A GIFT BY THE STATE.
Silver Service Presented to the Battle
ship Oregon.

Silver Service Presented to the Battle
ship Oregon.
Portland, Or. July 8.-The magnifi.
cent silver service secured by the cit.
izens of the state, as testimonial to
the battle-ship Oregon, was formally
presented by Governor Lord, on behalf
of the people, to Captain Albert G.
Barker, commanding the battle-ship
and representing the officers and crew
of the Oregon, yesterday afternoon at
the Armory.
The silver service was conspicuously
displayed on a large table, resting amid
the folds of an American flag. All the
naval and military officers we're in full
uniform.
A conspicuous feature of the cere-
mony was the presence OF 200 sailors,
taken from the crews of the two moni-
tors, now lying in the harbor. They
were clad in their summer dress suits
OF spotless white, and presented an ex-
ceedingly attractive appearance.
The battalion of sailors was drawn
up in line on the west side of the i'm
mense drill-room of the Armory, and,
as Governor Lord, with the committee
and naval and army officers, came in at
the main entrance, the shrill piping of
a whistle brought the line to present,
while the distinguished visitors and
others marched in the center of the
hall.
The presentation was made by Gov
ernor VIM. p. Lord. The response was
by Captain Albert @. Barker. COM
manding the battle-ship Oregon. When
he had finished his address, accepting
the testimonial, he was loudly ap-
plauded, and moment after the pre-
sentation ceremonies came to q close
with three rousing cheers for Oregon
and the flag. Immediately after the
floor was cleared of tables and chairs,
the silver service carefully cared for,
and the announcement made that the
battalion of sailors would give an ex-
hibition drill. This proved to be
great feature. The precision with
which the men responded to trumpet
orders astonished the spectators, and at
the close of each evolution the sailors
we're heartily applauded. Some Of the
movements were exceedingly graceful,
particularly the calisthenic exercise
with guns, and the admirable perform
ance was watched with the closest at.
tention.

WILL BE CoERCED.
Two American warships Are en- Route
to Tangier.

Now York, July "a special to the
Herald from Washington gays: The
emperor of Morocco is to be coerced by
American men-of-war in order that
punishment may be inflicted upon one
Of his subjects who assaulted an Ameri-
can citizen. The vessels are on their
way to Tangier. They are the San
Francisco, flagship, and the Raleigh.
The San Francisco is expected to reach
Tangier in few hours. The Raleigh
will arrive at her destination the latter
part of the week.
The orders of the San Francisco and
the Raleigh were the result of a request
received by the state department from
Consul General David N. Burke, sta
toned at Tangier. Mr.. Burke an
nounced that an American citizen had
been brutally assaulted; that he had
asked the Moorish government to ar
rest and punish the Americans assail-
ant, and that up to the present time
there were no indications that the re.
quest would be granted.

A Duty on Salmon.

Vancouver, B. c., July IA new
difficulty confronted the Fraser river
Gamers today by the announcement
that a duty of per cent per fish would
be charged on all salmon brought in
from the American side. AS most of
the Gamers have fishtraps at Point
Roberts, on the American side of the
line, the duty, if enforced, will be a
considerable item in the expenes of the
Gamers. 1t is claimed by the Gamers
that while they had no official notice
that the duty would not be charged,
verbal assurances were given both by
the local members of parliament and
officials OF the marine and fisheries de-
partment that such course would not
be adopted. They were highly indig-
uant at the action of the government.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Downing, Hopkins S Company's Review
of Trade.

