Europe Marine Note.
The Italian ship Cresslngton. with gen
eral cargo from Antwerp In W. R. Grace
& Co.'s regular line to Portland, and the
French ship Europe with cement from
Hamburg to Edmund Baker, are the lit
est additions to the list of vessels en
route for this port with cargo. This
makes a fleet of a cargo ships now head
ed for Portland, with a total earning
capacity of over 60.00 tons. Exclusive
of this cargo fleet, there are but four
other grain vessels listed to arrive in
Portland, the percentage of cargo ton
nage now headed Tor this city being
greater than ever before. Ships carry
outward cargo at much lower rates than
are demanded when they roust make the
voyage one way In ballast, and a number
of the vessels now listed for Portland
have been chartered for the round trip,
receiving the small end of the full rate
paid for the outward cargo, and the
larger portion for the grain freight out
ward from Portland. The Europe Is a
pretty well-known vessel In this port,
having made three trips here. The Cres
slngton has never yet visited Portland,
although she has loaded on Puget Sound
and at San Francisco while flying the
British flag, her owners disposing of her
to the Italians a few years ago.
The Antwerp fleet for Portland leads
all others, the Cresslngton making a to
tal of seven vessels now headed from the
Belgium port for Portland. They are the
Andre Thedore. Berangere. Condor. Cres
slngton. Marechal de Turenne. Saxon and
Longdate. Hamburg Is next In import
ance with four ships, the Nauarchos,
Port Patrick. Professor Koch and Eu
rope. The remainder of the fleet comes
as follows: From Newcastle-on-Tyne
Dunslaw. La Brueyre and 'Windsor Park.
From Newcastle, N. S. W. Red Rock and
Beechdale. From London Admiral Hal
gen ami Nlnfa. From Rotterdam Ar
dencrnlg. From Glasgow Almedla. From
Shields Grand Duchess Olga. From
Swansea Montcalm. Nearly all of these
ships will be along early In the Fall, and
In the work of discharging inward car
goes will liven up the waterfront at a
period when It usually Is Inclined to be
quiet, preliminary to the active opening
of the grain season.
MADE A FLYING PASSAGE.
German Ilnrk Adolf Sailed From Co
Iiimlila to Europe In 107 Days.
The German ship Adolf has carried off
the honors for the fastest passage of
the season between Portland and the
United Kingdom. She arrived out at Fal
mouth last week after a passage of 107
days. This Is not a record passage, but
It Is so much better than anything that
Jiaa yet been heard of this season that
It Is noteworthy. There are 10 December
ships that hare not yet reported out at
Queenstown. and some of them are pretty
fast travelers, but slow passages this
season are the rule, and there Is not
much to be expected from the fleet still
on the way. Nearly all of the ships clear
ing since January 1 have sailed for South
Africa or Australia, and less Interest is
shown in the passages of these ships
than Is felt for those which follow the
beaten track round the Horn to Europe
The German ship Gertrud arrived out
at Queenstown a few days ago, after
a passage of 101 days from Puget Sound.
This Is very close to the record from
Puget Sound, although It has been beaten
nea-ly two weeks from the Columbia
River, the Calthloch. with a passage of
O days, holding the record, and the
Macrlhanlsh, with a 91-day passage, be
ing a good second. The Principality has
made the run in S2 days. -

Scene of Dloodr Sea Traced-.
The British bark Pegasus Is discharging
ballast at the foot of Ankeny street, and
as soon as her lining lt In place will com
mence loading for South Africa. The Pe
gasus is an old-style Iron vessel, and
while of large register is a much poorer
carrier than the modern-built steel ships.
She was the pioneer of the Portland grain
fleet for the season of 1599-1300. and on a
register of MS net. carried less cargo
than some steel ships of H05 tons net
register. On her last outward trip from
Portland the Pegasus was the scene of
a fearful ocean tragedy shortly before
rhe arrived out at England. Two mem
bers of the crew had quarreled several
times after leaving Portland, and when
sailing up the Atlantic one of them
stabbed the other so viciously that he
lived but a few hours. The murderer
was placed In Irons, and on arrival of
the ship at Europe he was turned over
to the police. The stabbing took place
on the deck forward and was over so
quickly that nothing could be done to
prevent it. The murderer was convicted
and sent up for a long term of years.
Overdue Liner Safe.
NEW YORK. April 6. Six days over

