While the tug Vosburg Is at Port land being repaired, the freight and passenger rates from Astoria and Portland to Tillamook have been re stored. It has been intimated that there has been settlement of the pres ent war between the two rival eom panics, but this Is pronounced absoi lutely without foundation. The war will continue Just as long as there Is demoralizing opposition to the Elmore line. Samuel Elmore was asked yesterday whether or not the two companies had come to an understanding. Mr. El more said: "No, sir; we have had no under standing of any kind. When my line went Into the war It knew what It was doing. Rates had been cut, and we i burglar, merely reduced them still fur.ther in an effort to make matters so unprofit able for the opposition that it would be forced out of business or else to restore rates. At present the steamer Elmore Is the only vessel on the Tilla mook run. So long as she is without demoralizing competition, rates will remain at the former figure 13.50 for passengers and 5 per ton for freight These rates are reasonable, everything considered. If the Vosburg returns to the run we will again reduce rates to the figure made some days ago. There has been no settlement, nor Is any likely. We want the Tillamook busi ness and expect to continue to get it." The Vosburg was damaged slightly In the collision with the Elmore at Tillamook last week, and at Portland is now undergoing repairs. It has been said the company operating her is tir ing of the war, but it is expected the tug will return to the run. Scamp Pursued By Two Men But He Escaped Them. Kerkeley. April SO. The burglar who has been entering stores in the center of Berkeley's business district 'the past month and carrying off goods by the wagon load, was discovered at work last night In the rear of Needhum Bros.' store on Shattuck avenue. Nlghtwnch man George Thompson, Paul Needham and A. Purcells, a drug clerk, all armed, engaged In the chase of the burglar, but were unable to overtake him. Shortly before midnight last night Paul Needham was returning from an entertainment and happened to be passing the store. As Needham has been robbed several times before he was prompted to go into his place of busi ness and see If everything, was all right. He no sooner go to the rear of the store than he discovered a man at work prying open the back window, knowing that It would be difficult for STAPLE AND FANCY GROCERIES Flour, Feed, Provisions, Tobacco and Cigars.

The French bark Marechal de Koallles arrived In port late yesterday afternoon from Hamburg. She brings a general cargo, but did not get In last evening in time to file her manifest at the customs house. Captain Howes piloted the vessel Into the harbor. The bark has had rather a long passage and on the way stopped at Valparaiso, where Captln Annette ws placed ashore for medical treatment. The bark pro ceeded to Astoria In charge of the first officer, and another master was sent out from France to take charge of her here. the robber to get out through the front of the store from behind. Needham left his wife on guard while he started on a search for Nlghtwitchman Thomp son, Intending that she should give the alarm If the fellow took flight. Meanwhile A. Purcells. a clerk In Bowman's drug store, the rear of which opens on to Needham's back door, was awakened by the operations of the who kept on with his work, not knowing that he had been dis covered. Purcells came out with his gun. Intent on taking a shot at the housebreaker, hut he could not get near enough before his presence was dis covered by the burglar, who took to his heels, despite the shouts to halt Thompson and Needham then came up and all three started In pursuit, but soon all trace of the man they were after had disappeared. . The robber, who was surprised at his work last night. Is believed to be the same one who has succeeded In rob bing the drygoods store of U Huff on Shattuck avenue and the Jewflery store of A. Gentry in West Berkeley. The attempted burglary of Putzkex's bicycle store last week Is also credited to him. He was surprised at that job also and on that occasion Nlghtwatchman Thompson sent a bullet from his re volver singing after him as he fled, but his aim was faulty and the desper ate fellow escaped.

State's Attorney Surprises Court By Talking to pmpty fjnir, Chicago, April 20. Cornelius Van Zand wick's shest witij a witness today! in Judga ChysU-aUs' court. Vilii Zandwlck was murdered several months ago in Harvey. He was a porter in the saloon of George Free man, and the latter Is on trial for the crime. Van Zandwlck did not appear at the saloon one day, and It Is alleged that Freeman became enraged over this fact, and, going to Van Zandwlck's houxe. shot him through the heart. Assistant State's Attorney Harbour, in his closing argument In the trial this morning .suddenly surprised everybody In the court room by announcing that he would call the dead man from his grave to testify. Thereupon, the ghost of Van Zand wlck came into court. Of course, no body saw the spook, but to all Intents and purposes, he was there. "This way, please," suld Mr. Bur- hnnr. nolntlnsr h a rorenwrer at ine spot where the Invisible spirit was sup posed to sit. The Jurors looked at the empty chair as intently as If they really saw the shade of Van Zandwlck. Freeman, the defendant, gazed in apparent fascina tion at the spot. The spectators grew uneasy. "Look at his wounds, gentlemen," continued the prosecutor. "See where the bullet pierced his heart" In dramatic manner Mr. Babour pro ceeded " to ask the ghost questions, pausing after each query for an an swer. These periods of silence, during which the apparition was supposed to be replying, were marked by Intense, minnressed excitement In the court room. At last, having finished the examina tion of the ghost, Mr. Barbour said: "You may go back now to the grave." The ghost of Van Zandwlck stalked out; while the widow and children wept.
