GHANGE ITJ CHANNEL
Deeper Route Found by Gov
ernment Surveying Party.
JUST SOUTH OF OLD ONE
Colonel Koessler Reports That Sur
vey Will Be Completed Within
a Few Days Providing
Weather Permits.
Owing- to the rough weather prevailing
at the mouth of the Columbia during the
past few weeks, the party of Government
surveyors engaged In the work of measur
ing and mapping out the channel, have
not yet completed their labors, but expect
to conclude the work within the next two
or three days.
According to Colonel S. W". Roessler, of
the local office of the United States En
gineers, who has Just returned from a
tour of inspection, the main channel to
the sea will be changed somewhat, for a
new channel with a minimum depth of 24
feet has been located by the surveyors.
This channel diverges but slightly from
the one now used by the outgoing and In
coming vessels, and needs but little to
place it in excellent condition for regular
u.o.
The surveyors employed in the work on
the bar are using the tug Arago in the
pursuit of their labors, and are dependent
entirely on the condition of the weather
for purveying purposes. Should the weath
er remain settled during the next two
days the work will be completed by Sun
day at the latest.
The new channel which has been located
is a few yards south of the one now in
use, and is being marked by buoys which
will designate the route to be taken by
pilots. As soon as the work is completed
maps of the route will be sent to the Bar
Pilots' Association, which body has had
a voice in the selection of the new chan
nel. In referring to the conditions at the
mouth of the river. Colonel Roessler
stated that the new route was satisfactory
In every particular, and that it would
afford excellent passage for all manner of
craft. The chief of the local engineers'
department also stated that the work of
surveying the bar had progressed very
satisactorlly considering the unfavorable
weather conditions prevailing during the
time the surveyors have been employed.
While at the mouth of the river. Colonel
Roessler accompanied Commander Ever
ett H. Walker on a tour of inspection of
the various fortifications at Fort Stevens
and Fort Columbia, at each of which
places everything was found in excellent
condition. The officers also found that
many excellent scores were being made at
target practice by the artillerymen, both
with the large guns and small arms.
MAY MOVE HARBOR UN'E.
Conference This Morning to Discuss
Plans for Rearrangement.
A special meeting of those Interested In
the changing of the harbor line Just south
of the Burnside-street bridge has been
called for this morning at the offices of
the United States engineers, when plans
will be presented the Government officials
showing the desirability of the change.
The rearrangement of the harbor line
to being agitated in order to allow the
building of several of the docks farther
out In the stream, and, as it is necessary
to secure the Government's consent to
this proposition, the conference will be
held with the representatives of the Uni
ted States Engineer's Department.
BURNING VESSEL SIGHTED
Steamer Asuncion Reports Argus
Afire Off Cape Flattery.
SAN FRANCISCO. June 14. The Mer
chants' Exchange received the following
message from Seattle:
"The steamer Asuncion, which arrived
here today, reports that the four-masted
gasoline schooner Argos, which sailed
from Port Gamble for San Francisco, Is
on fire 35 miles south of Cape Flattery.
The crew had gone, and so far as the
Asuncion could ascertain, the schooner
had been abandoned." '
The tug Holyoke left Seattle this even
ing to search for the burning vessel. The
Argos was loaded with lumber.
I'XABLE TO SECURE SHIPS
Hoquiam Mills May Have to Cease
Operating.
HOQUIAM. Wash., June 14. Spe
cial.) Owing to the manufacturers of
this city being unable to ship any lum
ber during the past week it may pos
sibly be necessary to close down the
mills of this place and possibly all on
the harbor for an indefinite period.
Not a steamer has been in this port
since the Stetson sailed and as cars are
very scarce the manufacturers have no
way to ship their product. If the mills
are forced to close down It will react
on the camps and several thousand men
will be thrown out of employment un
less the strike is settled this week.
MILLS MAY CLOSE DOWX.
Vnless Strike Is Ended Operators
Will Cease Work.
ABERDEEN. Wash.. June 14. (Special.)
Nothing was done today towards loading
the steamers Centralia and Newburg,
which are held here on account of the
strike.' Millowners say they will await
the arrival of the steamer Coronado to
morrow and then attempt to load. The
Mill Owners' Association issued a mani
festo today announcing that unless the
steamers In port are allowed to load their
yards win be overstocked and that they
must of necessity be forced to close down
their plants.
