Coal Operators Admit That the Price of
Fuel Is to Be Raised.
New York, June 11. The Interstate
Commerce Commission returned to
New York today to continue the Inves
tigation into the complaint of W. R.
Hearst that the coal-carrying railroads
have violated and are violating the
anti-pooling section of the Sherman
anti-trust law. The commission post
poned the hearing until the United i
States Circuit Court bad passed on
the right of the coal road presidents to
refuse to answer questions as to con'
tracts between the coal companies and
the railroads.
Robert M. Ollphant. ex-president of
the Delaware & Hudson, one of the re
spondent railroads, wa the first wit
ness. He corroborated the statements
of theother coal men, who have test!
ned that the price of coal to the public
Is to be raised 10 cents a ton a month
until a maximum increase of 60 cents
ton is reached. He was not prepar
ed to say that the Increased cost of
production would not exceed 30 cents.
"We could get a higher price If we
asked for It," he added. It was out of
deference to the needs of the public,
the witness said, that the price of coal
was kept at 5 Just after the strike,
when the Independent operators were
getting $8 to $10.
Adelbert Moot, of counsel for the
Erie system, protested that the com
mission has no jurisdiction In any mat
ter that concerns the price of coal.
The commission decided It could con
sider the prices realized for the pro
duct to arrive at the reasonableness
or the unreasonableness of the freight
rates.
Judge Campbell, the legal represen
tative of the Reading system, declared
his clients ready to concede that the
price of coal is about $5 per ton, and
that the price will Increase until $5.50
is reached.
Mr. Moot, attorney for Mr, Ollphant,
argued that, as they handled no coal
but from Its own mines, neither the
commission nor Congress had any au
thority to Investigate its prices. The
commission overruled the objection
Mr. Shern read from the record the
contract between J. J. Jermyn and the
Susquehanna Coal Company, made on
November 1, 1900. By that contract
the Jermyns agreed to sell the entire
products of their mines to the Susque
hanna & Western Coal Company at
certain prices, ranging from 50 per
cent of the tide water price realized
for pea coal to 65 per cent realized for
stove and chestnut coal. The com mis
son adjourned until tomorrow. .
WAR ON ARABS.
France Will Punish Rebels for Attacking
Governor deneral.
Benl-Ounif, Algeria, June 11. The
French artillery opened a preliminary
re at 6:30 o'clock this morning on
Figulg, the stronghold of the rebellious
Zenagama tribesmen, who recently at
tacked and tried to ambush Governor-
General Jonnart and his escort, of
whom 13 were seriously Injured. The
actual bombardment began at 7:30
o'clock and lasted until 11 A. M.. when
great destruction of houses had
been wrought. The mosque wad des
troyed and It is believed a great num
ber of natives were killed.
At 9:30 A. M. the French troops oc
cupied Juleve Hill and another emin
ence, both strategic positions, by a sur
prise movement. From these hills ex
cellent work was done, the melinite
shells making a big breach In the ram-
parti and destroying a multitude of
houses. Finally the Are was concen
tarted on the mosque, which was much
venerated and the edifice was blown
to pieces. At 11 o'clock the French
guns were withdrawn to Ennan-Ed-Dar,
where General O'Connor was
awaiting offers of submission when
this dispatch left. Throughout the en
gagement there was no loss of life on '
the French side. The French artillery
fired 600 shells at the town. At 3:30
this afternoon an envoy from the
Ameer of Figulg arrived at this place.
It is possible If the Figulg tribesmen
do not come to terms, other villages In
the oasis will be bombarded. The ex
pedition will rest tomorrow.
The bulk of the population of Flsru-:
Ig Is expected to be friendly to the
French, as neighboring tribes are as

tive expedition.

