TWO INSTANTLY KILLED Third Soon Expires Vessel Bringing Cargo From Rotterdam for Port land Arrived at Artorta With Story of the Disaster. ASTORIA, Or., iffarch 27. (Special.) The four-maste British bark Jordanhill, Captain Kennsly, arrived in this after noon, 157 dayfj from Rotterdam, with a general carps for Portland. The bark reports a vwy rough trip and the loss of three man, who fell from aloft, Ught winds were encountered after leaving ixrt until the line was crossed, when the vessel came into numerous storms and during a sudden squall all the sails were carried away. Rough weather was also met off the Horn, -but the bark escaped without injury. Light winds were encountered after rounding the Horn until about three weeks ago, when in latitude 30 north the bark ran Into a succession of severe squalls, miring one of them A. Bellenberg, Tonki and S. Johansen. able eeamen, fell from the main yard onto the deck as they were taking in sail. Bellenberg and Tonki were instantly killed and Johansen lived only about an hour. All were buried at sea on the following day. Just how the acci dent occurred is not known, but It is sup posed that one of them mipsed his footing and the others fell while attempting to aspifft him. Th Jordanhfli has been off the mouth of the river for-a week and Captain Ken nraly sayf the gale last Friday was one of thh worst he ever experienced. His barometer dropped to 28:90 and the vessel was running under lower topsails. Al though these sails were new they were torn into ribbona by a squall which struck the vessel without a moment's warning. HEAVY DEMURRAGE CLAIMED Owners of Bark Asie Demand $5000 l Yom the Charterers. A board of arbitration was convened yesterday to determine the validity of the claim of the owners of the bark Asie for $."iO00 demurrage. James Gleason repre sents the French owners and J. Couch Flanders is appearing for Balfour, Guth rie & Co., charterers. Captain Humbert, of the Asie, placed a claim for 30 days' demurrage and the local agents of Bal four, Guthrie & Co. contested on the ground that they could not secure wheat on account of the car shortage. Judge Stfles, of Seattle, recently decided t hat demurrage could not be collected from charterers when the rail transport tation companies were in no position to carry wheat to the shipping port. In case the arbitration board takes this view of the Asie case there will be a number of demurrage claims virtually decided. It is doubtful if the lay days of the Emllic Galine, Leon XIII and the Jaques are sufficient to see them loaded. Ml'SKOKA LEAVES FOR SOUND Goes From Astoria in Tow and Will Tiike Lumber for Wet Coast. The British bark Muskoka, under char ter to load lumber at one of the ports on Turret Sound for the West Coast of South America, has completed her ballast and will leave down this morning in tow of the steamer Ocklahama. At Astoria the Muskoka will be picked up by one of the bar tugs and taken to Flattery, where she will be transferred to one of the boats of the Puget Sound Towboat Company. She will receive orders at Port Town send. The Muskoka arrived in Portland De cember 17 from Hamburg with a full cargo of cement. After discharging, the ship went to the Elevator dock and tied up awaiting charter. Wheat rates were down and as the Muskoka was an Asso ciation boat there was no chance for a grain charter. The Oweenee, belonging to the same owners as the Muskoka. sailed from Portland with a cargo of .lumber for Valparaiso February IB. BARK DIMSDALE ARRIVES UP Two Square Riggers In Astoria and Another Is Fully Due. The British bark Dimsdale, from Ham burg via Honolulu, arrived in the harbor last night. She brings cement, potters elay and fertilizer. The French bark Armen and the British bark Jordanhill are In Astoria and will come up the river within a day or two. The Zinita is out 52 days from Antwerp and Is fully due at this port. None of the vessels men tioned made an average passage or bet ter. There is a fair sized list of vessels en route for tne Columbia River, and with the disengaged tonnage in port the ship ping business bids fair to keep moving during the entire season. The cereal year ends June 30, and generally there is little doing for the last two months of the year, There is etill a considerable amount of grain in the interior which must be moved in order to make room for the new crop. The car and fuel shortage, to gether with the ice blockade, held this grain back from tidewater for nearly two months. 