PECTACLE QF
FORTMORO'SFflLL
Realistic Sham Battle Is En
acted to Delight of
Thousands.
SHIP IS BLOWN TO ATOMS
finally the Fort- Is Destroyed by
the Battleships and the Stars
.' .and Stripes Are Hoisted
Over Its Ruins.
Fort Moro surrendered last night and
the Star-Spangled Banner now waves
over the once proud citadel, behind the
buttresses of which the Spaniards so vain
gloriously dotted the boys in blue. It
'was not the formidable fortress of San
tiago that capitulated last night, as it
lias been in the hands of the Americans
for several years, but it was the Fort
Moro of the iLcwis and Clark Exposition
that was captured after a gallant assault,
which served as a fitting and magnificent
climax to tho grandest, most wonderful
and most realistic sham military engage
ment evor produced in the West.
Fully 25,000 persons witnessed the fall
of Fort Moro at the Exposition and went
home marveling at the magnitude and the
realism of the great sham battle they
had been fortunate enough to see. Very
few of those who attended will ever again
Tiave the rare opportunity of witnessing
.another such novel and wonderful spec
tacle. Lake a Fitting Scene.
Guild's L,ake is peculiarly adapted to the
production of a naval engagement, and
the Exposition officials took advantage
of it better than they knew. Not until
the battle was over and they had heard
the expressions of the greatest satis
faction on tho lips of the thousands of
spectators, did those who took part in it
realize or conceive the extent of their
achievement All the memories of their
first attempt were erased and from the
numerous citizens of Portland as well, as
they, knew they had retrieved all the
confidence of the public
Early last night the street cars leading
to the Exposition began filling with
crowds, and by 8 o'clock they were
thronged to their utmost capacity. From
all directions the swarms of people
poured through the gates of the Exposi
tion, seoklng points of vantage, from
vhlch to see the great naval production
which had been promised them. Long
before the first gun was fired the Bridge
of .Nations, Government Island and the
bridge loading to the American Inn were
packed with humanity. Nearly every pos
sible point from which the battle could
be seen was crowded. Several thousand
people saw the engagement from Willam
ette Heights, and the bluffs overlooking
the lake.
Searchlights Play on Fortress.
Searchlights played full upon the fort
ress, which looked very forbidding and
formidable. On each side of the fort could
be seen two large battleships. About
o i.v TTinnv llehts twinkled out
from far across the waters. Rapidly
they grew nearer, anu mo wdiwio
soon distinguished the outlines of
five battleships. When close to the fort,
a sheet of flame burst from the sides of
the nearest ship.. From Fort Moro sound
a -Krin nil the defenders hurried
to their posts, and searchlights were
turned upon the auacKing iieei,
Within a few seconds the black muzzles
of the guns of the fort vomited forth fire
and smoke, and the great naval battle
'was on. The purr of the machino guns,
v, v.nfn iroKif stnA the snutterlns: of the
rifles in the hands of the marines, punc
tuated by the roar and almost deafening
crash of the hoavy cannons, tne iiicKer 01
samvhiic-iits. the cheers of the sailors
and tho soldiers and the heavw cloud of
..smoke which hung over the fort and
ships, all aided in making it tho grandest
and most realistic naval sham battle ever
produced on Ahe Coast. The roar of tho
battle was terrible, and many of the spec
tators hnd to cover their ears. The Are
from the . stationary ships and the fort
was the heaviest as in tnem were in
stalled the largest of the cannon.
Fleet Pours Galling Fire.
Three times the fleet filed paBt the fort.
firing rapidly and constantly. The Span
iards returned the lire with equal vigor.
but their aim was poor. Soon huge gaps
.appeared in the side of tho fort, every
thing "being done to make the battle
realistic, and it could be seen that the
defenders were in dire distress. However
tho defenders took heart when a flame
"was seen to wind its way up the side of
one of the battleships, and they redoubled
their efforts. Soon the flames enveloped
the ship and upon their eating they way
into the magazine, there was a tremend
ous explosion, blowing it to atoms. This
greatly angered and incensed the sailors
ana iney went ai it naraer man ever.
Fort Moro in Flames.
