YACHT A SUCCESS,
The Lucero Behaves Well on a
Forty-Mile Trial Run
From Astoria.
Ready to Undertake the Voyage From
the Columbia River to San
Francisco.

ASTORIA, Or, Nov. 23.-After weeks of
repairing and experimenting with the en-
gnes, Charley Fairs $4,000 toy gasoline
yacht, the Lucero, is ready to undertake
the voyage from the Columbia River to
San Francisco. On Thursday the me-
chanics believed their work to have been
finished, and the Lucero was taken out for
a spin. but run Of few miles developed
defects which necessitated returning to
the machine-shop wharf, where work on
the engines was resumed.
On Friday morning the machinery was
declared to be in condition for another
trial trip, and the yacht started down the
bay, having on board an invited party of
Captain Hughes friends.
The trial trip yesterday was a con-
tinuous run of over four hours, covering
distance of about forty miles, running at
different speeds and giving the engine q
complete test.
The run included going out to the bar.
which was smooth, but with a good
ground swell on, but the Lucero was
stanch and strong, slipping through the
swells without Iaboring a particle. The
Lucero is not the same boat that was
towed in over the bar in disabled condi-
ton few weeks ago.
1t has generally been considered by
marine architects and engineers ana even
by the builders of gasoline engines that
60.foot naphtha launch was about the limit
of size where liquid fuel was to furnish the
propelling power. Mr.. Fair. however.
with broader ideas, has certainly succeeded
in getting 110-foot gasoline yacht.
The plans were principally of the owners
own design, he taking as a model the
transatlantic liner City of Paris. The
yacht has been delivered to him, and, add
ing the salvage of the steamer George w.
Elder, which picked the disabled Lucero
up off the Columbia river and lowed it
into Astoria, and the cost of repairs at that
point to the original cost of $25 900, his
gasoline investment must stand him $780,,

CROWDS ENGAGE PASSAGE,
Hundreds of Oregonians Take
Advantage of Cut.Rate

Trains and Steamers for San Francisco
Loaded With Prospective
Sightseers.

PORTLAND, Or, Nov. 90. - Not in
twenty years has there been such a great
volume of travel between here and San
Francisco and vice versa as since the re-
cent Inauguration of the rate war between
the Oregon Railway and Navigation Com
pany and the Southern Pacific. Much of
this travel is INDUCED in merely for the
trip, because it is 50 uncommonly cheap,
by persons never having seen the cities at
the other end OF the journey.
In the past week more than 1000 old Ore
gOnians have gone to San Francisco, most
of them not having been there since the
fourishing days of the What Cheer"
House on Sacramento street. The average
daily number of departures for San Fran
cisco in the past ten days has been about
800, and the arrivals from there the same.
The Southern Pacific had made special
arrangements 10 accommodate all who wish
to go to San Francisco by rail. Tomorrow
evening the train will leave Portland at
10 o'clock-iust two hours after the steamer
Columbia sails. A great many tirst-class
and second-class tickets have been sold and
sleepers reserved at the $40 and $5 respect
lively.
The steamship Columbia will doubtless
carry away the largest number of passen-
gers in its history. AT 3 o'clock yester-
day afternoon every first class berth
had been sold. The company has
made ample provisions and will place
about 100 cots in the cabin and salons to
accommodate those who may wish to go
first class. There are 100 beds in the steer
age, and more will be added if required to
swell the mum Der to 200 second class.
Should no compromise be reached soon
by the opposition transportation COM
panies it is certain that the steamship
company will have to double its carrying
facilities.

PHILLIPSBURG,W w. Va, NOV. pa
force of men getting out building stone at
large quarry at the Carpenter farm,
short distance below this place, yesterday
accidentally discovered mammoth cave
that promises to yield the owner of the
property handsome income. The farm
is now in charge of Howard Richards, who
is trying to negotiate for the purchase OF
the place from the original owner. The
men were getting ready to blast, when one
of their number struck crowbar with con-
siderable force on what seemed to be a
hard piece OF stone. 10 his surprise tne
bar went clear. through and disappeared
entirely. This led to investigation and the
uncovering OF the cave.
AS far as The research has gone the
chamber opened up is nearly l5O feet long
and seems to be divided into numerous
circular and oblong shaped rooms, one OF
which has something in it that looks like
petrifed wood. Pieces have been removed
and will be submitted to scientific test to
determine its character. There are caverns
extending in divers directions that have
not yet been explored. From some of them
there is rush of air, as though they
might have surface opening.
Stalactites and other crystal formations
Sre numerous and some of them are very
large and beautiful. Severai specimens
have been secured and sent to Philadel-
phia for examination. Quite quantity of
bones have been found. and one that re-
sembles a human skull has been I'M
earthed. The cave will be thoroughly ex-
amined by an exploring party. with view
to learning it's dimensions, its contents
and its connection, if any, with the out
side world. Richards will not allow any
one to enter the cave until after the ex-
ploring party makes its report.

CLIFTON MAYKE'S FATE.
Sentenced BY Los Angeles Judge to
twenty-five Years imprisonment at
San Quentin

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Nov. 23.-Clifton
+. Mayne, who was convicted of crime
against his Ii year old ward. Elsie
Shipton, was to-day sentenced by Judge
Smith to serve twenty-five years in San
Quentin. The Judge, after denying the
m otlon for new trial. took occasion to
lecture Mayne in most scathing manner
for fifteen minutes, condemning his heinous
offense, calling attention to the cold de-
liberation that had marked the carrying
out OF bis nefarious plans for wrecking the
lives of two innocent children, expressing
the hope that his past history was not
marked by similar crimes, and stating that
he believed the sensational affidavit made
by Della Shipton was false.
Mayne took the sentence very coolly,
and will endeavor to get stay of judg-
ment pending an appeal to the Supreme
Court. The severe sentence meets with
general appreciation.

WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator Tur-
pie and his daughter spent to-day in Balti-
more, where they attended religious service
twice. Mr.. Turpie intends leaving for home
on next Tuesday. He is overrun with APP
plications from Hoosien Democrats for
small offices, and thinks that departure
from Washington will be the only way to
escape from daily tour of the departments
looking for crumbs of patronage. AS
matter of fact other Senators are picking
up little appointments here and there for
constituents almost every day, the secre-
taries of the departments making places for
Senators who are earnest by simply re-
moving the appointees of those Representa-
tives who were defeated for reelection and
who last week left Washington forever.
Every day sees changes of this kind made.
and it Is matter of some comment that
neither of the Indiana Senators appear to
have interest or influence enough to or
tain some of this patronage. Mr.. Noor-
hees, too, is besieged by applications for
small places, such as are being daily given
to other Senators. Mr.. voorhees, will leave
the city about the end of this month. He
will stop briefly at Terre Haute before go
ing to the Hot Springs.
