Carney j Ice Jam in River Proves Expensive to Anent Recent Portland Convention. . Inland City. George Clark, the redoubtable ac countant, happened Into this office yes terday and betnsr In a reminiscent mood, told the following story on his distinguished Celtic friend, Frank J. Carney, the new president of the Ore gon Grocers and Merchants' Associa tion: Ha says that after the Portland as semblage had signified Its 8d taste and excellent Judgment in naming Mr. Carney for the lofty office and sealed tt with an unanimous vote, a recess was taken and the new president drifted over toward the press table, and was soon buttonholed by a rep resentative of one of the big Port land dallies, who insisted upon having a photograph of Mr. Carney for re production in his columns, and asked him plumply for It At first Mr. Car ney sought to temporize upon the hy pothesis that the whole thing was so entirely unlooked for he could not possibly be expected to have such a thing with him, but the reporter was lnslstant and. suddenly, with bright ening face and twinkling eye, Carney slapped his breast, thrust his hand Into a hidden pocket and actually brought forth three pictures of himself, one Including his old home in Ireland, which he handed to the astounded newspaper man, with an ejaculation of pleasure and surprise, at having happily remembered, on the Instant, that he had them with him. The reporter took the three, selected the best, and handed him the othe-s with the remark that they could not use the home scene In anything short of an extended biography, which might be produced later, but for the time being the photo' he had selected would j answer all purposes, and thanking the j genial president for the favor, and complimenting him upon his up-to- j date readiness In such emergencies, j rushed to his office to get the story ! and the picture in shape for the next j edition. PORTLAND. Jiin. 24. Navigation and other business Interests In t'als city have lost thousands of dollars be cause of the ice blockade In the Co lumbia river. Agents cf the various transportation companies say it Is dif ficult to estimate the losses in dollars and cents. Every day that an Ori ental liner Is tied up represents an actual loss of more than $1,000 to the owners. The Aragonla has been ly ing Idle In the neighborhood of St. Helen's for nearly a week. The Nl comedla of the same Hne will Join her today. For five days the steamer Columbia, operated by the San FrancHco Portland Steamship Company, was held a prisoner In the Ice. In that time she could have completed the run to the Pay City and been half way back to Portland. The Alliance, op erated by the California & Oregon Coast Steamship Company, lost four days in the river. Finally her cargo was discharged at one of the towns on the lower river and she returned down the coast without freight. This represented a loss of fully $4,000 to the owners, according to the local agent of the steamer. The steamer F. A. Kllburn was obliged to return light to San Francisco from Astoria and once more she 1 back in the river, unable to reach Portland. Her owners will be out several thousand dollars by reason of the Ice Jams. 1 The steamer Roanoke, owned and operated by the North Pacific Steam ship Company, has been tied up at St. Helen's sufficiently long to have earned $10,000 had she been running regular ly. That much more Is likely to re main unearned before she reaches Portland and discharges her cargo. WOULD WELCOME KING.

OPEN DAY AND NIGHT jWm.G. PATTERSON, Prop.j NINTH AND ASTOR STREETS. City Officiels Requested Troops Which Were Promptly Withdrawn at the Request of Governor Swctlen-ham. WASHINGTON. Jan. '.'I.- I'tosldelit Roosevelt tonight ivcoUed a message from Atvhblshep Nuitall, chairman of the Kingston Relief t'xuiinltt.v, ton derlng thanks for the prompt vllt f the American squadron. The receipt today of the full text f the Pavl Swettenham correspondence, which did not differ from communications transmitted by the Associated Press last Sunday niKht, caused naval of ficials again to study the situation, to see it Admiral Puvls had in any way transgressed the bounds of pro priety on his visit to Kingston. They not only found a precedent for this landing of men to preserve order, strangely enough, In the case of an other Hritlsh island in the West In dies, but alo saw nothing In the whole affait" to warrant the Utter ad dressed to him by Governor Swetten ham. Secretary Metculf late today gave cut a statement bearing on the subject. In which he says Davis land ed a party of six marines to guard tho archives of the American consulate, and another party of ten to clear away the wreckage. Later on the earnest entreaty of the Colonial Secretary and the Inspector of Police, who spvke for the Governor (tho Governor being ab sent from the city and at King's Mouse, some three miles away), fifty men were lander under arms from the Indiana to overawe the alleged mutiny at the penitentiary containing five or sis hundred prisoners. Admiral Da vis then proceeded to visit the gov ernor at King's House, and was ac companied to the city by the Gov ernor. That same afternoon on the request of the Governor, the men were withdrawn from the shore and re turned to their ships. The secretary then goes on to cite as a precedent the landing of troops at Port of Spain. Trinidad, by Rear Admiral MeaJe, to suppress a fire, and the letter from Governor Broome of the Island of Trinidad, thanking him In behalf of the British government for the action. LONDON, Jan. 24. -The colonial of fice has received telegrams from Gov ernor Swettenham, explaining the In cident involving Rear Admiral Davis, hut not one is of such character that the authorities will make it public. The foreign office says It has had no further communication from Wash ington and that with the receipt of President Roosevelt's telegram, the International side of th. question Is. regarded as settled. It Is not Im probable, however, that when Swet tenham's explanation Is received In full there will be further communica tion with Washington. The Associat ed Press correspondent gained the Im pression at the government offices to day that Swettenham' career is at an end. The colonial office gave out two report sfrom Swettenham on the conditions In Jamaica. He says that up to date 500 bodies have been bur led In addition to a number of re mains that could not be dlstlngul-hed or Identified. The governor estimates that 200 bodies are still in the ruins and that It will probably take a year to remove all debris. WANDER IN COLD. Seven Galicians Leave Stalled Train to Perish on Prarie.
