GREAT SAILING SHIP
Andorinha Chartered to Load
Wheat Here.
LARGER THAN ALSTERNIXE
Vessel Is Coming From San Francisco
and Will Take Her Cargo Next
MonthBelongs to an Un- '
fortunate Line.
A sailing vessel 2S5 tons larger thaa any
that has evor entered this port has been
chartered to load here, and "will be on
hand In two or three weeks. She Is the
Andorinha, a British four-masted steel
bark, -with a carrying capacity of 5000
tons. Captain Nlcholls is her master.
The fact that the record for size in steam
vessels has Just been broken by the pres
ence of the Algoa, and that one of the
largest sailing ships afloat is soon to
come should convince foreigners and
Eastern people of the shipping facilities
wo have hore.
The Andorinha, -which is now at San
Francisco, was taken by Balfour, Guthrie
& Co. at 16s for the United Kingdom,
December loading. The bark arrived at
the Bay City September 25, after a CS
days' passage from Newcastle, N. S. W.f
bringing 49S2 tons of coaL She is nearly
all discharged now, and will be ready to
sail for Portland the latter part "of this
week. The Andorinha hails from Swan
sea, and Is owned by N. Goldberg & Sons.
The bark was launched in September,
1S92, at the yards of W. Pickersgill & Co.,
at Sunderland, England. She is 316 feet
long, 46 feet beam, and 25 feet depth of
hold.
Belonging to the same line as the An
dorinha were the Andrada and the An
delano, two fine vessels that were lost in
Northern waters. Tho Andrada was
bound for this p6rt for a grain cargo.
Arriving off the mouth of tho river No
vember 4. 10L the ship was boarded by
Pilot Cordner and stood out to sea to
await a favorable opportunity to enter
the river. That was the last ever seen of
her. The Andelana turned turtle in Ta
coma harbor in January, 1S99, and went
to tho bottom, where she still remains,
carrying with her the captain and IS
members of the crew. The ship was
awaiting cargo, and, being light, was
capsized by a squall, and almost imme
diately sank. The master of the Ill-fated
vessel was Captain Stalling, who had but
a short time before been transferred to
her from the Andorinha.
FOR THE SAN FRANCISCO LINE
Manchuria and Mongolia Will Go
Into Oriental & Occidental Service.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 7t The ap
proaching completion of four giant trans
pacific liners, two for J. J. Hill, at Se
attle, and two for E. H. Harriman, at this
port, Is the great topic of Interest among
steamship officials and the large ship
pers between this Coast and the Orient.
The Manchuria and Mongolia ore prac
tically sister ehlps to the Siberia and
Korea, and are costing Harriman about
52.000.000. Much larger are the Minnesota
and Dakota, that are just being completed
for Hill's trans-Pacific line in connection
with his Great Northern railroad.
It Is authoritatively denied that the
Manchuria and Mongolia will run -out of
Portland In connection with the Oregon
Railroad & Navigation Company's line.
They are to ne assigned to the Occidental
&. Oriental Company at this port.
In view of Hill's great preparations In
tho North, Harriman will not stop with
tho two new big liners, but says he will
soon apply for increased dockage facilities
at the port at San Francisco and as soon
as these ore granted he will construct as
many new liners as may be necessary to
gain the bulk of the Oriental trade.
Tho Harriman people assert that the
steamer service between this port and the
Orient will be more than a match for the
Hill service at Seattle, both for freight
and passengers. The Hill people are fig
uring on a 25-days service between Lon
don and Japanese ports via Seattle, as
against CO days via Suez and on P. & O.
steamers, and 49 days by the North Ger
man Lloyd. They also figure on 31 days
between London and Shanghai, as com
pared respectively with the 47 and 44 days
of the other two companies.
By the trans-Siberian road the Journey
from London to Port Arthur requires 20
days. The Hill people assert, however,
that the long all-rail trip will not be pop
ular with most Europeans.
WILL LAUNCH BOAT MONDAY.
Hosford's Gasoline Steamer Will Run
to La Camas.
VANCOUVER, Wash., Nov. 7. (Spe
cial.) Captain O. F. Hosford, of the
Washougal & La Camas Transportation
Company, will launch his new gasoline
passenger boat Monday. This boat is to

