FERXS AXD TRACEY CONFIDENT.
llotli Men Have Much at Stnlic In the
Co in 1 1) ;c Content.
Both Ferns and Tracey expect to win
the boxing contest which takes place at
the Exposition building next Thursday
evening. Both men arc training faith
fully and arc in perfect condition. Mar
tin Denny, the Australian lightweight,
who is training Tracey. bays it would
not surprise him if the Australian beat
Ferns as easily as AValeott did. Tracey
is stronger, fatter and cleverer than ever
before, and he has a linlshing punch in
either hand. This will be the first time
Tracey has been pitted against a first
class man of his own weight since com
ing to this country, and he feels confi
dent that he will get the long end of the
money before lo rounds of fighting.
His reputation is at stake, as well as a
promised go with AValeott.
Ferns has changed his training hours
from afternoon to evening, as he thinks
it quite an advantage to have his eyes
accustomed to artificial light. He is
overflowing with confidence, and says:
"I am out to win this go, and will do It
In the shortest time possible in fact. I
must, as I have more at stake than the
sporting public is aware of. "When 1
made the match with Tommy Ryan,
which Is to take place in Kansas City
in xt month, we both put up an appcar
anee forfeit of $."500, and the articles stip
ulate that, should either of us lose a
dclsion before the date set, the forfeit
ihall be paid to the other, and the match
declared off. I must and will beat Tracey.
M future as a lighter depends on it."

President SimldiiiK Resigns.
NEW YORK, Feb. 20. A. G. Spalding
announced tonight that he had. pending a
meeting of the Brooklyn, Philadelphia.
Pittsburg and Chicago baseball clubs, to
be held Saturday In Pittsburg, tender his
resignation as president of the National
League. He says it was because of a re
quest from these four clubs that he took
the stand which has brought the affairs
of the National League Into the courts,
and that as the playing season Is ap
proaching and there are many financial
conditions to be confronted, he does not
wish further to embairass them unless
they are willing to abide by his policy and
continue, if necessary, with a four-club
circuit. Therefore, he says. It is for the
Brooklyn. Philadelphia, Pittsburg and
Chicago clubs to meet Saturday and as
sume the responsibility and stand before
tho public in favor of continuing the fight,
or to surrender to the opposition and ac
cept whatever terms may be handed to
them.

of Wisconsin and the University of Cali
fornia have accepted invitations and will
have relay teams here for the first time.
Wisconsin ha. entered a quartet in the
four-mile college championship, and from

hard race. They average 4 minutes and
35 seconds to the mile. Against- them
Pennsylvania and Yale will have the
strongest teams, the Quakers averaging
4:40. A. C. Plaw, California's weight man,

GRAIN SHIPS TO DATE, 100
CROP OF 15)01 HANDLED AT RECORD-BREAKING
RATE.
British Ship St, MIrron Clears AVItU
110,3!);: Bushels Heavy Move
ment Early.
The British ship St. MirroiT completed
her cargo yesterday, and will clear today
for Queenstown or Falmouth for orders.
She was dispatched by Balfour, Gu...ie
& Co., and carries 119.152 bushels of wheat.
The St. Mirren was loaded in Portland in
May, lfOO. by the Portland Grain Company,
and at that time carried 119,182 bushels
of wheat, or 10 bushels less than she now
has aboard. It Is something remarkable
for a vessel to carry two cargoes of so
nearly the same proportions. The St.
Mirren brinps the fleet for the se:ison to
date up to mi even 100 vessels, which Is
the largest fleet that has ever cleared from
this port in a similar length of time. Com
pared with the same period in other sea
sons the figures are as follows:
Season Ships.
1&00-01 S4
1SJ-S-A1 G6
lSIiS-itft 79
17-!S 90
1SS-S7 76
1S95-96 57
lSl-05 72
From present indications the numerical
strength of this season's fleet will hardly
DR. C. F.
reach that of the season of 1S97-9S. which
was a record-breaker. The fact that wo
nre now 10 ships ahead of the fieet of that
year is due to an unusually heavy move
ment of wheat mueli earlier in the season
than was the case In 1S97. The wheat crop
of Oregon for 1501 was much smaller than
that of 1S37, and. aside from loading tho
ships already under charter to arrive, and
an occasional extra one which may be
picked up, the active business of the sea
son ls about over. The final disposal of
about 10,000,000 bushels which is carried
under the hat of an alleged crop expert
has not been decided on. It can bo taken
care of without adding to tho grain fleet,
however.
RIG SALMON FLEET.
31 Ships, Carrying GTO.IMT Cases of
Salmon Sail From IlrItlnU Colujubln.
The British ship Bankburn. which satied
from Victoria for Europe Tuesday, ls the
last ship of the largest salmon fieet that
ever sallenl from British Columbia. This
fleet consists of 11 vessels, carrying 679.247
ciscs of salmon, valued at S2.71C.9SS. The
first ship of the fleet, the Largo Law.
arrived out at Liverpool one day before
the Bankburn, the tailender, sailed from
Victoria. The fleet and the number of