EXHIBIT OPENS TONIGHT.
Newspaper Artists to Show, Their
Best Work at the Portland.
The parlors of the Hotel Portland pre
sented an Interesting scene yesterday.
Some S00 sketches, wash drawings and
water-color paintings, covering almost
every Imaginable subject, were hung In
preparation for the first annual exhibition
of the Newspaper Artists League, which
opens this evening at 8 o'clock. The dis
play Is unique, and will undoubtedly be a
success. Several large screens have been
set up on the floor and the pictures have
been arranged thereon and about the walls
to the best possible advantage. The light
ing could not be better, and ample space
la given for patrons and other visitors to
move about the parlors.

other friends of the league. The exhibit
has not only the advantage of novelty,
but It Is highly creditable In point of ar
tistic excellence. Newspaper artists. In a
general way. are supposed to handle black
and white almost exclusively, but the de
velopment of late years In newspaper pro
cess work has made It Incumbent upon
them to study color also. These exhibi
tions throughout the country have proved
of great value to the artists themselves,
stimulating them to better and more am
bitious work. As uwual at such exhibi
tions, the color work will doubtless ab
sorb the attention of visitors at first,
somewhat to the exclusion of the less
brilliant but sometimes more difficult
black and white. However, the pen-and-ink
work, crayon and wash drawings will
attract tho appreciative study of all lovers
of that branch of art. This la naturally
the predominating feature of the exhibit,
and to it each artist has cdntributed his
best.

SPRATT WINS HIS CASE.
Supreme Court Confirms Ills Title to
Covrllts County Land.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU', Wash
ington. April 6. The United States Su
preme Court today decided the suit of
Whitney et aL vs. Pratt In favor of the
latter. By this decision the title of A.
N. Spratt to CO acres of timber land
In Cowlitz County, Wash., is confirmed.
George C Stout, of Portland, appeared
before tho court as Mr. Spratt'a attor
ney. George C Stout, who recently argued
for the defense In the cose of Whitney vs.
Spratt, which Involved the ownership of
a valuable tract of Cowlitz County tim
ber land, received a telegram last even
ing stating he had won.
The dispatch was signed by James Me
Kenney, United States Supreme Court
Clerk.
The suit was begun In the Superior
Court in Cowlitz County In 1SS3. Spratt
purchased the lands from entrymen
under the timber act. after their
final proof, but before patents were
issued. The Land Department subse
quently canceled the entries on no
tice to the original entrymen. but
failed to notify the transferee. Spratt.
Afterward other people made filings on
the lands, and received patents from the
Government. Whitney and others pur
chased from the patentees, and brought
a suit against Spratt to remove the cloud
on the title on account of deeds which
Spratt had recorded. Spratt answered.
setting forth the fact that he had bought
the lands from the original entrymen, and
that he never received any notice from
the Land Department of the cancellation.
He asked that he be declared tho equit
able owner of the lands, and that Whit
ney and others under their patents be ad-
Judged to hold the legal title In trust for
him.
The Superior Court sustained his
contention, and held that the Land De
partment decision cancelling the entries
was erroneous, being based under a mis
construction of the timber and stone act
of June, UTS. and that, as Spratt was not
notified, the action of the Land Depart
ment was not binding. The case was ap
pealed to the Supremo Court of Wash
ington, which affirmed this decision, snd
the matter was then carried to the United
States Supreme Court on a writ of error,
which also afflrmed the decision. T. H.

