A change baa been made in the Port
land A Asiatic . Steamship company's
schedule go that Instead of having the
next three liners coma from the orient
by way of Honolulu and San Francisco
they will coma dlreot from Yokohama
exactly as before the Inauguration of
tbe new sailing chart.
The change Is due to the fact thut
aa Immense quantity of grain bags will
be Imported for the new wheat crop.
The Portland & Asiatic company has
aecurea we contract to carry ins DulK
of these bags and as a result the next
three liners will have all the freight
they can carry coming this way. Here
tofore it has been customary to bring
In bags ' on tramp steamers, but the
regular liners are anxlouq for business
and seoured It this season.
The first bag ship to arrivs will be
the liner Alesla, which Is due to arrive
here next Wednesday. She comes di
rect and henoe will be here earlier than
assistant Inspectors will tor their own

tome officers in eountinr the Dassen-
gers, issue to each motorboat carrying
passengers for hire a certificate at her
landing stage or wnarf, limiting tne
number of passengers she Is allowed to
carry, which must be exhibited to the
customs - inspectors before the motor
boat will be allowed to leave the land
ing stage or wharf, f
'Every such motorboat must be fur
nished with a lawful life-preserver for
each and every person allowed to be car
ried, and be fitted with suitable rails
on the top or side of her house forthe
passengers to bold on to. - w
"The local: and assistant Inspectors
will keep in a book a list of the names
of. the motorboats, the Operators and
navigators thereof, and the number of
Persons allowed to each motorboat: and
hey will permit the customs officers
to copy the same for their information.
"These rules have been tried at the
various ports lately visited by the fleet
In southern California, without t.ie loss
of human life, and were found to work
to the satisfaction of all concerned. Any
violation of them will result in either

The bass are beInK nlaoed on honrd
the Portland-Aslatio liners at Hong
kong and by having the steamers come
direct after touching at Yokohama it
Will be nosslble to have them all her
by the beginning Instead of the end of
juiy. ii tne liners touched at Honolulu
and San Francisco the bags would be
delayed fully four, weeks.
Following the Alesla will be the Nu
mantta and Arabia. After the arrival
of the latter the new schedule will
become effective, every liner to corns
ly wsy of' flan Francisco but sailing
direct from Yokohama from this port.
It was announced this morning that
while some difficulty has been experi
enced getting a full cargo for the Nlo
omedla. which Is scheduled to leave
here Tuesday, the Alesla will go out
fully laden, space having already been
reserved for 40,000 barrels of flour.
The Nlcomedla will go out with about
14.000 barrels of flour and the balance
of the freight space devoted to lum
ber and general freight.
Bags command a heavy duty, so that
the next three oriental liners will en
rich the customs department by thou
sands of dollars."
Local Inspectors Will Look Into Con.
duct of Bar Pilot Bailey.
The hearing of tha comolalnt filed by
Captain Olson of the steamer Alliance,
charging Bar Pilot Bailey with having
detained him off the mouth of tbe Co
lumbia river In hopes of getting a big
towage claim last winter, when the Al
liance lost her rudder in crossing Coos
bay bar. will come up for hearing before
local Inspectors Edwards and Fuller on
Mar 16.
The hearing gives promise of bring
ing out some sensational testimony In
view of the fact that Captain Olson has
set forth In his complaint that Pilot
Bailey frightened the passengers on the
partly disabled Alliance ln saying that
the vessel would be lost unless she be
taken In tow.
The Minnie E. Kelton hearing, which
was on the boards yesterday, was con
tinued, owing to the fact that Captain
MacKenna has not yet returned from
Astoria, where he went to inspect the
steam schooner. The hearing will prob
ably be resumed Monday morning.
OVERDUE SHIP IS SAFE.
W. F. Ba brock Reaches Straits With
Coal From Australia.
(Special Dtepatch to Tbe Joorn&L .
Victoria, B. C, May 9. The overdue
American ship W. F. Babcock is pass
ing up the straits today, bound for
Vancouver with a cargo of coal. The
Babcock has been out 100 days from
Newcastle, N. S. W., and was quoted at
10 per cent reinsurance a couple of days
ago.
In view of the fact that other belated
vessels from Australia have reached
the Pacific coast with rsports of culms
and headwinds it Is supposed thst the
captain of the Babcock will have a
similar report 'to make.

Peter Pinnance, the happy little In
dian of the Beaver team, will pitch
the game Sunday afternoon against the
Seals. Pinnance baa had the sign on
the Mohlerites ln every game he pitched
except the draw one Wednesday, when
a bad inning allowed the Seals to' score
four tn the first ' '
Pinnance will be sent to the firing
line by Manager McCredie because pop
ular opinion demands that the Chippewa
brave occupy that place. Hundreds of
fans went to the game last Tuesday for
no other reason than te see him in ac
tion. They . were dlsaoDOlnted. Man.
ager Mao thought Jess Garrett was in
oetter condition, nut Jess had , bad
inning and tha Seals romped home in
nuiuDers.
Pinnance is a wonder. He has proved
this. McCredie la doing the thing right
to put him in the box even If it does
throw Bobby Groom over Into next
week. Bobby Is a familiar figure
while the Indian is practically a stran.
Eer. But he won't remain so long for
Is popularity has become contagious.
Kinsella will go against the mla
to day and will probably be opposed by
the old reliable Oskie Jones. Oskle has
been bumped considerably by the heavy
sticking Beavers and he Is out after
them hot and heavy touay.
Danny Long has not pitched his
southpaw. Sutor. yet. He will probably
send Sutor in to throw against Pin
nance Sunday. Sutor is another hew
pitcher but comes with a good J-ecord
from the south. . ,
Both teams ha va .at u,j ...
splendid condition. Two days of en
ffJ!0.! one from the field has whet,
ted their appetites for puzzling slants
and grass-burning grounders and they
win go in in splendid condition. The
fans, too, have been hungry for the
