THE SUNDAY OEEGONIAN, PORTLAND, JUNE 9, 1901. 9 RATES FOR WHEAT SHIPS STATISTICAL POSITION SLIGHTLY WEAKER THAN A YEAR AGO. Decline Not Imminent, HoTrcver Be lated June Ships Will Go Over for July Loading. The Bin Francisco correspondent of the .Jfew York Commercial !s very much alarmed over an alleged shortage of grain tonnage on the Pacific Coast, and ven tures the prediction that high rates are bound to prevail. An industrious freight boomer In this city has been trying for the past six months through the columns of his weekly paper to make shipowners believe the same thing1. The locil man ipulator of figures has on hand 50 ship loads of -wheat which no one else knows anything about, but the San Francisco man qualifies his freight-booming article by admitting that some of the wheat with which the ships must be filled has not yet been harvested. There Is nothing alarming in the freight situation, nor Is there anything to indi cate that rates will approach last sea son's high figures. The grain tonnage en route and listed for this port is practically the same as It was 'a year ago, but at that time there wis fully 5,600.000 bushels more wheat on hand than there Is at the present time. The situation Is much the same In San Francisco, except that there Is a larger carry-over stock of grain this year than there was a year ago. This cirry-over will take the place of that of the Northwest last year, so that the statistical position of wheat In .the three states is practically the same as a year ago. With wheat and ships on the same basis as a. year ago. freights can be Influenced only by conditions which prevail else where. These are far less favorable to high freights than they were at this time last year. Then (he Argentine was ship ping a record-breaking crop which re quired the services of an immense fleet of steamers. The rice crop of the far East was heavy, and freights were high, and nitrate freights were hovering around the highest point reached In ten years. Now the Argentine Is shipping less than one fourth the amount of wheat shipped a year ago, nitrate freights are from 10 to 15 shillings lower than last year, and rice freights are five shillings lower. List year no ships could be secured from the nitrate ports, while this year a big fleet will come north, even though rates go no higher. If crop conditions continue good, and wheat prices advance, ships are not liable to be cheaper, but there is nothing In the statistical position of either wheat or ships to warrant any further advance At present, and there Is more liability of A decline than there Is of an advance. BUT FEW JUNE SHIPS. Belated Fleet of Wheat Vessels Will Go Over for July Loading;. The German ship "Windsbek sailed from Hlogo for Portland last Monday under charter to load wheat at this port In July. With a good passage she should reach Portland by the end of June, and will be one of the early ships of the new season. It Is now almost too late In the month to expect any more ships to -get In and out In June, and the fleet for the last month of the cereal year will consist of but three vessels, the Alterschwan, Nivelle and H. Hackfleld. The belated arrival of some of the ships will give the July fleet a good start, however, there being at least half a dozen ships to load .here next month. In addition to the Madagas car, Brabloch, Argus and Pythomene, there are one or two others, the exact sailing date of which Is not known, but which will Teach Portland in time to start the new season oft with a big July fleet. Unless there should be an earlier move men than usual of the new crop, August ships will be less plentiful, but Within 90 days Portland will commence shipping the new crop, and unless present highly favorable crop prospects are xnxterially changed, there will be a record-breaking fleet go out of the Columbia River In the season of 1901-2. The fleet for the season now drawing to a close will include 120 ships, and that of Puget Sound. Including the steamers which took wheat by way or the Suez will number about 75 vessels. This Is the best showing, proportionately, that Tacomi and Seattle have made In many years, and Is due to the failure in the Willamette Valley, which cut Port land out of SO or 25 cargoes, and also to the extraordinary yield on lands tributary to Puget Sound and not to Portland. Transport Sails for Alnilca. SEATTLE. June S. Three Nome sail ings, two merchantmen and one United States transport, tho Warren, were made from Seattle today. They carried an ag gregate of GOO passengers and 5000 tons of freight. The merchantmen