EEDER BACK AGAIN.
The Vessel Made Record Breaking
Round Trip.

$50 Round Trip. rf
Portland. July 1.-The steamer Geo.
W. Elder tied up at the Ainsworth dock
at 8 O'Clock last night, ater a voyage
of nine days from Nome City, having
made the round trip, including five
days lay-over in Dutch Harbor and six
days discharging cargo at Cape Nome,
IN 81 days. She brought 13 passengers,
none of whom report that they struck
it very rich. Her trip is the quickest
on record. Two days before the de-
parture of the Elder, the Nome City
arrived off the beach. and Captain
Randall, of the Elder, believes she
will be in Portland again in about 10
DAYS. --.=..,.~f
The Elder took up 325 passengers,
mostly from Portland, and landed them
with their belongings safely on the
beach. The o. R. & N. Go. had made
lightering arrangements, which ems
abled the Elder to get quick dispatch,
and she was much better off in this
respect than many OF the other, steam :
ers. Five chips reached Nome before
she did. the first of them being the
San Bias. The stampede to Topkuk,
the new district where it is reported
that $45, 700 was taken out, was at its
height when the Elder was IN port and
another find was reported at Port Clar-
ence, up the beach in the direction of
Kotzebue sound. The day before the
Elder sailed miner came to Captain
Randall and offered to guarantee him
800 passengers at $40 head for run
to this new field. He failed to return
again to make good his guarantee, and
the captain did not wait for him.
Money is plentiful, wages and meals
high. Great difficulty was exper-
fenced by many of the vessels in get
ting men to handle the cargoes, and
much delay has been experien ced on
this account. Many of the crews of
the boats Jumped" as soon as they
reached the beach, and here again the
Elder was fortunate as she lost only
tour men by desertion three of whom
were from the c4bin where they were
not missed owing to the few passengers
carried on the return trip. Smallpox
broke out on the steamship Ohio which
took up 700 people from Seattle, and
she went into quarantine at Eg;
island. She was still there when the
Elder left. Other steamers which
were at Dutch Harbor at the same time
with the Elder came struggling in after
her arrival at Nome having been de-
layed at Dutch Harbor by the difficulty
of getting coal. The price is $l2 a
ton which all the captains were more
than willing to pay. as they could not
get along without coal. There is q
great abunance in the yards at Dutch
Harbor but only q limited force of men
to handle it.

The Japanese Laborers Want Contracts
AnnulIed.
Honolulu, June 18, via San Fran
cisco, June 30.-A series of strikes has
been inaugurated by Japanese laborers
on several of the islands. 1t is report
ed that the Japanese have been told
that they are free American citizens
now and that the American laws pro-
vide that no workingman shall receive
less than s. day. The laborers de-
mand the cancellation of their con-
tracts, and that the plantations shall
pay each individual laborer the $3.50 a
month, which, by the terms of the con-
tract. are to be paid to the immigration
companies, in consideration sof the
companies having brought the laborers
to the islands and guaranteeing his SER
vices during the contract period, or to
replace him if he deserts. So far as
the $3.50 per month is concerned, the
plantations aIe willing to accede to the
demands of the laborers, 1t is stated.
but they are not willing to consider the
contracts as having been annulled by
the territorial Law. A delegation sent
to the Association of Maui by the Jap
anese immigration companies received
violent treatment from the strikers,
and they were forced to return to Hon.

New Industry Has Been Secured for
b. Newberg, Or.
Newburg, Or, July 4.-This evening
closed the last day of the time given
Newberg and Yamhill county to secure
the $500. 900 beet sugar factory offered
by Eastern capitalists on condition oi
the pledging of 5,100 acres of sugar
beets and the donation of factory site.
This day has seen a great effort pnt
forth, and the result tonight is that
5000 acres has been definitely pledged
and the money is on hand to pay fol
the factory. y
An immense mass meeting was held
in Crater's hall this afternoon, which
was addressed by Governor Geer. The
hall was densely packed. and crowds
went away, unable to get in. The gov
ernor gave very practical and encour-
aging address, which was we'll re-
ceived. He dwelt upon the undeyel-
oped possibilities of the state and
pointed out the necessity of such man
ufacturing concerns as the beet sugar
industry for building up the industrial
prosperity of Oregon. Such an enter
prise, he said, would bring more peo-
pie, and more people Oregon must have.
Governor Geer emphasized the fact
that our country is wheated to death,
and our only salvation is diversified in
dustry. He referred to the prosperity
which exists in the beet-raising sec-
tions of the East land in Union county,
of our state, as an example of what this
enterprise will do for Newberg, Yam
hill and Oregon. Other enthusiastic
peeches were made by local orators.
At the close of the meeting subscrip-
tions were taken for acreage. Con-
tracts have been signed and reported
for 100 acres. A public meeting was
held in McMinnville today, and tele-
phone message received here states that
several hundred acres were taken
there. The committee canvasslng for
subscriptions for the site has the total
amount subscribed from Newberg's
citizens alone. The sugar factory for
Newberg is now assured.
The site obtained consists of 50 acres
here on the bank of the Willamette
river. es@Ss

