THK SUNDA OKKttONIAtf, PORTLAND;" JULY 27; 1902. SNDRASAMHA FOR ORIENT . TONNAGE EN ROUTE AND IN PORT. WAS THE FIGHT A FAKE? 10 BIG liUfER CLEARS WITH IUMBER, FLOUR. AND COTTON CARGO. Vessels Chartered or Available for Grain Cargoes Erom the Northwest. Business "With, the Far "Bant Is Im proving: and Steamer Carried Aboat 4000 Tons. The Portland & Asiatic liner In- flrasamha cleared at tho Custom-House yesterday for Hong Kong and "way ports with about 4000 tons of miscellaneous freight. Her cargo, -while sufficient to load to her capacity the average Orient al liner plying out of this port half a dozen years ago, only about half filled the big steamship, but is much larger than the cargoes that have been going out of Puget Sound by the regular liners out of Tacoma and Seattle. Tho k flour consignment on board totalled over 15,000 barrels, of which 13,000 barrels were for Hong Kong. That port also received 230.000 feet of lumber. For Shanghai there was a shipment of 1100 bales of domestics and a small lot of flour. Kobe end Yokohama were both down on the manifest for consignments of cotton and Mour as well as miscellaneous freight. There was a lot of dressed lumber and machinery for Nagasaki, and the total Value of the cargo was over $150,000. The Eteamer will leave down at daylight to morrow morning. Trade is picking up a little la the Orient, and it is believed that there will bo no further difficulty in securing car goes for the big liners. The flour ship ment on the Indrasamha Is three times qs large as that which went out on the tlndrapura, which sailed earlier in the month, and there is more in sight for the next steamer than there was on the Indrasamha. FOR. rORTUUCD JAPAN COAST SEALERS. Snd Weather Interfered "With Opera tions Seal Plcntifal. Victoria sealing men have just recelr fcd advices from the fleet on tho Japan x;oast and the reports are to the effect that seal are more plentiful than ever, Ibut heavy weather has interfered with their capture. One particularly severe rale damaged some of the .schooners. The Colonist prints the following from letters received from the sealers: "Soon after the schooners sailed from Bonln Islands for the Japan Sea they experienced a terrific gale, which smash ed the boats of the Schooners Dora Slewerd and Geneva and almost wrecked the Japanese schooner Diana. The Diana was boarded by a sea, which tore her foresail, which was then double reefed, to shreds, carried away her for ward bulwarks, windlass, breaking her boats, filling the cabin, and as the writer put it "raising Cain generally." When the foresail was gone tho schooner paid off, and the high seas put her over on her beam. It was with difficulty that the schooner was got before the wind, and saved from going over. The gale was a fair westerly wind for Hakodate, and the Triumph sailed with out damage before It. The' schooner Di rector had her stern smashed during the storm. When the schooners put into Hakodate they learned that over 40 lishlng schooners had been lost off the Japanese coast during the gale. The Dora Slewerd fitted out in April, when Ehe went in to replace her lost boats, nnd she was not expected In port, but the other schooners had reported. The catches of the four schooners which had come in before the letter was written on June 26, were as follows: Geneva 834; Director, 618; Florence M. Smith, CS7, and Triumph, 465. There were about 15 Japanese schooners out. Tho catches of those which had reported before the letter was written were as follows: Tauro Maru, GTS; Diana, 4S2; No. 3 Mara, 51G; Selfu Maru, 250; Seltago Maru, 603, nnd Kalvo Maru (formerly the Henry pen nls), 250. All theso vessels had white captains. The weather has been miserablo in tho inland sea. The Triumph did well until MNrch, when she got out of the seal. They went northeast, and the schooner southeast. The Japan Sea was full of them this season, and according to hunt ers of the Triumph there were thou sands and thousands of them in that sea. Mans' of those taken by the Triumph were fine skins, some of the big bulls weighing as much as COO pounds." CANADIAN'S NEW PROJECT. Plans Contemplate the Building: of Fifteen Big: Steamers. MONTREAL., July 2G. Discussing the Canadian Paclfio Railway's tender for the fast Atlantic steamship service to be subsidized by thje British and Canadian Governments to tho extent of $1,500,000 per annum, Sir Thomas Shaughnessy, the president of the company, stated that the plans contemplated the construction of four 20-knot passenger steamers