AURORA BOREALIS SEEN
PORTLAND IS TREATED TO
BRILLIANT DISPLAY.
Telegraphic Service Is Somewhat
Crippled In Almost Every
Direction.
A brilliant specimen pf the aurora bo
realls -was seen In Portland early yes
terday morning. Its presence had al
ready been noticed by its effect upon the
telegraph wires, and -while a privileged
few were admiring its beautiful glory, the
operators were hurling anathemas at the
electrical force which was playing havoc
with their messages.
As a consequence of the visit of the
stranger from the northern sphere a num
ber of messages accumulated over all the
lines from Chicago to San Francisco.
Around St. Paul and "Winnipeg in partic
ular, the electrical force of the aurora
borealls was felt. South of Portland's lat
itude, it was not felt to any marked de
gree. The spectacle witnessed by a few late
travelers is said to eclipse any celestial
display ever seen in this city. The whole
northern heavens were lit up with the
glow, while the varl-colored aurora
sweeping over the sky looked like a rain
bow seen through a prism. The phenomena
lit up the heavens for fully 20 minutes.
It was nearly 4 o'clock when the last
rays died out, after a parting burst of
splendor.
Just how the aurora borealls generates
enough energy to send ticks which sound
much like those of another instrument.
Is something which has yet to be ex
plained. But every operater In Canada
and the northern part of the United
States fears the coming of the borealls.
The only method used by the telegraph
companies is to form a round circuit,
similar to a telephone line. But as the
electrical ticks and taps do not come with
any regularity It is difficult to counter
balance the effect of the dreaded borealls.
The result is similar to the crossing of
two wires.
Last evening the wires felt the elec
trical energy from the north for a short
time, but the spectacle witnessed in the
early hours of the morning did not ap
pear. EAST FEELS THE EFFECT.
Wire Communication Is Completely
Demoralized at Some Points.
CHICAGO, Oct. 31. Serious electrical
disturbances said to be due to the aurora
borealls caused great interference with
telegraph and telephone companies today.
Telegraph wires in ail directions from
Chicago felt the effect. In some lacalltles
causing a total cessation of business. Long
distance telephone wires were similarly
affected, communication being entirely
suspended at times. One report said that
i huge ether wave with high force passed
through the earth, paralyzing the strength
of the wires.
The disturbance lasted about eight hours.
At its climax there were 675 volts of elec
tricity enough to kill a man In the wires
without the batterj' attached. An hour
later the trouble had virtually disap
peared. "It was the worst electrical disturbance
In this city in 35 years,' said Chief Opera
tor Pettlt, of the Postal Telegraph Com
pany. "At times there were no workable
wires In any direction and the cable ser
vice was seriously affected both on -the
Atlantic and Pacific.
Brilliant Display In Seattle.
SEATTLE, Oct. 31. The display of
aurora borealls probably reached its cli
max as viewed In the Puget Sound country,
the display lasted over two hours. The
city was Illuminated as If by moonlight
throughout the d:splay. ' The rays met
In a focus in the zenith. The coloring was
mostly brilliant emerald and blood red.
The effect was startling.
Light Intense at Salt Lake.
SALT LAK13, Oct. 31. A remarkable
display of the aurora barealls was visible
here early this morning, continuing for
several hours. So Intense was the light
that many were of the belief that a large
fire was raging north of the city. Tele
graph service throughout the Northwest
was bady crippled for some time.
Cable Messages Greatly Delayed.
NEW YORK, Oct. 3L The French Ca
ble Company gives notice that owing to
the extraordinary electrical disturbances
they are informed by the European ad
ministration that business will be subject
to heavy delay.
New York Wire Service Crippled.
NEW YORK. Oct. 3L A brilliant display
of the aurora borealls early today inter
fered with telegraphic service in this vi
cinity. Ail cablegrams were accepted sub
ject to heavy delay.
Duluth Is Illuminated.
DULUTH. Minn., Oct. 3L The brilliant
Northern lights Illuminated the heavens
for half an hour. The display was pro
nounced by many to be the most beau
tiful ever seen In Duluth.