XO CHAXGE IX SITCATIOX.
Strikers Endeavor to Prevent Sail
ing of Steamer Curacoa.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 14. There was
no change in the strike and lockout sit
uation along the water front today, but
the signs point to another effort to end
the tie-up.
The Pacific Coast Steamship Company
decided to send the Curacoa to Seattle
with a nonunion crew. The steamer had
a - full passenger list Ineffectual efforts
were made by the Sailors' Union to pre
vent the Curacoa from leaving port.
Jane Tt. Stanford to Be Surveyed.
ASTORIA. Or., June 14. (Special.) A
representative of the owners of the dis
abled barkentine Jane L. Stanford Is ex
pected to arrive here from San Francisco
tomorrow, when the vessel will be sur
veyed and arrangements made for repair
ing her. No clew has yet been found as
to the identity of the steamer with which
the Stanford collided at aea on Tuesday
night. Captain Mollestad says that when
the barkentine struck the steamer, tne
latter vessel rolled heavily to starboard,
but as near as he could see she quickly
righted again, and after a short stop, dis
appeared in the darkness, apparently pro
ceeding on her way. There is little doubt
among shipping men that the steamer was
damaged by the blow, and some fear is
expressed that she may have been lost,
but Captain Mollestad says If that were
sot and the men on board had taken to
the boats, they could have easily followed
the barkentine, as she drifted slowly to
ward the mouth of the river, and he
would have undoubtedly seen them before
being towed Inside.
Will Survey Steamer Elder.
The steamer George W. Elder, which
has been in the drydock since being
raised several weeks ago, Is to be brought
to Portland for some minor repairs. She
will be surveyed by Captain Andrew
Hoben, with a view of estimating the
amount of repairing needed to place her
in condition for operating. It is probable
that he will be taken to San. Francisco
for refitting.
Marine Kotes.
The barkentine Amelia finished loading
lumber at Rainier yesterday and left
down for San Francisco.
The steamer Albany, which has been
practically rebuilt, was given her trial run
after coming off the ways yesterday. .
The Port of Portland tender Winona
was placed on the drydock yesterday for
the purpose of undergoing some slight re
pairs. The barkentine Amazon is expected to
complete her cargo of lumber for Manila
tomorrow and will leave for her destina
tion the first of the week.
The steamer Alliance is due to arrive
from Coos Bay this evening, for, accord
ing to a message received by F. P. Baum-
gartner, she left there Wednesday even
ing. Inspectors Edwards and Fuller left yes
terday for Kalama, where they are to in
spect the barge Kalama, which is used as
a substitute for the railroad ferry when
the latter is being repaired.
The steamer Pronto, of the Willamette
& Columbia River Towing Company, will
leave for Kalama this morning. She is
a member of F. B Jones' fleet of towing
craft, and will be engaged in towing log
rafts to the local mills.
The steamer Telegraph met with an
accident at Eureka yesterday by which
she tore out about 20 feet of her upper
works in a collision with a cannery
dock. She left up on her way to Port
land, where sho will be repaired.
MAY HOIST ENGLISH FLAG
STRIKE THREATEXS TO CAUSE
VESSELS TO CHAXGE.
General Manager Pearce, of Pacific
Coast Company, Says Such Step
May Be Xeccssary.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 14. If the
present strike on the water front con
tainues and the conditions grow more
aggravating there is a possibility that
some of the vessels from this port may
sail under the flags of other nations.
General Manager W. S. Pearce, of the
Pacific Coast Steamship Company, de
clared today that if the unions try to
make trouble for him he will hoist the
English flag on the steamer Curacao,
then if any difficulty arises, it will be
passed up to the British Consul.
"I hate to take this step," said Pearce,
"but it is about the best way out of
this trouble with this particular vessel.
I can easily have her register changed
in Mexico and bring her into this port
under the flag of England. I do not
Intend to do this unless it is absolutely
necessary."
Andrew Furuseth, secretary of the
Sailors' Union, sought to detain the
Curacao, which sailed for Panama this
afternoon, by invoking Federal aid. He
sent a communication to the United
States inspectors of hulls and boilers,
advising them that the boat was car
rying a crew that did not understand
the English language. The inspectors
passed the matter up to the Treasury
Department, which discovered upon in
vestigation that there was no law cov
ering this particular case and the ves
sel was allowed to depart by the Fed
eral officials.
