CRAFT MAY BE FLOATED Schooner Loes Rodder, but Is Rest ing Km?J and Not Badly Leak ing Life-Savins; Crew of fmpqua Reaches Scene. FLORENCE. Or, April IS. (Special.) The gasoline Schooner Anvil from Bandon. which ran asround hero late Friday afternoon inside the mouth of Sluslaw River, lost her rudder and la r.lw lying on tha north apit about 00 yards below the end of the Jetty. The boat la hlah and dry at low water and I eloaa to the place where the Ber wick waa wrecKed aome year ago. The L'mpqua LltesaVing crew arrived this morninc and put an anchor out from the boat toward the river channel. The 'cargo Is being; taken off and efforts will be made to float the vessel at blah tide. Tbe Anvil I resting easy on the sand and not leaking much. The passengers left the boat last night. Captain Snyder hopes to save her with the tugs. Phe carried only a few besides the regular crew aboard, as she does not carry passengers regularly now. Most of her cargo waa merchandise from Portland, the vessel not having stopped here en route south. The Anvil en route south encountered a severe storm and put Into Coos Bay last week for shelter. She lert Banoon Wednesday for thia port. Owners of the Anvil say that she had no passengers, as they have not carried them since early in the Winter, owing to the frequency with which vessels were barbound at outside har bors. The tug Robart was ordered out. while Porter Bros, owning the tug Roscoe. later sent her from Yaquina to assist the Anvil. "I do not think there is much dsnger for the men. ss the vessel is strong and her position Is reported to ns as favorable for getting her off the spit," said Captain L. Veysey. one of her owners, last evening. "Kverythlng Is being done that is possible. I started for the scene, but on reaching Eugene was Informed that I could not make the trip to the Coast without considerable delay, so returned." During all of yesterday numerous inquiries were received at Albera dock, where the Anvil berths, from relatives of men aboard and considerable anxiety waa displayed, but as there had been no loss of life fears were quieten. OCEAX VESSELS ARE TARGET Authorities Prescribe Number of Mates and Honrs of Work. Changes ordered by the Department of Commerce, through tha steamboat Inspection service, relative to licensed officers to be carried by vessels of the ocean-going merchant fleet, will affect a few carriers in this district, but in the main the Columbia River fleet la manned in conformity with tha require ments. The regulations are amend ments to section 443, revised statutes. The new law concerns all deep-sea vessels propelled by machinery and in addition to requiring a licensed maater those of 1000 gross tons are required to carry two mates and vessels of 100 tons ahd under 200 tons one mate, but in the latter case two mates are neces sary when vessels are more than 14 hours on the way from port of depar ture to destination. It Is also made unlawful for tha H.'tr. maater or agent of a vessel to perm, an officer to assume charge of tha watch on sailing vessels un less luch officer shall have had at least six hours off duty within 1! hours Immediately preceding tha time of de parture, and no licensed officer shall be required to do duty longer than nine hours of any 14 hours while in port or more than 12 hours in 14 hours at sea. except in case of emergency. JAPAN TAKES MORE WHEAT Estimates or Cereal Available for Export Not Accurate. Suzuki & Co, Japanese importers, who have purchased several wheat car. goes at Portland, have listed the Japa nese steamer Rangoon Mara to load here. Her last voyage was from Bom bay to Hiogo. she having sailed from the former port February IS. The Ruasian ship Endymlon has alao been listed, but tor new crop wheat, and she Is on the way In ballast from Callao. The British bark Arracan, which sailed last week from Caldera. South America, for Portland, has been added to the fleet of M. 1L Uouaer and is said to have been chartered at 42a d. The export wheat situation Is reported to be In such shape that no estimates are being hazarded as to the probable amount that will be carried over, if any. The amount on hand that might be diverted to foreign account is said to be from 1.000.000 to J.000.000 bushels up and from tha tonnage In sight for old crop not mora than 1.000.000 bushels will be floated from Portland before July 1. which includea estimates for United Kingdom and Oriental business. BEATER IS LIKE NEW SHIP Large Passenger List on First Voy age for Several Weeks. In appearance alone tha stesmer Beaver should rightly be called flag ship of the "Big Three" line, for on her return to port yesterday, after an absence of several weeks, she looked aa If aha had Just been completed, for there was a refreshing newness from stem to stern. One thing that adds to the general aspect la that her cabin. Inside aa well as out. hae been covered with a coat of glossy white paint. In the way of painting nothing has been overlooked, for even to her hold the brush-wielders have gone, and her trucks have been recovered. About S50 passengers made the Jour nry from San Francisco, and she had a fair cargo. Captain Mason la again in tha midst of his old crew. As the steamer Kansas City baa been ordered out of service and will be given her annual Inspection, Henry rape, maater mechanic for the fleet, remained at San Francisco and will return next month. .MIMI IXQCIRY TCKSDAY live of Bark's Crew to Testify Be fore German Consul.

