' "I do not believe In making Ash of pne
and flesh of another," . Bald Councilman
Bentley yesterday, during the sesBion of
.the liquor licenae committee,; when the
proposition of questionable licenses came
tip. "Let us treat them all alike. - If
nmt 'mflbA ' vtn talra ntit ' tha hATBf anil

meaicine." ' , . .
- The question of granting a license to
the Star Cafe at 336 First street was um
der ' discussion. ' Froprletor Lane said
thai nehadaTriano: ia;-the house and
served wine In the boxesbut Insisted
that there had never been an arrest in
his house and ' never any trouble. The
complaints, he alleged, were Inspired by
-petty spite. ' ;"; -s , i
. "There are other saloons right by me
which have, both muetc and , boxes," he
Insisted,, "and one saloon hag a piano
and violin both. I have only a piano."-
"If you make me tax out the music
and" boxes, I think ffee. rest should be.
'served the same way," said Lane. . ' ;
Muslo and Wiaerooma Barred.
t "But we are not discussing the other
places," protested Chairman- Sigler.- It
was voted that Lane- might have , a 11
cense ' for y another - year,- but without
' wlneroomS'or music, v - ; . ,
The. committee decided, to reject the
license for B. Frlta' second-floor bar in
the- Paris house. , It decided also to
grant no licenses to places in either that
'or, the,' Cosmopolitan building,' which
were connected in any way with the cribs
upstairs Several saloons that now have
stairway ,J-passages must taka them out
or jose tncir licenses,
Licenses were granted to niany ques
tionable places, with the understanding
tliat the permits wou)d be revoked at the
lirst indication 'of any irregularity, :
The Majestic Cafe, 851 Williams ave
nue, operated by .L. Sax. was officially
declared ; out of existence v because of
numerous complaints against It. A pro
test against Louis Trummer's saloon at
825 Morrison . street was tabled fqr
Investigation. Some complaint was
made against Louis Winehardt s saloon,
205 Stanton street, but he secured : a
license; . j x
. . Whiting Bracks ths Tie. t
.. Councilman CaTdwell's successor,. Dr.
Sanford Whiting, was present as an act
ive mciriber of the committee and broke
the tie which had existed since last ses
sion over the license question. . The pro
posed amendment providing "for 'extra
licenses for extra bars was ferried, but
the. amendment 'relating 'to the taxing
of side entrancess and all-night privi
leges was, indefinitely' postponed. '
Mr.', Flegel. thought restaurants dis
pensing liquors Should pay f 100 a quar
ter (the license. Is' now $50 a quarter),
but a vote left the license as it is. It
was asserted that any increase would
practically put many of the restaurants
out of business. Mr. Zimmerman also
insisted that the restaurants paid a high
occupation tax. but upon investigation
it. was discovered that the largest res
taurant paid only 5 a.quarcer. . It was
decided that wholesale grocers doing a
wholesale liquor business should pay a,
wholesaler's license.
The big drug dealers who sell liquor,
It was voted, must also take out whole
salers' licenses.
; The action of the committee is expect
ed to be ratified at te special session of
the city council tomorrow afternoon.
That is the prime object of calling the
meeting, so there will be very little else
Lexcept routine business to be considered.
TWO CHINAMEN

Charles B. Bellinger In the United States

' Dr. LeRoy and O. G. Blrrell of the
Oregon information bureau at the Union
depot have been busy of late, but not in
supplying Information to curious tour
ists. -
The' walls of their room are adorned
with shea ves-f wheat,-rye, ts, grasses
and small grains of -various sorts. In

small moths, light feathery, bits of ani
mal life that crawled into- your eye and
down 'your neck, lip 'your' shirt sleeve
and into your, ear -every minute of the
day. Every night the cold ale killed the
day's crop and next' morning the floor
was .'almost covered with these fluffy
things, but each . day. of steam heat
brought 'forth 'increasing ' thousands.
' Some friend started the trouble when
he suggested-that sulphur fumes would
kill the insects. Christmas day the
room was closed tightly, and, a dozen
sulphur pastilles were set burning. The
room next day,1 and eveif the Immediate
portion of the adjoining depot was
sealously avoided by people Who had
noses and visitors straying into the room
sniffed once, begged pardon and escaped.
The sulphur killed insects by the tens
of thousands, but the crop, after a day
or two of -rest, began, again, to blossom
forth; . Bug guns that squirt insect
powder, blowers that send, out a spray
of turpentine and the ever-present sul
phur pastille were all used and any
thing lse recommended as a bug slayer
was eagerly purchased and applied.
The insect army is of late growing
feeble, in its assaults, the bug banners
are furled and the moth militia is folding-its
"tents, but" once in a while a
stray skirmish party is discovered by
Dr. LeRoy 6r Mr.. Blrrell and the squirt
gun is at once brought forth. Visitors
at the bureau need not be surprised that
they are suddenly deserted by the guide
who fauls forth an insect gun and pur
sues, around the rom ' a stray moth,
squirting turpentine at the. fleeing bug.
The dally, order now is, 8 a. m. doors
and windows open, 8:15 to 8:30 a. m. re
move the dead, 8:30 to 9 pursue the liv
ing, then visitors till evening, with oc
casional forages among the bug hosts
and then an evening .onslaught.

