BRITISH RECOGNITION OF CROMWELL
' CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS MAKES ANOTHER
INTERESTING CONTRIBUTION TO HISTORICAL
DISCUSSION.
CHICAGO. June 17. At the meeting of
the PW Beta Kappa Society of the TJnl
verJty of Chicago, held here tonight,
Charles Francis Adams delivered an ora
tion on the subject, "Shall Cromwell Have
a Statue?" Mr. Adams address was In
pert as follows:
"At about 3 o'clock of the afternoon of
September S, 1655, the day of Worcester
ami of Dunbar, and as a groat tempest
was wearing Itself to rest, Oliver Crom
well died. He died In London, In the pal
ace of Whitehall; that palace of the great
banqueting hall, through whose central
window Charles had walked forth to the
scaffold a little less than 10 years before.
A few weeks later, 'with a more than re
gal solemnity. the body of the great Lord
Protector was.carried to Westminster Ab
bey and Ifcere buried 'amongst Kings.'
"Two years then elapsed; and, on the
12th anniversary of King Charles' execu
tion, the remains of the usurper, having
boen disinterred by a unanimous vote of
tlie convention Parliament, were hung at
Tyburn. The trunk was then burled under
the gallows, while CrcmweU'i) head was
set on a pole over the joof of Westmin
ster Hall. Nearly two centuries of execra
tion ensued, until, in the sixth genera
tion, the earlier verdict was challenged,
and the question at last asked: 'Shall
Cromwell have a statue?' Cromwell, the
traitor, the usurper, the execrable mur
Herer of the martyred Charles!
"As first, and for long, the suggestion ,
was looked upon almost as an Impiety,
and, as such, scornfully repelled. Not
only did the old loyal King-worship of
England recoil from the thought, but, in
dignantly appealing to the Church, it de
clared that no such distinction could be
granted eo long as there remained In the
Prayer Book a form of supplication for
K?ug Charles the Martyr, and of praise
and thanksgiving for the wonderful de
liverance of theec kingdoms from the
groat rebellion, and all the other miseries
antf oppressions consequent thereon, un
der v.hich they had so long groaned. None
the less, the demand was Insistent; and
at last, b it only after two full centuries
had elapsed and a third was well ad
vanced, was the verdict of 1661 reversed.
Toay the bronze ofilgy of Oliver Crom
well massive in size, rugged In feature,
characteristic In attitude stands defiant
ly in the yard of that Westminster Hall,
from the pole on the top of which, twelve
score years ago, the flesh crumbled from
his skull.
A Dramatic Reversal.
"In this dramatic reversal of an accept
or verdiot this complete revision of opin
ions once deemed settled and Immutable
there is, I admit, a lesson an academic
laoron.
"Wo, too, as well as the English, have
had our great rcbollion. It came to a
dramatic close 37 years since; as theirs
came to a close not less dramatic some
seven times 37 years since. We, also, as
they In their time, formed our contem
poraneous judgments and recorded our
verdicts, assumed to be irreversible, of the
men, the issues, and the events of the
great conflict, and those verdicts and
Judgments, in our case as in theirs, will
unquestionably be revised, modified, and
in not a few cases wholly reversed. Bet
ter knowledge, calmer reflection and a
more judicial frame of mind come with
the passage of the years; in time pas
sions subside, prejudices disappear, truth
assorts itself.
"In England this process has been going
on for over two centuries and a half, with
What result Cromwell's statue stands as
proof. "We live In another age and a dif
ferent environment; and, as 50 years of
Europe out-measure In their growth a
cycle of Cathay, so I hold one year of
20th-century America works more progress
in thought than 37 years of Britain during
the Interval between Its great rebellion
and ours. We who took active part in
the Civil War have not yet wholly van
ished from the stage; the rear guard of
the Grand Army, we linger. Today is sep
arated from the death of Lincoln by the
same number of years only which separated
'the glorious revolution of 1BSS' from the
oxecution of Charles Stuart; yet to us Is
already given to look back on the events
of which we were a part with the same
perspective effects with which the Victo
rian Englishman looks back on the men
and events of the commonwealth. '
Statue for Robert E. Lee.
"I propose on this occasion to do so;
and reverting to my text. 'Shall Cromwell
Have a Statue?' and reading that text in
the gloss of Carlyle's 'Latter-Day Pamph
let' utterance, I quote you Horace's famil
iar precept:
Mutato nomine, de te
Fabula narratur.
and ask abruptly: 'Shall Robert E. Lee
have a statue? I propose also to offer to
your consideration some reasons why he
should, and, assuredly, will have one. If
not now, then presently.
