"The cause of Maniu bay on tbAt mem0rable Bun of increased travel to the eoaat Is due to the fact that a reat many East erners who attended the conventions In the West returned home by way of Portland and took a day or two and visited the summer resorts. Then, too, the beach 1s becoming popular with res identa of the Interior and a great many are forsaking the mountains ror me ocean." The rainy weather this week has had tendency to curtail the traffic to the coast and with the exception of the cot tagers few people tire going to the beaches. R. M. Hall, advertising agent for the Oregon Railroad A Navigation Company, who spent Sunday at Long Beach, said that in spite of the ohllly weather In Portland it was very pleasant at the beach. "It waa so warm Sunday." he said, "that It was comfortable In the shade. There is plenty of good sum mer weather left yet."

Ballroed Hen Disappointed In the Sale of Tickets for the East. There is a look of disappointment on the faces of the local transcontinental ticket agents these days as a result of the special rate sale to Chicago and Missouri river points. Two days last week and yesterday and today of this, the special rate tickets have been on sale, but receipts have been light and far less than the traffic men expected. The sale last month waa also very light, but this was accounted for by the busy harvest season and the fact that travel In June and. May had been heavy. Before the present sale the local agents predicted a large sale. 'Before the sale the people are anx ious for the privilege of securing cheap tickets, but they fall to respond when the time comes," la the way one rail road man expressed himself.

IT'S SO tjiffiWHl 1 1$ A - fit - Vm'I w " MOYER Between 80 and 90 union plumbers went on strike this morning for an in crease of wages from 14.60 to IS a day. The action, was decided upon at a meet ing of the union Monday night, but the men did not go out until today, Members of the Master Plumbers' As sociation say that they were taken com pletely by surprise, and were not given five minutes' notice of the strike. They further aver that when the decision to strike was arrived at there were not more than 25 men present at the meet ing, and the proposition carried by only a small majority. The decision is un popular with the greater number of the men, they assert, and had there been a full attendance at the meeting the matter would have been voted doWn. The bosses also declare that they would not be surprised to see the representa tive members of the union call a spec ial meeting soon and decide to return to work., Building Hot Interrupted. So far as building operations In the city are concerned, the masters are of the opinion that they will not be af fected in the least by the strike. It will be their policy, so the bosses state, to assist each other until the difficulty Is adjusted. Nearly every shop has two proprietors who are usually practical plumbers, and when one firm is rushed the others turn out and assist it with its work. There are 12 or 15 independent firms of master plumbers in the city who are not affected by the strike. They em ploy in the neighborhood of 40 or 60 men, and if need be, will put on larger forces. It is, therefore, generally be lieved that the trouble will not be the means of seriously Interfering with the construction of buildings. " What They Want. The Journeymen plumbers are not af filiated with any local central labor body, and will probably be Obliged to tight out their battle unaided and alone. More than a year ago they withdrew from the Building Trades council and signed an agreement to work for no one but members of the Masters Plumbers' association. There were several firms of Independent master plumbers who were meeting all the union require ments, but these were boycotted after the agreement with the association was signed In an effort to force them Into the combination. All the other unions In the city condemned the plumbers' action, and had they -not withdrawn from the council it is probable that they would have been expelled. Considerable feeling was aroused against them among other unions. P. H. Scullln Is desirous of having the Interested parties experiment with his new arbitration plan, which provides for the appointment of a board of three to settle labor disputes. He will hold a meeting in the A. O. U. W. hall to morrow night, and Intends to Invite both master plumbers and journeymen to at tend and take up the question of arbi tration.