Captain Harry Goodall made the fol
lowing statement for the shipowners:
"There are four distinct reasons why
this association is opposed to arbitra
tion. The first is that men in our employ
receive better wages than any men in
the world doing the same kind of work.
"Second, we consider the present
agitation and trouble caused by the
unions to be entirely unjustified and
without cause; therefore there is noth
ing to arbitrate.
"Third, we have no guarantee that
these men will live up to the findings of
any board of arbitration.
"The fourth and last reason is that
we have serious doubts as to whether
or not we would be in a position to
accept the rulings of such a board."
The executive committee of the asso
ciation today sent messages to the
Mayor, Chief of Police and other offi
cials of Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles,
Gray's Harbor and other seaport towns
where there has been trouble, asking
them to see that law and order are
preserved and that the men on the va
rious vessels are given protection.

William Keighn Not Insane.
William Keighn is not crazy after ail.
Accordingly, he will have to face a charge
In Police Court of disorderly conduct.
Keighn is the East Slder who went on a
frolic with a butcher-knife a few even
ings ago, and chased his wife and family
out of the house. He also barricaded
himself and said he would mutilate the
first person that tried to disturb him.
He made no resistance, however, when a
couple of policemen arrested him. He
was taken to the County Jail and put in
the lunatic department, but an examina
tion by alienists yesterday revealed that
he is in normal control of his faculties.
He is now in jail awaiting trial.
Youngster Wanders Away.
Mike Conley. 6 years old, spent yester
day at the Police Station. The child
wandered away from home early in the
morning, and was picked up by Patrol
man Anderson at Fourteenth and Wash
ington street. At 3 o'clock a distracted
mother learned of his whereabouts, and
rescued him from the station, where he
had been made at home by the officers.
CRAIG WILL ACCEPT
Leaves 0. R. & N. for. the
Great Northern.
GIVEN HIGH POSITION
He Will Be Head of the Passenger
Traffic Department of the
Hill Ivlne With Offices
in St, Paul.
General Passenger Agent A. L. Craig,
of the O. R. & N., has accepted the posi
tion of passenger traffic manager of the
Great Northern, with offices at St. Paul,
and will leave for the East about June 20.
He will take possession of his new posi
tion on July 1. Tnls can be definitely an
nounced from authority that cannot be
questioned. Mr. Craig will not make a
formal announcement for a few days yet,
but it is known from other sources that
he has decided to leave the Harrlman
service and go with the Hill road.
Courtesy to the heads of the system,
and particularly to Traffic Director J. C.
Stubbs. forbids that Mr. Craig shall an
nounce his decision in the matter until his
resignation has been formally acted upon
by Mr. Stubbs, wh'o is a warm friend of
Mr. Craig. Messages have already passed
between the two on the subject of the
offer to Mr. Craig from the Great North
ern, and it is understood that the traffic
director urged Mr. Craig to stay with the
Harrlman system, but the latter has de
cided to take the position that is offered
in St. Paul.
Given Important Position.
As head of the Great Northern passen
ger department, Mr. Craig will take a
much more prominent position in the pas
senger world, with about double the sal
ary that the Harriman officials pay to
the head of the passenger department of
the O. R. & N. Few men could afford to
disregard such a splendid opportunity for
advancement. Coming as it does to Mr.
Craig wholly without solicitation, it is a
splendid testimonial of his ability in the
railroad business.
Mr. Craig is a very busy man these days
in closing up the affairs of his office pre
paratory to leaving for the East. Before
taking the position offered him in the Hill
service, he will attend a passenger meet
ing at Chicago as the representative of
the Harrlman roads in the Northwest, and
this will probably be his final service for
the system he has served for the past five
years with headquarters at Portland.
Friends Regret Departure.
Probably Mr. Craig never realized so
fully before the number of friends he has
made while he has been in this territory.
Expressions of regret are heard on all
sides that there is a likelihood of his
leaving Portland. Not only among rail
road men is this heard, but Mr. Craig's
very wide acquaintanceship all over the
state will unwillingly accept his decision
to leave. As the head of the passenger
department of the Harriman lines, it has
been his duty to meet prominent men of
all parts of the Northwest, and the num
ber of warm friends he has made was
never so evident as now.
