Berlin, July 8. Since the receipt of
Admiral Bendernann's dispatch an
nouncing the arrival of the legations at
Tien Tain with Admiral Seymour, the
foreign office here has received no
further information either way. Whih
admitting the possibility that Admiral
Bendemann was misinformed, the for
eign office assumes the correctness of

proved. It admits, however, that it is
very singular that the other powers
have not received news similar to that
cabled by Admiral Bendeman.

Honolulu, June 18, via San Fran

been inaugurated by Japanese laborers
on several of the islands. It is report
ed that the Japanese have been told
that they are free American citizens
now and that the American laws on
vide that no workingman shall receive
less than $1 a day. The laborers de
mand the cancellation of their con
tracts, and that the plantations shall
pay each individual laborer the $3.50 a
month, which, by the terras of the con
tract, are to be paid to the immigration
companies, in consideration of the
companies having brought the laborers
to the islands and guaranteeing his ser
vices during the contract period, or to
replace mm if ne deserts. Ho far as
the $2.50 per month is conoerned, the
plantations aie willing to accede to the
demands of the laborers, it is stated.
but they are not willing to consider the
contracts as having been annulled by

anese immigration companies received

Judge Kohlsaat, in the United Statei
district court. Judge Kohlsaat took
the case from the jury and entered a
verdict of not guilty. Then the board
of trade officials took the matter in
their own hands, with the above result.

A GREAT DOCK FIRE
Three Ocean Steamships in
Hoboken Burned.
k TERRIBLE LOSS OP LIFE
Property Loss Over 10,O0O,000-VeS'
eels Destroyed Are Saale, Bre
men and Main.
New York, July 4. Over $10,000,
000 worth of property was destroyed,
many lives lost, many persons were
injured, and at least 1,500 lives im
periica Dy a nre that started among
cotton bales under pier No. 8 of the
North German Lloyd Steamship Com
pany, in Hoboken, N. J., at 4 o'olock
this afternoon. In less than 15 min
atei the flames covered an arsa of
quarter of a mile long, extending out
ward from the actual shore line to the
bulkheads, from 600 to 1,000 feet away,
and had caught four great ocean liners
and a dozen or more smaller harbor
craft in their grasp.
Stories in regard to the loss of life
are conflicting, the number being vai-i
ously estimated at from 60 to 200. Up
to midnight 10 bodies hud been recov
ered, but they were all so badly
burned and blackened that identifica
tion was impossible.
The hospitals in New York, Hoboken
and Jersey City are crowded with in
jured and men are being brought in
by scores.
Those who gathered along the shores
of the Hudson river to witness the great
conflagration saw a speotacle they can
never forget, and one that will always
have a conspicuous place in the history
of New York. River and bay were en
veloped in a pall of black smoke
through which angry flames, bursting
as from volcanoes on the Jersey shore
and in the water itself, leaped like
spirits into the air. The surface of the
water was covered with floating and
blazing masses of freight thrown in
haste from the doomed vessels, all nn
noticed in the mad race to rescue more
precious human life threatened or be
ing sacrificed in the great ships. And
through the pall of smoke a great
crimson sun, enlarged to thrice its size
by the haze, glared like an enormous
eye as it slowly sank in the west.
Such was the tremendous speotacle
presented on the sin face of the Hudson
river as if it had been some holidav
pageant. It was made tragic bv the
realization that in that smoke and be
neath the turbid waters scores of lives
had been lost or were then in their last
desperate struggles against death.
Ihe spectacle was witnessed by
thousands from both shores, and by
other . thousands who crowded upon
every ferry boat, every exoursion boat
upon every river craft that could be
secured for the purpose. The crowd
upon the banks of the river was almost
as great as that which formed to wit
ness the triumphant return of Admiral
Dewey.
Two Hundred Lost.
New York, July 4. The losses BUS'
tained in the fire by the North German
Lloyd Steamship Company in Hoboken
yesterday, are tonight conservatively
placed at nearly $10,000,000, and the
loss of life, merely guesswork at even
this late hour, will reach probably as
high as 200, and there are over ' 800
men in the hospitals in this city, Ho
boken and Jersey City, badly burned,
Up to 11 o'clock tonight 18 bodies
have been recovered. Eleven of these
were placed in a row at the morgue in
this city and numbered, this being the
only means the authorities have of
maintaining any sort of identity over
the corpses, as they are so badly
charred and dismembered that identi
fication will be made only by trinkets
oi pieces of clothing that were found
about them. The only way the steam
ship officials have of approximating the
loss of life is by comparing the list of
those reported safe with the list of the
employes on the steamships. .
Lute tonight Gustav Schwab, the
general agent of the North German
Lloyd line, gave out a list showing
what men on each vessel had been
missing up to that hour. On the
Saale 255 men were employed, and
only 127 of these had been accounted
for up to 11 o'clock, leaving 128 men
actually employed as officers, sailors,
stewards, engineers, coalpassers, oilers
and trimmers . to be accounted for.
The Bremen had 204 men aboard, but
only 127 of these have been found. The
Main had 187 employes on aboard at
the time, and of these only 27 have
been reported safe.

