FRIDAY, NOVIM1IR 16, fBOf, THE MORNING ASTORIAN, ASTORIA, OREGON. ft ..n .i n. i .ii.ii...- -I. - : i WATERFRONT ITEMS Columbia River Channels Dange rous With Drift Logs. HUMANTIA DUE IN ANY HOUR Columbia Outside th Bar Homeward Bound Arrivaa Down Poulsan at ' Anchor Here Columbine Buiy Odd and Endt of Newt. The O. R. N. steamer Hassalo did not reach thla city until nearly noon yesterday, owing to the fact of the swarming timber all over the rivers, from Portland to Cathlamet Tht breaking of the huge Cowllts boom turned thousands of logs loose on the channels, and made night running a sheer menace. She tied up at Cath lamet and waited for daylight before coming on. The Lurllne remained ovcp at this port all night on the same ac count, and went up yesterday morn ing, the Hassalo leaving up late In the afternoon. The Undine came down on the Lurllne's day-run yesterday and went up at a late hour last night. Several million feet are adrift. Captain Tom Crang of the river pi lot service, came down with the oil barge Fullerton on the towllnes of the steamer M. F. Henderson yester day, dropping the tow at Harring ton's Point. A tug will go after her this morning and she will be towed to sea to meet the steamer Argyle, which will tow her on to San Francisco. The steamer joharl Pouisen arrived down from Pdrtland early yesterday morning and was anchored In the city channel all day long. She will get away today If possible. The China liner Numantla Is due in this morning, having been off the bar awaiting a favorable chance to cross In all of yesterday. Captain Archie Pease Is in the city waiting to pilot her to the metropolis. The French bark Empereur Mene 11k has not yet been moved to the easterly end of the O. R. & N. pier. The attempt was made, hut in the gale of Wednesday her stern-lines parted and she was, with difficulty held into the dock at alL The lighthouse tender Columbine has plenty of work cut out for her in the near future, taking out buoys and supplies to the various stations af ter the fierce gales that have pre vailed. She is loading buoys today at the government depot at Tongue Tongue Point Up to noon yesterday nothing had been seen nor reported of the steam ship Columbia, presumably due in this porit yetferdjayj The! conclusion a the O. R. & N. office and In shipping circles Is that she was held far one day to permit the arrival of the Bar racouta in San Francisco, the slowest thing of her tonnage under steam on the Pacific const, and that she will come in today some tlnio (Later: The Columbia arrived oft the bar at 4 p. m. and will come In this morning.) The wreck of the Galena Is as much a matter of Interest as was her un fortunate sister, the Peter Iredale; people are swarming to the bench to see her and thousands will yet go down there. General Manager Q. W. Tal bot, Superintendent McGulre, G. C. Fulton and G. H. Geotge, went down yesterday morning on nn A. C. spe cial to view the stranded ship. The American bark Homeward Bound has arrived down the river as far as Harrington's Point, on the Ok lahoma, and will probably be towed from there to sea when her time come for departure. First Officer W. C. Joltff. of the Umatilla Reef lightship No. 6T. Is in the city on a month's leave of ab sence. He came down on the Colum bine when she brought down No 7. There was a lumpy bit of sea on the bay yesterday morning, kicked UD by the stilt nor'west wind. The steamer Volga left out for Chinook on her usual schedule, but had to aban don the trip at the head of Desde nwma Sands, and return to her berth. That no Insurance is carried on the British ship Galena will Inspire her owners and officers to save every ves tige of detachable stuff on board her, and Captain Howell and a number of the men have already begun dismant ling her and will to Into camp on the beach beside her during the pro gress of their work. There Is the. Usual talk about hauling her Into deep water again, but this Is one of the problems time alone can solve. It is reported the dredger W. S. Ladd will go out of commission for a season, owing to injuries received while working up the river, near Slaughters', being badly hammered by floating logs, which snapped her anchor-chains and rendered her suc tions useless.

Nov. 15. One of the gravest questions ever presented to an American Congress Is likely to come before that body at the ap proaching session. It Is said that some of the CulKornla delegation will present and urge Its passage, a bill excluding the Japanese from thla country, as the Chinese are now ex cluded. Such a measure would meet with the hearty approval of organised labor In all sections of the country and organized Inbor Is a powerful element In American politics. The question of excluding the Japs Is one much graver than was that of excluding the Chi nese, because the Japs are a fur more progressive and aggressive peoplo than their neighbors, and nn attempt to exclude them will be almost cer tain to result In a rupture that may lead to war. This state Is nroused, and the peo pk here have practically declared they will not have the Japs, and If they will not, It Is hard to see how they can be compelled to receive them. Altogether the situation Is one of the greatest gravity, and It will call for all the wisdom and diplomacy Con gress and the President can command. The mere agitation of their exclusion will arouse the Jnpnnese to the ut most. That country has Just emerged from a war, the greatest of modern times, and they emerged victorious, displaying a martial spirit and skill that amazed the world. They are a fighting people, having their first taste of being a "world power.' ana have grown very touchy of their dignity. The United States Is seeking to ex tend its trade, and a rupture with Japan, even If not followed by war, would prove commercially disastrous to us. Great as we are, rich as we are, It Is admitted, with shame, that we are In no condition to go to war with any country having an aggressive navy. All these things combine to add to the gravity of this question, that will be forced upon Congress. Perhaps a majority of our people would be glad to be rid of the Philippines, but not one would like to see them lost as the result of a war. A war Just now would materially Interfere with the building of the Isthmian canal, and overturn numerous projects for ex tending our foreign commerce The people on this coast. In their anxiety to keep out the Orientals, will take little thought of anything but their own desires. With the other Important legisla tion that will come before It the clos ing session of the fifty-ninth congress promises to be a very exciting one but with the Japanese exclusion ques tion added to the others, It will be the most Important short session for many years.

In Time of Peace. In the first months of the Russia Japan war we had a striking example of the necessity for preparation and the early advantage of those who, so to speak, "have shingled their roofs In dry weather." The virtue of prepara tion has made history and given to us our greatest men. The individual as well as the nation should be pre pared for any emergency.

Fiv of New York's Qreat.it Hostel- rie Now Own.d by the Alton. NKW YORK. Nov. 15. With the opening of the new Knickerbocker, New York has wgkrd up to the exist ence nt an Astor family "hotel trust." Heglnnlng with the Astor House, the Astors have successively put up the Waldorf-Astoria, the Hotel Astor. and the St. Regis, and now the Knicker bocker Is added to the list of Astor built hotere, "providing exclusive ness for the musses." Rising fifteen stories high, the Knickerbocker with a frontage of I H(J feet on Forty-second street and 102 feet on Broadway, Is a conspicuous monument In the. very center fit New York's liveliest district. Although millions have been spent on the In terior decorations and furnishings, Colonel John Jacob Astor's architects and builders did not stO at outer appearances. To nmke the ten hundred guests that the Knickerbocker can accommo date, fee that they are securely as well as luxuriously houseil, the fire- proofing of the new hotel was made one of the principal features, Tho Idea has 1 u so completely carried out that should a blaze break out In any room, It woutil simply burn up the Inflammable material there and then die out. The floors and partitions of hollow-tile form bulwarks through which fire and smoke cannot pass. Tho steel frame work Is encased In terra cotta to prevent warping from fire or sudden collapse from the effects of corrosion. In fact, the perfection of the steel mid hollow-tile construction makes the whole building so nenrly unburn nhlo that there Is no danger of a guest waking up to find that his only choice lies between being roasted nllvo or a leap from the fourteenth or fifteenth story.
