APE MENDOCINO
Norwegian Collier Hits the
Rocks in Fog and Will Be
Total Loss.
ENTIRE CREW IS RESCUED
Men on Board Put Off In Small
Boats for Lightship, but a Hur
rying Tug From Eureka
Picked Them ;Up.
E JREKA. Cal.. July 25. In a thick tog,
fend with a smooth sea running, the Nor
wegian collier Tricolor, bound from Brit
ish Columbia for San Francisco, ran on
the rocks near Cape Mendocino .light
house early thjs morning, and will be a
total loss. Her crew of 27 men were saved
and arrived here tonight.
Captain. B. Wold says that ho lost his
reckoning In the fog, and believed the
vessel safe up to the time that Bhe struck
the rocks. Boats were lowered and head
ed toward the Blunt's Beef lightship, but
were sighted by the tug Ranger, which
Jiad been Bent from here as soon as the
news was received this morning. The
steamer lies broadside to the beach, and
is ppundlng to pieces on the rocks. Her
value Is estimated at $200,000.
"Was New on the Coast.
As the Tricolor has been on the coast
but six months. Captain Wold was not
very well acquainted with the run. Built
last year at Nowcastle, England, the
ateamer was brought here after a brief
service between New York and China.
She Is of 3850 tons' burden, and Is owned
-by W. Wllhelm6en, one of the largest
shipowners of Norway, and is chartered
by the Western Fuel Company, to which
was consigned her cargo of coal. She
sailed from Victoria July 19.
When dawn broke today, the vessel was
'peen from the Ocean House, and a tele
phone message sent to Eureka for help.
As Boon as It was light those on board
prepared to leave the steamer. The coast
-at this point is Jagged and utterly Impos
sible for landing- in the surf. Heavy seas
were breaking over he stranded vessel,
and the crew lost no time In lowering
the boats and starting for the lightship,
whose fog whistle could plainly bo heard.
Before they reached her. however, the
Ranger had appeared.
Current Swerved Steamer.
Cape Mendocino Is considered one of the
most dangerous promontories on the Pa
cific Coast. The danger is well marked,
but the currents are treacherous. It was
this set of the current that drew tho un
fortunate Tricolor upon the rocks when
her navigator thought her In perfect
safety.
The Tricolor is. the steamer which re
cently towed the Umatilla Reef lightship
out of danger and well Inside the Straits
of Fuca before the line parted. It Is
probable that the vessel will break up
before long, and It Is considered Improb
able even that an attempt will be. made
to bring her off the rocks, as It Is ex
ceedingly dangerous for any .steamer to
run near the wreck.
FIVE HUNDRED PERSONS GO
Columbia and Valencia Leave City
on tho Same Night.
Sailing from the same dock, the steam
ers Columbia and Valencia started for San
Francisco last night with nearly 500 pas
sengers on board. The Alnsworth dock
was busier than It has been for many a
day. for there were the usual consign
ments of paper and other portions of a
general cargo to be loaded on the Colum
bia and she was delayed over an hour.
The Valencia, owned by the Pacific
Coapt Company., and operated between
California and Puget Sound, made her
first call at Portland last night. She ar
rived up at 7 -o'clock, and after taking
on some coal was ready to sail soon after
10 o'clock. She brought 30 passengers
from Seattle, and 160 people who
could not be accommodated on the Colum
bia took passage on her. The Valencia
is about the sire of the wrecked Elder.
The City -of Topeka. the next Pacific
Coast steamer to call here on her way
south, is a larger boat with better pas
singer accommodations.
On the Columbia were SCO passengers,
filling the steamer to the brim. There
were the usual mix-ups as to state rooms,
but before the -steamer pulled out from
the dork most of the tangles had been
rtraightene-d out. Except upon the few
days when the Columbia has happened
to sail on the same night as the Roanoke,
last 'night's crowd was the largest taken
out of Portland on one night for a long
time.
Flour Cut Not Determined.
It Is the steamship companies operat
ing out of Puget Sound which have ob
jected to the cut rate on flour to the
Orient proposed by the Portland &
Asiatic Company. The California com
panies are willing that the rate to Japan
and China be cut from $5 to J4 a ton as
very little business is being done In flour
exporting, but tho Great Northern and
Boston Steamship Company officers are
not willing to stand by the recent agree
ment and refum to consent to the cut.