together with sprays, pendants, etc.,
of the same style of work or setting in
white stones, brilliants or old paste,
our entire collection of beautiful old
silver and plate, and the complete col
lection of old China to the Louvre. This
bequest is- on condition that the three
collections be gathered together In one
and displayed as the 'Beatrix Whistler

priately In the same room.shall be hung
proofs of my wife's exquisite etching,
of which I leave a list attached to my

kind I devise and bequeath the same to
my wlfes sister and my ward, Rosalind
Blrnle Phillip, and I direct that she
shall thereout aid my wife's son, Ed
ward Godwin, In his training as sculp
tor, by allowing him an income to the
extent of one-fifth of the Income of
such residue when Invested, such one
fifth to be paid to him until he attains
the age of 23 years and I appoint.-Rosa-Hnd
Birnie Phillip as sole executrix of
my will." By a codicil made on May 7,
1903. Mr. Whistler revoked the bequest
to the Louvre, but he expresed a desire
without any wish to control or bind
Miss Phillip, that, in the event of her
retaining the collection of garnets dur
ing her life, she would bequeath them
to the Louvre upon like conditions with
those contained in his will.
COAL IMPORTS TO INCREASE.
Rebate of Duty Marked by Gain In
Business of About 76 Per Cent.
The Importations of coal into the United
States during the first nine months of the
present calendar y.ear have amounted to
2.6S7.0S1 tons, against 1,546,112 tons in the
corresponding months of the preceding
year, an lncrease-of 1,140.969 tons. The
rebate of -duty on coal authorized by Con
gress In January, 1903. went Into opera
tion January 14. so that the figures for
the nine months of 1903 represent the Im
portation of coal free of duty during
practically all of that period compared
with the corresponding period of the pre
ceding year. In which the importations
of bituminous coal were dutiable. The
figures here quoted, ss presented by the
Department of Commerce and Labor
through its Bureau of Statistics, Include
both bituminous and anthracite coal, but
as the total Imports of anthracite in the
nine months of 1D03 amounted to but 137,
248 tons, the chief Increase Is In bitumin
ous. - This increase of 1.140.000 tons Is chiefly
in coal from the United Kingdom, from
which the imports of bituminous coal
during the nine months ending with Sep
tember, J903. amounted to 1.105,951 tons
against 73,243 in the corresponding nine
months of 1902. From Canada, which the
Bureau of Statlstips designates as "Brit
ish North. America," the total imports
of bituminous coal for the nine months
ending with September. 1903, were 1.225.294
tons against 1.195.SC9 tons in.he corre
sponding months of the preceding year,
an increase of but 29.423 tons from Canada.
From other countries the Imports are
of course extremely small, the largest
Item aside from the United Kingdom
and Canada, being Japan, from which 50.
784 tons were imported in theilne months
of 1903, against S176 In the corresponding
months of 1902, and "othr Asia and
Oceania" 303.626 against 239.951 In the cor
responding month'; of 1902. Thus, nearly
all of the Increase In the Importations of
coal in the present year under the removal
of rebate of duty authorized in January
has been from the United Kingdom, while
the total Increase, as already indicated,
amounted to 1,140,969 tons.
Meantime the exportation of coal has In
creased more than the importation. The
total coal exported from the United States
in the nine months ending with September,
1903. amounted to C.314.189 tons against !,
720,330 tons In the corresponding months
of last year, an Increase of 1.593.S59 tonsl
The foreign commerce of the United
States In coal, whether of Imports or ex
ports. Is extremely small compared with
the domestic production In which the
United States now- exceeds any other
country of the world. Importations of coal
have never reached as much as 2.000,003
tons In a single year prior to the fiscal
year 1903, when they were 3.C10.225 tons, or
a little more then 1 per cent of the do
mestic production; while the highest figure
ever reached In exports was In 1901, when
It amounted to 7,673,549 tons.
The relative Importance of the imports
or exports to the coal production from the
mines of the United States is shown by
the figures of coal production as reported
from year to year by the Geological
Survey, which shows that the total coal
production In the last year was 269,000,000
long tons, the quantity being about the
same as 1D01. In which year the figures
were quoted as 261.873.675 tons. The growth
in coal production In the United States Is
shown by the following table, which shows
the number of tons of coal produced In

as usual, but the captains played a trick
upon the merrymakers by sending out the
members of the day and second night

