MUST BUILD ROAD.

BENJAMIN Sweet. the timberland man,
was In the city yesterday. Mr.. Sweet
represents the Merrill Lumber Company
OF Wisconsin, which owns $1,000 acres
of timber In Clatsop county The Mer-
rlll eompany's tract is in the Nehalem
country. Mr.. Sweet said yesterday
that railroad would have to be built
into that country to get the timber out.
The lumber will be brought out this
way, Mr.. Sweet says. and he thinks the
practical way is to build the road so
as to connect with the A. & c. road
in the vicinity of Seaside. Mr.. Sweet
has extensive timber interests In DIFF

The geysers are in the neighborhood of
Norris If he has time he will visit
the falls of the Yellowstone.
The President has decided that he
cannot accede to the request of the

of strike on that line. His itinerary
was arranged months ago, and much
as he would desire to favor the union

HAD NO INVITATION
To Visit German Ports, So No Cause
for Dissatisfaction.

Washington, April 17.--Reports OF
dissatisfaction expressed in Germany
at the departure of the European
squadron for Marseilles where it will
participate in the welcome home OF
President Loubet, having been called
TO the attention of officials here, The
Associated Press is authorized on the
highest authority to make this state
nent of the position of the navy depart
mont in the matter:
Nothing was further from the mind
of Sec. Moody or any official of the
Washington government than giving
offense to Germany by extending an ap-
propriate courtesy to the sovereign of
a friendly nation. The suggestion came
from the state department that the
squadron go to Marselles in time to
greet President I.oubet especially as il
would touch there to take on board the
new COMMUNICATIVE chief, Rear Admiral
Cotton.
As regards the visit of thea merican

lin for the European squadron On the

BITTER FEELING CONTINUES.
More Acrimonious Talk in Senate
Chamber at Albany.

Albany, NJ Y, April 1.-THE bitter
feeling evidenced. yesterday. in the
state Senate. when the nOminati ton of
Frank NJ. Baker. as railroad commits
sioner, was rejected, was followed, to-
day, by series of sarcastic comments
and cross motions resulting in the
abandonment of the regular order OF
business.
Senator Elsberg, one of the so-called
independents, objected to the substitu-
ton of any bill from the Assembly for
a Senate bill on the order of third
reading and insisted that all bills take
the usual courses. This brought Sena-
tor Raines, the Republican leader, to
his feet. Mr. Raines said: r,
ut having been proved to the satis-
faction of all that the senator from ire
18th (slsberg) proposes to hold UP leg
islative proceedings and is pursuing his
present course because of his personal
anamosity, 1 move to suspend the Or
der of business"
II thought, responded Elsberg with
emphasis, that ! had expressed my
opinion with sufficient force that it was
a matter of supreme Indifference to me
and my colleagues what the senator
from the 42d Qfaines) thought of me or
my actions. l propose to let the people
of the state judge as to who is pursu-
ing the proper course in this body"
Senator Grady suggested a policy of
Cancellation and compromise.
Senator Bracket said that no one ap-
precia ted that suggestion more than he.
but there is one man in this body. and
only one man who would do such a
thing, who can't make an ordinary mo-
ton without gratuitously insulting
his fellow senator's"
1.-The senator has perfect liberty"
replied iaines, Ito wash the scars on
his back whenever and wherever he
pleases.
The motion to abandon the order of
business was carried. The independent
trio with Senators McCarren and Mar
tin voted in the negative.
The Senate judiciary committee re-
ported Gov. Odell's appointment of
George Wilson Morgan of New York
city to be superintendent of the state
bureau Of elections to succeed John Me
Cullagh. The nomination of Mr.. Nor
gan was unanimously confirmed on mo-
ton of Senator Raines.

TRADE REVIEW.
Wet Weather Retards Retail
Trade and Affects Textiles.
Agricultural Prospects Very Good
Season Backward in Sections.
Coal Selling FrecIy-cotton Is High
Labor Troubles.

New York. April --Bradstreets Re-
view of Trade will say, tomorrow Wet
weather has retarded retail trade and
aceentuated the quiet in textiles. The
agricultural outlook at present is one of
the best though the lateness of the sea
son is complained of in cotton and
spring planting. The statistical strength
of wheat sympathized in by other
grains in the face of unprecedented pos
sible yield of the winter sown grain is
a notablt feature. Export trade is still
expanding, cotton and corn being lead
ers and manufactured products are al
so going abroad in larger volume. Last
years record has already been sur
passed.
Despite widespread labor troubles,
particularly in building lines, lumber,
builders. hardware and structural steel
are unprecedentedly active. Cotton
goods buyers at wholesale are reported
inclined to hold off owing TO the unset
tlement caused by the abnormal posi-
ton in cotton, which has. however,
weakened after reaching new high
records on larger receipts, some liquida-
ton by bulls and reports of reshipments
VI <-'i'Ni ~ Gil N''tloiI INdli-
way earnings are the best ever recorded
for this season.
Consumers of anthracite coal, profit
ing by their experience of last year. are
buying freely and trade is quite active
for this period of the year.
The high price of cotton and the num-
erous labor troubles unsettled the de-
mand for manufactured goods. South
ern print cloths are reported selling
lie under Fall River quotations. Buy
ers are reported to be Indifferent. Mems
wear wooden goods for fall delivery are
reported rather backward, and raw
wool has steadied slightly, as supplies
old material are restricted and the
spring shearing is only just beginning.
The high price of grain and the rela-
lively low price of flour and other mill
ing products is credited with cutting
the margin of milling profit down very
low and discouraging production. but
prices of -four at the East are higher
than a week ago. Reports that the cot
otn crop is a month late are numerous
but some of this lost time will no doubt
be rec overed. Actual damage by floods
are smaller than earlier reports, and a
favorable effect from the flooding in
increased yields is expected to counter
balance this.
Manufactured industry is active the
country over. Leather is strong, in
sympathy with the firmness in hides
ard with general activity reported in
shoe manufacturing throughout the
country. Eastern shipments, this week,
are nearly rs per cent. larger than a
year ago and since Jan. are per cent.
in excess.

covered with unexpected speed from
