TWO OTHER COASTERS IN Xomc City and Homer Follow Close in "Wake of the Regular Idncr From San Francisco Coal Comes From Swansea. Three steamers arrived from San Fran cisco last night, bringing freight and pas sengers. The Columbia, the largest and speediest of the trio, reached the harbor flrst, landing at Ainsworth wharf at 4 o'clock. She "was followed by the Nome City, which arrived at 8 and went to the coal bunkers to take on fuel, before going to the Couch-street dock to discharge. She will begin unloading early this morn ing. The Homer reached Ainsworth wharf about 9 o'clock. Besides 30 passengers, there were 230 fine pigeons for exhibition at the poultry show. The birds were brought from the Bijou lofts at Oakland, by Charles W. Cox, secretary of the Pacific Pigeon Fan ciers' Federation, and some of them at tracted much attention at the show at the Lewis and Clark Fair. The coops con tain 230 birds, representing 20 varieties, from the ordinary birds to monsters tip ping the scale at 2 pounds, feathers in cluded. Mr. Cox says he was treated so splendidly upg,n his last visit to Portland that he was highly pleased to have an op portunity to come again, and so brought many more birds than was necessary to toe represented. "Portland is the most hospitable, city I have ever had the pleasure to visit," said the pigeon-fancier, enthusiastically, while superintending the loading of the coops on an express wagon at the dock, "and I brought a large number of fine birds tnls time. In order to show that I appreciated what was done for me during the exhibi tion at the Fair." The three steamers enjoyed fine weather off the coast and report nothing out of the ordinary. COAL- FROM SWANSEA. Two Sailing Vessels Engaged to Bring Anthracite to Portland. Portland will be getting some fine coal from England soon, a cargo of about 3000 tons having left Swansea for this port via Hobart last July, on the French bark Jules Gommes. Another lot of coal will be set afloat from the samo port in a few weeks, when the French bark Le Pc'rouse sets sail for Portland. The Le Perouse was chartered yesterday by Balfour. Guthrie & Co. to go on the berth at Swansea, and it was stated that anthra cite coal will constitute a large portion of her cargo. Before commencing to use oil for the production of gas, many cargoes of coal were brought to Portland annually, but during the past year coal ships from England and even Australia have been few and far between. The last coal ship to arrive here was the British ship (Blythswood, from Newcastle, N. S. "W., and she discharged a large portion of her cargo at Astoria. The French bark Jean Bepttete, which reached the Columbia Hiver December 31. brought & coal cargo consigned! to S. Elmore & C.. of the city by the sea.

TEBEAU AND GRIFFITHS OUT They Deny Rumors of Secession After Defeat Plan to Increase Voting Power of Three Big gest Leagues Dropped. CHICAGO. Jan. 0. Any differences that may have existed among the various minor baseball leagues which compose the National Association of professional baseball clubs were amicably adjusted at the annual meeting here today of the con trolling organization. Eighteen associa tions, out of a total of 35, which makes up the parent body, were represented, and. although there was much rivalry over the naming of a new executive board, there was no evidence of a split, which It was said was probable, should the owners of a certain faction be presented for re election. This faction, which was headed by George Tebeau, of the American Associa tion, and Griffiths of the Eastern League, was able to muster orfly votes out of the IS cast and the places of these two on the executive board were filled by new members. Tebeau and Griffiths, who, it was declared prior to the meeting, would secede should they be defeated, after the meeting had adjourned tonight, expressed their entire satisfaction with the makeup of the association and said they would abide by Its decisions In every way. The makeup of the executive board, which settles all questions of dispute that may come up In the various associations follows: President. P. T. Powers, president of the -National Association of Professional Baseball Clubs, re-elected; secretary. J. H. Farrell. Auburn. N. T.. re-elected for a term of five years; and seven directors. Including Eugene Bert, of the Pacific Coast League, re-elected. Heretofore the board has been composed of but five directors, but at today's meet ing it was decided to add two members. Several minor changes were made In the constitution. An effort was made to change the voting power of the members according to their class, but was defeated. The proposition was to form a new class to be known as AA, to be composed of the Pacific Coast League, the American Association and the Eastern League, and to give this class and the present class A associations each a voting power of one and all the other classes composing the association only a third of a vote each. This plan met with so much opposition that it was withdrawn without being submitted to a vote. Chief among the changes made In the constitution was the severe action taken against players who may Jump their contracts. On the salary-limit question, no gen eral agreement was reached and it was decided to leave the fixing of a maxi mum limit to each league. Other amendments to the constitu tion aim to minimize the practlco of farming out players and of covering up fake sales. Hag Made Track Captain. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eageae. Jan. . (Special.

"So many conflicting reports are be ing received concerning the boycott in the Orient that It is impossible to form an Intelligent Idea of tho real conditions," said Theodore B. Wilcox yesterday In commenting on a report from Seattle to the effect that the flour mills there would possibly have to close down for a time because of the falling off of orders from China. "The output of flour has been heavy for some time." he continued, "and orders from China are not very encouraging, but our mills are running. However, there is no use talking of the boycott at present as no one seems to under stand the situation -and reports are as different as day and night." Despatch 3Iust Pay FJne. ASTORLV. Or.. Jan. 3.

Thirteen Houses Tumble Over Preci pice and Burn None of Occu pants Found Slides Feared. HAVERSTRAW. N. Y.. Jan. 3. To night 17 persons arc missing and are be lieved to have gone to their death whec 13 houses on Rockland street in Haver straw toppled over last night into a pit 60 feet deep, which had been cut by clay dlggcrs in connection with the brickmak ing industry here. Twelve of the persons missing were occupants of the fallen houses, five were among the rescuers who went to the aid of neighbors after the first house fell and were carried down when the 12 other houses went crashing over the precipice. The wreckage quickly caught fire, and those who were In the mass were either crushed or burned tc death. Tonight there is grave fear of another cave-In along the same street, and the occupants of seven or eight, houses have moved away. Others are keeping an all nlght vigil, ready to alarm their neigh bors In case of Impending danger. The missing tonight, all of whom ar believed to be dead, arc: Harry S.

John McMurray. Barley McGovern. Mrs. Joseph Dailey, Rev. Mr. Alden. a Jewish rabbi. The landslide which carried away the 13 houses was caused by the falling-in of a bank under which excavators of brick manufacturers had been working for a number of years. The ground began cracking and showing seams at noon yes terday, and some of the occupants of houses along the brink took warning and left. Others believed that nothing se rious would happen and remained. When the breaking occurred in the long line of land which formed the ragged edge of Rockland street the nearest house top pled over Into the pit with all who were within its walls. The occupants of the other houses prepared to leave in tho face of a blinding snow storm. A number of people who lived near by rushed to their aid and were assisting them in getting out when 12 more houses went down, carrying -with them not only the families which occupied them, but also several of those who had gone to their assistance. Overturned stoves set fire to the buildings. The landslide broke the water main, thus cutting off the entire supply, and the fire department was help less. Vandalism at Fair Grounds.
