BIG REDUCTION ON WHEAT several ports of Puftet Sound by Ions odds. The clearances from Portland for the entire month show the amount of wheat set afloat to total 1.421.987 bushels, or upwards of half a million bushels more than that shipped from Fujtet Sound. Oriental shipments of flour, however, from Tacoma and Seat tle, brought the totals for the month up to a ftsrure In excess of Portland. April shipments will open up welt as there are soveral vessels which have completed cargoes or will finish to day or tomorrow, but have not cleared. They will make formal clearance at the Customs-House before the end of the weok and the first five days of April will got credit for nearly half a million bushels. Effort Will Re Made by Regular Companies to Drive Tramjs Out of Traii-Pariflc Trade Rule In Effort Marine Notes. Tia tea on flour and wheat bet worn radfic Coast ports and the Orient have bnen cut from J.t..r0 and $." a ton to J2.."i0 and $1. The cut affects all the Maimers operating for the regular lines, and in Portland will be manifest In a slashing of rates on the steamers of the Portland and Asiatic teamship Com puny. Tho new rate wi il go into effect Immediately. Formerly the rHte on flour was 3.50 to Jaranese ports, ft to Hongkong and $" to Shanghai. Wheat was on the same basis. The new schedule pro vides for wheat to Japan and Hong kong for $2.!ft. flour to Japanese ports $3. flour to Hongkong' $3..ri0. and both wtieat and flour to Shanghai $t. The rates were reduced In accord ance with resolutions passed at the re cent meeting of the Coast steamship agents at Seattle. Representatives of all trans-Pacific companies were pres ent and their action will affect all ves sels operating out of Puget Sound. Portland and Sun Francisco. The object of the steamship com panies In making the cut Is to drive the tramp steamers out of the business. The reduced rate on flour will have a decided effect, but the cut on wheat Is somewhat of a conjecture. The larg er part of the wheat sent to the Orient from Pacific ports lias been In tramps, which had been chartered for approxi mately 13 a ton. By placing the wheat rate so low prain exports will prob ably Increase at the expense of flour shipments and the millers on the other sliie will do a larger part of the grind ing. Puget Sound brokers have been oper ating steamships from t'oast ports to Hie Orient with wheat as low as $2.7 a ton. With the arrival of the fleet at San Francisco there will be a number of available steamers, now colliers, and It Is the Intention of the regular com panies to head off the brokers in any charters for this class' of tonnage. The first vessel to be affecfod by the cut out of Portland will be the Arabia, She Is due in the river about the mid dle of the month and will sail for the Kast April 20. While this arrange ment pleases the exporters of wheat, the shippers of flour regard it as a discrimination, and the result will be a chartering of a large amount of ton nnge for the shipment of flour to Ori ental ports. T. R Wilcox, of the Port land Flouring Mills, said yesterday: "Nature provided the Pacific Ocean and it Is there for us all. In spite of the action taken by the regular steam ship lines, there will, be no difficulty In our shipping: flour to the Orient at the same rate as made by the -regular line on wheat. The change in rates j bad net been made an hour before we were offered what steamers were re quired for flour at the rate the regu lar lines charge for wheat.' PRATTl.R. March 31. Despite the solemn assertions of steamship offi cials of this city that no rate war to the Orient was in project, the meeting of the Trans-Paelf ic Freight Bureau, held last week, decided upon a schedule of cut rates to the Orient on wheat and flour, and these rates will become effective tomorrow. Every ef fort to keep the matter quiet has been made by the companies interested. The companies represented at the gathering- were the Great Northern, Nippon Yusen Kaisha, Waterhouse & i'ompany, Boston Steamship Company, Podwell & Company, of the Blue Fun- , nel Ijlne. The other steamship com panies plying to the Orient from Van couver and Portland are expected to follow suit in making cut rates, and a war to the death Is In prospect be tween the regular liners to the Far Past and the tramp steamships of for eign register. The new rates on flour and wheat per ton of 2000 pounds follow: Wheat to Japan and Hongkong $2.50, former ly $o.;0 and $4 respectively. Flour- to . Japan $3, to Hongkong $3.o0; wheat and flour to Shanghai $4, a reduction j of l; wheat and flour to Amoy $4. dumber Rate Also Is Cut. TACOMA, March 31. Local representa tives of the regular steamship lines run ning from here to the Orient confirm the reported reduction in wheat and flour rates to Japan and China. It Is