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
SURVEY OP P0RTAQE ROAD.
Engineer Hammond Will Oo Ahead With
Preliminary Work-.
The State Board of Portage Railway
Commissioners belt a conference with
A. E. Hammond, the engineer recently
selected to make a preliminary survey
of the route of the portage road be
tween The Dalles and Celllo. Mr.
Hammond was directed to proceed at
once with the survey, and be will do
so as soon as ae can organize a sur
veying parW.
His work , will1 ne to examine the
ground and , run preliminary lines
where the road will probably be con,.
structed. He will make plats and
charts showing all the topographical
conditions. He expects to be ready to
report to the board in about 30 days,
and until that time no further action
can be taken by the board.
Rich Find In Southern Oregon.
J. A. Whitman and J. D. Hard are
now In control of what promises to be
the biggest placer mining proposition
In Southern Oregon. The property is
located on Steve's Fork of Steamboat
Lake, and comprises some 880 acres
of mining ground, nearly all of which
prospects rich from grass roots to
bedrock." Some of the prospects ob
tained are so big that It is hard to be
lieve they were taken from Just a few
tans of dirt. The property was pur
chased from Messrs. Shearer, Lewis,
Armstrong & Scott, and the new own
era have already been offered an ad
vance of two and a half times the pur
chase price. The water supply is
abundant.
Lane Oats Will Be Short.
The effect of the recent hot wave is
unquestionably very dlsasterous to all
arrowing crops in Lane county, with
the possible exception of hops. Farm
ere have been complaining for two
weeks past about insufficient rain for
the grain crops, and this hot spell,
coming at this time, will have the ef
fect of cutting short the crop very ma
terially. There has been Insufficient
moisture for nutrition of growing
grains, and now the heat comes and
forces maturation without any possi
bility of growth. Wheat will undoubt
edly be cut short 25 per cent, and oats
50 per cent already, and the damage
will be even greater unless this spell
of heat Is followed by a soaking rain.
Will Cheapen Transportation.
The preliminary survey of the elec
tric road from Baker City to the John
Day country is about finished. Tho
route as laid out, commences at Bow-
en's ranch, not far from Batter City, and
xtends along Burnt River to the di
vide, and thence into the John Day
Valley. Prairie City, no doubt, will be
the destination for the present. It Is
considered by many that a far cheaper
route could have been selected, had
the survey been by way of Auburn
through the Sumpter Valley over to
Burnt River. Several miles of road
building could be saved as well as the
oad being laid out on an easier grade.
Rainier and St, Helens Want Seat.
Rainier and St. Helens have each
filed their petitions as candidates for
the relocated county seat. There are
76 names on the Rainier petition and
115 names on the one field by St. Hel
ens. CMskanie was the first town to
file a petition, having 125 names on
the document It is now a settled fact
that these three towns will be the only
candidates for the county .seat loca
tion to be voted on the first Monday in
July.
Good for Marlon Crops.
That crops have not suffered by rea
son of the recent hot weather is declar
ed by farmers, fruitgrowers and hop
growers in Marion county. Hops and
fruit, except strawberries, will be Im
proved by the heat of the last few
days. While the ground Is dry in the
hill country, and rain would be bene
ficial, the hot weather will do no dam
age unless it should continue several
days.
Shipping Cattle From Pendleton.
Fourteen carloads of cattle will be
hipped from Pendleton this month.
Fred Phillips will ship nine carloads
to Carstons Bros., of Seattle. He will
also ship five carloads to Kenewlck.
The stock brought $4.35 for good beef;
ome of the best brought a little better.
but not much. A month ago the price
was $4.75 and scarce at that. Now
here is plenty of cattle to be had at
$4.35.
To Resume Operation.
Operations at the Gold Bug Grizzly
group of claims in the Ibex district.
Eastern Oregon, will be resumed in
bout ten days. The machinery Is be
Ing overhauled and the pumps and
hoists put In shape for work. The
rhaft has filled up with water which
111 be pumped out Immediately, and
sinking of the shaft will commence as
soon as It is free from water.
Survey Excites Curiosity.
A Southern Pacific survey party is
operating between Mllwaukie and
Gladstone Park. Diligent Inquiry falls
to disclose the purpose of the survey.
It was leraned from a member of the
party that a route Is being established
from Mllwaukie, via Gladstone Park
and the Chatauqua grounds to Oregon
City.
Work on the Balsley-EIkbora.
Machinery and supplies are arriving
almost dally for the Balsley Elkhorn
mine in the Baker district A large
force of men has been engaged to
work on this property this season, and
from now on the plan Is to rush the
work of development as fast as possi
ble.
Work On Sumpter Water Plant.
Work on the Sumptef water works
will soon be commenced. The plant
111 be 600 horse power, and half of
this will be used In the electric plant
to light the city.
PAY FOR VETERANS.
Indian
War Claimants Can Now Get
Their Monty.
Secretary of State Dunbar has re
ceived 98 vochers for claims of Indian
War veterans and will begin issuing
warrants in payment of the same this
week. It Is believed that 800 claims
will be filed with the Adjutant-General,
and that 750 of these will be allowed,
In amounts averaging about $150 each
If this expectation shall be fulfilled
the total claims allowed will amount to
$112,500. The total appropriation It
$100,009, so that a deficiency of $12,500
is probable.
Under advice of the Attorney-Gen
eral Secretary of State Dunbar will
issue warrants for claims in the order
In which the vochers come to his office
and no In the order the claims are filed
with the Adjutant-General. All claims
will be paid In full as long as the
money lasts, and when the appropria
tion Is exhausted the Secretary of
State will issue certificates of allow
ance, which are recognized as legal
evidence of a valid claim against the
state. These certificates will not draw
Interest and must await an approprla
tlon by some subsequent Legislature
before they can be paid.

