GIVE UP HOPE
OF AGREEMENT
Peace ENJOYS Do Not Believe Settle
Inent Gan Be Reached.
Final issues Referred to Home Gov
crnments for Decision 49, Neither
President Nor Powers viii See
Chance of Peace Shpwrecked
Without Final Effort.

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. l9.-~BIack
pessimism reigns st Portsmouth. The
prevailing view ia that the fate OF the
peace conference IL already settled,
that It has ended In failure, and that
all that now remains il for the plenipo-
tentiarier to meet on Tuesday, TO which
day they adjourned yesterday afternoon
upon completing the consideration OF
the Japanese terms, sign the final pro-
tocol, go through the conventions and
bid each other farewell. In other
words, that the meeting Tuesday will
be what diplomacy calls the 4seance
d'adieu.n
but there 10 still room for hope OF a
compromise. Neither President Roose-
valt nor the powers will see the chance
OF peace shipwrecked without a fanl
effort, and that pressure il being exert
cd, especially 1t Toxic, to induce Japan
to moderate her terms, 10 beyond ques-
ton. just what is being done or 10 to
be done has not transpired. King Ed
ward 10 understood to be now lending a
helping hand and the financiers OF the
world are known to be sxsrting al. s.Aslz
energies. At Toxic and st. Petersburg
the final issue will be decided.

FOR DEEPER COLUMBIA.


Portland, Aug. 18.-Need of liberal
appropriations from congress for the
Columbia river is obvious to the Trans
Mississippi Commercial congress, and
when Major W. G. Langftt. United
States engineer, spoke yesterday before
that body on the benefits which ade-
quate appropriations would bring and
pointed out the results the United
States engineers could attain, the con-
gress manifested its approval with
hearty applause. A resolution, calling
on the national government to hasten
improvement of the waterway will be
urged by the Washington, Oregon and
Idaho delegations in the congress and
no doubt will be adopted.
Leaders of the congress in tue last
two days have frequently remarked that
the further improvement of the Co.
lumbia river is the most important
river and harbor work before the gov
eminent on the Pacific coast, and one
of the most important in the United
States, and they say this whether they
come from Texas, where Galveston and
houston need appropriations, or from
Louisiana, where New Orleans requires
deeper Mississippi and more extern
sive levee system is needed, or from
Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska and the Da-
kotas, where the Missouri river is in
need of better chanel, or from the Up
per Mississippi region, which desires
better waterway to St. Louis.

LIKELY TO COMPROMISE.
ENJOYS Laboring Hard to Agree on
Basis for Peace.

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 1.-THE
prospects Of peace are distinctly bright
er. The plenipotentiaries are laboring
with a seriousness and earnestness
which leave not the slightest doubt that
both are anxious to conclude a treaty.
Though the main points remain to be
contested and the plenipotentiaries
speak as though the conference would
go to pieces unless the other side gave
way, the spirit of compromise is in the
air. When he returned to the hotel
last night, Mr.. Witte, who was tired
out with his hard days work, said:
II am doing all I can do for peace
OF the eight articles we have already
considered, | have yielded seven. No
other statesman in Russia would have
dared to do so much and 1 have done
what | have done on my own RESPONSE
bility."
From an authoritative source it is
now possible to forecast with fair de.
gree OF accuracy that the crisis will
come on next Monday. Articles 7 and
., dealing with the fate of the Chinese
Eastern railway, having been disposed
OF yesterday, there remain in addition
TO the cession of Sskhalin, which was
passed over, the question of indemnity

ORIENTAL TRADE
AND IMMIGRATION
Delegates Attend Meeting In Portland
From Every State West of the
Mississippi--Work of Reclamation
Service and Columbia River VIII
Receive Attention.

