0AKLAHD'S CREW MAY
 HAVE BEEN PICKED UP
 6Y THE LAURA MAY.
Unusually Large Number Of Men Seen on the Little Schooner 6y Passing
 PiIof

ASTORIA. Or, Dec. 31.-What prom ises to be the solution of the disap- pearance of the officers and crew of the bark Oakland, wrecked near Cape Flattery recently, has just been brought to light. The two schooners which arrived in the lower harbor on Thursday were the Laura May and the Jewell. They anchored near Sand Island, the Jewell being still in the harbor, but when they dragged their anchors, as reported on Thursday, the Laura May, being nearest the mouth of the river and unable to get under control, drifted out to sea again, and was not seen in the offing to-day.
 Shortly before these schooners dragged their anchors the German ship Henrietta came in. in charge of Pilot Malcolm, and anchored in the lower harbor. Malcolm reported that as the May was drifting out he count ed eleven men on her deck. She carries a crew of only three or four men, and he thinks it probable she picked up the men from the Oakland. Malcolm, who was outside for a week, says the weather has been very nasty. Three days ago they passed an American ship, south bound, under full sail, name unknown.
 The German ship Henrietta, Captain Seemann, from Yokohama on Novem- Der 22, barely saved her charter by ar irving up from the lower harbor be- fore o'clock tonight. The captain says he was thirteen days off the mouth of the river and was very much alarmed when he was anchored below on Thursday night. He had a rough but uneventful voyage.
 The British ship Drumburton, Cap tain Squirting, which sailed from Swansea, Wales, on July 8, with a car go of coal and coke, arrived in yester- day afternoon. The captain reports a rough voyage, with every variety of weather. In the lower Pacific he spoke a Norwegian bark bound from Panama to the Sound.
 The big tug Fearless, Captain Glenn Randall, arrived from San Francisco to-day and has been placed in service here in place of the Relief, which will proceed to San Francisco on Monday for repairs. The Fearless is perhaps the finest tugboat on the Pacific Coast, with the possible exception of the Can adian tug Lorne.

ENGLAND'S IRON HAND
 Is SHOWN
Continued from First Page.

state of public feeling in the Mikado's empire over the complications of the Far East, centering in China, is shown by the last press advices received here from Japan. That the Government it. self has an eye to the gravity of the question is shown by a statement of the Prime Minister, made in the course of reply to a delegation. He said
 With affairs tending toward dan gerous developments, as is now the case in the East, we shall not hesitate to ask the Diet for 30, ,0OO, GOO yen, or even 40,000,000 if necessary
 This was said only a short time be- fore the Premier was forced to resign because of public feeling that the Cabinet was too weak to deal with the descent of the European powers upon China and the probable dismember- ment of the latter country.
 The Jijo Simpo, the most influential paper in Japan, contains a scathing arraignment of Germany's course, declaring the occupation of Kiaochau shows that the laws and tenets of in- ternational morality have ceased to be anything more than spacious pretense with European powers and that the rule by which their conduct is really regulated is the flesh of the weak is the food of the strong After declar- ing that Germany has thrown off the mask and has taken the lead of the western powers in the struggle to de- vour China, the paper adds, as to the attitude of Japan:
 "The confiagration is on the other side of the river, but the river is a narrow one, and the sparks may easily fly across. The lesson for Japan is that a country's security depends solely on its strength to resist aggression, and that aggression has come to her own gates. It will not suffice that she should be merely on the defensive. To preserve what one already has it is sometimes necessary to add more. A crisis in the Orient now confronts Japan, and her undivided strength must be devoted to guarding against the perils that menace her"
 The Nichi Nichi Shimbun takes a similar view, declaring that it is a part of the plan Of encroachment of Euro pean nations upon the East. It adds for Japan that it has the greatest in- terest at stake in these operations, and must prepare herself for the emer- gency.
 The Nippon says the crisis calls for a resolute foreign policy by Japan, and ayers that nothing tends to impair am- ity more than tame submission to fn- suit and wrong. The course of Ger many is arraigned as a fragrant viola tioon Of international law.
 The Sohuo declares that the time for the partition of the Chinese empire has arrived and adds:
 What shall Japan do? Shall she join

BRANDISHED A REVOLVER
Novel Meops Employed by Berke- ley LuDdlord to Collect
 Rent.

BERKELEY, Dec. 31.-John Hart of 2219 Dana street tried to collect rent from Mrs. Margaret c. Sullivan and her son Charles at the point of a re- volver yesterday, and in consequence the warlike landlord is under S2000 bonds to answer a charge of assault with deadly weapon.
 Hart was formerly janitor of the mechanical building at the university. Yesterday he demanded $4S of the Sul- livans for the premises, 2417 Allston way. The Sullivans rendered SPA, claiming that was all they owed. Hart swore that they should pay the $4S before moving a stick of furniture from the house, but the Sullivans were equally determined and started to move their belongings. An express man was called, but when he attempt ed to move the furniture Hart drew and began to brandish revolver. Mrs. Sullivan immediately set out to secure a warrant, and soon Hart was arrested and taken to jail. Later he secured his release on bonds to the amount of $2O00, furnished by W. F. Woodsun and D. O. Kane.
 In the meantime Mrs. Sullivan had again sent for the expressman, and the moving proceeded without further interruption. Hart's case will come up before Justice Gift next week.