Worms Eat Yamhill Wheat.
The farmers In the vicinity of La
Fayette are becoming somewhat alarm
ed about their Fall-sown wheat. The
indication that there was something
wrong was that the grain was turning
red, and, upon closer examination a
dmall, red worm was found In or near
the first Joint of the stalk. Some will
cut their grain for hay, while others
claim the crop will not pay for the
harvesting, being so badly damaged.
These fears may prove to be greatly
exaggerated.
Getting Ready to Operate.
The Sumpter Lumber Company has
succeeded in floating all the eawloes
on Cracker Creek to the mill site just
south of town. The total amount put
In was over 1,000,000 feet The frame
for the new mill will soon be up, and
as soon as the logs at the old plant
are consumed the big mill will be ready
to be operated.

the Insulalre and the Llban passenger
steamers, belonging to the Fralssenet
oieamsnip company. in L,ioan left
Marseilles this morning on its regular
passenger trip to Bastia, Corsica, and
was run down and sunk by the Insu

' The collision was witnessed from the
pilot-boat Blechamp, which was about
two miles distant. The Blechamp Im
mediately repaired to the spot to ren
der assistance. '
. The force of. the collisionn had cut a
great bole in the Llban's side, and it
already was making watet rapidly
The captain saw that the only chance
was to run the steamer aground, and
the Llban was headed full speed for
the shore; but within 17 minutes afta;
the collision and while still in deer
water, the fore part of the steamei
plunged beneath the waves, and a few
minutes later had disappeared.
In the meantime the Blechamp, the
steamer Balkan, also belonging to the
Fralssenet Company, and other vessel
had drawn near the sinking ship and
were making desperate efforts to res
cue those on board. The Blechami-
picked up 40 persons, many of whon
were at the point of exhaustion. The
Balkan rescued 37 passengers and ur
to the present it Is known that in ad
dltion to the passengers, 17 of the
crew were also saved.
Officers of the steamer Balkan des
crlbe the scene just before the Llbar
disappeared as a terrible one. As the
vessel was sinking it was inclined tc
uch an angel that the masts strucl
the water, causing an eddy, making the
work of rescue most difficult. A masr
of human beings was clinging to the
foundering vessel and uttering despair
Ing cries as it went down.
At the same time the boilers ex
ploded, Intensifying the horrors. Foi
& few .moments the victims were seen
struggling In the sea, when the waves
closed over them and all was ' silent.
Of about 200 passengers who were
aboard the Llban, it was feared that
half were drowned.
CHILE ROW ALARMS.
United States His Ordered Warsnlps to
Valparaiso.
Washington, June 10. Upon the re
celpt of reports from American agents
tn Chile to the effect that the sltua
lion at Valparaiso is unsatisfactory
owing to the recent Solclallst disturb
ances there, the State Department thlr
afternoon requested the Navy Depart
ment to dispatch a ship to that point
in order that American Interests may
be fully protected in the event of an
emergency.
The Navy Department at first
thought of sending the entire Pacini
squadron from San Francisco, but ac
Rear-Admiral Glass has just brought
his ships to California waters for re
pairs, it was decided to orde Rear
Admiral Sumner, commanding the
North Atlantic station, to proceed at
once with his squadron now at Monte
video through the Straits to Valparai
so. Cable orders to this effect were
sent Admiral Sumner this afternoon
Orders were also telegraphed to Ad
mlral Glass to be ready for sea, anr1
in the event that Admiral Sumner's
fleet is unable to get under way at
once, the Pacific squadron may be or
dered to Chilean waters In Its stead.
Rear-Admiral Sumner's fleet consists
of the protected cruiser Newark, flag
ship; protected cruiser Detroit and the
gunboats Gloucester and Montgomery
Fishermen Declare Strike.