As the rate Is scheduled to go Into effect
August 15 the Portland office is trying
to get the other companies' consent to the
cut as soon as possible.
DAKOTA IS ALSO DISABLED
Slg Steamship Must Go on the
, Drydock.
SEATTLE: Wash., July 25. The steam
iilp Dakota, of the Great Northern
Eteaimhlp Company's fleet, was disabled
off Cape FJattely -last night and has
iurned back to Seattle. Grinding and the
discharge of brass cuttings and 'excessive
heat of the bulkheads indicate that the
port tailshaft has developed a fracture
lat the. Inner bearings. This can only be
SSeterwlned 'after the Dakota goes in dry
Hock, arx3 "she- will be sent to the Pi i cot
SoudX, iXavy-rsxd'fi, dock as soon as It
s -determined' whether she will-proceed
with her cargo or transfer It to the Min
nesota. The Minnesota can go to sea with cargo
and passengers from the Dakota as on
as she can cpal. The Minnesota was dis
abled when she started from Seattle on
her Ural trip.

On her arrival here the steamer Alli

go on the -dry dock for repairs to her pro
peller. While moving -about the Willa
mette two blades were broken, and her
speed has been considerably lessened.
For the past three days the river has
been falling rapidly, and yesterday sev

URGES HOPMEN TO HOLD
Conrad Krebs Declares the World
Crop Is Short.
SALEM, Or., July 23. To the Editor.)
Hor.rower of the Pacific Coast might be In
terested in knowing the name of . the Arm.
as well as the originator and Instigator of
the injunction proceedings instituted at the
time of the formation of the Oregon pool.
The man who conceived the injunction cult
Is known aa Jim Plncus. of the rm f Isaac
Plncus at Sons, of Taeoma. Wash. That suit
has done no harm, neither has it done any
good, with the exception of producing same
merriment and laughter.
Mr. Plncus feared that the holders f hops
were not firm, and he thought an injunc
tion proceedings would brace them up. Sub
sequent actions of the growers have demon
strated the intelligence and ftrmnew of the
holders of hops on the Pacific Coast, notwith
standing the celling out of Isaac Plncus &
Son, who Imagined that their wiling would
acare the holders of hops and creat a panic
In the hop market unequaled by anything
which has ever transpired.
Event have proven oonclurlvely that the
hopbolders are doing their own thinking and
any attempt to mlelead them la futile. In
othsr words, the holder of 1904 hops are not
anxious to break the market for the benefit
of fcaac Plncu & Sons, nor are they Inter
ested in as&lmlng them to cover their short
sales of the 1005 crop. TVe suspect that
Isaac Plncus & Sons have received 30 pieces
of silver for their hops, and thu break faith
with the srowcrn.
Ever? welMnformed dealer knows that many
of the yards In Oregon are dead and will net
produce, any hops, a the blossom is dropping
off. I know of Rvt yards near Salem on
which no hops can form, and I knew of lots
f yards In various sections f the state
which were In- the tame condltieh, so I in
fer, that they are dead, too. All our reports
from California chow a probable yield of
45.000 to 65,000 bales, as against C2.0U0 bales
laet year.
If our New York advices are reliable, anj
we think they are, then that state will pro
duce 35.000 bales, as against 05,000 bales In
1D04. Washington Is estimated at 4,KiO-bales.
Present bad conditions . in Oregon make It
impossible to- estimate the crop, but we may
safely ray that under the most favorable
conditions Oregon will not produce -any --mere
hops than in 1004, and possibly a great many
less-.
A conservative estimate or the 1003 crop of
the United States, provided climatic condi
tions are favorable until the crop is har
vested, would be from 235,000 to 250.000 bales.
The probable production Sbeer will be 52,
000.000 barrels. The requirements for all
purposes will be at least 240.000 bales. Not
Iras than 50,000 bales will be exported, which
will create a greater shortage than ever ex.
isted before.
t'nder uch conditions every holder of 1004
hops Is to be congratulated on having hops
on hand. The crop In England Is now est,
mated at 400,000 to 450.060 hundred-weights,
as against an estimate at this time laet ye.ar
of &U0.O00 hundred-weights. You know that
they only picked 2R2.000 hundred-weights. In
other words, the English crop is ntver safe
until It !s In the ble.