ELDER BACK AGAIN.
The Vessel Made a Reeord-Breaklng-Rouud
Trip.
Portland. July 1. T'ie steamer Geo.
W. Elder tied up attheAinsworthdook
at 8 o'clock last night, ater a voynge
of nine days from Nome City, having
made the round trip, including live
days lay-over in Dutch Harbor and six
days discharging cargo at Cape Nome,
in 81 days. She brought 13 passengers,
uone of whom report that they struck
it very rich. Her trip is the quickest
on record. Two days before the de
parture of the Elder, the Nome City
arrived off., the beach, and Captain
Uandall, of the Elder, believes she
will be in Portland again in about 10
days.
The Elder took up 825 passonjjors,
mostly from Portland, aud landed them
with their belongings safely on the
beaoh. The O. Ii. & N. Co. had made
lightering arrangements, which on
ablod tha Elder to get quick dispstoh,
aud she was much better off in this
renpect than many ot the other, steam
ers. Five ships reached Nome before
she did, the first of them beina the
San Bias. The stampede to Topkuk,
the new district where it is reported
that $15,000 was taken out, was at its
height when the Elder was in port and
another find was reported at Port Clar
ence, up the beach in the direction of
Kotzebue sonud. The day before the
Elder sailed a miner came to Captain
Knndull und offered to guarantee him
820 passengers at $20 a head for a run
to this new field. lie failed to return
again to make good his guarantee, and
the captain did not wait for him.
Money is plentiful, wages und meals
high. Great difficulty was exper
ienced by many of the vessels in get
ting men to handle the cargoes, and
much delay has been experionaed on
this aooount. Many of the crows of
the boats "jumped" as poon as they
reached the beach, and here again the
Elder was fortunate as she lost only
tour men by desertion three of whom
were from the cbin where they were
not missed owing to the few passengers
carried on the return trip. Smallpox
broke out on the steamship Ohio which
took up 700 people from Seattle, and
she went into quarantine at Egg
island. She was still there when the
Elder left. Other steamers which
were at Dutch Harbor at the same time
with the Elder came strangling in after
her arrival at Nome having been de
layed at Dutch Harbor by the difficulty
of oettimr coal. The nriue is $12 n
ton which all the captains wera more
than willing to pay, as they could not
get along without coal. There is a
great abunanoe in the yards at Dutch
Harbor but only a limited force of mou
to handle it.

and our only salvation is diversified in
dustry, He referred to the ju-osperity
which exists in the beet-raising sec

of our state, as an example of what this
enterprise will do for Newberg, Yam
hill and Oregon. Other enthusiastic
peeohes were made by local orators.

tions were taken for acreage. Con
tracts have been signed and reported
for 5,100 acres. A public meetinir was
held in McMinnville today, and a tele
phone message received here states that