1 HEDGE CLACKAMAS RAPIDS Oregon City Advocates Removal of Obstruction to River Navigation. OREGON CITY, Or.. March 27. (Spe cial.) Colonel Roessler. United States Army, in charge of the engineering work of the Government, Captain EL YV. Spen cer, Captain Hosford and Mr. Marshall, of Portland, were In the city yesterday, and a proposal was made to dredge out a channel In the Willamette River from the deep water near St. John's Catholic Church down through Moklrum's bar and past the rap lib at the point where the Clackamas tlows into the Willamette. At the recent session of Congress an appropriation of JtJO.OOO was made for work on the upper "Willamette and a portion of this money is available for work here, if, in the opinion of the Gov ernment engineers, such improvement is desirable and necessary in the interest of commerce and navigation. The channel proposed would elimate a fall of seven feet at the Clackamas rap ids, and It is estimated that cost of dredging a channel eight feet deep and : feet wide, extending 4008 feet through the gravel bottom of the river to a point below the rapids, would not .exceed $.X00. Members of the Board of Trade are re newing the agitation for a free public wharf in connection, with the proposed improvement. IACNCH NEW FERRY TUESDAY Boat Will P ly Between St. Joans ant. West Side. ' The new ferry to be operated between St. Johns -and the west side of the Wil lamette River Is being completed and will be launched next Tuesday, if nothing pre vents. It will then be towed to Port land to receive machinery. The ferry will exceed the requirements of the franchise granted the company, as it will have ca pacity to carry eight teams at the same time, four on each side of the cabin. The requirements were that the ferry should carry six teams. P. J. Peterson, one of the owners, says the ferry was built much largrer than at first thought necessary, in order to be prepared for any emergency. The traf lic over the Llnnton road and across this ferry Is expected to be large this Sum mer. It will be the connecting link across the river at St. Johns for the driveway down the Willamette River on both sides. The new ferry will cost about $14,000, and will be in operation the latter part of April. Bark Galena Sold for Junk. ASTORIA, Or., March 27. (Special.)

Shute, one of the owners, for a consideration of $2500. This is for the vessel as she lies on the beach, includ ing everything on board her, excepting the personal effects of the officers and crew.

Fearing violence at the handR of his enemies. Moy Bak Hin. Chinese Consul for Oregon. Washington, Idaho and Mon. tana, called on the police last night for protection. About 300 of the Chinese al lied against the Emperor's appointee held a mass meeting in a jossliouse opposite police headquarters, but it was orderly and it was said after the session that Moy Bak Hin's name was not mentioned during the proceedings. When it was announc! in Chinatown that a mass meeting: 'was to be held in the jossbouse by the anti-Moy Bak Hin element, the Consul became uneasy, it seems, and telephoned Captain of Police Slover, asking for protection. retective Sergeant Baty was sent out and Moy Bak Htn requested him to station himself across the street from the Consulate, at Second and Yamhill -streets, in readiness to prevent ' trouble. -v Sergeant Baty made inquiry of Moy Bak Hin as to what the latter feared, but the Consul was reticent. He did not mention the mass meeting, but was most desirous of being given police protection. Sergeant Baty remained in the dark hall way of a store opposite the Consulate for more than an hour, and finally deciding that there would be no trouble, left the place. So quiet and orderly was the mass meet ing that few but Chinese were aware of the session until close to its adjourn ment at 10 o'clock. The Chinese discussed ways and means of securing a suitable site for a building, 'to be erected for the purpose of housing all Chinese who wish to secure new quarters. The fight be tween this element and Moy Bak Hin is said to be caused by the charge that Moy Bak Hin has been interfering with these-plans and breaking up a deal for the purchase of property for the pro posed building at Fourth and Everett streets. Moy Bak Hin had little to say when asked about the matter, but denies having in any manner interfered with the plans of any "of his countrymen. Man Hop, an avowed enemy of the Con sul, who came here from Seattle last Sunday to begin a fight to oust Moy Bak Hin, has framed a petition to the Chinese Minister at Washington. This will be cir culated in Chinatown and sent Bast with in a short time. HOLD ANNUAL MEETING Furniture Dealers of State Assemble to Discuss Trade Conditions.