are the St. Paul and the South Portland, the former with 331 passengers and the latter with 390. The Warren goes to St. Michael and Nome. She took about 100 soldiers. Gov ernment employes and civilians. Rev Sheldon Jackson, head of the Gover ment'a educational work and reindeer ventures, was a passenger, also 16 mem bers of families of officers now In the norfh. The Warren's cargo Is composed of 2152 tons, including 750 tons of coal, 47,000 feet of lumber and 1.502,710 pounds of merchandise and commissary supplies. Columbia's Fast Ran. The steamer Columbia arrived at San Francisco yesterday afternoon after a Tattling run from Portland. She left Alns worth dock at 8 o'clock Thursday evening and Astoria at 4:30 the next morning. The run from Astoria to San Francisco was made in exactly 36 hours, which, con sidering the distance, Is nearly as fast as the time made by some of the ves tlbuled Ice wagons running around the Northwest railroads. The same friendly breeze that was pushing the Columbia down the Coast In such fine style will be met by the Elder bound up, and she will not make the run In 3G hours. Susquehanna Is Overdue. SAN FRANCISCO. June 8. Disaster is believed to have happened to the Ameri can ship Susquehanna. The Susquehanna, commanded by Captain Bailey, sailed from Norfolk, Va.. November 15 last for Manua, with a cargo of coal for the United States Navy, and since February S, when she was spoken in latitude 27 degrees south, longitude 27 degrees west, the ship has not. been heard from. Yes terday Instructions were received from the East to place the Susquehenna on the overdue list with reinsurance quoted at 55 per cent. Cleared for South America. TACOMA. June 8. The British steam ship Condor cleared today for the west coast of South America. She carries 31, 43S barrels of flour and 500,000 feet of lumber. The Chilean bark Yosemlte also cleared for the west coast with 46.483 bushels of sacked wheat, valued at $29, 95. Suspension of Hansen Approved. SAN FRANCISCO. June 8. Supervising Inspector Bermingham has sustained the Judgment of Inspectors Bolles and Bulger In suspending the license for one year of Captain John Hansen for the loss of the flteamer Willamette. Assyrian Will Be Saved. ST. JOHNS, N. F., June 8. The divers' reports show that it will be comparatively easy to tow off the Leyland steamer Assyrian, ashore off Cape Race. They are now only awaiting the arrival of a suitable wrecking apparatus. Sailed for Xomc. TACOMA, Wash.. June 8. The Pacific Cold Storage Company's steamor EHhu Thomson flailed for Nora with 35 passen gers and loaded with freight until there was not another square Inch of space available aboard of her. The Thomson carried 250 tons of refrigerated stores of all kinds, besides 1G head of cattle and two horses stalled on her after deck, and 400 tons of general miscellaneous freight. Including mining machinery of various kinds. Marine Notes. The steamer Palatlnn is receiving her lumber cargo at the rate of 300,000 feet per day. The German ship Najade crossed out yesterday afternoon, leaving the lower harbor free of ships. The Alsterschwan Is the only ship In the harbor now loading, hut the Nivelle and the H. Hackfleld will commence early in the week. The old Oriental liner Monmouthshire, which left here In April with a cargo of wheat for St. Vincent for orders, Is mak ing good time In spite of numerous stops for fuel. She got, away from Monte video Thursday, 50 days out from Port land. Domestic nnd Foreign Ports. ASTORIA, June 8. Salied-At 8:30 A. M steamer Alliance, -for San Francisco and way portsr at 4 P.

NOTABLE ART EXHIBIT COLLECTION OF PICTURES BY JfEW YORK ARTIST. Portland Sketch Club Has Engaged Him as Club Instructor for the Summer. On Friday evening, the Portland Sketch Club will open an exhibition of unusual interest to art-lovers. In the art rooms of the Library building. This exhibition will continue Saturday afternoon and evening, under the auspices of the club, and thereafter may be seen on the reg ular days of the Art Association, which will have charge of H after this week. The collection consists of 'pictures by H. M. Walcott, a New York artist, whom the Sketch Club has been so fortunate as to secure as Its Instructor for the Summer months. Mr. Walcott Is well known, both In this country and abroad, for his work in oils, and also for his Illustrations in New York magazines and books. His career has been a series of brilliant successes. He began his studies in the art at the age of 20, Jn the National Academy of Design, New York City, under Will