12 THE MOKNTtfG OREGONIAN. THURSDAY MAY 15, 1902. EAST SIDE BLOCK SOLD 3fEW OWKER IS SAID TO BEPX)RT LAD CITY & ORBGOX. Street Railway Company Is Believed to Control Twenty Acres ort' Terminal Facilities. The block on -which the oar factory building stands, on East "Water and East Clay streets, has been sold, presumably to-the Portland City & Oregon Railway Company, or to the same people who leased the Rosa Wallace tract for 30 years. This Is block No. L Block No. 2, just east of the oar factory, and extending from East Water to East First street, on the south side of East Clay street, has been sold to the same party. The tenants have found out that there has been a change of ownership from the fact that they have been notified that their rents had been raised about 500 per cent over what they had been paying. The" Portland City & Oregon Railway Company has secured control of all the land south of East Clay street to Inman, Poulsen & Co.'s sawmill, and between the "Willamette Hirer and the Southern Pa cific ruilroad. for some distance The tracts secured are those of the Raffety Bros., of about 15 acres: Rosa Wallace, about four acres, the Bane tract of about two acres, and the two blocks just south of East Clay stret, which, with the water front, makes a total of 20 acres. The hardwood factory Is located on the Bane tract, and the owners have a five-year lease on the ground, four years not having expired. They ask 53000 to give up their, lease, but this is regarded as very steep. Negotiations are In progress for the pur chase of the two blocks on the north side of East Clay street also. The renters of the buildings on the blocks on East Clay street think that the big Increase in their rent has been made to as to cause them to vacate, and some have declared they would have to mdve rather than pay the advance. The man who rents the oar factory building asked if a lease would be given on the new rates asked for, but the agent said that no lease would be given. There is yet no definite information as to what all this land is wanted for, but there Is little doubt but It is wanted for depot and ter minal facilities. The Rosa Wallace tract has been entirely cleared. There were several thousand telephone poles stacked on the tract, but all have been removed. The old dwelling of James B. Stephens has been removed to East Twelfth street. Several carloads of machinery have been unloaded on the tract, and last week a big boiler was unloaded there. "WOODLAWX SCHOOLHOUSE SITE. Strong Effort to Induce Board of Ed ucation to Select New Location. There is a considerable discussion over the location of the proposed new school house at "Woodlawn. At the meeting lield at Buxton's store Saturday night, it was expected that the matter would come up for consideration, but It was not taken np at all, although the crowd was out to hear the discussion. Since then a dele gation headed by George P. Ient waited on the Board of Education, and asked them to consider the selection of another site further north, which, in the judgment cf the committee, would be more central than the present one in Woodlawn proper. After some talk on the subject the Di rectors agreed to look over the territory, and they did so Tuesday afternoon with the committee. The Directors are urged to purchase a block about five blocks south of the pres ent site, facing on Union avenue. It Is contended that such location would better accommodate the entire territory tribu tary to the schoolhouse than the present one. It was set forth that it would be more sightly and healthful, would ac commodate the people to the northward "Without causing inconvenience to their neighbors In Woodlawn, and In fact, would be equally central to the whole district. Most of the Directors were present at the inspection. Residents of "Woodlawn seem to be op posed to any change in the site of the building, while the people of Piedmont and those living east of Union avenue and south of "Woodlawn are anxious for a change. J. B. Easter expressed the opin ion yesterday that, rather than have the new schoolhouse placed on the present grounds owned by the district, the people would club together and buy a block fur ther southward. It is understood that a block containing 12 lots can be had for $1500. It had been supposed that the matter of selecting a site would be left to the Board of Education. It was so voted at a mass meeting held last Winter in "Woodlawn, but when the people in the higher dis tricts toward the south found that the Directors would probably build on the old site, they began to agitate a. removal. The matter la now in the