The boat is 70 feet in length, with a 13
foot beam, and Is propelled by powerful
gasoline engines. It will accommodate
100 passengers, and will make two round
trips a day, connecting with the Vancou
ver cars at the ferry landing. Arrange
ments have been inado with the street
car company to 'Sell through tickets and
give transfers to the cars. Mr. Hosford
expects to carry the" mall to La Camas
twice a day.
A boat of this kind has long been need
ed on this run, as there Is a good traffic
botweon these points.
JETTY NOT INJURED.
Only a Few Piles In the Trestle Were
Broken by the Gate.
ASTORIA, Or., Nov. 7. Specials-Shipping
men returning from the mouth of
the river last evening reported that about
50 feet of the Jetty trestle had been car
ried away by the recent gale. Engineer

with by telephone today and said the
damage to the Jetty amounted practical
ly to nothing, that a few piles were brok
en t different places, but it did not in
terfere with the construction work, and

New Turbine Channel Steamer.
The associated companies which have
canduptod the transportation service from
Paris to London via Rouen, Dieppe and
Ncwhavcn have recenUy put in service
a new boat, the power for which is fur
nished by engines of the turbine type.
The boat is of 1150 gross fSns, and" the
engines nro of 6000 to 7000 horsepower.
On the trial trip the boat made 2L2 knots
an hour. The three compound turbines
are much lower than the older type of
engines, and are arranged in the bottom
of tho boat, leaving the decks free to
voyagers. They emit no odor, are com
paratively noiseless, and cause but little
vibration. The number of revolutions,
which in the first channel boats was 2000,
is In the new boat reduced to 600. The
first trip across the channel between
Dieppe and Ncwhavcn, a distance of 64.75
miles, was made in 3 hours.

SEATTLE, Wash., Nov. 7. The Katie
Davenport, a sailing vessel loaded with
salmon, got caught in the sales sweeping
Queen Charlotte Sound a few days ago