"Shortly after Lee's death. In October,
1S78, leave was asked in the United States
Senate by Mr. McCreery. of Kentucky, to
Introduce a joint resolution providing for
the return of the estate and mansion of
Arlington to the family of the deceased
Confederate Commander-in-Chief. In view
of the use which had then already been
made of Arlington as a military cemetery,
this proposal. Involving, as it necessarily
did, a removal of the dead, naturally led
to warm debate. The proposition was one
not to be considered. If a defect in the
title of the overnment existed, it must in
Eome way be cured, as, subsequentlv, it
was cured. But I call attention to the de
bate because Charles Sumner, then a Sen
ator -from Massachusetts, participated in
it, using the following language:
" 'Eloquent Senators have already char
acterized the proposition and the traitor
it seeks to commemorate. I am not dis
posed to speak of General Lee. It Is
enough to say he stands high in the cata
logue of those who have imbrued their
Hands In their country's blood. I hand
him over to the avenging pen of history.'
"This was when Lee had been just two
.months dead; but, three-quarters of a
century after the Protector's 6kull had
been removed from over the roof of West
minster Hall, Pope wrote in similar spirit:
See Cromwell, damn'd to everlasting: fame,
"And 1G years later, four-fifths of a cen
tury after Cromwell's dlsentombment at
Westminster and reburial at Tyburn a
poIod from the death of Lee equal to
that which will have elapsed In 1950, Gray
wrote of the Stoke Pogis Churchyard
Some mute Inglorious Milton here may rest.
Some Cromwell guiltless of his country's blood.
"And now, a century and a half later,
Cromwell's statue looms defiantly up in
front of the Parliament House. When,
therefore, an appeal Is In such cases made
to the avenging pen of history, it Is -well
to, bear this Instance in mind, while re
calling perchance that other line of a
greater than Pope, or Gray, or Sumner
Thus the whirligig of time brings In his re
venges. "Was, then, Robert E. Lee a 'traitor'
was he also guilty of his 'country's blood?'
These questions I propose now to discuss.
I am one of these who in other days
was arrayed in the ranks which confront
ed Lee; one of those whom Lee baffled
and boat, but who finally baffled and beat
Lee. As one thus formerly ' lined up
against him, these questions I propose to
discuss in the calmer and cooler and alto
gether more reasonable light which comes
to most men when a whole generation of
the human race lies burled between them
and the issues and actors upon which we
undertake to pass.
"Was Robert E. Lee a traitor? Tech
nically. I think he was Indisputably a trai
tor to the United States, for a traitor, as
I understand it technically. Is one guilty
of the crime of treason; or, as the Cen
tury Dictionary puts it. violating his alle
giance to the chief authority of the state;
while treason against the United States
is specifically defined in the Constitution
as 'levying war' against it, or 'clvimj
their 'enemies aid and comfort.' That
Robert E. Lee did levy war against the
United States can, I suppose, no more be
denied than that ho gave "aid and com
fort to its onemies. This technically,
but in history there is treason and trea
son, as there are traitors and traitors.
"And, furthermore If Robert E. Lee
was a traitor, so also and indisputably
were George Washington, Oliver Crom
well, John Hampden and William of Or
ange. The list might be extended indefi
nitely. But these will suffice. There can
be no question that every one of those
named violated his allegiance, and gave
aid and comfort to the enemies of his sov
ereign. "Wnnlilnsrtois, a Precedent.
"Washington furnishes a precedent at
every point. A Virginian like Lee, he was
also a British subject; he had fought un
der the British flag, as Lee had fought
under that of the United States; when, in
1776. Virginia seceded from the British
Empire, he went with his state, just as
Lee went with it 5 years later; subse
quently Washington commanded armies
in the field designated by those opposed
to them as 'rebels,' and whose descend
ants now glorify them ao the rebels of
'76, much as Lee later commanded, and
at last surrendered, much larger armies,
also designated 'rebels' by those they con
fronted. "Except in their outcome, the cases
were, therefore, precisely alike; and logic
Is logic It consequently appears to fol
low that If Lee was a traitor, Washington
was also. It is unneccesary to Institute
similar comparisons with Cromwell,
Hampden and William of Orange. No de
fense can In their cases be made. Tech
nically, one and all, they undeniably were
traitors.