and 10 or 11 10,090-ton cargo boats with a speed of 15 knots. Other railway companies, he said, would be placed In as equally a favorable position as the Canadian Pa clfio as regards traffic, etc LONDON, July 20. The Times an nounces this morning that tho subsidy of the Canadian Pacific service will depend' upon the speed of the passenger steamers. If they are 20-knot vessels, Canada will give a subsidy of 175,000 and Great Britain will probably supplement this by a subsidy half as great, making a total of 262,000. There is every prospect, says the paper, that the matter will be ar ranged before the Canadian Ministers leave London. According to the Times, the Canadian Pacific Railway is prepared to fight tbe Atlantic shipping combine. Passenger boats, says the Times, will be built to bo available as armed cruisers or as troop ships, with large steerage accommoda tions. LONDON, July 26. The Westminster Gazette this afternoon, discussing the new Canadian Pacific Railroad service, which it assumes will unquestionably be carried out, says: "While the new vessels as now proposed will bo running within two years, the ulti mate scheme Involves establishing a new and thorough modern port, whose lo cation is yet -undetermined, eliminating the St. Lawrence passage and shortening the voyage materially. With the view of Improving the time of the through trip to tho Far East, two new vessels of equal s-peed to those of the Atlantic lines will be added to the Pacific fleet, while ulti mately 23-knot ships will be added to the sen Ice, which wHl be manned by naval reservists and constitute the most effec ts e fleet of commerce-destroyers and pro tectors in the world." CHEAPEST OF THE SEASON. French Bnrlc Chartered to Load nt Portland In Novemher nt 27b. The French bark Gael has been chart ered to load wheat at Portland at 27 shl'llngs, tne lowest rate yet paid for a ship for 1&02-03 loading, the rate In dicating that owners ha'e at last become in touch with the situation on the Pacific Coast. While there is very little money in the business at 27 shillings for a British or h. German ship, the bounty enaoles vessels flying the French flag to show a profit at low rates where other vessels would show a loss. The British, however, are beginning to show signs of uneasiness, and the Crown of Germany, a. vessel well known in this port, was chartered a few days ago for spot loading at San Francisco at 25 shillings. The vessel came from Table Bay in ballast" and was in port but four days when her owners chartered her at the best rate they could get in preference to having her lie idle, as so many vessels are doing at San Francisco.

Emigration From Scnndlnavln. COPENHAGEN, July 26. The transport lines are .coping with the greatest rush of Scandinavian emigration to the United States since the eighties. Every outgo ing vessel, Scandinavian or American, is crowded. The Oscar II, of the Scandinavian-American line, is taking 1000 emigrants on each trip. Her two sister ships will now bo hurried towards com pletion in order to handle tho traffic The oauso of this rush is the unprece dented hard times throughout Scandi navia, as well as the more stringent con scription laws in Sweden. The emigrants arc mostly of an excellent class and are bound, chiefly to the Western States, where they will settle on agricultural lands. The total number of emigrants which left this port for the United States during the. nine months ending with March 1902, were: Denmark 3.3S2 Norway 8.01D Sweden 15,601 Marine Notes. The British ship Dlmsdalc In tow of the R. R. Thompson arrived up yesterday afternoon and entered at tho Custom House. She- went to Alaska, dock to dis charge a portion of her cargo. The steamer Eureka Is receiving her lumber cargo at a rapid rate at the Portland Lumber Companys mill, and will get away early this week. The Oliver J. Olsen at Inman-Paulscn's mill will also finish during the coming weok. The Norwegian bark. Queen of Scots, which has been lying Idle at Port Town send since June 23, has been chartered by Balfour. Guthrie & Co. to load wheat for South Africa. She has been in the lumber trade for some time and is an old-timer on the ccast. Half a dozen grain ships are now due at this port, and from present indications, 1 the month of August will be unusually lively along the water-front. No new crop wheat has been received as yet. but the old crop Is still coming In. and there Is enough on spot to give the early ships, cargoes. tiure. from Tillamook. Condition of the bar at 4 P.