NEW STAGE FOR BIG PLAY
MARQUAM THEATER TO BE AL
TERED FOR "BEN-HUR."
Great Chariot Scene In Fifth Act In
troduces New Novelties in
Stagecraft.
Klaw & Erlanger's great spectacular
production of General Lew Wallace's ster
ling drama of the times of the Messiah,
"Ben Hur," where So0 people will be on
the stage, will be presented at the Mar
quam Grand for five nights and two mat
inees, starting Tuesday evening. Decem
ber L It was brought to San Francisco
November 2, and will be played there un
interruptedly, with the exception of Sun
days, until November 2S. Because of the
enormous amount of stage room required,
and the heavy expense, the only cities
In the Northwestwhere "Ben Hur" will
be played will be Portland, and afterward
Seattle. To present "Ben Hur" In every
artlstlcdetall, an entirely new stage will
be built at the Marauam, which will be
used as a substage. The present stage
will be cut into sliding traps, so as
not to Interfere with the performance. This
part of tho work will cost the manage
ment about $1500, and it will be done by a
staff of 20 expert stage mechanics. Thls
scene has been received everywhere as
the acme of stage craft.
Manager Edward G. Cooke, the general
representative of Klaw & Erlanger, was
seen at the Portland Hotel last night, and
ho said: "Aside from the religious im
presslveness of the play, the performance
offers many novelties In the way of me
chanical effects. There Is the Roman tri
reme at sea, showing the rescue of Ben
Hur, and the great chariot race in tho
fifth act, when eight horses take part.
Our new stage device wonderfully im
proves the realistic effect. Now the
horses gallop, the chariots rumble and
... ' . - ' ,
roll, the walls of the arena with its crowds
of spectators whirl by, and the ground
or stage seems fairly to fly from beneath
the horses' feet and the great wheels of
the chariots. This scene has cost our
firm up to now about $13,500.
"At the end of the San Francisco en
gagement tho paraphernalia will be
brought to this city on two special trains,
one made up of ten 60-foot baggage cars
for the scenery, and two stock cars for
the horses and camels used In the spec
tacle, tho other train for the company
being composed of ten Pullman sleepers,
two day coaches and two dining cars. This
enormous equipment will give the gen
eral public of this vicinity an Idea of the
magnitude of 'Ben Hur.' The Portland
public will witness in 'Ben Hur the big
gest indoor entertainment ever staged.
Four years have elapsed since It was orig
inally produced In New York City.
"Klaw & Erlanger could have sent the
pece here sooner, only they would never
countenance organizing a second com
pany for Its interpretation. "With only
one or two slight changes In the cast, the
company Is the same that has been pre
senting the play since Its original produc
tion. This will contribute largely to In
cite keener interest In the spectacle. For
the engagement in this city special ex
cursions are to be run from the surround
ing towns. All the railroads are to make
reduced rates and the local management
will give Special attention to all out-of-town
mall orders for scats, filling same
after the regular sale opens."
AEEESTED AFTER LONG CHASE
Suspect Is Alleged to Have Robbed
Railroad of Thousands.
NEW YORK, Nov. 7. Canadian detec
tives, after a long chase, have arrested
Frank Frappler in Brooklyn on a war
rant charging him with "the theft of $40
from the Canadian Pacific Railroad. The
detectives say that this charge is techni
cal and allege that the prisoner robbed
the company of many thousands of dollars
by means of "dummy" payrolls and a
check system which he devised for pay
ing employes at distant points on the line
while he was employed as a section fore
man. Frappler said he would fight extradi
tion. He was traced by the detectives
through his wife, who led the men a chase
all over the New England states. Finally
by a most circuitous route she entered a
boarding-house in Brooklyn. At thevdoor
the husband met her. A few minutes
later he was under arrest. Besides being
In the employ of the Canadian Pacific,
Frappler owned a large hotel In Montreal,
and was considered to be quite wealthy.
He was arrested three months ago but
fled. When his wife sold the hotel and
prepared to leave she was followed. The
detectives say they had great difficulty In
keeping trace of her movements, but were
only a few minutes behind at tho end,
after a chase of hundreds of miles and
leading through a dozen large cities.
Feud Results in Murder.
OGDEN, Utah, Nov. 7. John Coffin,
aged 25, was stabbed and Instantly killed
last night at Huntsvllle, 15 miles east of
this city, by Chris Peterson, a young man
of the same age. Two weeks ago Coffin
was arrested on a charge of embezzlement
by Sylvester Crow, father-in-law of Peter
son. At the trial Coffin was discharged,
as the accusation -was found to be base
less. There has been Ill-feeling since,
ending in a quarrel and fight last night,
during which Peterson seized a knife and
stabbed Coffin. Peterson was arrested and
brought to the county Jail at Ogden this
morning.
Found Guilty orManslaughter.
LARAMIE, Wyo., Nov. 7. Frank Keefe,
the Rawlins merchant who shot and
killed Policeman John Baxter and Lieu
tenant Thomas King, several months ago,
has been found guilty of manslaughter.
His attorney filed a motion for a new
trial and was allowed ten days in which
to prepare the brief.
:0IDS SHERIFF AT FAULT.
Army Officer Reports on the Recent
Trouble In Wyoming.
WASHINGTON, Nov. Y. In response to
the request of the department for a re
port regarding the recent Indian troubles
in Wyoming, General Kobbe, command
ing the Department of Dakota, today for
warded a dispatch from Major B. H.
Cheever, Sixth Cavalry, at Pine Ridge, In
which he says the trouble was mostly the
Sheriff's fault, and that the Indian pris
oners at Newcastle should be released. He
said It is believed that the Sheriff's party
fired the first shot, but statements are
conflicting. The War Department Estates
tho situation does not require the serv-"
ice of troops.
Indian Agent Brennan telegraphed to
day that the preliminary . hearing of the
arrested Indians has been set for Novem
ber 3 at Douglas, Wyo. Brennan has been
directed to attend with an Interpreter.
The order directing tho agents' attend
ance Is at tho request of the United
States District Attorney for Wyoming,
who says he also will be present. Mr.
Brennan reports that evervthlnK Is oulet
I at the s Pine Ridge Agency, and nearly
au ine cmeis ana neaa men of the In
dians there are satisfied to let the law
take its course.
Major Reeves reports that 10 bucks
a"re held in arrest at Newcastle, and the
rest of tho party are en route to the
reservation. Twenty-one bucks and their
families were given passes about October
2, for 20 days.
Fair Trial Assured.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., Nov. 7. Governor
Chatterton leaves Monday for Douglas,
where he will personally investigate the
condition of the Indians under arrest on
the charge of killing Sheriff Miller. He
has written a letter to Secretary of the
Interior Hitchcock, advising him of the
true circumstances of the killing, and
assuring the department of a fair trial

