FLEET OF TWENTY-TWO SHIPS Eiportu Prom OrcKnn, IVnshlncton and Idaho for "en.soii to Date 22,000,000 IluMicls Lively Liuiilicr Trade. The largest grain fleet that ever cleared from a North Pacific port in the month of January was completed yesterday when the British ship Irby cleared for Queens town or Falmouth for orders with S4.M5 bushels of wheat, valued at $55,130. This big fleet numbers 22 vessels, carrying a total of 2.109,347 bushels of wheat and 27,424 barrels of flour. It is not only the largest January fleet that ever left here, but the cargoes average up lnrger than usual, the 21 wheat ships averaged over 100,000 bushels each, and the flour ship carried flour equivalent to about 115,000 bushels of wheat. Compared with last year the showing is a remarkable one, the ehlpments for the month just closed being nearly 1,000,000 busbels greater than those of January, 100L The month was also a record-breaker for Puget Sound, but the showing made by Tacoma and Seattle Is less favorable than that of Portland. In January, 1901, shipments from the two Puget Sound cities were 1.52S.225 bushels, while, for the month closing yesterday they were 1.CS5.702 bushels, a much smaller relative gain than was shown by Port land, although a number of ships were diverted from Portland to Puget Sound ports during the month. Portland's flour shipments were cut down to what will probably be the mini mum for the year, as the regular Ori ental steamer was delayed so long that her big flour cargo will not figure with the January export. Puget Sound flour exports were enormous, reaching a total of 145.SS9 barrels, compared with 96.2S4 barrels one year ago. Included In these shipments are one European and one At rlcan flour cargo. While the North Pa cific ports have individually beat the month's record In November and De cember in former years, the .aggregate shipments of the three ports Portland, Seattle and Tacoma are in excels ot those of any previous month in the his tory of the North Pacific grain trade. They reached a grand total (flour in cluded) of 4.7S9.54C bushels of wheat, an amount which in the early days of the grain trade, would have loaded 100 ships of the size of those which came here a generation ago. The January shipments have swelled the total from the North west for the season to date to over 22.GO0, 000 bushels. February shipments will not reach such enormous totals, but Portland will turn off wheat and flour cargoes enough to again reach the 2,O00,Of0-bushel mark, and the shipments from Puget Sound will be about the same. This will prove a record breaking season for Oregon, "Washington and Idaho, and. In spite of the handicap of only a medium crop in Portland terri tory, the Oregon metropolis Is keeping good her record to date- MISSKO THEIR CHARTERS. Portland Exporter $18,000 Abend by Ncn-Arrlvnl of Three Ships. There was some smiling faces last night among the men who charter ships, for "just as the sun went down" the cancel ling date expired on at least three high priced ships The Inchcape Rock was one that will cause more remorse for the own ers than any of the others, as. she was chartered at 40 shillings, and rates have now declined to about 27s Cd, with the bottom not yet showing through the gloom. The Inchcape Rock brings a cargo from Antwerp, and called at Port Ios Angeles, where a portion of it was dis charged. She made a long passage out to the California port, and was unable to leave thero until January 17. Rates had declined to 20 shillings by that time, and the owners stood to lose about JGO00 if she failed to reach the Columbia River by the end of the month. Instead of making sure of it by towing up, the vessel was started out under sail, and when her time ex pired last night she was loser at least $7500 by the decline in freights. The Earl Cadogan was in much the same predicament, the only difference In the two cases being that the latter ves sel's rate was 3Ss 9d. She sailed from Port Los Angeles a day later than the Inchcape Rock, and her owners can pocket a loss of about SG000 and look as pleasant as they can under the circumstances. The third unlucky ship is the French bark Les Adelphes, which is coming from Madagascar. This vessel. In order to get in as much bounty-earning mileage as possible, sailed around by way of Hobart, and made such a long passage up from the Antipodes that she lost her chgrter. Being a small craft, her loss through the decline In rates will not exceed $4500, making a total of S1S.OO0, which will remain In Ore gon, Instead of going abroad to "gay Parec" and "dear old Lunnon." ARE POOLED OX HATES. Trans-Atlnntlc Lines Aktcc on a Minimum Tar lit. NEW YORK. Jan. 31. The Commercial Advertiser says today: An agreement binding the trans-Atlantic lines plying between this country and England to adopt a uniform minimum freight rate on grain and provisions, was signed today by the representatives ol the various steamship lines interested. The freight rates are increased on all grain and provisions leaving this country for Liverpool and London. The minimum rate on grain Is fixed at l penny per bushels ot CO pounds, and the minimum rate on provisions at 10 shillings per ton of 2240 pounds, increasing the grain rate S3 1-3 per cent and the provision rate 10 per cent. No maximum rate has been fixed. The lines Included in the agreement at the "White Star, Cunard. Atlantic Trans port, International Navigation, Ley land. Dominion. Philadelphia, Lamport and Holt Line. "WilMin Line, Chesapeake &. Ohio and Virginia Line, from Norfolk. At the office of the Chesapeake & Ohio Steam ship Company it was said that the lines to Manchester. Hull and other English ports were also In the agreement. It was learned that the passenger rates tinder discussion contemplate a minimum of $G0 for "Winter travel. The same lines that have signed the freight agreement will, it is understood, sign the passenger rate agreement. Negotiations over the passenger rates arc in progress with the Continental lines. LOST DCCK-LOAI) IJURI.VG STORM. VrecUnpre Slgrhteil Iiy OIcmcii Makes Certain of .Mishap. PORT TOWNSEND. "Wash., Jan. 31. The schooner William Olesen, after a tempestuous voyage of 27 days from San Pedro, arrived here today. From the time of sailing until she reached here, one storm after another was encountered. When 100 miles southwest of Cape Flat tery she sighted considerable wreckage, consisting principally of big timbers, 12x12, and 50 feet long, which indicates that some lumber carrier had lost her deck-load during the gale of January 24. 1901-02 GRAIN FLEET JULY.