Our readers have all heard of tho famous "Lee Penny," the "talisman," from which Scott gave the title to his romance of the crubaders. "Sir Simon Lockhart," wrote Scott, "after much experience of the won ders which it wrought, brought it to his own country and left It to hla heirs, by whom, and by Clydesdale In particular, It was, and is otlll, distinguished by the name of the Lee Penny, from the name of his native seat of Lee." But a new combina tion of a similar kind has just come into being. For on the 4th Inst., at St. George's Church. Catford, a Mr. Lee was married to a Miss Penny, and they were hyphened in their matrimonial announcement as "Lee-Penny." The coincidence is a very curlouo one, and if there be any tallsmanlc virtue in names, the union can scarcely fall to be an happy a one as that of Edith and Sir Kenneth, the Scottish knight. i m EXCURSION RATES TO SALT LAKE CITY.

Third and Washington, (or further Information. (Continued from Paso 0.) Everybody agrees that the fight was a good one. and only a few were found In Portland yesterday who thought that the ex-champion sold out In the last great battle of his career. Among the opinions ventured by Port land men last evening are tho following: Dave Houston, the well-known Southern Pacific conductor-Jcffrles won theflght simply because he was the better man. The cry of "fake" Js itself a "fake." Those who know Jeffries and Fitzsim mons know them to bo fair sports, and tho Idea of the older man's selling out in his last great match Is simply absurd. Jeffries never "loosened up" until the eighth round, and when he saw his chance to land, and land hard, he drove a blow homo that decided the contest. Sporting men always cry "fake" when they take the short end of the betting and then lose Tho fight, according to the press returns, seems to have been tf air. Ernest Helllre, of the Hotel Mikado The cry of "fake" probably originated with the Examiner people, as they are noted for their loud blasts of "hot air." Jeffries won because of Ijls youth, supe rior weight and great strength. "Fltz" deserves great credit for his gritty, up hill fight. Martin Denny, of the Sportsman's sa loon I can hardly believe that the great fight was a prearranged "fake." I do not bellevo that "Fitz" and "Jeff" would be parties to such a transaction. From every Indication the battle was fair and square. John J. McCloakey, manager of the Butte baseball team It was simply a caso of youth against age. "Jeff" was too much for the older man, although "Bob" put up the finest kind of a defense. H. H. Hclman. of Simpson & Helman The fight bears every Indication of having been a "fake." Joe Rellly, ex-dctcctlve Tho fight must have been a "fake," if the returns are to be believed. Schiller, of Schiller & Co. I am of tho opinion that the fight was a genuine "fake." Jack King, the well-known athletic trainer The fight was fair, as far as I can Judge from tho returns. Jeffries won because he was the better man. No man living can whip him. C. A. Malarkey I believe the fight was square. It certainly was a great exhibi tion. George E. Streeter To say tho least, tho "scrap" was a little "fishy." Tom Tracey, the well-known Australian welter-weight Who could cope against Jeffries' weight and strength? Sixty pounds makes a big difference. "Fitz" deserves great credit for his gritty fight ing, but "Jeffs" body blows wero too much for him. GROWTH, OF THE EDITOR Francis Jeffrey Said to Be Father of the Craft. London Globe. The editor as he is now best known the responsible conductor of a newspaper or periodical Is a comparatively recent product of civilization. He Is, indeed, .but little more than a century old. The word Is much, older, for it has been in use for nearly 300 years; but It originally meant, like the French "cdlteur" publisher. And an editor of that kind was sometimes even called an "edltloncr" a particularly ugly word. This use of the term, how ever, soon became obsolete, and from the beginning of the 18th century the world of readers haa been familiar with the editor of the second kind that is, one who pre pares or revises and annotates and ar ranges the work of another, or of others, for publication. This species of editor has undergone a subprocess of evolution on his own ac count Between the conceptions of edi torial duty as understood by, say. Pope and Johnson in their work on Shakes peare, for example, and those of a present-day scholar who, under the auspices of such a body as tho Clarendon Press, or one of the book-publishing societies or clubs, prepares a now edition of a classic, or reprints manuscript material with a wealth of critical apparatus In the shape of introduction and notes and appendices between the3o notions of editorial duty there is a great gulf fixed. A learned editor of the modern variety Mas lately laid It down that "a good writer will be a bad editor, and a good editor a bad stylist"; and his own use of the odious word "stylist" may be held to go some way to prove the truth of his diction. But the statement is too sweep ing to be accepted as it stands. It con tains, of course, a measure of truth, for the qualities required for effective textual criticism, for the patient collation of