TO ENACT LAWS
FOR TAX LEVY
GOVERNOR CALLS A SPECIAL
SESSION OF THE LEGISLATURE
TO CONVENE IN OREGON.

SALEM, Or, November Ex-Governor
Chamberlain today issued a call to the
members of the Legislative Assembly
of Oregon for them to meet at the Cap
itol building, in this city, on Monday,
December 81, 1908, for the purpose of
converting in extraordinary session to
enact laws to provide for a tax levy Oh
assessment rolls for the year 1903.
This call was made necessary by a
defect in the act passed by the Legis-
lative Assembly of 1903, providing the
manner of assessment and the levy and
collection of taxes, known as the
Phelps law. The Phelps law repealed
the old law, but did not provide for a
tax levy for 1903, thus leaving the state
and counties without revenue from tax
alton for an entire year.
Over sixty members of the LegisIa-
ture, majority of both houses, have
assured Governor Chamberlain that
they will enact none but legislation
which they deemed absolutely neces-
sary to the welfare or the state and
adjourn at the earliest possible date.
Had the extra session not been
called the State and all counties, towns
towns and districts would have been
thrown upon their own resources.

.ROXBURGHE NOT
PLEASED WITH US
DUKE INDIGNANT AT TREAT.
MENT HE RECEIVED IN AMER.
ICA-CAMERAS ON STEAMERS.

LONDON, November 23.-The Duke
and Duches of RoXburghe We're pas
sengers on the steamer Kaiser VIII
helm II, which arrived today from
New York. They spent the greater
part of the passage In their state
rooms to avoid being annoyed by the
others passengers. Half a dozen anna
teur photographers spent their time
during the passage devising traps to
catch the Duchess. Once a young
American successfully got a snapshot
of her when she was o nthe boat deck.
The Duchess, seeing that the young
man was trying to photograph her,
flushed with annoyance and hurried
ly put her muff to her face, but she
was too late. The photographer tri-
umphantly called to her, THANK you"
The Duchess angrily retorted, How
dare you?" After this experience she
kept TO her cabin.
A passenger friend of the Duke
said they were indignant at the treat
ment they had received from the
newspapers and public on the occa-
sion of their wedding. When the
Duke arrived in the Unite d States he
received the reporters courteously, but
finding that he was the target of SEN
sational and untrue stories, tending TO
make himself and his bride ridiculous
he grew disguised. He does not care
to return to America. The couple are
now in Paris.

WEEKS BETWEEN
SAILING VESSELS
HALF a MONTH HAS EIAPsEp
SINCE ANY SAILING SHIP AR
RIVED IN HONOLULU

The situation 200 local shipping is very
unusual There are now only five sail
Iug vessels iu port and none of these
are likely TO depart within less than
O. week.
shipping has been practically dead so
FAR as the sailing ncot is concerned.
The last sailing vessel to arrive Iu Hoo
uolulu was the bark Albert. She ar
rived November ~ from San FIR ucisco,
just 10 days ago. She sailed "a few days
ahead Of the b3rkentine Archer from
san Francisco but the latter vessel is
still out. Captain McAlmon. the new
master of the Archer, is not having
good luck on his first trip. His vessel
is out q days today. Evidently the
Archer has encountered calm weather
or else has been detained by the adj
verse winds that appear to have been
prevailing between here and san Fran
cisco.
The vessels coming the other way,
up from Newcastle are also behind
time. The ship General Fairchild Is
now out 81 days. The schooners Kali
lua and the Matthew Turner are each
out IS days. and the ship j. B. Thomas
is out 50 days. The ship Henry VII
lard is out AZ days. All of these yes
sells are ladened with coal for Honolulu
importers
OF the vessels i'm port the ship George
Curtis is likely to be the first TO de-
part. She is now waiting for sugar
ballast. She will get away about next
Thursday or Friday for San Francisco.
The bark Alden Besse is laying up
for the new crop. She gets away by
the end of this month. The bark Ge-
rard G. Tobey is also lying up indefi-
nitely. She will probably be sent away
at the end of this month with San
Francisco sugar. The bark Albert is
waiting for some sugar. The German
bark Solide, the remaining vessel, is
waiting for orders.

