Grnln Ships Clenrcd Thin Season.
All bids for the repairs to the French
hark Asle were rejected yesterday, and
the unlucky ship Is no nearer to being
ready for buMnes than she was when
she capsized, about six weeks ago. Henry
Hewett, Lloyd's agent, was averse to dis
cussing the matter yesterday, any fur
ther than to state that somo of the bids
were unsatisfactory to the underwriters,
and some were unsatisfactory to the rep
resentatives of the owners. "While no def
inite understanding has been reached, It
Is probable that a new set of bldy will be
called for, and the work may go to Se
attle or Victoria', where ship repairs are
liandied by different methods from those
followed on the Portland water front.
There are come very ugly rumors afloat
regarding the Asle job, and If the work of
this kind continues, the underwriters will
eonn have this port on the blacklist.
The first pet of bids for the Asie were
opened nearly a month ago. Some of
These bids wre under $2.'i.0r'0, but, after
considerable cabling back and forth be
tween Portland and France. It was dis
covered that some eggs and rum which
3iad been destroyed when the vessel cap
sized had been omitted from the specifica
tions of the damages caused. On the
strength of this heavy loss, that was not
discovered in time, the second set of bids
was asked for. Great remuneration must
have been expected for replacing the eggs
and rum, for pome of the bidders who
were well under ?23,(KK) on the first bid
raided their figures to .(O. Even at
the rate charged for egg Hips anu rum
omelettes at the
he Waldorf-Astoria, this ox-
tra I2Q.V00 was regarded as excessive, and
It Is reported that the agent of the un
derwriters regarded with favor the bid
of R. Mcintosh, who agreed to do the
work according- to specifications for J2S.O00.
Thero was no question over the responsi
bility of Mcintosh, as he agreed to fur
nish a satisfactory bond, and one of the
Jta.CJ bidders offered to do the work for
lilm for several thousand dollars less than
the contract price of $28,000. This bid did
aiot meet the approval of the owners, how
ever, and after backing and filling since
last Wednesday, it was announced yes
terday that all bids would be rejected.
As underwriters, Lloyds have never yet
nwarded contracts for repairs to the high
est bidders, and if the work on the Asle
cannot be performed In this city at u
reasonable figure, they will probably eend
It to another port.
MORE DISENGAGED TOXXAGE.
British Ship Conway Arrives After
Good I'nuNiiKc Front Shanghai.
Another victim of misplaced confidence,
the British ship Conway, came in from
the Orient yesterday looking for busi
ness. Her owners had heard of that o3.-(oOS-bushel
crop of what In the Pacific
Northwest, and supposed that all of it
was wheat and not "hot air." There was
enough tonnage provided for the actual
wheat, and. accordingly, when the Con
way reached port she found no business
awaiting her. and has joined the accumu
lating fleet of disengaged ships, which is
rapidly reaching formidable proportions.
The Conway made a fair passage of 40
days from" Shanghai. Ordinarily this
would not be considered very good time,
but in view of the slow passages that are
being made hy a number of ships. It is a
Aery creditable performance. There was
a time after the Conway sailed from the
Orient when she could have secured 30
sh'.lltnsrs. but rates have since declined
until 5 shillings would be about all that
would be risked for her, and If she waits
too long she may be obliged to take less
money.
There are still about a dozen ships due
at this iort, and nearly a many on Puget
Sound. Out of the two fleets, there are
about a dozen shljis that will lose their
charters by failure to reach port by the
nd of February, and not one of the
dozen was chartered at a rate low enough
to warrant her being taken up. Puget
Sound is not doing much better than
Portland in the way of getting her over
due fleet In out of the wet. The British
ship Inverkfp was reported off Cape Flat
tery over two weeks ago. and again a
week ago, the last time GO miles west--.uthwest
of the cape, and at a late hour
lst evening had not yet arrived In.
THE ORIENTAL L1XERS.
Thyra Reaches Port After a Itonxh
Trip I ml rn veil l DlschnrKrlnp:.
The Norwegian steimshlp Thyra. which
has carried almost as many Oriental car
goes out of Portland as the regular liners
in that trade, arrived in at Astoria yes
terday morning, after a four-day trip from
San Francico. The big freighter was in
light ballast trim, and was blown around
the surface of the ocean like a big balloon.
The Thyra comes on a special mission
this time, having been chaxtered by the
Portland & Asiatic Steamship Company
to take a cargo of flour and general mer
chandise to the Orient, In order to re
lieve the pressure caused by the loss of
one steamer, and the disabling of two
others. The Thyra is all ready for out
iard cargo, and will commence loading
at once.
The regular liner Indravelll moved Into
Slontgomery dock yesterday and com
menced discharging her cargo, in order
that the extent of the damage can be as

will probably be reloaded in time to get

vessel is of small consequence, and the
cargo that was coming out of the lower
hold vesterday was apparently uninjured.

