 The preliminary plans for the mem- orial call for a graceful, fluted column rising to a height of about forty feet above the base. Eventually the top of the column may be surmounted with a heroic figure of a pathfinder or a symbol of liberty or enlightenment The latter point has not been decided.
 The four squares of the base of the main column will bear the coat of arms of each of the four states which were carved out of the Oregon country-Ore- gon. Washington, Idaho and Montana.

THE WEEKLY REVIEW
 OF K. 6. STOCK MARKET
A Great Increase in the Number of
 Cattle Offered.

Kansas City, Mo. (SpeciaD May IT, Cattle receipts at Kansas City last week amounted to 27,940 head, as com pared with 16,667 head the correspond ing week last year. At this time year ago receipts at all the markets were small and prices advancing. This year all the markets have had heavy sup plies. and prices are s1.75 to s1.90 lower than year ago on fat steers. Light and medium to thin heifers declined sharply last week, but stockers and feeders showed little change. Western fed steers brought from $460 to S495, and western stockers and feeders from S4 to S4.45. Some Colorado cows, weigh ing 1,096 pounds sold Tuesday at $4.50. Receipts since the middle of last week have been light, with a beneficial effect on prices.
 Yesterday the run was light at 5000 head. and the general market was from strong to 10 cents higher than Friday. This puts steers almost equal to a week ago, but she stuff is 200 to, 35c under a week ago. Most sales of stockers and feeders were steady yesterday, some good stockers strong and heavy feeders weak. Western fat steers brought up to $4.S5 yesterday. and 100 Colorado stockers, weighing 466 pounds, brought S4.9O
 The sheep supply at Kansas City last week was liberal at over 3e,000 head against 15.3S3 the same week last year. The run was mostly Texas grass stuff, which closed the week a trifie under the beginning. Lambs were scarce all week and not nearly enough for the packers wants. The run yesterday was large at 12,0O0 head. but the market opened up with surprising activity. Texas and Arizona grass sheep were strong yes terday, and western lambs 10 cents higher. Mir. Forder of La Junta again topped the market with some 6S-poun1 wooded lambs at $7.5O. A bunch of Kan sas-fed westerns, 73 pounds, also brought $7.50. Clipped Colorados. 6S pounds, brought s6.S5 yesterday. These prices indicate a very strong market, especially on a day with a run in ex- cess of 12.O0O head. Clipped wethers are worth S5.25 and ewes s4.75.

KILLING AT DOUGLAS
 BY DESPERATE OUTLAW
Deputy Constable Tom Vaughn Dead
 Another Officer Wounded.

Douglas. Ariz., May 17.-Deputy Con stable Tom Vaughn was instantly killed and Constable Dayton Graham seri- ously injured last night by an outlaw named Smith, who escaped and is being pursued by a posse. The officers placed Smith under arrest as a suspicious character. They were about to search him, when he drew a six-shooter and began shooting. Before the officers could pull their guns both were sense less on the sidewalk.
 There were no witnesses. Smith made his escape in the darkness. A few feet from the scene of the shooting he fell and dropped slouch hat, this being the only clue to his identity. Smith is regarded as desperate character along the Mexican frontier. It is believed that he is wanted for several murders and other serious crimes. If the posse overtakes Smith without doubt he will be lynched.

SEA TERRORS MADE
 VOYAGE A TRAGEDY
Storms, Thirst and Starvation Men
 aced 433 Immigrants.

