SERIOUS QUESTION.
The Ocean Transportation Problem
Bothering Canadians.

Ottawa, Ont, June 30.-Probably the
most serious question confronting Can
ada today, as affecting her trade and
commerce, is that of ocean transporta-
ton. The recent Morgan steamship
combine has brought this fact home to
Canadians with startling emphasis.
The current OF public opinion has been
somewhat sluggish hitherto in respect
to this subject. but the Morgan menace
has quickened the popular pulse in
every quarter OF Eastern Canada.
To meet the existing difficulties and
to checkmate the steamship merger. it
would seem necessary to accept the ar
rangement OF British Canadian steam
ship line on the basis outlined in recent
cable dispatches. 1t is not thought
probable that the Canadian government,
or that OF England, will subsidize a
purely freight line of steamers.
Another scheme, however, is now be-
ing advanced to cope with the situation
1t is proposed that Canada's interests
would best be protected by the creation
OF a national Canadian line of steamers
upon the basis OF the German Lloyds,
where, in the contract with the govern
ment, conditions are stipulated that
they must develop the country's trade
ana industry, and at the same time as
sure government control and perma-
hence of service. This would mean the
training of Canadian seamen, and vast
possibilities in shiphuilding.

STEAMERS SAFE
PORTLAND AND JEANNE FINALLY
HEARD FROM.
Vessels Supposed to Have Been Lost
in the Arctic Seas are Safe Near
DiOmede Islands. on Cape Prince
of Wales..-All Well on Board
Both Ships.

Seattle, Wash, June 30.-The local
marine exchange reports that the
steamer Centennial passed Port Town
send at S:45 a. M, with news aboard
that the steamers Portland and Jeanne,
supposed to have been lost in the Arctic
seas, are safe eighty miles north OF
Diomede islands, off Cape Prince OF
Wales.
The revenue cutter Thetls stands by
waiting for the gradually dissolving ice
foe to break All hands aboard the
three vessels are we'll, with provisions
in plenty. The news was brought to.
Nome by the whaler Belvidere, that
passed within hall mile OF the three
vessels The whaler arrived at Nome
June 20, the day the Centennial sailed.
The captain of the whaler verified his
report by bringing a written report
communication from Capt. Mason OF the
Jeanne, in which was stated practically
the following:
He said that his vessel was laying so
miles off Nome as early as May Is,
waiting for the ice to break, that she
might make harbor. The Portland,
two days later, came three miles to the
westward and lay to for the same pur-
pose. The ice began to accumulate
from the north and surround both YES
sells. For several days the breaks
occurred, and again the ice would close
down. But owing to the lateness OF the
season, the clear water which had been
had up to that time, and the general
outlook from tho hastily rugged crows
nests, the officers of both vessels appre-
hended no danger. Steam was kept up
and two days later it was at first decid-
ed to make a break through the mush
ice and between the foes, but this was
abandoned when it was seen that the
foes ahead were gradually shifting with
the currents and setting toward the
north again.
Capt. Mason ends his report BY say
ing that there is no danger whatever, as
within few days clear passage will be
had with but small effort. There is
practically dead water to the leeward of
the islands where the vessels are lay
ing, and it is simply question of a
short wait. 1t has been generally be-
lieved that both the Jeanne and the
Portland were lost, as the Nome City,
the first vessel to return from Nome,
brought down the startling news that
the Portland had been swept through
the strait into the Arctic in an i'm
mense ice foe. This report was receiv-
ed Friday evening, June 20.
When the Nome City left Nome, the
revenue cutter Thetis had gone to the
rescue of the Portland.
The steamhips in port at Nome when
the Centennial left on June 20, were
the Garonne, Elihu Thompon, Newboy,
Oregon and the Senator.

New York, July Trim as grace

Brooklyn hayward, the official yacht OF
the United States and ocean home OF
President Roosevelt. In her new func-
ton, after undergoing alterations that
cost $50, 900, she is ready for sea as one
of the most luxuriously appointed yes
sells ahoat. She was commissioned Sat
urday, but the date of her sailing from
the maynard has not yet been settled.
OF the new Mayhower all the officers
of the maynard are proud, as they feel
she will be fitting residence ior the
chief executive of the nation when
social or naval regulations call upon
him to fly his flag ahoat. In designing
such a palace for use by the president,
the United States departs somewhat
from the old lines of Jeffersonian SIM
plcity and takes her place among the
other world powers in the matter OF
naval luxury. Neither the Hohenzol-
lern nor any of the other royal yachts
has rooms more beautiful and costly
than those of the president yacht.

GRANTS AMNESTY
TO ALL POLITICAL PRISONERSvlN
THE PHILIPPINES.
Proclamation Will Issue on July 4
PardOning Those FiIipinos Not
Guilty of Criminal Conduct.
Aguinaldo Among Those Par.
doned BY the Decree.

