Jan. 2& Captain Willis Snow, who was the pilot In charge of the ill-fated steamship Geo. W. Elder when she piled up on the rocks this side of Goble, Saturday night, made his report of the accident to United States Inspectors Edwards and Fuller today, and the government officials have be gun an investigation. A number of witnesses will be called before the In spectors, and the depositions of others who were forced to leave for San Francisco are also to be Introduced. The underwriters have not yet ac cepted the abandonment of the Elder. A meeting of the insurance men, offi cials of the company and others inter ested was held yesterday afternoon, and it was decided that Archibald Mac Farlane of the London Salvage Asso ciation, make a personal examination of the ship's bottom. Three divert. nave been employed to labor four hours each day, and these men will aid in bringing the cargo up from the hold until enough has been removed to per mit of a view being had of the spot where the rock is thought to be pro jecting through t'a,i Elder's hull , Mr. Mac Farlane will don a diver's suit and go to the bottom, and after he has viewed the damage It will be determ lned what shall be done with the wreck. The steamer Sarah Dixon arrived up last night from the scene, laden with all the equipment, including bedding, tableware, llfepreservers, lanterns, and in fact all of the Small movables about the ship. All that remains are some stationary fitting and the lifeboats. The property was discharged at Ash street dock to be stored. ' number of lines each week adds to the amount of business ahead of the mills, all are significant factors In the pres ent situation. The buying of Bessemer pig iron by two steel companies, was the main development In that market In the past week. Some of the iron came from speculators, and some from the yard of the steel company that ha carried a considerable stock of Iron. This business was all at the equivalent of 115.50 at Valley furnaces, though the Associated Merchant furnaces of the valley are all holding for $11 "As the review Is written the re port comes that the steel corporation is in the market for 75,000 tons of Bes semer iron, February. March and April delivery and that further purchase will be made by the Lackawanna Steel Company." LEAD ONES TALK. , Marine Notes. London Is quoting war risks at S2H per cent today, while San Francisco was quoting at it per cent yesterday. The capture of fo-sr steamers en route to Vladivostok is attributed as the rea son for the advance. - In commenting on the success of the Risdon Iron works in securing the con tract for repairs to the Columbia river bar bredge Chinook, the New Tork Nautical Gaxette erroneously states the 'digger" sustained damage while at work on the bar. Her repairs are largely work that should have been done before she was sent north. Columbia river pilots have renewed the agitation for the digging of a new channel on the outside of the island at Coble, where) the steamfer Go. W, Elder now lies a wreck. Last season the cicerones wanted the road dug so that it would pass to the east of the island and give them a straight run to a point below Oobie, but through some reason, probably because of the , limited appropriation, the work was not performed. Steam was generated fr the first time yesterday In the boiler of the new steamer Arago, building for the Unit ed States engineer department. The contractors, the Willamette Iron & Steel Works, are installing the ma chinery at the Willamette Boiler Works. The builder's trial trip will et held in a few days, and the official run Is scheduled for the coming week. The Arago Is a ti !.m-appearlng craft, now that she has her house on, and when the finishing touches are applied she will be one of the neatest vessels on the stream, besides being exception ally strong. The four-master Mahukona, which was so close to shipwreck on the bar yesterday morning reached this city in tow of the Tatoosh little the worse for her experience. , The schooner will go to the dock at Portland before load ing out with lumber for San Pedro. The bar was rough yesterday, and nothing passed In. There was no craft outside at dark. The steamer Francis Leggltt arrived Bryan and Parker Come Back from the Grave. New Tork. Jan. 28. A political con. ference lasting three hours has been held here between William J. Bryan and Alton B. Parker. The meeting is statea to have been arranged by Nr- man E. Mack of Buffalo, a memb-r ot the democratic national committer It la stated by the Herald that Mr. Bryan made his views quite plain and expressed the belief that the west and south must have the dominant voice In the management of the democratic r.v. tlonal Interests. He predicted that within a few years there will be great Internal changes in both party organ izations and men who now call them selves democrats will come out openly as republicans while professed repub licans will declare themselves demo crats; that the new strength for the democratic party will come from the western, while the rew republicans will appear in the eastern states and thai the "trust question" will overshadow everything else in the next campaign. There was no discussion of any finan cial question. Firemen Suffer Severely While Re ponding to Twenty-Nine Alarm During th Day Little Bui net Was Transacted. New Tork, Jan. :.
