Remarkable Passage of the Largest Square-Rigged Bark In the World. The achievements of the five-masted steel bark Preussen, 50SI tons, built In 1902 for the Laeisz Shipping Agency, of Hamburg, the largest square-rigged bark in the world, have excited much interest of late, says the New York Ma rine Journal. The most remarkable per formance of the Preussen thus far has been the completion of the voyage from the English Channel to Iqulque, Chile, a distance of 12.000 miles. In 57 days about the time made by the steam freight ers engaged in the South American trade. On this voyage the vessel took her de parture from Ouessant March 5, 1903, and crossed the line March IS. 13 days out, es tablishing a record never before equaled by a sailing .ship. The parallel of 50 de grees south in the Atlantic was attained April 10, and in the Pacific April 21, 11 days being thus "spent In weathering that most tempestuous of regions. Cape Horn. tFroin noon of April 23 to noon of April 24, the vessel laid down 3G8 miles to her credit, this being the best day's run throughout the voyage. The anchor was dropped in the harbor of Iqulque May X which made 57 days from point of de parture to destination. Faster Than the Law Allows. Warrants were sworn out yesterday on complaint of Harbormaster Ben Blglin, charging Captain J. W. Johnson, of the steamer Charles R. Spencer, and Captain Bid H. Scammon, of the steamer Dalles City, with navigating their boats through the harbor faster than the city ordlnantes permit. The papers will be served when the steamers reach this city this after noon. Harbormaster BIglin's attention was called to the matter by the skipper of the French bark Marechal de Noailles, who reported that the swells raised by the boats led him to fear that his craft, -which is moored at one of the lower docks, .might turn turtle. Lumber Cargoes for China. The schooner Henry K. Hall has sailed lor Tsingtau, China, with 1.453,005 feet of lumber, valued at $10,000. dispatched by She Pacific Export Lumber Company. The schooner Samar has finished her cargo at Inman, Poulsen & Co.'s mill and will sail in a few days for Shanghai. The Samar filled her crew yesterday by ship ping six seamen from the sailor board-Jng-house. Like the Hall, she had to Jiavo recourse to the boarding-house men, as the Sailors Union could not furnish men for the over-sea voyage. Grace Dollar Coming North. The steamer Grace Dollar will leave San TYanclsco tomorrow for this city. She comes in the Frank "Woolsey line and brings general cargo. Domestic and Foreign Ports. ASTORIA. May 11. Sailed at 8:30 A.

Thomas, of Dayton, O., to Speak at the Marquam. The lecture to be given by E. S. Thomas, of Dayton, O., at the Mar quam Theater next Saturday evening, -will be interesting and instructive. Mr. Thomas comes to Portland upon the invi tation of the Civic Improvement Asso ciation. His lecture will be illustrated throughout with stereoptlcon views. It clearly demonstrates that Improved juathods and sanitary conditions are profitable to employer and employes alike. HI suggestions concerning boys gar dens, landscape gardening, etc, are backed by actual experience and show how the "city beautiful" can be easily attained by a proper direction of effort. Suggestion for local application will be made showing how Portland can profit immensely by adopting the methods suc cessful elsewhere. Mr. Thomas has delivered similar lec tures before clubs, schools and prominent organizations throughout the United States and England. "While a compara tively young mau he has had considerable experience upon the platform and has met with much success. Mingling pa thos with humor he tells of conditions as they existed before the new era of welfare in large manufacturing concerns and department stores. Seats are free in all parts of the theater, and a delightful evening is assured to alL GEM CLUB TO STAY CLOSED. Mayor Forbids Reopening of Gambling-House. After consultation with 'Chief Hunt, Mayor "Williams announced yesterday that he had Issued an order to the head of the Police Department not to allow the Gem Club on Sixth street, near "Washington, to reopen under new man agement. "If the men who were running the place are out of business now, as I hear, I cer tainly will not allow any new men to open there. I have given an order to Chief Hunt to that effect," he said. So, in all probability, the rattle of the xoulette ball and the clicking of chips will not be audible to evening prome naders on Sixth street for some time to come. For the past few weeks the Gem gambling-house has been under the weather, and these pleasant sounds have been missed. EugeneBlazler Is reported to be de sirous of reopening the Gem. But the authorities evidently consider that Blazler already has enough to do in the gambling-house line, with the Burnside street establishment and the First-street place of his brother running full blast. The order of Mayor "Williams Is follow ing out his policy onot allowing any new gambling 'Institution to start in business here. The havoe in the