SAILING VESSELS
FIN ON SOUND
DESPITE HEAVY TRADE. LESS
THAN TEN FOREIGN-BOUND
VESSELS IN DISTRICT.

PORT TOWNSEND. Aug. 13.-Witn
Puget Sound shipping increasing by
leaps and bounds. and ocean commerce
from Sound ports attaining a magni-
tude not excelled by other than two
or three ports of the nation, the rapid
passing of the days Of sailing craft is
more forcibly demonstrated than ever
before. Never within a score of years
has the trade with sailing ships on the
Sound been at so low a stage as is
shown by present records.
But four foreign sailing vessels are
now loading at Sound ports. These in
clude the German ship De Ruyter
British bark Falls of Garry, Chilean
bark Ricart de Soler and German ship
Tromp. The American lotions in ad-
dition to those enumerated do not in
crease the number of all vessels load
ing for foreign ports to ten
With the California lumber market
so poor as to cause the laying up OF
practically all the sailing coasters the
business of Puget Sound that relies on
sailing craft is practically at a stand
still. No small amount of speculation
is being given to the failure of wheat
shippers to charter vessels for their
trade. So far as has been announced
nothing has been done toward securing
sailing vessels for handling the 1907
wheat crop.

DRAWN BY JAMES G. BLAINE
Old Bill Reintroduced by Representa-
tive Williams.

Washington, Dec 17-Representa-
tive John Sharp Williams has intro
duced the old Blaine bill to admit into
all ports of the United States free of
duty all products of the American hem
isphere on which no export duties are
imposed whenever and so long as such
nation shall admit to its ports free Of
all taxes certain United States prod
uctS
1t is provided that the act is to be-
come effective thirty days after pas
sage by public proclamation of the
president.
In explaining his action in intro
ducing bill fathered at one time by
leading Republican Mr.. Williams
said it was the only thing the Repub-
lican party had attempted to do to
help the farmers of the country and
that Messrs Blaine and Mckinley had
voted for it in committee, but that the
other Republican members had op-
posed It.

GEVENUE LESS THAN COST
y. J. Hill Testifies Regarding Lumber
Rates.

Washington, Dec. Thames ]. Hill,
the Great Northern railroad, was the
principal witness in the hearing be-
fore the interstate commerce commits
sion of the complaints of the Wash
ingtOn and Oregon lumber associa-
tions against the railway lines of the
North Pacific states with respect to an
advance in rates on lumber and forest
products.
Mr. Hill said that his attention was
attracted to the situation last summer
and on investigation he found that
the cost to his road of handling the
lumber traffic from the Northwest was
far greater than the revenue gained
from it. The difficulty was, in his
judgment, that the cars had to be
hauled by the railroads from Eastern
points to Oregon and Washington
practically empty. The haul of sub
sthntially 1000 miles cost the lines
about $3.50, while the revenue per car
from the Northwest to the points of
destination of the lumber products
was about 5000. This produced a loss
of $50 per car. This situation was
so serious, from the viewpoint of the
railway lines, that it was necessary to
take some action that would remedy
it. 1t was decided to increase the
rates on lumber and lumber products,
not with any idea of prohibiting the
traffic in lumber from the Northwest,
but merely with the idea of protecting
the interests of the railway lines.
From his point of view it manifestly
was impossible for the carriers to haul
the lumber traffic from the Northwest
to points of destination in the East
at the former rates and to obtain a
fair and equitable rate on lumber was
the only reason the railroads had for
making an advance in their tariffs.

T|LLMAN ON FINANCE
South Carolina Senator Makes
Characteristic Speech.
CRlTIClSES Mr.. CORTELY0U
Expresses the Opinion That the See.
retary of the Treasury Has Violated
the Spirit of the Law If He Has Not
Violated the Law Itself.