H. Low, C. T. Turner, Edgar M. Ward and John La Farge. Encouraged by winning the Elliott medal for drawing from the Greek sculpture, he continued the fol lowing three years, winning the Snydam medals, the highest honors In composition and portraiture, and finally the Have meyer scholarship for study and travel abroad. He took up his studies then at the Julian Academy In Paris, under the cele brated French painters, J. P. Laurens and Benjamin Constant, for a year, at the end of which time he made a visit to Italy, studying the old masters at Rome, Florence, Venice, etc. Much Im pressed by these, he left school, and worked alone In his own studio, receiving the encouragement of an honor awarded him by the Society of French Artists at Paris. The following year lie won the AVnnamaker and Clark prizes at the American Art Association of Paris, and was elected chairman of. the art com mittee, which brought him In pleasant contact with the best of the foreign art ists. While traveling through the picturesque parts of France, Italy, England, Holland, Belgium. Germany, Spain and Switzer land, he painted most of the smaller pic tures he has been asked to exhibit at the Portland Library. He Is represented In the Wanamaker collections at New York and Philadel phia, the Curtis collection In New York, the Gould and Wilder collections at Chi cago, and the Salmagundi Club, of New York, of which he Is a member. His pictures at the salon in Paris have bfeen requested for exhibition by the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Philadelphia. Chicago Art Institute, Bos ton Art Club, Worcester (Mass.) Museum, St. Petersburg Galleries, Melbourne (Aus tralia) Gallerlc-s. Paris , Exposition and the Pan-American ExpVltio'njp'now being held at Buffalo. His collection of pictures to be exhib ited at the Library building is one of great variety. In addition to his pictures of foreign life and landscape, he will probably Include one or two of Portland, besides eome black and white sketches of types of different countries, and studies used for pictures now on exhibition In Eastern galleries. He has also a collec tion of proofs of Illustrations and some photographs of his pictures In other coun tries. Mr. Walcott expects to remain In Port land, at 655 Flanders street, till Septem ber, and during his stay here will prob ably transfer some Oregon scenes to can vas. His classes at the Sketch Club will be as follows: Wednesday night class, antique. In the art. gallery of the Portland Library. Thursday night, composition class. Sat urday afternoon, from the living model. Sunday, sketching from nature, out-of-doors. MELLEN HASN'T AND WON'T Says There's No Trnth in Report of Ills Resitrnation. ST. PAUL, June 8. President Mellen, of the Northern Pacific, said today thero was no truth In the published statement that he had resigned. "I have not resigned," said Mr. Mellen, "and I do not contemplate resigning." (In speaking of the report that Presi dent Mellen had resigned from the North ern Pacific, and of Its denial, a Portland railroad man, whose opinion Is entitled to consideration, said yesterday: "I am Inclined to believe Mr. Mellen's denial. While It Is true that he and Mr. Hill are-not entirely harmonious, I think it Is also true th.at Mr. Hill will not have all to say as to who shall be president of the Northern Pacific. Mr. Mellen has al ways been a Morgan man, and it Is safe to assume that Mr. Morgan will have some Influence In determining who shall be the official head of that corporation. Mellen Is not like Winter, who resigned because he did not like Hill. Mellen will hold on until he Is compelled to go, I think and who will compel him to go? And even If Hill should have all to say In the mat ter, I doubt that he would want to get rid of Mellen, for he must recognize Mellen as an able railroad manager, though the two may differ on many points. Mellen Is well fixed financially, and I don't think he Is worrying any about the future.") ALLEGED DIFFEREXCE TOO GREAT English Railroads Withhold Infor mation About Our Locomotives. NEW YORK, June 8. The Times quotes A. B. Johnson, of the Baldwin Locomotive Works. Philadelphia, as saying in reply to the recent charges of Samuel W. John son, locomotive superintendent of the Mid land Railway, of England, that the extra working cost of American locomotives over the British, under the same condi tions iS'from 20 to 25 per cent in fuel, 50 per cent In oil and GO per cent In repairs: "It Is Impossible for me to supply any data, either In corroboration or denial of Mr. Johnson's statement. Efforts