French bark Blgart arrives at Port Townsend with tale of untold hardships. Steamer Panama wrecked on Lake Superior and crew missing. The river steamer Lurllne, plying between Portland and Astoria, waa rammed ind sunk in 20 feet of water near the shore about one mile above Rainier, at 3:45 o'clock yesterday morn lnK, by the towboat Cascade. The Lurllne filled and sank so quick ly after the collision that It was only due to. the shallow water that another llx alTalr was not recorded. As It hap pened, the twenty-odd passengers and members of the crew of the sunken craft were all safely transferred to the Cascade, without being any the worse lor their experiences. The Lurllne was caught almost amid ships, the bow of the Cascade tearing a hole that caused her to fill rapidly. The Cascade stood by and took oT the passengers and crew, and proceeded to Rainier, where she had to undergo temporary repairing before she could continue on her way to Portland. The damage to the Cascade is merely super ficial, for the two holes In her bow can be repaired easily and with little cost. For the purpose of having this work attended to immediately, the craft will be hauled on the ways at the yards of the Tortland Shipbuilding Company this morning. At the time of the collision the Lur line was in charge of Pilot Kane Ol ney, while the Cascade was in charge of Pilot McNally. Just whioh steamer was to 'blame for the accident will be determined at the inquiry to be con ducted by the I'nlted States Inspectors Kd wards and Fuller, who will have the officers of each craft before them as soon as possible. The Lurllne had just left Rainier, where she had taken on some "freight for this city, and was probably five minutes out from her wharf when, according to the guarded statements of the officers, the lights of another steamer were plainly discernible through the fog. Accounts as to whether the two steamers gave signal whistles seem to indicate that the sig nals were given correctly, but in some manner it became apparent to those on the Lurllne that the Cascade waa hearing down on them. The Lurline was about 100 feet off shore, and on that account she was unable to sheer in toward land, and before she could back out of the way, the Cascade crashed Into her side. Officers on both boats refused to dis cuss the affair at any length and ex plained the affair in the shortest terms, claiming that all they had to say would be told the inspectors at the inquiry, and that they would not talk for pub lication. The same conditions pre vailed with reference to the crew of both boats, and as few of the passen gers were awake at the time, their knowledge of the causes of the colli sion are limited to hearsay. The passengers however are unani mous in their testimony as to the or derly manner in which their transfer from the sinking craft to the Cascade was conducted. In this effort no con fusion and no delay was experienced and all the persons were Bafely taken off. Some of the passengers did not wait to be taken to Portland on the Cascade, but took the train at Rainier. Pilot Olney and J. Nelson, who waa on t-e lookout on the Lurllne at the time of the accident, state that they Raw the lights of -the Cascade but a few moments before the collision and were unable to back their vessel out of harm's way. Pilot McNally of the Cascade stated that the fog was to blame for the accident. The sunken craft la one of the best known vessels on the river and Is own ed and operated by the Vancouver Transportation Company, of which concern Jacob Kamm. the pioneer steamboat man of this city is the con trolling owner. She has met with fre quent accidents before, and has on one or two occasions been sunk by strik ing rocks or submerged logs. 'Wreck ing appliances will be sent to Rainier today and an effort will be made to raise her. In the meantime the steam er Undine of the same line, will be taken off the Vancouver run and op erated on the route of the sunken steamer. The steamer Cascade, which rammed the Lurllne. was formerly used by the United States Engineers in their vari ous works on the Columbia and Wil lamette rivers. She was purchased from the government some time ago and Is used to tow logs for the North Pacific Lumber Company. SCIIOOXEK RAMS THE MAIN North German Lloyd Liner Has Hole Stove In Her Side. . NEW YORK, Nov. 22. As the North German Lloyd liner Main waa steaming up the bay this morning she was rammed by the schooner May V. Neville, which was going out to sea, accompanied by the steamships Amerlka and La Savoie. In maneuvering to avoid the latter two vessels the Main collided with the schooner. She was struck midships and a hole ten feet In diameter torn in her Bide by the Jibboom of the sailing vessel. The liner tore away the bowsprit and part of the stem of the schooner, but the damage to each vessel was slight. The ship's butcher on the Main was slightly injured, this being the only casualty reported. The Neville was towed back for repairs. The steamer proceeded to