Washington, June 2s.-At the meet
ing of the cabinet the terms OF the am
nesty proclamation to the Philippines,
which it is contemplated to issue on
the Fourth OF July, were agreed upon.
The war department for some time past
has had under consideration the draft OF
the proclamation, and has found it
necessary to make number OF changes
in its text. In its modified form it
was agreed to by the cabinet, and Sec.
rotary Root will cable it to Acting Gov
ernor Wright for his inspection. If it
meets the Eaters approval nothing
will remain but for the president, if the
Philippine bill is a law on that day, as
it is now expected il will be, to issue
on Independence day formal procla-
nation setting forth terms Of amnesty
for all political offenders in the islands,
including Aguinaldo and those held at
Gaum.
The proclamation is based on the
general objects OF the Philippine govern
ment bill, namely to restore peace in
the archipelago and substitute a civil
for military administration.
The proclamation will declare that a
state of peace now exists in the Philip
pines islands, save in the parts OF the
archipelago where the Mindanao, or
Pagan, tribes are giving the United
States great amount of trouble, and
will declare in effect that, with the
transfer of government OF the archipel.
ago from military to civil status,
all those arrested and held for political
offenses shall be restored to liberty
granted full amnesty and allowed to
participate in the civil government
that is to be established in the islands
There is no intention. it is said, to
release prisoners convicted of other
than political offenses, the benefits Of
the amnesty being limited to those in
custody as result of breaches OF mill
tary law, leaving criminal offenders to
the action OF the proper authorities
under the coming civil government
The purpose is to demonstrate that mo-
tives of humanity and generosity dictate
our course toward the Philippines.
When the islands are turned over to
the civil authorities they will not be
left without adequate military protec-
ton, as no more troops will be ordered
home for the present, and every precau-
ton will be taken for the military safe
guarding OF the islands for the new civil
administration.

LIVELY IN HAYTI
The Merry Round Of Revolution
Continues With an In.
abated Vigor.

Cape Haytien, Hayti, June 30
There has been much fighting here, and
great excitement prevails. Admiral
Killy, commander of the Haytian
fleet, disembarked a further detachment
of troops and a large quantity OF ammu-
milton for the better protection of Gen.
Firmin, one of the candidates for the
presidency OF the republic. Since early
morning there have been several lively
engagements between the men from the
fleet and the revolutionists from the
north. Several machine guns were set
up in commanding position by Gen.
Firmin's force, and an attempt was
made to drive the men from the north
out OF their positions. Notwithstanding
the fire from the machine guns, the de-
tachments from the northern revolu-
tionsts made several attacks npon Gen.
Firmin's followers and the latter were
eventually dislodged.
In the meantime the vessels under the
command of Admiral Killy were bonn
harding Cape Haytien This action
was taken without previous notification
to the foreign consuls here. There has
been lively rain OF shots down the
streets OF Cape Haytien all day long.
The foreign consuls, under the protec-
ton OF their various flags, are with Gen.
Firmin and are about to embark on the
government gunboat Pierot. They are
under a rather heavy fire and in much
danger The foreign residents OF this
port are at present exposed to the law
lessness and savagery OF the combatants.
Deep regret is expressed that no war
ships OF a foreign power are in the har-
Dor to afford protection to foreign resi-
dents

London, July 1.-The general feeling
of relief as a result OF the favorable re-
ports OF the condit on OF the king vent
ed itself by the touching off of the 3 900
bonfires throughout the United King
dom, which were originally prepared to
celebrate coronation night. The signal
to light the fires was given at five min
utes past 9 o'clock. \ rocket was sent
up from the top Of the gigantic wheel
in Earl's court, and burst in cloud OF
stars 900 feet overhead. In response
to this signal, bontires rose from every
elevation OF any consequence, from the
Lizard to the Orkneys. The celebra-
tons were unfortunately somewhat
Gampened by the downfall of rain.
London was not officially illuminat-
ed. 1t had been hoped that the Man
sion House, the Bank of England and
Marlborough house would join in the
celebration, all their illumination
stands being intact, but none of the
official Examinations were lit up. The
display in London in this respect was
confined to theaters. hotels and board
ing houses on the Strand, Fleet street
and other thoroughfares. There was

night. Nearly 1000 delegates have

annual session of the young people. In
numbers, in enthusiasm and in it's prac-

all others in the history Of the associa-

One OF the pleasant features of the
convention has been the music. The

OREGON ASHORE.
White Star Line Steamship Ground.
ed at Dutch Harbor.

Seattle, June 30.-The steamship
Oregon, of the White Star Line, is said
to be ashore at Dutch Harbor, with be-
tween seven and eight feet OF water in
her hold. The news was brought down
by one of the late steamer arrivals from
Nome, but was suppressed as far as
possible, on account of the CONSERVATION
that would naturally follow, coming so
closely upon the doleful reports about
the Jeanie and the Portland. 1t is be-
lieved all the passengers OF the Oregon
have been safely landed, but if reports
are true it will be impossible to float
her or to bring her to Seattle until she
has been pumped clear of water and
necessary repairs done on her hull.