Framers of Constitution.
"Moreover, what availed the views or
intentions of the framers of the Constitu
tion? What mattered It In 1S00 whether
they, in 17S7, contemplated a Nation or
only a more compact federation of sov
ereign states? Realities have an unpleas
ant way of assorting their existence. How
ever it may have been in 1SS. In 1EC0 a
Nation had grown into existence. Its
peaceful dismemberment was Impossible.
The complex system of tissues and liga
ments, the growth of 7 years, could not
be gently taken apart without wound or
hurt; the separation, if separation there
was to 'be. Involved a tearing asunder,
supplementing a liberal use of the knife.
Their professions to the contrary notwith
standing, this the Southern leaders failed
not to realize.
"In point of fact thorefore, believing
fully In the abstract legality of secession
and the justice and sufficiency of the
grounds on which they acted, their appeal
was to the Inalienable right of revolution;
and to that might by which alone the
right could be upheld. Let us put casuistry,
metaphysics and sentiment aside, and
come to actualities. The secessionist re
course in 1S1 was to the sword; and to the
sword it was meant to have recourse.
"That the leaders In secession were men
with large views, and that they had ma
tured a comprehensive policy as the ulti
mate outcome of their movement I enter
tain no doubt. They looked unquestion
ably to an easy military success, and the
complete establishment of their Confed
eracy; more remotely, there can be no
question, they contemplated a policy ot
extension, and the establishment along
the 6horcs of the Gulf of Mexico and In
the Antilles of a great semi-tropical,
slave-labor republic; finally, all my Inves
tigations have tended to satisfy me that
they confidently anticipated an early dis
integration of the Union, and the acces
sion of the bulk of the Northern States
to the Confederacy, New England only
being sternly excluded therefrom
'sloughed off," as they expressed it.
" 'Secession is not Intended to break up
the present Government, but to perpetuate
it We go out of the Union, not to destroy
It, but for the purpose of getting further
guarantees and security' this was said in
January. 1SCL and this in 1900 'And so we
believe that, with the success of the South,
the Union of the Fathers, which the South
was the principal factor In forming, and
to which she was far more attached than
the North, would have been restored and
re-established; that in this Union the
South would have been again the domi
nant people, the controlling power.
"Conceding the necessary premises of
fact and law a somewhat considerable
concession, but perhaps conceivable con
ceding these, I see In this position, then
or now. nothing illogical, nothing provoca
tive of severe criticism, certainly nothing
treasonable. Acting on sufficient grounds
of which those thus acting were the sole
judge, proceeding In a way Indisputably
legal and regular. It was proposed to re
construct the Union In the light of ex
perience, and on a new and, as they con
sidered, an Improved basis, without New
England. This cannot properly be termed
a conspiracy; It was a legitimate policy
based on certain assumed data, " legal,
moral and economical."
Virginia' "War Attitude.
Continuing, Mr. Adams said that there
was in Virginia's attitude during the -war
much that appealed to the sense of the
chlvalrlc The slave in Virginia was not
a mere transferable chattel. To a large
extent he was attached to the soil and
the house. This fact, the speaker said,
had a direct bearing on the moral Issue.
Virginia did not take its place in the se
cession movement because of the election
of an anti-slavery President or from mere
love of any peculiar Institution.
"Virginia," said the speaker, "made
state sovereignty an article a cardinal
article of its political creed. So, logically
and consistently, it took the position that,
though It might be unwise for a state to
secede, a state which did secede could not
and should not be coerced.
"To us now this nosltion seems worse
than illogical; it is Impossible. So'events
proved it. Tet, after all. It Is based on the
great fundamental principle of the con
sent of the governed."
Three names, Mr. Adams said, are Im
pressed on the military record of the Civil
War Wlnfield Scott, George Henry
Thomas, and Robert Edward Lee. Of the
three, the first two stood by the flag; the
third went with his state. Mr. Adams
gave credit for equal conscientiousness
In his decision, but each of them, he said,
while to a degree a free agent, to a much
greater degree was the child of anterior
conditions.
Lee Trne to His State.
"Lee," continued the speaker, "indulged
In no self-deception wandered away from
the path In no cloud of political triumph.
"Secession, as he wrote to his son, Ms
nothing but revolution. The framers of
our Constitution never exhausted so much
labor, wisdom, and forbearance In ito
formation, and surrounded it with 60
many guards and securities, if it was in
tended to be broken by every member of
the Confederacy at wilU It is idle to talk
of secession.'