under stood also that there will be a reduction to Siberian and North China porta. The lumber rate to Japan will also be reduced from $10 to JS tomorrow. The reason for tha lesser rate is the strong competition offered by the many tramp carriers now on this coast. TAKE BIG CARGO AT II OQ CI AM Tramp Steamer Rygja to Load St 000,00 0 Feet of Lumber. tlOQHAM. Wash., March 31. (Special.) The Norwegian tramp steamer Rygja entered port today to load 3.000,000 feet of lumber at the National Lumber Co.'s mill for Panama. If the Rygja is successful in carrying such a large cargo over Grays Harbor bar. much encouragement will en sue, for othtff lare freighters to make this a port of call, and greatly enhance the Importance of this harbor, as well as the numerous mills situated thereon that have formerly depended upon smaller craft to carry their output. Tim recent negotiation of the Hoqulara River by the large British tramp Indra velli. 412 feet long, up to the farthest mill, . has gone far to attract other and larger vessels. The Indravcllt should clear to morrow for Australia, GRAIN" EXPORTS ARE HEAVY Portland Boats Sound on Wheat, but Is Short on Flour. lira in shipments from Portland for the month of March , (California in cluded) tigure up 1,576.807 bushels of wheat and "6.224 barrels of flour.

CHANGE TO SPEAK Campaign Literature is Being Made in Congress. SPEECHES TO BE. MADE NOW Instead of Being Printed in Record '.Without Being Delivered, Mem bers Must Now Talk on Floor. How Bill Suizer Got Mad. OREGOXIA'N NEWS BUREAU. Wash In k ton, March 31. These are the days when campaign literature is being manu factured in Ooiigress. Speeches on all questions likely to fltrure in the Fall campaigns are being discussed at both ends of the Capitol, the Congressional Record is being swamped with matter, both interesting and dry, and the Vost offlce Iepartment U preparing to handle an unusually large amount of deadhead matter from .June until the close of the campaign in November. For all speeches delivered in Congress can be mailed under the Congressional frank, and Uncle Sam pays the postage. This franking privi lege is enjoyed by both parties And Dem ocrats aro taking advantage of it. like their brethren of the majority party. Sessions of the House are likely to be rather protracted for the rest of the ses sion, for Bill Suizer, of New York, is on the war path and has decreed that no more speeches shajj be printed in the Record unless they are delivered in the House. There is a ruleJn Congress which permits a Senator or Member to "obtain leave to print," and under this privilege he can have a speech printed In the Record, whether It is delivered or not. The assumption is that the speech has been delivered, but that does not neces sarily follow. , How Bill Suizer Cot Mad. But one sad day the Hon. Bill Suizer. after actually delivering a speech, got hold of the reporter's notes and so changed the sense of what he had ac- turally said as to convey a very different opinion, and then the Hon. Bill got into trouble. The wily Representative Mann, of Illinois, whom Suizer had been criti cizing, looked over Sulzer's speech as it was printed in the Record, and was as tonished to find a rather bold attack upon himself. He did not recall that Suizer had been bold In his talk, so he looked up the reporter's notes, compared them with what Suizer had inserted in the Record, and then unfeelingly drew the deadly parallel on the floor of the House, much to the embarrassment of the Hon. Bill eulzer. The House, of course, voted to make the Hon. Bill cut from the Record those things which he had not said,' and the Hon. Bill got mad. Then and there he declared that no member could get unanimous consent to Insert a speech In the Record, or to even extend his re marks. So the House will have to sit overtime while members tvork off speeches which they might otherwise print without delivering. When appropriation bills are pending in the House, the mem bers have the privilege of discussing any subject under the sun. All they need is recognition from" the chairman, and they, can employ their time as they see fit. Chance to Make Speeches. So It has come to' pass in the House that during general debate on an appro priation bill everything is discussed . ex cept the bill itself. The chairman in charge makes an opening speech in expla nation of the bill, but that is all. It is during these times that political speeches are delivered, and unless the member having the floor happens to be a tigure of National importance, he gets a mighty slim audience. Attendance is good to start with, but by 2 o'clock the House thins out and long before ' ad journment the members present could be counted on the Angers of two hands. Fortunately, the Record does not show up the attendance. The