TO DISCHARGE COAL CARGO
Barkentine Omega Moored at
the FIaveI Wharf.

The barkentine Omega will begin to-
morrow morning the discharge Of her
cargo, or, at least, the greater portion
of it, down at the Flavel wharf. Brown
& McCabe, The well-known firm Of
stevedors, will have charge of this part
Of the work.
The cargo was imported here from
Newcastle, New South Wales, Austria
liza, by the Holmes Ice & Coal Company
Of Portland. 1t consists in all of about
geo tons, 800 Of which will be left at
the Flavel wharf for Fort Stevens
About 100 tons will go to Fort Column
bia, but it is not settled as yet whether
the vessel will be taken over to the
latter fort or the coal transferred to
its destination in a barge.
Since the arrival of the barkentine
a representative of the Holmes people,
Mr.. Holmes, Jr., has been superintend-
ing the construction Of a hopper at the
Flavel wharf, there being no bunkers
at this place. The hopper prevents the
waste Of coal. which would necessarily
ensue in the transfer to cars without
it. 1t will be removed Immediately af-
ter the discharge Of the cargo.

Berlin, April l5.-The opinion pre-
walls in official circles here that open
hostilities bet Heen Russia and Turkey
can no longer be avoided.
The Constantinople correspondent If
the Tageblat wires his paper that the
Russian ambassador to the sublime
porte has officially informed the sultan
that the cars patience is about ex-
hausted. and that he will no longer
countenance the present condition of
things along the frontier between the
two countries. The car will, the sui
tan was informed, forthwith formulate
a series of demands which Turkey must
accept WITHOUT delay or be prepared to
take the consequences.
A confederation of these facts has
been received from St. Petersburg, and
1t now seems that a conflict between
the two powers will not long be averted.
Constantinople. April 15.-It is the
general opinion here that the mission
sent by the sultan to pacify the revolt
ing Albanians will prove unsuccessful
Should this be the case. it will force
the sultan to suppress the rebellion by
tn, use of large armed force. Eight
battalions of regular troops have been
concentrated at Freizovitch.

vault in this room are some of the
quaint iron candlesticks that lighted
the conferees at the first Methodist
conference, held in 1913, a stove that
was used for fires Of wood, and the
original collection bag of the church,
a crude pocket of faded black velvet,
tackled on a short iron handle.
The history of the church Is a most
interesting one. Captain Thomas
Webb, an officer in the British army
and a convert of John Wesley, first
preached Methodism in Philadelphia.
When he came to the city he held
meetings in various odd places. as
often as not in the open air. A strange
chance gave him for his cathedral the
old church. Members Of the Dutch
Reformed Church began the building
Of the structure, but could not raise
the money to finish it, and were i'm
prisoned for debt The church was
sold at auction to satisfy creditors, and
was bid in for considerable sum by
the half-witted son of wealthy citi-
zen. Rather than bring shame upon
the family name the father paid for
his sons purchase, and Immediately
offered it for sale at fraction of its
cost. A member Of the Methodist So
ciety purchased the church, and the
first sermon was preached in the edi-
fee amid great rejoicing by the Meth
odists.
Although very commonplace in COM
parison with religious structures Of the
present day, at the time it was built
it was one of the show buildings of
the continent. For half a century 1t re-
mained the largest Methodist church
In the world. In 1777 evil times came
to Philadelphia. The British army oc-
eupied the city and st. Georges
Church was used first as a hospital
and afterward as riding school for
the cavalry. 1t was a cherries struc-
ture at that time. The building was
not plastered till 1874. and was fitted
with galleries about 1900.

BIG MILLS SILENT.
Every Flour Producer in Minneap-
oils Closed Down.

oils Closed Down.
Minneapolis, April 1S.-The North
western Miller says: Every mill in
Minneapolis and practically all the mer-
chant spring wheat mills in Minnesota
and the Northwest have shut down en-
tirely and will cease turning out flour
for an indefinite period. This act has
peen forced upon the millers by the
conditions surrounding the manufacture
and sale of flour. For some time, ow-
ing to the price of cash wheat, the high
rates of freight and the depressed state
OF the flour markets, mills have been
operating at loss, but the browning
disadvantage which has paralyzed the
milling industry throughout the North
west was the act of the line of boats
operating between Duluth and Buffalo
in yesterday moving wheat on the basis
of 2 cents bushel, while the present
proportionate rate on flour from Duluth
to Buffalo is maintained at 9 cents per
hundred pounds The lines have told
the millers that under the Elkins bill
they need not anticipate any discrimi-
nation in rates against flour, but the
action of the line of boats in making
this cent rate on wheat shows that
such an assurance was meaningless.
Until the freight rates on,the manufac-
tured product are placed on parity
with those given the raw material, or
the cent rate on wheat il advanced
the millers will find it impossible to
grind