Germany Is reported as 15 to 25 per rent
short of lost year. All reports to the con
trary notwithstanding, we have nt cold or
even offered for sale a bale f our wn hops
since February, and we do net expect to sell
until September or Ottber. TVe advise, all
the growers not to contract a bale of their
1903 crop.
I have concluded to call the convention of
the hopgrower of the State f Oregon for
the formation, f the contemplated eerportalon
between the 10th and 20th f August, or as
soon as It is possible to determine the in
jury which has been done t the Oregon crop.
As prevent conditions show that numerous
yards will not proiuce anything at all and
there will be nothing te transfer to the cor
poration, it would be a useless waste of
money and time to transfer to the corpora
tion crops which are dead and dying.

Kaiser Trying to Allay
. Felt in Europe.
Alarm
NO ALLIANCE WITH RUSSIA
Europe Still Gnesses at Meaning of
-Emperors' Conference -Czar
- Sought It and Prohahly
Wanted rAdvIce.
CHICAGO. July 55.-(SpecIal.-A spe
cial cablegram to the Dally News from
London says:
"Absolutely not." said an official of the
Foreign Office to your correspondent to
day In reply to the' question, "Is the
Kaiser hunting trouble?"
"The Kaiser might enjoy a slight Jar
among the others." the official contin
ued, "but he desires jnothlng of the sort
himself. He is aware that his Morocco
adventure caused alarm and wants to re
store confidence. Possibly he would not
grieve to ee France and England es
tranged and the dual alliance still leas
efficient, but he has not the slightest
idea of risking war.
"To talk of the Kaiser creating another
coalition against Japan Is not convinc
ing. Such a coalition with Russia, would
he helpless. It would require Germany
and France to carry out its objects un
aided. This task they probably would
not covet, even if Janan were not backed
by England. Equally Improbable Is the
rumored triple alliance, including Russia.
Germany and France. Russia could get
little out of such an arrangement. It
would not enable the Czar to retrieve'
his position In the Far East and would
do him a dubious service In Europe. Ger
many probably does not want to ally
herself definitely with the disorganization
and Impotence for which Russia stands.
France distrusts Germany and desires no
alliance, that would offend England.
"Therefore the general lines of the old
alliances are likely to be maintained with
closer relations between England and
France and between both these coun
tries and Russia. The triple alliance will
continue, but always with some suspicion
of Germany in Austria-Hungary and with
some inclination on Italy's part to draw
closer to the great people of the "West."
ALL RUSSIA KEPT GUESSING
Can't Learn Object, but Believes
Conference Will -Do Good.
ST. PETERSBURG. July 25. Gossip
and conjecture arc busy with the rea
sons for and results of the meeting be
tween Emperor William and Emperor
Nicholas off the Island of BJoerkoe;
but the rtturn of the Russian Imperial
party to Peterhof nas added nothing
definite to the Information regarding
the subjects discussed or the conclu
sions reached at the private inter
views between the two sovereigns.
Under the circumstances no authorita
tive statement can be made, and the
only Information vouchsafed la that
the conversations were extremely cor
dial and friendly.
, The belief Uhat the meeting ,will
-mako for peace was reflected on the
.Boure today, imperial 4s rlntrtfr a-
Tull point to in a firm market.
The Importance of the meeting Is
reoognlzed in the press comments of
all shades of opinion. Various conjec
tures are advanced an to Its real mean
ing, tint they are all admittedly guess
work. The Bourse Gazette has a well -written
article pointing to the fact that
good neighborly relations wltn Ger
many enabled Russia to withdraw part
of her army from her wistern frontier
and declares It is the duty of ilusslnn
diplomacy to strengthen these rela
tions, at the same time maintaining
that the Franco-Russian alliance,
made in the interest of peace, must in
no wise be disturbed, and neither
France nor Great Britain has any roa
son to worry over the conference.
Tho Novoe Vremya, after cataloguing
the various suppositions advanced,
declares it is useless to guess which
of them received special attention,
and concludes, sagely that It Is some
times good to havA a diplomatic ques
tion discussed without the assistance
of professional diplomats.
