FINE STEAMER IN HER DAY.
Olympia Rotting in o. r. & N. Co.'s
Boneyard at Portland.


Lying in the stream but few lengths
from the boneyard buildings of the o.
r. & N. Company is moored the pio-
neer steamer Olympian. a craft with a
history and one that has been a staunch
speedy and handsome vessel in her day.
But now she is classed among. the an
cient ones, and as she has remained at
her present anchorage for over 10
years. so may she lie for may more.
Probably no steamer in northwestern
waters is as useless for her owners as
the olympian, for she is too expensive
to operate, and is generally out of date,
besides which her boilers are utterly
valueless in their present capacity.
The hull is thought to be about the
best part of the steamer.
Few are there Of this generation re-
siding in the city who have not seen
the Olympian, in passing up or down
the Willamette says the Telegram.
She has tugged at her anchor near the
yards for SO long that the river trave-
lers look upon her as a familiar mark.
from which bearings are taken by the
landSmen, to whom channel buoys and
the compass are unintelligible. The
Olympian and her sister, the Alaskan
which was lost in 1889 off Cape Blanco |
in terrible sea, when 40 souls were |
drowned. were expensive steamers. |
The o. F. & N. added them to its
fleet in 1884, and they were the finest
crafts of the iron sidewheel type seen
on these waters. The two were con-
structed especially for the Columbia
river and Puget sound trade, but they
were never successful owing to the
enormous running expenses.
The Olympian was launched at Will
nlington in 1SS3 and was brought
around to the coast by Captain H. S.
Ackley. She reached San Francisco
early in March, and was dispatched al
most Immediately to the sound, in COM
mand of Captain Thomas Wilson, who
steered her on the first trip over the
Victoria a-Tacoma route. For a year
the steamer traversed the Washington
waters, and was then returned to the
Golden Gate for an overhauling. Aft
er that she made round trip daily on {
the Victoria run, and her career from ,
that time to S6,when she was brought {
to the Columbia, proved featureless. Ir
Her first work inside the bar was be- /
tween Portland and the Cascades. :
where she forced her way through SOL i

ARREST OF DESPERATE MAN.
Alleged FOrger Taken in Presence of
 Wife Who Was in Bed.


 Philadelphia, May 1.-John A. Dela- ney. who. the police say is wanted in St. Louis, New York, Washington, and particularly by the authorities of Balti- more. who charge him with forgery. was arrested at the Hotel Hanover early to-day after struggle with two detectives who owe their lives to their presence of mind. The arrest was made in the presence of Delaney's wife, who was in bed. The wife comes from a good family in Baltimore, and did not know that he was wanted by the police until the detectives broke into their room. They were married in January. She had always believed Delaney to be a travelling man.
 According to the detectives Delaney said he would have made his escape if he could have reached any one of the six weapons he tried to reach, even though he had to kill both of them.
 Mrs. Delaney, dumbfounded at the whole proceedings, almost went into mysteries from surprise and fear.
 Among Delaney's personal effects were found chloroform and a sponge a silk bag, which the detectives, say is like the kind used by sandbagging highwaymen; two pieces of rope, a chisel and a razor.
 The prisoner was taken to City hall and held without bail to await requi- sition papers from Maryland.
 Mrs. DeIaney's mother and sister were telegraphed for and they arrived this afternoon and took the heartbroken woman home.
 Delaney told the police that his pres ent plight was due to his attempt to have his wife remain in the same social position she was in when he married her. Delaney also said he was at one time confidential agent of Chris yon der Ahe Of St. Louis

HUNDREDS OF BAKERS
 60 OUT ON STRIKE
GREAT BAKERS' FIGHT BEGINS
 IN BAY STATE.
Fourteen Hundred Men Quit in Bostton, Chelsea and CambrIdge-Daily Sup ply of From sbo,OOO to s5o,Ooo Loaves in the Hub Practically Cut OT-Men Ordered Out in Several Other Cities.