have repeatedly been made to obtain, from the Midland Railway information respecting the relative performance of English and American locomotives working under sim ilar conditions, but up to this time all such information has been withheld. Had such Information been given, and had It been found unfavorable to the American locomotives measures would have been Immediately taken to ascertain the reason and provide the proper remedy. "It Is obvious that In locomotives of the same -weight, general dimensions, heating surface and power and constructed from similar materials throughout, there cannot be so wide a variation In operation econ omy as Mr. Johnson's figures indicate un less one of the locomotives under consid eration Is In condition unfit for compari son. If, therefore. It Is true that the American locomotives are showing the un favorable results Indicated, It Is abundant reason Jfar the locomotive department of the Midland Railway to Investigate and correct the trouble." RESTRICTING XEW YORK TRADE. Protest Against Xevr Classification of the Western Railroads. NEW YORK. June 8. William L. Mc Carthy. Commissioner of the New York Freight & Transportation Bureau, In dis cussing the recent changes In freight classification made by Western railroads, particularly the change permitting West ern merchants to ship various kinds of merchandise in mixed carloads, said: "Every Instance where the Western classification has been changed to read 'mixed carloads' Is a direct discrimination against the City of New York, since all rates to Western points are made on the official classification, which does not per mit mixing cars to the Mississippi River, and this Increases the distributing power of every Jobbing house located on a line drawn from St. Paul, through Chicago and St. Louis; or, in other words, all cities located on the west bank of the Mississip pi River. Such changes as these are drawing the lines and area of distribution of New York closer and closer, and we should have the co-operation of merchants here to take up and fight just such prop ositions, which are driving freight to Western distributing centers. The only thing to do now Is to go right ahead and protest against the changes that are to take effect on August 1." "These changes have been effected through influence brought to bear on the railroads by the St. Louis, Kansas City and Chicago traffic bureaus, which the merchants of these cities support to ob tain such results as this in the equaliza tion of rates and classification of their respective geographical situations." William R. 'Corwlne, of the -Merchants' Association, said that the changes an nounced in the Western classification are being compared carefully with the present schedule, and If the new ratings are found to hurt New York and shippers of this section, the association would take the matter up with the Western classification committee. COUNTY GRANTS FRANCHISE. Contract Authorising: O. R. fc X. Co. to Use Certain Streets to St. Johns. The County Judge and Gommlslsoners yesterday signed a contract in behalf of the county, authorizing the O. R.& N. Co. In the construction of its railroad to St. Johns to uso certain streets In A. L. Min er's Addition. Leave was granted to the company to maintain a double sidetrack on the northerly half of Second street, also known as Bradford street, from Wil lamette or Charleston street, St. Johns, to Vancouver or Fcssenden street. Permis sion .was granted to build diagonally through First on Albany street, and also through Second street, and to cross all streets. The company Is required to macadamize the streets between the tracks and to plank them as necessary. New Commissioners nt Oregon City. OREGON CITY, June 8. The matter or the reports of the commissioners appoint ed to examine the proposed crossings over the track of the Southern Pacific Rail road Company, in Canemah, petitioned for by the Oregon City & Southern Railway Company, was argued In the Circuit Court today. The court announced that it would appoint three new commissioners to ex amine and report on these crossings, as two reports had been filed. He said that the commissioners filing the majority .re port had exceeded their authority, as they diu not have sufficient power to direct the elevation of a county road. Receiver for a Ilnilrond. LEAVENWORTH, Kan., June 8. The Leavenworth & Lawrence branch of the Union Pacific, formerly known as the Leavenworth, Lawrence & Galveston, passed Into the hands of a receiver today, when Erastus Young, general auditor of the Union Pacific, was appointed.