To cover a distance of 13.000 miles in
73 days seems an incredible feat for a
sailing vessel to perform, but It was
done by the British ship Glenesslln,
which .arrived In the harbor yesterday
afternoon. About three years ago she
made . the passage .in., that - time . -from
Portland to South Africa, a distance of
more than half-way around the earth.
By doing so she broke the world's record.-
, v:, : ,v -r .,- j
The next-best passage ever made be
tween these ports was by a Norwegian
ship, which completed the voyage in Si
days. ..... -
- Quick passages are a common occur
rence with the Glenesslln. Capt. Thomas
Prltohard,-her commander, is' proud of
the distinction which she has now In
this respect, and says It. can be calcu
lated In advance to the very day al
most when she will reach the port for
which she la bound. He states that
she will arrive on time Just as fre
quently as a ; steamship, or a railway
train ror which time, cards have en
prepared.
-',': Cargo CMgbt Tlr. .'
The Glenesslln is 'no stranger in these
waters. During the past few years she
nas Deen nere on three different occa
sions. Her last trip to Portland was
a year ago. when she took out a cargo
of flour and canned good's for Delagoa
Bay, South Africa. She left down the
river on her outward voyage during
the latter part of" December. Reaching
Astoria the night before Christmas, the
members of the crew-decided to have a
big feast in honor of the occasion. With
lighted candles they went down into
the hold and began .to look for con
densed cream and canned peaches. So
eagerly did they conduct the search that
they became reckless, and the cargo
caught Are from their candles. In
few -minutes' they were surrounded by
leaping flames, and for a time it looked
as though the vessel would be a com
plete loss.
The men Anally extricated themselves
from their perilous position -and
emerged into full-fledged firemen. By
hard work and the liberal use of water
they extinguished the flames before any
great amount of damage was done, but
their plans for Christmas were spoiled.
The tempting food stowed away in the
ship s depths was left untouched.- -
Captaia'i Wlfa Blsd. . 1
Shortly after reaching the dark con
tlnent Mrs. Pritchard," who was accom
ptuiylng her husband, was seised with
typhoid fever and died after an illness
of about ten days. For a time the offl
cers and nearly every member of the
crew were down with the disease. The
sickness is supposed to have - been
brought-about, by a change of . drinking
water. '
The vessel discharged a portion of her
cargo at Delagoa Bay and the balanco
at East London. There orders were re
ceived to proceed to the Columbia river.
Reaching Astoria, the ship. was ordered
into quarantine. After fumigating the
ballast and killing all the rats which
had. taken passage . the. vessel was re
leased, . t'r''.i !
w she -Is under charter to carry lumber
to 8outh Africa, and will soon begin
taking on cargo. ,
ASIATIC STEERAGE
RATES ARE RAISED
The Paclflc Mall and Us allies have
again raised the Asiatic steerage pas
senger rates and, the Mongolian who de
sires to travel to his native land In the
next few weeks will be compelled to pay
$45 for his ticket, says the San Fran
cisco Examiner, whereas three days ago
he could, have secured passaga for $20.
It is all because of the departure of the
rival steamer Chlng Wo on Thursday.
The Chlng Wo of the China Commer
clal Steamship company's line went out
of here with ' 370 Asiatic passengers.
which she carried for a fare of $15 a
head. .The steamer Doric, which is op
erated jointly .with the Paclflo Mall
steamers, sailed two days before the
Chlng Wo, and carried only 81 Chinese,
for a fare of $20. The advance to $46
was announced today by the Paclflc Mail
and will continue In operation until the
arrival of "the Atholl, the next China
Commercial, freighter due here. With
the arrival of the opposition steamer the
rate war will again be resumed. ,
GERMAN STEAMSHIP
BOARDED BY PIRATES
Officers of the German steamship Ser
bia, which has arrived at Tacoma from
Hamburg, report , that while the vessel
was lying in port at Valparaiso, Chile,
she was boarded in the dead of night by
rix harbor pirates who sought to loot
her cargo under cover of darkness. The
third mate returning from shore, dis
covered their boat alongside, and upon
reaching the deck, alarmed the watch
and crew, and the Invaders were driven
overboard to their boat. Shots .' were
fired, alarming the officers, who caught
the defeated pirates, and summary pun
ishment followed, the six being behind
bars and under sentence when the Serbia
left the port.
