New York, July 18.-The following Of
ficfal statement has been given out by a
member OF the firm of J. P. Morgan & Co.:

GOTHAM PRESTIGE
Effort to Rehabilitate New
York's Standing as a
Grain Center.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal
New York, July 1S.-At meeting of the
Produce Exchange committee on freight
rate discrimination and terminal charges
it was decided to meet the traffic man
ayers of the various railroads which have
wharf terminals here before the plans
of the committee are made public. The
conference between the grain men and
the traffic managers has already been
arranged, and will occur within ten days.
Measures of relief from excessive port
charges will be discussed, and it is ex-
pected that some compromise will be
made so that New York's waning prestige
as a grain center will be restored.
David Bingham, chairman of the Pro-
duce Exchange committee, said that one
of the measures of relief was the privilege
of loading oceans going grain carriers from
the elevators on the same basis as that
of canal boats. Statistics published on the
exports of the -four from this port showed
falling off in June of 900 barrels,
while in the twelve months ended June
80 there was decrease in export shipments
of -four Of about 900 barrels. 1t is
understood that the produce men favor
an enlarged canal.

THROUGH ICE FIELDS
Steamship Navigates Alaskan Water
With Great Difficulty.


Seattle, Wash, July 1S.-The steamship
Portland arrived in port early to-day,
bringing news of awful ice fields and
great congestion of people at st. Micheal
which was relieved by her arrival at the
mouth of the Yukon, followed by other
craft. The Portland took two weeks
June 20 to July ITO reach st. Michael
from Nome. She plowed through vast
ice foes and on June "a was within eight
miles of st. Michael only to put out to
sea again.
The report from ST. Michael was to the
effect that 1900 Yukon men and women
had lain at that port for three weeks
waiting for the first steamer. So scarce
did provisions become that they were
living for long time on one meal day.
There is a great rush down the Yukon
from as far up as Dawson for Nome and
a big ferry business Will be done during
the summer between those ports. The
Portland took 400 passengers from St.

MIXED CARLOAD FREIGHT
Judge KOhIsaat of Chicago Refuses
an Injunction.

Chicago, July 18.-Judge Kohlsaat in
the United States circuit court to-day re-
fused to issue an Injunction restraining
the railroads from enforcing rules against
accepting what is known as mixed car
load freight. The Injunction was asked
for by various shipping brokers against
the Grand Trunk and the Lackawanna
roads, but the decision will be wide
spread in its effect. It is the custom of
shipping brokers to gather small lots of
freight from several clients, and, by ship
ping them together as carlots, obtain a
lower rate. This was objected to By the
railroads and the position of the latter has
been sustained bT the court.

"SMITHS" OFF FOR JAPAN
CAPT. STRONG AND LADY HOPE
They Sail From San Franc1scO Under
an Assumed but Hardly Un-
familiar Name.


San Francisco, July 1S.-There is little
doubt that Captain Putnam Bradlee
Strong and Lady Francis Hope are pas
sengers on the Pacific liner Nippon Maru,
which sailed from this port for the Orient
yesterday. 1t is positively known that
the couple spent Tuesday night aboard
the vessel and yesterday morning Lady
Hopes dogs were put aboard by her
servant. During the forenoon the captain
left the Nippon and came up town,
but soon returned to the vessel. In the
list of passengers there appear the names
of Mr.. and Mrs. Smith and two servants,
who are booked for Japan. The Smith"
occupy the bridal stateroom and until
the sailing of the vessel they kept in
their quarters with their door locked and
a curtain pinned over the window. The
Smiths" and the elopers are the same
persons. The destination Of Captain
Strong and Lady Hope is Kobe, Japan.
New York, July 1S.-Since Thursday,
when it became known that Secretary
Root would accept Captain Strongs resig-
nation from the army, friends in this city
have kept the telegraph wires busy urg-
turn to New York. The only response
Strong made was to demand that $1,000
held here in trust for him be sent him
by telegraph. This was done Tuesday
afternoon. The money represents the re-
mainder Of a legacy Of $25, 900 left him
by his grandfather in trust to his father,
the late mayor. Before going to San
Francisco young Strong had drawn of this
legacy $4,000, most of which was used in
paying debts. When he left he had with
him between SO 900 and SIS 900.
