British Vessels Will Load Wheat fol
the United Kingdom.

| Balfonr, Guthrie & co. chartered
the British ship Langdale yesterday TO
load wheat at Portland for the United
Kingdom. paying the union rate Of 27s
Cd. The vessel is now IN the orient,
but IL expected to sail shortly for the
Pacific coast.
Within the past few days three ships
have been engaged at the same figures
10 load at Portland for European ports.
and during the coming week Ii is ex-
pected that the list will be increased.
From the appearance Of things the long
deadlock has been broken and the
ship owners union Is going TO win its
point.
When the owners organized a short
time ago and decided to raise rates
from 20s to 27s 6d the statement was
freely made by those who are In po-
sition to keep posted on such matters
that the advance was too high to per-
NIT Of any vessel being chartered. They
lprophesed that the union or combine
would not hold together and that
eventually the owners would be obliged
to accept whatever rates they were of
fered. The explanation was made that
the chartering of ships Is like any
other line Of business, depending solely
upon the law of supply and demand
II was also argued that the French ship
owners who had taken up with the or
ganization idea would soon become
anxious TO earn the bounty which their
government allows for every mile of
distance their vessels traverse. and
rather than permit them to lie idle,
they would take whatever rates they
could get. The charters which have
been effected within the past few days
show that these conclusions were ar
rived at rather hastily.

sY BALL TO THE POLE.
Rolling machine intended to Be Blown
Over Land and Water.

A novel scheme 70 reach the north
pole has been devised by Prof. Nissen
of Chicago. whose purpose IL 70 start
himself up In a gigantic air-bag and
10 be blown northward over the Arctic
Ice and snow. This huge bag, he
thinks, would roll over small cottage

Il stone Says II. \. Barnum, who de-
scrlbed this odd arrangement In Popu-
lar Mechanics: Already an expert
mental bali has been constructed and
tried on Lake Michigan. The ball Is
thlrty-two feet long and twenty two
feet In diameter. Through
the center runs steel axle which is
held In place by numerous ropes, which
radiate out like the spokes Of bicycle
on the axle boat is suspended in
which the traveller sits. At
one end Is window, and at the other
end Is a small door that will just admit
of the body OF a man. A contraction
OF about six inches takes place every
time one goes in or out. on the inside
there is suction pumq to be used to
replace the air that escapes and also to
supply the necessary fresh air for the
existence OF the man.
"The ball Is made OF heavy canvas,
OF fine texture, the seams being care
fully sewed with silk and the outside
treated with several coats Of water
proof varnish. The ball have just de-
scribed was built only for experiment
tai purposes and short journeys. The
advantage being that 1t can travel over
land and sea with equal ease, can roll
over the rugged hills that obstruct the
path or float peacefully ON the surface
of she water. The one he intends to
construct for his Arctic expedition is
to be much larger, being of dimensions
one hundred and fifteen feet by seventy
feet"
Nissen Is quoted as saying Dur

Nansen has been in the ice he looked

NATURE SPARES


The Stricken Rose From Grief.
What a fortunate provision of nature
II Is. that deprives the rose OF mental
suffering; for how poignant would be its
grief to discover. In the height Of its
blooming glory. that canker fed at its
heart, and that Its beauty and fragrance
were doomed forever. Nature always
spares the suffering; she Is q veritable
store-house of pleasing rewards, for
those who seek her aid In the years
gone by falling hair and grayness have
cast a gloom over the lives OF thousands
OF young women, but thanks to the in
vestigations OF scientists the true cause
OF hair destruction is now known to be

ment. He has not made special
study of financial matters, and would
not go into the treasury department as
an expert in that line, but his expert
ence as confidential secretary to Will
liam Mckinley and Theodore Roosevelt
has given him a grasp of the general
policy of the government such as is
possessed by few men.
Mr. Cortelyou was in the white
house during the trying times from
1894 to 1897, when President Cleve-
land struggled SO hard and resorted to
such extraordinary devices to keep the
nation on a gold standard, and there
after he was equally at home when Nc
Kinley and Lyman J. Gage carried the
country successfully through the new
conditions created by the Dingley law
and the war revenue act.
Tobacco Trust Offended.

interests are specifically opposed to the
continuance of Secretary Shaw. He
offended the tobacco trust at one time,
the Massachusetts, glovers on another
OCCASION and some other special inter
ests at various times by his treasury
decisions. In most cases the Secre-
tary was sustained completely by the
law officers of the government, but the
opinion has grown up in the east that
he is not disposed to be ''complacent"
in regard to special eastern interests,
and something in the nature of strong
fight is likely to be made against his re-
|tention in the cabinet.
when the secretary of the treasury
came to Washington to succeed L. ].
Gage he did SO with the distinct under
standing that he would remain until
March 4, 1905, and no longer. This
understanding was of his own creation
entirely. Since then the president has
not asked him to stay, and the secre-
tary of the treasury only arrived here
yesterday and has not yet participated
in a cabinet meeting since the cleo

