RACE AGAINST TARIFF.
Shippers Hurrying FORWARDS to Save
Liquor Duties.

New York, Aug. 5.-An interesting
phase in the tariff situation is that i'm
porters are besfeging the officers of the
Marconi and United wireless Telegraph
companies with messages urging SKIP
pers at sea to make haste port-wards
in order to beat the new tariff bill and
escape the added duties which it would
impose. There are thousands of casks
of fine wines and brandies now on the
Atlantic and if they can be hurried into
port and their manifests entered at the
cnstOn1s house before the bill is signed
by the president it mean the saving of
a small fortune to the consignee. 1t is
said that some shippers stand to re
ceive handsome bonuses if successful
in the race.

GRAND OPERA FEAST

SAN FRANCISCO, June 19.-The
musical and theatrical event of the
week is the first appearance here at the
Princess theater of w. e. Edwards
italian Grand Opera company, which
opened with aida" last Monday night
Society was out in force to greet the
foreign songbirds Real lovers of
music were in the audience, too, and
they furnished the discriminating ap-
plause as the several members of the
Edwards company scored individual
triumphs: The great climax to the
third act, where Aida recognizes her
father Amonasro, was greeted by a
storm of plaudits. the like of which
probably never has been heard in San
Francisco since the discovery of Tet-
razzini
Interest the first night centered in
the return of the lombard fayorite.
Lima Bertozzi, in the character of Aida.
Bertozzi has improved since last seen
here and, although she seems to please
better in lighter roles such as Mig
non," she Is nevertheless a magnificent
Aida. There was a royal welcome for
Arcangell, who sang Amonasro. He
looked like the wild man of Borneo on
his first appearance, but he sang with
all his old-time fire and we'll remem-
bered dramatic beauty.
Throughout the opera there was that
measure of spontaneous approval dear
TO the heart of every conscientious ar
list. The conductor, Merola keeps the |
company up to the strictest tempo, and
has a genius for bringing the ensem- |
Bile work up to ringing climaxes. Moth

SHOT IN THE BACK.
Portland Teamster Wounded by Eel
low Worker After Quarrel

Portland, May Con Enwright,
commonly known as Jimmy" En-
wright, teamster in the employ Of
the Union Meat company on the Pc
ninsula, is being hunted by the police,
detectives and the sheriff for the cow
NJ. Iverson, another teamster with the
same company.
The shooting took place at 6:40 this
morning at the Union Meat company's
mess camp on the peninsula. En-
wright and Iverson had had quarrel
over two horse collars, which Iverson
had in his possession and which En-
wright claimed. There had been bad
blood between the two men for long
while, but this morning at the break
fast table the quarrel rose to a high
pitch and the messmates then looked
for trouble.
Leaving the table, Iverson, whose
special duty is to drive the supplies
from the camp to town, went out and
hitched up his team. Enwright fol-
lowed into the yard and pointing to the
collars on the horses, demanded them.
Iverson refused to comply and En-
wright dared him to come down from
the wagon. Iverson promptly jumped
up and started to climb down when
he noticed Enwright drawing a re-
volver. He at once turned his back on
the infuriated teamster, only to hear
the report of revolver and felt the
impact of bullet on his back.
Iverson is a big, robust man and
for a moment stood on his feet and
and glared at his foe. Then
he sank gasping to the ground and
still flourishing his re-
walked away, while his mess
mates, not wishing to draw his fire,
him go and then rushed to
the assistance of the wounded man.
Enwright made his escape, and has
not been seen since.