Trumbull, commercial agent for ship was on Are, the Illinois Central, with headquarters In Portland, is In Seattle. day morning, May 1, 1899. One or these men is Max Becker, boatswain's mate. He has served Uncle Sam In the navy more than 11 years and knows a ship from stem to poop and from top mast to keel. Becker was on board the protected cruiser Baltimore when Deweyls fleet slipped quietly under the guns of Cor rlgldor before the early dawn, and the Conoord was the only ship of the squad ron that replied to the land battery when they were Anally discovered trail ing by. All lights on all the ships were dark, but a sudden glare from the fun ael of the compact Concord revealed the presence of tho American fleet to the sleepy Spaniards. In speaking about his experience in that great naval contest Mate Becker was full of reminiscences. It has always been a mystery to the public how Admiral Dewey got into Ma nila bay that glorious morning without having his ships blown to atoms by torpedoes, as the Maine was shattered and sunk in the harbor of Havana. The Bkeptlcal have always suspected that Admiral Dewey had a Spanish pilot on board the flagship Olympla, and this theory Is confirmed by Becker. He said today: Sewey Bad Two Pilots. The admiral had two pilots on board the flagship. He picked them up at Hong Kong. I do not think they were Spanish pilots; I think they were natives Filipinos. I do not think the bay, or the entrance to it, were mined at all. We thought on board the Baltimore that all the talk about mines was. a bluff. After we destroyed the 8panish fleet and captured Cavlte we took several Spanish officers with us down to Corrlgldor to take oft the garrison there that had surrendered. They acted as pilots to steer us clear of torpedoes, but we aftsrward thought it was all a bluff and that there were no mines there at all. Spaniards for Target Praetloe. "The battle of Manila bay was simply target practice for us," continued the bosun's mate. "I did not see much of it at first, as I was busy at one of the six-pounders on the spar deck. We afterward heard that the Spaniards mis took the Baltimore for the battleship Oregon. That shows how well posted they were on the movements of the ves sels of our navy. The Oregon was then on the Pacific coast getting ready to go around the Horn and do business at Santiago de Cuba. Aftar our ships withdrew and the men had breakfast, and the admiral was sizing up our ammunition," he continued. "I waa sent up on the bridge to relieve another man. Up to that time we could not see that we had done the Spaniards any damage, but I had not been on the bridge long till I saw that thslr flag- Pretty soon we noticed NOTICE TO EMPLOYES To assist in the opening and arranging of our enormous New Fall Stock of Merchan dise you are requested to report as follows: Clerks Will Report as Follows: TODAY Clerks in Departments C, I, M, R, T, X, Y, Z, Patterns, Mail Orders.

Fred R. Mellls, who was recently ap pointed superintendent of the Oregon mining exhibit? has so far failed to sign the agreements. After Mr. Mellia' appointment he came to the commission with another proposition, which the commission has not as yet accepted. It is said that Mr. Mellis has asked $2,500 as a lump sum ror nis services in ar ranging the mining exhibit, but Com missioner E. C. Olltner denied that this was the amount, but was not at liberty to give the exact figures. Mr. Olltner further says: In the proposed mining exhibit at St Louis the state has a twofold object in view first, to represent Oregon there, and, second, to form a nucleus for an exhibit here at the time of the 1905 fair." A meeting of the commission will be held September 12, and if Mr. Mellls does not accept the proposition some other man will be asked to take the position. Preferred Stoek Canned Goods.

We did not know that our own shots had set them on flre. We could not see that we haddone them any damage at all. You see the Spaniards were lying behind a spit which extended into the bay and protected them. They would run out from behind the spit, flre at us and go back again. Excited Spaniards Shot Wild. The great trouble with the enemy was that he couidn t shoot, ne saia. 'Nearly all his shots went wild. They flew over and all around us, while many of our shots went home to the mark. At the same time the land batteries and forts were firing at us. The Manila battery was eight miles away, and the enemy muat have had modern eight-inch guns to do that. The entire Spanish armament was as good and in some re spects better than ours. If their men had been able to shoot as well as the Americans there might have been a dif ferent story to tell about the battle of Manila bay. The Baltimore was hit" 11 times. One shot struck the gun at which I was working and put it out of commission. It was a six-inch gun on the port side, amldshlp, and the shot came through the starboard side of the Baltimore. A moment before that hap pened a solid shot was spinning in the waterway at our feet. One of the gun crew thought it was a shell, and he stooped to pick it up and throw it over board before it could explode and do damage. But the shot was too hot to hold. It blistered his hands and he had to drop it. Then we discovered it was a solid shot. Jack Tars Eager for Battle. "When war was declared," he said, "the Baltimore was at Honolulu. That means,' we said, 'that we will go down to the Philippines,' and we did. There wasn't a man jack aboard the Baltimore that did not know where we were go ing, though I believe the admiral did not tell a soul of our destination, when we sailed out of Hong Kong. We began to clear the ship for action soon after we left that port. We heaved all the furniture and aH the woodwork, includ ing the wardroom partitions, overboard. We threw overboard all the wood on board except the deck planks. This was to prevent the ship catching fire. If the Spaniards had done that their ships, would not have caught flre. After the battle the Spaniards were more afraid of the Filipinos than they were of us." Ufye WORLD'S STANDARD! WARM AIR. FURNACE yJ TRADE MARK W. C. McPherson Company Salesroom 47 Pirst St bet.

The Multnomah club has gone on record once again for pure entertain ments. At the meeting of the carnival committees last night it was decided to only allow confetti throwing on four nights during the big fall show, Sep tember 14 to 28 inclusive. This will be Wednesdays and Saturdays, and on these nights it is expected that a battle royal will be waged. When it Is known that by deciding to not allow confetti thrown lng that the Multnomah boys lost sev eral hundred dollars In the way of con' cession privileges, their decision can be appreciated. Many who heretofore have remained away from Portland carnivals will no doubt attend the popular show to be given by the Multnomah boys this fall.

More or less hard feeling has been engendered on this matter among certain elements and the passive citizen expresses himself, as a rule, as being glad that the matter has termi nated as It has.
