10 THE MORNING OKEGOKIAN, MOKDAY, MAY 5, 1902. NEW STEAMSHIP SERVICE TSURUGA LINE IX OPERATION BE TWEEN JAPAN AND SIBERIA. Will Run in Connection WitU the Chinese Eastern Fleet Siberian Railroad Notes. Commercial Agent R. T. Greener, in his report to the United States- Bureau of Commerce, from Vladivostok, under date of February 14, says: The Kotsu Mara, of 1300 gross tons and 922 register tons, -which arrived recently. Is the first ship of the new, or Tsuraga line, which receives a subsidy of $70,003 from the Japanese Government. A Japanese paper (the Tokyo Asaki) re ports that the Chinese Eastern Company (a Russian organization) has made' a con tract with the Japanese Government for the opening of this line, to last 10 years. Japan Is to pay the subsidy and the Chi nese Eastern Company Is to allow a cer tain number of Japanese to serve on its ships. Turuga Is a new port on the west coast of Japan, opened to foreigners two and a half years ago. The port has been great ly Improved for steamer accommodation. The time from Vladivostok to, Tsuruga is one and a half days, and to Osaka, the 'great manufacturing city, less than 24 hours. In connection with this line, the Chi nese Eastern fleet will have direct com 'anunicatlon with the United States. Whether Japanese ships or Russian are to sail to the United States is not quite clear. So far as the Chinese Eastern steamers are concerned, It Is said they cannot carry coal enough to cross the .Pacific. One of them (the Byrea) launched "in 1901, has just been examined and her boilers found useless. While Russia is making strong efforts to extend her commerce in the East, ev ery ship on the Chinese Eastern lines runs ,at a loss. Steamers come in with perhaps from IB to 300 tons of freight and from 10 to 20 passengers, but they must run ac cording to schedule to obtain the sub sidy. Under present tariff conditions, it is not likely that freight will come to .Vladivostok In largo quantities. The schedule of the Chinese Eastern service, which went into effect with the new year, is: 1. Shanghai. Nagasaki and "Vladlvostock; every 18 days. 2. Shanghai, Port Arthur. Chemulpo, Naga saki, Vladlvostock and return; two trips per month. 3. Shanghai, Port Arthur. Nagasaki. Fusan, Gensau, Vladlvostock and return; monthly Eenlce. 4. Cheefoo, Port Arthur, Dalny and return: every day except Friday from Chefoo and Dal ny; eery day except Wednesday from Port Arthur. 5. Port Arthur, Nagasaki, Vladlvostock and return, calling at Sudsuzne (Evstafia) Bay, St. Olga Bay, Port Korsor-Kofsky, Imperator ekala. Port Alexandrofsky and Be Kastrls Bay. 7. Vladlvostock to Petrapavlofsk and Beh rlng Sea, calling at port of the Sea of Ok hotsk. Kamchatka and Behrlng Sea. All contracts made hereafter for trans portation of merchandise from European Russia to Siberia and intermediate points, says Mr. Greener In a later report, will contain a clause that such goods must be conveyed on ships flying the Russian flag. This refers mainly to naval sup plies, but the Ministry of Finance has perfected arrangements for the shipping of Russian products to the far East. On May 1, 1902, the entire maritime coast, from Polset to the Bering Sea, will be closed to foreign ships by Imperial de cree. This will seriously affect the coal Interests of Sakhalin. At least 24 ships yearly are now necessary to bring the coal cargoes required for Vladivostok from. Sakhalin. Port Arthur harbor, whose entrance re sembles that of San Francisco, is very shallow on the Western side. A contract has been let fqr dredging this side, to al low vessels of larger tonnage to enter. A canal Is also to be cut across the penin sula, to give more direct access to Port Arthur. Among the Railroads. An official report of the Siberian Rail road gives the estimated additional cost necessary to complete the HnS as 70,000, 000 rubles ($36,050,000). The road will Issue loans on cargoes of grain at different stations along the line. An increase in passenger rates went into effect February 21, 1902," for distances over 3010 versts (1935 miles). For addition ab distances exceeding 70 versts (46.4 miles), -the increase per 1000 versts (663 miles) will be: First-class, 14.25 rubles (57 34); eecond-class, 8.55 rubles ($4 40); third-class, 5.70 Tubles ($2 93). This will make: Rubles. First-class fares . 