hands of the Board of Education. J. B. BRIDGES LOWEST BIDDER. Bids for Erection of Southern Pacific A'cir Building: Have Been Opened. J. B. Bridges' hid for the erection of the boiler and blacksmith shop for the Southern Pacific Company was the low est submitted, and he will no doubt be awarded the contract. However, the bids have to go to the head department at San Francisco for examination and approval. The brickwork and foundation of the structure will cost about $15,000, exclusive of the Ironwork, Including the roof, wnich "will l'kely make the total cost nearly 520,000. After this comes the machinery, "which is very expensive, and the complet ed structure with machinery will cost 560,000, or even more. 21r. Bridges had the contract for the erection of the machine shop, exclusive of the roof and ironwork for $25,000, and yet the cost of the structure reached $C5.000. and with the machinery cost over JIOO.OOO. The new building will not re quire a floor. The foundation will be of concrete, and will have to be carried down to gravel, ae was done with the founda tion of the machine shops. The tract is rather iow, and the gravel Is a consider able depth below the soil. Contractor Bridges and Superintendent Klcemann will have their office on the ground, and push the work with vigor when all the prelimi naries have been settled. SEW FOUR-FLAT DWELLING. It "Will Be Erected by Colonel Henry C. Hodges on East Sixth Street. Colonel Henry C. Hodges will have erected on East Sixth street, near East Washington, opposite the Woodmen of the World Hall, a four-flat structure, which will cost above $6000. Architect Kleemann is preparing plans for the building. It will be modern in all respects. The small shacks whlc now occupy the ground where t,he new building will stand will be torn down, much to the satisfaction of the neighborhood. Work has been started on the lodging house of Mrs. Antone Pllz, on the corner of Grand avenue and East Mill street. It will cost about $3500. The new double fiat of F. D. Miller, on the corner of Grand avenue and EastiAn keny, is nearlng completion. It contains in all 28 rooms, is one of the largest build ings of the kind on the East Side, and the cost la 57000. McMlllen Camp to Meet. MCMlllen Camp. Sons and Daughters of Indian War Veterans, will hold a meet ing this evening In the home of Captain J. H. McMillen, on Crosby street, for general business, which will include the marking of graves and arrangements for the annual encampment of the Indian War Veterans. The camp will take sUp lor- providing luncheon for the delegates to the camp. A full attendance of the mem bers in desired. A committee will be 'ap pointed to place the markers on graves in Lone Fir and other Portland cemeteries before Memorial day. Death of Oscar Cliff. Oscar Cliff, an aged resident, who had lived at 3G0 East Market street for the past 17 years, did Tuesday. With his family he came from Iowa in 1SS2, oa the first through train on the Northern Pa cific, first stopping in Clackamas County and then settling in Portland. He was 81 years old. He Is survived by his wife and six children, the latter being: Amos, Andy and Dolly Cliff, of Portland; John and Edward Cliff, of Iowa; Mrs. Ida De lacey. of Long Beach, Cai. Had he lived Mr. and aire. Cliff would have celebrated their golden wedding on December 15. The funeral will be held this afternoon, from the residence, at 2 o'clock, and Lone Fir cemetery will be the place of Interment. Free Methodist Conference. The annual conference of the Free Methodist church will commence Wednes day of next week and continue over Sun day at the First Free Methodist thurch, corner of East Ninth and Mill streets. Bishop B. R. Jones, of Chicago, will pre side. The first session, opening Wednes day, at 2 P. M., will be a business ses sion for the organization of he confer ence. The sessions of the other days will begin at 8:30 A. M. Rev. W. B. Olmstead, of the Free Methodist Publishing House, of Chicago, will be present In the Interest of Sunday-school work. Eaxt Side Notes. Dr. Curtis Holcomb, a prominent phy sician of Alblna, who has been seriously 111 with pneumonia, was yesterday re ported Improving. Mrs. Mary Bunn, the pioneer, who died Tuesday on the East Side, aged 79 years, had lived with her son, F. M. Dunn, 33 years. It was stated yesterday that she had several years since fallen and frac tured her thigh, and had never fully re covered. This is a mistake. She suffered no accident, and died of old age. A remonstrance signed by 75 property owners against lowering the.grade of the Base Line road, at East Thirty-fourth and East