"But he also believed that his personal
allegiance was due to 'Virginia; that her
secession, though revolutionary, bound
all Virginians and ended their connection
with and duties to the National Govern
ment. Thereafter, to remain in the
United States Army would be treason
to Virginia, So two days after Virginia
passed its ordinance he, bolng then at Ar
lington, resigned his commission, at the
same time writing to his sister, the wife
of a Union officer:
" 'We are now in a state of war which
will yield to nothing. The whole South is
In a state of revolution, Into which Vir
ginia, after a long struggle, has been
drawn; and, though I recognise no neces
sity for this state of things, and would
have forborne and pleaded to the end for
redress of grievances, real or supposed,
yet In my own person I had to meet the
1 question whether I should tako part
against my native state. With all my de
votion to the Union, and the feeling of
loyalty and duty of an American citizen,
I have not been able to make up my
mind to raise my hand against my rela
tives, my children, my home. I have,
therefore, resigned my commission In the
Army, and save in defense of my native'
state, I hope I may never be called on
to draw my sword.'
"Two days before he had been unre-.
servedly tendered, on behalf of President
Lincoln, the command of'the Union Army
then Immediately to be put in the field
in front of Washington the command
shortly afterward held by General Mc
Dowell. "What otherwise did George Washing
ton do under circumstances not dissim
ilar? What would he have done under
circumstances wholly similar? Like Lee,
Washington was a soldier: like Lee, he
was a Virginian before he was a soldier.
He had served under King George's flag;
he had sworn allegiance to King George;
his ambition had been to hold the royal
commission. Presently Virginia seceded
from the British Empire renounced Its
allegiance. What did Washington do?
He threw in his lot with his native pro
vince. Do you hold him then to have
been a traitor, to have been false to his
colors? Such is not the verdict of his
tory. "Confronted with ' the question, 'What
would I have done in 1SS1 had positions
been reversed and Massachusetts taken
the course then taken by Virginia?' I
found the answer already recorded. I
would have gone with the Union, and
against Massachusetts. None the less,
I hold Massachusetts estopped In the case
of Lee. 'Le the galled Jade wince, our
withers are unwrung ; but, I submit,
however it anight be with me or mine,
it does not He in the mouths of the
descendants of the New England Federalists-
of the first two decennials of the
nineteenth century to invoke 'the aveng
ing pen of history' to record an adverse
verdict In the case of any son of Vir
ginia who threw in his lot with his state
in 1ESL"
Judgment Agntnut Confederate.
In rendering a verdict upon those who
sided with the Confederacy, Mr. Adams
said It should be given in accordance
with the facts, and each individual should
bo Judged on his own merits and not
condemned en bloc
' The Englishman of today, he said, does
not apply to Cromwell 'the standard of
loyalty or treason, of right and wrong,
applied after the Restoration: nor does
the twentieth century confirm the nine
teenth century's verdicts. Even slavery,
he said, we may come to regard as a
phase, pardonable as passing, in the
evolution of a race.
Mr. Adams' conclusion was as follows:
"I hold It will certainly be so with our
Civil War. The year 1555 will look upon
Its causes. Its Incidents, and Its men with
different eyes from those which we see
them now eyes wholly different from
those with which we saw 40 years ago.
They for we by that time will have re
joined the generation to which we be
longed will recognize th'e somewhat
essential fact, indubitably true, that all
the honest conviction, all the loyalty, all
the patriotic devotion and self-sacrifice,
were not then any more than all the
courage on the victor's side. True! the
moral right, the spirit of nationality, the
sacred cause of humanity even, were on
our side; but among those opposed, and
who in the end went down, were men not
less sincere, not less devoted, not less
truly patriotic according to their lights,
than he who among us was first in all
those qualities. Men of whom it was
and Is a cause of pride and confidence to
say: 'They, too, were countrymen!'
General lite n Type.
