regarded as one of the strongest candi
dates the Democrats could select, and
tha name of R. D.fnman la heard fre

on fire off Creacent City. The men rep
resent M. C. Harrison at Co. and Johnson
Hlgglns of San Francisco, and th?y
will be busily occupied all day ngunng
on the extent of damage the goods sus
tained. .
The freight waa brought to Portland
on the steamer Columbia, which reached
port yesterday afternoon from the. Hay
City. It comprises only a psrt of the
Oregon s cargo; the balance will arrive
In a few daya on the St. Paul. A por
tion ia in bad abase, but aome of It
is said to be. in practically aa good eon
dltlon as IV waa when it waa ahlpped.
All of the goods were insured.
The Oregon's cargo waa made up al
most entirely of geneeal ' merchandise
and waa valued close to $100,000. Mur.b
of It -waa consigned to local - wholesale
houses and waa partly for distribution
In the Interior. Aa the freight will not

CRITICISE BIGLIN.
Charges Agamat Paul Are Safe Joe of
Ben- Bigliiv the harbormaster. Is , se
verely criticised for preferring charges
and arresting D. W. Paul, agent for the
local branch, of tha Sailors - union, on
the ground that he 'was harboring sea
men. After the arrest f Paul yester
day one of his - bondsmen Indignantly
exclaimed to BIglln: -
Thla la ridlculouav Why ia It that
you do not look after the aadlor boarding-house
people T They are harboring
deserters almost every day In the week.
Paul, -it la explained, does not conduct
a boarding or lodging-house. The union
rents a hall on Kront street, which is
msde the headquarters for coast sailors.
Paul conducts thla hall, and furnishes
the coasting vessels with crews free of
charge. Thla plan la taken by tha na
tional organisation in order that a local
branch'of the union may be maintained,
and not because of any profits accruing
from, it. The aailora who make that
their headquarters live at the various
restaurants and lodging-houses Just the
same aa the loggers who make occa
sional vlalta from the camps down the
river. Paul aaya the aallor boarding
house commissioners have given htm
permlsaton to run the hall without pay
ing a license. ; ;.''" '