Estimates calling for the expenditure of $1,000,000 in the construction of modern steel bridges to replace wooden structures on the Oregon Railroad and Navigation and Southern Pacific lines In Oregon have been approved by the Eastern officials of the Harriman system, and work will be started soon on these improvements. It Is expected to complete the replacement of the old bridges with the steel struc tures during the coming Summer. Estimates were prepared some time ago by the local officials of the Harriman lines calling for new bridges costing Jl.000.000 among other improvements. Word has been received permitting plans to be laid for constructing 21 steel bridges dur ing the coming season. Other plans for improvements during the year have not yet received official sanction. Bridges included In the estimates are structures spanning the Umatilla River at Nolin, Or., 12 bridges across Burnt River north of Huntington, smaller struc tures crossing Moffatt, Tanner, Mosler, Five-Mile and Eagle Creeks, between Cas cade Locks and Portland, all on the Ore gon Railroad and Navigation and a bridge crossing 'Uie McKenzie River on the Southern Pacific, together with a number of others on that railroad. Horseshoe Curve, near Hurkee, on the Oregon Rail road and Navigation, will be filled in. All the bridges to be built during 1907 will carry a single track, but they will be sufficiently substantial to care for the -heavier equipment that is constant ly beirfg added to bring the Oregon roads up to the standard of the Union Pa cific's main system. This expenditure for bridges on the Oregon lines is the heaviest appropria tion that has ever been made by the Harriman interests in this state for that purpose. Other recommendations have been made favoring heavy outlays for new lines throughout the state, but it is not yet known by General Manager O'Brien whether these will be approved' In view of the announcement from head quarters that strict economy is to be the rule. It is apparently not the intention of the Southern Pacific to remove trains from Fourth street during the coming year, for no provision is made in the budget just approved for the projected bridge across the ."Willamette at Oswego. . This will mean that it will be two years at least before Fourth street Is rid of the ob jectionable railway tracks. SEND FIRST TRAIN SOUTH Harriman Officials Hope It Will Get Through to Bay City. ' Overland train No. 15 was sent out last night at 7:50 over the Southern Pa cific for California. Baggage was not taken and it is expected that passengers will be obliged to transfer, but it is be lieved they will get through. Tickets were again being sold yesterday with this understanding and local officials were hopeful that trains leaving Portland today will get through without transfer. Notice was given yesterday by the Harriman passenger department thaf be cause of an adverse ruling by the Inter state Commerce Commission, officials are not allowed to exchange tickets of peo ple bound for San Francisco so they may go over the Oregon Short Line to Ogden and thence to California. The passenger department has been offering this alter nate route in case passengers were in a hurry to reach their destination and no extra charge was made, although the regular price of a ticket by was of Ogden is more than double that by the Shasta route. This ruling by the Interstate Com merce Commission is a surprise here, but passenger officials are as much In the dark as anyone else and cannot do otherwise than abide by the decision, news of which was sent here by Traffic Manager Fee. Mail by Way of Seattle. Portland received a few sacks of mail from San Francisco yesterday, by way of Seattle, it having been sent from San Francisco by steamer. Hundreds of tons of paper mail is lying along the line of the Southern Pacific. When a forwarding movement takes place, the postoffice force will likely be overwhelmed for a time. Few people ful ly realize the Immense tonnage of mail that comes to this city over the various railway lines. Erie Officials In City. I H. C. Holabird, of Chicago, assistant general passenger agent for the Erie Railroad, was in the city yesterday, look ing over the situation. He was accom panied by H. B.