Thirty-fifth streets to correspond with that of these streets has been pre sented to the County Commissioners. To lower the grade would necessitate an ex tensive cut in the Base Line road for a considerable distance. The funeral of Eugene Gellnsky was held yesterday afternoon from Dunnlng's undertaking establishment, on East Alder street, and from the German Lutheran Church. West Side. Members of Fidelity .Lodges Nos. 4 and 14, attended. The re mainder of the Gelinbky family, who are sick with typhoid fever, were reported yesterday in a hopeful condition. TO WORK FOR ALASKA LINE Committees Will Solicit Stockr Sub scriptions Today. The several sub-committees appointed to solicit subscriptions to stock of the Portland-Alaska Transportation Coppany will meet this afternoon at 3 P. M. In the Chamber of Commerce building. A plan will be formulated for making a thorough canvass of the city. It has not yet been decided whether to cover the city with two or three committees, or with a larger number. Some persons be lieve that one or two committees would do better work than several, but others point out the example of the Lewis and Clark fund, which was raised by a large number of committees. R. F. Prael, John C Carson and W. B. Glafke signed the articles of Incorporation yesterday. The next procedure Is that of selling stock, after which the company will organize. The articles are as fol lows: The objects of this Incorporation, and tha business In which it proposes to engage are to build, purchase, lease or charter own and hold steamships and other vessels to ply from the City of Portland, Or., on the Columbia and Willamette Rivers, and the Pacific Ocean ports In the territory of Alaska, and other Pacific Ocean ports, and to carry on a general shipping, transportation and trading business between the City of Portland, Or., and all of such ports, and to purchase, lease, hold or own any and all wharves, docks, offices and such other real estate and goods, wares, merchan dise and personal property as may be necessary or convenient In the conducting and carrying on of such shipping, transportation and trading business. The principal office or place of business of this corporation shall be in Portland, State of Oregon. The amount of the capital stock of this cor poration shall be $50,000. to be divided Into 1000 shares of the par value of $50 each. The plan is to charter two steam ves sels. The route of the line has not yet been mapped out. It is believed by the promoters of the project that the number of vessels employed will steadily grow af ter the enterprise Is established. Although the line may lose money at first, they be lieve that the amount' of capital proposed will establish It permanently. There Is enough freight shipped from Portland now to support the line. In order to get this freight it will be necessary to prove that the enterprise is In the field to stay, and that It can mee the competition of northern companies. Alexander Kunz and J. M. Moore, the Board of Trade committee, called on half a dozen jobbers yesterday and received offers of over 250 tons of freight for each steamer. The vessels would leave Port land every fortnight t Concerning: Volcanoes. SALEM, May 13. (To the Editor.) Geologists such as Le Conte Inform us that the temperature of the earth on -Its surface changes In accordance with lati tude, and that between day and night. Winter and Summer, the surface temper ature varies. Below the surface the daily variation of temperature quickly vanishes, but It Is necessary to descend as many as 60 feet to miss the annual variation of temperature. Below about 60 feet there is an invariable temperature, the upper part 'of which is called the stratum of Invariable temperature, coming nearest the surface at the equator and deepest as it comes toward the poles. But while below this stratum temperature Is not' variable it is Increased on reaching a greater depth. A melting heat would be reached at the end of 30 miles, and from this fact the notion that the interior of the earth Is 'a sea of fire has been ad vanced and defended. But mark, the tem perature does not become more hot with uniformity, and melting: heat Is found lower than 30 miles. With over SO miles of rock above, the fusing point would be higher than that under the pressure of the atmosphere. If there be an inward sea of fire, the crust is much thicker than has often been estimated. In all probability there Is no sea of fire within the earth, but it is probable that there are local bodies of liquid fire, to which volcapoes afford openings. As water goes down very deeply Into the earth