored combination. The White Star people say they can only repeat their denial previously given respecting similar reports. Regarding re ports that were the combination effected on present plans, the Cunard Company would be Isolated and would have to fight the combination, its general manager, Mr. Moorhouee, said: "The matter Is not worth discus-sing. The idea of the Cunard Line being squeezed out is utter nonsense." He knew nothing about a combination. Sir William Forwood, a Cunard director, is going to America shortly, but Mr. Moor house denied that his visit related to t&e Cunard Company's business. The opinion expressed by several promi nent shipowners is that the prospective combination of trans-Atlantic -firms for a revival of the Atlantic freight conference has been magnified Into a rumor of a general amalgamation of the companies concerned. Competition has reduced freights greatly, and the hope may be en tertained that the conference, which has been in abeyance for several years, will be re-established and the lines agree to raise freight and also passenger rates. Liverpool shipowners have done notnlng io fix passenger rates for the Summer holidays. They are Inundated with re quests for rates for return fares from the United States during August and Septem ber to terminal points In England. A mere riyvislon-jof -rates, -however. Is thought by many to be too insignificant an explana tion of the mission of the representatives of the White Star and American Lines, Rumors are persistent that It Is probable that an announcement will be made after their arrival on the Celtic in New York on Thursday, which. If not a notice of amalgamation with the Morgan syndicate, will be an arrangement tantamount to It. STEAMSHIP MOVEMENTS. Overdue Wilhelmlnn. Reaches Port Townxend. The Dutch steamship Wllhelmina ar rived In at Port Townsend yesterday after a passage of over five weeks from the Orient. This time has been beaten frequently by sailing vessels and the craft was so long overdue that 30 per cent reinsurance was ofTered on her. The Wllhelmina was consigned to Taylor Young & Co.. of this city, and was orig inally chartered for the Government transport service, but on account of her Selayed arrival, the Oceano was substi tuted last month. The Margherita, whfch arrived In at As toria Tuesday, commenced loading yes terday, and will be given quick dispatch. The Portland & Asiatic liner Indravelli Is due from the Orient next Monday, and a large amount of freight has piled up here awaiting her arrival. She is behind time and will be given much quicker dis patch than usual, In order to get her out of the river as nearly as- possible on her schedule. The British steamship Hatisu, which Is coming here to the Pacific Ex port Lumber Company to load for Vladlv ostock with flour and lumber. Is also due next week. The California & Oriental liner Thyra Is expected from the Orient by way of Ban Diego, In February. She will take out only a part cargo, but will assist In relieving the blockade of Oriental freight at this port. As the Hatisu and Indravelli will both go over for February clearing, and the Indrapura will get around in time to clear next month. Port land will have at least four Oriental steamers In the shortest month of the fear. OX HER MAIDEX TRIP. French Dark Jacobsen Has Sailed From Nantes for Portland. The French shipowners are not so badly disturbed over the treatment their ships are receiving at Portland as to make them unwilling to continue sending them here. The French bark Jacobsen, Just out of the builders' hands, sailed from Nantes for Portland last Saturday, and will reach this port in time to participate In the low freights at the tall end of the present season. The Jacobsen, which seems to be sailing under a nom de plume. Is of the regulation size for bounty-earners, reglstering'1730 tons net. The Frenchj captains now in port state that a number of other vessels now nearlng completion at the French yards will come to Portland as soon as they are launched. The French bark Moliere, which was the flrst of the disengaged ships to reach this port, 1b reported chartered to load on Puget Sound, and will leave out In a day or two. The rate of the Duquesne, which sailed for San Francisco, was not SO shillings, as originally reported, but 2Ss 3d. As this rate was obtainable In this port, exporters are wondering why the vessel sailed away to another port Involving extra expense without any ad ditional recompense except the mileage bounty paid by the French government. The Ernest Reyer, which Is to receive orders off the mouth of the river re questing her to proceed to San Francisco, Is becoming slightly overdue, and unless she shows up within a few days will be a subject for reinsurance. BIG LUMBER FLEET. Five Vessels Reach Saa Francisco From Portland. Three of the Eastern Lumber Com pany's coasting fleet arrived at -San Francisco In the 24 hours ending yester day afternoon. The Lakme arrived late Tuesday evening, tho W. J. Patterson yesterday morning, and the Harry Morse yesterday afternoon. Tho three vessels carried cargoes aggregating over 2,000,000 feet of lumber. The schooner John A, from this port with lumber also arrived at San Francisco yesterday, and tho Ruth arrived Tuesday evening. Arrivals of over 3,000,000 feet of Portland Lumber at the Bay City within 24 hours is some thing unusual, but will be of more fre quent occurrence In the future, as the business of shipping by water has re ceived a fresh impetus since the railroads became too prosperous to handle all of the lumber that was offered for ship ment 'from northern ports to California. .Crnlse of the Grant. PORT TOWNSEND, Wash., Jan. 22. The United States revenue cutter Grant returned today from a cruise along the coast of Vancouver Island In search of wreckage that might have reached that rocky coast Captain Tozlcr reports that the schooner which has been drifting about for some time bottom up, and was reported to be the schooner Paint, has gone ashore on the rocks two miles east of Cape Beal light station. An examination failed to give any clew as to the name of the un fortunate craft, and her identity remains a mystery as well as the fate of her crew. RIOT OX THE ARGYLL. Too Much Christmas Cheer Attended With Bad Results. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 22. News has been received by the steamer Argyll that a riot broke out on the Pacific Steam Nav igation Company's steamer Columbia at Panama on Christmas day, and that sev eral members of the crew were perhaps fatally, or at least dangerously wound ed. The Columbia was on the way down the coast to Valparaiso from this port, and through the kindness of Captain Hughes, nearly every member of the crew, composed principally of Chileans and Pe ruvians, celebrated Christmas by Imbib ing freely of wine. Details of the fracas on board the big passenger steamer will not be available for some time, but people on the Argyll and on shore at Panama heard many shots fired, and saw the flash of many knives on the Columbia, and Captain Hughes is reported to have xuflbed along the decks armed with a gun, making efforts to quell the riot that had broken out. There Is no report of any deaths as a result of the fighting. Chilean Vessels Probably- Lost. SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 22. There Is lit tle doubt that several Chilean vessels, which sailed from Northern Coast lumber ports for South America, were lost at sea.