texts and authorities, and for the various other kinds of detailed work regarded by mod ern scholarship as editorially important, are very different from those needed for original composition. Such considerations as these, however, never occurred to the writers and publishers of the ISth cen tury. A man made his name known by his writing, and then put money In his pouch by his editing his name being a marketable commodity although the ac tual editorial work might be but slight nnd perfunctory, as was the case with Johnson's work on Shakespeare. Then there is the third kind of editor the responsible conductor of journal or periodical who Is hardly traceable much beyond the beginning of the 19th century. It is curious to recall now tho primitive nature of the editorial arrangements which were made when the Edinburgh Review was started. The small band of Northern scholars who cultivated litera ture on a little oatmeal, seem to have thought that a review could bo satisfac torily conducted by a commltteo of nearly a dozen. But this was soon found to be an lmpractlcablo arrangement, and the responsible authority was lodged In the Review's first real editor. Francis Jeffrey. Somewhat similar attempts have been made occasionally In lator days to place the editorial authority more or less In commission, so to speak, though not with such a naive ignoring of possibilities as characterized the start of the Edinburgh, butuch experiments have not usually been very successful. Francis Jeffrey, in charge of the Edin burgh Review, was the real father of all who have since- occupied the editorial chair of paper or periodical. It may be objected that magazine editors' existed be fore Jeffrey's day;but it would be hard to show that any so-called editor exer cised functions really corresponding to those of his present-day successor. Fors ter, in his "Life of Goldsmith," speaks of Smollett as the editor of the once famous Critical Review, but this Is not strictly correct. Smollett was the mainstay, from the literary point of view, of that maga zine, but the responsible charge rested with Its founder and proprietor. Archi bald Hamilton, the bookseller. This was the usual arrangement. The conductor was the publisher. Goldsmith was for a while the chief writer In the rival review, the Monthly. He did hack work of every kind work which In later and more prosperous days he never cared to claim as his own, for it was written under hard and degrading conditions; but the real conductor of the Monthly was its proprietor, Griffiths, the bookseller, whom Smollett dubbed "Illit erate." and whose power was shared by his wife. Goldsmith complained that all he wroto was tampered with by these worthies, who Jointly filled the editorial chair. Cave, the bookseller, again, who founded the Gentleman's Magazine, was also its responsible conductor. And In those cases where a magazine or other perlodlcal'publlcatlon was Identified, not with a bookseller or publisher, but with a well-known writer's name, the We Do More Than We Advertise That in a measure will explain the confidence that the public repose in us, as hundreds have found by experience that we make no statements in our advertisements that we are unable to carry out.

SEVENTH THE ONLY ADVERTISING DENTAL OFFICES IN THE CITY THAT ARE OWNED AND RUN BY GRADUATE DENTISTS writer was not an editor In the modern sense, for his business was to write, for the most part, his own paper, not to ac cept or reject, sift and arrange and cor rect the contributions of others. It was In this way that Defoe conducted hl3 Re view, Steele and Addison the Tattler. Spectator .and Guardian. Fielding the Cov ent Garden Journal and Johnson the Rambler and Idler. Occasional numbers of one or other of these papera. or of the many other periodical publications the Connoisseur, World, Adventurer and the like might be written by a casual con tributor, but In the main they were writ ten. In each case, by the one or two men who started, and If the expression may be allowed, "ran" them. Jphnson did much to abolish the days and traditions of Grub street and to en hance the dignity of the profession of let ters. Francis Jeffrey first Invested the editorial chair with an authority which commanded respect. But for editors in general, and especially for the editors of newspapers, contempt was long the pre vailing feeling in "polite society." A, newspaper editor was to many a pariah, a social outcast. In tVaverley, Scott makes Colonel Talbot say, when an un palatable newspaper paragraph was put Into his hand, "I wish to heaven these scoundrels were condemned to be squeezed to death In their own presses. I am told that thero arc not less than a dozen of their papers now published In town, and no wonder that they are obliged to In vent lies to find sale for their Journals." Not less than a dozen! "What would the gallant Colonel say now, could he revisit the glimpses of the moon? Still more sig nificant was a remark made by a scribe, who wrote an account of the life of Dr. Dodd. the forger, for an edition of that worthy's "Thoughts In Prison." which was issued in 1818, "he (Dr. Donri) de scended so low as to become the editor of a newspaper!" WINES AND COMETS. Relntlon