"Typical of those men most typical
was Lee. He represented. Individualized,
all that was highest and best ' in the
Southern mind and the Confederate
cause the loyalty to state, the keen
sense of honor and personal obligation,
the slightly archaic, the almost patri
archal, love of dependent, family and
home. As I have more than once said,
he was a Virginian of the Virginians. He
represents a type which is gone hardly
less extinct than that of the great Eng
lish nobleman of the feudal times, or the
ideal head of the Scotch clan of a later
period; but just so long as men admire
courage, devotion, patriotism, the high
sense of duty and personal honor all in
a word which go to make up what we
know as character Just so long will that
type of man bo held In affectionate, rev
erential memory. They have in them all
the elements of the heroic
"As Carlyle wrote more than Waif a
century ago, so now 'Whom do you wish
to resemble? Him you set on a high
column. Who Is to have a statue? means,
Whom shall wc consecrate and set apart
as one of our sacred men? Sacred; that
all men may see him, be reminded of him,
and, by new example, added to old -perpetual
precept, be taught what is real
worth in man. Show me the man you
honor; I know by that symptom, better
than by any other, what kind of man you
yourself are. For you show me there
what; your Ideal of manhood Is? what kind
of man you long Inexpressibly to be, and
would thank the gods, with your whole
soul, for being If you could.'
"It is all a question of time; and the
time is, probably, not quite yet. The
wounds of the great war are not altogeth
er healed, lt3 personal memories are still
fresh, its passions not wholly allayed. It
would, indeed, be a wonder If they were.
But I am as convinced as an unlllumined
man can be of anything future, that
when such time docs come, a Justice not
done now will be done to those descend
ants of Washington, of Jefferson, of Rut-
ledge, and of Lee, who stood opposed to
us In a succeeding generation.
"That the National spirit is now su
preme and the Nation cemented. I hold
to be unquestionable. That property In
man has vanished from the civilized
world is due to our Civil War. The two
are worth the great price then paid for
them. But wrong as he may have been,
and as he was proved by events in these
respects, the Confederate had many great
and generous qualities; he also was
brave, chivalrous, self-sacrificing, sincere
and patriotic So I look forward with
confidence to the time when they, too,
will be represented In our National pan
theon. Then the query will be answered
here, as the query In regard to Crom
well's statue put 60 years ago has recent
ly been answered In England.
"The bronze effigy of Robert E. Lee,
mounted on his charger and with the In
signia of his Confederate rank, will from
its' pedestal in the Nation's Capitol look
across the Potomac at his old home at
Arlington, even as that of Cromwell dom
inates the yard of Westminster, upon
which his Bkull once looked down. When
that time comes Lee's monument will be
educatlonal-lt will typify the historical
appreciation of all that goes to make up
the loftiest type of character, military
and civic, exemplified In an opponent,
once dreaded but ever respected, and
above all, it will symbolize and commem
orate that loyal acceptance of the conse
quences of defeat, and the patient up
building of a people under new condi
tions by constitutional means, which I
hold to be the greatest educational les
son America has yet taught to a onco
skeptical but now silenced world."

INDRASAHMA IS EN ROUTE!
XBW PORTLAND fc ASIATIC LIXER
HAS SAILED FROM YOKOHAMA.
North Pacific Oriental Liner Sail
From Tncoma With Less Than
200 Tons of Cargo.
The mammoth Indrasahma, the largest
steamship in the service of the Portland
& Asiatic Steamship Company, sailed
from Yokohama for this port Wednesday,
and will reach Portland about July 13.
She has about 5000 tons of Inward cargo
and a large number of Oriental passen
gers for Victoria, at which port she will
call before coming to Portland. The In
drasahma is in command of Captain
Charles Craven, a brother of Captain W.
E. Craven, of the Indravelll. Like his
genial brother of the Indravelll, who Is
senior master of the fleet. Captain Cra
ven, of the Indrasahma, Is a Royal Na
val Reserve man, and has-een service
all over the world. The Indrasahma fol
lows the Indrapura. now in purt, and will
take out a slightly larger cargo than Is
being loaded by that vessel.
Trans-Paclflc business is very light at
present, but the Indrapura will go out
with about 4000 tons of flour, cotton, lum
ber, etc In spite of the slack business
the Portland & Asiatic Line has man
aged to get its liners out without less
than half a cargo most of the time, and
until the past few months has had them
running full, but the Pugct Sound lines
have not been faring so well. One of the
Marus sailing from Seattle Is reported to
have sailed with but 250 tons of freight,
and it was thought that this was about
the limit for small cargoes, but the North
ern Pacific liner Victoria, which sailed
from Tacoma Thursday, came very near
to cutting the Agures on the Moru cargo
in two, for according to the freight list
printed in the Tacoma papers there was
less than 2C0 tons of freight on board, and
the steamer was obliged to take aboard
several hundred tons of coal for ballast.