her dock under her own steam. SUFFERS MANY HARDSHIPS French Bark Blgart Arrives at Pa get Sound After Storm Voyage. PORT TOWNSEND, Wash., Nov. 22. With practically every sail torn to shreds and one member of the crew missing, the French bark Blgart reached port yester day. She was 178 days out from Glasgow, and encountered many severe gales. For 16 days she was buffeted about by fierce gales off Cape Flattery before she could enter the Straits of Juan de Fuca. The captain and crew did not sleep for nights and days, and when the craft ap peared here for customs entry they were so weak that they could not attend to the duties required. During the storm off the Vancouver coast on November 16. Charles Guille mont. able seaman, fell from the rigging to the deck and was washed into the sea. GUNBOT IS STRANDED. British Warship Goes Ashore Near "Kumchull in China. HONGKONG, Nov. 22. The British river gunboat Robin stranded today on a sand bank at Kumchull. The gunboat Moorhen has been dispatched to her aid, and the torpedoboats Fame and Handy will fol low them. No lives were lost. The out. look for refloating the vessel is considered hopeful. The Robin is 100 feet long, with a beam of 20 feet, and a mean draft of 20 Inches. She was built for service in shallow riv ers. COLLISION AT BAY CITY. Schooner Louis and Ship Clan Gal- braith Come Together. SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 22. The tug Samson, arriving this morning from the Columbia River with the five-masted schooner Louis in tow, collided with the British ship Clan Galbraith, which was anchored off Black Point. The ship had her jibboom and head gear carried away. The schooner lost her Jigger mast, her cabin was stove In and her starboard stanchions and rail were smashed. Bay City Shipping Disturbed. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 22. A strong northeast wind, with a velocity of 32 miles an hour, swept over this city last night and today. Shipping was consid erably disturbed, although no great dam age has been reported. Traveling on the ferryboats was rough and a few passen gers became seasick. STREAM RETRACTS CHARGE CAPTAIN OF WRECKED VESSEL WITHDRAWS ACCUSATION. Captain Gronvold Exonerated by Master of Emma Claudlna for Failure to Aid Ship in Distress. ABERDEEN, Wash.. Nov, 22. (Special.) Captain Stream of the schooner Emma Claudlna today withdrew his charges of cowardice against Captain Gronvold of the schooner Glendale for his refusal to lend assistance to the Claudina when in distress. Captain Gronvold, however, will ask that seven captains be selected, three by Captain Stream and three by the master of the Glendale. with one neutral, to hear testimony and decide the question. Captain Gronvold will demand this of Captain Stream notwithstanding the latter's withdrawal of his charges. COFFEE MUST BE MARKED New Orders as to Shipments Re ceived by Customs Officials. The local Collector of Customs has received orders from the Acting Secretary of Commerce and Labor relative to the markings of coffee shipments. The order is as follows: "Shippers' manifests of coffee exported, after December 1, 1906, must describe the shipments as 'Porto Rican coffee,' or as 'Coffee other than Porto Rican,' as the case may be. Colectors of Customs will give notice of this requirement to ship pers of coffee; and warn them that ship pers' manifests must be made out proper ly and be carefully scrutinized before verification; and, further, that any person making false oath to such manifest may be prosecuted under the statutes prescrib ing a penalty for perjury." Asi coffee Is on the free list, no matter whether it was grown in Porto Rico, the South Sea Islands or Arkansas, it is not known just why such care should be taken regarding the "birthplace" of the bean. Abbie Clears With Lumber. ASTORIA, Or., Nov. 22. (Special.) The two-masted schooner Abbie cleared at the custom-house today for San Francis co with a cargo of 163,000 feet of lumber, loaded at Rainier. Marine Notes. The San Francisco & Portland Steam ship Company's liner Costa Rica sailed for San Francisco late last evening with a full cargo of freight and nearly 100 pas sengers for San Francisco. The Portland & Asiatic liner Numantia shifted over to the Portland Flouring Mills yesterday to commence loading her cargo of flour for Hongkong. This vessel is to carry nearly 60,000 barrels. The British tramp steamship Manches ter Port, which is on the way up from Astoria, will be placed on the Port of Portland drydock this morning. She is scheduled to take a mixed cargo of wheat and lumber to China. A Are on the steamer Alliance was dis covered In the nick of time last evening. The flames were caused by an overflow of oil In the fireroom which became Ignited and only the excellent work of the ves sel's crew saved a conflagration. She was moored at the Couch-street dock, and the fire department responded to an alarm from box 16, but the flames had been ex tinguished before their arrival. Arrivals and Departures.