Portland, Aug. 17.--Representing all
states and territories west of the Mis-.
sissippi river, including Hawaii and
the Philippines, the Trans-Mississippi
Commercial congress met yesterday
morning in sixteenth annual assembly
for session of four days, in the audi
torium at the fair, presided over by
President Theodore B. Wilcox, OF Port
land, and after number of welcoming
speeches and responses, adjourned t
noon, to met againg this morning.
The congress contains captains OF In
dustry and masters OF commerce from
the entire western two-thirds area OF
the United Statesmen OF brains and
lame and force---gatheied to deliberate
on topics of national and common
wealth concern, and to bring results Of
their discussions to the doors of the
national congress at Washington, or
other departments of government, or
wherever else they may serve the pub
lie interest,
Prominent speakers will treat of
such subjects a. Oriental trade, immi-
grafton and Chinese exclusion; the
merchant marine; rivers and harbors,
irrigation and government reclamation
projects; government regulation OF
railroads and rates, creation of min
ing department of the national govern
ment.
The Chinese immigration question
will bring forth differences Of opinion.
AS to irrigation, Oregon and Washing
ton are very impatient with the slow
progress of immigration work by the
national government, and inclined to
censure the Reclamation service for the
delay, while other states, notably Cali
fornia, Idaho and Colorado, where pro-
jects are under way, will be disposed
to squelch such movement. A de-
termined effort will be made by mining
states calling on congress to estab-
lish Department of mining. Enlarg-
ed powers for the Interstate Commerce
commission will be urged by a strong
element, for government control of the
railroads annd interstate commerce rail
rates. The Columbia will adopt vigor-
GUS resolutions in behalf of large con-
gressional appropriations.

THERE ARE OTHERS.
Bennington Is Not the Only Warship
With Weak Boilers.

Washington, Aug. 2l.-The findings
of the board of inquiry that investigat-
ed the Bennington disaster are expect
ed to be given out today. snice the
boilers Of the gunboat exploded, killing
and wounding so many of the crew,
an investigation has been going on to
determine the condition of engines and
boilers ON other ships of the navy.
The results have been surprising.
Some discoveries were made, and some
rather unpleasant ones. Several vessels
have been ordered to the navy yard for
repairs to their engine room equipment.
The names OF these vessels are withheld
at the Navy department. 1t may be
said, though, on the best authority,
that the conditions which have SO far
been revealed win in all probability
result in some decided changes of the
naval regulations realizing to the duties
OF deck and engine room officers.
The announcement Of the ships whose
boilers have been discovered to be de-
fective and OF the changes to be made
in the regulations may be made long
after the Bennington figures have been
published. Secretary Bonnaparte is a
believer in legitimate publicity and
thinks the department should take the
initiative in furnishing to the press
any information that should properly
be made public.

TROLLEY BROKEN IN PIECES.


Butte, Mont, Aug. 22-Ten persons
we're killed and more than a score were
injured, some fatally, here tonight, as
the result of freight car dashing into
a crowded open trolley car at the cross
ing OF the street car and the Great
Northern railroad tracks ON Utah
street.
Passengers on the car, men, women
and children, were returning from Co
lumbia Gardens. The motorman, az
usual, stopped his car before reaching
the railroad crossing. At that moment
"a Butte, Anaconda Il Pacific yard en-
CINE was making q flying switch OF
loaded freight cars across Utah street.
The motorman, thinking everything
was clear, started across the railroad
track, when the trolley car was struck
by freight car, thrown % feet and
crumbled into kindling wood. The
freight car landed ON top of the man
gled passengers.

FIRE DEALS DEATH.