it may be that the solid Interior is separated from the crust by liquid or partly liquid matter. The cause of fusion is in chemical or mechanical action. Here are the head quarters of volcanoes, earthquakes and crust oscillations. Volcanoes are near the sea, In lines, and In recently formed strata. The sea having retreated from the Cascades, the old volcanoes of this range of mountains are extinct. "Vol canoes and earthquakes are a great bless ing to the earth, as they help to make the elevating forces of the earth to keep the earth from being levelled Into a sea. So do .not bo shocked if volcanoes burn and the ribs of the earth shake. As to the loss of lives, no person can claim a moment of physical existence as his due. If man Is good he can bo transferred to another realm, if he is wicked the wonder is that he stays at all among us. B. J. HOADLET.

BARODA NOT ABANDONED ANOTHER ATTEMPT WILL BE MADE ' TO FLOAT THE VESSEL IN JUNE. Steamer Dalles City Makes Trial Trip for Her Xew Owners Brit ish. Baric Brunei Sails. The experience of Captain Young, of the Poltalloch, in taking his vessel from the beach with an ease contrary to all precedent, has undoubtedly proven bene ficial in the case of the Baroda, -which went ashore near Coos Bay last August. The San Francisco dispatch stating that the Baroda had been abandoned to her fate after an unsuccessful attempt to float her a few days ago, was an error. According to advices received by Catton. Bell & Co., of this city, who are ' local agents for the ship, the failure to float the vessel last week did not mean an abandonment of the project, but merely a postponement until the high tide of June. At that time another attempt will be made to get the vessel back Into deep water, and It is believed that It will be successful. Captain Burns, the wrecksr, who has charge of the work, will remain with the vessel, and as conditions are more fcvorable than In the case of the Glenmorag, with which he labored so hard on North Beach, he may yet succeed In floating the craft. In the attempt made a few days ago, the weather condi tions were not as favorable as they might have been, as there was quite a swell on, which held the vessel against the shore instead of helping her off. If the Baroda gets safely away from the beach, she will be the first vessel ever taken off the Oregon Coast after going ashore, although three have been saved from the Washington Coast. Of these, the first one, the British bark felnlta, was favored with unusual good luck, a high tide and a strong offshore breeze forcing her out of her predicament a few days after she struck the beach. The saving of the Poltalloch was due to excellent work by her master. Captain Young, and to her striking on a very favorable spot. The third vessel taken from tho Washing ton Coast was the Columbia River light ship, which was hauled overland, and launched In Baker's Bay by Allen & Rob erts, of this city. More money was r.pent in unsuccessful endeavors to float the ships Glenmorag and Potrlmpos than was spent in floating all three of the ships that have been saved. SEW DALLES CITY. Crack Steamer of Colnmbla Northern Out On a Trinl Trip. The steamer Dalles City, which has been undergoing extensive, repairs under the STATE POLITICAL DISCUSSION. The Issue Elect Republicans. Ashland Tidings. The paramount issues in the present Oregon campaign are the election of a Republican as Governor, and of a State Legislature that will send a Republican f to the United States Senate. It Is neces sary for the welfare of the state that Ore gon should send a Senator to Congress who will support the National Adminis tration, and be in touch and sympathy with the wise policies that have brought such great prosperity to the land as It Is now In the enjoyment of. The Oregon Democracy Is pledged to a policy of scut tle In the Philippines, and to the destruc tion of American Industries through Its policy of tariff for revenue only; while the Republicans are striving to uphold the policy of McKlnley and Roosevelt in the Philippines, and the continued protec tion to American industries against the pauper labor" of the world. Should such a misfortune as the election of Mr. Cham berlain as Governor be In store for the state. In case of a vacancy by death or resignation of an Oregon "United States Senator, Mr Chamberlain would have the appointment of his successor. There is no doubt but that In such an event Mr. Chamberlain would appoint Sylvester Pen noyer, C. E. S. Wood or some other free trader and advocate of scuttle In the Philippines. Recent events show clearly that the regilded and regalvanlzed