Against Lawyer Lamb.
NEW YORK, Nov. 7. A petition ha3
been laid before the Appellate Division pf
the. Supreme Court by the Bar Associa
tion, accusing Attorney George Alfred
Lamb, of this city, who represented Peter
Power in the suit to prevent the merger
of tho Great Northern and Northern Pa
cific Railroads, of fraud, deceit, malprac
tice and gross unprofessional conduct.
Proceedings were begun to disbar him.
The Northern Pacific Railroad brought

Court, and that he declared under oath
that he had held In his own possession 100
shares of stock which Power claimed to
own, but which really belonged to Camilla
Weldenfeld, a stock broker, who hasbeen
suspended from the Exchange in connec-
tion with the suit.
When the charges were originally made
Lamb refused to answer them, denying
that he was guilty of any wrong, and say- !
lng that it tho dignity of the Federal
Court had been offended as charged, that
i court aione couiu iuko uuiciui uouce or.

PRINCIPAL CAUSE OF CEIME.
New York Justice Says Children Are
Not Given Spending Money.
NEW YORK, Nov. 7. In a statement
covering the first year's work here of
the new court for Juvenile offenders Jus
tice Julius M. Mayer, of the Court of Spe
cial Sessions, asserts that, the failure of
parents to supply their children with
spending money Is one of the principal
causes of crime among the boys and girls
of New York City. Lack of knowledge
of the first principles of practical civics,
he said, is another reason found for inno
cent offenses of mischievous children.
"In many cases," the Justice declares,
"the parents are respectable, hard-working
people. The children have good school
records, but the difficulty Is they have no
money to spend so that their desire to
have what other children have candy and
tho like cannot be gratified. , It may
seem a little thing, but I firmly believe

In our issue of October 30, we made mention of a mw kind of Drag Saw Machine being
seems to have found a good many interested, judging from the number of letters that have
have had our artist photograph the machine and reproduce same, in the above half-tone-cut.
AETIOLE
MACHINE INVENTED TO CUT CORDWOOD. A gasoline engine and
apparatus for operaUng a drag saw or cross-cut saw, to be used
In cutting trees Into cordvidod length, has been Invented by
the proprietor of a machine works In this city, which may
have the effect of reducing the price of wood slightly. There have been
machines of this kind invented before, but none of them have proved a
success. The new Invention Is mounted on a sort of sled and works
like a charm. It cuts a 39-Inch log In two In less than three minutes,
and cuts a chunk off a seven-foot log In less than an hour, which
would take two men with a saw two or three hours to accomplish. The
machine moves Itself from cut to cut by its own power in 15 seconds.
The trial tests of the machine were so successful that orders are pour
ing In for them and men are struggling to see who shall be supplied first.
When there arc enough of the machines in operation to cut up trees
enough 'to supply tho Portland market witii wood, it,ls to be hoped the
cost of wood may be lessened.

COST OF WOOD

The object of the machine Is to saw logs into 4-foot or other lengths
for cord and firewood.
The motive power Is a 3-horsepower Stover gasoline engine. It Is
mounted on a platform built like a sled; on one end Is a drum; a steel
wire cable is fastened to this drum, one end of the cable Is carried out
ahead of the machine and attached to a stunjp or tree; the other end
is carried back under tho sled and attached In like manner. By means
of the drum, connected to the gasoline engine with reverse gear, machine
can bo moved forward or backward along the log at will.
The drum and cable also serve to move the machine from one log to
another. The saw has a rocking motion, which makes It clear the cut
of sawdust on both the push and pull stroke. Roller fenders hold the
machine at proper distance from the log, and dogs fasten It securely
while making a cut. The capacity Is said to be about 50 cords of 4-foot
wood per day. Taken altogether, It Is a very complete machine, and
no doubt do all that is expected of it. The first machine put out cut
through a log 39 Inches in diameter in two minutes and 58 seconds,
and in 14 seconds more had moved to the next cut and begun sawing.
It also cut a 6-foot log In two In 12 minutes. This was a very pitchy
, log and a good clean log, free from pitch, could undoubtedly be cut
In half the time. The machine above shown is much improved over the
first, and should even make a better record. It was shipped yesterday
to Barlow, Oregon, where it will be put to work sawing 2-foot wood for
the S. P. R. R. Co.'s locomotives.
The inventors and manufacturers of this machine are Mitchell, Lewis
& Staver Co , First and Taylor streets, this city, and they say they
already have a great many orders for machines.