Liberal circles are inclined to look
askance at the meeting, the pessimists
thinking that it bodes ill to reform
and the Otchestva sees In it the future
visit of a German squadron to Rus
sian waters and disaster to Russia
economically and politically.
TALKED OF RUSSIAN AFFAIRS
German Paper Says.Czar Sought Ad
vice on Internal Troubles.
st. Petersburg! July 26,-The st.
Petersburg Zeltung, a German Journal,
whloh has very close relations with the
Germany Embassy, lays significant em
phasis on the relations of the confer
ence between Emperor William and Em
peror Nicholas to the Internal affairs of
Russia. It declares that Franco-German
relations or any questions of great
world politics ,-bpuld hardly have been
the immediate occasion of the meeting,
but that on the other band the Internal
situation In Russia is the most burning
question now before the Emperor, and
that His Majesty may well have wel
comed the opportunity to lay the problem
before "his brotherly friend.' whose ver
dict would have the greatest weight. The
Interview, the paper declares, must cer
tainly have had a bearing on the peace
negotiations, adding:
"It cannot be a matter of indifference
whether a belligerent In Russia's situa
tion can. on commencing pourparlers
boast such warm and mighty friendship
or not."
CZAR SOUGHT CONFERENCE

BERLIN. July 2S. Although the Ger
man Foreign Office was advised In the
sense cabled to the Associated Press
yeterday of the general outlines of what
Emperor William would pay to Emperor
Nicholas concerning peace and internal
reforms in Russia, no report has been
received regarding what actually took
place. The Foreign Office says definitely
that tho Russian Emperor took the in
itiative In bringing the Intervle wabout.
Who took the first step is not essential,
were It not that the German Emperor
is represented as desiring to offer unso
licited advice
lt Is learned from another source that
the two Emperors have -a private cipher

LONG STORY OF MISRULE
ZEMSTYO CONGRESS INDICTS
RUSSIAN OFFICIALDOM.
Address to Czar Tells Him His Or
ders Are Ignored and Consti
tution Is Only Remedy.
LONDON. July 55. (SpcciaW-Dally
Standard this morning prints the full
text of the- remnetrance which was drawn
upn by the Zemstvo Congre?s at Moscow
for presentation to the Czar. It makes
four and a half columns of solid type
and Is a most crushing indictment of
Russian misrule. In calm, dispassionate
language, detailed presentation and ex
pops of existing conditions. official op
pression and mismanagement of Internal
affairs is set forth for the Czar's peroral
and the document promises to rank with
the grand remonstrance which wa pre.
sentcd to Charles the First by the British
House of "Commons In 1S11.
The remonstrance details the existing
laws of the nation and s-hows how they
are broken with the greatest Immunity
by the officials entrusted' to carry them
out. Various massacres and police out
rages are instanced to snow that the local
officials have no deeire to enforce the
laws for the benefit of the rank and file
of the population.
A great deal of the document is de
voted to a discussion of the question of
the reform of local government. It shows
that the government has not the slight
est desire cither to strengthen or develop
local self-government throughout Rus
sia and puts he queetlon.of a change In
these conditions squarely up to the Czar
himself.
The question of.-.religious tolarance Is
discussed at length and numerous In
stance cited .to prove that the statement
sent broadcast to the world that all faiths
were to be treated with aoleratlon Is a
fallacy.
The freedom of the press la declared to
be farciful In the extreme. After re
ferring to the uka of December 12 last,
which primlred an end to censorship and
espionage, the remonstrance says:
"This 1 simolr an instance of the fail
ure of the local government offlclalo to
bey the emmands expressly given by the
tzar.
In . discussing a rcheme for popular
rc.t?'enUlt,on' ,he "monstrance iays:
Ve are forced to arrive at the con-
flil!i0n.u.that h1 re"nt government Is
Impossible and that It haa never been In
tended by It to grant Indlspenrable re
forms. The situation In the country Is
growing worre and a transition to con
stitutional government Is the sole means
at hand to save the nation from ruin.
All through Russians are bound to take
action of the most decisive character to
secure a representative assembly. We
can wait no longer.""
