HOLLADAY PARK ADDITION NOW ON THE MARKET ! CHOICE LOTS FOR SALE ! Comes West to Escort the President East. THE SUNDAY OREGOtflAN, PORTLAND. MAY 24, 1903. RIDES ON THE SPECIAL TRAIN Insists That His Visit Has No Sic nlflcance, "but Admits Jforthern J Pacific Plans to Extend Washington Lines. The visit of President C. S. Mellen to Portland was one of thoee quiet affairs. The president of the Northern Pacific did not make a vlrft to the local offices of the road, and though a personal friend of the President of the United States did not take part in any of the ceremonies. That the latter condition was true prob ably resulted from the fact that no one In authority knew he was to come at the time he arrived, and no Invitation was awaiting thi head of the Northern Pa cific. But President Mellen left for the East as he said he would piloting: the train of President Roosevelt. The piloting part he played was not to ride aboard the first special himself, for A. E. Law, of Tacoma, assistant general superintendent of the road, was in charge of that train. Mr. Mellen left Portland a guest of the President on board the latter's special train. Mr. Mellen insisted while here that his trip to the Coast had no significance aside from his plan to pilot the Presidential party East over his line. He preserved the same attitude he had shown elsewhere in avoiding railroad topics whenever pos sible. That It is the ultimate intention of the Northern Pacific to build up both sides of the peninsula, in AVashlngton, upon which is located the Olympic range Mr. Mellen acknowledges. The Northern Pacific la now constructing a branch ex tending from Hoqulam, on Grays Harbor, to the Qulnault Indian reservation, tap ping a country that heretofore has even been without good wagon roads, but which Is regarded as wonderfully fertile and capable of a high state of cultivation. It is not likely that this road will be built much beyond the Humptullpa River at present, but ultimately it is to be ex tended to the entrance to the Sound and may come down on the east side of the Olympic range to connect with a line built up that side of the -mountains. The Port Townsend & Southern Is likely to be the Northern Pacific's road on the .east side of the range. Ultimately it Is announced to be the intention of the Northern Pacific to build down this aide, tapping all of Jefferson County and reach ing the old line of the Northern Pacific at or near Olypmia. TO PLANT EASTERN OYSTERS. Four Carloads Coiuinp From At lantic Const for Willapa Harbor. Four cars filled with seed oysters from the Atlantic Coast are speeding across the continent, consigned to oystermen at Oystervllle. on Willapa harbor, in Wash ington. The cars are expected to make the run from Massachusetts to Willapa harbor in 13 days. These eeed oysters are being brought West to bfe transplanted in the Toke Point district of Willapa harbor, to go on the uoast market later as Toke Point oysters. Tiiere' are 'four cars each filled with bar rels containing the seed oysters. The North Shore Dispatch carried the oyster shipment to Niagara Falls and turned them over to the Michigan Central, over which line they were taken Into Chicago. The Burlington had the haul from Chicago to the Minnesota Transfer where the Northern Pacific took up the cars and has started them westward. It required six days' time on the fast freight lines of the Eastern roads to carry the oysters to St. Paul. The North ern Pacific will, with Its "expedited service" get the oysters to the Coast in seven days. The concern of oystermen with ship ments of thifl charactor on the road Is great for hours count In getting the seed oysters back into the water again. North ern lines declare the traffic of this kind amounts to between 25 and 30 cars an nually and that it is increasing as rapidly as oystermen can prepare to handle the Increased business. The Coast markets cannot be supplied at present and the op portunity for the development of the trade is practically unlimited. ROAD TO EUREKA. Offlcials of Suutn Fe Drive Over the Route. SAN FRANCISCO. May 23. Both the San Francisco & Northwestern and the San Francisco & Eureka Railroad Com panies, which were brought into existence by the Santa Fe and the California North western respectively to build rival lipes into Humboldt County, are making active efforts to begin construction work.