WANTS HALF A, MILLION FIRE CHIEF CAMPBELL SUB MITS ESTIMATES. Asks $409,498 for Actual Running Expenses and $100,000 for Bet terments in Department. According to the estimates filed by Fire Chief Campbell, the fire depart ment will require $409,498 for running expenses during the coming year. He figures that this amount will be neces sary to meet actual expenses of main tenance and will recommend the ex penditure of 1100,000 more to make the department more efficient. He says $409,498 appropriation must be made. The appropriation for the de partment for-the current year was ap proximately $300,000. Chief Campbell submitted his esti mates at a meeting of the tire com missioners held yesterday afternoon. It was stated at the meeting what the total of his estimates was, but his whole report was not made public. Additional copies of it will be made and the fire commissioners will hold a special meeting to consider it. The department is gradually being en larged and this calls for additional ex penditures. Two new engine houses have been completed, one at Twenty eighth and Davis streets and the other in Brooklyn, but they will not be oc cupied before the first of the year. , John Montag, one of the fire com missioners, became incensed at the meeting when City Electrician Sava rian recommended that the one bjd submitted for 'tne installation of anew central oiflce alarm system be accept ed. This bid of approximately $5000 was made by the Gamewell Fire Alarm & Telegraph Company. Montag vigor ously expressed himself against award ing the contract, and after long discus sion it was agreed to re-advertise for bids. The Are commissioners had expected another bid, but it was not forthcom ing. Electrician bavarian said he did not believe any other company was anxious to compete and thought that the bid submitted by the Gamewell Fire Alarm & Telegraph Company was reasonable. He read an editorial from a Cleveland newspaper which criticised a system installed in that city by the other company winch was expected to enter a bid. ; The editorial attacked Mayor Johnsoh for having installed the alleged defective system. This aroused the ire of Montag. Mayor Johnson and Montag are of the same politics, both are Democrats. i "You needn't tell me that that edi torial wasn't prejudicecV' Montag cried. "Someone wanted to take a fall out of Mayor Johnson. I want It understood right here that I won't have this single-bid business rammed down my throat. We'll have competition or know the reason why." and with this Montag brought liis fist down on the table with a bang. The other members of the committee appeared surprised at the heat shown by Mr. Montag, but said little or noth ing. An agent of the Gamewell Fire Alarm & Telegraph Company urged that the bid from his company be ac cepted, but his argument did not tend to improve the temper of Montag. The commissioners considered a long time but finally decided to re-advertise. Upon the recommendation of Fire Chief Campbell, Lieutenant Woods was reduced to the ranks. Charges of in competency were brought against Woods, but Chief Campbell stated that he did not desire to have him dismissed from the department. IN THE FOG FOUR VESSELS ARE DAMAGED ON PUGET SOUND. Masters of Iilners Complain of the Carelessness of the Navigators ( of the Mosquito Fleet. SEATTLE, Wash., Nov. 22. (Special.) During a heavy fog that hung over the harbor this morning four steamers col-, lided within a stone's throw of the line of wharves along the waterfront. The stem of the Alkl Point steamer Manette was badly torn by the Monticello, coming Into port from Paulsbo and eight feet of the apron of the ferry steamer City of Seattle was carried away by the steamer Kitsap, built at Portland and Bent around to the Sound two months ago. The ferry had missed her slip and was backing out for another guess at the land ing when the Kitsap struck her. The Ma nette and the Monticello met head-on and struck exactly on their stems. A the Manette's stem was badly damaged, her flagstaff carried away and other injury done, it is shown a slight deviation in the course of the two oats would have caused serious