SAY UXORICIDE IS INSANE struck by the master for not obeying or ders which he did not hear, and he asked for damages In the sum of Perilous Experience of the China Liner Indraveiii. TWO DAYS OF ROUGH WEATHER Decks Swept T Contlnmcm Seas, Beats Smashed and Cabins Flood ed Xo Loss of Life Ship Brings Heavy Cargo. The Portland & Asiatic liner Indraveiii, Captain Craven, has arrived after the roughest passage of any steamer of the company 3ince the line was started. For Turn dnvs shA was virtually at the mercy of the elements and though she was ) eomewhat battered up, she came though Jt without any loss of life. Two days out from Yokahama the steamer ran Into a hurricane that made progress almost im possible. The storm really began on Sunday, Feb ruary 8, when the Indraveiii encountered a Srcsh gale. This swelled to whole-gale proportions on tho following morning. A sea mountain-high wan running and im mense quantities of water were shipped. Time and again huge waves swept the ship's deck fore and aft. From 4 o'clock In the morning until noon the fury of the gale did not abate a particle. The steamer lurched and labored heavily, at times vnder the foaming sea, again with her otern high out of the water and the en gines racing. An attempt was made to heave to, but this could not be accom plished without putting the ship in the trough of the sea. The waves dashed in two port lifeboats, stove in tho side ports and flooded the cabins. As It was Im possible to keep steerage way, oil was used to some advantage. During the afternoon the gale continued, but by night the weather had moderated slightly. Tues day morning opened with the wind fresh and strong and gradually lessening in force. Tuesday afternoon they had fine weather. "With all the damage done, there were no serious casualties. Several sailors were knocked down and bruised by the seas that tore along the decks and the 14 Jap anese and four Chinese passengers in the steerage were made deathly seasick. The IndraveUl's round trip was made in 79 days. She sailed out from Astoria December 10 and on the way across en countered adverse winds, high seas and frequent galea The JSOth meridian was crossed December 22 and the ship reached Yokohama January 2, where she met the Indrasamha. Leaving Yokohama four days later the steamer arrived at Kobe on the 8th, making a two daya' stay in that port. Mojl was reached on the 11th, and sailing the following day the steamer arrived at Hong Kong on January 17. The last of her weGt-bound cargo was dis charged, the eastbound freight taken aboard and on January 25 the return trip began. Out from Hong Kong the Indraveiii got Into a strong northeast monsoon, with .fog for two days and a high head sea. She arrived at Mojl February 1. sailed on the 2d, reached Kobe on the 3d, sailed on the 5th and arrived at Yokohama the next day, where she found the Indrapura in In port. Leaving out from Yokohama on the 7th the steamer two days later had a Bpell of the hurricane weather that made things interesting. The Columbia River lightship came into sight late In the af ternoon of the 26th and at 9 o'clock the following morning tho steamer crossed in. She left up from Astoria at noon Friday and anchored for the night down the river, reaching Alaska dock at 8 o'clock yesterday morning. The Indraveiii brings a large qargo, most of which 1s matting. The hatches were opened soon after her arrival and by nightfall good progress had been made In the work of discharging her. The steamer's cargo In detail Is as follows: 851 bales of gunnies, 24,400 rolls of matting, 2004 cases of tea, 1000 bags of peanuts, 12.S45 bags of rice, 487 cases of Chinese groceries, 210 cases of pineapples, SC5 tuba of soya, 59 cases of provisions, 300 bales of straw braid, 10 tons of paper makers' clay, 1C5 bundles of rattans, 39 bundles of bamboos, 40 bundles of cane chairs. 5S cases of curios, 227 cases of firecrackers.

FEBRUARY GRAIN EXPORTS. Fentnre of the Month Were Heavy Shipment to AuNtrnlin and Africa. Grain exports in .February do not make as favorable a showing as in the same month in tho two preceding years. The total shipments, flour reduced to wheat measure, were 937,137 bushels, as com pared with 1.G77.S25 bushels in February, 3902, and 1.570.40G bushels in the same month in 1901. Flour shipments were also lighter, as the sailing dates of tho Ori etal steamers did not allow a clearance during the month For the same reaon the flour exports in January greatly ex- I ceeaeu those or the same month in 1902 ana vmi. ana the same will be true of the shipments in March of this year. Tho feature of the wheat movement in Febru ary was the largo amount sent to Aus tralia. 413.929 bushels, a market that did not take any Oregon grain in either of the two years with which comparison is made. San Francisco was also a heavy buyer In the month, the shipments to that port aggregating nearly 119.000 bushels. No grain went from here to San Francisco in February a year ago. and in February, 1901, he exports were only about SOW bus Js. But three grain cargoes were shipped from Portland last month to the United Kingdom. TRIAL OF THE HOWARD, New Quartermaster's Stejuner Given n Satisfactory Test. The trial trip of the Quartermaster's steamer Major Guy Howard yesterday afternoon was a success in every particu lar. Though no attempt was made to speed her, she easily reeled off 12 knots an hour on the run. Fred A. Ballin. the designer of the boat; Colonel Hathaway and several officers of the Quartermas ter's Department at Astoria and Vancou ver. vere aboard. The steamer only went down as far as the mouth of the Wil lamette, but that was sufficient to satisfy all of the success of the boat. A few finishing touches are to be put on. and the steamer will then be turned over to the department. Mutiny on n Rrlcanttne. HAVANA, Feb. 25. The crew of the British brlgantine Persia, of Windsor.