DROP IX THE COAL TARIFF
Consequent Reduction In Price on
' Shipments From Wyoming.
Commencing today, there will be a re
duction In the price of coal to Portland
householders. The cut in price will de
pend in eize upon the location of the
mines which are the source of supply of
each consumer, but because of a reduc
tion in freight rates from the Wyoming
coal fields of 25 cents a ton, a correspond
ing reduction will be made by local
dealers.
The cut in freights applies on Wyoming
coal to all points on the O. R. & N. and
Southern Pacific lines in Oregon, stations
on the Columbia River & Oregon Central
and the Columbia Southern. The change
in freight tariffs and prices affects lump
and nut coal only, and will probably ap
ply until August 1.
Marked Reduction in Fares.
Fares between Portland and other prom
inent cities of the West will be materially
reduced on July 1 by the Harriman lines.
The present fare of $30 to Ogden, Utah,
will be $25.90 after the first of next month.
The charge of J25 for the 30-day first
class ticket to San Francisco will be cut
to $23.15. The second-class fare will not
be changed. After July 1 the Portlander
can go to Boise, Idaho, over the Harri
man lines for $15.30, whereas now the
charge is $16.15. The fare to Salt Lake
City will be reduced to $27 from the pres
ent charge of $31.50. Similar reductions in
fare to other points in the States of Cali
fornia, Nevada, Idaho, Wyoming, Colo
rado, Arizona and New Mexico, will be
made.
A. Lw Craig. general passenger
agent of the Harrlman lines in Oregon,
stated last night that the changes in
dicated were made with the view of
complying with the legal rate of 3
cents a mile prevailing in this state,
and for that reason any reductions
specified would not otherwise affect
Oregon.
Union Pacific Asks for Injunction.
TACOMA, Wash., June 14. The Union
Pacific this morning filed an Injunction
suit in the Superior Court to compel the
Northern Pacific to cease work on lot 3,
where the Northern Pacific has been
rushing spur tracks with the evident In
tention of blocking the Union Pacific.
Two tracks were laid by the Northern
Pacific yesterday across the Union Pa
cific survey on lot 3, which is Northern
Pacific property. The Northern Pacific
spur tracks were laid hurriedly without
any attempt at alignment, on the grass
and in mudholes, and with no regard to
grade. The work was continued last
night, and it is probable the injunction
will be too late to prevent connection
with the main line.
PAY HONOR TO S. C. FOSTER
Kentuckians Unveil Statue of Com-
poser of "Old Kentucky Home."
i
LOUISVILLE, June 14. It would
tax the ability of an accomplished
mathematician to estimate how many
times this week the music of "My Old
Kentucky Home" has floated on the air
of Louisville. Delegation after delega
tion from abroad has trooped through
the streets behind bands that have in
formed everybody within hearing "The
Sun shines Bright in My Old Kentucky
Home," the orchestras in the hotels
and cafes impart the same intelligence
every few minutes, people sing and
hum It in the streets..
And it is all a delightful bit of
humor. The sun has not shone bright
ly, or even otherwise, since the "Home
coming Week" was formally opened,
and it shows no Intention of doing
so. The skies are dark and lowering
today, and there is further promise of
an abundance of rain, and the bands,
with an optimism equaled only by their
lack of veracity, are still tooting to
the world that "The Sun Shines Bright
in My Old Kentucky Home."
Despite the tremendous drawbacks,
however, the home-coming week has
so far been an unequaled success. To
day was given over to the memory of
Stephen C. Foster, whose simple words
set to music have made Kentucky's
name a household word throughout the
world. It is doubtful if any composer
ever received a more flattering tribute
than that accorded to Foster today,
when 1000 of the school children of
Louisville, who by their contributions
have made possible for him a monu
ment of bronze, which is to stand in
the new capitol at Frankfort, sang his
beautiful music in chorus and cheered
every mention of bis name.
The exercises took place at the
Armory, and after addresses by Jerry
South, of Arkansas, and R. W. Miller,
of Richmond, Ky., the model of the
Foster statue was unveiled by Mrs.
Marlon Foster Welsh, daughter of Mrs.