Captain Rorvick reports the storm the most severe he has en countered for years. Neiv Quarantine Regulation)). New regulations relative to vessels ar riving frdm infected ports have been re ceived from Washington by Dr. M. H. Foster, in charge of the Puget Sound Quarantine District. Heretofore, vessels sailing from such ports were not allowed to enter any port of the United States until 15 days from the time of sailing had expired, but under the new regula tions the 15-day limit has been reduced to 10 days. LUMBER TRADE ACTIVE. Tiro Decp-AVater ShlpM and Numer ous Coaster to Load at Portland. The British ship Star of Germany, which was reported yesterday as under charter for wheat loading at this port, will not take wheat, but has been engaged by the Eastern Lumber Company to. load at this port for the Orient. The same firm will dso supply the cargo for the British stuh Fulwood, which has been chartered to make a trip to the west coast of South America. These vessels, together with the steamer Likme, running regularly In the employ of this mill, and a number of sailing vesels In the coasting trade, will make the plants of the Eastern and the Western Lumber Companies very busy places for the next few weeks. The Star of Germany comes from Taltal, and is nearly 90 days -out "from that port. The schooner Compeer is loading at the mill now. The lumber business seems to be quite active all along the river. The Orient left up from Astoria yesterday afternoon to load at Portland and the ChehalLs sailed from Knappton In the afternoon for San Francisco. Captain Simpson seems to time the arrival and departure of his ves sels quite accurately, for while the Che halls was crossing out from his mill at Knappton, the barkentlnc Owega was crossing in. . MuMt Pay Fee of State. SEATTLE. Jan. 3L Assistant Attorney General Dalton, of this state, has decided that all vessels must pay the fees of the state quarantine officials who inspect tne ships. This decision was occasioned by the refusal of some of the ships entering Port Townsend to pay state fees, alleging that they had already been Inspected and passed by the Federal authorities. In his decision the State's Attorney quotes authority to show that the establishment of a Federal quarantine station in no way abrogated the legal duties of the state board, who must continue to inspect all vessels and callect the regular fee.

FRIEND OF THE MARKETS HEAVY SNOWFALL IMPROVES THE SPRING TRADE OUTLOOK. Improved WInfer-Wlient Crop Pros pects Cnnnc Price to Weaken Review of the AVeek. NEW YORK. Jan. 31. Bradstreefe to morrow will say: The future may be said this -week to have profited at the expense of the present. In oth er words, current weather conditions, such as heavy snowfalls east, West and North, tend to check buylnij except of purely j-easonable goods at retail, and to limit slightly the volume of demand In wholesale lines. On the other hand, the covering of the entire northern half of the country with a blanket of snow has bettered the condition of the Winter-sown crops, and the outlook for Spring trade, as a whole, has therefore ben greatly Improved.

Grip is an Infectious disease, which at tacks weak and strong alike, especially if the blood is sluggish, and generally Involv ing the mucous membrane of the air pas sages from the nostrils down to and in cluding the lungs. Serious complications are liable to develop in the course of the disease, as grip settles in the weakest part of the system, sometimes the kidneys, the brain, the stomach or the heart, resulting often in heart failure, but the most dread ed of all is when It settles in the lunss. Consumption is sure to follow and certain death if prompt action is not taken and Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey administered. CI The fatalities resulting from this disease within the past few years have sufficiently aroused doctors to the importance of giv ing the disease the closest investigation. Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is the only absolute cure for grip, Intluenza, asthma, bronchitis, catarrh, consumption, nnd all diseases of the throat and lungs; It pre vents complications, and bad after-effects that grip so often leaves in the system.

