The boys were all III their hunks at the
time of the disaster. The night was
overcast. but it was not so dark that
objects could not be seen at some dis
lance.
The Ancona was considerably damaged
along her water line. The port authori-
ties have placed an embargo on the An
coma, which will remain here until the III
curry into the collision is completed.
Thus far only a single body has been
recovered by the divers who have gone
down to the wreck.
First Officer Myhre of the Georg Stage
attributes the accident to the Ancona

cona's bow crashed seven feet into the
training schoOne~'s side, bringing down
the latters masts and rigging and pre-
venting many of the cadets from gain
ing the deck. These who were not en-
tangled in the wreckage sprang on board
the AncOna and assisted in launching the
life boats. Myhre, himself, jumped into
the water and rescued many boys who
We're entangled in the rigging.
The Georg Stage was a schooner Of

today to pay the strike benefits to the

Portland Chamber of Commerce Asks In
vestigation of Chinese Exclusion in
Fear of Threatened Boycott.

Washington, d. c.. June 24-That the
threats of the commercial guilds of
China to boycott American-made goods
has raised a serious question in the minds
of this country's businessmen and manu-
facturers is indicated by telegram re-
ceived by President Roosevelt from the
Portland, Ore, chamber Of commerce.
This says in part:
The first consideration is q regard for the
nations honor, which demands faithful ard
fair performance of its treaty obligations.
Secondly, our commercial interests are
seriously threatened by the severe man.

NOW UP TO STRIKERS.
Rank and File of Chicago Transfers
Will Vote on Peace Offer of
Employers.

Chicago, ILL.,, June 24-The frank and
file'' of the striking teamsters were to-
day given an opportunity to say whether
the strike will continue. At meeting of
the transfers joint council it was decid-
ed to submit this to the men.
The three principal clauses in the en-
ployers' proposition which the strikers
will vote on will be the elimination of
the express drivers from the settlement,
the maintaining of police and armed
guards on the wagons after the strike
is called off, and the right to wear a
union button concealed.
1t is said that the employers are in
clined to take back a big percentage of
their ola teamsters, but it must be on
terms dictated by them.
Mr.. Farwell gave out the following
statement:
''Inasmuch as a settlement giving ade-
Quata protection to a non-union man
seems unlikely, the employers are now
preparing to refuse to take back any
striking teamster. In such an event, of
course no further conferences would be
held The strike has ceased to be a
strike, but is rather an annoyance. 1t
no longer has any effect on business"

COST OF LIVING SOARING.
Average Price Of All Necessary Articles
Higher Than Formerly, Bureau
Of Labor Finds

Washington, d. c., June 26.-Prices,
of fuel. clothing and practically all food:
products are constantly increasing, ac
cording to a bulletin just issued by the,
bureau of labor, covering the period from
1890 TO 1904. In the early '90s prices
were very high. but in the last four years
they have been steadily increasing, until
now they are relatively higher than i'll
1892, just before the memorable financial
and commercial depression. The period
of lowest prices was from 1894 to 1897.
The lowest price of beef was in April,
1896 when the best choice was quoted
at $3.50 to S4.25 per hundred pounds.
The highest price was the latter part of
August. 1902, when the price touched
81 60 to 50 per hundred pounds. Corn
was lowest in 1886 and highest in 1892.
In a table of comparison, in which the
average price for the years 1890 to 1899
is taken as the basis, sixteen articles OF
farm production, Including sheep, cattle,
hay. hogs, hides and grains are enumer
ated. All except fiaxseed increased over
the average price from 1890 to 1899.
Tie increase i'll prices in 1904 ranges
from rs per cent. on sheep and 81 per
cent. on cattle to 32.6 per cent. on corn.
35S per cent. on oats. 1913 per cent. on
wheat, and the top increase of 96.2 per
cent on New York state hops.

OPPOSES JURY TRIALS.
Secretary of War Taft Does Not
Think System Is Entire
Success

New Haven, Conn. June 26.-Secre-
tary of War Taft was the speaker of the:
day at the Class day exercises at Yale
university today. The secretary spoke
in part as follows:
One OF the most useful results of our re-
cent territorial expansion for those who
have had to do with uniting our new pos
sessions with this country and adjusting GER.
tain of the Spanish codes which we found
i'll Porto Rico and the PHILIPPINES to the
new American sovereignty has been the
comparative study made necessary for the
two great systems OF laW-the Roman, or
civil law, and the Anglo-SaX0n, or common
law
Those of US who have been educated in.
the principles Of the common law and have
not extended our study much into general
Jurisprudence, are apt to be narrow in our,
prcjndiceS III favor of the common law
ana are prone to think that there is very.
little for Us TO learn from the civil law
which can lie u9efully adopted by gov!
ernment in which the liberty o. the inGi
vidual is held sacred and the power oil
the government towards the subject or the
citizen is restrained by such careful regu-
lations as in England in America or any
of the popular self governments for which
either of those countries is responsible.
After referring TO the institution of the
writ of habeas corpus, trial by jury and
other means Of preserving the rights Of
the individual against the oppression Of
the government, Secretary Taft contin-
ued:
AS these served their purpose wei! in
ancient times, when the battle for civil
liberty was fought and won, the first inn
pulse of the American lawyer is to apply
them all as panacea to the government
and criminal procedure of our new posses
sions. But further Investigations, with a
deepening sense of responsibility for the
government of a body OF people whose wei
fare has been forced upon us as d sacred
trust, leads to a much more conservative
attitude in respect of the needed changes
III the existing procedure.
We have no right to force upon Porto
Ricans the Filipinos institutions of our
own which have proved of the highest benc-
fit to us unless we can see, on other than
mere sentimental grounds connected with
our own history, that such institutions will
now prove beneficial to them in their pres
cnt condition.
Trial by jury has been adopted in Porto
Rico. 1t has not been adopted in the Phil
ippines / do not think it too much to say.
however, that it has proved to be a failures
thus far in Porto Rico. The first question:
was in the Philippines, Shall it be adopted
in civil cases? 1t would seem unwise. 1t
is by no means clear that in our jurispru-
dence trial by jury in civil cases is an
in civil cases would relieve civil suits and
would not, l think, with proper appeal de-
priye any litigant of an impartial hearing

perpetrator may never be known, though
both the company and our department
are working on the case.
Il do not think the speed of TIE train
had anything to do with the wreck or
the number of people killed. The num-
Der killed was due to the fact that din