Outside of some little manipulation
OF July options, markets were dull and
fairly steady last week. Spring wheat
in the Northwest is above the average,
both as to quality and acreage sown.
The whole Southwest from Kansas CITY
to Galveston is feeling elated over the
crop of winter wheat. The Kansas
hard wheat is of a fine quality. Texas
has a big crop.
Proctor Taylor, the well-known mil
Ter OF Quincy, Ill.,, and member of the
Chicago board of trade, has Just re-
turned from trip to Oklahoma, where
he has been to see for himself about
the likelihood of getting Il quantity of
soft red wheat for his mill. The result
OF his inquiries and observations on the
spot was, in his opinion, that Oklaho-
ma would raise between 10000, 900
and $4,000, 900 bushels of excellent
quality wheat unless his information is
largely astray on acreage. He saw
field threshed that yielded 43 bushels to
the acre, and returns of 30 and 38
bushels We're quite frequent. His OBJ
servatlon was confined 10 tho line Of tho
Santa Fe Railroad, an he said only the
best farmers-those having threshing
facilities of their own had yet
threshed their wheat, but withal he
came to the above conclusion as to the
total yield.
The Minneapolis Market Record of
June 2S says: The prospect for wheat
in the Northwest is not impaired dur
ing the past week. The growth is very
heavy and the head is forming. By
opening the straw it is found that the
heads are of unusual length. There is
nothing now in sight to prevent large
yield. 1t is to be borne in mind that
there is yet time for many accidents.
If no accident happens to it there
ought to be more than 200, 900, 900
bushels harvested in Minnesota and
the Dakotas. Allowing 90, 900, 900 for
the other spring states and about 30,-
000,000 of winter wheat, which is now
practically assured, and the outlook is
for crop for this country of 575, 5,OO0,-
900 bushels of wheat. The question of
price is also promising, for with the
small stocks to be carried forward, in
all countries, the new crop will go
more quickly into consumption and
leave small surplus to be carried over
to another crop.

Los Angeles, July 12.-An accident
occurred this evening at the zanja No.
z of the Los Angeles waterworks, just
beyond Ninth steret, whereby two men
lost their lives. David Scott and Da-
vid Rheinspild were working at the
point desingated attempting to fill a
washout which had occurred in the
ditch. Above them was an embank-
ment, under which they were excavat-
ing, intending that it should fall and
close the break. Without warning, the
embankmeunt gave way, burying the
men under tons of earth. The work of
rescue began at once, and in l2 minutes
the bodies were unearthed, but life was
extinct.

BURNED AT SEA.


DauOeS Coast.
New York, July S.-Seventeen shin
wrecked sailors who just arrived here
on the Prince line steamship Sandman
Prince. from South America and West
India ports, tell OF battle with that
most dreaded of all enemies at sea,
fire. The men embarked at Barbadoes,
having been forwarded from there by
the American consul. They belonged to
the American ship Belle of Bath which
was burned at sea ON June IS, about
$50 miles eastward of Barbados. Their
trip was one which they are never
likely to forget.
The Belle of Bath left this port
June ?, clearing for Hong Kong with a
cargo of case oil. All went well until
June 8, when the first weeks journey
was at an end, The ship was sailing
along in fairly good weather, when sud
denly it sprung leak. Captain Curtis
ordered all hands to the pumps prompt
ly. The water gained upon them
steadily, and every moment it looked
AS if the vessel would 90 to the bottom.
After 24 hours of constant work the
water was reduced in the hold, but the
leak could not be stopped, and the crew
worked in relays for nine days pumping
the water out
When the men were almost exhausted
on Friday afternoon and some of them
were on the verge of collapse the cry of
"tire" rang through the ship. First
Mate Cod detected little clouds of smoke
coming from the forecastle, and quickly
sounded the alarm. Captain Curtis,
who was below, snatching a few min
utes' sleep, sprang on deck and ordered
the matches closed down. In a few
minutes dense clouds of smoke were is
suing from the forecastle, accompanied
by flames. The fire was shooting high
in the air, and famed by breeze, was
threatening the whole ship.
Captain Curtis realized at once that
his ship VISA doomed, and that to en-
deavor to fight the fire would be useless
and dangerous. Boats were hastily pro-
visioned. The order was given by the
captain to lower them at once. With
marvellous rapidity the flames spread
all over the ship, and the men were
forced to make haste to get into the
boats. The boats dropped away to lee
ward, and the men were put to the
oars and rowed away to a safe distance.
By this time the ship was blazing
furnace. The flames had reached the
oil and burst out from every part of the
vessel. When the flames had eaten
their way into the hold tremendous
explosion was heard. The decks of the
ship flew up and the sides burst, and a
great body of smoke and fame filled
the air. 1t took perhaps half an honr
to finish the work. When the smoke
died away the men in the yawl could
see the Belle of Bath had been burned
to the waters edge.
A heavy sea was running, and with
every sweep of the oars the little life
boat was in imminent danger of being
swamped. Under light canvas 1870
miles were made, and after "a hours
struggling in the rough waters, land
was sighted. 1t was early Sunday
morning. and the crew uttered prayer
for their escape.
