river from Astoria yesterday, 0 the
paHeni?era on the Spencer report, and
their boat beat the fine beach excursion
boat of the O. ft. A N. company.
; The crqft were together near Astoria
at about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, but
gradually the Bpencer worked ahead
until a landing had to be made. The
Potter came up to the scratch and
feajaln there was a spurt. The Bpencer
would again get the lead until-another
landing was. made, and it is said that
so the race continued all the way to
Portland, the Spencer making nine land
ings and the Potter going straight
through. But the Potter Is a speedy
boat and perhaps another race will re
sult differently. The Spencer reached
her dork about :30 last night, having
made the run from Astoria in a- little
over six hours. This Is considered fine
time, considering' the. swift current in
the Columbia.
The T. J. Potter left down strain this
morning, bound for Megler.'s with . a fair
crowd of passengers. ''', "
OMITS WORD "BAR,"
; Chinese coolies are rapidly being
snipped out of South Africa as a result
of the liberal party having gained con
: trol of politics in England, says Cap
tain Booth of the British steamer Ascot
r hich, arrived here this morning from
-L'ureka, Gal.; undo? charter to load lunv-
ber for Melbourne, Australia, ;
t Up till a few months ago the. Asoot
was carrying coolies from the South
gold mines to Cueefoo and Chlng "Wing
Tau and, other steamers are now in the
trode taking the Chinese to their homes
. as rapidly as their labor contracts with
the mine owners expire. Black men.
Kaffirs, natives of the jungles, are tak
ing the places made vacant by the de
portation of the Chinese. . s
, The Ascot was here a year, ago and
took a cargo of flour to China. Tram
there she went In Dal last to Durban,
' South Africa, where 1,100 coolies em
barked for transportation "home. Most
f them had' money. They had been
two years In the mines , working for
30 a month and found and this meant
much to the Chinese who had left-their
f-wn country little better off than pau-
f'ers. Now they were men of affluence,
rt way, and Captain Booth says One
. would have' believed - it to watch them
ramble on the voyage home. Email
fortunes were won- and lost. - To ths
coolies they-were large fortunes.
After delivering the. first lot of re
turning coolies, the Ascot struck out
again for a second lot of equal sise.
7 he same gambling spirit prevailed but
otherwise everything went along
smoothly without even a serious scrap
on board. .The men were carried be
tween decks -, where temporary bunks
had been Installed. . :
"At the rate the Chinese are being
shipped out there will be very few In a
Khort time In the mines," said Captain
Booth. .-"They are the best obtainable
lielp for the work but. the country , has
come to the conclusion that the work
: really belongs to the natives and no
the Chinese must - return to their own
country upon the expiration of the two
year labor contracts." v ;.,'
. After delivering the last lot of Chi
nese the Ascot went to Japan and took
-' a cargo of oak railroad ties for Mexico.
.From there she went to-Eureka end
took on 1,000,000 feet of redwood for
Melbourne. At - Linn ton " the steamer
will take 1.000.000 feet of lumber and
then shift across the river to the mills
At St. Johns and take on another 1,000.-
. 000 feet there. She will go to Mel
bourne via a coaling port, possibly Cc-

The - Journal yesterday. District Fore
caster E. A. Beals wnl substitute the
words "mouth -of Columbia, river'' for

Colonel S. W. Roessler, United States
engineers' corps, has had' blue prints
made of the chart showing the sound
ings at the mouth of the Columbia and
in a few days there will be copies ready
for : distribution among those having
need of them. . The-chart shows that
half a doaen sandbars that formerly of
fered more or less obstruction to the
very deep-going craft hajje.been swept
away so that there is norf channel
6,000 feet wide and from 24 to (0 feet
deep at the very lowest water. The

about 26 feet at extreme low water,
whlchjneans about 34 feet at high tide.

CLUB OPPOSED TO
llOTOIilOUS CAFE
Commercial f . Organization
Raises Objection to- Trans
fer of Conrad Resort.
' More trouble la In 'sight for the Pull
man cafe, about to be ' removed from
286 Alder street to the Portland Com
merolal club building. It Is said strong
on, Altion is developing in the club to
the 'proposed occupancy by the Pullman
cafe of a'-, ground floor room or any
other room in. the club's new building.
Officials of the club . will not talk
for publication, and President Hodaon
is absent from the city, but it is known
that members of the board of governors
have taken the subject under - advise
ment preliminary to definite asWon
that is .expected to be taken at the
board's next meeting, Tuesday, June 80.
Vice-President Maguire when asked
what would be done about permitting
the Pullman resort to become a tenant
of the building, said: i -
"I am not talking about the matter
today. It has been : brought to our
attention, but there la nothing to say
at this stage - of the proceeding. The
subject will be one for the board of
governors - and will probably be taken
up."- ...: :. " -v ;.
In the absence from the city of Pres
ident Hudson any immediate action
would be up to Vice-President Maguire,
and he Is securing necessary data for
ir.aklng up a conclusion as to the atti
tude to be taken by him in the matter.
The Pullman cafe was for years con
ducted by- John Conrad at 286 Alder
street, and because of continued vio
lation of, the ordinance prohibiting
women from frequenting resorts of this
kind the license committee of the city
councH was about to revoke his li
cense, when ha was permitted to trans
fer the license to P. C O'Meara, for
merly a teamster In the employ of the
Drlscoll Transfer concern. It Is said
the placo la still owned by Conrad. .
A lease on one of the ground floor
rooms of the Commercial club building
had been taken by a lessee who la said
to have transferred the tenancy to
O'Meara, and the city . council has
f ranted an application . for transfer of
he Pullman cafe license from the
premises at 286 . Alder street to " the
Commercial club building. It la al
leged that the transfer of the Commer
cial club lease to O'Meara was done
without ratification by the club man
agement, and an effort will be made to
nave it cancelled. -,
TONGUES OF FIRE
BOOKED FOR TBOUBLE
Complaint against action of the
Tongues of Fire sect in pitching a tent
In the publio road and fencing in a part
of the highway has been lodged with
the county court by Dr. Arthur W.
Chance. In a communication received
this mornlnar he reauis that the sher
iff be instructed to remove the ob
structions in the road.
It Is unlikely that the sheriff will re
ceive any directions or suggestions in
the 'matter from the - county court
Fencing in or obstructing a publio road
Is a criminal offense, however, and if a
complaint is sworn to the "Saints of the
Apostolic Faith" might be brought to
answer In court.
Chance complains that the religion
ists are a common nuisance, and should
not be allowed to encroach on the public
road. The road In question Is ths main
