The oil tank steamer Whittier
arrived yesterday from San Fran
eisco. - She brought 7000 barrels of
listillate, 3000 gallons of crude oil.
25 tons of asphultum and one drum
of distillate.
The bark llesper and schooner
W. II. Talbott were towed up the
river yesterday morning. The 1 les
per is to load at Portland, and not
at the Hume mill, as was stated in
these columns.
The Aurelia left up the iver yes
terday for Portland. She had 1,
357 packages of merchandise for
Astoria, and for Portland 275 tons
of cement and 2031 packages of
freight. When she arrived Thurs
day evening her master was noti
fied that he would le compelled to
pay the union overtime scale of 75
cents to longshoremen for unload
ing the local freight, so ho waited
until morning to begin the work,
thereby availing himself of the
straight scale, 50 cents.
The Alaska cannery fleet will
doubtless get to sea today, the time
originally fixed for sailing. The
C. F. Sargent and Berlin have been
in the lower harbor for 36 hours,
but did not get out. All of the men
have been signed on, cargoes loaded
and at the convenience of the tugs!'
the fleet will depart.
The three vessels will carry north
betwween 450 and 500 men. The
human cargoes consist of fishermen
and cannery workers. This season
all of the Alaska canneries will
be on an equal footing, the local
union having consented to the San
Francisco arrangement with the
packers. The Alaska Packers' As
sociation .will therefore enjoy no
advantage over the Astoria and
Portland concerns.
Yesterday the manifest of the
bark Harry Morse was filed at the
customs house. The Morse was the
last of the vessels to clear. The
cargoes are listed as being of the fol
lowing values :
Harry Morse .
Berlin
F. Sargent.
Total
....$ 40,620 90
.... 59,801) 36
.... 62,781 56
....$163,211 82
The entire cargoes of the Berlin
and the Morse were taken on at
storia, while a portion of the Sar
gent's cargo was loaded here. The
fleet disbursed a large, sum among
oeal merchants, and the purchase;
of the men going north amounted
to considerable more. The North
Star and North King, cannery tend
ers,are yet to.le heard from, but
probably will not get away today.
All of the Alaskan vessels take
umber. The Sargent has on board
90,000 feet, the Harry Morse 109,-
879 feet and the Berlin 25,731 feet.
lach of the ships takes about 300
tons of coal. The manifests are
ong ones and show that the men
going north will be well cared for
the matter of provisions .

PORTLAND 0RE00N
San Francisco. April 15. The
Alaska Commercial and other pack
ing and fishing companies have been
losers to the extent o? several thous
and dollars by the escaping of 150
Chinese engaged to go to Alaska
for the fishing season. Each of the
escaped men was paid from $50 to
$150 advance money to engage
him gor the season.
Chin Jim, of the Chinese Edu
cational Society, who does most of
the advance business for the Alas
ka companies, has posted signs bear
ing offers of reward aggregating
$3,000. Chin Jin hus engaged sev
eral hundred Chinese to go to Alas
ka for the coming season. The
Chinese have not applied to the lo
cal police for aid. The six compan
ies have taken up the matter and
they have sent out their retainers
to round up the runaway fishermen.
Lumber Exports Improving.
The indications are that April
will make a very favorable show
ing in the matter of lumber ship
ments. March fell down badly, but
the present month has been a live
ly one for the lumber dealers. Yes
terday's clearances aggregated
more than a million and a half feet
as follows:
Mable Gale 850,000
W. F. Witzemann 480,000
Harry Morse 109,879
Destruction of Bridge Across Liao River
Delays Arrival of Train.
New York, April 15. The train
from Tort Arthur did not arrive
here yesterday, says a Herald dis
patch from Yin Kow, under date
of Thursday. The stoppage of
traffic is due to the destruction of a
bridge.
Yin Kow is the port of Niu
Chwang and the severance of the
Port Arthur railroad would be sig
nificant. As the Manchurian rai
road enters the Liao Tung Benin
sula there is an important bridge
over the Liao river. There are nuin
erous other bridges and culverts
over the line running down to Dal
ny and Port Arthur. In some places
the line runs close to the shore
where the Japanese might easily
land parties or injure the line with
long distance firing.