the value of the salmon shipped to Eng-.
land this year to over $3,v00.000.
SAVED THE PYRENEES.
Fine British Bark Ii AkiiIii Afloat
"Will Re Taken to San Francisco.
Another fine four-masted bark will prob
ably sneak in under the American flag by
the only means po.-sible under the present
antiquated navigation laws. The British
bark Pyrenees, which was run ashore at
(Manga Reva, CO) miles southeast of Ta
hiti, In December. 1900. has been floated
and will be taken to Tahiti for temporary
repairs, and thence to San Francisco for
permanent repairs, which will entitle her
to Ame-rican registry. The Pyrenees was
loaded at Tacoma by Kerr, Gilford & Co.,
of this city, and carried a cargo of barley
and wheat. Fire was discovered in the
hold when the vessel was several hundred
miles off PItcairn Island, and she was
headed for that spot under full sail.
Arriving at Pitcalrn, however, the break
ers made it impossible to run the ship
ashore, and under the pilotage of McCoy,
Governor of PItcairn, the Pyrenees was
sailed to the lagoon on Manga Reva,
though the decks were warping and Cap
tain Bryce and his men momentarily ex-
Br HMi
i
pected the ship to blow up. But the
Pyrenees was successfully beached, and
all hands soon afterward left In a schooner
for Paieete. coming thence to San Fran
cisco in the steamer Australia.
The wreck was sold at a very low figure,
and Captains Porter and Thayer, of San
Franclbco, were given charge of the work
of saving the craft, and have been very
successful.
Abandoned Laura Pike Again Seen.
SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 20. The aban
doned schooner Laura Pike, In the path
of navigation off the northern coast, is
again reported. The steamer Victoria,
from British Columbia, passed the derelict
in latitude 43 degrees 54 minutes north,
longitude 124 degrees, 54 minutes west, or
about CO miles north of Cape Blanco. The
schooner was awash, with her foremast
and jlbboom standing, but her mainmast
hanging over the side.
The Victoria had a hard trip coming
down, and was over three days late In ar
riving. Gale after gale was experienced,
and the collier was frequently swept by
heavy seas, which, however, did no dam
age beyond smashing a lifeboat. Some
few miles north of the point where the
abandoned schooner was seen the Vic
toria sishted a lot of spars and planking
evidently the deckload of some vessel.