According to the time-honored custom,
tho boys, xang'ng In age from 2 to 20
years, gathered In large gangs. They
could "spot a copper" in his uniform, but
the plain-clothes men were a puzzle. After
being chased and almost caught by men
who were, to all outward appearances,
ordinary persona, the boys fought shy of
every one. so In the end little damage
to property was done after all.
Daylight will probably disclose a few
pieces of serious mischief, bu up to mid
night nothing of any consequence had
been reported to the Police Station.
There were many false alarms from per

The Artist's Studio Filled With Rare
Pictures-Hls Bequest to Louvre.

London. After the death of Whistler,
the American artist, not long ago, his
house and studios on the Chelsea em
bankment were found filled with por
traits, sketches, etchings and other
works which his friends knew nothing
about, and they are said to include sev
eral examples superior to any that he
ever exhibited. They have been Inher
ited by Miss Rosalind B. Phillip, his
sister-in-law, executrix and only heir
at law, for he was a widower without
children. His estate was appraised at
$52,000. Among these newly discovered
works is a remarkable portrait of Geo.
Vanderbilt, which evidently was paint
ed several years ago, but It has never
been exhibited or discussed. Why Mr.
Whistler should have retained it in se
clusion has not been explained. Per
haps Mr. Vanderbilt can throw some
light on the subject, but he has not
done so, or perhaps It did not suit the
artist, who was always very critical
of his own work. There are several
other equally mj sterlous potraits, all of
them fine examples of Whistler's pecu
liar style. Those who have seen them
declare that they are the best work he
ever did.
Whistler's friends in England want
to make an exhibition of these works
as an evidence of his greatness, and as
a rebuke to the Royal Academy, which
refused to elect him a mpmhpr hnf "M

the auspices of the Copley society. This
arrangement causes much disappoint
ment and chagrin in London, where it
was expected that the first exhibition
would be given. There is a story in cir
culation, which I cannot verify, that
the collection will remain permanently
in the United States as a monument
to Whistler, and be located either in
New Tork or Boston. The matter lies
with Mr. Freer, but he is- not ready,
even if he is able, to talk definitely on
the subject.
Whistler's will was filed for probate
only 'the other day, and reads as fol

Mrs. Crinin Is the mother of the late
G. P. Griffin, with tihosc family she

In many ways Grandma Griffin is
& most remarkable woman. Her
mind Is unusually bright, and her
retentive memory make her a
ready reference library on historical
m'atters. She is an entertaining conversationalist, and can take up almost any sub
ject, and recite facts and Incidents with great accuracy. She Is a great reader
and reads the newspapers of the day without the aid of gjasse. She is not one
to be pened, but always insists upon waiting upon herself, and really enjoys lite

her friends call for a chat or visit.

youngsters flying.
Early in the evening a crowd of boys
gathered around a long pile of vitrified
bricks at Third and Madison streets. The
bricks are to be used for paving, but the
youngsters cared nothing for the future
well-being of Madison street. They hurled
the bricks In all directions, and especially
Into the deepest mud. until discovered by
an officer. The boys had worked with
far more diligence than the men who had
piled up the bricks, and quite a number
of bricks are missing.
Taken altogether It was a remarkably
peaceful Halloween. Had not so many
policemen been on the streets there would
have undoubtedly have been more depre
dations, but when the boys learned that
policemen dressed in citizens' clothes
we.re after them they feared every one
and consequently behaved well, on the
whole.
