VICTORIA. B. C. Nov. . (Special.)
Twenty-one lives were lost by the wreck
ing of the French revenue cutter Sur-pr-se.
off Annam. during; a typhoon, ac
ortflng to advices received by the
steamer Empress of India.
The Surprise, which was engaged in
guarding the coast of Annam and pre
venting the smuggling of arms, which
lias been very actively engaged In of
late in that region, sank during a ty
phoon In' seven fathoms of water when
she had almost reached her anchorage.
Two Europeans, M. Juelle. the captain,
and SI. Huard. the engineer, and 19 of
the IB Annamese comprising the crew,
loot their lives as a rasult.
Only Masts Left Protruding.
The customs launch Argus, while en
gaged on the same service, passing In
the neighborhood noticed the tops of
two masts protruding from the water.
The launch approached and picked, up
some floating objects, tables, chairs,
etc.. which were identified as belonging
In the Surprise, and left no doubt that
this was the vessel lying at the bottom
of the sea.
Three Bodies Recovered.
Shortly afterwards" Captain Coulon. of
the Argus, continuing his search In the
vicinity, picked up the bodies of three
native sailors belonging to the Surprise
and various movables. Proceeding to
the shore alth all haste, he communi
cated I he news of the disaster to Haip
hong by telegraph.
ft is supposed that the Surprise. Tying
before the typhoon, was caught by a
side wave, which must have burled her
completely, sinking her In a few moments.

DEPENDS ON "BIG FIVE"

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. Nov. . If Joseph G. Cannon falls
of re-election as Speaker of the House of
Representatives, and some prominent
member of the anti-Cannon faction Is
chosen to succeed him. there will prob
ably be a complete readjustment of the
House organization, and a reallotment of
committee chairmanships. On the other
hand. If Cannon is defeated, but Is suc
ceeded by some man Identified with his
machine, the House will continue doing
business in the old way. and "Uncle Joe"
will, stand high In the councils of the
new regime.
Under the present , organisation the af
fairs of the House have been run by the
"Big Five:" the Speaker and Repre
sentatives Payne, Dalzell. Tawney -and
Sherman. If one of this number should

Repetition of Ciar Rule.
This "Big Five" has had little regard
for the individual rights of members;
It has had little regard for the wishes
of a great majority of the House. With
the co-operation of the committee on
lea. It has mapped out tne legislative
campaign of the House, and by sheer
force, has nut through the programme
over the protests of members entitled to be
heard. With one of this hunch In tne
Speaker's chair, the same tactics would
be pursued In the next congress as in
the present and past Congresses, and the
Individual member would be as much a
"two spot" as ever.
But the men who are fighting Cannon
are ahxfous to get one of their own
number In the Speaker'a chair, so that the
Big Five" can be wiped out. and a new
governing body be organised. And If
Representative Burton, of Ohio, or any
other anti-Cannon man should be ehoBen
Speaker, It would very soon become ap
parent that Messrs. Cannon, Payne., Dal
sell and Tawney would be deprived of
the right to dictate. This power, to a
limited extent, might be conferred upon
others, but it would go to men of the
opposing faction to the Insurgents.
Cannon, as speaker, very naturally
placed the best chairmanships In the
House in the hands of his friends. If
Cannon Is defeated by an Insurgent,
Payne will no longer be chairman of the
ways and means committee, Dalzell will
no longer hold his membership on the
committees on rules and ways and means;
Tawney will be relieved of appropriations,
and Alann will fall to go on the steering
committee. Other Cannon supporters
holding good chairmanships would find
themselves dispossessed, their places being
given to men opposed to tyrannical rule
of the House of Representatives.
The Cannon men, and the chairmen ap
pointed by Cannon, are well aware of the
situation, and for that reason they will
be found actively campaigning for Cannon
when Congress comes together next
month. They will fight for Cannon not so
much because of their love or admira
tion for the Speaker, but because of their
desire to save themselves to save the
choice appointments which they received
at the hands of Cannon, and which they
cannot again receive If Cannon Is de
throned. And this very organization, led
by the "Big Five. or "Big Four" as
I: became when Sherman resigned to run
for Vice-President, will be one of the
ma'n supports upon which Cannon will
depend In his campaign for re-election to
the Speakership.
Sherman Wanted to Be Speaker.
The mention of Sherman recalls the
fact that Sherman, had he not resigns!
from the House to accept the Vice-Presidency,
would have been a very llke'y
candidate for Speaker In case It becomes
Impossible to re-elect Cannon. Sherman'
was a candidate for Speaker when Hen
derson was chosen; he was also & candi
date when Cannon was first elected, and
among the varied aspirants he was per
haps the best qualified. Therefore, had
he not accepted the Vice-Presidential
nomination, he might today be very clos-
to the Speakership of the House, and
there is not the slightest doubt but what
he would much prefer the Speakership to
the Vies- Presidency. -
But it is everlastingly too late for Sher
man to become Speaker. The opportunity
will never again be presented to liim.
When he reflects upon "what might have
been" It must depress him considerably.
And he win have abundant time for re
flection while presiding over the Senate,
without "a voice, without a vote, without
the slightest Influence over the delibera
tions of that body. How much bigger he
would be presiding over the other house,
at the other end of the Capitol.