simply furnished There are neither
tables nor chairs, but only cushions
placed on the carpeted floor all round
the room. Possibly your host, out Of
consideration for Europeans inability
to make himself comfortable on the
floor, has provided one solitary high
backed chair for you to sit on. He
conducts you to 1t, and bowling, invites
you to be seated in most courteous
phraseology and with graceful waving
Of the hands. Etiquette, however, for
bids you to seat yourself before he
does, and 1t also forbids the host to
sit down before his guest Is seated.
Hence each politely declines to sit
down before the other, and contest Of
courtesy ensues, which ends at last in
both host and guest seating them
selves at the same moment, the guest
on his hosts right hand.
But how about the solitary chair?
Your instinct suggests that, as your
host has taken the trouble to provide
1t for you, the most courteous thing Ia
to take 1t. But it would be a great
mistake for you to do SO. Etiquette
forbids you to sit on a seat higher than
that Of your host. The most polite
thing for you to do, therefore, is to
thank him for his kindness, but to say
that under no circumstances could you
think of sitting on a seat elevated
above his own.
You at last succeed in sitting down
on the cushions by his side, and the
servants, at sign from your host, re.
move the chair. II you were to sit on
1t, they would comment most harshly
on your arrogance.
When you and your host are at length
seated you bow to one another and
once more ask after one anothere
health, although a few minutes ago the
same tender Inquiries were made when
you first entered the room.
Your host has doubtless invited 9
large number Of persons to meet you.
You are not introduced to those present
unless they are persons Of Importance
but you must. on ending your inquiries
as to your hosts health, bow to every
one all round the room in turn, be.
ginning on your right.
When the afternoon call" has drawn
to an end and the visitor rises to de.
part, he probably finds that his legs
refuse to perform their duty for a few
minutes. as he has been sitting cross
legged. an attitude dear to the Oriental
but by no means comfortable for q
European. The host escorts the visitor
to the door, and he rides away amid
the low bows Of number Of servants

OLDEST METHODIST CHURCH.
Edifice Built Early in the Eighteenth
Century Still Standa.


BY raising an endowment that will
be used to prevent ST. Georges
Church, Philadelphia, from falling to
decay, wealthy members Of the Meth
Odist Church in that city have made
possible the preservation Of a struc
ture around which are clustered men,
cries dear to the heart Of every stu
dent Of the early history of Meth0dism
In America. st. Georges Church is
noted as the Oldest Methodist Church
in continuous use for worship In the
world. Owing to its great age, the
edifice would soon crumble away were
it not for the steps about to be taken
for its renovation. Especial attention
will be paid to the old conference
room, where still stands the desk at
which sat Francis Asbury, the first
Methodist bishop ordained In Ameri-
ca, and on which is the original Bible
used by him during his term rs pastor
Of the church. Among the relics which
are carefully preserved in fireproof

Lizards in SamOa.

A resident Of Samoa writes in an
entertaining way Of the lzards-Ittle
fellows about two inches long, prettily
colored in light and dark shade Of
brown. They can run up window
pane quite as easily as can the flies on
which they feed.
When alarmed, the lizards are Off like
a flash Of light, and will take the most
reckless leaps. l have seen them land
safe at the end Of twenty foot jump.
Yet when cornered they have no hesi-
tation in swapping off the most Of their
tails.
That was maddening puzzle to my
small cat. The sight of moo any.
where was an immediate challenge to
the kitten. She would Immediately
start on the hunt, for the most part a
fruitless chase, for the little lizard
could skulk off faster than two cats
could pursue. Yet when the kitten did
succeed In landing on the lizard there
followed scene Of bewilderment. The
moo invariably snapped Off its tail,
which was left wriggling in one part
OF the veranda. while the lizard ran of
a short distance and awaited develop
ments.
The kitten never knew whether to
catch the lizard or the tail. If the
moo moved, the kitten went for It;
but she always stopped short to keep
an eye on the wr:iggles Of the tail. As
soon as she turned back to take care
Of the tail. the moo got in motion and
had to be looked after. Hundreds of
times l have watched the dilemma,
and the ending was always the same
the lizard got away and the kitten
had to be content with the bony tail.
But there were lots of lizards about my
house, sprouting new tails.

TAP RICH COUNTRY.
o. r. & N. Company te Expand Into
Central Oregon.


Portland, Or, April ia special
to the Oregonian from New York says:
The Oregon Railroad & Navigation
company will extend it's system into
Central Oregon, guaranteeing to Port
land merchants control of the trade of
this rich section and making it's rapid
development certain. The proposal to
extend has been under consideration
by the company for some time, but I'M
til now nothing definite has been given
out. The absolute promise of an ex-
tension has now been made.
T. B. Wilcox, who came to New York
as the representative of the Portland
Chamber of Commerce, has been in
consultation with President f. H. Har-
riman, of the Union Pacific and chair
man of the board of directors of the
Oregon Railroad 4 Navigation compa-
ny, relative to the extension for some
time, and has now departed for his
home with the assurance that the COM
pany will build into Central and South
ern Oregon
The details of the extension are to be
settled at once. Within comparative
ly short time it will be definitely known
whether the O. R. q N. intends to build
a line of its own, or whether it will ex-
tend the Columbia Southern, which
runs from Bigss, station on the o.
r. & N, to Shaniko, distance of sew
enty miles due south.
The Oregon Railroad & Navigation
company owns the bonds of the Golum-
bia Southern, and it is understood that
negotiations for the sale of smaller
road to the hartman line are now be-
ing carried ON in New York.

1t Is the proper thing in that country