A circular issued from the general freight office of the Wisconsin. Central ftnnotmcae that the office of general ENJOYABLE VIOLIN RECITAL Reginald L. Hldden's Pnplls Plr tbe Marqeam Theater. Splendid results were shown In their violin playing by pupils at Reginald L. Hldden's seventh annual recital, held last night at the Marquam Theater, and a large crowd was in attendance. Several of the numbers were encored, but no rep etitions were given, the pupils bowing their acknowledgements Instead. The pro gramme was published in last Sunday's Oregonlan. and all the numbers were played except Horn's "Gypsy Fantasle," which was omitted owing to the lateness of the hour. Those who took part were: Ward Alden, Hazel Abrahamson, Lucia Barton, George Burton, Henry Buehner. Rosalind Bunce, Julia Burke, Edward Banford, Anna Campbell. Caslmlr Camp bell, Lucile Daniels, Frank Dubois, Anna English, Gertrude Eastabrooks, Alois Ferrer. Myla Frederlckson, Lcnore Greg ory. Katharine Gilbert, Frances Gill, George Gerson, Louis Gevurtz, Hattle Hamilton. Alice Hamilton, Grace Holden. Ziporah Harris, Harriet Hutchinson, The odore Henkel, Arthur Hcintz, Frank Jesse, Edwin Jacobs, Aoelus Jewett, Colin Livingstone. May Malone, Luclan Pater, Bella Robertson, William Stevens, Eliza beth Savage, Frederic Short, Albln San dahl, Marcus Skarstedt, Clearman Trues dell. Ada Williams. It was noticed that all the pupils played the same way, and had the same style of bowing, all of which speaks well for Mr. Hldden's patient teaching. The music was well played, and the pupils lent to it a personality and a sympathy that was welcome. The solo playing began with a contribution from the smallest pupil. Ward Allen, a little boy who afterward fulfilled the duties of master of cere monies in presenting bouquets to the girl violinists. He was- a great success. Frances GUI was down on the list for two different solos, and she exhibited a pure tone and graceful bowing. Bella Robert son played well In a long, difficult "Scene de Ballet" by De Beriot. The same crit icism applies to the good work shown by Frank Dubois, Ada Williams and Alice Hamilton. Grace Holden has developed a graceful stylo In her playing, and this was seen In her sympathetic treatment of Svcndsen's "Romance," op. 26. She also exhibited self-control and good Interpre tation, and will make a first-class vio llnlste some day If she works hard. Myla Frederlckson played artistically In a Spohr number, and her tone was very sat isfactory. The accompanists were Mrs. Reginald L. Hidden. Mlas Beatrice Hid den. Miss Huggins. Miss Robertson, Mrs. Wing Ross and Rcw F. Dominic, and much of the success of the recital Is due to their painstaking work. DRINKS WOOD ALCOHOL. Jealous Woman Takes Poison and Repents Too Late. Mrs. A. Duffey, who was living with her husband in the cottage at No. 413 East Davis street, died yesterday morn ing from the effects of a large dose of wool alcohol taken Friday morning, evi dently with suicidal intent. She was very jealous of her husband, so it is stated. Mr. and Mrs.1 Walter' Pulllam, of the Brunswick saloon. OMiinv the hmisn at 443 also. From them the facts in the case were gathered. ; Mr. Duffey was out nearly all of Thurs day night, and went home Friday morn ing and went to bed. There was some wood alcohol In a bottle In the room for use In a lamp. Mrs.' Duffey took a small swallow, and lay down on the bed be side her husband, at the same time tell ing what she had done, and asking for a drink of water. Mr. Duffey went down stairs after the water, and on his return he saw that she had drunk more of the alcohol. He then hurried downstairs, and Mr. Pulllam telephoned for Dr. J. M. Batcheller. who has an office In the Burkhard building. Informing him of what had taken place. Dr. Batcheller soon arrived, and by means of a stomach pump soon relieved the woman. She seemed to have recov ered from the effects of the dose during tho afternoon and passed Friday night in comparative comfort. However, yesterday morning she was very sick, and Dr. Batcheller ordered that she be sent to St. Vincent's Hospital, where she died very soon. Her death Is supposed to have been caused Indirectly by the alcohol. Mr. Pulllam said that she suffered from stomach trouble. From what Mrs. Duffey said yesterday morning, she seemed to be very sorry for what she had done. It Is probable that she went further than she intended in taking the alcohol. Judging from her ex pressions of regret. Mr. and Mrs. Duffey a short time ago came from Little Falls, Wash., on the Northern Pacific, where his mother lives She was 31 years of age, and her husl band was much younger. Mrs. Duffey had been married before, and had two children by her former 'husband, who are In San Francisco with relatives, who are said to be well off. RINER IS REINSTATED.