320.75 $155 03 Second-class fares 212.75 100 50 Third-class fares 118.50 CI 02 On the western branch of the Chinese Eastern Railroad, between the stations Manchuria and Harbin, traffic is now open for second, third and fourth-class passengers. No first-class tickets are yet Issued. The Sungal bridge, 120 versts (79.5 miles) from Harbin, Is not officially opened, on account of the necessity of additional work, but trains cross without stop. Steamers are contracted for to ply be tween Harbin and Blagoveschensk, via the Sungari River and the Amur. This TlllKfurth"er facilitate communication be tween these cities and Vladivostok. Under date of March 26, 1902, Con6Ul General W. R. Holloway writes from St Petersburg: "The rolling stock on the Ddanchurian Railway has been largely In creased and improved, and there is a marked, increase in the passenger traffic The journey from Vladivostok to Irkutsk Is now accomplished in 15 days. The Krasnoyarsk-Irkutsk section will be com pleted during the coming Summer. It Is officially announced that the express be tween St. Petersburg and Vladivostok will be started by April 15, and the time will be reduced Irom 30-days to 15 days." BIG PLATE GLASS ARRIVES Sent Window Costing' $1000 to Be Pnt in JT. P. Ticket Office. The new plate-glass fronts of the North ern Pacific Railroad Company's ticket of fice are in the metallic casting as com pleted, and yesterday workmen were busy unpacking and setting up the handsome new mahogany counters, desks, etc., which are Intended to make this the most luxurious ticket office in the city. The iargfijbept plate of glass for the circular corner window is to be put in at once, and will complete the changes being made in the office. There will be no let-up to the anxiety of all concerned, until this large and costly bent plate is in posl tlon, for there la a risk connected with such windows which no one can figure out exactly. Often several plates are broken before one is successfully bent, and there fore the cost of two or three failures is added to that of the bent plate In order to keep even. The handsome bent plate In the corner of Olds, Wortman & King's Department Store has been the largest In the city heretofore. The first plate sent out for this corner was all in fragments when it arrived, and another had to be sent for, which, on arriving here, had cost some 5800. The new plate for the Northern Pa cific ticket office Is a little longer around the circumference than that In Olds. Wortman & King's corner, but the latter is higher, and contains about the same superficial area. The next largest bent plate Is that on the corner window of S. Rosenblatt & Co., corner of Third and Morrison, which cost about 5450, and has so far escaped injury. The only other bent plate In the city is in the corner win dow of H. B. Litt's store. It is a narrow one, only about four feet wide, and tills the space caused by the removal of the corner pier and connects the large plates in the fronts of the store. The first plate put In was broken some months ago. It Is supposed, by some one throwing a stone against it, and was replaced at a cost of about $150. The cost of the large plate going into the corner of the Northern Pacific ticket office was nearly ?1000. Should it be broken It would be cheaper to chalk out a bend in the atmosphere instead of replacing it, as this would iiot obstruct the view of the elegant interior flnlsh. and would furnish plenty of ventilation. POLITICS IN WASHINGTON Notes Taken fby an Observer nt Olympla. OUTMPIA, Wash., May 2. (To the Ed itor.) Although thl3 is an off year, all admit there has not been in the history cf the state the intense interest mani fested in the result of the coming Fall election there is at the present time. This is the more astonishing when we reflect that only one state officer is to be elected a Supreme Judge. Of course, the principal interest centers In the Leg islative ticket which must choose a United States Senator to succeed George Turner. After traveling through the state and conversing with the leading politicians struggling for supremacy In the coming Senatorial contest, I find each party san guine of success, all of which leads one to conclude that the coming Senatorial contest will be a lively one In this lively The big dredge of the Port of