America Isr Given the Decision in the
Sealing Controversy Made
Known Today.
.-; THE HAGUE, Nov. 2. PifTsreht from the decision rendered by King Oscar
-' in the Samoan controversy- was; that made publto thin morning, in which Dr.
Aaser, or the International "Board or Arbitration, cava the United State the rul
ing over Russia In the matter at selsure or American calling vessels by Russian
cruisers. The Americans claimed their vessels should be Immune from capture, as
they were not sealing inside the Russian limits. The report ef Asser, who was
made sole judge tn the matter, uphold their claims, although in several instances
the American demands tor compensation are considerably reduced. This question
has been hanging- on (or. number or years and large sums of money must now
be paid by Russia, i'he result will open several sections which have been In dta-
pote tor American skiing' operations.
. The captured vessels are named the Cape Horn, Pigeon, C. H. Whits and
James Hamilton Lewis. The affair opened last June behind closed doors and the
permanent board or arbitration was not sitting at the time. From the judge down
the array of talent was remarkable. Prof. Asser Is a little, old man Of Jewish
birth, and Dutch nationality. He is or Insignificant appearance but or unrivaled
reputation as an International jurist. Those pleading for America were Former
Secretary of (he Legation at St Petersburg Pierce. Advocate Clifford or Boston,
and Cap Baker, a well known seaman of the Pacific Coast, considered to be ex
ceptionally familiar with Bering Sea and the seal fisheries. Proceedings were held
v- in the English and French languages.. The exact Bum awarded is not yet made
. public '
The total of the claim made by the Americans was 1200,000, and these cover
period of five years. The hardship suffered by American crews eaptured by
' Russia and made to labor in the Siberian mines counts a great deal more In the
- claims than the worth of the vessels taken. The ships were seised seven miles off
: the Asiatic coast and the Americans held this -was outside Russian jurisdiction.
Thle claim is supported by the court.
Late today It was announced the James Hamilton Lew la claim gets 128,588.

jurist, who has been arbitrating the claims of -American scalers.

Furthermore, unices his plans change
commissioner Herrman will come out
from Washington soon to attend person

It may be and probably' will be, that
Mr. Hermann-will stand ostensibly as a

Is understepd, remain in that column
long enough to demand reward for
loyalty, and to be In a position to ask for
Fulton support in the event the latter
comes to a field of Waterloo.
Mr. Herrmann has some support that
is for him first, last and all the time.
He has friends who believe that no other

OREGON CITY, Nov. 29-On Monday
morning the polls will be opened at 8
o'clock and voting for candidates for the
city offices will commence. Those voters
belonging In the First Ward will oust
their ballots at the Cataract Fire House;
those in the Second Ward will vote at the
Fountain Fire House, while those of the
Third Ward will vote ut the Hill Com
pany's house,, at the corner of Seventh
and J. y. Adams streets.
The following canAdates are to be
voted for:
Mayor G. B. Dlmlck. J. J. Cooke.
Councilman First Ward K. Koerner,
W. Utile.
Councilman Second Ward-Charles Al
bright, 8. Phelster.
Councilman Third Ward C. M. Mason,
J. H. Howard.
Treasurer Fred Myers.
With the exception of the last named,
who Is the present incumbent, every can
didate will have to right for his office,
ns there can be but one mayor and one
councilman from each ward. There has
been some effort made by outsiders to
make it a straight Democratic against
Republican election, but such is not the
case. Thore are no Issues of consequence
and the parties are not trying to make
any. ttach and every candidate will be
voted for according to his fitness for the
office ha seeks. The man with the most
personal friends will win. To say that
either of the candidates fur the. mayor's
office has a cinch on the votes is a mis
take, as both men realize the strength
of the other, and are working accord
ingly. When seen this morning by The Jour
nal reporter, Mr. Dlmlck had nothing to
nay other than that he Is absolutely cer
tain of election. His reasons for think
ing this, he said, are that the people In
general were absolutely satisfied with
the way the affairs of the city had been
conducted under his administration.
On the other hand, Mr. Cooke, In an In
terview this morning, said that he was
very well satisfied with the support he
would get from the people, who were not
altogether pleased with the present ad
ministration. When asked to explain
why they were not pleased, he answered:
"As to that, I have nothing to say."
"What will you do In regard to the ap
pointment of officers?"
"I wilt appoint the best men I can -""
cure."
"What do you think of the labor vote?"
"The working people are a thinking
people, and I do not think It necessary
for one to perch himself on the house
tops to tell what a good friend he 1s to
them."
"What do you think of yOUr chances
on election day?"
"The people will decide that."
To mention each candidate by giving
his history since coming to Oregon City
is not necessary, as all of them are weil
known.

BAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 2 Jim Hill's
bid of 4 per ton on all freight from Chi
cago to Manila has stirred San Francisco
shipping and -commercial business as
never berore. TheV rocosnlze that this
rate is practically actual cost, but they
also know that Hill can build upon the
industry, seising all trans-Pacific freight
by reason of his government contracts
and the superior racilltlen such contracts
would enable him to establish. There are
many expressions.
1. W. Hellman says: "San Francisco
should endeavor by all means to retain
this business. I know that the govern
ment trade between this port and the
island possessions amounts to many mil
Hons of dollars annually. It would be a
tremendous loss should we lose this great
business, and irwwuld seriously affect the1
commercial business of this city and the
whole state if this trade should be di
verted to Puget Bound.

"I urge the business men. wholesalers
and commission houses to take Immedi
ate action In this matter. If the commer
cial Interests of Ban Francisco are to be
conserved our business men must stir
themselves and meet this great competi
tion of the North. Our Interests must
be guarded and protected by concerted
and effective action."
It Is generally conceded that a large
portion of Ban Francisco's present pros
parity Is due to the very large Increase of
the Island business. The Increase of Im
ports for the year Just linlshed amounts
to 9.31i0,0OO. -r ',

Says That Oregon Has a
Big Chance
Suggests the Establishment of a
Commercial Exhib.t in
His Country.
"Oregon has a great opportunity for
trade In Slam, and should take advantage
of it," said Chowfa Maha Vajlravudh,
Crown Prince of Slam, to The Journal
this morning. "There is much need of
machinery in Slam, yet you do not fur
nish it to us," continued the Prince.
His Royal Highness, Prince Chowfa
Maha Vajlravudh, accompanied by his
suite, arrived this morning in a special
train from 8an Francisco. He leaves this
evening ror Seattle, where a stay of two
hours will be made, then to Vancouver
and Victoria, from which place he will
leave for home on the steamer Empress
or China, on December 2.
The Prince is 23 years or age, 'rather
short and stout, and has a dark oomple
ion. He is a hardened cigarette smoker,,
a good supply of which he always carries
with him. He dresses English fashion
and looks more like a private person than
a "prince or the royal biood." He Is a
pleasant man to talk to and takes time
to think before answering a question.
MEMBERS OF HIS SUITE.
His suite consists or Morn Anuvatra,
private secretary; and Colonel Rajavaol

While traveling In the- United

l8t agent of Pennsylvania Rirflroad, In
charge of the train.
The train- arrived at 2(5e -o'clock this
morning, but did not create much of a
furore. There were a few loungers around
but these did not have their curiosity snt
lsflect as almost every one ori board ex
cept the secret service men, were asleep.
THE RECEPTION COMMITTEE.
At -about 9:30 o'clock, President S. M.
Mears. of the Chamber of Commerce, and
Gen. -Charles F. Boebe, chairman of the

their respects. They were Joined later
by British -Consul . Laldlaw. They were

him that they had come to extend the

standing that they were to be telephoned
ror when the Prince would be at leisure.
Th(-was done early this afternoon, when
the whole party was taken-out In Car

There was a eenerous exchange of
compliments and a fine display of Inter
national friendship between the Prince
and his suite and the reception committee
during the ride, and when the visitors
were returned to their cartf they expressed
themselves -as thoroughly pleased with
the reception tendered thejn.. .
PRINCE CHOWFA TALKS.
Continuing his discourse with The Jour
nal; '. Prince Chowfa said:
"What I would suggest for you to do
to get the trade of 81am Is to -establish
a commercial museum in my country
where you would have a display of your
wares and have a person there to re
ceive orders from our merchants. There
Is some American trade In Slam but the
official records do not show It, because
It d6es ' not come direct, but passes
through English and German hands pur
Import duty Is very low lower than any
other country, I think as it is only about
3 per cent, yet you do not take advan
tage of it.
MACHINERY WANTED.
"Some articles which would find a ready
market In Si am are agricultural, elec
trical and railroad machinery, tools of
all kinds worklngmen's tools, especially
also bicycles, sewing machines, clocks,
and the like. We eoufd alsc ioe much
cotton foods, and yfion't 'twgetj mafhlm
ery for rice mills. Of course, we could
not triNf yottr agrrieiiHura prodety-a no,
doubt you know that Slam " is a great
agricultural country.
"To give you an lnkllng-of what Ameri
can trade' we have, I have but to say
that the volume of the: importing trade
of Bangkok, our chief city. In 1900-01. was
over $34,000,000, of which amQunt only 3
or 4 Per cent was from America. From
these figures you can see what trade
there Is." . -
Being asked whether Slam will exhibit
at the Lewls-and Clark Fair In 1905.
Prlnee Chpwfji answered "
WILL NOT EXHIBIT.
"It is doubtful' whether we Will or
not, because it would nqt 4 .us much
good, as we wish to see your products
and you do not care to see ours.
"I expect to visit' the Bt.Lonls Expo
sltlon," continued the Prince, "therefore

the second reporter that I have given an
Interview to the others" I did not care
to- speak to because the only thing they
wanted to know was. whether, the Ameri
can girls are pretty or not, and auch
Questions." ;
In answer to the query as to what he
thought jof the United States, he an
swered :
"The United States Is a nice country,
and I like It, The scenery Is beautiful,
especially In the West; but It Is not new
to me, as I have traveled all over Europe
and have spent nine years In England,
