The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1907-05-26

The little three masted schooner Lil-
lebonne arrived in the river yesterday
morning. She has been expected for
some time and was awaited rather anx-
iously. The schooner left Manila on
March 7th, so consequently was 10 days
making the passage which is to say the
least good deal more than the aver.
age. Captain johnson says that although
no startling incidents Of any kind oc-
curred on the voyage. still there were a
lot Of little things constantly happen.
ing which contributed to delay. The
ship encountered typhoons in the China
Sea and in her condition she was in no
case to take them as they came, and
make the best Of them, but, in the ex-
pressive language Of the captain, "She
had to be nursed through them like a
sick child" Four years in the eoastwise
trade Of the Philippines is not
conducive TO the best up-keep and
condition Of any vessel, and, like the
rest, the Lillebonne suffered from lack
OF proper attention, proper repairs and
soforth. There are no skilled ship car.
penters or eaulkers or repair men of any
kind in the Islands. Then an entirely
native crew, none of whom had made
an ocean voyage, was not helpful to
the best results. However, the little
schooner weathered everything and all
that she lost was a goat. Her jibboom
went in one storm, but that did not
phase Captain johnson. What troubled
him most was that he was the only man
who could speak English on the ship,
and that he ran short of tobacco except
Manila cigars! The captain reports
great activity in Manila, business is
brisk, and there is lots of work-notably
on the government dock construction.
The Lillebonne is owned by F. N. Har.
rison & Company, of Portland. She is
the only boat they own and is reported
to be for sale. She brought no cargo,
except one writing desk, billed to the
Pacific Lnmber Exporting Company Of
Portland; the rest was ballast.

Columbus, O., July 3O--Before the
republican state central committee
met this afternoon, friends Of secre-
tary Taft claimed an addition Of three
votes in the committee on endorsing
the secretary for the presidency be-
cause Of Foraker's letter published
last night. Politicians generally said
today that Foraker's letter places him
squarely in the fight for the presi-
Dental nomination. Taft supporters
assert they would have at least thir-
teen in the committee for the endorse
ment Of Taft, probably fifteen or sew
enteen. Foraker leaders insisted they
could prevent the endorsement Of Taft
but gave no figures.