damage. As it was, no one was injured in either collision, but a panic among passengers on the four boats was created and the crowds on the dock be came wildly excited. Though today's collisions occurred dur ing a heavy fog, they emphasize a bitter complaint masters of the big Alaska, San Francisco and foreign liners are making against the vessels in the mosquito fleet. It Is charged by the big liners that the small boats are exceedingly careless in the harbor, darting in and out about the larger and more unwieldy vessels at all times and inviting serious disaster by in sisting upon the right of way. ScoreB of launches are In the bay at all times, and the big steamship companies claim these small craft pay absolutely no attention to the rules of the road and at night fail to carry the lights the law de mands. They are In the hands of men or boys without licenses. Today's makes the third collision in Se attle harbor within less than a week, and masters of the big boats are Insisting that the marine inspectors take drastic action to put a stop to the dangers. The laxity with which the law has been enforced in the past Is blamed for much of the trou ble In operating In the harbor here. SLAVES OF ALCOHOL Three Drunkards Get Stem Justice in Police Court. ONE LOSES HIS FAMILY Judge Cameron Orders Charles Me Kinney Locked Up, That Wife and Children May Leave Him Forever. I When Charles MeKinney. a Portland mechanic, was taken to the city jail yesterday morning to serve a term of two days for drunkeness he had a wife and two children. When he leaves the jail tomorrow morning he will have neither wife nor family. They are now "on their way to Nebraska, where Mrs. MeKinney will live with relatives on a farm, of the whereabouts of which MeKinney knows nothing. ' Not even the authorities know the woman's new address. If MeKinney wishes to go In search of his family, he will find that they are somewhere in the State of Nebraska, but no more. He might as well search for a needle In a hay stack. MeKinney deserved to lose his family, say the police, and Judge Cameron sent the man to jail for the sole purpose of giving the family time to escape from what the judge regarded as a menace to their welfare.' MeKinney is a victim of alcoholism. His is rather unusual in some of its features. Three months ago he was an industrious and hard working mechanic, earning good wages. His wife says that about this time he got into the habit of drinking with his friends "for sociability's sake." The taste for liquor grew on him and he acquired a perennial thirst. Before many weeks had passed he was spending the whole of his weekly wage for liquor. Then he quit work and began spending his savings. Soon every dollar he could claim as his own had gone to quench his newly acquired thirst. Mrs. MeKinney says that she had $700. which she had inherited at the death of a relative, and when - his own money was gone, the head of the family asked her to put this amount in the bank to his credit. Mrs. MeKin ney says she refused, at first, but after be ing roundly abused consented and let her husband have a part of the money. She was' living in hODes that he would come to realize his folly. A few days ago, however, it became apparent that he was going . to run tnrougn the whole $700. Mrs. MeKin ney Bays she saw want ahead for her self and children and determined to save some of the money. Testerday morning when the shift less head of the family made his daily demanu for cash he was refused and informed that only $200 remained and that this must be kept for the chil dren. MeKinney became abusive and threatened violence. While he was in the heat of his tirade his wife step ped to the telephone and called the police. The husband was arrested and taken before Judge Cameron. MeKinney would have received a long term on the rock pile but for one thing his wife refused to prose cute him. She said she would be sat isfied if the court would lock up her husband until she could get out of the state with the children. She was done with him, she said. Protesting wildly, MeKinney was locked in 'a cell. His wife and chil dren left without saying