A few minutes later flames burst from
Fort Moro. The Are from the defenders
grew less and .less until it had almost
stopped. The fleet drew close to Fort
Moro, and from them came the marines
who gallantly scaled the walls. There
"wore a few scattering shots, and the Are
from Fort Moro ended as it was in the
hands of the Americans. The yellow flag
of the Spaniards was pulled down and
the Stars and Stripes hoisted amid the
strains of the "Star Spangled Banner"
from the massed bands. The spectators
gave a long, loud cheer and the spectacle
was over. The thousands of spectators
cast their eyes over the scene of the
battle In a long last look and with the
smell of burnt powder fresh in their nos
trils, started for home.
(Dakar Huber, director of works, at the
Exposition, had direct charge of the naval
battle, and to him is due a large part of
the credit for the great success which it
turned out to be. Captain Gowan, of the
Tenth united States Infantry, had com
mand of Fort Moro, and Maior Mc
Donnoll, of the Centennial Guard, was in
charge of the' scaling party and Captain
Clark in command of the fleet. The mill
tary bodies that took part in the engage
ment were the Tenth United States. In
fantry, the Centennial Guard and Battery
A. of the Oregon National Guards. The
life-saving crew also assisted. The battle
resulted in the expenditure of nearly
ON INDUSTRIAL UNIONISM
Frank Bohn of Jfevr York Talks for
Xew Organization.
"What is industrial unionism?" was
the theme of discussion before an open
meeting of the new labor organization
known, as the Industrial Workers' of the
World, at Union hall, 66 North Sixth
street, last evening.
The- object of this new movement is
eventually to supplant the present labor
"body known as the American Federation
of Labor, 'and the meeting last evening
was attended by a scattering few of the
local union men In addition to the local
members of the organization.
The principal speaker of the evening
was the organizer for this district, Frank
Bohn, of New York City. Other men in
the movement were to have addressed
the meeting, but were unable to attend.
and Mr. Bohn occupied the floor during
a larger portion of the evening, both In
elaborating the benefits to accrue to the
laboring classes by affiliation with this
organization and in answering queries
of the skeptical.
He baaed his argument on the principals
of the new organization, the Industrial
Workers of the World. According to
Mr. Bohn and the exponents of the new
movement in labor circles. Industrial
unionism is the name applied to that
form of trades-unions which has sprung
Into existence as a direct outgrowth of
modern industrial conditions. under
which whole Industries are practically
owned and controlled by one set of capital
ists through the medium of trusts or
combines. He claims that the labor or
ganizations of today are unable to com
pete with the situation as It stands at
present, for the reason that they are so
constructed that they are Incapable of
concerted action, on account of the exist
ing conditions of being apportioned ac
cording to class, which they term as
class unionism.
Mr. Jones, vice-president of the local
branch of the A. F. of !.. was granted
the privilege of the floor, and endeavored.
by citing figures, to show how much
that organization had done for the labor
ing classes of today, but his remarks
were evidently not in accord with the
policy of the new organization, for in
response to his statements, several In
stances were cited by Messrs. Bohn and
others in which it was said the accom
plishment of the organization he repre
sents were not encouraging to the labor
class.
INDIAN INSTITUTE WORK
FEATURES OF THE SESSION ARE
OF GREAT INTEREST.
What Is Being Done by Teachers to
Tench -the Youth of tho
Red Men.
The sessions of the Pacific Coast In
dian Teachers' Institute are growing more
Interesting day by day, a particularly
successful and Instructive meeting being
held yesterday morning in the parlors of
the American Inn. Heretofore most of
the sessions have been devoted to the
reading of papers, but general discussions
are. becoming more frequent. There were
nearly 200 teachers and auditors at tho
session yesterday morning.
The education of the Indian has not yet
passed out of the stage of Infancy and
become an old-established institution, but
the educators of the younger generation
of the American savage have many
things to learn In regard to their work.
Therefore all the Ideas and suggestions at
the Institute are not always agreed upon.
The teachers express their ideas on the
various subjects regarding the teaching
of the Indians, and there have been some
very interesting debates, which have been
very beneficial to those present. One of
the Interesting papers at the convention
yesterday was read by Edwin Eells, of
Tacoma, who gave a history of the In
dian of the Northwest during the last
100 years. Tuberculosis," read by Dr.