dear reader at home probably Imagines that when his Congressman was spellbinding in the House, upwards of 350 stalwart legisla tors sat around absorbing evry word, applauding at the proper points and congratulating the orator at the close. True, the Record usually shows gener ous applause scattered through the aver age speech, for the reporters are gen erous and insert (applause) whenever a single auditor claps his hands. If three or more join in the handclapplng. the Record will show (loud applause on the Democratic side) or Republican side, as the case may be. If. perchance, the re porter should overlook this important item, the member himself, having the right of revision, can sprinkle in the ap plause to suit himself, and no one will say him nay. When Mr. Mann pulled the reporter's notes on Suizer he amused the House by showing' that Suizer. in his own handwriting, had inserted, time and again, the word "applause" in his own speech, indicating clearly that Sui zer was claiming applause where there had been no applause. New Member's Maiden Effort. Some of the speeches delivered by new members, while appropriation bills are pending, are quite amusing. The aver age new member takes himself very seriously and expects. In advance, that when he rises to address the House, there will be a large attendance. His first shock comes when he sees the older members hiking for the cloak rooms. He gels another shock when he sees members reading newspapers or writing letters, while he labors on, and he gets a last Jolt when some member, suffering as the result of a last night's poker game, actually nods and falls asleep In the midst of his speech. Yet this Is an almost daily occurrence. Not long ago a new member from Colo rado, something of a fire-eater in hie own community, prepared a speech demand ing repeal of the tariff on manganese iron ore. Prior to making the speech he told his friends that he expected to be assailed by Chairman Payne and Representative Dalsell, the two foremost standpatters in the Republican party. "But I am loaded for them.' he said, confidentially, "and if they Jump onto me I will give them the fight of their lives." Imagine that mem ber's disappointment when he rose to speak in the presence of exactly 11 mem bers, Payne and Ialzell both absent. He was not interrupted once; he was not even applauded when he began to soar; but when his speech appeared in the Rec ord It showed that this new member was getting wise. His talk was freely bespat tered with "applause." ' Cushman and the Clams. It is about this time of year that Repre sentative Cushman cuts loose from his moorings and entertains the House, for an hour or so. But Cushman says he is not going to make a speech this session; he's afraid to. "Lots of Democrats have been to me urging me to make a speech," said he, "but only one Republican has shown any Interest. Tou know a couple of years ago I made a prosperity speech and told of the hard times .on Puget Sound back under the last Democratic administration, when the unemployed had to go down on the beach and eat clams and clams and clams until their stomachs rose and felt with the tides. Well, those fellows on the Democratic side have learned that we have some unemployed out home right now, and if they can get me on the tioor they will rub it in good and hard on that clam proposition. So I guess I'd better be Colds Colds Ask your doctor ifAyer's Cherry Pectoral is not just the right medicine for such cases. He knows all about it. Then follow his advice.

But in spite of all Cushman says, he is very busy between sessions, and his friends suspect that he is working:' on a speech to be delivered before adjournment. DAO CITY STATISTICS Births.

ONE MAN IN EVERY FIVE HAS VARICOCELi YOU MAY BE THE ONE Uncomplicated Cases are Treated ForthelowFeeof $10 YOU PAY WHEN CURED DR. TAYLOR, 1 The Leading Specialist. Varicocele causes congestion of the blood in some of the most vital blood vessels of man. It causes a dull, heavy, listless feeling, which is often mistaken for nervous debility or general decline. Varicocele results from partial paralysis of the delicate nerve fibers that control local circulation of the blood. The muscular coating of the veins is deprived of nervous control and becomes inactive, weakens and re- . laxes. The blood vessels expand from the pressure within. The circu lation becomes sluggish and clots form in little nooks and pockets that constantly enlarge as the relaxation continues. These clots may pass into general circulation, and should one find lodgment in the valves of the heart, the result might be instant death. Should a clot lodge in the minute capillaries of the brain, apoplexy or general paralysis might follow. I CURE VARICOCELE Don't allow yourself to be butchered and tinkered with.