Oregon Democracy, under Instructions from tho cunning minds that are directing the Na tional reorganization of the party for the coming Presidential campaign, are shap ing all of their efforts to defeat the Re publican candidate for Governor, and for the control of the State Legislature. This they hppe to accomplish through Repub lican apathy over the situation, and with the assistance of a few disappointed place hunters and discredited office-seekers. The Democratic managers point to the de creased registration In the state as an evidence of Republican apathy, and boast that they will have their own full vote out for free trade and scuttle in the Phil ippines. Republicans all over the county and state should be on their guard. Reg ister! Vote the full Republican ticket! Do not scratch a name! Every man on it merits the support of those who are in terested In a continuation of the wise and economical policies that have brought such prosperity to the county, state and Nation. Mr. Furnlsh's clean-cut, business-like speech, which he delivered in Ashland and has been repeating on his campaign throughout the state, gives the opposition Dress much concern. It strikes so hard and covers the ground inteded so well that the address Is making many votes for Mr. Furnish, wherever the people hear or read It. Plain statements of plain facta by a plain, matter-of-fact business man do not strike the Democratic press favor ably; they delight In misrepresentation and Indirection after the manner of Cham berlain's talks and sophlBtry. One sec tion of the opposition charges that Mr. Furnlsh's speech Is Judge Bolleray's com position; another, that it Is a schoolboy production, so they have not settled on a consistent line of attack. The common sense, good judgment, business qualities and elements of success that in Mr. Fur nlsh's address appeal and convince the thinking voters, come as a surprise to tha Democratic critics. Don't Scratch. Adams Advance. If Republicans will stop for a -moment's time and think some, they will cease talk ing of scratching the Legisfatlve ticket, as some of them are doing. This next winter the Legislature of Oregon will have to elect a man to succeed Joseph Simon in the United States Senate, whose term expires then. Every vote cast for a nominee on t-he Legislative ticket helps to make that Senator a Republican or a Democrat. It is true that the Democrats have nominated men that so far as busi ness management is concerned, are as good as those put up by their opponents, but it behooves us to elect Republicans for the reason that if a Democrat should be elected, his natural tendency and party loyalty would forbid his voting for a Re publican, and a Republican Is what we need. The split on the Legislative ticket in Multnomah County will possibly cut down the Republicans some in the next session of the Legislature, and It stands every man In hand to vote that part of his ticket straight. You may have a friend for some place on the Democratic ticket that you feel you cannot turn down, but whatever you do, do not per mit friendship to Influence you to vote against the principles you believe to be right. "'Consent of the Governed." Corvallls Gazette. The hue and cry for "consent of the governed" comes with ill grace from that party which defiantly boasts In the United States Senate that large numbers of men in one section of the Union are forcloly jtnd fraudulently deprived of all participa supervision of Captain Sherman Short, yesterday made her first trip in the ser vice of her new owners, the Columbia Northern Railroad. Since her withdrawal from service the steamer" has been fitted with new cylinder timbers, king posts and new engines. She has also been re painted inside and out, and looks as bright as a new coined dollar. Her speed has Improved with the overhauling given her, and she made the run down from j The Dalles yesterday in six hours, reach ing her dock in this city at 1 o'ciock. The new engines with which the steamer has been equipped are ah invention of B. C. Ball, of the Willamette Steel and Iron Works. The most important feature of the new machinery Is a new style cut off valve gear, which gives the engines 30" per cent, more capacity with the same boiler On the trjai trip yesterday, the engines worked smoothly and did not have to stop from the time the steamer left The Dalles, excepting for the 20 minutes stop at the Cascades Locks, until the craft was slowed up to pass through the Burnside-street bridge. This Is one of the most Important improve ments that have been made on Columbia River steamers for the last 30 years, and is