When rescued lie was almost exhausted, and could not have survived much longer. ' In fronipany with others, Pilot Woods was in amall boat which waa convey ing ihem to the Claverlng. Arriving ' alongside the big liner a atepladder was . put out for him to elimb: up and get aboard., In eome manner he missed his looting and fell,' and waa soon battling with the waves. He was carried some . distance from the ship, and about half ' the time was hidden from view by the raging sea. Those occupying the small bnat went In pursuit of the almost- i gowned man, and they finally succeeded in pulling him aboard, more dead than ejlve.. He soon revived, however, and , then the officers and crew of the Claver lng assisted him in boarding the steamer. After changing clothes and hovering around a hot lire for a time he recovered from his experience. . The,CIaverlng reached port at 7 o'clock tn la morning and brought the news of tee accident, The officers state that this lis the only incidents any consequence (that has occurred since the steamer left Ban Francisco, Tuesday night. Nasty . weather was encountered coming up the coast, but the vessel ploughed along' at a leisurely gait, reaching the mouth of the river at 9 o'clock yesterday morn ing. For almost three hours she lay on the outside waiting for a pilot, but Anally crossed in at 1 o'clock. Two hour later she left up for Portland, anchor ing at I o'clock this morning until after sunup on account of fog. . - "'' With the arrival of the Claverlng this morning the old schedule of the .

HOBSON SUGGESTS A " KEffBUFFEITSTATE By Captain B T. Kobaoa. Jasper, Fla.. March 4. The suggea- tton of ,luaslan papers that Russia withdraw from southern Manchuria and oontalns a gist ef a happy solution to the Russo-Japanese conflict; ' Coupled with the report that Russians will soon surrender Port Arthur - and withdraw from Llao -Tung' peninsula the sugges tion deserves the earnest consideration , by contending powera and by ' other would powers - whose attitude should carry weight with tbe belligerents. Per manent occupation of one third to one half of Manchuria by Russia would . probably be acceptable to the world, provided a buffer state should be cre ated out of the remainder of Manchuria, with 'the guarantees of complete com t merclal freedom in this territory.-' The , ; world would doubtless be content to see such a buffer state organised by Japan, while Japan, judged by her present as surance, would doubtless be willing to ... make such guarantees. 8uch a buffer atate could be organised in any way (the commercial . powers themselves) desired, something , after the manner of the buffer states in the Balkans. .With its security guaranteed. . .. such a state could' proceed upon the lines of organisation found suitable for its habits and ', development, drawing upon the greater powers only for as- - slstancla when found necessary for mak ing life and property secure and giving . commerce and Industry free play.

When asked if he would move his headquarters to Portland he replied that no such change Is contemplated, at present. ' The Claverlng came up the coast light, and is only, drawing 17 feet of water. Stevedores began to. load her at 1 o'clock. She will take out 1,445 tons of cargo, consisting entirely of flour and lumber. a state would constitute another experi mental Meld for solving the great prob- lera in the eat and tbe proper way; of opening up China on a large scale. Commercial nations must solve tbls problem sooner Or later, and If some such method of a " fair and equitable kind is not found a world war will re sult. One cannot help but look wltb pleasure upon such a picture as the powers of the white race coming to gether on common ground for the nobl purpose of uplifting the yellow race. With such an opening up, China In nn would give a mlghtly Impulse to the commerce of the world and bring a rich reward for the performance of a high duty. -. , - .. - -. . ... Making a Safe Passage.