Portland, Aug. 19.--Fire originating
at 2:20 O'Clock this morning in the
State Room inn, on Thurman, between
Twenty-sixth and Twcnty-seventh
streets, one block from the main en-
trance to the Lewis and Clark exposi-
ton, completely destroyed the structure
and the adjoining residence OF At
torney Van Dusen, and incinerated two
or more occupants Of the inn.
Special Policeman j. H. Roy turned
in the alarm and endeavored to arouse
occupants OF the building and bring as
sistance to them. The structure was
frame, two stories in height, built to
serve the purpose OF a temporary hotel
during the exposition period, and the
fire gained such Roadway and fastened
SO greedily upon the timbers that the
occupants had small chance OF escape
unless awakened about the time the
flames we're first seen breaking out Of
the roof and walls.
The dead. Unknown man, body
badly charred; boy, having one leg am
putated, also badly charred.
The injured Mrs. Ida Harper, burn
ed and bruised; Miss Anna hubert,
burned and bruised; Mrs. syan Zant,
burned about face and injured by jump
ing from veranda; Miss Van Zant,
burned about face; A. @. Collander,
cut about head, burned and bruised (;
Joe Stubs, severely burned.

NEW DOCK ON THE SOUND.
Navy Department Prefers It There In
stead of Mare Island.

Washington, Aug. 21.-It is believed
from the attitude Of an official of the
Navy department that congress will be
asked next winter to make an appropri-
alton for new drydock on Puget
sound. The naval authorities are
unanimous in declaring that there is
immediate need for better docking ia
cilities on the Pacific coast, and are
equally unanimous in believing it I'M
wise to build such a dock at the Mare
Island navy yard, because of the bad
channel approaches.
II another dock is authorized, it il
preferred that it be located at Bremen
ton, ON the sound. The only thing to
check this recommendation will he ad-
verse action by the cabinet, which NAV
deem it inadequate, in view of the con.
dition OF the treasury, to seek money
for the new dock at this time.

TARIFF ON WHEAT REDUCED
Biggest Cut Is On the Rate to the
Port of Shanghai.

Tacoma, Wash, Aug. 49, Effective
at once the tariff on wheat between
Puget Sound ports and the regular
ports in the Orient has been reduced
by the Oriental line steamship compa-
MES from So to 81 per ton of 2. 900
pounds, and to Shanghai the rate has
been reduced from $3.50 to $3.50 per
ton.
Inc announcement of the reduction
was made at the local Offices of the
ureat Northern railway company today
and 1t is understood that the rate has
been agreed upon by all of the wheat
carrying lines plying between Puget
sound and the Orient. The ports to
which the 81 rate applies are Yoke
ia nama' Kobe, Nagasaki and Hongkong.
The higher rate of $3.50 is applied to
shanghai because of the difficulty ex-
perienced in reaching that port.

TUBE SYSTEM FOR BAY CITY


Greater Rapidly.
San Francisco, Aug. 2l.- The pneu'
matte tube system. which Is used with
great success In Eastern cities, will at
near date be filling it's important
functions In the local postofilce. Nv.
erything is ready for the installation oil
the system, and all that deters inc
postal authorities from giving this city
that improvement Ia the proper ioca-
ton at the ferries.
The government forbids the placing
of ths system in other than buildings
which will insure permanency. me
present building at the ferries occupied
by he postofIice Is regarded as a tenn
porary structure, and the only location
suitable will be In the Ferry building.
The harbor commissioners have been
applied to for space and II they grant
the request the work will begin imme-
diately.
About 30 per cent OF the local mail
passes through the Ferry postofiice, and
when that station, with its force OF
clerks, Is transferred TO the new build
ing at Seventh and Mission, tie postal
service OF this city is going to be
greatly hamphered. The business com
munity OF this city as we'll as others
were considerably interested over the
matter, and the agitation resulted in
the department at Washington giving
1t serious attention.
The tube is eight inches in the clear,
and each carrier will hold 450 letters.
At test recently made at Chicago,
800 900 letters were sent through in
one hour. San Francisco mail is about
300, 600 letters per day, and with the
tube system local mail could be handled
with great efficiency. The majority OF
the mail will be worked and sorted at
the main posrofice, and sent through
the tube to the Ferry station, where il
will be pouched for trains and steam
ers. All incoming mail will be sent
directly to the main postoffice.