Portland Is in process of construction in South Portland, in the yards of the Portland Shipbulding Company. The dredge will be a huge one, the most powerful In the United States, and as efficient as any in the world. It will do three times as much work as the present Port of Portland dredge, In a given time. Many people have wondered at the queer-looking structure on the river bank. Its odd appearance comes from a steel truss, which resembles a bridge span. This truss runs length wise with the dredge. It Is of steel, and weighs 75 tons.v The dredge t111 be 225 feet long, 42 feet wide, 11 feet deep, and will draw about six feet of water. The total weight will be about 1400 tons. The hull will weigh about 700 tons. The machlnerywill.be put on board after the hull is launched. The total cost will be about $175,000, and everything- must be complete by September 1 or the contractors will be subject to penalties which range from $25 to $150 a day and aggregate $500 a dayj The dredge will have two spuds at the stem, each 36 Inches In diameter and SO feet long. These are for holding the dredge up to Its work. They are alternately Imbedded In the bottom of the river, and raised, and as the bow political commonwealth where we havo so many generals and so few privates. There are three distinct, well-defined factions contending for supremacy. One is headed by Governor McBride, who Is nominally the head of the party. The Governor is a man of fair ability, is a fighter and something of a politician, and is regarded as an honest man, with de cided convictions. It is understood that he thinks the corporations have dominated the party policy and dictated the nomina tions of the party long enough, and inas much as there is a law In this state pro tecting the railroads and other corpora tions against the people, there Gbould be laws on the statute books protecting the people against the railroads. During the last session of the Legisla ture the Governor was president of the Senate, and sought to secure certain re strictive legislation, but the corporations, through their retainers, paid lobby and their sack, were too much for the Gov ernor, and put his little scheme to sleep. This has not discouraged him, since his elevation from Lieutenant-Governor he has continued his fight with renewed vigor. So far as I have been able to learn the Governor has not prostituted the pat ronage of his office to building upa party or dynasty at the expense of the public service. It is thought his first considera tion has been to have honest and efficient officers appointed. Of course, they are in accord with his views in controlling or regulating the great corporations of the state. The Governor's candidate for Senator is Hon. Harold Preston, of King County. Mr. Preston Is an old law partner of the Governor, who is a reputable attorney, and Is regarded as one of the ablest at the Seattle bar a man without magnetism or any of the wiles or arts of the dema gogue; a man who would not shine In the United States Senate, but would wear and in the end command the respect and con fidence of his fellows, and would make a most capable and useful member of that antiquated body. Mr. Preston has the reputation with those who know him best as an honest man, fearless and upright in all the walks of life. It Is said by those best advised that Levi Ankeny, of Walla Walla, is being urged for Senator by the lobby of the Northern Pacific Railway, while J. L. Wilson Is being groomed by the Great Northern. It is also alleged that Mr. Wilson is the personal representative of JMr. J. J. Hill, and is in charge of his property or interest in the Post-Intelll-gencer. Mr. Ankeny is an old-timer; a banker, who has amassed a large fortune in that business. He Is a. liberal, broad-minded man of affairs who his friends and ad mirers claim would have made as great a mark in the financial world at Pierpont Morgan had he lived In New York. All concede that he Is a man of ability. Integ rity and high character. There is no doubt but what he has a large personal follow ing throughout the state, as well as the confidence and respect of his neighbors. Wilson representing( the third faction has been a member of the House of Rep resentatives for a short time, and filled an unexpired term in the Senate, and suc ceeded in securing a