1500 tons of miscellaneous produce, and
ot 7 o'clock Friday evening: was again
ready for sea. Included In the 13 hours
which she spent In port were two moves

soon, and passed on to sea shortly after
ward.
The steamship Columbia, looking as
bright as a dollar. Is back on the route
again, and arrived up last evening. Like
the Elder, she was delayed slightly by
the fog. and also by a heavy freight for
Astoria, but she made a fast run up the

STABBED A STEAMER.
Unfortunate Mistake of a CombatlT
bat Reckless Swordflsb.
Until the steamer Charles Nelson went
Into the drydock Skipper Anderson wai
not aware that his vessel had been upper
cut by a full-grown xlphlas gladlus. says
a San Francisco paper. He did know,
however, that something landed on the
steamer's solar plexus, side-stepped and
got away somewhere between Hawaii and
this port. The Nelson leaked after the
blow, so the skipper had her hauled out
at the Union Iron Works.
An operation by the carpenters disclosed
nine inches of a swordflsh blade or snout
imbedded in a plank near the keel. The
sword, which must have snapped off close
to the xlphlas gladlus face, extended
through seven inches or nard plank and
projected two Inches into the steamer's
vitals. In breaking away the swordnsh
lunged aft and knocked one blade off the
propeller.
Had the xlphlas been game, he might
have put the Nelson and her cargo of
sugar out of the business. The loss of his
toadstabber disconcerted the big fish early
In the fight, and this fact is all that
saved the able seamen. When the skipper
felt the Jolt, he thought the Jim Jeffries
of the deep had butted into him and that
his finish was In sight. The damage to
her propeller made the Nelson somewhat
groggy, but she got Into port all right.
After much hard work the carpenters
extracted the sword and sent It to the
Academy of Sciences for a souvenir. What
the fish will do with the blade be bit on
the propeller puzzles Captain Anderson.
Having lost his own blade the xlphlas will
probably keep the metal one as a souve
nir of the meeting In mldocean.
"The swordnsh was doubtless looking
for fight and mistook the steamer for a
whale." said the skipper. "Her hull Is
black and In the night would look like a
whale to anything coming up from the
depths. We didn't feel It when the fish
stabbed us. He hit the hull low down on
the port side and with his harpoon pointed
slightly aft. The wrench to his broadside
as the steamer forged ahead murt have
snapped the sword and turned him adrift.
We all felt the shock when the fish and
the propeller collided, but didn't know
what caused It."
Sometimes, In fighting the whale, the
xlphlas attacks the tall In the hope of dis
abling the enemy. The churning propeller
may have further convinced the swordflsh
that he had a whale to deal with, which
delusion Induced him to monkey with the
submarine buzz saw.
A small leak started In the plank pierced
by the bony beak of the firh, but not
enough to do any damage.

?TOT OS THE ISSIDB.
Mr. Sevrnll Unable to Secure a Shnre
of the Army Transport Work.
Tho recent visit of Arthur Sewall to
Washington, according to a New York
paper, revived before the War Depart
ment a struggle that he has been making
for months to gain contracts for carrying
Government property by his modern sail
ing ships between San Francisco and Ma
nila. The Government has been paying
fabulous prices for the transportation ot
horses and carts, and the thousand and
one articles that an army must have. Mr.
Sewall has several splendid sailing ships
on the Pacific Ocean, and would like ta
send them to Manila, where they could
load with bemp as a return cargo. He
promised the War Department that he
would have a ship leaving San Francisco
for Manila every 15 days, and that there
would practically e little difference In
time of passage from that of a steam ves
sel. All his representations, however, have
been of no avail. The Quartermaster's
Department has steadily set itself against
Mr. Sewall's propositions and sent ship
loads of horses and equipments by steam
vessels that have to return in ballast.
Mr. Sewall's agent in Washington has
been persistent, but to no purpose. The
Maine man was anxious to have his pen
nant flying In the Government service and
was willing to bid far below the prices
bid by steamship firms, some of them
Enshsh firms. Mr. Sewall looked Into the
matter further during his visit there, but
it is understood that he was not able to
change the situation at all.