TITL E GUARANTEE & TRUST COMPANY, 6 AND 7 CHAMBER OF COMMERCE JESSIE WILL BE A SEALER schooner; is being remitted at VICTORIA JTrobaMe Fate of- the De Condlc Xctt Inmlier Steamer Under Con struction -nt Victoria. The schooner Jessie, formerly engaged as a pilot-boat at the mouth of the Colum bia, Is on the ways at Victoria, being over hauled and made ready to go to Behring Sea when the fleet goes North. The Jessie when seen In the stocks Is a stanch and picturesque vessel. Built by Turner, the yacht-bullert of San Francisco, for the McDonough Bros., of that city, she cost JSO.OOO, and her cabin fittings, plate glasses and walnut-finish fixtures cost another , 520,000. These have long since been taken out of the vessel, as well as the 3a-horse-power auxiliary engine, which she car ried before she was taken to the Colum bia River by Captain Carruthers. The frames and knees of the schooner, which aro as staunch as ever, arc of timana wood, her decks are of California white wood, and her planking Is of the best of fir: In fact, no expense was spared by the millionaires for whom she was built as a yacht in making the schooner one of the best of her class on the Coast. She has a novel keel In one piece of cast Iron, run ning from the bow to the stern, making both stem and sternpost. This Is filled with lead. The schooner had been lying idle at Ballard, and tho Victorians who purchased her secured her at what Is considered a low price for such a craft She is being made ready for sealing, and will go to the Behring Sea In command of Captain Byers. who has been sealing on different schooners of the Victoria Seal Ins Company for years. MISSING BARK DE COUDIC. May Have Been Lout In the Marshall Group. New light Is thrown on the, fate of tho French .bark De Coudlc, which left San Francisco last December for Sydney and never reached her destination, by a report just received from Sydney. Australia. A schooner has arrived at the Australian port from the Southern Pacific islanda with the report that the abandoned wreck of a large bark has been found on a reef In the vicinity of the Marshall Islands. It Is surmised that this vessel Is the lost French bark. She was posted as missing at Lloyds' some time ago. What has be come of the crew of the lost vessel, which carried a cargo of grain, is unknown, but from the fact that nothing has ever been heard of them, it is reasoned that all have been lost. There Is, though, a small-gleam of hope that they may have reached some of the Islands of the Marshall group, but the hope Is faint. The wreck of the Brltishshlp Manches ter was found slralfcrly to this vessel somo years ago, lying on a reef In the South Pacific Oqean. The Manchester, which was bound from New York to Yokohama with case oil, had long since been given up as lost, when a schooner that had been trading among the Islands arrived at one of the Australian ports with the news of having discovered the wreckage of a vessel of the description of the Manches ter on a small uninhabited Island In the South Pacific group, and with the wreckage was found some cases of kero sene, which led to the belief that the lost oll-carrler had broken up on the unvlsitcd shore. Some traces of survivors were found in the sand ashore, but nothing was ever heard regarding their fate. A French warship has been dispatched from Noumea to Investigate the wreck found 1 nthe Marshall group. WRECK- OF THE VICTORIA. PrlvatloHB Suffered ly the Crew Be fore They Were Rescued. The captain and crew of the British steamer Victoria, which was wrecked on the China coast on April 9, suffered in tensely before they were rescued by the Chinese steamer Hai Yung. For three days the men clung to the precipitous rocks which form the Little Bamboo Isl and, suffering from hunger and thirst and exposed to the fury of the elements. When finally rescued, all the men were in an ex hausted condition. Tbe first details of tho wreck of tho steamer have been received at Vic toria in a letter written by Dr. C. A Nahl, the surgeon of the steamer. According to the doctor's letter tho steamer Is a total loss and cannot be sived. The Victoria is owned by Swayne & Hoyt. of San Francisco, and left Port Gamble with a cargo of lumber for Takue. Sho was formerly a collier runnlnjr from Ladvsmith. The steamer ! struck the rocks on Little Bamboo Island. 