WATERING THE PRAIRIES
PROGRESS OF IRRIGATION ALOXG
TUB LINES OF O. R. N.
Wonderful Change Wrought by
Ditches In Umatilla Settlers
Developing Reclaimed Land.
Irrigation Is making a wonderful change
In the country through which the Oregon
Railroad & Navigation Company lines
pass. Not only are eagebrash prairies
belntr transformed Into beatlful garden
: spots, but the Influx of new Immigrants
is making the country a thickly populated
1 territory. This transformation has been
I taking place ever since the country was
' first given the water necessary to Induce
crops to grow reauiy.
The new Irrigation ditches near Umatilla
and Baker City have had the best effect.
The Umatilla country has been trans
formed Into a garden spot and hundreds
ofoettlers are taking up land. Within a
comparatively short time It Is expected by
officials of the railroad that this country
NO DANGER
will bo one of the most productive In
Oregon.'
A. L. Craig, general passenger agent of
the O. R. & N., has returned from a trip
over the road, taken for the purpose of
investigating business conditions and
checking up the affairs of the system.
Everywhere he found business conditions
to be of the best and is well pleased with
the showing made by the different sec
tions through which the railroad passes.
There Is a big rush of miners Into the
Imnaha country In Idaho," said Mr. Craig
yesterday. "The miners are going Into
the country by way of Elgin, from which
point the mineral belt Is easily reached.
"Reports of some very good strikes have
come out and there is every prospect of
a successful season. Attention has been
distracted from other mining districts by
tne shewing made in the Imnaha country.
It is expected by the people there that the
season will show a remarkable Increase
in operations and some valuable returns
may be made.
"All along the line of the O. It. & N.
I found business conditions to be good
and the number of newcomers to be con
stantly increasing. The country is being
settled up rapidly, and the story told me
was a serial with prosperity as the theme.
The new irrigation ditch which has
opened up the country in Umatilla County
near Coyote, is certain to make that dis
trict a veritable garden. There Is a hi
demand for lands which are benefited by
uie water ana tne number of settlers has
been increasing rapidly. The lands put
under cultivation make a very good show
ing, ana it is believed by the people of"
the district that this will be one of the
best valleys In Oregon.
I met Mr. TVlnter. the Government en
gineer, who has. been investigating the
possibilities of irrigation in the Butter
Creek country. He Is not yet ready to
maae mi report ana nas turned hte at
tention to a number of other Irrigation
propositions.
"The Irrigation ditch which benefits the,
country lying on" the west side of the com
pany's tracks between Haines and Baker
City has been a thorough success. Water
has been turned on this land and the re
sults have surprised even the friends of
tne proposition, it is predicted that by
the end of the present year all the land in
the district will be under cultivation. The
country was once a sagebrush prairie, but
It is destined to bloesom like the rose.
"There Is prosperity in the mining dis
tricts of Eastern Oregon. The Sumptcr,
Virtue and Cornucopia mining districts are
an showing better returns and the owners
of properties expect the year will show a
big gain In the output.
"The new smelter which Is being built at
Sumpter is expected to be ready for
business by the first of May. Work Is
being pushed on the plant and when com
pleted It will be one of the best in the
inland country.
"The Powder River country Is being
benefited by a new Irrigation ditch and the
district lying beloyr Shoshone in Idaho
is to be Improved by Irrigation. A con
tract has recently been let for tho con
struction of ditches in this country and
the work is to go ahead at once. It la
believed this will result In a vast Increase
In the productive area ot the State of
Idaho."
MAKES TROUBLE FOR THEM.
Weaker Railroads Are Expected to
Protest Attain. t Elklns Lavr.
The "v-cak" lines are expected to have
trouble In meeting conditions that will
arise under the Elklns law. There Is no
possibility ot obtaining concessions from
the strong llnoj. and any question as to
the pooling of business is now Impossible.
This phase of the law's operation was
discussed yesterday by a general officer
of one of the Interested roads, who for
obvious reasons Insists upon remaining
unidentified. He said:
"Tho tendency of the weaker lines to
cut rates is one we have always feared.
It is natural that a road that cannot com
pete on even terms with other lines would
be inclined to offer special Inducements
in the way of rebates to the traveling pub
lic. This has been the custom In the past
and one that we have been compelled to
meet frequently. Especially has this been
true of the St. Paul-Chicago lines where
there are eight railroad systems running
between the two cities.
"There has been discussed at different
times a pooling agreement and conces
sions In the matter of rates. The railroads
have tried to get together on this proposi
tion and at times they have succeeded.
Ultimately some objection was raised and
the weaker lines hare usually broken the
agreement and left matters as they form
erly stood.
"Now tho Elklns law shuts off all such
agreements. Under this act there is no
po.'.-lblUty of cutting rates to meet the
conditions, and under the Sherman act,
of which the Elklns taw Is amendatory. It
his teen held that a pooling agreement Is
not legal So we are forced to put the
weaker lines up against It'
"It there, is any strong- complaint reg
istered against the operation of this law
it la going to come from the weak lines.
They are unable to meet' our competition
on even terms and they are put at a dis
advantage under the act.
"Personally T can. see no valid reason
why we should not make concessions to
these systems, but the Federal Govern
ment has declared we Shan not and I do
not know how we are to get away from
that condition. It Is likely the weak lines,
not only those systems between Chicago
and St. -Paul, but elsewhere throughout
the country, will make a strong protest
against the bill in time. They cannot
afford to allow the act to stand."
Will Explain Oriental Conditions.
General Freight Agent 'Miller, of the
Oregon Railroad & Navigation Company,
accompanied by Allen Cameron. Oriental
representative of the Portland & Asiatic
Steamship Company, left yesterday on
a trip that will probably take them to
Chicago. It Is the intention of the two
men to meet and talk with all the repre
sentatives ofthe O. R. & N. and Union
Pacific Interests In the West. They are
anxious that the conditions in the Far
East shall be explained to all of them
and thai the Interests of the road shall be
protected by making the agents -familiar
with traffic, plans. The two men Intend
to go to Omaha and Chicago, but so far
as Is blown there Is nothing to can them
farther East. In fact, both expect to
return to Portland within a few weeks.
Superintendent O'Brien, of the O. R. & N,
also left the dty yesterday, but his de
parture has no connection with the tour
of the other two officials. Superintendent
O'Brien is merely checking up affairs in
nis department.
Railroad Brevities.
The Gerllnger Railroad, between Dallas
and Falls City, Is well along toward
completion, and it has been decided to
add three miles more of track, carrying
the line well Into the timber beyond Falls
City, before withdrawing construction
forces. This will make the new road 12
miles long and will be ready for opera
tion this Spring.
A nlnc-mlje section of the Oregon
Water Power & Railway line beyond
Gresham will be ready for regular traffic
in about ten days. This will reach to
the new town of Borings, where the
auxiliary power plant will be located.
The big cut south of Gresham is com
pleted and the work of laying- the track
ncross the1 level country beyond will not
consume much time. Every mile of line
opened yields paying traffic.