brlnjrs the European grain fleet from
Portland up to a total of eight ves
sels for the month closing yesterday.
These vessels carried a total of 776.031
bushels of wheat, valued at 3425.016. The
March wheat shipments were further In
creased by over CS.000 bushels of wheat,
which were shipped to Japan by tho
steamship Doyu Maru and by the regu
lar liner Abergeld'e. There were no flour
shipments to Europe last month, but to
the Orient and San Francisco they
amounted to 11S.OO0 barrels. The bulk o
the Oriental shipment went forward by
the liner Abergeldle, and the Strath
gyle, but the Doyu Maru and the Elm
Branch each took a small consignment
of flour. The total shipments, flour In
cluded, for the month were 1.379,615 bush
els. In addition to the shipments by steam
er from Portland to the Orient, this port
has dispatched, rlnce the beginning of tho
cereal year, July L 1S99. 76 cargoes of
wheat and flour. During the rame period
Seattle and Tacoma have dispatched 24
cargoes, the month Just closing being the
best of the season on the Sound. On ac
count of Portland exporters being unable
to secure all the room needed on the,
Portland line, considerable flour was di
verted to the various Sound lines during
March, with the result that flour ship
ments from Seattle and Tacoma were
the largest on record, totaling 158,916 bar
rels. Four cargoes of wheat were also
discharged from the Sound cities during
the month the Angerona. Englchom, Col
bert and Allegiance carrying 349.490 bush
els of wheat. A summary of the month's
shipments from Portland, with details of
the season's fleet to date. Is herewith
Slven.
REGORD-BREAKISG 1VORIC.
Steamship Geo. AV. Elder Discharged
and Loaded In Thirteen Houm.
Tho steamer Geo. W. Elder, which ar
rived up from San Francisco at 6 o'clock, I
Frldiy morning, was discharged and'
loaded in about the shortest time possible.
Eho had on board about 200 tons of freight '
taken up recently for various canceling
dates, running from August to December.
Forty shillings seems to be the ruling
price, and, while exporters are obliged to
protect their lntcrc-sts by taktrg a few
of these ships for new-crop buslncsi. they
steadfastly refuse to pay the fancy rates
demanded by owners for this season
loading. There is at least one free ship
very clop nt hand, but her owners have
been steadily holding out for 4S shillings,
nnd thus far have not found any one
willing to pay such an extravagant rate.
The Commercial News ha the following
review of the freight situation In the Bay
City:
"With but one disengaged vessel In port
suitable for grain, a light chartered list
and few vessels due. with last year's
crop practically Intact, a superficial glance
nt the market would lead to the belief
that any figure would be paid for ships.
The consuming markets of the world,
however, nre being supplied from othef
than Pacific Coast sources, to such an
extent that grain prices are moderate,
and as our wheat must sell In compe
tition witn tnat or the ren cf the world
exporters must work at a loss "or await a
more favorable turn of events. They are
taking the latter course, and. while the
Jessomcne Is asking "all the traffic will
bear." there Is a pronounced Indifference
to secure her at the flgure demanded.
Except the vessels that -arrived during
the week, and which were chartered long
before arrival, there has been absolutely
nothing to report regarding this depart
ment. "For lumber, prompt loading at North
ern ports, rates are as follows: Sydney.
53s 9dj55s: Melbourne or Adelaide. 63s 9d
Gfi: Port Plrle. 56s 3dg57s 6d: Frcmantle.

The above rates show a strong and ad
vancing market for Sydney, Melbourne
and Adelaide, while for other Australian
ports there has been no demand, and
these quotations, therefore, are purely
nomlnalbased en last transactions. Re

The British bark Samaritan left down
the river yesterday morning, nnd will be
followed today by the Poseidon, which
cleared yesterday morning. The first ship
of the April fleet will undoubtedly be the
Thornllebank, which Is being rushed along
In order to make room on the Elevator
dock, which Is pretty well filled. There
have been no arrivals In the river for thi
past week, and. unless several of tha
ships headed In this direction make pretty
good pasjagea. the April fleet will not be
as large as that of the month Just
closed.