Foster. Mrs. Jesse Wells Rose, grand
daughter of the composer, and his two
great - grandchildren, Dorothy Jane
Rose and Stephen Collins Foster Rose,
also were present. The chorus of chil
dren, accompanied by an orchestra,
then sang in a manner that evoked
enthusiastic cheers "My Old Kentucky
Home," "Old Folks at Home." "Old
Black Joe" and other of Foster's melo
dies. The rendition of a few of Fos
ter's melodies on the flute which he
used during his lifetime brought the
exercises to a close.
ACTION IN LAND FRAUDS
DEPUTIES IvEAVE TO BRING IiOS
ANGELES MEN HERE.
' f
S. A. D. Puter's Brother Arrives
, From Eureka to Look After
His Interests.
Arguments on the motion for a new trial
in the case of the United States against
Henry Meldrum', the convicted ex-Surveyor-General
of Oregon, will probably
begin before Judge Wolverton some time
this morning. The Government will be
represented by District Attorney Bristol,
while R, W. Montague, of Portland;
George C. Brownell, J. L. Hedges and
Frank L. Griffith, of Oregon City, and
Bonham & Mar'.in, of Salem, will appear
for the defendant.
In keeping with the policy of the de
fense as outlined In yesterday's Orego
nlan. District Attorney Bristol yesterday
afternoon was served with an amended
motion for a new trial in the Meldrum
case, setting forth the fact ot Judge Bel
linger's death, and challenging the right
of Judge Wolverton to pronounce sentence
under the circumstances.
It is thought the arguments will con
sume nearly the entire day, and it is
doubtful whether Judge Wolverton will
be prepared to render any immediate de
cision on the Issues involved.
Last night Special Agents M. A. Mey
endorff and U. E. Thompson left for Los
Angeles equipped with the necessary evi
dence to rebut the testimony that will be
offered by the defendants there to resist
removal to this place. The Indictments
against these defendants were returned
by the Federal grand jury April 9 last,
and embraced conspiracy cnarges under
section 5440 of the United States Revised
Statutes, against Warren Gilleton Rich
ard Hynes, M. M. Riley, Lee R. 'Myers,
A. H. Hedderly, R. W. Kenny. Jacob C.
Cross, Donald W. Goodwin, George L.
Stearns and Will D. Gould, of Los An
geles, and Richard D. Jones, William H.
Smith and Fred W. Dennis, of San Fran
cisco. Cal.
The hearing in the proceedings to re
move the first-named group of defendants
to Portland for trial will come up before
Commissioner Van jJyke early next week,
and it Is believed every effort will be
made to resist bringing them here, as all
those implicated are wealthy and promi
nent citizens of the Southern California
metropolis. While the Government feels
little alarm over the prospects of their
bejng able to resist successfully removal
on account of the findings of the United
States Supreme Court In the Hyde-Ben-son-Dimond-Schnelder
case, recently de
cided, covering practically all the issues
involved in the present proceedings. Dis
trict Attorney Bristol does not Intend to
take any chances, and for that reason has
dispatched the two special agents south
ward with a mass of evidence well calcu
lated to accomplish the desired results.
With the same idea in view. Mr. Bristol
next Saturday will eend Special Agents
E. W. Dixon. W. W. Scott and Lorin T.
Jones to Oshkosh, Wis., upon a similar
mission, and they will take with them
every particle of evidence required to
combat the contentions of the Wisconsin
lumbermen who are also resisting re
moval here. Advices from Washington,
D. C, Indicate that the United States
Commissioner who Is holding the prelim
inary hearing in these cases has received
a sharp reprimand from the Department
of Justice for attempting to assert a
higher authority than the Supreme Court
In his rulings, and it is now thought that
little difficulty will be experienced in se
curing the removal of the defendants
here for trial under the Indictments re
turned against them May 8, upon con
spiracy charges.
L. F. Puter. brother of S. A. D. Puter.
who is awaiting sentence under a con
viction returned by a Federal jury in
December. 1904. reached here from Eu
reka, Cal., yesterday morning, and will
probably hold a conference with his
brother some time today. Mr. Puter is
an attorney In the California city, and
his presence here now Is for the purpose
of looking after the legal interests of the
defendant. He may depart for New Tork
within the next day or so. however, un
less the prospective sentence of S. A. D.
Puter, June 21, may have a tendency to
defer his trip.
Francis J. Heney Is expected to reach
here on or before July 1, and it is quite
certain that the land-fraud trials will be
under full headway early next month
July 10, at the latest.
BODY FOUND IN RIVER.