PROTECTION-CORRUPTION.
Developments of Our Tariff System
"Which Give Food for Thought.
By Prof. John Basconv of Williams College.
Political capacity and political achieve
ment cannot remain widely apart for any
long period. The capacity will Improve
the achievement, or the achievement will
degrade the capacity. Opportunity and
political ability In the United States are
in advance of what has been accom
plished in our civil life. We have institu
tions that have gathered to themselves
much ot the wisdom and much of the
good win of the world, and we have
shown.. both in their formation and in
their development, active and Ingenious
powers. Yet. as a matter of fact, our suc
cess in political life, especially df late
years, has been very partial and disap
pointing, li we use the word "corrup
tion oroaair, as including all the ways
in which the public welfare is subordinat
ed to private Interests, we are becoming
a corrupt people. The pervasive, cohesive
force of our political activities la cor
ruption. There is still a large remainder
or integrity, many public men Influenced
by patriotic motives: but they are im
bedded in the cohesive mass of corrupt
relations, are constantly restrained by it,
and exert but little corrective Influence
over it- Like pebbles in puddlngstone,
our good men are subject to surroundings
which rob them of all freedom.
Our great political parties fight each
otner, win victories over each other, and
trade with each other, in a way that they
are utterly unwilling should come to the
light. Promises remain unfulfilled, and
there Is little profiting by either of them.
They act under leaders notoriously cor
rupt, who cannot be driven from their
position by exposure, and who use the
power they gain to reward their following-.
Laws which make simply for the public
weuaro are ocac urea, delayed, or set aside
by an endless amount of political in
trigue. If they reach the statute-book-
they sun run in execution, like the In
terstate commerce act, an endless gaunt
let of secret hostility, till they tall by
the way halt dead.
Our cities, like St. Louis, not only be
come shamelessly corrupt, but so cor
runt as to lose recuperative power: or.
like Philadelphia, they become hopelessly
inert under prolonged abuses; or, like
New York, they are plunged Into violent
conflicts where victory only prepares the
way for defeat.
We may make all the qualifications -we
can for this state of things, and it still
remains, considering our history, our op
portunity, and our capacity, a most sur
prising result, dark with the threat -of
ultimate failure. What is the reason of
all this? Doubtless there are many rea
sons, but the most conspicuous and lnflu
entlal of them all has been the method
in which we have developed the doctrine
of protection. In It commercial enter
prise and political activity have struck
hands, and. In their own narrow and
selfish pursuits, lost sight of the public
welfare. Commercial privilege has been
conferred by law, and those who frame
the law gain their position and retain It
by the contributions ot those who profit
by the law. The two most powerful ten
dencies in our National life, the pursuit
of wealth, and the pursuit ot political
power, are In corrupt affiliation. Protec
tion, at first a plausible economic doc
trine, has lost all hold on principle, and
becomes simply the exaction of the few
accustomed to profit at the expense of
the many. The strongest forms of pro-

are- led to believe that their own pros
perity Is somehow or other locked up In
the prosperity of those whose wealth Is
escaping all bounds. Nothing Is looked
at squarely. Democracy Is subverted. The
many come to believe that their advan

few.
A .confusion and obliquity of thought

becomes germane to this primary con
tract. It begets, like carrion, all creep

The tragedy ot free institutions passes
into comedy and burlesque when trusts,
the natural progeny of protection, so
threaten the general safety as to demand

of a report made by Fisher on the ground
that she was likely to become a public
charge. She attempted to secure a writ

with the due process of law, and also that
It was contrary to the provisions of the

ST. LOUIS. April 6. Injunctions sought
by the Chicago Board of Trade to estab

the future prices of grains and other com

the United States District Court, today,

as to preclude resort to a court of equity
by complaint for its protection."
"I am satisfied." reads the opinion, "that

that were a law to them. They ought to