goodbye. The prisoner did not know that his family was leaving him, nor will he be so informed until his release this morn ing. He is entirely without money and will have to go to work, or else join the gutter derelicts. Whether he will turn back or strike a still faster pace on the road to ruin remains to be seen. Justice Makes Speed Record. x In dealing with another unfort. ate slave of John Barleycorn, Justice made a brand new record in Judge Came ron's Court yesterday. Frank D. Lloyd, who says he Is an agent, stole an ov ercoat at 8:45 o'clock. At 10:45 he was under sentence to erve a year for larceny and at 11:15 A.M. he was serving tlmt in the county jail. Lloyd committed the theft to get money lor liquor. He loitered about the Hub clothing store until nobody was looking, then seized a cheap over coat and took it to a pawnshop where he pledged It for $1.25. This trans action led to nis a-r-jV,, rest., -uti oi m i( 1 .t . i .. .1 . L-B. . i gone to enricn ine liquor interests by that time. The speed with which he received the penalty for his crime fairly took Lloyd's breath away. Ho wanted no lawyer, was promptly found guilty, in view of the conclusive evidence intro duced, and was given a severe sen tence. Spent $4 for Clothes. John McCary, a husky logger from Scappoose, will' break rocks for the county during the next thirty days be cause of his fond- e ness for the flowing bowl. McCary came to Portlatfd Monday with $142, his sum mer's savings. He came to buy his outfit of winter clothing. Of the $142, $4 went for a pair of heavy bro gans. The rest was spent for liquor for himself and the sa- loon loafers who tt,Wv loiter around the isortn na aives awaiting the part ing of fools and their money. The court thought an 18-karat fool such as this one ought to give some of his wealth to the public, and since Mc Cary hadn't a cent left with which to get back to the logging camps, he was sent to the Kelly Butte rockplle for thirty days. Liquor had still another bond slave on hand In the person of John Larson, a young man of twenty years. Lar son's habits would reflect credit on an abandoned gutter bum" of twenty years standing. The police say he is continually hanging about cheap sa loons, : ..citing drinks from all who can be induced to buy. He was dis heveled, unkempt, and his face was pitifully drawn and warped by dissipa tion. Judge Cameron thought that a month of good hard work in the open air Awva .-.am would brace him up and accordingly the young man will break rock for a "moon." NATION'S MERCHANT SHIPS Building on Increase, hut Few for Foreign Commerce, WASHINGTON, Nov. 22. The annual report of Commissioner of Navigation Chamberlain states that on July 30 last, the documented merchant vessels of the United states numbered 25,006, of 6,674,899 gross tons. The report urges the enactment of the merchant marine commission bill, which has passed the Senate, including the pro vision for American mail lines to South America, and favors the bill to abolish the discrimination against coasting vessels fn pilotage charges in the states from Virginia to Texas. The summary of the report says: "The year's construction was 1221 vessels, of 418,745 gross tons. Only three ocean steamers were built. The tonnage built during the current fiscal year up to November 19 aggregates 203,000 gross, and if the present rate of construction is not checked by strikes or delays the output of our shipyards will be the largest in half a century, and will be close to the output of 583,000 tons in 1855, the year of our greatest construction. During the year only 12 per cent of the exports and im ports of the United States were carried in American vessels." Mr. Chamberlain publishes a full list of all the vessels in trade between the United States and South America dur ing the first six months of this year. An American merchant steamer, he says, is never seen in the ports of Bra zil, Argentina, Uruguay, Chile or Peru. The report says that of 126,754 men shipped, 37,675 were native, 23,456 naturalized Americans and the remain der aliens. l'EAK'S INCOME OF RAILROADS Increase of Nearly $97,000,000 In Net Earnings.