BOAT CREW
NEARLY LOST
FOUR MEN oT ECLIPSE HAVE A
NARROW ESCAPE At HONOIPU.
VESSEL WEATHER BOUND.

Rough weather about Hawaii de-
layed the Gas. schr Eclipse ON her rec
turn trip TO Honolulu. The vessel
nearly loN a boat and crew at Hoo
noipu last Friday. The sea was very
rough at Honoipu that day and the
boats had been worked under difficult
ties. 4 shore line from the buoy to
the beach was used by the boats i'm
getting I'm and out with the loads. Cap
tain Gahan had been on the deck of the
schooner all of the day watching the
big rollers come booming i'm. When
ever he would see any very large ones
that looked as II they might endanger
the boats, he would shout to the crew
i'm the small boats TO come out to sea
beyond the line of the breakers.
Toward the evening while the last
boat was inside the line of breakers.
Gahan saw three monster sWells go
rushing in. lie shouted to the crew
to come out 1t was well that the
men did not try to buck against the
immense waves. Had they done so
the four men would have been lost and
the boat probably dashed to pieces on
the rocks. The boat was capsized by
the second breaker and all of the men
dumped out. one of the men was
thrown fully Is feet into the air He
alighted the water about % feet
away from the boat. The undertow
was very strong but the men succeeded
in getting their boat ashore and bail
ing her out.
At Kawaihae the weather was the
toughest that Captain Gahan has ever
known in that place. The Eclipse ar
rived there Sunday night for a load Of
cattle. The sea increased in volume
until it became so bad on Monday
that the anchorage of the vessel had
to be shifted. The sea began breaking
in eight fathoms of water. The Eclipse
was weatherbound two days at Ka-
waihae before she could load the cat
tie for Honolulu. she arrived here
yesterday afternoon. She sails this
afternoon for Maui and Hawaii ports

L. G. Kellogg said he was an attorney

would carry him TO California. Arriving in
Chicago, unable to speak word of English
or tell his destination, Brun was arrested
for vagrancy. When found by the police
he was kneeling in prayer at the entrance

A CAUSE OF CONFUSION.
Bureaus Of the Same Name in Different
Departments

The bureau of navigation of the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor is troubled
with its name. Its mail goes to the Navy
Department bureau of the same name, and
vice versa, and there has been for a long
time a great deal of annoyance caused by
the similarity of name with such dlssmi
larity of work The bureau of navigation
of the Navy Department has charge of the
assignment of officers and vessels of the
navy to their various stations, while the
bureau of navigation of the Department of
Commerce and Labor has jurisdiction over
the mere hant shipping of the country sees
that the laws OF the United States relating
thereto are obeyed and attends to all the
government business connected with the
merchant marine.
In time of eXigency the annoyance has
been extremely intensified, notoriously so
during the Spanish war, when the merchant
for the navy bureau, and vice versa. So ac-
customed have the members of the two
bureaus become to this misdirection of mail
that they have had printed envelopes in
which to inclose mail delivered incorrectly
at either bureau, and this is no small uuan-
tity daily. Because of this il is thought
that Congress will be petitioned to change
the name of the bureau of navigation of
the Department of Commerce and Labor to
something like 1.-The bureau of merchant
shipping" and thus end the annoyance
that has been of such long standing

Major Gen. Chaffee. commanding the De-
partment of the East. has approved the
action of the court-martial at Allegheny
Pa. in acquitting Private john Dowd, the
sentry who shot and killed William CraW-
ley near the Allegheny arsenal few weeks
ago. 1t was shown that Crowley was max
ing off with some government property at
the time and was shot by the sentry While

upon to halt. AS a result of the trial Prl-
vate Dowd has been released from confine-
ment as far as the military jurisdiction is
concerned, but in accordance with pre-
vious understanding between the federal
and state authorities he will be turned over
TO the latter for trial by the civil courts
Although Crowley's alleged onense
against the government was committed on
q military reservation he was shot after he
had left the reservation, and it is on that
account that the civil authorities claim
jurisdiction in the matter The ofhc1alS OF
the War Department uphold the sentry Is
having acted in strict accordance with his
military duty for the protection of govern
ment property. and will be defended before
the civil courts by an officer of the Depart