Tabor R. White, of Arizona, proved to
be another able paper. Besides the regu
lar morning session today, a meeting
will be held at the American Inn at 7
o'clock tonight, when the officers of the
organization will be elected for the com
ing year. The two sessions Saturday will
be devoted to a Conference on Indian
Affairs, under the auspices of the Ex
position. They will be held In the morn
Ing and afternoon, beginning at 9 A. M.,

LOW YUCK'S LONG DELAY
Held in Detention Shed "While Proof
Conies From China.
Low Tuck Is a Portland Chinese, who
by hard toil in an East Side garden,
saved sufficient money to enable him to
visit the land of his ancestors. But Low
Yuck had prospered In America, and he
had no idea of giving up his residenco
In Portland, even to spend his remaining
days among his fellow countrymen and
therein lies the point of our story.
A certain law provides that if a Chi
nese returns to his homeland he must
make his visit of short duration, and if
he fails in this the gates of the United
States are forever closed to him. Low
luck knew of the law and planned his
trip accordingly, but when he was ready
to return he found. that the ship on which
he had come would not return to America.
When he finally did return he was obllg'
ed to come back by way of Vancouver.
B. C, and the officers would not permit
him to land. He had no papers to show
cause for his delinquency, and the immi
gration inspectors would not accept his
explanation without proof. And so for
three months Low Yuck has languished
at the detention station at Comax, Wash.,
while his friends sent to China for evi
dence that 'there had been no ship for
Portland which he could have taken. At
last the necessary proof was forthcom
Ing. It was decided that he had been
unavoidably delayed, and so Low Yuck is
at last granted permission to re-enter the
United .States.
Plays Short Change Trick.
Jennie Sengbeen, a waitress In the Bris
tol restaurant at Fourteenth and Wash
ington streets, Is the victim of the short
change trick, which was perpetrated yes
terday afternoon: An unknown man en
tored the restaurant and asked to be
given a 510 bill for that amount of silver.
The cashier not belngXable to accommo
date him. Miss Sengbeen volunteered her
services. The short-change artist hand
ed her 59.50 in silver, and taking a $1 bill
slipped It Into an envelope. The obliging
waitress called nis attention to the short
age of 50 cents, and apologizing for the
mistake, handed her back tho envelope
containing the supposed 510 note, and tak
ing his 59.50 and Miss Sengbeen's -money
departed.
Chamberlain Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy.
There is probably no medicine made
that Is relied upon with more implicit
confidence than Jnamteriain s Colic. Chol
era and Diarrhoea Remedy. During the
third of a century in. which It has been
in use, people have learned that It is
the one remedy that never falls. When

XEWPORT. TL. I Ausr. 24. After
colliding with and damaging the little
kerosene oil schooner IC. S. Gallup, of
New York, the battleship Kearsarge
arrived In the harbor tonight with the
disabled craft and her crew of two.
The warship was not Injured and the

National Oil Company, of New York,
docs not exceed 5500.
Tho battleship squadron went out
for a course of maneuvers this after
noon between Point Judith and Ncw-
Dort. but was obliged to head for tnis
port at noon because of a dense fog. At
a point five miles southeast of Point
Judith, the Gallup, which was bound
from New York to Portsmouth, with
a cargo of empty oil casks below and
filled casks on deck, crossed the bow
of the battleship. The latter, steaminff
at the rate of flve knots, struck the
schooner on the starboard side below
the water line, and the water which
poured in through a hole a foot square,
soon filled the Gallup and caused her
tn nnnaize. The onlv nersons on board
were Captain John Andrews and . his
son, William. They were rescued oy
tho crew of the Kearsarge.

Institute has asked the Department of
Commerce and Labor to reclassify the
yacht Gallilee. "so .that it will not be
compelled to enter and clear at customs
ports while engaged in making a magnetic
survey of tho North Pacific Ocean in tho
interests of navigation." The yacht has
been chartered at San Francisco by the
department of terrestrial magnetism of
the Carnegie Institute. Four scientists
have been engaged to make the survey,
for which. 525.000 has been appropriated,
and the work will probably cover a period
of three years. The yacht is now regis
tered as a merchantman, which would
require that it clear at all domestic and
foreign ports entered. To escape this
provision, the yacht would have to be
registered as a pleasure craft.
