SENATOR HAD DATES MIXED.
Why Missouri Statesman Was Late
at Cabinet Dinner.

Ex-senator Cockrell probably IL the
only man In Washington who over
kept President Roosevelt waiting at .
dinner. 1t was one OF the cabinet
dinners that were given by the sec-
retary OF the interior and Mrs. Hitch
cock three years ago. The president
and Mrs. Roosevelt arrived In duo
time. as did all the other guests ex-
cept Senator Cockrell.
After a delay OF almost an hour
Mrs. Hitchcock invited her guests to
the dining-room and dispatched
messenger to the residence OF Sena. |
tor Cockrell to make inquiries. Great
rear was felt that the Missourian had
started and had fallen by the way, as
the day was cold and wintry one. /.
The fact was. however. that the sen.
ator was sitting quietly at home when
the messenger got there, clad In his
dressing gown and slippers and con-
graduating himself that he could be
indoors. He had put the date OF the
dinner In his calendar In large and
attractive handwriting. but had for.
gotten to turn leaf and was, ac-
cordingly, day behind time. No one
appreciated the joke more than did
the president. and the dinner that be-
gan In anxiety aud apprehension end.

Tame Beaver In csrsds.

In Manitoba the beaver Ia protected
by law from either being shot or
trapped. and the protection results In
increase. Colonies OF the animals can
now be found both on the Ochre and
Turtle rivers. to the east OF Dauphin.
One colony has started building
dam on the Ochre river at the railway
bridge near the village. So tame have
the animals become that II is . COM
mon thing for the residents to visit
the locality in the evening and watch
the industrious animals at work. In
one or two cases the work OF the
beaver In damming the Turtle river
has proved loss to farmers In tho
vicinity by their land being flooded
and the water overhowing 1t. Tho
matter was laid before the govern
ment in Winnipeg by parties interest
cd, and permission obtained to open
the dams. but not to molest the AMI
mails. As the beaver increases rapid.
ly, the government Is likely to have
another problem on its hands to
solve before q great while.

JUDGE SEARS DEAD.
Member of State Circuit Court for
Multnomah County.

Portland, Aug. 26.-Judge Alfred F
Sears, Jr., of the State Ciriuit court,
one of the foremost jurists of Oregon
died of apoplexy at his residence, SOC
East Madison street, shortly before 4
O clock yesterday morning. Death was
altogether unexpected, for not the
slightest warning to members of the
family foretold the end. The funeral
will be held Tuesday.
Judge Sears was in his usual health
Saturday. He was about the city, and
to many of his friends and associates
seemed in the best of spirits. He re-
tired about..10 o'clock Saturday night,
rather earlier than usual, and it was
not until Mrs. Sears stepped into his
room at o'clock to see if he was sleep
ing we'll, that it was known he had
passed away.
DR.. A. J. Giesy was Immediately
called, but the judge was past all med
ical aid. He had ceased breathing
when found by Mrs. Sears, and the
opinion Of the physician is that he
had died but a short time before. No
sound was heard from his room, and
this leads to the belief that the end
was peaceful and painless.

CHANGE LOOKED FOR.
Telegraph Operators Expect Peace
ONertures Soon,

Chicago, Aug. ga crisis will be
reached in the telegraphers' strike
within the next few days, according to
the expectations of Chicago operators.
Announcement to this effect was made
today by Frank Likes, chairman of the
local strike committee, at a meeting
Mr.. Likes declined to disclose fully his
reasons for making this statement, but
from other sources it was learned that
the operators are expecting that some
sort of an offer will be received from
the companies within a short time.
In view of the determined stand
taken by both corporations against
dealing with the strikers collectively,
this report was viewed with skeptlcism
in many quarters.
1t is said that many of the strikers
would be willing to return to work up
on the promise that they be given free
use of typewriters and moderate wage
increase. Recognition of the union, it
is declared would not be insisted upon.
The statement of Mr.. Likes concern
ing possible crisis was made during a
dispute concerning the advisable of
holding strikers meeting tomorrow.

FIR BLOCKS ARE THE BEST.
Oregon Product ExceIs Other Woods
for Switch Blocks.

Salem-Another instance of the su-
periority of fir wood over the harder
varieties of forestry products for COM
mercial and industrial purposes is illus
trated in a communication to the rail-
road commission received from Man
ager E. Lyons, of the Northern Pacific
Terminal company, of Portland, who
states that fir wedges will be used in
future for swith and frog blocks in
place of hard wood blocks because it is
superior adaptation to this use has been
demonstrated fully by past expert
ments.
Mr.. Lyons letter is in reply to a
notice from the commission calling at
tention to the dereliction of the COM
pany in permitting switch and frog
blocks to remain out of place in the ter
minal yards, and Mr.. Lyons assures
the commission that this matter, the
blame for which he attaches to the ne
glect of the track department, will be
attended to more carefully in the fu-
ture. He says that the hard wood
blocks work out OF place on the light
track and under heavy traffic, while fir
blocks remain securely wedged where
driven,

HAVE NO COAL FOR EXPORT.
American Companies Obliged to Re-
fuse European Orders.

Philadelphia, Aug. 27.-Because of
its inability t. fill the order, the Phila-
delphi q Reading Coal & Iron company
was compelled to decline contract for
%, 200 tons of anthracite, the order for
which was rendered by representatiy e
of the Austro- Hungarian chamber of
commerce. The proposed purchaser
was willing to pay the regular price for
placing the coal on board vessels either
here or in New York.
Another order for 200 900 tons of BIZ
luminous coal, wanted by the Italian
government, is also being offered tc the
largest soft coal operators of the Unit
ed States, with little prospect Of its be-
ing taken, because Of the great expense
in delivering it to its destination.
The great demand for coal by foreign
governments is attributed to the in
creased coal consumption by their war
ships. All native coal is being used
for this purpose, and the supply is not
equal to the demand.

WHOLE FLEET TO COME.
Sixteen BattIeships to Sail for Pacific
in December.

Washington, Aug. 27.-The torpedo
coast when the battleships sail in De-
cember consists OF eight vessels, the
Hull, Truxton, Whipple, Hopkins,
Worden, Stewart, Lawrence and Nc
Donough. Whether all will be fit for
the voyage is doubtful.
The fotilla will be commanded by
Lieutenant H. I. Cone, who commanded
the Dale to China four years ago.
The number of battleships which
will 60 to the Pacific is 16, not six, as
stated in dispatches by an error in
transmission. Ships already on the
Pacific will increase this number to l9.
The official statement of the presi
dent after his conference with acting
secretary of the Navy department, Rear
Admiral Bronson, chief ,of the bureau
of navigation, and Rear Admiral Evans,
who will command the feet, is as fol-
lows:
"The conference between the presi
dent and the three officers OF the navy
was called to decide details in connec-
ton with the Atlantic feet going to the
Pacific.
"The fleet will consist of 16 battle
ships. 1t will start some time in De-
cember. The course of the feet will
be through the Straits of Magellan and
up the Pacific coast to San Francisco.
"The feet also will, in all probabili-
ty, visit Puget sound. The question of
the route.by which it will return to the
has not as yet been decided"