a step In advance in applying modern improvements to steamboat engines. On board during the trip were President Hugh Glenn and Directors Nolan, Peters, Mclnnery. Superintendent W. C. Allaway, of the old company; C. F. Swlgert. direct or of the new company. At the Oak-street dock the other directors of the Columbia Northern, President Rufus Mallory, H. W. Corbett. H. L. Piltock. H. C. Campbell, G. W. Simons, Chief Engineer Oliver and Messrs. Ball and Corbett, of the Willam ette Steel and Iron Works, were taken on board for an hour's ride down the river. SEALSKINS ARE IIIGn. Catch of the Victoria Schooners Hns Been Forwarded to Europe. The Victoria Colonist of Monday re ferred to the sealskin market as follows: Tho first shipment of sealskins to the London market was made yesterday, when the Victoria Sealing Company dis patched 32 casks containing 2332 skins, valued at over $33,000, to C. M. Lamp- I Quade also .made a shipment to London yesteraay, senaing six. uisw wu taining 322 skins, the catch of the schooner Umbria. "The price is expected to rule high lhia year In the market for sealskins, for since women must walk gay in their sealskin sacques and the catch has been smaller than usual, those skins sent to the market will realize better prices. The skins sent from the schooners hunting off Falkland Islands realized $17. The schooner C. T. Rand, Captain J. Searle. returned to port yesterday morn ing with a catch of 241 skins, two of which were niarked by the branders on St. Paul Island, which went to show that the two unfortunate seals had been vic tion in the rights and privileges of self government. These men who, through the agency of the lash, the bludgeon, the torch and the shotgun are deprived of participating In their' own government are far better qualified for self-government than the Filipinos are. We withhold self-government from the people of our territories mainly for two reasons because they are unfitted for It, or because they are not numerous, enough to conduct an organized government. When qualified for it we have never re fused them the full measure of self government, guaranteed by our Constitu tion, and contemplated by the signers of the Declaration of Independence. This Is just what we are doing.and shall do with the Filipinos. Can the Democratic party do more? Dare It advocate less? Work to Do. Salem Statesman. Republicans must get down to business. They must put aside their family quar- rels for a few weeks and devote all their energies and fighting strength against the common enemy. They have much to do. There Is a United States Senator to elect. He must be a Republican and In sympathy with the policies of the party. A Republican Legislature must be elected that Oregon may send a man to the Na tional Senate who stands for expansion of American trade and the retention of the Philippines. A vote for a Democrat for the Legislature is a vote for C. E. S. Wood for United States Senator, a vote against retention of the Philippines. It would be suicidal to the Interests of the State, and no Republican can at this time afford to vote for a Democrat for the Legislature. There Is too much politics in positions of this kind to let personal or factional differences Interfere. The Republicans have two Congressmen also to elect. There is little doubt but they will be able t6 accomplish this, yet their election should not be taken for granted. They must have the united and active support of the party. Their vote more than any other wlil be taken as an expression of the people on the Philippine question and should be made as largo as possible. Republicans have a full State and county ticket to elect to employ their spare moments and give to their energies. In fact, there Is a lot to do, and if family quarrels can be laid aside for a few weeks we will come nearer accomplishing all that is before us. United and hearty sup port of the whole ticket should be the watchword for Republicans, with which they could calmly await the fray with assurance of victory. Williamson the Right Man. Condon Times. To the doubtful brethren, who have no personal acquaintance with either of the Congressional nominees, and who have the best interest of bunch-grass at heart, we wish to say. Just examine the past records and achievements of the two can didates, and if you do this In good faith we believe you won't hesitate in deciding in favor of Mr. "Williamson. He has been tried In local affairs and proven himself an honest and very efficient worker, and is one who has well earned his advance ment, so let's pass him up a notch and place him where he may serve our Inter