TARTAR DETAINED. Hong Kong Authorlti«. Say I. Ov.rvrowd.d, Will Embark, at Portland Direct for Manila. ROOT CVERFÎULES JHAFTER He Flui« TV ut Thur» ar. Ko nh.tarlri In th« IV«) of Troopship« Contins 17« Ih« Columbia Ittv«r, Washington, Sept. 16.—Secretary Root emphatically overruled General Shatter today, in determining that the Thirty-fifth should embark for Manila at Portland, unless there was unsur* mountable obstacles. These lie could not find in the reports from Shafter and the quartermasters. The pleas about length of time and impossibility of sending ships were considered by the secretary as inade­ quate. Two transport ships can be sent up the Columbia, and he eaw no reason why they should not sail from Portland direct for Manila. As the ships could not return to the United States in time to carry other troops to Manila, the delay, even if it was all the opposition claimed, was unimpor­ tant, in the opinion of the secretary. The transports will be fitted out at San FranciBco with everything except what the regiment carries. When the troops come to Portland, they will bo allowed to parade in the city before they embark. This will bedetermined by the commanding officer. The secretary felt that all Portland and Oregon had done for the country, entitled them to favorable considers tion of the request for the embarkation of troops at the Oregon metionolis. Representative Tongue has tele­ graphed Secretary Root saying the Ore­ gon, chartered by the government, could be used for the transportation of troops. The department say6 the Ore­ gon has not been chartered. McGraw and Parry tried to get Seat­ tle made a port of embarkation for troops, but were told at the wat de­ partment that a few more animals might be shipped from the Sound, but no more troops. THEY WANT PROTECTION Natives Praying for the Arrival of the A mericans. Washington, Sept. 16.—Mail advices received at the war department from Manila state that the natives of the island of Samar are praying for the speedy arrival of the Americans and will welcome the hoisting of the American flag. It is said that, as a result of the forcible collection of taxes by the emissaries of the insurgents, who take all they have got, the natives are in a state of semi-starvation. They have no faith in the Tugale, and they earnestly desire American protection. An insurgent leader, General Luz- ban, has bolted to Japan, taking with him *2,600 collected by him for the insurgents. The agents of the insurgents endeav­ or to force the natives to join their forces, which they will not do. The condition of the island, it is asserted, is rapidly approaching riot and an­ archy, as the heavy and continued drag upon the natives In tho form of tribute exasperates them, and they, as the let­ ter says, threaten despeiatedisturbance if it continues. Antl-Miaaionary Biota in Chinn. San Francisco, Sept. 16.—A special from Tacoma says: Telegraphic ad­ vices have been received at Shanghai announcing that several British mis­ sionaries have been driven out of the -city of Paongan, situated 160 miles across the border in Audone province. Thibet. Over 3,000 Lamas reside there, the inajoiity of whom joined the anti-for­ eign demonstration and drove the mis- eonaries out. The latter included Mr. and Mrs. Shields and Mrs. Macbeth. For several weeks previous to the final riot the missionaries were compelled to stay in doors. Details are not knows, farther than that the mission was de* ¿atyoyed a«««« and the mi«.,«, missionaries barely /thl&caped by journeying ’ secretly at night. Near Ichang and Chun King an anti* ~ Catholic uprising has been caused by kidnaping of children bv wandering gypsies. A number uf native Catholics have been killed. Venezuela Revolution Spreading. New York, Sept. 16.—News of th» progress of the Venezuelan revolution has been received by a prominent South American, by mail, in this city, from the vice-militiry committee in charge of the affairs of the rebels. This committee is located now on on» of the West Indian ielands, and con- •ists of five generals. In bis letter, which is dated Septem­ ber 3, the wrifer says that the revolu­ tion is progressing rapidly, and ha» spread to all parts of tire republio. The letter further etates that in Coro, the whole state is in arms, and that General Castro with an army of 6.000 men. left Valera on August 19, and on August 26 annihilated the government forces at Caroca under Torres. It is reported, according to the writer, that Castro pursued the government troops to Barquisimeto and captured that town. _______________ Thronfh Dlxmnl Swamp Canal i Chicago, Sept. 16.—A special from Norfolk, V«., says the torpedo boat Talbot will shortly be given a spin through the recently opened Dismal swamp canal, which will form an im­ portant link in the system of inland water ways that in time of war ar» expected to afford safe passage for tor­ pedo boats and other small craft unabl» to cope with a hostile fleet. On tbia trip the Talbot's newly installer) petro­ leum fuel furnace will be given ■ ■ l i test. I | I Transport New York, Sept. 15.—A dispatch to the World from Hong Kong says: The United States trauspoi t Tartar, which expected to sail today, has been detained by the haibor authorities un­ der the British merchant shipping act, whereby her capacity is limited to 750 passengers, although the Tartar has a licensed capacity of 1,280. Consul Wildman, representing the United States govenrment. who took the matter at once before the local gov­ ernment authorities, maintained that the Tartar is an American troopship, although she is flying the British flag, and is nut subject to the merchant shipping act. The authorities have been discussing the matter all day, and it is very probable that 450 of the sol­ diers on board will be detained when she is finally permitted to sail for San Francisco. Several of the discharged soldiers on board the Tartar tiled the complaints as to her unsanitary condition, which staited the proceedings to detain the vessel. THE TARTAR CLEARED.

Bradstreet’« says: With compara­ tively little stock or other spoculativ* activity, and with tew strong new fea­ tures presenting themselves, the gener­ al business of the country goes forward at a good pace, and with unprecedented volume for this period of the year. Fall trade activity would appear to bw at ita maximum, judging from advice» of activity and strength of demaud re­ ported alike from Western and Eastern markets, and shared in also by most. South Atlantic and interior Southern cities. Iron ami steel are quiet but very strong at the East. Little improvement seems to be noted in wheat though the government report was temporarily stimulating. Weather conditions are partly responsible for the better demand for butter. Tira strength of cotton goods is notable. Lumber retains all ita old strength and some new buying is resjarnsible for ad­ vanced quotatons at several oentera. This is true also of most building ma­ terials with the exception of brick which is rather weak owing to reported over production. Wool is firmer at all and higher at some markets and much interest is taken in the next London wool sales. Wheat (including flour) shipments for the week aggregate 4,000,000 bush­ els against 4,858,903 bushels last week 8,675,291 bushels in the corresponding week of 1898, 6,299,948 bushels in 1897, 5,966,852 bushels in 1896, and 2,892,259 bushels in 1895. Sinoe July 1, this season, the export» of wheat aggregate 42,012,798 bushels, against 36,469,091 bushels last year, and44,6O2,7OO in 1897.

This right of wav was purchased some months ago by the company at a time when the big railroad fight began. For many years it was considered that the middle fork of the Clearwater provided the only approach to the pass through the Bitter Roots, and when the Northern Pacific deelaied ite intention of building the Butte cut-off, it is said the O. R. & N. hastened to appropriate the right of way along the middle fork. Another explanation of this move on the part of the Oiegou company is tliat the Bur­ lington line has intentions of soon ex­ tending its lines west from Billings, Mont., and that the O.