Norfolk, Va, May, 17.zTales of the distress and rrivation which beset the 433 Portuguese immigrants aboard the barkentine Vera Cruz III, which is ashore off Ocracoke Inlet, North Caro- lima, during the crafts ill-starred voy- age from the Cape Verde islands, are seldom duplicated in these days of . modern navigation.
 For two weeks prior to Saturday night, when the barkentine was driven on the sands. the passengers and crew had been in imminent danger of star vation.
 All hands on deck were obliged to sip small quantities of sea water to quench their thirst.
 Water and food gave out entirely early last week, and for five days star vation menaced the entire ships com- pany. One man starved to death
 Every endeavor was made to provide for the women, of whom there were fifty on the vessel. When the last water was used, portions of the Vera Cruz's deck load and the baggage of the immigrants were burned under the condensers to aid in partly purifying the sea water.
 After a slow voyage the barkentine ran into a fierce storm two weeks ago when within 135 miles of New Bedford, whither she was bound. Her sails and rnasts were carried away, and she was blown far out to sea. Jury masts were rigged, but another storm shattered them.
 In his stress the captain determined to run for land in order to procure food and water. The immigrants were on the verge of insanity and threatened the lives of the crew.

Washington, May 1.-The importa- tion of iron and steel which has charac- tefized the past year shows no signs Of abatement. The value of iron and steel . imports in the month of March, as shown by the figures of the treasury bureau of statistics, amounted to over s4, 100000 against about $2,O00,00O in March of last year; and for the nine months ending with March amounted to over s3S, 600, against less than SIS, 900, 600 in the corresponding months of last year. Curiously, all of the more important articles or classes of articles so imported are those of which the United States is a large producer. The United States is now by far the largest pig iron producer in the world, having last year produced more of this article than the United Kingdom and Germany combined, her production having prac- tically doubled since 1897. Yet the inn portations of iron and steel during the fiscal year which is to end next month will be double in value those of 1897 and four times those of 1899.
 The three classes of articles which show the largest increase are. pig iron, steel tails, and 'ingots. blooms, and bil- lets of steel. Pig iron shows an in crease from 76,72s tons in nine months of last year to 725,270 in the same months of this year, or nearly ten times as much this year as last. despite the fact that production is still increasing. In ingots, blooms. bars, etc, the in- crease is still more rapid, the total inn portation of the nine months of last year being fl, .209 pounds, and in the nine months of this year 657, ,319 pounds. In steel rails, of which the United States has in the past not only supplied her own wants but exported largely the percentage of increase is still larg- CT, the imports of the nine months of

CRAMP AGAIN PLEADS
 NEED OF 4 SHIP SUBSIDY
Philadelphia Builder Suggests General
 Petition to Congress.

Philadelphia, May 17.-Charles H. Cramp. president of the Cramp Ship and Engine Building company. in an address to the students of the Wharton School of Finance of the University of Pennsylvania, yesterday made an earnest plea for the ship subsidy bill.
 He reviewed the history of the Amer ican merchant marine, and said that it's failure to succeed in the competition in modern shipping. especially with England. the greatest of maritime na- tions, was due to the subsidies offered by the English government.
 He said that the enormous growth of the shipping business of Great Brit ain should serve as an object lesson to the American people, and induce them to petition congress to pas bill grant ing to American ship owners and build CTS some assistance in order to place them on equal footing with Europeans.
 MT. Cramp explained that the forma- ton of the International Marine com pany was due to lack of interest, which England had recently manifested in shipping. and added that he believed that the operations of that company would be beneficial to the United States. He asserted that if congress could be induced to take favorable ac- ton on the question of subsidies Amer ican shipyards would get a fair share of the business Of the company.
 With encouragement from congress, he said, it would be possible to increase American shipping to an enormous ex- tent in the next few years on account of the expansion of trade in the Phil ippine islands. In conclusion, he in sisted that SC long as American mer- chants continued to hold supremacy in foreign markets the shipbuilding in dustry would continue to flourish.

Vt is the protective tariff that gives cause
for worry, as there is where the pro
ducer is swindled as 81 does not pro-
tect the poor, for tariff, and the love OF
tariff are the root of much evil. Mr..
Arnold seems very willing to give the
wage Garner work. even II IL does put the
money into the tariff mans pocket, and
thereby cause the worker TO pay the
20 per centum out OF his pocket. even If
Il takes all the extra work he gets TO
pay II. He simply pays tariff TOR the
privilege of working That is all II
amounts To, TO rob the worker of ali he
gets. Perhaps he thinks this is all right
40 long as IL keeps the wage Garner at
work.