83 Years of Age. Entirely Cured of Rheumatism After Having: Suffered 43
Years.
On the theory "that seeing Is believing,"
John A. Smith, of Milwaukee, wants
every one to try hU remedy for the cure
of rheumatism at his expense. For that
reason he proposes to distribute 23,000 freo
sample packages among all persons send
ing him their oddrefs. Mr. Smith had suf
fered all the agony and torture from rheu
matism, tried all the remedies known and
yet utterly failed to find relief.
At times he was so helpless that he had
to take to morpnine. ana alter consid
erable doctoring he gave up In despair.
He began studying Into the causes of
rheumatism, and after much experiment
ing, he finally hit upon a combination of
drugs which completely cured him. The
result was so beneficial to his entire sys
tem that he called his new-found remedy
"Gloria Tonic" Those of his friends and
relatives and neighbors suffering from
rheumatism were next cured, and Mr.
Smith concluded to offer his remedy to
the world. But he found the task a diffi
cult one, as nearly everybody had tried
a hundred or more remedies, and they
couldn't be made to believe that there was
such a thing as n cure for rheumatism.
But an old gentleman from Seguln. Texas,
wrote him saying If Mr. Smith would send
him a sample he would try It. but as he
had suffered 41 years and wasted a fortune
with doctors and advertised remedies, he
wouldn't buy anything more until he knew
It was worth something. The sample was
sent, he purchased more, and the result
was astonishing. He was completely
cured. This gave Mr. Smith a new Idea.
and ever since that time he has been
sending out free sample packages to all
who apply. It cured Miss Emma Calen
der, at No. 130 Oak street. Vlncenne3. Ind.,
who, after spending over $500 with doctors,
had been given up to die. In Prosser.
Neb., it cured Mrs. Carl Morltz. a lady of
67. who had suffered 52 years. In Fountain
City, Wis., It cured Hon. Jacob Sexauer.
a gentleman of 70. who suffered for 33
years. In Perrysburg. Ohio. It cured Mr.
Mich. Muth. a gentleman of 70. In Heron
Lake. Minn., It cured Mrs. John Geehr,
who had suffered for 30 years. Rev. C.
Sund. of Harrlsvllle. Wis., tested this re
markable cure on two members of his
congregation, one who had suffered 15
and the other 25 years, both were com
pletely cured. Even prominent physicians
had to admit that "Gloria Tonic" Is a
positive success, among them Dr. Quin
tero, of the University of Venezuela, to
whom It was recommended by the United
States Consul. In thousands of other in
stances the result has been the same. It
cured many cases which defied hospitals,
drugs, electricity and medical skill, among
them persons over 75 years old.
Mr. Smith will send a trial package ab
solutely free of charge to any reade.- of
The Oregonlan, for he Is anxious that
everybody should profit by lite good for
tune. It Is a remarkable remedy, and
there Is no doubt but that It will cure any
case of rheumatism, no matter how severe
It may be. Mr. Smith's address In full Is

he to take out his first papers, like any
other foreigner?
Second How Is It, that, when the first
voters wanted to register In this city they
had to produce their full citizen papers,
and now they can register on their first
papers?
Third If a foreigner comes to this coun
try with a boy 3 years old, and the father
becomes a citizen of the United States.
Is that boy. after he is 21 years old. a full
citizen of the United States, without tak
ing out any papers at all? S.

BUILDING NEW SWITCH.
Active Work at S. P. Cnrshops East
Side Affnlm.
At the Southern Pacific carshops, con
struction of the railway switch, that will
extend from the main line at the north
end of the tract, was commenced yester
day morning, and the foreman of tho crew
expects to have the switch completed to
the building site, opposite the office oc
cupied by Contractor Bridges. Monday.
The distance Is between COO and 700 feet.
The switch will pass over some low
ground, which has been filled up with dirt
from the building ground. Across Brook
lyn Creek the track will be carried on
crib work, which will be quickly con
structed. This track will be only tempo
rary, and will be used to take in material
for the big building, on which work will
be begun as Boon as possible. Contractor
Bridges has been waiting patiently for
this switch, and will send In several flat
cars loaded with cement and other ma
terial as soon as the roils are down, as he
is anxious to get the foundation of the
carshops building completed. Owing to
the character of the ground where this
and the other shops ore to be built, there
being much moisture underneath, the
foundation trenches will have to be car
ried down to gravel. The footing will
be of concrete. This switch will be mule
and is In a prosperous condition. It is
mado up entirely of employes of tho
Southern Pacific, and for amateur musi
cians they make an excellent showing.
The band comes together Tuesday and
Friday nights for practice, and it Is a
rare occurrence for any member to be ab
sent unless kept nway by business or
engagement, the Interest Is so great. At
a recent meeting, it was decided to give
an entertainment for the monument fund.
This has been under contemplation for
some time, as the band has desired to do
something for the monument to dead Sec
ond Oregon Volunteers, but the way hai
not been clear until the present. The en
tertnlnment will probably take place about
the 21st of next month.
