Enable Examiner to See the
HoleMarine Notdjt. -
Portland. 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.