poolroom trade was caused by his declaration that the Applcgate poolroom should never open. It never has, although a majority of the Council were willing that it should do so under a fine system, which was also to be applied to the existing poolroom, that of the Portland Club. Now both pool rooms are dark. The Gem Club has been the plum for -which a number of boss gamblers have unsuccessfully reached at one time "or another. Rumors of a change in owner ship have been rife for months, but now that the old proprietors have retired from business, the famous establishment is apparently doomed. METERS FOR WATER-WASTERS Water Board Buys Large Supply and Defeats Eight-Hour Resolution. For the benefit of householders who waste city water, 730 water meters were yesterday afternoon purchased by the "Water Board. The Neptune Meter Com pany, of New York, was the successful bidder, the price being $5600. The bids had been opened Monday at a special meeUng and referred to Engineer Clarke for a recommendation. Following the re port submitted, the board awarded the contract to the New York company. Councilman Bentley's resolution asking that the "Water Board cut down the working day of gatetenders and others forced to work 12 hours a day, although the charter specifies that eight hours shall be a day's work, was respectfully tabled on motion of "W. M. Ladd. The salary of M. F. Gorgan, a surveyor of the "Water Board, was increased to $100 a month. Four surveyors in the City En gineer's Department have just had their pay raised to $125 a month for practically the same class of work. A number of petitions for better water service were received and referred to the superintendent and engineer. Russell & Blyth asked for a water main for a large tract on the higher portion of "Willam ette Heights. Those Shacks Hard to Kill. The Palace de Kamm, at First and "Washington streets, has "been given an other lease of life. The shacks wrill not be torn down until June 1, because City Attorney McNary had been reliably in formed that the tenants have paid their rent until that date. Ho has received no reply from Jacob Kamm, the owner, re garding a date for the destruction of the ruins. WILL LIQUIDATE ITS AFFAIRS Large New York Firm Decides to Pay Out Gradually. NEW YORK, May 1L One of the great est dry goods jobbing houses in the coun try. Sweetser, Pembroke & Co., of this city, established in 1854. has adopted a policy of gradual liquidation. After a meeting of the directors just held, the anouncement was made and a statement issued as follows: "Owing to the death of President J. H. Sweetser and the present business condi tions, the officers and board of directors of the corporation have concluded to adopt a policy of gradual liquidation, without at present determining the question whether the company shall be ultimately wound up or shall continue its business. "It is the belief of the officers and board of directors that the assets of the company are able to pay all business obli gations and leave a good surplus for a dividend for the stockholders holding pre ferred stock." Ten bankers and manufacturers, rep resenting one-half the firm's entire lia bilities, will act as an advisory commit tee. The concern Is capitalized at $1,500. (M0. divided- equally into common and preferred sharea The tendency recently developed on the part of manufacturers to eliminate the Jobber or middleman and his profits is said to have been largely responsible for the plan of liquidating the company's af fairs. The firm had hundreds of employes and salesmen all over the country, al though in recent years most of Its busi ness has been done in and about New York. It Is said to have amounted to nearly $10,000,000 a year. All the common stock is said to be held by employes. BRINGING: DEED TO CANAL HOME American Representatives Sail From Paris-Bunau-Varilla Honored. PARIS. May 1L The government has made M. Phllllpe Bunau-Varilla, First Minister of Panama to the United States, an officer of the Legion of Honor. Pres ident Loubet acted la this matter on the request of Foreign Minister Delcasse and It is understood that It is expressive of the government's approval of the winding up of the Panama transfer and of .M. Bunau-Varilla's service in that connec tion. TV. A. Day and Charles W. Russell, the assistant attorney-generals, who came here from "Washington to assist In the transfer of the canal property, sailed to day from Cherbourg on the North Ger man Lloyd steamer Kaiser "Wllhelm der Grosse. taking with them the deed for the Panama Canal and all the papers connected with the transfer. They ex pressed themselves entirely satisfied with the success of their mission and gratified at the government's recognition of M. Bunau-Varilla, who materially aided them in their work. CAN'T RUN UP CASCADES STEAM BOATMEN BELIEVE FEAT IS IMPOSSIBLE. They Doubt- Ability of Charles R. Spencer or Any Other Boat to Do the Trick. The announcement made yesterday in The Oregonlan by Captain E. "W. Spencer, of the river steamer Charles H. Spencer, that he would