'IF. THREE SIERMERS ON THE E Harriman Line Will Increase Service Between San Fran cisco and Portland. MUCH WHEAT TO BE MOVED JS'cw Vessel Will Be Put on the Ran In September Seattle Steamer to Operate in Opposition to. , Kamm and'.O. Jl. & N. The Harriman line will operate jthree steamers on the Portland-San jrapclsco' run this Fall and Winter, on a ihree-day schedule. This decision was reached by General Manager R. P. Schwerln. alter an Investigation of conditions here. The extra steamer will begin her service In September, and will In all probability be a permanent addition to the Coast fleet. While a heavy passenger traffic la ex pected In the. Fall. Jt Is rather the cer tainty of an Immense freight movement that has Induced the general manager to Increase the service. The bulk of the cargoes southbound after September opens will consist of wheat. California has produced only about 600,000 tons this year, while the Northwest will harvest about a million and a half. Orders from California for grain for September. Octo ber and November delivery are now being freely placed, and indicate that the move ment will continue uninterrupted throughout the season. While the name of the steamer that will be placed on the route- has not been announced, It Is believed by shipping men that It will be the Barracouta. which has done service south from San Francisco in the Pacific Mail line. With the changed traffic conditions there, she can be well spared for the northern route. The Barracouta is about the sire of the Columbia and the St. Paul, and besides being a good freight carrier, has excel lent passenger 'accommodations. She is British-built, having been launched at Glasgow in 1SS3. She was transferred to Hawaiian registry, and came under the Stars and Stripes with the "annexation of the Islands. The Barracouta Is 275 feet long. 25 feet beam and 20- feet depth of hold. Her gross tonnage Is 2152, and her net tonnage 1719. BIDS OX CANAL WORK. Lowest Figures Submitted by Smyth & Jones.

S5S.2SS.00 DAKOTA HELD AT HEAVY LOSS Minnesota Will Be Sent Clear Through to Chinese Ports. SEATTLE. Wash.. July 27. (Special.) The accident to the steamship Dakota will be more expensive to the Great Xorthern Steamship Company on ac count of the loss of time entailed than because of the expense of repairing the damage. The cost of going into dry dock and undergoing repairs will not be expensive, but the Dakota Is likely to be' held in Seattle .from six weeks to two months, a heavy loss to the oper ating company. The Great Northern Company and Boston Steamship Company had agreed upon a Joint schedule. To send the Da kota out as soon as repaired would be to compel the Boston Steamship Com pany to revise Its schedule of sailings and to disarrange the plan for Joint operations Insisted upon by the Bur lington. Great Northern and Northern Pacific. It was manifestly unfair to the Bos ton Steamship Company to compel that corporation to suffer by reason of the Dakota's accident, and "it has been de termined to send, the Minnesota clear through to Chinese ports and to hold the Dakota here to fall back upon her regular schedule. This Involves a big expense to the Great Northern. GOES OX ASTORIA RUN. Telegraph Will Leave Seattle for .Portland on Sunday. Captain IT. B. Scott's stern-wheeler Telegraph will leave Seattle for Port lanJ on SunJay. according to present calculations, and Is looked for here 'about Tuesday morning. While she may be useJ for excursion business at first. It is believed that before long he will be running as , day boat to Astoria, probably making .a round trip dally. Captain Scott, ".on his recent visit to Astoria, arranged for landing privileges at CallenJar's dock, and In this city the Oak-street dock will be used. Sjeamboat men believe that the in vasion of the Lower Columbia field by the Telegraph "prill draw the new Tele phone Into active service in the same quarter, as the opinion -still holds along the water front that the O. R. & N. and Kamm control the handsome boat that o long jas remained Idle at the East Side dock. It Is a foregone-conclusion that if th.e two fast boats get into com petition, established rates will not count for much. MAY HAVE BEEX CAPTURED Centennial Had Contraband Cargo for tlic Russians.

Wash.. July 27. (Special.) The steamer Santa Monica, now being loaded at the American mill, brought the largest cargo of any in her history, amounting to over 300 tons of miscellane ous freight. Including a great many bags of potatoes and crates of cabbages. When the Toledo was on Gray's Harbor-Portland run. a good deal of the vegetables and fruit that comes from California was brought in from Portland, and the Chambers of Commerce of Portland and Aberdeen should be interested in getting another boat on this route, which was beginning to be profitable when the To ledo was taken off. The Santa Monica, since' her construction ten years ago. has made only three trips from any other port than Gray'a Harbor. Coolies Are Rushed Along. VICTORIA, B. O. July 27.

POPULAR VOTE PROPOSED Peace Desired by Sweden, but She Provides Funds for "War, In Case It Comes Norwegians Pro pose Referendum. STOCKHOLM. July 27.-fSpeclaL-There is widespread satisfaction over the fall of tr.e Raxastedt ministry, which amounts to a disavowal of the milk-and-water policy of the King's advisers on the union crisis and an open concession to the de mands of the Swedish people for a more aggressive attitude toward the Norwegian revolutionaries. King Oscar has not yet found a statesman willing to undertake the guiding of Sweden at this critical Juncture. Several have already declined. Consideration of the special committee's report wjll be taken up on Friday.. The committee's last report was unknown. The verdict was widely divergent from the sentiment of party groups, and Jus tifies the prediction that it is certain to be confirmed by the Riksdag and sub mitted to the Storthing without delay. As united Sweden is absolute regarding the Irreducible minimum of her demands, the Swedes consider that both the Im mediate and eventual conditions of the special committee's recommendations axe characterized by the utmost moderation and will leave the world In no doubt as to Sweden's desire for a peaceful recon ciliation. The press echoes the hope that both countries will now approach a set tlement In a sslrlt of good will and a genuine desire to avert war, adding that such a spirit is manifest as may make it necessary to draw upon the 1CO.CO0.OX) kroner O25.W0.0W) emergency fund at any moment. The situation is summed up in the remark: "It's up to Norway now." TERMS OF DISUNION APPROVED Both Swedish Houses Accept, but So cialists Oppose Loan. STOCKHOLM, July 27. Both houses of the Swedish Parliament today ap proved the report of the special com mittee appointed by Parliament to deal with the crisis between Sweden and Norway. In the first chamber the re port was adopted without debate. In the second chamber the recom mendation In the report regarding ne gotiations for a dissolution was adopt ed unanimously, but there was some objection to the proposed loan of $25. 000,000 to meet the new conditions. About a score of members voted against the loan, the Social Democrat ic leader, Herr Branting. pointing to the danger of militarism and declar ing that the proposed loan was con trary to the political spirit of the rec ommendation to negotiate. It was a dangerous precedent, he said, for Swedep never heretofore had borrowed money for military purposes, and he feared Norway would regard it as belnsr In the nature of a. threat of war. Thrs view was contested by other speakers, who pointed out that the Riksdag by Its unanimous approval of the condition of dissolution had voiced its willingness to dissolve the union and Its desire for peace, both In the present and In the future. WILL SEND. FLEET TO JtALTTO Britain Desires to Counteract Effect of Kaiser's Visit. LONDON. July 27. The British chan nel fleet will sail for the Baltic Sea August 20, and will remain there through September. As it has been years sinco a British fleet appeared in that sea. tho announcement Is con nected in the public mind with Emper or William's recent tour and the visit of the German squadron to Scandina vian waters. The cruise of the British fleet is re garded as designed to counteract the preponderance of German influence in Scandinavian politics. The Admiralty, however, discourages the idea of pol itics having any bearing on the cruise, and says that the Baltic is an open sea. and that the fleet Is simply going there to execute maneuvers, a ceremonious visit not being contemplated.