Boston. May IA strike of more than 1,40O bakers in this city, Cam bridge and Chelsea went into effect at 6 o'clock tonight. Every bakery in the three cities is affected, with the ex- lception of the Hebrew bakeries. The men cult work at o'clock and the night shifts failed to appear.
 The daily output of bread in Boston is from SOO,OOO to $50, ,OOO loaves, and this supply will be practically cut off. In all Of the bakeries the employers were making feeble attempts to keep their shops in operation. but all admitted that the outlook for production of any size was poor.
 The large hotels and restaurants will not be affected. as the employees of pastry, are members of the Cooks and Walters union and will not be called out. The smaller hotels and restau- rants that deepended on the bakeries for their supply of break, cake and pastry will be seriously inconvenienced. | The proprietors of the bakeries, band ed together in the Master Bakers asso- ciation, have refused absolutely to grant the demands of the men, and have declared that in the future they will operate "open shops"
 | The employees demands were embod- fed in a ne wworking agreement which provides for an increase of wages, union ships and the use of the union la bel on every loaf of bread made.
 The master bakers were willing at first to renew the working agreement in force during the past year, but now declare that they will not sign any Iagreement nor recognize the union in any way
 The strike of the bakers is not con ! fined to Boston, Chelsea and Cam bridge. Strikes were ordered to-day in the districts centering in Lynn, Salem and Brockton. At Fall River and Wal tham the unions have deferred action for one week in the hope that the master bakers will coneede their de- mands.
 It was announced by the union to- might that during the day about forty firms, employing 475 men, had signed the new agreement and that tomorrow their bakeries would be in operation. A statement was issued by the Mas ter Bakers association tonight in which it is charged that the employees broke faith in declaring a strike while negotiations for a settlement of the trouble were pending. It is further stated that open shops will be operated.

Important One Held nit White House
 Yesterday.

Washington, May 1. An important political conference was held by Pres ident Roosevelt at the White House to- night with prominent members of both houses of congress. They included Sen- ators Aldrich, Spooner, Hale, Platt of Connecticut, Lodge and Allison, Speak CT Cannon and Chairman Hemenway of the appropriations committee. Secre- tary Cortelyou of the department of commerce and labor was also present. It is understood that the decision cov- cred a wide range and it is not at all unlikely that it embraced features of the platform which will be presented for the ratification of the national republic an convention when it assemblies at Chicago in June. Those present declin- ed to discuss with newspaper reporters the nature of the conference except to say that there were no conclusions. One of those present was asked whether the question of the chairmanship of the na- tional committee was talked about, but his answer was evasive.
 Senator Aldrich had left the city for his Rhode Island home but it is under stood came to Washington especially for to-night's meeting. It was after Ii o'clock before those present left the White House

killed and 1s wounded. The Japanese left on the position they vacated 10 dead and 26 wounded. They also carried away a number of their wounded and others scrambled down the cliffs to the Yalu. The enemy succeeded in moving their mountain guns.
 After occupying the heights near Sindiagu, where our troops came under a heavy fire from a Japanese battery posted north of Wiju, two of our guns shelled pontoon bridge and compelled the Japanese to dismantle it.
 The Japanese troops at Litzaven and Khussan retreated partly to the Yalu and partly northward.
 Up to the present ten carbines and many cartridges and maps have been found on the Japanese positions.
 Conspicuous -gallantry was displayed by the light infantry of the Tenth and Twelfth regiments under Lieutenant Yantchiss.
 ''At 10 o'clock on the morning of April l29 a Japanese force of 1,500 infantry with twelve guns began to cross the river at Ambilzhe and Schogapoudzy. Near Ambikhe there was a small Rus sian detachment under Lieutenant Colonel Goussev, which was compelled to retire under the sustained fire of two Japanese batteries of six guns each. Men were wounded and Lieut.. Co. Goussev was bruised on the head and left arm.
 Our mountain guns were unable to return the enemy's fire on account of the excessive range and endorsements were sent to the detachment with orders to drive the Japanese beyond the Yalu.
 General Mistchenlo reports that the Japanese warships at the mouth of the Yalu on April 29 opened fire on our troops the cannonade lasting for twen- ty minutes. No damage was done.
 "All is quiet at Yinkow. On April 30, from 10 o'clock in the morning until in the afternoon the Japanese shelled our position at Tur- enchen from their batteries on the left bank, where they had posted "A field guns and twelve 120-millimetre siege guns, which were cleverly mounted in masked earthworks. They fired min imum of 2,0OO projectiles. Our troops stuck stubbornly to the pontoon at Turenchen.
 "On the morning of April 30 the Jap- anese recrossed the Yalu at Sindiagu, attacking our troops posted on the heights near the village of Khussan and turning our left flank. Owing to the great superiority of the Japanese forces we retreated to position near the vil- llage of Potietinsky.

Rochester, N. Y, May 1.-Members of Bakers union No. IA struck to-day lover disagreement with their employ CTS as to the hours of work. About 100 men went out. The men wanted all day-work, asking to be permitted to do their work between the hours of a. m. and p. m.
 Nineteen of the smaller bakeries con- ceded their demand, but the Master Bakers association, composed of thir- ty-five of the large bakeries, refused to |do so, claiming that their customers demand warm bread in the morning and that under these conditions it would be impossible to meet the de- mand. The Master Bakers association say they will have no difficulty in fill ing the places and the strikers threat len to set up portable ovens and run them in competition with the associa- tion.