number of offices for his friends, without reference to the wel fare of the public service, "including Brother Harry" which some of the people here claim is about the measure of hla statesmanship, the limit of his usefulness In the halls of Congress. It Is conceded here that the first great fight will be In the state convention. The Governor and his friends will insist that the paramount duty of the convention will be to embody In the platform the doc trine that the cprporations shall be con trolled and regulated by law, and that the said law must be enforced, which will not be done if the railroads choose the courts and the executive officers, that they must not In the future, as In the sst, dominate the legislation of the state and control the nominating conventions. The Governor and his friends will make an xaerging of the Great Northern and North w. - - ... . ... . ..,uca oy tha Governor and his friends that tho salvation of the party this Fall depends, upon such a course. It is thought the corporations will seek to defeat sucu a move in the Republican state convention, which, of course, will precipitate a bitter fight. Many of the leading Republicans think this Is the crucial point, tJjat It Is vital. In short, with such, a plank in the Democrat platform, and a failure to put It in the Republican platform, will be fatal, result ing in another Voorhees landslide. It Is claimed by many of the leading men In Loth parties that, inasmuch as Wilson and Ankeny are both satisfactory to the rail roads, all the Influence and power of the railroads will at the proper time be con centrated to the support of one of these men. It may be Wilson or it may be An keny. They all agree that Mr. Hill is In the merger business, and In it to win, and at the proper time he will take the under lings and retainers of the two roads by the ears, crack their heads together, and direct them to support the one of these two candidates that will best subserve ihis purpose. This Is certainly like the meth ods of Mr. Hill in the past. Those who know him best say he careo little for promises direct or implied, and still less for men, but everything for success in his undertakings. This Is the practical side of Mr. Hill, -who looks alone to results, Tegardless of men or methods. ShoiildJ this happen the Governor will have a very lively time in landing Mr. Preston in the Senate. It is feared Mr. Hill will take it into his head to enter, through his lobby NEW DREDGE OF THE WILL BE THE MOST POWERFUL IN THE UNITED STATES. and paid hirelings, the conventions nomi nating the Legislative ticket, in which event he will make It still more difficult for the party to secure remedial or re strictive legislation. Those best advised say there is no kind of doubt but what King County will send a solid delegation to Olympla instructed to support Preston for Senator. This, of course, will place the Post-Intelligencer in a very tight place, as well as the man Wilson, who, as Hill's agent, controls it. How the paper will maintain Itself locally and appease the owner is one of the questions of the future. How Wilson will square himself with his principal Is one of the problems for that little squirming, versatile poli tician to settle. OBSERVER. PERSONAL MENTION. County Judge W. W.

Members of Congress from all parts of the country are being flooded with requests for copies of the "Horse Book," published by the Department of Agriculture, but owing to the exhaustion of the supply several years ago copies are not now obtainable. A few weeks ago a resolution was passed au thorizing a reprint of this valuable doc ument, but It will be several months be fore It will be ready for distribution. The officials of the Agricultural Department say they wish to revise the work and bring it up to date before it goes to press, so as to give the farmers the benefit of the very latest researches that have been made by their experts Into the diseases of the horse. Without question, this report has been the most popular of any yet put forth by the Government. It has had several editions to date, but no copies have been placed to the credit of mem bers of the last two or three Congresses. When the ned edition Is ready copies can be had through Senators and Representa tives only. A Colorado Pioneer. OURAY, Colo., May 4. Hon.