TWELVE YEARS. Castronovo, Who Killed Another Italian, la Sentenced. G. Castronovo, who killed Joseph Gug lielmo, a saloonkeeper, at the corner of First and Ciav streets, on Christmas eve, was sentenced to 12 years in the peniten tiary by Judse Cleland yesterday. The extreme penalty provided by the statute is 15 years. Dan R. Murphy, attorney for the prisoner, was allowed 20 days to pre pare a bill of exceptions for an appeal to the supreme Court. Before the sentence was pronounced Castronovo made the following statement to the court. . through an interpreter: "I was going home when Joe Guglielmo came to the door and pointed a revolver at me, I turned around and aw two men trying to get hold of me. I told them to let me go about my business. They took hold of me by the leg and pulled me down on the sidewalk. I took my knife and de fended myself. After that I got up and went away." This disjointed statement threw no ad ditional light on the affair, because sev erat witnesses tcsunea alter the same manner at the trial Castronovo's lawyer had nothing to say, and Judge Cleland, in pronouncing sentence, was brief and made no comment on the case whatever. He simply said: "The sentence of this court is that you be confined in the state pent tentiary for a period of 12 years, and that you pay a fine of JL" The last part of the sentence doesn' mean anything, but is merely a compll ance with a requirement of the statute. Castronovo's friends have collected con sldcrable money for hhn among the Ital lans nere, ana it is stated that money was also raised In San Francisco. The appeal to the Supreme, Court will be prosecuted- If the funds have not given out. SHIP OAFTA1X MUST PAY. For Brutal Treatment to Sailors, Conrt Awards 1450.

ENTRANCE 186 FIRST BLACKLIST FOR SOLONS HEX WHO VOTED AGAIXST "INSAXE PATIENTS" BILL GET OX. Measure Was Prepared by Federa tion of Women's Clubs, but Was Defeated by Sheriffs. PORTLAND, Feb. 25. (To the Editor.) Since the adjournment of tho Legislature I hive been watching the columns of your valuable paper, hoping to find published therein the details of the defeat of our bill In the House. I refer to the bill pro viding for the transportation of insane patients In charge of an asylum attend ant (and said attendant a womm in case the patient be a woman), instead of in care of Sheriffs or their deputies. This bill was introduced by Senator Smith, of Umatilla, at. the instance of the Oregon Federation or omen s iuos. i the Senate in spite of benator i? uuon a i eloquent plea on behalf of the Sheriffs graft. In the House, however, it met the combined opposition of the Sheriffs and the political ambition of the Representa tives. The Multnomah delegation, to a man, s.ood by the measure, and resisted alike the blandishments and threats of our own Sheriff Storey, who considered it his duty and it seemed to be also his privi legeto work on the floor of the House as well as In the lobby. Although this bill would have saved to our State Treasury at least half of the JS0.000 appropriated for the transportation of insane patients during the next two years, and although it would mean more humane treatment of these unfortunates on their way to the asylum, 27 of our Legislators voted themselves on the black list, which is on record In every woman's club in the state.

Success Should Attend the Movement for Removal of Restriction. Louisville Courier-Journal. One of the absurdities of the Dinsley tariff is the 15 per cent ad valorem duty on w'orks of art, by means of which our pe0ple are deprived of the opportunity to ee SLnd en1ov manv snlendid collects see and enjoy many splendid collections of priceless treasures. For instance, J. Pierpont Morgan does not confine his purchases to railroads and steamships. He Is also a collector of paintings, books and other artistic objects, and he has the purse of Fortunatus with which to gratify his desire for works of art. The result has been that It Js said on good authority he has now acquired $35,000,000 worth of pic tures and other artistic creations which he ptores in Europe and in his London home. If the tariff Is removed he will bring them to this country and place them where millions may see his master pieces without, charge. At present a col lection worth millions Is in the British museum, though, but for tho- tax on art, it would be In the United States. The United States has grown in wealth, and with riches are coming refinement and culture, but their development Is re stricted under the silly excuse of protect ing American art. An art or a learning that requires the protection of a tariff is not worth having. Art has developed itself In the face of every privation, but It de velops more rapidly when facilities are Slven for the study of the masterpieces ! Europe Is full of art galleries, while our i collections in America are so few that we i h bj.uij wtaius in uiJjjurtuiuiica tur Inspecting the works of the immortals. The tariff which restricts their Importa tion Is too petty to be worth considera tion for a moment. A movement is on foot to secure the repeal of the tarff, and by all means It should succeed. Every blow that Is given the stone wall of pro tection will Improve the position of the country- Certainly there Is no excuse for shutting out art collections. POLICEMAN UNDER FIRE.

As these vary greatly, no one of them can be em ployed as a common medium of communi cation, and experience Justifies the first decision to make English the language of the schools. Indeed, to teach the children to read and write their own dialects would be of little use to them, for after they had learned to do so further progress would cease, as there is no literature for them to study. The knowledge of the language of a civilized nation, on the other hand, would of Itself be, to a certain extent, a. liberal education for these people, as they' would thus have a world of information made accessible to them from which they would otherwise be excluded. This policy is in marked contrast with that followed by most European nations in their Ori ental possessions, and Its results will be watched with Interest. John J. Mitchell Dead. CHICAGO, Feb. S.