Washington, Dec. IA character
istic speech was delivered in the SEN
ate by Senator Tillman. Mr. Tillman
spoke on his resolution directing an
investigation of the recent bond is,
sues and clearing house certificates,
but he took occasion to comment on
a good many matters concerning finan-
cial affairs of the country.
The treasury, he said, has dumped"
its money in Wall street and the coun-
try has praised the patriotism of j.
Pierpont Morgan "in aiding the coun-
try to get grip on itself and not let
everybody go crazy and precipitate
further loss and horrors on the coun-
try"
Mr.. Tillman said he did not know
whether the criticism of the chair
man of the house committee on bank
ing and currency (Fowler of New Jer-
sey) had caused the secretary of the
treasury to halt in the issuance of
bonds, but change of plan seemed to
have been made and he had not been
able to learn how much of the pro-
posed bond issue had been put out.
He expressed the opinion that the
secretary had violated the spirit of
the law if he had not violated the law
itself.
Speaking Of a published interview
with the president by Mayor Dahlman
of Omaha, in which the president is
alleged to have said that if he was
responsible for the panic he was glad
of it as it had brought to view the
rotten condition of the country's
finances, he said:
Candidate for Ananias Club.
81 fear that Mr.. Dahlmann is in i'm
minent danger of joining the Ananias
club. Perhaps somebody here will use
the telephone and find out about that. !"
He said that he would not worry
about the panic, but he found so many
facts connecting the treasury depart
ment, even the senate and the house
of representatives, with Wall street
IALob llC " cn ODIlSCd W lSSOSSllAEC lIClAis
especially as the farmer, the cotton
planter and the manufacturer were
affected. He said he wanted to know
who struck BILLY Patterson"
Mr.. Tillman said he believed that
President Roosevelt was a patriot and
that while he had been guilty of many
indiscretions and said many things
which in cooler moments he would
have been willing to take out of print
he did not believe that the president
felt any satisfaction whatever in hav-
ing been instrumental in the present
financial paralysis, as had been
charged.
The senator held aloft a clearing
house certificate and in loud voice
called upon the senate to look at it.
Here is a specimen" he declared,
that looks like what you call Con-
federate money-shin plaster-and yet
they are issued by national banks"
AS between the "shin plasters" in
the form of clearing house certificates
and greenbacks he said he would pre-
fer greenbacks based on railroad and
other stocks and bonds, although they
were, in his opinion, filled with water.

is Not Yet Known.
Birmingham, Ala, Dec. 17-An ex.
plosion, probably of dusA occurred in
No. / mine of the Yolande Coal and
Coke company at Yolande, thirty-five
miles from Birmingham. Forty collins
are being prepared here to be sent to
Yolande. The collins ordered would
indicate the number of dead.
Within an hour after the explosion
fourteen men had crawled out of the
mine, all burned, Reports vary as to
the number of men in the mines and
whether they will be found dead The
number is placed at between sixty
and seveuty-five.
While officials of the company were
hoping against the worst a rescue
party was forcing its way into the
mines. Women and children and
brave men stood despairingly outside
the mines.
I But little hope is expressed that
many VIII get out alive. Little houses
just outside of the mine were de.
stroyed by the immense amount of
dust and timber blown out of the
mine.
At the local offices of the Yolande
company the statement is given out
that there will not be many found
dead, the first work of the rescue party
giving encouragement
Later, however, the rescue party
brought out dead and injured men con-
tinually.
A late message from Yolands is to
the effect that out of ninety men who
went into the mines seventeen had
been taken out alive All hope has
been given up for the others. There
was great excitement around the
mine and more collins were asked for.

Arguments in Legal Contest Continued

Chicago, Dec. 17.-The legal argu-

against Edward H. Hartman, involv-

Central Railroad company, were con.
tinued before Judge Ball in the su-
perior court.
Edgar Fl. Farrar, counsel for Mr.
Fish, devoted his attention particularly
to the Railroad Securities company Of
New Jersey. which holds the stock Mr..
Hartman wants to vote. Mr.. Farrar
urged that the charter of this cor
poration contains the power and germs
of monopoly in its worst form. 1t was,
he said the Northern Securities COM
pany, not confined to the control of
two corporations, but securities COM
pany which spreads its wings over
every state and territory in the Union.
He contended that such a corporation
could not come into Illinois and own
and vote stocks in the public service
corporations of this state, since to do
so would be in conflict with the public
policy laws of the state. Mr.. Farrar
had eighty-four law books on the table