PREVENTED GRIP. Burlington. Vt., Jan. 21. 1501. Gentlemen: I consider it no more than your due to tell you that the use of your whiskey has prevented me from having the dread disease, the grip, this Winter. Everybody else on -my street has had it. I am not over and above healthy, and was afraid I might be taken down with the grip: but I took a moderate amount of Duffy's vMalt Whiskey each day and never enjoyed better health in my life. My wife has also derived much benefit from its use. Truly yours. A. A. YOUNG, Manager Young's Information Agency. CONSUMPTION CURED. Sirs: After being given up by several of our best physicians, having throat and partment of Agriculture in relation to the comlnc sale of the harvest of Connecticut-grown Sumatra tobacco, planted and raised in the Connecticut Valley last year, under the direction and supervision of the Department, to hold the sale in this city about May 1. The depart ment furnished the seed for this planting, gave full directions for the care of the crop, and sent a corps of 20 experts to Connecticut to supervise the growth, curing and packing of the to bacco. The actual expense of the grow ing and harvesting of the crop was borne by the growers, but the expert super vision, as well as the seed and directions, was supplied by the Department. Forty five acres of land was planted, the un derstanding being that the grower? should learn enough by Instruction and experi ment to enable them to carry on the in dustry on their own account and respon sibility hereafter. RECEIVER FOR DOWIIVS FACTORY. Result of Stevenson's Suit AKniii!t the Zionist. CHICAGO, Jan. 31. Judge Tullcy today ordered a receivership for the ZIon Lace Industries, and Monday will enter a. de cree appointing Elmer Washburn to the position of receiver, under a bond of $700,000. The court. In a long discussion of the case, which was Instituted by Samuel Stevenson, a brother-in-law of John Alex ander Dowie, declared that Dowie's church, the Christian Catholic Church, was a curious mixture of religion and business. He held that Stevenson had, through undue inlluenqe exerted by Dowie, head of the church, been led to turn over to Dowie practically every thing he had. and held that Steveson was entitled to at least 5100.000 from Dowie, on the lace Industries, which he said were practically the same thing. "Undue influence" was the chief topic discussed by the Judge in his decision. Dowie. he said, was unquestionably the superior of Stevenson, both In intellect and business ability. Dowie. he declared, was a religious zealot; Stevenson a fol lower. Stevenson, like others In Zion. followed Dowie blindly. They believed him the agent of the Almighty on earth, destined to build up cities of ZIon in every country in th'e world. None was more influenced by the teachings of "the reincarnated Elijah" than Stevenson. It was the province of the court, he said, to protect the weak against the strong. "The case needs more light." said the court. "I have studied it night and day for a month, yet on many points I am in the dark. There should be a further hear ing." An amended bill and an amended answer will be tiled by the parties to the suit Monday, when the decree appointing a re ceiver will be entered. Until then, by stip ulation, Dowie is prevented from disposing of any more preferred stock. Dov.-ie will pray for an appeal and Judge Tuley in timated that It would be granted, owing to the peculiar points of law Involved and the presence In the faco of factors on which no law seemed to bear. In discussing the bond for the receiver. Attorney Packard, acting for Dowie, de clared that if the receiver was for all of Dowie's property he should require a bond of $10,000,C0. The court explained that only the lace industries were at present involved, and 5700,000 was agreed on. The Dutcli Also Have Troubles. New York Times. "How about Achin?" is a question of extreme neatness, addressed, as it has been at last, by the badgered Britishers to the Dutchmen who are so horrified by recent events in South Africa, and who find, in the duration of Boer reslstence to the armies of a nation claiming vastly superior strength, excuse for contemptu ous denial of the claim. Dutch- rule in the East Indies has had Its merits, but it cannot, on the whole, be called a suc cess even moderately brilliant, and it has been marked by an obstinate adhesion to some of the grossest of economic and political follies. Colonial monopolies were long the ideals and objects of the Holland ers In the East, and they arc so still to no Inconsiderable extent, while the Brit ish can safjly Invite comparison between the condition to which they have elevated the natives of India and that in which the Dutch have left the natives of their great Islands. As for the Achinese, it must be admitted that it is rather harder to manufacture an artificial sympathy for them than It is to do it for the Boers, for they are a bloodthirsty as, well as a barbarous lot, but If a love of Independ Pure )U lung trouble, and pronounced a case of in curable consumption, my sister started the use of your Pure Malt Whiskey.

The Achinese fought the Portu guese, they fought the French, they fought tho English, and ever since they had an opportunity to do it .they have been fighting the Dutch. Defeated often, but never conquered, they are fighting still, and In all the years of strife they have never abandoned a single one of the ideas with which they started or become In the slightest degree reconciled to for eign domination.

Duffy Malt Whiskey Co., Rochester, N. Y. stopped foreign aggrandizement on tho American Continent. Always he was tho safety valve. He brought no new doc trine to the people; he had no theory oC government merely an ideal of duty for the hour. He founded no institution; in the political life of his time he con structed nothing. He will be remembered as one who every hour of the working day did what he thought was exactly right, and who never attempted to guide, the current of the public business, but always to see that the business wa3 wisely and honestly clone. He was a modest, industrious public servant, who lived so closely the motto, "A publlo otlice is a public trust," that people came to believe that he invented it which he did not. His name was never linked with, any policy, and no law on the statute books of hl3 country Is known as Cleve land's law. He tried to efface his per sonality, but it was so strong and dis tinctive and pungent with masculinity that it dominated everything he did In spite of his aversion to public politics. Yet he will never be a hero, because ho did not live a dramatic life. He must re main to posterity a disembodied spirit, an Ideal of honesty bearing a man's name the symbol of a National inspiration to ward public virtue. Rumored Deal in Copper. BUTTE. Mont.. Jan. 21.
