Company.
The British ship Carmanian, which is
loading wheat and barley at San Fran
cisco for Melbourne, .early In the season
carried a. cargo of lumber from the Baltic

ter from Adelaide to England. Her cargo
was aboard and the ship ready to sail
when the shortage in the Australian crop
became fully apparent and prices jumped
skyward. The charterers canceled the
charter, paid the freight, unloaded the
cargo and sold it, and made a handsome
profit from the deal.

Robb. The vessel arrived in from Ham
burg, on Saturday, and failed . to bring
the consular bills of health as required
by law. Captain McCully did not plead
ignorance of, the law as an excuse, but
said he left the matter of clearing the
ship wholly to the agents, who handed
him what he supposed were all the pa

Treasury Department and as Is usual In
such cases the fine will probably be mit

PANAMA AND THE CANAL
Over a Hundred Conl Cargoes.
The Journal of Commerce estimates that
over 100 steamships have been chartered
in England to bring coal to this country.
It gives a list of about 90 of these char
ters, of which more than 40 vessels are
to bring coal to Boston. It is estimated
that the cargoes will average, about 4000
tons, or in excess of 150,000 tons to arrive
before the end of November. This great
influx of steamships is demoralizing the
outward freight market. A charter is
noted of a steamship from Boston with
175.000 bushels of grain for Hamburg at
the lowest rate upon record. Even lower
rates are feared as the arrivals of the
extra steamships increase.
Adventures of a "Whaler.
SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 10. The whaler

The Bowhead reports that the steam
whaler William Baylies is en route to
San Francisco. On board the Baylies Is
the crew of the whaling schooner Penel
ope, which sailed from this port nearly
ihrce years ago with a crew of six. After
accumulating a cargo worth $30,000 the lit
tle vessel struck an iceberg and was ren
dered unfit for service. Her cargo was
transferred to other whalers, and the
schooner, which was formerly a pleasure
craft at San Diego, was sold to natives
for bone and skins.
Towlioat Kept Busy.
The towboat Ocklahama had a lively day
of It yesterday. She arrived up In the
morning after towing a ship to Astoria,
and was at once put to work making har
bor moves. First she shifted the Clan
Galbraith from Weldler's dock to the Oce
anic dock, and then moved the little bark
Ingeborg from Montgomery No. 1 also to

from Albers' dock across to the flouring
mill. In the afternoon the steamer left

Disposition of Money Received by
Government for Concession.
NEW YORK. Nov. 10. El Mcrcurio, a
newspaper of this city, lately has been
publishing a series of .Interesting articles
regarding the different phases of the ca
nal question, cables the Panama, Colom
bia, correspondent of the Herald. In a
recent issue, referring' to the Panama Ca
nal Company's titles, it says:
"It being our most earnest wish that the
new Panama Canal Company should, be
able to present its titles c'.car and trans
fer to the United States Its privileges,
rights and properties on the Isthmus with
out any embarrassing lcsal impediments,
we think it advisable that it should settle
and cancel as ?oon as possible all pending
suits here, especially in these casc6, where
the company already has been condemned
In several Instances- by the local courts
and the jupreii.t tribunal of Bogota to pay
amounts due based on previous judgments.
"Attention Is also ca)led to the embar
goed buildings in thlfi city, the principal
one of which, where the company has its
main offices, has been In the hands of a
receiver for several months past. All
I embargoed property here could be released
on payment by the company,in full of tne
amounts due to local creditors."
Rcgaicn:? Isthmian rights, El Mercurlo
observes:
"In view of the abcv.e considerations we
would seriously call the attention of our
government that In the -event of the. pres
ent treaty under discussion vritli us for
the opening of the canal being finally
signed and ratified, it should be clearly
stated therein that at least 10 per cent of
all amounts that will be advanced on ac
count of concessions and privileges grant
ed by Colombia should be handed to the
Isthmian local government for the con
struction and maintenance of public works.
These works are urgently needed: Aque
ducts, hospitals, lazarettos, a sanltarlun:
for quarantine patients, public roads." etc"
The observations of El Mercurlo are the
general . Isthmian sentiments regarding
what the residents consider to bo just de
mands, and which Minister Concha's pred
ecessor. Dr. Martinez-Silva, strongly ad
vocated and stipulated In .the original
draft of the preliminary negotiations,
which appear, hov.-ever, to have been elimi
nated In the subsequent treaty documents.

