PERMIT NO SHORE LEAVE. Admiral Sperry Decides to Run No Risk of Cholera Infection. Manila. Oct. 3. Rear-Admiral Sperry has finally decided not to land any men here and to maintain a prac tical quarantine of the ships during their stay. Admiral Sperry discussed the question with Governor-General Smith this morning, and the above action was determined upon. There are still several new dases of cholera daily, and it was decided that it would be safest and best not to take anv chances of its spreading to the fleet. The officers will be allowed brief shore liberty under close restric tions. Forty steamers and launches, gaily decorated paraded today around the outer lines in which the flcet is an chored. Governor-General Smith and Brigadier-General A. L.

Portland, Oct. 2.Six men killed nhd six injured. That was the toll claimed by a sudden shower of rain which wet the tracks on a steep spur of the Portland & Southwestern Log ging railway, just as a construction train was ncaring the summit of a hill at a point eight miles north and west of Scappoose, early yesterday afternoon. Five men, in charge of the train and crew, were on the locomotive. These escaped. Twelve men were on the one gravel car which was being pushed uphill by the locomotive when the runaway occurred. Not one of these men got away unhurt. They clung to the car as it swept back down the hill and jumped the track at a sharp curve. Three of them were killed outright, two more died while being taken to Scappoose, and an other died after being brought to the Good Samaritan hospital at Portland. None of the unfortunate 12 had seemed really to understand their danger until their car had leaped the track and death and destruction were in their midst. The locomotive went around the curve easily. The car fol lowed, but just as it swung clear the momentum sloughed it aside. The pin which held it to the locomotive snapped and the big engine continued its mad flight on the tracks to the bottom of the grade, where it stopped on an uphill stretch.

Danish Minister of Justice Sold Titles and Decorations. Copenhagen. Oct. 2. Havincr fixed the amount of his actual thefts at from $9,000,000 to $10,000,000, the Danish government is attempting to determine to what extent the default ing former minister of justice, Alberti, profited by the sale of titles and dec orations, in which he is asserted to have done a wholesale business for 14 years. The inquiry promises to be intensely embarrassing to scores of prominent men whose elevation to the aristocracy Alberti. is said to have secured on payment of heavy sums, which he afterward lost, along with his stealings, in unlucky speculation. The skill with which the fallen minis ter covered up these transactions is seriously handicapping the investi gators. lrom Alberti himself they are getting little assistance, the cul prit hav'ng utterly collapsed since his surrender to the police. Physicians say there is no pretense concerning the partial loss of his memory, and it is the general opinion that he will not live to be punished. Failures crowing out of his opera tions continue to be of almost daily occurrence. Of the former minister's thefts about 55,000,000 were from large banks and syndicates, and the balance from private individuals and commercial houses. Former Premier Christensen, who though suspected of no personal dis , . -1 , ,i i . Honesty, aiaeu woeru to raise inuncy through public channels to such an extent that he was forced to resign, has spent entire days under painful cross-examination by the investi gators. Tom Lawson Very Sick. Boston, Mass., Oct. 2. Thomas W. Lawson. author of "Frenzied Fi nance," is seriously ill at his home in this city. His private secretary an nnuncpH vpsterdnv that the financier was suffering from grip, but it is feared the real trouoie is tne res.nu 1 breakdown following his arduous work during the past few years. It was said at his office that he would be coniineu to ins nomc ior several days. It is rumored among the brokers, however, that his condi tion is more serious than is admitted by his family and employes. Japs Watch Maneuvers. Camp Atascadero, Cal., Oct. 2. The presence of several Japanese here watching the maneuvers of the troops has -led to the rumor that they are spies looking ior information as to American military activity. The Jap uiese have been here for several days watching the arrival of the troops and the working of the artillery. Some soldiers declare they have noticed notebooks, in the hands of the Jap anese, but tin's has not been verified Chinese Empror Insane. -Pekin, Oct. 2. -A peculiar mental terangement from which the Chinese moeror is suffering Ins been puz 'ing the attendants at the rnyn' nil ce for some time and yesterday, a consultation' of the most eminent phy--irisns in China was called by the -oress dowager, to discuss the cn' f their royal patient I OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST DYNAMO WRE6KS MILL. Ton-Ton Fly Whool Leaps Hundreds of Feet. Hood River. Failure of the gov erning machinery to work on the big dynamo of the Oregon Lumber com pany at its power plant at Dee caused the electric generator to run away and wreck the plant. Part of the 10-ton flywhc'el which exploded was blown across the river several hun dred feet. The accident put 150 men out of employment. Although many men were employed in the vicinity of the accident, no one was injured, the electrician escaping by being absent from the building. The plant cost the company $50,000 and was the first electric power plant to be used in operating a sawmill on the coast. The accident is a doubly expensive one to the company, as in addition to the loss by damage to the power plant it is expected that the big mill, which was cutting from 150, uoo to 200,000 feet of lumber a day, will have to remain idle a month be fore repairs can be made. Electrical experts have been sent for and everything will be done to push the installation of new machin ery at once. Money for Indians. Klamath Falls. Every man, woman and child on the Klamath Indian res ervation is to receive $50.35 within the next 10 days. This represents the dis tribution, of $52,500 interest now due, and 10 per cent of the principal, of a sum placed to their credit several years ago, paid for lands which be longed to the Indians and which the government appropriated. Part of the money received for the land was set aside for the building of irrigation ditches, purchase of cattle, etc.. and $350,000 'was placed on interest for them at 5 per cent. Seventeen thou sand five hundred dollars interest is now due them and the Indians, in ad dition, asked for 10 per cent of the principal. Frosts Thin Out Crop. Salem. Though the prune crop is light, averaging in different localities from one-half to two-thirds of a crop, all of that which matured will be saved. The quality is good, size large, and growers are much encouraged For what there is of the crop, on ac count of the quality and size, growers will receive more than last year, when prices were considered good. Lon tracts arc being made on a basis of 4 cents, and the average seller will pull out much better than last year. From 3 to 5 cents is being offered for the field run. Beca.usc of the fine weather that has prevailed throughout the val ley during the last three weeks condi tions for drying have never been more favorable.

Tho Hall ranch has been considered, horotoforo, as a pioco of land that was not on a par with tho rest of tho Grand Konde valloy, for tho reason that a part of it was too wot for successful fanning, and a part of it was vory dry.
