lit is to them the solution of the

In such manner does the case stand;
the american company, against whom
h. strike mas been declared, has nei-
her suffered in its Interests. nor eX-
pc, fenced the injuries sustained by
commerce; neither in the presence of
the strikers has it continued to adopt
an attitude resolute and adverse.
Now the labor agitators re nov
ing in the direction of bringing about
a Strike Of the butchers and bakers
in order to help and further the claims
and demands f the stevedores.
And it is almost certain that there
will be found il those two bodies the
solid ,rity displayed by the cart drl-
vers.
Then, the situation will be still furt-
her complicated BY the increase Of the
numbers to be fed and the addition
to the ranks of the labo1ers now on
strike.
And in the face Of this what does
he government think Where does it
stand and what does it prop SC TO do?
Perhaps it contemplates concentra-
ting in the capital all the agents Of or
,er, in other words. the insntar police,
in order to be prepared for the lamen-
table tproo4bility of tumult, believing
that in doing this it will have fulfilled

accord great applause snd ovations,

The acting governor has failed.
The steps taken in the presence OF
the conflict have satisfied no one; be

PORTLAND. April IA we'll dress
ed stranger dropped into the fashion
able saloon of August Kratz, Sixth and
Washington streets, last night and
after buying a drink, asked permission
to wait short time. He opened con-
versation with Kratz and told him
that he was waiting for a man to
whom he had loaned S100. He said:
Il have just come from Minot, North
Dakota, and met this gentleman in
Portland He knew ali my people in
Minot and we became acquainted 1t
seenl5 that his cousin had just died
and he was short of ready money to
send the body home. | gave him $100
and he promised to be here at eleven
o'clock and pay me-"
The knowing Kratz at once informed
the stranger from Minot that he had
been bunkoed. The Minot man, how
ever, offered to bet $50 that his friend
was straight. Kratz snapped up the
bet. A moment before the stroke of
eleven in rushed the man with the bor-
rowed 800. Kratz paid the $50 and
soon afterward realized on whom the
bunco game had been played.

BOSTON, April 1.-THE Union Pa
ci6c mystery and the secret of the
Equitable Life fight are out at last, and
in ten days extraordinary developments
VIII occur 1t seems that the fight over
the affairs Of the Equitable is really a
contest between J. p. Morgan and his
friends on one side and E. II. Hartman
on the other for the Control OF the I'm
ion Pacific. With Morgan is James J.
Hill, while with Hartman are Hyde,
James Stillnan and Jacob Schiff
President Alexander is merely a fig
urehead and Morgan has been the real
power behind him from the start From
Morgan has come all the material with
which the attacks have been made on
Hyde. W. K. Vanderbilt of the New
York Central is the man who can settle
the battle, which will no doubt be the
greatest financial contest in history,
with tremendous possibilities. and one
that may overshadow the great North
ern Pacific fight that eliminated on
May g, 1901.
Early last week 220. 600 shares of Tn
ion Pacific were transferred to Wander
bilt. and Hartman was tnunderstruck
for he had no idea that Vanderbilt
owned such a block. and, with Stillman
was confident that he had the market
well in hand. Hartman does not know
where Vanderbilt stands. The directors
were hastily called together and de-
cided on 500, ,00o,00O in new stock to
prevent Morgan's control He will de-

CALL BUREAU, POST BUILDING.
WASHINGTON. April 11.-By a deci-
sion rendered by Attorney General
Moody to-day at the request of the
Department Of Commerce and Labor
the British steamship Daventry, al
though wrecked in the United States.
sold to an American and twice repaired
at an expense of more than three
quarters of her cost, is denied American
registry. This case has attracted con-
siderable attention among shipowners
and makes an important precedent.
On January 90 1903. the Dayentry
grounded off Cape Fear. was towed to
Newport News and repaired at a cost
OF s42, 900. In December of the following
year she grounded off Hunting Island
light and was again repaired at New
port News at a cost of $4,000. Last
January the British owners sold her to
a citizen of the United States for $71-
00e. American registry was applied for
under the statute providing for such
enrolment for any foreign built vessel
whenever such vessel is wrecked in the
United States and purchased and re-
paired by citizen of the United States,
provided such repairs amount TO three
fourths OF the cost of the vessel
Attorney General Moody in his deci-
sion says:
II repairs occasioned by two disasters may
be aggregated IL follows that the repair oc-
casioned by ten different wrecks may be ag-
gregated. The same part Of the vessel may
have been injured on each occasion so that
when the repairs occasored by the last wreck
have been completed nine -tenths OF the vessel
may even then be foreign built instead Of one
fourth which the statute contemplates. II
may be urged that the aggregate OF the vari-
Gus sums expended by her owners upon her
repairs equals three-fourths of her value but
the answer TO this argument is found in an
analysis of the statute which conclusiveIy
shows that the inducement Of American reg
istry was offered for the practical rebuilding
of the vessel in the United States