PUBLIC IAND LEASING NO BILL CAN BE PASSED THAT DE PARTMENT DISAPPROVES OF. Cattlemen Are Notified That All Fences Mast Be Removed From the Public Domain. WASHINGTON, May 4. It will not be possible to secure the passage of any bill for leasing the vacant public lands of the West that does not have the approval of the Interior Department. It Is not necessary that the department accept all the provisions of the bill, but whatever measure passes, it any, must in general be acceptable to the Secretary of the In terior and the Commissioner of the Gen eral Land Office. And at present there Is no such bill In sight. When the representatives of Western cattle companies who have been appear ing before the House committee found that they could not rush through either the Millard or Bowersock bill, they proposed to pass some law providing only for leas ing the public ranges of the State of Ne braska, basing the amount of leasehold on the extent of freehold, and Inserting a provision that no Individual should ac- PORT OF PORTLAND. swings from side to side in fdredglng the channel the spuds drive the dredge forward. The dredge will have engines that will develOD between 1500 and 2000 horsepower. Power will be generated in four Jleine safety boilers, whose total heating surface will be 12,400 square feet. The main engine and cutters will be provided by local contractors, the winding engine will come from Seattle, the main pump and rubber connections for the discharge pipe from California, and the boilers, ladders and discharge pipe from the East. The contracts were thus apportioned In order to get the dredge finished as sopn as possible. v The discharge pipe will be 30 Inches in diameter the largest on the Coast. The diameter of the pipe of the present Port of Portland dredge Is 20 inches. A 30-inch dredge Is In use at Philadelphia, and a 22-inch at Boston. On the Mississippi River there are several dredges whose discharge pipes range from 30 to 34 Inches, but none of them has as much power as the one at Portland will have. "I will back our new dredge up against any In the world," says J. C. B. Lockwood, consulting engineer of the Port of Portland. Under or dinary circumstances a 20-Inch dredge, can remove 200,000 cubic yards of sand In a month. The new dredge should do three times that amount of work In the same time. quire under the act a tract exceeding 50,000 acres of grazing land. Their pleas for the passage of such a bill have been strong, but the committee has been un wavering. Seeing that no report could be had from the committee until the department had taken some, action, these cattle interests appeared before Secretary Hitchcock ana Land Commissioner Hermann, In the hope of securing their approval of a bill on the lines above indicated. But again they met with defeat. They were told that the department could not pass on any bill un til It had been formally drawn, and had then been referred to them for opinion. The officials are not to be trapped into saying they will approve this or that bill, when the bill has not taken definite shape. The only hope of the cattlemen now is to draw up a leasing bill in such shape as to meet the objections raised by Commis sioner Hermann and the .Secretary on the Millard bill. But there Is a radical differ ence of opinion which enters here, and from present Indications there Is lime or no probability that a compromise can be brought about There is reason to believe that the de partment will not approve a bill fixing the maximum amount of leasehold at 50, 000 acres. Such a bill would be operr to the same objections, In a modified form, as were raised to the pending bills, name ly, that It would be primarily drawn In the Interest of the large owners or com panies, and would work to the detriment of the homesteader and small stockowner. While a poll of the public lands com mittees has not been made, the talk of several of the leading members indicate that there is considerable shyness about reporting any leasing bill, especially at this time. In all but a few states the general sentiment Is against that class cf legislation, and members do not care to go on record as opposing the wishes of their constituents. More than this, oth ers believe that any leasing bill, no matter how carefully drawn, would allow loop holes through which the cornoratlons t would In time be able to acquire prac tical ownership of the great bulk of the now vacant public lands, and such a con dition Is generally acknowledged to be to the detriment of the public welfare. The cattlemen are threatening to "make it j warm" for some members of the commit tee ivno are not wining to support a leas ing bill, but their Influence Is not suf ficiently great .to control a majority of the votes. The representatives of Western cattle Interests, who have been about Washing ton lately. In the hope of Influencing leg islation affectlnir their Interests, have so ffar met with nothing but failures. They recently called at the White House to en list the President's support of a leasing bill, and, falling In, that, asked that he direct the Indefinite suspension of the or ders of the Interior Department that all fences Illegally erected on the public ranges be removed. There arc, over COO such fences which have recently been ordered removed by the department within a reasonable time, the law provid ing that no fences shall be erected on 1 the public domain. Time and again these ! cncAQ VinT