No Evidence of Violence and No
Clue to Identity.
The body of an unknown man, badly
decomposed, was taken from the river
near, the east approach of the steel
bridge late yesterday afternoon. The
body was discovered floating on the sur
face by Oscar Hoch, who notified the
police. Coroner Finiey removed the body
from the river and took it to the morgue.
The corpse had plainly been in the river
two weeks or longer. There was no scrap
of paper that would serve to identify the
man, although fishing tackle in his pock
ets indicated that he might have fallen
into the river and drowned while fishing.
There were no marks of violence to indi
cate murder.
The body is that of a man between 50
and1 60 years old. The hair was gray, with
a gray mustache. On one leg was a rub.
ber invalid's sock. The body will be
held a few days while an effort Is made
to learn the identity of the dead man.
Insurance for Team-Owners.
NEW TORK, June 14. The Team-Owners'
Association of America wound up its

' WEAK STOMACH
AND SICK HEADACHE CURED BY
DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS.
An other Triumph for th Tonic Treat
ment for Disorders of the
Digestive System.
The symptoms of stomach trouble
vary. Some victims have a ravenous
appetite, others loathe the sight of food.
Often there is a feeling as of -weight on
the chest, a full feeling in the throat.
Sometimes the gas presses on the heart
and leads the sufferer to think he has
heart disease. Sick headache is a fre
quent and distressing symptom.
A weak stomach needs a digestive
tonio and that there is no better tonio
for this purpose than Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills is shown by the statement of Mr.
A. O. Merrill, a mining man, of Oneals,
Calif., a veteran of Battalion O, Third
U. 8. Regular Infantry.
" I had never been well sinoe I left
the army," he says, "always having had
trouble with my stomach, which was
weak. I was ran down and debilitated.
Could keep nothing on my stomach,
and at times had Bick headache so bad
that I did not care whether I lived or
died. My stomach refused to retain
even liquid food and I almost despaired
of getting well as I had tried so many
kinds of medicine without relief. Then
I was bitten by a rattlesnake and that
laid me up from work entirely for a
year, six months of which I spent in bed.
" One day a friend recommended Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills to me and I began
taking them. They oared me when all
other medicine had failed. I have
recommended the pills to a great many,
for during my recovery every one asked
me what was helping me so and I told
them Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I can
not speak too highly of them."
If yon want good health you must have
good blood. Bad blood is the root of
all common diseases, like anaemia,
rheumatism, sciatica, neuralgia, St.
Vitus' dance, nervousness, indigestion,
debility, general weakness, paralysis,
locomotor ataxia and the - special ail
ments that only women-folk know. Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills actually make new
blood and this is the secret of their suc
cess in these diseases.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists or sent, postpaid, on re

owners against the losses they sustained
by having to pay for merchandise stolen
after it was put on the trucks. The
New York Team-Owners' . Association, he
said, lost $60,000 in this way in 1905. He
recommended that the team-owners get
together and arrange some system of
blanket insurance which would protect
all the members from loss through stolen
or damaged goods.
SAILS OVER WASHINGTON
Aeronaut Has His Machine Under
Full Control.
WASHINGTON, June 14. An airship,
under complete control, flying over Wash
ington, was the spectacle witnessed here
today. Thousands turned out to see the
novel sight, and cheered the navigator as
he skillfully directed the craft.
The ship started from a point three
miles from Washington on the Virginia
side. After twice circling the monument
at a distance of 400 feet, it steered for
the White House, where it landed 50 yards
from the south portico. Mrs. Roosevelt
was at the window when the descent was
made, and exhibited great interest in the
strange-looking structure.
After remaining a short time, the navi
gator ascended, carrying his ship over
the newspaper offices, and then took a
straight course down Pennsylvania ave
nue for the Capitol, where it was viewed
by thousands of people, and also by Sen
ators and Representatives and the em
ployes about the building.
The navigator finally brought his ship
to the earth directly in front of the Capi
tol. After remaining IB minutes he again
set sail, passed over the building north
of the dome and started back to Virginia.
Programme of Hudson Centennial.
NEW YORK, June 15. Plans for the
celebration of the 300th anniversary of
Henry Hudson's exploration of the river
which bears his name, and the 100th an
niversary of the first successful naviga
tion of that river by steam by Robert
Fulton, have taken tangible shape. The
