Mil IH MI LOST Vreeked in Norton Sound While on Short Voyage. ELEVEN PERSONS ON BOARD Search* for the Ml««lng Ha« Been Cn • uceeanful—Mau ricked Up at Sea In an Open Boat. Port Townsend,Oct. 24.—T. Adney, a Correspondent of Harper’s Weekly, who arrived here Wednesday from St. Mi chaels on the steamer Roanoke, brings news of the probable loss of the small steamer Abbie Rowe in Norton sound. The steamer had on board 11 persons, composing the Abbie Rowe party, of Boston. The party left St. Michaels September 11 for Chignick mission, lo cated on Golofrim bay, about 85 miles north of St. Michaels. Barring acci dent, they should have reached theii destination in three or four days. Dr. Brigham and wife, Mrs. Rowe, Miss Blaine and another woman, mem bers of the party, considered the Abbie Rowe incapable of weathering a severe storm, and took passage on a schooner which left a few days before the steam er for Chignick mission, where they were to meet the remainder of the party. After vainly waiting for some time, Captain William A. Taylor, late en gineer of the revenue cutter Bear, and M. F. Melsing, formerly of San Fran cisco, began a search for the missing steamer in the yacht Edith. They fol lowed the coast to St. Michaels with out success. Just before the Roanoke left St. Mi chaels, Adney says, a party arrived from the north with a story to the effect that the Indians had reported a small steamer wrecked, stating that they saw a small crowd of men on the beach around a fire. It was generally believed that this must have been the party from the Abbie Rowe. Adney also reports that while search ing for the missing vessel Captain Tay lor and Melsing picked up a man in an open boat several miles at sea. The man had been without food or water for several days, and was near to death. He was Sterling Martin, of Chicago, who was left adrift on a barge which was being towed from St. Michaels to Golofrinr bay by the steamer Fortune Hunter, with a Chicago party on board. The Fortune Hunter was caught in a storm and was forced to cut the barge loose. Several days afterward the For tune Hunter was picked up by the steamer Tillamook in a waterlogged condition. An unsuccessful search was made for Martin. After being cut '»loose from the Fortune Hunter, the barge foundered, and Martin put to sea in a smal boat. STORY OF THE WAR. Tragic Ending of a South Dakota Vol unteer's Romance. St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 24.—A special to the Republic from Deadwood, S. D., I says: Albert Martin, a lancher living | near the Cheyenne river in Ziebeck I county, enlieted as a volunteer at the .beginning of the war and fought at the battle of El Caney. After the battle jhe met Ramona Perez, the daughter of i lan officer of Garcia’s command, and they became sweethearts. Soon after ward he was attacked by fever and sent home on sick leave. He was engaged before his departure for the war to the daughter of a neigh boring ranchman, and arranged to be married while home on hie leave of absence. Meanwhile the Cuban girl had learned of his illness and that he , had gone home, and she resolved to fol low and nurse him. Dressing in her brother’s clothes, she crossed to Ja maica and secreted herself on a fruit steamer bound for New Orleans. Reach ing there she tramped and beat her way to Hermosa, S. D. When she reached there she learned of her lover’s | approaching marriage, and the shock drove her insane. At the same time the American girl i learned of her lover’s flirtation, ami broke off the engagement. Martin be gan drinking heavily and disappeared. A few days ago his body was found floating in the Cheyenne river. Whether he fell in while intoxicated or committed suicide is a matter of con jecture. ATTITUDE U N C HANG E D.

According to French papers there were important naval experiments at Toulon last even ing. A flotilla of totpedo-boats was detai led to make an endeavor to force the entrance of the harbor and the whole garrison was called to arms and forts and batteries were manned ready for instant action. The result of tho experiments has not been made public. Vice-Admiral Barrea presided yes terday at a secret council of war at Brest, in which the chiefs of the mari time forces took part. Confidential orders were subsequeutly issued to the gariison. Aurore asserts that five vessels of the naval reserves around Brest have been ordered to hold themselves in readiness for active service. M. Del Case, minister of foreign affairs, has ordered that the report of Major Marchand, as to the situation at Fashoda, which is expected at Cairo tonight, be telegraphed textually. Ow ing to its probable length it is expected that at least 48 hours will be required to reduce it to the French cipher code at Cairo and to translate it in Paris.

A scheme is on foot to construct a logging road about three miles in length from the head oi Gray’s liver, Oregon. It will be operated by A. L. Saldren, who has in operation a simi lar road at Clatskanie, and will tap a district of 5,000 acres of spruce timber belonging to C. H. Green, of Saginaw, Mich. The new association does not con template any general regulation of coast lumber values. Its aims are simply to control the situation at San Francisco, where the trade Iras been for some time in a badly demoralized condition. Puget Sound values, foreign trade or other departments of the lum ber business, are not affected. Henry Miller, of Cathlamet, Wash., has contracted to furnish the North Pacific mills, at Portland, over 2,000,- 000 feet of spruce and fir logs this sea son.

According to the Lumberman there is a good field on the coast for a small 1 turpentine factory. There are two ’ species of wood rich in turpentine and ; allied porducts, Douglas fir and "bull” j pine, wood alcohol, pitch and other so-called naval products. The yield is by no means as large as the pitch pin« of the South, but there is certainly room for a factory that will utilize the «tumps and refuse of pitch-hearing trees on the coast. Harvesting in the Palouse country j has >>een completed. Every threshing machine lias pulled in, and the haul- j ing of grain to different shipping points will be finished by Novemlier 1, or per haps a little loonst. So far this season, the total shipment of new wheat has not exceeded 275,001) bushels, most of this lieing to Spokane for milling, and to the Sound. Since the completion of harvesting, farmers and giaindealera have concluded that the crop of this year is the largest ever hat vested in the Palouse oountry. WEEKLY MARKET LETTER. [Reported by Downing, Hopkins & Co., Inc.r Board of Trade Brokers, 711 to 71* Chamber of Commerce building, Portland, Oregon.) Tho wheat trader’s success last week depended upon the direction in which lie happened to be faced. If he looked toward the west he made no money out of the market. The influence of the largest primary receipts on record kept him off the buying side. He was lucky if lie resisted the temptation to put out a short line. The operator who kept his eye on the seaboard was the lucky one. He saw there the largest exjsjrt engagements ever known, about a mil lion wheat a day. If he did not have some money to the good at the close Saturday night it was because he has no aptitude for the opportunities. Chicago was incliend to be skeptical of the export figures. It was not doing much itself, but the man who was closest to the shipping position knew that Duluth was, quality and freights considered, cheaper than this maiket. and that the seaboard ulso hail grain of its own bought on cheap freights that could be sold ahead of Chicago offer ings. Tiie best export authorities agreed as to enormous sales abroad. Consequently there is no room for de nial or for pretense that it is largely a matter of exaggeration. Lobrke, whose word is to be accepted in this matter, in an interview yesterday, said the business accomplished during the past fortnight was on a scale probably never exceeded. This authority, when asked as to the probable permanency of the foreign demand, in an interesting ex planation showed how the foreigners themselves were so uncertain of the sit uation they were not venturing to specu late any on the bull side. The wheat price this year is to be a matter of mood—the mood of the farm er the world over. If it were to be de cided by the facts as to supplies, the bull, to have any success, would need to make his purchases on the very weak days. Every authority is agreed that the world’s harvest last season was the fulles. ever known, and with that alone in mind the speculator might make comparisons with the low prices of tiie other years of great crops.