PLEASED WITH OREGON.
Colonel Richardson, of Department
of Agrrlcnlture, Writes.
Colonel R. W. Richardson, of the De
partment of Agriculture, whb attended
the recent good roads , convention in
Portland, apparently carried away a
pleasant Impression of this state. Writ
ing from Omaha to General Passenger
Agent Craig, of the O. R. & N.. Colonel
Richardson said: .
I take this opportunity to tell you how much
I enjoyed my recent visit to Oregon and of
my pleafant impressions of that splendid state.
After a lone ride across the brown, searea
plains and buttes of the Central West, one
cannot measure .the dellsht of the winding
ways through "the verdure-clad Cascades,
plunglnjr into the wide magnificence of the
Columbia and nndlns peace and plenty in the
beautiful Valley of the Willamette.
Oregon surpassed .my expectations. "World's
Fair Commissioners Oosch and Wetherred and
others had told of Its wonderful resources and
possibilities, but I made liberal discount for
their enthusiasm
Oregon combines many favorable conditions
for its people and for the sttler who Is seek
ing a home. Its timber, mineral, agricultural
and horticultural resources are unexcelled.
Her valleyn are rich In soil: her sun-kissed
slopes and mountain sides clothed with nutri
tious grasses and mellow, and sweet with
fruits and flowers; her streams qlear and
deep, bountiful with fish a no small considera
tion In her natural resources. Her cities anu
towns are substantially built, up to date and
busy with the hum of Industry and commerce.
comparing most favorably with those of the
East and of the Middle West. Her people are
wldo awake, broad, generous and hospitable,
giving a warm welcome to the Btranger and
homeseeker
commerce of the world. Her railroads are
equal to those of any state In the Union In
proportion to mileage, equipment and manage
ment: thev are loyal and devoted to her In
terests and the cnie,i lactors in ucr uccuy-
tnent.
In fact, all her ways are to be commended
except her highways, which now promise to be
Improved.
If a stranger of the experience and op
portunities of Colonel Richardson was so
favorably impressed with Oregon. Mr.
Craig believes others will be, and this
is the ground of his faith that great
crowth Is coming to the state. A new In

THAT TRAFFIC ALLIANCE.
Union Pacific With St. Paul and
Northwestern.
Wall Street Journal.
There have been reports lately to the
effect that the traffic alliance between
the Union Pacific and St. Paul gave the
St. Paul company advantages over
Northwestern. We have stated that
these reports were untrue, but are now
able to add that while arrangements at
the .moment are slightly in favor of
Northwestern, the Intention Is that St
Paul and Northwestern shall stand in
exactly similar relations to Union Pa
cific. Each company is to have exactly
the same right over Union Pacific lines
and Union Pacific Is to have exactly the
same right over St, Paul and Northwest
ern. The purpose is that St. Paul and
Northwestern shall have facilities over
Union Pacific substantially equal to those
which they would have over their own
lines if built to the Coast, while Union
Pacific Is to have approximately the fa
cilities by either line east of Omaha that
It would have if It owned the lines of
both St. Paul and Northwestern. The
fundamental Idea Is that neither St. Paul
nor Northwestern shall have any Induce
ment to build to the Pacific Coast, and
that Union Pacific shall have neither In
ducement aior opportunity to ally Itself
with any other line or lines east of
Omaha.

appeared to be understood that several
Councllmen did not attend for the reason
that such invitations had not been issued,
and the conference had to get along with
the presiding officers of the executive and
legislative branches of the public bodies.
The only real business which came be
fore the meeting was the mooted question
of the Portland Railway Company ex
changing Its present franchises for a
blanket franchise of 23 years; covering the
streets over which the company's lines
now run. The representatives of the city
thought the exchange would be for the
best Interests of all. but Mr. Paxton and
Mr. Frllcr held a different opinion. They
could not see whereby they would be ben-

RAILROAD ENDS REVOLUTIONS.
Track Now Completed Between San

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Nov. 10-Several
of the officials of the Central Railroad

point the road has been completed that
connects Santiago and Havana by rail.
Superintendent Ward says the roadbed Is
not in good condition, but thousands of
men are at work ballasting. The comple

achievement of American enterprise and
makes future revolutions practically impossible.