REDUCES FREIGHT RATES
NIPPON YUSEN KAISHA BEGINS
FIGHT FOR TRADE.
Will Lower Tariffs About 17 Per
Cent From Former Schedule.
Through BUI of Lading.
VICTORIA, B- C, Nov. 8. (Special.)
The Nippon Yusen Kalsha has de
cided to bearin the struggle with the
Canadian Pacific Railroad for the pre
mier position In the carrying trade of
the North Pacific
Since the ruling of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. by whli;h
ship companies advanced their rates,
the lines connecting with United States
railroads, and more particularly those
under the United States flag, were
placed at a disadvantage. The Can
adian Pacific Railroad naturally took
advantage of Its position and declined
to advance its freight rates.
.Wliea the conference at Seattle de
cided to increase the rates, the pro
posed Increases were cabled .to-Japan,
where a meeting of Japanese shipping
companies was called. Advices re
ceived by the Royal Mail Steamship
Empress of India were to the effect
that the Nippon Tusen Kaisha with
drew from this conference and has
made a general reduction of about 17
per cent lower than the former freight
rates. The Japanese steamship com
pany proposes to bear the burden of
the increased railway charges and will
give a lower rate across the Pacific.
A reduction of 25 cents per 100 pounds
will be made on silk and other valuable
freights.
The Intention of the Nippon Yusen
Kaisha Is to Issue through bills of lad
ing at the present "rates on certain
goods. Including steam and rail transit,
and to' take upon its own shoulders
the increase In the American rail rate.
On other goods the Increased rail rate
will be partly counterbalanced by re
ductions In the steamer transport. For
example, the rate' on tea is to be re
duced by about 16 gold cents, on mat
ting by 15 cents, on straw braid by 30
cents. The rate on porcelain exported
from Nogaya will be reduced to 63
cents.
Tomorrow (Tuesday) positively last
dav for discount on West Side nas bills.

am a great believer in the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific
Exposition,'" stated Howard
EllioM,, president of the Northern Pacific,
In an interview today, "and the North
ern Pacific will ao all in its power to
make it succeed. We recently placed an
order for 63 large passenger cars in anti
cipation of a big passenger traffic west
ward during the exposition and with a
number jusi received, we will , have more
than 100 additional passenger coaches next
Summer. Though we have not yet pre
pared new schedules, we expect to put on
both additional local and overland trains
In the Spring. Extra trains will be run
between Seattle and Portland and be
tween Seattle and Spokane and from all
-tolnts in the interior. .
"I have no doubt that the fair will be
a great success. The Pacific Northwest
Is attracting more and more attention
In the East each year and such an ex
position will be the means of bringing
thousands of investors and homeseekers
to the West. The recent interpretation of
the Interstate Commerce Commission."
continued Hr. Elliott, "regarding Oriental
shipments has had a most unfortunate
effect upon trade with the Orient. It
will be the means of routing the greater
portion of freight designed for the Orient
via Gulf ports, the Atlantic Coast and the
Suez canal. We railroad men much re
gret that such a ruling was necessary,
but do not blame the Commission for the
members had their duty laid out before
them and could not but obey the law."