45 miles from Chee Foo, during a thick fog. She was Tunning at half speed, and passed Big Bamboo Island In safety when the fog set in, and before Captain Casey was aware of his position the steamer was on the rocks. She filled rapidly, and though tho engines were backed at full speed, she refused to budge from the rocks. The Victoria keeled over to the tarboard side, and fearing that the vessel would sink the captain ordered the boats lowered, and all hands deserted the steam er. With difficulty the men succeeded in reaching the rocks, and for three days re mained there while the storm raged around them, threatening every Instant to pound the steamer to pieces. The first mate, Captain Ferris, of Vic toria, and two sailors, volunteered to bring help, and departed for Chee Foo In a small boat. They reached the port In safety, and the Chinese cruiser Hal Yung went to the assistance of the shipwrecked mariners. The cruiser is standing guard to prevent tho Chinese pirates from loot ing the steamer. The lumber cargo was thrown overboard In an effort to float tho steamer. A diver who examined tho hull reported that the bottom was full of holes, having pounded on the jagged rocks. WAITING FOR REPORT. Pilot Commissioners Wonld Lllce to Hear From Captain IIottcs. ASTORIA. Or., May 23. (Special.) Tho Oregon Board of Pilot Commissioners ha3 not yet received the formal written re port from Captain Howes, who made a survey of the state pilot schooner San Jose, although he has informed the com missioners that in his opinion the schoon er can readily be. placed In a seaworthy condition. He has suggested that a plank be taken from the schooner's hull, below the water line, both forward and aft, so that It can be examined by tho under writers when they classify the vessel. As the San Joso Is but 17 years old, she should be a good risk, when such as the bark Harry Morse, which Is 32 years old, i are so rated. At the June meeting of the commission some definite action relative to the future of the San Joeo will be taken. FOR THE COASTWISE TRADE. I. Timber Steamer Under Construction at Ho aula hi. ABERDEEN. Wash., May 22. Hltchlngs & Joyce, the shipbuilding firm of Ho qulam, have secured a contract for the building of a large steamer to oe com pleted by October 1. Work has already be gun upon It.

The steamer Ruth sailed last night for San Francisco with 400,000 feet of lumber, shipped by the Eastern & Western Lum ber Company. A floating dock for the German-Chinese port of Tslngtau Is being constructed in North Germany, and will be conveyed to China in sections. The Hakodate Dock Company is con structing a new dock at Hakodate, Japan, 610 feet In length. It Is expected to be completed early this Summer. A Spanish journal states that an Im portant enterprise is being planned for. Importing coal Into Spain and other Euro pean countries and for conveying Spanish iron-ore to the United States on the re turn voyage. Steamers will be placed under the French flag, and expect to re ceive the shipping bounty accorded by tho French law.

CORNER IN H OLLADAY PA RKA D D: IN MEMORY OFTHE QUEEN VICTORIA DAY CELEBRATED BRITISH societies; BY Tributes Are Paid to the Sterling QnaliticH and Lovable Character of the Late Ruler. The British societies of Portland cele brated Victoria day at the Armory last night. A programme, In which addresses dealing with the life of the former Brit ish ruler were Interspersed, between excel lent musical features, formed the prin cipal part of the celebration. Refresh ments were served after the last number on the programme had been called, but tho affair would not have been tho un qualified success that It was but for the enthusiasm shown continually . for the memory of the popular Queen. Between 500 and 600 former subjects of the sovereign of descendants, of. English men attended the celebration. It was dis tinctly an English function T,he ad dresses dealt entirely or nearly so with the late Queen; the music was of the best England has produced, and the word's of the songs carried those present back to the snug little Island off tbe coast of Eu rope. And there was not one In thb audi ence who did not enjoy It all or who failed to enter with full spirit into the celebration. The sentiment that English men should commemorate the day for all time found a hearty response from those who heard Robert Livingstone utter It. The British Benevolent Society, St. An drew's Society. Clan Macleay and the Cal edonian Society were all Interested In the obseryatlon of the day. There was no lack of appreciation shown for the addresses delivered during tho evening, but the old English airs and the songs most of those present had heard across tho water aroused the en thusiasm. The audience was in a mood to listen appreciatively to a musical pro gramme, and seemed loath to allow any of those who gave their services .to de part without responding to. encores. . They, were generous were those -vrho gave the musical features, arid time after time they responded to another call for a familiar air. But had the audience been given Its way this feature of the pro gramme would have been prolonged until long after midnight. As it was, it was near to that hour when the celebration drew to a close. The audience closed the programme by singing with a vim ''God, Save the King," and during the evening a dozen other English airs were heard. The Armory was decorated with Amer ican and English flags, which hung" from the four walls. All the emblems floated at Rheumatism "IEnES Kmo Those who have ever felt its keen cutting-pains, or witnessed the intense suffering- of others, know that Rheumatism is torture, and that it is right ly called "The King ofPain." Alldonotsufferalike. Some are suddenly seized with the most escrudia ting pains, and it seems every muscle and joint in the body was being torn asunder.