Arrange ments are reported for the establishment in this city of a Government torpedo fac tory where all of this class of explosives used in the United States Navy will be manufactured independent of private con cerns. HEAD WAS CRUSHED IN Engineer Is Found Dead Beside His Engine. SONORA, Cal., Nov. 22. Engineer William Stemm Is dead and Conductor Bishop injured as the result of an ao cident near Camp No. 17 on the Hetchy Railroad, the West Side Lumber Com pany's narrow-gauge railroad above Tuolumne. At an early hour this morning, engine No. 1, with Engineer Stemm and Conductor Bishop in the cab, was backing down to the water tank. It left the track, running against the bank. Bishop jumped and, hearing another train approaching, ran back to flag it, and just as he did so he dropped to the ground in a faint. Back near the engine they found the lifeless body of Engineer Stemm, his head crushed in. Catarrh of the Stomach A Pleasant, Simple, but Safe and Effectual Onre for It. COSTS NOTHING TO TRY. Catarrh of the stomach has long been considerd the next thing to incurable. The usual symptoms are a full or bloating sensation after eating, accompanied some times with sour or watery risings, a formation of gases, causing pressure on the heart and lungs and difficult breath ing, headaches, fickle appetite, nervous ness and a general played-out, languid feeling. There Is often a foul taste in the mouth, coated tongue, and if the Interior of the stomach could be seen it would show a slimy, inflamed condition. The cure for this common and obstinate trouble is found in a treatment which causes the food to be readily, thoroughly digested before it has time to ferment and Irritate the delicate mucous surfaces of the stomach. To secure a prompt and healthy digestion is the one necessary thing to do and when normal digestion is secured the catarrhal condition will have disappeared. According to Dr. Harlanson, the safest and best treatment is to use after each meal a tablet, composed of Diastase, Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux, Golden Seal and fruit acids. These tablets can now be found at all drugstores under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and not being a patent medicine can be used with perfect safety and assurance that healthy appetite and thorough digestion will follow their regular use after meals. Mr. R. 3. Workman, Chicago, 111., writes: "Catarrh is a local condition re sulting from a neglected cold in the head, whereby the lining membrane of the nose becomes inflamed and the poisonous dis charge therefrom passing backward into the throat reaches the stomach, thus pro ducing catarrh of the stomach. Medical authorities prescribed for me for three years far catarrh of stomach without cure, but today I am the happiest of men after using only one box of Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets. I cannot find appropriate words to express my good feeling. I have found tiesh, appetite and sound rest from their use." Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest preparation as well as the simplest and )0st convenient remedy for any form of Indigestion, catarrh of stomach, bilious ness, sour stomach, heartburn arid bloat ing after meals.

HOW DEBILITY SHOWS AND WHY DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS ARE A SPECIFIC FOR IT. A Casa in Watertown in Which a Palo, Weak Girl was Mads Strong And Well. The symptoms of general debility vary according to the cause but weakness is always present, a tendeucy to perspire aud fatigue easily, ringing iu the ears, sometimes block spots passing before the eyes, weak back, vertigo, wakeful ness caused by inability to stop thinking, and uurefreshiug sleep. The cause of the trouble may be some draiu on the system or it may be mental or physical overwork, sometimes insufficient nutri tion due to digestive disturbance. ' Iu the latter case there is generally a loss of appetite and a coated tongue as well as general languor and debility. Miss Lulft M. Metzger, a stenographer, living at 71 Mill street, Watertown, N.Y., suffered for over a year from general debility. "It was caused by overstudy," she says, "and I had no ambition, didn't want to go anywhere, my food didn't taste good, I was run down, lifeless aud listless. I took medicines but they failed to help me. Finally friends recom mended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to my mother and she got some for me. I took them for some time nnd was entirely cured and have had no return of the trouble." The mother, Mrs. George Metzger, is also enthusiastic iu her praise of Dr. Williams' Pink. Pills and says that they axe her favorite family remedy. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure debility because they actually make new, red, rich blood, aud as the blood carries nourish in ent to all the organs and tissues of the body, nerves as well as muscles, the new blood stimulates the organs to do the work that nature expects of them and normal health follows. As the stomach is toned np, indigestion disap pears and greater nourishment is de rived from the food. The nerves are re vitalized and refreshing sleep is ob tained. Not only is this tonio treatment sufficient to cure debility but many severe disorders of the blood aud nerves have yielded to its curntive notion.