The value of the Victoria's cargo was
but 525,000. and It was made, up of two
typewriters, 00 bales of sheetings, seven
crates of window blinds, 30 tons of dried
fish and 24.000 feet of lumber and U75 bar
rels of flour. The freight paid on this
cargo was less than ?1000, and the ex
penses of the ship for the Voyage to
Hong Kong will run well up toward $10,
000. Tacoma and Seattle, as well as Portt
land, are fortunate In having their lines
in the hands of companies sufficiently
strong to meet a drain of this kind with
out interrupting the service.
THE JAPAN SEAL CATCH.
Victoria Schooners Meeting: With
Succcs Across the Pacific.
The high prices quoted for sealskins
this season, together with fair catches,
promise quite a profitable season for the
Victoria schooners which have crossed
the Pacific The Colonist of June 26 has
the following regarding the catch to date:
"Another of the fleet of five schooners
hunting oft the Japan coast has been re
ported, the Florence M. Smith having ar
rived at Hakodate with 650 pelts. This
news was given in a cablegram received
by the Victoria Sealing Company yester
day morning. This makes a total of 2675
skins taken by the four schooners report
ed to date, and the Dora Steward has not
yet been heard from. The Geneva Is the
top-liner to date, she 'having taken S40
skins, the Director 620 and the Triumph
465. Five in all are hunting off the Japan
coast, and seven others are hunting off
the Copper Islands. The Japan fleet will
go to the Copper Island grounds after
leaving the Japanese waters.
"The schooner George W. Prescott,
which was refused a license on the ground
thit United States citizens who are de
barred from sealing were alleged to be
interested In her ownership, has- received
her license. Yesterday morning Collector
of Customs A. R. Milne received instruc
tions from Ottawa to grant a license to
the schooner. This action was' taken as a
result of the representations of the
schooner's owners and agent, to show
that none other than Canadians were in
terested in the vessel. The Prescott is
now lying at her wharf In the upper har
bor, and will bo made ready for her
cruise to the Behrlng Sea. She will be
the 22d schooner of the Behrlng Sea fleet.
Three others are still to sail, alL waiting
for crews.
YCKOX STEAMBOATS.
Number of Stern-wheelers Plying Be
tween Dawson and White Horse.
Advices from the North brought down
by the last steamer from Skagway report
the following movements of the Yukon
River fleet above Dawson:
The steamer Canadian arrived at White
Horse from Dawson on the 17th, with the
banner passenger list of the season. She
sailed on the return trip next morning.
The cattle steamer Bonanza King arrived
at White Horse on the 18th, and the
Mary Graff the day afterwards. The
steamers Dawson, Columbian and Mary
Graff left White Horse for Dawson last
Saturday. The Dawson and Columbian
are passenger steamers and the Mary
Graff .carried freight only. The Colum
bian Is also a cold-storage boat The
Bailey sailed for Big Salmon on the 20th,
on the first trip of the season. The Vic
torian passed Five Fingers on themorn
ing of the 19th, coming up-stream. The
Sybil passed Upper LaBarge going down
stream the same day. The Bonanza King
left White Horse on the 19th for Daw
son. The river stood at 22 inches above
low water at White Horse on the. 20th.
The Selkirk, Nora and Casca arrived at
White Horse on the 15th from Dawson.
The Selkirk, the last in, had 45 passen
gers. 'There were about 120 to arrive on
the three boats. The Nora sailed for Daw
son on the 17th.
THE FORERIC'S CHARTER.
Big Freighter 'Will Enter the Canadian-Australian
Service.
The steamship Forerlc, one of Andrew
Weir's liners, which recently loaded lum
ber at Portland for the Orient, has been
chartered by the Canadian Pacific as an
extra steamer for their Canadian-Australian
line. She is on a time charter and
will probably make several trips as a
freight boat to accommodate the increas
ing business of the line. In commenting
pn the charter of the vessel the Van
couver Province says:
"The Forerlc will arrive here about the
middle of next month, and will sail early
in August, cr possibly prior to then, with
a general cargo for Australia, Including
heavy shipments of flour, of which large
quantities are being Imported into Aus
tralia as a result of the extended drouth
In the interior and northern wheat-growing
districts of Australia.