Secretary Shaw is generally under

His brother, with the spark OF health
and ambition in his eye, successful
man, could not hold back his tears.
He patted John on the back. and told
him that il was good old world after
all. The days that were to come would
shine as brightly for his brother as
they would for him. John braced up,
and probably the first smile that had
Illuminated his countenance in months
showed. They boarded the last car
for the city.
John was in rags. He wore a shay
gy red beard and limped. He was the
typical hobo. When he walked into
the Harper house alongside his brother
the night porter started to head him
off. supposing that he had come in to
ask for a hand-out. The clerk was
asked if there was a clothing store
open. He teiephoned and got pro-

story.
"Oh. but that feels good" John said
when the flannels touched his skin. He
held his head up like the proud man
that he used to be when he walked out

TALE OF THE CITY
STREETS.

Two brothers who separated Is
years ago in Columbus. Ohio. met here
Saturday. John had fallen into a small
fortune. and set out to conquer the
vest. William was content to remain
at home. He had confidence in the
future of his chosen city. He coun-
;eled John TO do likewise. John was
decided. and there was no changing
him.
Both were then middle aged men.
They both had hard knocks, but had
Jared well. considering the start they
lad. John said he would keep his
brother posted as to his whereabouts.
He would take a run through the west
ern country and select some city in
which to locate and invest his money
The letters were of a hopeful and con-
ident tone at the beginning. but it was
not long until William was able to
1ot meeting with the success that he
had anticipated.
Eventually John lost all. but he did
not tell his brother. He was too proud
to admit defeat. The letters passing
between the brothers grew farther
apart. Then John dropped out of
sight entirely. William made inquiry
but could not get any trace of him. He
had given him up as dead. when, last
week. a letter came to him postmarked
Milan. Ill. II was from a man who had
heard Johns story. John was broken
physically and minus funds. William
was acquainted with his circumstances
and was told that unless he ordered
otherwise he would be sent to the poor
farm. William wired to care for his
brother. and by all means. not send
him to the poor farm. until he reached
him.
William and John met at Milan Sat
urday night. John is the younger OF
the two. but he looked 10 years older.
They shook hands, and John hung his
head. He was ashamed. He was glad
to see his brother. but at that moment

RAYMOND. the Chicago Tribune's
Washington correspondent, in discuss
ing the probability of cabinet changes
during the next administration of Presi-
dent Roosevelt. has some information
that IL IT proves to be true. substantl-
ates in a remarkable degree, the
charges made by Judge Parker during
the campaign as to the relations OF
Chairman Cortelyou and the admins
tration to the trust and moneyed in
terests. Notwithstanding that 1t was
this accusation to which President
Roosevelt took so much umbrage.
After referring to the likely changes
affecting the higher cabinet stations,
the correspondent referred to. says:
"As to the other members of the cabi-
net there is much more uncertainty.
Chairman Cortelyou will come back I'M
less in the meantime he is attracted
away permanently by some OF the great
corporation managers who have been
quick to recognize his extraordinary
capacity. The former secretary or the
department of commerce is young
man and decidedly a poor one. He
worked his way into a clerkship in the
postoffice department, from which he
was promoted to the white house, and
thereafter became secretary to the
president. His salary as secretary OF
commerce is a much larger income
than he has ever had, and yet he de-
voted to the work of organizing the
new department an energy and a ca
pacity which would have been highly
kx.- a
still has no money, and the expenses of
cabinet officer are far in excess of his
salary. no mater how rigid may be the
economy practiced.
For this reason there is a feeling
here that Mr.. Cortelyou may be tempt
ed away into private life. l happen to
know there are a number of we'll paid
places now at his disposal, and it is
quite likely the chairman OF the nA-
tional committee may recognize that 1t
is his duty to his family to accept some
one of these tempting offers.
Unless sidetracked in this way, Mr..
Cortelyou will come back to the cabi-
net. but not in all probability to his old
place. There have been stories af1oat
here for two or three days that Mr.
the treasury. l know that such an ap-
pointment has been privately discussed
in the highest and most influential Of
fcial circles.
Admitted Influence of the "Street.-
Strong eastern men have been
clamoring for some time for an eastern
secretary of the treasury. They say
the time is coming within a few months
or years. when IL will be necessary for
the government to support the street
by a judicious manipulation of govern
ment funds. The state of New York is
entitled under ordinary conditions to
a cabinet officer. The argument is ad-
vanced that New York City has more
dealings With the treasury department,
so far as the financial policy of the gov
eminent is concerned, than all the rest
OF the country. For this reason some
powerful interests in and about New
York City have begun to move for a
New York secretary Of the treasury.
During the campaign Chairman Cor
teiyou has been thrown with these peo-
pie. and they have come TO know his
industry. his intelligence, and his posi-
tive capacity for the science of govern.