Vuwn fnnii1vl finH rlelaw nf one character and another have been granted, until all patience has been lost with the lawbreakers. The fact that the President had had experience on Western ranges led the cat tle mennc-w In the city to appeal to him. But. to their surprise, the President said that while he sympathized with them In their difficulty, and realized the trouble and expense to which they would be put, he could not see his way clear to grant further extensions of time, and directed that they act as ordered by the depart ment. This illegal fencing is not confined td any one section, but prevails all over the sheep and cattle-raising states. The Interior Department has determined to go ahead with this work of removing fences wherever they are found to exist. Immediately upon receipt of reports of violations of the law, orders are to be served on the offending persons notifying them to remove the fences within -a spe cified time. If they fail to do so, proceed ings will be taken against them through the Department of Justice, and the fences i will be removed by representatives of the Government, who have full authority to act in such cases. ' FRANK J. TURK IN JAIL: Sentenced in Honolulu for Boarding American Vessels. News has been received from Honolulu that Frank J. Turk, formerly of Portland, has been sentenced to serve a term of SO days In Oahu prison for a violation of the law regarding the boarding of vessels be fore they had been passed upon by the quarantine officials. On April 16 It ap pears that Turk, his partner, Oscar Lewis, and his employer, William Young, boarded the American ship Arthur Sewall before she had been examined by the cus toms officials. They had been warned to stay off the ship, but they declined to pay any attention to the quarantine officer, and they were placed under arrest. When arraigned In the court Young entered a plea of guilty, and was fined $20. The others also entered picas? In the hope of being let off with similar fines, but they were taxed $20 each and were sentenced to 30 days in the prison. Neither was prepared for the term of In door hardship, and both were surprised when the sentence was pronounced They were taken to the prison, and Judge Estee decided that as they had been frequent violators of the law they must remain there to fulfill their sentences. After the trial Mrs. Turk assumed the management of her husband's business. She engaged a sailor named Gerrard to tmi look after the shipment of crews, and she saw that the captains who were In need of men were supplied when they offered the requisite price. Turk Is very well known in Portland. He was raised In Portland, and was a son of the late Jim Turk, who was a sailor-boarding-house man. Frank engaged In the business himself both here and In Astoria, and a few years ago he raised a great deal of trouble for the other houses. During the Pennoyer adminis tration he was a police officer. After his discharge he had a sailor boarding-house here and at Astoria, and he transferred his operations thence to Honolulu. HIGH WIND AT ST. LOUIS Storm Resulted in Much Damage Lishtniner Canned Fires. ST. LOUIS, May 4. For a short time this afternoon a terrific storm of wind and rain prevailed in this city and vicinity, causing much damage. Lightning result ed in seevral fires, one of which destroyed the machine shops and a section of the foundry of William and Philip Medart's patent pulley plant in South St. Louis. The loss Is estimated at $300,000. In all parts of the city trees, fences, signs, awn ings,, etc., were blown down and other damage done by the wind, which came In terrific gusts. As far as learned, no body was killed or Injured. For one min ute this afternoon the wind reached a velocity of 65 miles an hour, and for the five succeeding minutes It blew at the rate of 52 miles, after which It moderated. In the down-town district the wind car ried away Immense signs, throwing them into the streets and breaking plate-glass windows In several of the largo stores. Of the crowds on the streets a the time, many had narrow escapes from death and injury. No Change in Planing: Mill Strike. Sunday was a quiet day among the planing mill strikers, and the situation Is unchanged. The action of the engi neers' union in calling their members out of the mills in question has somewhat strengthened the stand of the strikers, but the employers show no signs of weak ening. From present indications it will be some time before the trouble Is adjusted. Services in Woodmen Hall. The congregation of Centenary M. E. Church held services yesterday in Wood men Hall, on East Sixth street. This hall will be used until the repairs to the church building have been completed. Prayer services will be held Wednesday evening in the Second Baptist Church, East Sev enth and East Ankeny streets, the use of the edifice for this purpose having been kindly offered by the pastor of that church.

It is consumption of the small glands under the skin, and these break out into the sores. Scott's Emulsion heals these sores. But there's more to the story. The loss of flesh and great weakness that comes with Scrofula is a regular part of the disease the same as in consumption of the lungs. For this as for the sores, Scott's Emulsion is just the remedy. Flesh and strength are gained by the use of Scott's Emulsion quicker than in any other way. Scrofulous children improve in every way on Scott's Emul sion. Send far Free Saapla.