Two Hundred Lost.

New York, July 4.-The losses sus
tanned in the fire by the North German
Lloyd Steamship Company in Hoboken
yesterday, are tonight conservatively
placed at nearly $40, ,OO0,O 900, and the
loss of life, merely guesswork at even
this late hour, will reach probably as
high as 200, and there are over 800
men in the hospitals in this city, Ho-
boken and Jersey City, badly burned.
Up to ii O'Clock tonight 18 bodies
have been recovered. Eleven of these
were placed in a row at the morgue in
this city and numbered, this being the
maintaining any sort of identity over
the corpses, as they are SO badly
charred and dismembered that identi-
fication will be made only by trlnkets
OF pieces of clothing that were found
about them. The only way the steam
ship officials have of approximating the
loss of life is by comparing the list of
those reported safe with the list of the
employees on the steamships.
Late tonight Gustav Schwab, the
general agent of the North German
Lloyd line, gave out list showing
what men on each vessel had been
missing up to that hour. On the
Saale 255 men were employed, and
only 127 of these had been accounted
for up to IL O'Clock, leaving 128 men
actually employed as officers, sailors,
stewards, engineers. coalpassers, oilers
and trimmers to be accounted for.
The Bremen had 204 men aboard, but
only 127 of these have been found. The
Main had 1877 employees on aboard at
the time, and Of these only 27 have
been reported safe.

New York, July 4.-Over $40, ,000,.
600 worth of property was destroyed,
many lives lost, many persons were
injured. and at least 1900 lives i'm
periled by a fire that started among
cotton bales under pier No. of the
North German Lloyd Steamship Com
pany, in Hoboken, N. j., at 4 O'Clock
this afternoon. In less than Is min
otes the flames covered an area of a
quarter of a mile long, extending out
ward from the actual shore line to the
bulkheads, from 600 to ], ZOO feet away,
and had caught four great ocean liners
and a dozen or more smaller harbor
craft in their grasp.
Stories in regard to the loss of life
are conflicting, the number being vari-
ously estimated at from SO to 200. Up
to midnight 10 bodies had been recov-
cred, but they were all so badly
burned and blackened that identifica-

Those who gathered along the shores
of the Hudson river to witness the great
conhagration saw a spectacle they can
never forget. and one that will always
have conspicuous place in the history
of New York. River and bay were en-
veloped in a pail of black smoke
through which angry flames, bursting
as from volcanoes on the Jersey shore
and in the water itself, leaped like
spirits into the air. The surface of the
water was covered with floating and
blazing masses of freight thrown in
haste from the doomed vessels, all un
noticed in the mad race to rescue more
precious human life threatened or be-
ing sacrificed in the great ships. And
through the pail of smoke a great
crimson sun, enlarged to thrice its size
by the haze, glared like an enormous
eye as it slowly sank in the west.
Such was the tremendous spectacle
presented on the SUI face of the Hudson
river as if it had been some holiday
pageant. It was made tragic by the
realization that in that smoke and be-
meath the turbid waters scores of lives
had been lost or were then in their last
desperate struggles against death.
The spectacle was witnessed by
thousands from both shores, and by
other thousands who crowded upon
every ferry boat, every excursion boat
upon every river craft that could be
secured for the purpose. The crowd
upon the banks of the river was almost
as great as that which formed to wit
ness the triumphant return of Admiral
Dewey. .---.- .-..., -=-s..