GOOD FOR THE PEOPLE
VAN SANTS VIEW OF FEDERAL AC
TION AGAINST MERGER.
Attorney-General Douglas Expresses
Opinion of Proposed Movement
New York Bjmkers Surprised.
ST. PAUL. Feb. 20. Governor Van Sant
this afternoon, In an interview with a
representative of the Associated Press
regarding the Federal suit against the
Northern Securities Company, said:
"We expected this action by the Attorney-General
of the United States would"
be taken. He has never intimated that he
could not or would not proceed against
the Northern Securities Company, but. on
the contrary, says he would examine the
facts and if the law was being violated
he would proceed.
"When Attorney-General Douglas. Mr.
Munn and General Wilson were first in
Washington they had a long conference
with Attorney-General Knox and Attorney-General
Douglas, and Mr. Munn re
mained over after the argument for fur
ther conference with him to arrange for
submitting testimony to him.
"Of course, we are delighted with tills
decision, and the people of this state and
the Northwest can rest assured that theii
rights will be protected, and the law vin
dicated." Attorney-General Douglas said totlay:
"Both tho Governor and myself arc
elated over the dictum of President Roose
velt and Attorney-General Knox in taking
up the fight on the merger. It will not
interfere in the least with our suit. It
will be on broader and different lines.
There is another advantage. The Federal
authorities have much broader jurisdic
tion than we have In this state. We were
limited to parties other than citizens of
Minnesota. We could not proceed under
the Sherman law, either.
"Tho Federal authorities have the
widest jurisdiction. They can bring in
the Northern Securities Company, Messrs.
Hill, Morgan and everybody elso con
nected In any way with the merger. It is
a great thing for the state that the Fed
eral authorities have taken up the mer
ger." NEW YORIC BANKERS SURPRISED.
Sa- a Loner Lenl Battle Is Now In
SiKht.
NEW YORK, Feb. 20. Bankers of this
city identified with the formation of the
Northern Securities Company were
greatly surprised to learn, and at first re
fused to believe, that Attorney-General
Knox is preparing a case against the
company. They pointed out that a deci
sion on a cognate case from the Supreme
Court of the United States is expected
on Monday next. They were unable to
understand why notice of nnother action
should be given pending this decision.
It is stated to be the intention of both
the Hill-Morgan and Kuhn-Loeb-IIarri-man
syndicates to fight the case out to
the end. All of the bankers who were
seen expressed themselves as confident of
the ultimate result. A long legal battle
Is promised, but it is understood that
no matter what the decision may be, the
dominating Idea which brought the North
ern Securities Company into life will be
substantially maintained. A contingency
such as has arisen, authorities said, was
foreseen by the legal talent when the last
details were arranged some months ago,
and provision ls made for the carrying
out of the community of ownership Idea.
Charles Steele, a member of the firm of
J. P. Morgan & Co., was in conference
with Mr. Morgan at his residence as to
the effect of the action of Attorney-General
Knox.
"This opinion came as a great surprise
to all of us," he said. "No such action
was expected, and there has been an ab
solute quiet since the argument of the
case of the State of Minnesota before the
Supreme Court of the United States.
After this bill In equity, as suggested by
Attorney-General Knox, has been filed,
we will be prepared to speak of our line
of defense. At present we are wholly in
tho dark, but I will say that a long legal
battle will ensue.
"We had not heard that President
Roosevelt had asked for the opinion of
the Attorney-General in the matter, and
although we have heard of It from sev
eral sources In the last few hours, I am
inclined to doubt the report."
DOCKET NOT YET TAKEN UP.
Frelirht Burenu Changes Quarters
Visit to Indravelll Business Today.
Not much progress was made by the
Transcontinental Freight Bureau yester
day. A session an hour long was held
in the morning, at which A. C. Rulof
son, of San Francisco, representative of
the Pacific Coast Metal & Hardware
Association, appeared before the bureau
and made a statement bearing on the ad
visability of adjusting the freight tariff
on iron on a fairer basis. E. H.
Horton, also of San Francisco, set forth
the need for a revision of freight charges
on harnesses and saddles. He appeared
for the Pacific Coast wholesale saddlers,
who are now in convention here. A
shipper of slot machines asketl for a re
duction in the rates now charged for
those articles. All these were given re
spectful hearing, and their arguments
were taken under consideration.
Then some of the traffic men com
plained that they did not have room
enough In the small parlors where they
were located, and a committee, consist
ing of Messrs. Fulton, Miller and Coman,
the local delegates In the meeting, was
appointed to find larger quarters for hold
ing the sessions of the bureau. They
hunted over the city for an hour with
out being able to get a more tlesirable
place, and then Manager Bowers came
forward with the offer to fit up his main
parlor for the business sessions of the
bureau. That was rather better than
hnd been expected, and It was unhesi
tatingly accepted. So, upon assembling
after noon, adjournment was taken Im
mediately to enable the change of quar
ters to be made, and, inasmuch as the
bureau had agreed to visit the Oriental
liner Indravelll at 4 o'clock, it was
deemed unwise to attempt to tlo any
more business before this morning.
Assistant General Freight Agent Ful
ton, of the Northern Pacific, and Assist
ant General Freight Agent Coman. of the
O. R. & N escorted the visiting tralilc
men to the steamship, and Captain Cra
ven proved a charming host to the rail
road men. The vessel was leisurely ex
amined, the recent mishap to her cargo
was pointed out and explained, and the
land lubbers were soon convinced that
they did not know everything about traf
fic matters. The visitors were made to
understand that marine refreshments are
In no wise Inferior to those provided on
land.
It ls announced again that the work
of considering the docket item by item
will be taken up this morning. The bu
reau has by formal vote agreed to pro
ceed in that manner. The number of
items on the docket Is between COO and
TOO. but some of them have lost life
by lapse of time, and some are bound
In bunches and can be disposed of with
considerable rapidity. Others are bound
to bring out warm discussion, but this
will be veiled from the public by the
mantle of secrecy that envelops the pro
ceedings of the bureau.
Arrangements have been made for the
Sunday excursion up the Columbia River
on the O. R. & N. steamer Harvest
Queen. In addition to the visiting traf
fic officials and their families and friends.
Invitation has been extended to the gen
eral agents of the various railroads rep
resented In Portland and their families.
About 150 people are expected to board
the steamer in Portland at 9 o'clock Sun
day morning. A generous luncheon will
be provided on board. Landing will be
made a little distance above Bonneville,
and after a short stay there, the length
depending somewhat on the state of the J