ests better In the larger field. This dis trict Is overwhelmingly Republican, so vote for the winner, if you never did be fore, and when he has brought tho pend ing legislation to- a successful conclusion and we have an open river, with water competition and cheaper freight rates, and when the proposed lease laws haye been buried too deep for resurrection, you can feel that you helped elect to his first term the man who could and would mako himself felt on the right side of national legislation. In which we all have a per sonal interest. DeHglas for Farnlsh. Roseburg Plalndealer. There is no doubt that Mr. Furnish will receive the full strength of the Re publican party In Douglas County. His speech here "took." in every sense of the word, and his plain, businesslike, straightforward remarks have received the hearty approval of all the voters. The report made by some of the Demo cratic organs that Chamberlain would run ahead of his ticket In this section, Is entirely unfounded: it will be exactly tho contrary. Farniith Better Adapted. Fossil Journal. The Democracy Is making a heroic ef fort to elect Mr. Chamberlain Governor with, the aid of Republican votes, but there is no valid reason why any good Republican should vote for Chamberlain for Governor in preference to Furnish. Each has held divers political offices, and each lias taken for his services all the emoluments allowed by law. Both are good men, but it Is a well-known fact that Furnish is much the belter business man; therefore" the better fitted to administer th affair o th xUte. tims of the Inhuman treatment advocated by Dr. Starr Jordan. The skins Includ ed those of several large bulls taken off the Vancouver Island coast. The C. D. Rand would have had a much larger catch had she not met with misfortune during the February gales when she had her decks swept and all her canoes smashed. The schooner had to return to Quatslno to secure more canoes and was delayed three weeks. HAVE A SIBERIAN CONCESSION. New Company Sends a Steamer From Seattle With Supplies. SEATTLE, May 14.--The steanler Man auense, a British bottom flying the Danish flag, leaving an American port for a Rus sian destination and to visit Japanese ports, was the rather novel shipping event of today. Count Wonlarlarsky, Count Podhoreki and other Russian noblemen; Richard Trenholme, A. E. and George Williams, all of Seattle,, and various other capital ists of this city, San Francisco and St. Petersburg, compose the Northeast Si berian Company which will operate a con cession comprising a vast area of Siberia lying on Behring Sea and the Arctic Ocean, given to Count Wonlarlarsky by tho Russian Government- The Manauense, which is commanded by Captain J. C. Arthur, carries 1500 tons of materials, mer chandise, fuel and lumber for the estab lishment of two trading posts at Vladimir and St. Nicholas, on Plover and St. Law rence Bays, respectively, on the Siberian coast, some 200 or SCO miles across Behring Sea from Nome. THE BRUNEI, SAILS. But One Ship Left in River Under Charter for "Wheat Loading:. The British bark Brunei sailed from Astoria at 5 o'clock last evening, and tho Nomia is alone In her glory on the char tered list, although there are still two "ellglbles" and a third will shortly be added, as the repairs to the Asie are' nearlng completion. There Is a prospect that the Lord Shaftesbury may be char tered iwithin a 'short time, but the Speke Is such a large carriVr that she Is in poor demand at this season of the year. The Asie is a pretty large carrier, but as she is a bounty-fed craft, her owners can afford to accept a much lower rate then will be demanded, for British vessels which are sailed on business principles. In addition to these sailers, the steamship Quito is still on the waiting list, and if tho wheat market should take a sharp turn upward, and Europe become short on sup plies, the ability of a steamer to get there in a hurry might make her worth quite a premium over a sailer. TERRIBLB CATASTROPHE .FEARED. British Steamship Believed to Have Foundered With Many Lives. LONDON, May 14. A dispatch from Rangoon, British Burmah, says a life boat belonging to the British steamer Camorta, overdue at that port from Madras, has been picked up In the Bay of Bengal. The Camorta was reported to have had too passengers on board. A lifeboat and boom belonging to the Camorta has also been picked up near Krishna lightship on the Madras coast. It is believed that the Camorta foundered during. a cyclone on May 4. Besides her 650 passengers, who were natives, tha Camorta had a crew of SO. England Needs Fleets. NEW YORK, May 14.