of Grnpes and Vintage- to Meteors. London Globe. It has been said that a good drinker should bo able at the first taste to recog nise the wine: at the second, the quality; and nt the third, the age. If any of the genuine race of "gourmets" still survive, they may be able to appreciate the old formula, though It Is to be fpared that the modern expert would find some difficulty in applying it. Not that he would neces sarily be unequal to the occasion In the mere matter of words. Every branch of criticism has Its necessary vocabulary, and a Judge of wine Is not behind his brethren in the use of esoteric terms of art. The ordinary consumer contents himself with those broad distinctions which are sufficient for every-day pur poses. Any wine merchant's list will serve as an elementary text-book on the subject, and the novice may edify his mind with such approved epithets a3 lovely, eoft, round, delicate, until he Is competent to pronounce In favor of the "light and dry" of the "full And generous." But the wlnc taeter must be master of a much more subtle appreciation. He knows to a nicety what "delicacy and vlnoslt" denote, the .precise value of the phrase "elegant In style," and the exact amount of body necessary to justify the encomium of "showing great firmness." Thit a port wine should be pronounced "well bred" Js In the nature of things, considering the good company it kept for so many years, any falling oft In the manners of old port would be a p'osltive calamity. Then there Is "curious" port, a phrase which touches the connoisseur in the one soft spot of h.s experienced In credulity. "Sound ' and "old" arA roo- slble adjectives, indicative of a vinous status of much seemllness and respecta bility. But "curious" touches a higher note, and the critical palate at once pre pares Itself for a revelation. It may be questioned, however, If any of these epithets aTe so expressive and satisfying as one which was formerly In great vogue. Something like a century ago everj' virtue aid accomplishment which a wine could possess was summed up and certified to by the term "comet wine." Only a genius could have arrived at the conclusion that tho vintage of a notable comet year was of vastly super ior quality and flavor to that produced In ordinary seasons; and none but an astute man of business could have turned tho discover' to profitable account. In the old time comets were held as accountable for wars, plagues, earthquakes, and other grievous troubles. But by a playful wrench of fancy they were supposed to bring warmth and runshlne and to be stow special frultfulness upon the vine. No one has heird of a "comet" cucum ber or peach season; but with regard to wine, It was at once perceived that "com et" was a flrst-rate word to conjure with. It fired the convivial imagination and was also of considerable mnemonic as sistance? Thu3 we road of thit worthy gentleman of the old school who yet "nurses some few bottles of the famous comet year of 1S11, emphatically cajled cometwlne. " What an enthralling sub ject for after-dinner chat! How often must the wines of all ages and countries have been discussed under the Influence of that Irresistible' cordial; probably not without some display of the comparative method, In reference to the cellars of friends and neighbors. Even an astronomer might have lapsed Into enthusiasm, and told how tho tall of that particular comet was of the stupen dous length of 132,000,000 miles. "Had It been coiled round the earth like a ser pent, It would have gone round more than IXW0 times." A llfc-gfvlng blanket for the vines, and a magnificent advertise ment for the growers. Then there was the vintage of 1S5S, which was regarded as "something wonderful." That was the great year of Donatl's comet, the splen did appearance of which some of us .still remember.. In 1S61. as we are told, the earth passed through the tall of a comet, but how the grapes of that year were af fected by the contact is not very clear. He Worried the Guide. Brooklyn Eagle. There Is a practical joker In Chicago who deserves to be classed with the ' ioc tor" In Mark Twain's "Innocents Abroad." The "Doctor's" conversation with the guide In relation to the mummy is hardly more amusing than this man's conversa tion with a guide In relation to Niagara Falls. He recently made his first trip to the Fnll3 and a guide that he hired was trying to impress him with their magni tude. "Grand!" suggested the guide. "Great!" acquiesced the Chlcagoan stol idly. "Magnificent!" persisted the guide, dis appointed at the lack of enthusiasm. "Finer thin the Bear Trap Dam in the Drainage Canal," admitted the Chlcagoan. The guide looked to see If he was Jok ing, but there was never a smile. The Chlcagoan seemed to be Interested, but not at all Impressed. "Millions of gallons a minute," ex plained the guide. "How many In a day?" asked the Chl cagoan. "Oh, billions and billions," said the guide. The Chlcagoan looked across and down and up. as if gauging the How, and then turned away disinterestedly. "Runs all night, too, I suppose," he re marked nonchalantly. The guide was dazed and ho had not recovered when the Chlcagoan left. COMMUTATION TICKETS TO THE COAST. The O. R. & N.