The Chilean bark Emma Louise, 107 days out from Fort Blakeley for Valparaiso, has not been re ported as having arrived, and the same Is true of the Chilean bark India, out 135 days from Blakeley for Valparaiso. The Lake Leman is out 141 days from What com for Valparaiso; the bark Royal Sov ereign Is out 191 days, from. Tacoma for Valparaiso, and the Peruvian bark Santa Rosa is out 136 days from Port Blakeley for Peyte, Peru. An ordinary passage for any of the vessels named would be 60 to 75 days.

Ten Men. in Two -Small Dangeons, Where They Mutst Stay Fifteen Days. TACOMA. Jan. 22. The 11 convicts who escaped from the Federal prison on Mc Neil's Island Sunday, only to be recap tured, the last four late last night, are now paying dearly for the freedom they enjoyed. They, are con fined In two small dungeons, six by eight feet, five men In each. One man, Car roll, Is too sick to be placed in a dungeon. The convldts who were captured yester day morning and who were then almost famished, were not fed until last night, when they each received one slice of bread and cup of water. They got nothing more to eat until tonight, and will be kept In the dungeons for at least 15 days. The black holes contain no bed ding, and are but six feet hleh. While the punishment given the convicts who attempted to escape Is extreme, the prison authorities consider it necessary as a warning to the other convicts. The prison Is not a strong one, and the main, security is the fact that convicts, after escaping, can leave the Island only with the greatest difficulty. Salt Against Prominent Men. OLYMPIA, Jan. 22.

Romney, of the Pacific Lumber Company, again took the witness stand. He testified that In several con versations with Hay he told him to mark "paid" across the face of tho note Mor tenson owed the ccoipapy when Mortenson paid it.

Richardson, the Savannah merchant, was brought in frequently today at the trial of Mrs. Addle L. Richardson, widow of the dead man. Judge Burnes decided an important point for the state by ad mitting evidence that might tend to show Mrs. Richardson's relations with Fife, which the defense had yesterday sought to keep out, and R. A. Morris testified to seeing the couple together on different occasions. The most important witness of the day was Bruce Stanton, a clerk In the Flfe Richardson store, who told of a quarrel "between Richardson and Fife In the pres ence of the witness and Mrs. Richardson, when all four were walking toward the Richardson home. "Richardson." said the witness, "who had been cursing Fire, turned on him finally, and told him he would have to keep away from Mrs. Rich ardson. Fife told him to shut up his mouth, or he would shut It up for him. Richardson and Fife started toward each other, and I told Richardson to go into the house." Charles Glasner, also a clerk In tho store, was shown a revolver found flvo blocks from the scene of the murder. It looked like Fife's revolver, he said, but he was not sure.