From Astoria cornea news that the tug Geo. R. Vosburg has towed the barge Nehalcm to Stella for a load of piling, and that six voyages will be made with that material and cement to Nehalem. where it will be used in the construction of a new plant for the Wheeler Lumber Company. To finish loading the British ship Wray Castle was shifted yesterday from the dock of the West Side Shingle & Lumber Company to the Portland, mill. The steamer Saginaw, arriving from the south yesterday, went to the Mult nomah Box at Lumber Company's plant. The steamer Northland left for Rainier laat evening to load lumber. Men are to be assembled at Fort Stevens Tuesday so that work can be resumed on the south Jetty at the mouth of the Columbia. Wednesday. A large crew is engaged at Fort Can by getting ready for the north Jetty, and in a day or two bids will be advertised for 400,000 tons of rock to be used there, deliveries to start in October. Under orders to proceed here and load cement and gravel for use at the Tongue Point buoy station, the light house tender Heather leit up from Aa toria. yesterday.

BETTER MARKET SEEN FXXAXCIAIi COTITIOXS TO SHOW IMPROVEMENT. Trading in Securities in March Af fected Seriously by Chain of TTnusnal Circumstances. In reviewing the financial situation during March, Spencer Trask Com pany, of New York, In Its advance sheet received yesterday by Wilfred Shore & Company, says: "In retrospect the month from an investment and financial standpoint was a trying one, with declining mar ket values in both bonds and stocks and indications of a world-wide monetary stringency, dependent, from day to day as to severltr, upon the rise or decline of the martial spirit on the part of the great European powers- Friction and tension were apparent in many quar ters, requiring but little in the way of flame to kindle a" serious conflagra tion. The successes of the Bulgar armies, however, and the fall of the city of Adrianople, carsying with it the prospect of peace in the Immediate fu ture in this district, may be expected to be a factor of importance in prevent ing other warlike demonstrations, leav ing -only the necessity for an adjust ment of conditions and territory, and the release of hoarded money, to ef fect a marked reduction of tension throughout the world. "The movement of prices In the local market, both as to bonds and stocks, for virtually the entire month was al most invariably in a downward direc tion. The offerings of securities were heavy and ranged from high-grade, well-seasoned railroad bonds to the newer industrial stocks. The string ency in money undoubtedly brought in its wake the calling of loans and the outpouring of securities, with the. re sult that values as a whole reached a low point comparable only with some of those shown during the panic of 1907. Toward the latter part of the month, however, a moderate reaction in sentiment occurred with more or less general recoveries and a much smaller volume of offerings of securities, for immediate sale. There was as la usual under conditions such as has been re ferred to, a quiet absorption of good bonds at low levels, and to a perhaps less marked amount, some good in vestment buying in the higher grado investment stocks. The trend, how ever. In this direction was not suffi ciently marked to indicate a continu ance of the upward movement, or to provide insurance against another wave of liquidation, but well-informed au thorities seem to be of the opinion that the tide has undoubtedly turned and that while the uncertainty as to the exact extent of the flood damage has yet to be determined, values may be ex pected to recover some of the lost ground." Irish Oppose Enlistments. DUBLIN, April 12. -(Special.) The report of the last weekly meeting of the national council of the Sinn Fein party announces th requests for anti enlisting literature were received from societies and individuals in various partseof the country. The report adds that recruiting for the navy and the army Is being pushed vigorously in Ireland at the present time and that the council will be glad to have help in the "good work" of discharging it.
