ma Is Settled.

When the oriental liner Indrapur;
departs from the Columbia this morn.
Ing she will bid adieu to this port. Her
contract with the Portland
Steamship Company has expired. and
with the other Indra liners she will
seek new field. The Indravilli
reached Yokohama on Monday, and
she is to depart from the Japanese
port shortly on her last run to the
Columbia. The Indrasamha sailed
from Yokohama for Astoria direct on
Monday to take her parting cargo
from this port
The Indrapura has on board cargo
rather low in value, as compared with
those heretofore taken out by the ORR
entail liners. This is due to the fact
that flour exports on the vessel are
not as great as has heretofore been the
case. However, she takes large
quantity of barley, in all 1O6,755
bushels, for use of the Japanese army.
OF flour she takes 1868 barrels, or
less than one half of the amount usu-
ally taken. She also takes 1900 cases
Of cigarettes, some plug tobacco, sheet
steel, flour bags and bones. Three
corpses, destined for Chinese burying
grounds, are listed on the manifest.
The total value of the cargo is $780,
ss2.
There are three steerage passengers
aboard-two Japs and one Chinese
and no cabin passengers.

Barks Go Under.

Tutuila, Samoa, March %, via San
Francisco, April THE Uruguayar
bark Anna Begonaka arrived in Pago-
Pago harbor March from Cardiff,
Wales, with a cargo Of 5000 tons Of
coal for the naval station at Tutuila.
While on the way here the Anna Be-
gonaka sighted the Norwegian bark
Sappho flying a signal Of distress.
The chief officer of the Anna Begonaka
boarded the Sappho and found that
the vessel was leaking and it was i'm
possible to keep her afloat. 1t was
decided to abandon the ship and the
captain and nine Of her crew embark
ed on the Anna Begonaka.
The Sappho, Of 494 tons register,
left Ship Island, on the Mississippi
river, laden with cargo of pitch pine
bound for Natal, South Africa, July
%, 1908. When in the Gulf of Mex
leo heavy seas and storms were en-
countered and the vessel sprang
leak. Slow progress was made In the
voyage and the vessel leaked so badly
that the crew by working night and
day, could not keep her afioat.
There being no Norwegian consul in
Tutuila, Captain Underwood, the Unit
ed States commandant, rendered aid
to the distressed seamen by paying
sufficient money for their subsistence
and passage to Auckland, where they
will get further assistance from the
Swedish consul.

Missing Schooner Founders and Crew

Missing Schooner Founders and Grew
of Nine Men Perishes.
Advices received last night from
Victoria convey she Information that
the four -masted schooner Kailuau has
been lost. The schooner sailed March
S from Puget sound for San Francisco
with cargo OF ss5.ooO feet of lumber.
and the revenue cutter Manning had
been sent out to search for her, as she
was known to have encountered bad
weather.
News of the loss of the schooner was
brought to Victoria by the officers OF
the steamer Tees, arriving there from
the west coast OF Vancouver island.
According to these advices, the Kali
uau foundered off Kyoyuot island. and
1t is the belief that the entire crew of
nine men perisked.
The Tees also brought to Victoria
more information tending to confirm
the belief that the British ship La
NORMA has been lost. Large quantities
of wreckaye from the Lamorna were
found along the coast, including a
lifeboat which had been badly dam
aged Some of the ships matches and
a portion of her deck were also found
in Barclay sound, and the condition of
the wreckage indicates that the vessel
certainly met her fate in the storms
which prevailed about March 10.

Only HEARTACHE IN
PLATONlC LOVE.

Platonic love is platonic foolishnesz.
Il looks nice on paper. 1t sounds We'll
in high sounng. stilted sentences.
Put when put in the balance with
common sense it is lighter than wind
blown mist, writes Dorothy Fenimore
in the Chicago Journal.
For this reason, probably, platonlc
love does not thrive in our American
civilization, which has a cold-blooded
way of looking facts in the face and
calling them by their right names.
We have friendships and flirtations;
we have true love strong an :deep
between betrothed and married lovers:
We have an unrequited love, a painful
malady, a thorn in the flesh of tn
lover; we have follies and infidelity Of
thought and action, and We have di-
vorce courts in plenty.
But platonic love. that etherealized
human passion. does not exist among
us. Such colorless incense of one
soul before another belongs to a ro-
mantle sentimental people. In our
practical world of every day life there
is nothing in the notion-except the
heartache.

position was a very insignificant one
and that he would never have an Op

duty. as the highest officer in the

During,a a heavy storm on the A-.-ht

loose from the United States steam

Newport, r. l., to Annapolis, Md. The
"Moccasin' was once dashed on the
beach, but the adder" was saved
from similar fate by Boatswain
Deary He saw his opportunity He
was on the Peoria" which, at the
moment, lay 600 feet away from the

running high and filled with floating
ice. Nevertheless Boatswain Deary