"On her return voyage from Sydney, the
Forerlc will call at Suva and load raw
FIJI sugar for the British Columbia Sugar
Refinery. Outward bound from this port
again she will take flour and general car
go. Bookings for space on the steamer
are rapidly filling up. It is altogether
probable that the Forerlc will make sev
eral trips on the Canadian-Australian
route"
SHIPS STILL MISSING.
No Tidings From the Portland,
Jeanie or Thetis.
SEATTLE. June 27. The steamship Roa.
noke. Captain H. P. Weaver, arrived from
Nome at 10:15 this morning. The Roanoke
left Nome the afternon of June IS. At
that time no tidings had been received of
the steamer Portland or the Jeanle, and
both vessels are now believed to be Ioft.
At Nome it Is generally accepted that the
Portland has been swept lar into the Arc
tic Sea.
Captain Weaver also reporte that noth
inK had been, heard from the revenue cut-
1 ter ThetU when be left Nome. That vea-
sel had at that time been two weeks in
pursuit of the Portland. The vessels in
port when the Roanoke left were: Val
encia, Indiana, Centennial, Garonne, Ell
in Thompson, Newsboy and the Oregon.
The steamship Senator was still in quar
antine. The steamer Dora, of the North
ern Commercial Company, which had been
sent North In the effort to succor the
Portland, returned to Nome June 17, hav
ing given" up all hope of finding the un
fortunate vessel.
The Roanoke brought down 5100,000 In
goldduet, and reports a pleasant voyage.
POOL IS UNSATISFACTORY.
Ontslde Ports Will Not Submit to
Kerr Yoyk Domination.
NEW YORK. June 27. A decided dif
ference of opinion that promises to de
velop Into warfare may be said to exist
between steamship Interests at New York
and those at the out ports. In regard to
the working of the recent modification
of the foreign rate pool, cays the Jour
nal of Commerce. This modification pro
vided for charging a higher rate at thn
out ports than at New York, a rate suffi
cient to counteract the lower railroad
rates from the Interior enjoyed by the
out ports. A rumor Is current that a
substantial increase In ocean freight rates
Is In process of negotiation, but whether
the present arrangement will hold the
ground until a new one Is promulgated
Is a matter on which considerable doubt
is expressed In local freight circles.
The chief trouble seems to be what
may be termed the complete absence of
faith entertained by the lines of any
port in regard to the honest observance
of the terms of agreement by lines of all
other ports.
NO "WORD FROM PORTLAND.
Fears Norr Entertained for Boat
Looking for Icc-Boand Craft.
PORT TOWNSEND. Wash., June 27.
Two steamers arrived today from Nome,
the Roanoke this morning and the Valen
cia at 8 o'clock this evening. Both boats
report that no word had been received at
Nome of the steamers Portland and
Jeanle, and grave fears are entertained
that they have met with mishap.
The United States revenue cutter Thetis,
which went to search for the Portland, had
not returned to Nome when the Valencia
sailed, and rumors for her safety were be
ginning to be circulated.
Deccan for South Africa.
The British ship Deccan, which Involved
a couple of prominent members of the
shipping fraternity in this city In a scan
dal of pretty big proportions two years
ago, has just finished loading a cargo of
wheat and flour at Tacoma for South
Africa. She was dispatched by the Port
land Flouring Mills Company for East
London direct, and carries 19,250 barrels of
flour and 55,462 bushels of wheat. The
Deccan still has the deck which was con
demned and ordered out of the ship when
she was In Portland two years ago, and
Captain Barrett says It will last 10 years
longer If the owners use good judgment
In selecting agents or charterers for the
vessel. The Durbrldge, another old-timer
well known in Portland, has just com
pleted a cargo at Tacoma for Cape Town.
She takes a full cargo of bluestem for
Kerr, Glfford & Co., of this city. Captain
McLaughlin Is still In command' of the
vessel, and on his Inward voyage broke
the record between Shanghai and Royal
Roads.
Raising the Gray Eagle.
OREGON CITY, Or., June 27. The work
of raising the steamer Gray Eagle, which
ran on a rock above Clackamas Rapids
W.ednesday night, has been temporarily
abandoned. The aid of the steamer N. R.
Lang was enlisted today, but without
avail. The pumps that have been used
are too small to accomplish anything.
There Is a large hole In the bottom of the
boat. The Oregon City Transportation
Company sent to Portland today for a
large force pump, and upon Its arrival
tomorrow work will be resumed- With
the pumps that have been used the boat
would settle as fast as a little water was
pumped out. The Albany Is on the Portland-Oregon
City run today.