offered by- the canners Is unsatisfac
tory. Take the average number of
fish caught last season per boat. 1142

Plague Experiments Stopped.
Berlin, June 10. In consequence of
the death from plague at the Berlin
lospital of the young Vienna physician'
Dr. Milan Sachs, the government hat
decided to issue a decree forbidding
further experiments with plague
germs, the risk of spreading infection
being considered more dangerous to
the public health than the knowledge
gained In studying a deadly microbe
justifies. .
Rebels Were Routed.

KILL HARTS' PLAN
GOVERNMENT ENGINEERS HAVE NEW
CEL1L0 SCHEME.
They Favor a Ship Canal-Submerged
Dam Is Held to Be Impracticable
Work Will Now Be Held Up Until
1904 Major Langfltt Ordered te
Make Surveys.
Washington, June 10. The Board of
Army Engineers that recently, visited
the obstructions in the Columbia River
between The Dalles and Celilo, has de
cided to abandon the Harts plan for
opening of the rive rat that point,
and In lieu thereof will prepare nlans
and estlmales for a contluous ship ca
nal from the foot of the dalles rapids
to the head of Celllo Falls. The Harts
plan, as has been heretofore explained.
contemplated the construction of a sub
merged aam in the Columbia, with a
view to draining out Five Miin Raniri.
The river was then to be opened
around other obstructions by means of
two or three short canals.
ihe engineers, on their rerpnf frlr
io Oregon, visited the scene of the pro
posed improvement, and, after study
ing the natural conditions and sur
roundings, concluded, bv unanimous
vote, that tho dam proposition was al
together Impracticable. In the first
place, while Captain Harts proposed
constructing this dam at a point where
'.he river is but 200 feet wide, he sup
posed its dept was only 40 or 50 feet,
and so based the calculations. Major
Langfltt determined, after
soundings, that the depth was over
50 feet, and the velocity of the current
so great that It would be practically
impossible to place In position the ma
terial for the dam. The members of
the board concluded that a stream of
sufficient volume and great enough
current to cut a gorge 200 feet wide,
and of nearly the same depth through
solid rock, could not be dammed arti
ficially for anything nhort of an unwar
ranted sum, and they entertain grave
soubts whether a dam could ever be
successfully built there at any cost.
When they found that the keystone
of Harts' plan could not be considered,
ind determined that even a mnHiflna.
tlon of the Harts plan on a practical
basis, could not be carried out for the
amount that has been nnthnrWci fnr ,
this Improvement, the board datermln-
to prepare rough Diana and swtl.
nates for the construction nf onn.
tltiuous canal, extending around 111 the
obstructions between The Dalles and
Celilo.
In accordance with
tlon, the board requested authority for
the making of necessary eufvdvj rr
such a canal, and authority has been
granted, the work to be carried out un
der direction of Major Langfltt. At
this time the board will VPntlirfl tin
rough estimate of tho rflHr fit n rnn.
tluous canal, although an estimate
made by an old board nlarerl tho ei
at $10,000,000, whereas the Harts pro-
joi-i was estimated to cost approxi
mately $4,000,000. It Is by no means
assuered that the new ejiimntoa win
!e as high 88 the fnrmor So,,.,. .
he board, before reporting, will have
i comprehensive survey nnnn mi,
base its estimates, and a fairly accu
rate estimate of the cost of the im.
provements Is expected.
The board has not reported to the
Lnlef of Engineers, and probably will
not do so until It
estimate for a continuous canal. This
delay means that no work will be done
looking to the opening of the river
during the present season. Should the
war Department approve the board's
report in favor of a rnn tin linn ts onni
and this will unquestionably be done,
since there hag always been doubt as
to the thorough practicability of the
...iu pm, no worn can be undertaken
until Congress has authorized the new
project The last river and harbor bill
authorized the work, provided It could
be done within the estimate on the
Harts project, but not otherwise.