continue his through run to The Dalles whether the Cascade Locks closed, or not, brought all the steamboat men In town to a sitting posture early in the morning. Iater they went down to the river-front but said nothing of their surprise. They hated to accuse Captain Spencer of saying he could run up the Cascades without knowing that he could. They hesitated to communicate their doubts on his ability to do the trick. For hours they Ignored Captain Spencer's threat as much as if he had said he was about to run his craft on a heavy dew, but finally an O. R. & N. captain, exasperated by the silence, went on Tecord with the statement: "It's a good boat that can make Sheri dan Point when the locks are closed." "I've seen extremely good boats that : ever reached the whistling point," com mented another steamboatman. "If they get the Spencer above tho locks before they close they can. run her down once all right, but that's all there Is to it," said the third. There was not a steamboatman who considered the running of the Charles R. Spencer up the Cascades anywhere near practicable except Captain Spencer him self, and though they all hesitated to say anything against a good fellow like the gallant captain, they were all in the "show-me" stage. Captain F. B. Jones, who owns a num ber of stern-wheelers that help navigate rafts of logs to the Portland sawmills, re marked: "Spencer might as well try to run his boat up hill as up the Cascades. He. simply can't do It." The fact Is that all things from a slab of wood to a scow can, and. have come down over the Cascades, but nothing larger than a salmon has ever gone up It, and old steamboatmen are naturally rather skeptical when they hear some body Is going to push his steamboat past it. "The situation is this," said a deliber ate old rlverman whose words" on his one subject are golden. "I don't know how fast the river runs in high water, but below the lo-ks at least it is wprse than at low water. I was on the Harvest Queen when she ran down the rapids, in '89 and for three boats' lengths wo lost control of her and only after we swung to in the current below "Umatilla reef did we get steerage way again. I've been around the Horn and have seen a sea or two, and I don't like to see a boat loose steerage way, and there is not a boat on the Columbia River that can come down the rapids or try to go up either without losing steerage way. They have not got the speed. I don't know how fast that river goes at that point, but going down at full speed you lose control of the boat entirely and that means it is going much faster than the boat. "When I hear some one say he is going to climb the rapids, all I say is take me along, I want to see it done." The captains all say that the current is much stronger in high than at low water below the locks from the place known as Sheridan Point, a quarter of a mile below the locks, and it takes a great deal of headway to work up against it- to the foot of the locks. Be yond that they know nothing from ex perience, none of them really having at tempted the run. Captain Spencer and the old sea dog mentioned being the only ones who seem to hunger for the journey. They consider it impracticable to a man and do not think Captain Spencer or any one else can do it. Captain . "W. Troup brought down the Harvest Queen in 18S9, Captain Marshall brought down the D. S. Baker, tho Hassalo and R. R. Thompson also mado the hazardous" journey and many scows and wharfboats have done likewise. Years ago the Umatilla went to grief on the rocks there. But nover a boat went the other way except the scow that Joe Latourette "warped" up through the run where now the locks are located. That was in historic times and the scow was not very big.

Relatives of Wealthy Callfornlan Now Talk of Murder. NEW YORK, May 11. It Is asserted by the mother and sister of Harold A. Clarke, says a World dispatch from Paris, that the wealthy young Callfor nlan who was found dead in his room in a Paris hotel Monday, did not com mit suicide, despite the fact that all circumstances point that way. His sis ter, Mrs. Lyman, said: "Harold's body was found lying across the foot of the bed in evening dress, with one foot crossed peacefully over the other. The hotel manager was Indignant when I pointed out how easily a person could have entered the room through one of the windows. Harold was 31 years old, but did not look to be over 22. He spent Friday evening with us after his return from Monte Carlo, and he was particularly gay, making light of his losses, which he admitted sustaining. He was not pressed for money,, for he had a few thousand francs in the hotel office. Neither did he have any love affair, so far as we know." Clarke dined at a restaurant Sunday evening. He entered the. hotel at about 10 P. M. The employes say they heard the shot half an hour later. Clarke had taken a revolver from the bottom of his trunk. They ridicule the idea that It was anything but suicide, but admit that Clarke had some thousands of francs in the hotel safe. HOW JELLIES ARE MADE.