COMAN MAY GO UP A STEP.
One Solntlon of the Problem of
Portland Tralilc OlHelnls.
A number of the railroad men have fig
ured out a new programme to succeed the
retirement of Mr. Campbell from the
office of traffic manager of the O. R. &
N. Co. Instead of leaving the two vacan
cies together general freight agent and
traffic manager It is regarded as a prob
able move that Assistant General Freight
Agent Coman will be promoted to general
freight agent, thus opening the way to
promotion of Traveling Freight Agent
MacCorquodale, General Agent Robert
Burns, of Walla Walla, and General
Agent H. M. Adams, of Spokane. That
would partly close the gap in the O. R.
& N. official roster, and it would give the
traffic tlepartmcnt a good working force.
There would still be room for consolida
tion with the Oregon & California, when
that move should be deemed expedient.
Everybody who could be possibly affected
by the readjustment feels more or less
unsettled, and will be glad when the va
cancies shall be filled.
There is not the slightest doubt ex
pressed in railroad circles that Mr. Camp
bell has been selected for assistant traffic
director of the Harriman lines. Some of
the traffic officials attending the trans
continental freight bureau say they have
had messages from Chicago confirming
the report printed In The Oregonlan. It
Is said that the appointment will prob
ably take effect about March 1. Whether
the reorganization of the Portland staff
will be announced at the same time the
advancement of Mr. Campbell is made
known is a matter of anxious speculation
among those likely to be affected by it.
Santa Fe and Mexican Central.
SANTA BARBARA, Cal.. Feb. 20. E.
P. Ripley, president of the Santa Fe sys
tem, is in Santa Barbara, to spend the
Winter, accompanied by his family. When
asked regarding rumored negotiations for
the purchase of the Mexican Central road
by the Santa Fe, he said:
"The Santa Fe not only has not opened
negot'ations for the purchase of the Mexi
can line, but It has no desire to get below
the American border. We already have
a big system in operation in the United
States, and it will be the policy of the
company to improve the road it now has."
He added that It was not the present in
tention of his company to parallel the
Southern Pacific line to San Francisco,
and said that no immediate extensions of
the road in Southern California were con
templated. Cheap Rates by the Santa Fe.
TOPEKA, Kan., Feb. 20. Very cheap
passenger rates to the Pacific Coast are
likely to be the rule during the coming
Spring and Summer. The Santa Fe road
announced today that every day during
March and April that road would sell
colonist tickets from points in Kansas and
Oklamoha and Colorado to common points
In California for J25. A rate of $33 from
Chicago to the Pacific Coast will also be
In effect. These rates are made to meet
the cut of the northern lines.