Portland Grnln Fleet Sliovrs Satis
factory Gnln Over Lnst Season.
The British ship Ardnamurchan finished
loading at the elevator dock last eVnlng
and will clear today for Queenstown or
Falmouth for orders. The Ardnamurchan
makes a total of S9 ships that have
cleared from Portland with grain since the
opening of the present season. For the
same period last season, but SO vessel?
cleared. This fleet of nearly 100 ships is.
exclusive of the flour steamers which
have sailed for the Orient, While Puget
Sound will ship more wheat than ever be
fore, and may distance San Francisco,
Portland is still holding the lead of all
Pacltlc Coast ports, and will probably
continue to do so until the end of the
season.
San Francisco was giving Portland a
pretty tight race up to February 1, but
ivas "trailing nevertheless, for the total
wheat shipments from the California ports
for-the first seven months of the cereal
year were but 9.275.722 bushels, compared
with 9,292.372 bushels of wheat from Port
land, and 7,o3?.3Sl bushels from Tacoms.
and Seattle. For the same period last
year, Portland shipments were 7.CCC.95
bushels, compared with 7.021.640 bushels
from San Francisco and C.033,191 busnels
from Puget Sound.

PORT TOWNSEND, WTash., Feb. 17.
As a result of the recent storm some ves
sel has met with a mishap off Cape Flat
tery, according to the report brought
here by the steamship Tampico, from
iTonoluiu. Twenty miles off Umatilla
Beef the Tampico passed through a. large
amount of wreckage, consisting of lum
ber and laths. The captain of the Tampi
co thinks some vessel lost her en
tire deck load. The wreckage had the
appearance of being In the water only
a short time.
The Tampico had a very stormy voy
ago from Honolulu, having encountered
storms until this port was reached. She
sighted but one vessel on the entire voy
age, and that was a schooner SO miles
southwest of Umatilla Reef.
The fleet of vessels which was recent
ly driven back to sea from the entrance
of the Straits has not been able to re
turn. The storm did considerable dam

SCHOOL ROOKS LIBELED.
American Renders Reprinted. In Jn
pnn to Re Destroyed.
Assistant United States Attorney E.
Mays yesterday filed a libel in the United
States Court against 21S school books
first, second and third readers, which
were imported from Japan. On examina
tion by the customs olficials it was found
that the books are copies of Barnes' In
ternational readers, printed in Japan, in
violation of the copyright law, and the
suit is brought against them to have
them condemned and destroyed.
Tho type from which the books were
printed was without doubt set up in
Japan, as a number of typographical er
rors are found in them, which do not
exist In the originals. The books were
consigned to M. Furaya, a Japanese who
has a store on North Fourth street, and
keeps books printed In Japanese and
English for the convenience of his coun
trymen. When the Collector of Customs
refused to turn the books libeled over
to him, he wiped his hands of the mat
ter, and takes no further Interest In them.
They have been lying at the Appraiser's
ofllce for nearly a year, and will probably
soon be condemned and burned. A lot of
similar books brought here about two
years ago in violation of the copyright
act were condemned and burned.

BOARD OF TRADE INVESTIGATES

Xo Postnl'Mntter Goes Front Port
land, Although Line of Steamers
Runs to Ilon Konp.
The Board of Trade is Investigating the
Government transport and mall service
with the Philippines. It has collected
considerable information regarding Port
land's trans-Pacific relations. A letter
has been received from H. C. Payne.
Postmaster-General, describing the method
by which Government mail is forwarded to
Manila. Mail is sent from San Fran
cisco and from Tacoma and Seattle. When
It goes from the latter two ports it has
to be transferred at Hong Kong. Port
land has the same shipping facilities to
Hong Kong as has Tacoma and Seattle,
yet the trans-Pacific line from this city
Is not recognized by the Postal Depart
ment. The Board of Trade will Investigate this
matter thoroughly. If the promised di
rect line to Manila from San Francisco
Is established It Is probable that all mall
for Manila will go through San Fran
cisco. The ships of the new line will
make the voyage in 20 days. The letter
from the Postmaster-General Is as fol
lows: Malls for the Philippines are dispatched by
the regular lines qf steamers sailing- from San
Francisco, Tacoma and Seattle for Hong Kong-,
whence they are forwarded to Manila by
steamers sailing from Honp Konp for Manila.
In addition to the dispatches by the regular
mall steamers, malls for the Philippines are
dispatched also hy each Army transport sail
ins from San Francisco for Manila, these sail
ings occurring about twice a month, but at
irregular intervals.
This department has no formal contracts
for the conveyance of malls across the Pa
cltlc. Each mall Is weighed before Its dis
patch, and the conveying steamers are com
pensated for their services at the following
rates:
Steamers of United States register are al
lowed $1 00 a pound for letters and post cards,
and S cents a pound for other articles and
foreign steamer? are allowed 6 franca j
kilogram (about 44 cents a pound) for Icr
ters and pot cards, and 50 centimes (about
45 cents a pound) for other articles: calcu
lated on the net weights of the malls con
veyed. Secretary Moore, of the Board of Trade,
has 'delegated Ross Nicholas to repre
sent Portland's needs. at New York and
