i - .
Weather on Ocean,
Passengers on tfts, steamer Alliance
from Coos Bay were thrown Into ex
citement soon after the steamer left
her dock by the shrieks of a woman in
hysterics. Her husband had to use
force to subdue her and when she came
ashore this morning the crowd won
dered what had happened, the woman s
face looking as If she had been trying
to do the proverbial kindling splitting
stunt.
Officers of the steamer say the
woman got insanely Jealous of her hus
band and became hysterical when shs
saw him talking to another woman pas
senger. ! ' .
The Alliance reached Couch street
dock at 10 o'clock in command of Cap
tain Parsons and with Pilot Turner on
the bridge. The storm along the coast
has died down and the weather wan
ideal, so Captain Parsons reports. Com
ing into the river the Alliance passed
the French bark Rochambeau in ballast
from Honolulu. The bark was la tow
of a bar tug. The Alliance brought a
light freight, , ,
The steamer Eureka, Captain Noren,
from Eureka by way of Coos Bay,
reached Martinis dock this afternoon.
She left Coos Bay about an hour be
fore the Alliance but being a smaller
craft fell behind and reached Astoria
threu hours in the rear. She brings
freight and passengers.
BARGE OHIO LAUNCHED
Large Craft Makes Spectacular Slide
Over Long AVays.
The barge Ohio, built by the Port
land Shipbuilding company, was
launched from the ways in South Port
land Tuesday afternoon. The "unch
ing was one of the prettiest seen hre
for many a day because of the length or
the slide. . ,
The ways over which tb barge riaa
to travel to reach the water were fully
200 feet in length and the cumbersome
raft gained such momentum that it
Kent a seething wave of water nearly
clear across the river when it hit. The
river at this place is about three quar
ters of a mile in width. '
The barge was built for the Diamond
O Steamship company's fleet and has t
capacity for carrying from 1000 to 1500
tons of freight.
The PW-tiand Shipbuilding company
will now begin work on the Willam
ette Iron & Steel Works' floating dry
dock. The pontoons will be built at
the shipyard and towed to the chosen
site in North Portland. The new tow
boat Mlnsinger that Is being built for
the Star . Sand company, will be
launched in a few days.

afternoon on her way up the river, will

The steamer struck a rock, and toro
a hole in her bottom but the damage can
be repaired without assistance from
here. Soft patches were put on and
when this was completed it was easy
to pump the hold dry. It will take about
two das to make permanent repairs.
The accident, while not serious, cre
nteii considerable excitement among the
passengers, who feared that the boat .
would tliiK unaer men, ine omcera
soon assured them that the boat would ,

MOLLYCODDLE ERA
(Continued tfom Page One.)
entire editorial staff of the "Renancle
mento," a virulent native' paper which
for several years with Impunity preached
revolt against American authority.
Paper That Bngsndsxs Hatred.
The specific charge on which the
f resent action was taken was a pun
ished attack on Dean Worcester of tho
Philippine commission, in which he was
charged with everything except being
an honest and truthful man.
That too late these sllngers of the
Journalistic vitriol have deciphered the
handwriting on the wall Is shown In the
editorial lament, which appeared ths
day following the arrest of the offend
ing staff. In part this reads thus:
T'Is this the inauguration of the 'era
of sorrows'? There are positive symp
toms that this is so, but it would be
better to silence the 1 organ of pubiio
opinion and obligs them to applaud all
official measures adopted."
This paper, which has been - n
whlpped of Justice during a treasonable
existence of several years,, never pub
lishes ths story of a serious crime in
which natives are implicated. Its one
policy has been to engender hatred
against Americans, and the fact that
It has been allowed to continue on Its
dangerous way is a typical evidence of
the policy of vacillating weakness
which has marked the civil administra
tion. Too Hnea Bapid Pire Autonomy.
The policy of giving native agitators
positions of trust to quiet their attacks
on the government Is charged with the
responsibility for the recent epidemic
of cholera In Manila. The dreaded
disease found its way to this city. It
is claimed by the American healCh of
ficers, through the failure of the native
officials In the provinces to take any
precautions to prevent Its spread. One
provincial health officer was found at
tending a wake over the body of a
cholera victim and he displayed some
peevishness when he was led away
from the joyous function and immersed
in a carbolic bath.
It is pointed out that the American
policy of taking a semisavage people
and preparing them for autonomous
government In five years has been a
case of attempting the Impossible.
The development of the islands has
' been greatly retarded Owing; to men of
capital refusing to Invest until a status
and secure government is established
and until restrictions are placed on the
ever increasing authority being vested
in Incompetent and criminal natives.
Every American resident of the arch
ipelago, Irrespective of political affilia
tions, celebrated ths election ef Taft
as the promise of a much needed change
of policy. The framing of this new
policy is expected to be intrusted large
ly to General Luke Wright, who Is ex
pected to continue to hold the war port
folio. General Wright was the one gov
ernor general who held a tight reir on
the Filipinos, and it was his opposition
to the administration's policy of vacil
lation which resulted In file being trans
ferred from Manila to Tokio.
Capital Bad Grown Bopeless.
An optimistic spirit has taken pos
session of ths American colorvy since
the election and many new enterprises
are being launched. A number of the
leading merchants state that but for
their belief that President Taft will
make radical changes in the govern
ment's policy they would withdraw from
the islands.
It is generally believed that Governor
Si earner Breakwater Arrives Two
Days Late Prom Coos Bay.
The steamer Breakwater, Captain
Macgern. whtr-h sailed from here at 8
o'clock litst night, had a very rough
voyage from Coos liay and was two
da'vs behind (schedule. She got away on
time, last night, however,-
Captain Macgenn reports that Tues
day morning when the Breakwater was
outside the mouth of the Columbia
river, the wind blew with hurricane ve
locity and whipped up a heavy sea.
Prior to that the craft had been bar
bound at Coos Bay until Monday after
noon. She should have sailed from
Coos on Saturday.
The Breakwater brought 8000 cases
rf salmon for Astoria anil a large Quan
tity of general freight andcoal for thl
port. .,
f AKING PROGRESS WITH WORK
St. Johns Shipbuilding Company
Nearly Ready to Launch Perry.
The new Vancouver ferry will soon be
completed at the yards of the St, Johns
Shipbuilding company. It was stated
this morning that the craft would be
ready for launching during ths early
part of January ......
The craft will be operated between
Vancouver and the Oregon shore by the
Portland Light & rower company in
onneetion with Its electric Una between
this city end Vancouver. It will be
much larger than the old boat and of
great speed.
ALONG THE WATERFRONT.
The steamer Roanoke, ' Captain Dun
ham, sails for San Pedro and way ports
this evening.
Captain Charles Pond. United States
lighthouse Inspector, left for Seattle
this morning to inspect some aids to
navigation on Puget sound.
The steam schooners Northland and
Olson & Mahoney are booked to come
here soon from San Franelsco to load
lumber for return cargoes.
The French bark Rochambeau. which
arrived In the river yesterday In ballast
from Honolulu, Is under charter to Bal
four, Guthrie & Co., to carry wheat to
