The Aiikrdkk.v, Wash., June 20 Two weeks ago ten boxes of salmon were stolen from Damon's wharf, on Gray's harbor, about seventeen miles from Aberdeen. Suspicion was directed to Joseph Anderson and Daniel Downing, fishermen living in the vicinity. Of ficers armed with warrants searched the hut of Downing, but found no traces of the mit-sing fish. Anderson could not be found, but subsequently his dead body was found buried in the sand. The remains were buried, but the coroner became suspicions and exhumed them. Upon opening the coffin a ghastly sight was presented. Tho head of the body dropped back, disclosing a clean cut from ear to ear, while the skull had been crushed with some blunt instru ment. Downing has just been arrested and charged with murder. Last fall I sprained my left hip while handling some heavy boxeB.

M17 3in Rebels Will Again Be in Full Possession of the Islands 100,000 Men are Necessary Properly to Subdue and Hold the Islands and No Other Course Will Be Successful. San Fbancisco, June 21. Dr. Chas. A. McQ'iestion, who was on the staff of General Otis, and who was health officer at Manila, has returned home, invalided by the climate. Captain McQtiestion made a close study of the conditions of the Philip pine situation. He if of the ouinion that it will take from 100,000 to 150,000 soldiers to properly subdue and hold the islands. He also says that the peace commission was an absolute failure, and that its work from the start was without effect. He strongly supports the mili tary government cf the islands, except that lie thinks more men will be necess ary than has been estimated. "Dr. Schurrnan knows that the com mission is a failure, and is coming home in July," added Captain McQuestlon. "Uuless troops, thousands of them, are sent to the aid of our men there, they will be driven back into Manila in the course of the next few months, during the rainy season. Our men simply can not stand the climate. Fifty per cent of them will bo incapacitated by sickness. Manila will be in a state of siege again. "One. of the great dangers that onr men Lave to face is the climate. The new-comers will be at a disadvantage because the volunteers w ho are returning home are inured to the climate. As a matter of belief, the Filipinos t'.iink they have the Americans licked already. "One solution of the situation might be to enlist colored troops from the Gulf states, and this might settle some of the race questions of that section. These men would be better able to stand the climate conditions around Manila, and it has been proven that they are good fighters. "I want to say a word for the Western volunteers. They make the finest sol diers in the world, and their fighting qualities are wonderful. But the volun teers all want to return home, and I hardly think that the plan to enlist three skeleton regiments from the volunteers now in the Philippines will be a success. The men enlisted to light for their coun trp, snd they are nit the kind of men w ho want to stay and fight an insurrec tion for money or the fun of lighting." Europe would rather see today than the existence ot their factional linei in oar cil'ienship. If these foreign colonists get a foothold In the United States our power will be ou the wane." When asked what he thought Admiral Dewey's programme would be on his re turn to this country, he replied : "I be lieve hi will go at once to bis home in Vermont. He will not make any trip over the country in response to invita tions to attend jubilee celebrations. He does not like that kind of glory nor does any one of the army and navy officers. Admiral Dewew will probably attend the bacquet to be given in his honor in New York, as Governor Roosevelt, who ii an intimate friend, will attend. Besides this, he will attend no other celebrations or dinners," Yellow Fever Among Soldiers la Cuba. Washington, June 21.

DEWEY DOES NOT SEEK SOCIETY Captain Cogblaa Believes the Hero of Manila Will Attend Only One Dinner or Celchration and That in New York. Chicaoo, June 21 special to the Times-Herald from Terra Haute, Ind , says : Captain Coghlan, of the Raleigh, who stopped here on his way to Pnget sound to visit friends of Mrs. Coghlan and bis, in this city, where the then young naval officer first met his wife, who was a Miss Barbour, thirty years ago, talked inter estingly with thsse friends of the occur rences which have brought him into prominence, except as to the Union league Club speech of "Hoch der Kaiser." That affair, ho said, Is a closed inci dent. He said thatofa trunkfnl of letters received from all pnr!i of the United States, only filteen were in criticism, and of that llftccen, fourteen were written by very ignorant persons. The captain did speak with feeling against what he called "hyphenated Americans." Said he: "If a man Is an American citizen, he Is an American cltix'n, pure and simple. I have no patience with this hyphenated citisenship. There Is nothing that Chicago, June 21. A number of busi ness men and physicians met at the rooms of the Chicago Medical Society and foiined the Illinois Society for the Prevention of Consumption. Mayor Harrison presided at the meeting. The object of the association is the eradica tion, so far as possible, of the baccili of consumption from anin.als nsed for hu man food and from the surroundings of beef and dairy cattle. Figures and statistics were submitted showing the rapid increase of consump tion, but it was the opinion of those at meeting that scientific act practical work will eventually check the spread of the disease. It was decided to urge the state legis lature to appropriate funds adequate to the needs of the state board of livestock commissioners, this sum to be probably $50,000 the first year, $30,000 the second and f.'O.OOO the third year. Also to urge that the commission be empowered to apply the tuberculin test to all cattle in the state and against the wishes of the owners of cattle if neces sary, and that all cattle not proving un der the tuberculin test to be free from tuberculosis, to be condemned and the owners compensated by the state at the scale of prices fixed by tbelivcstock com missioners. The legislature was also urged to de vise an efficacious plun for the preven tion of the sale of tuberculosis meat In Chicago. John McLaren was elected president of tho society.

Henry T, Oxnard, president of the American Beet Sugar Producers' Aesociation, has pre pared a reply to 11. O. Havemeyet's re cent argument before the industrial coni' mission at Washington. He flatly denies many of Mr. Havemeyer's state ments, aid accuses that gentlemen oi seeking to destroy the American beet- sugar industry in order to foster the refineries thathandle foreign raw materi al, besides attempting to divert public attention from the sugar trust by attack ing tho tariff. In his statement given in the Morning Call, Mr. Oxnard says : "The two largest, in fact, tto pioneer trusts In tho country as every rne know s, are the Standard Oil and Sugar trusts. The Standard Oil Company does not en joy l:s monopoly from the tariff and the American Sugar Refining Company, ac cording to Mr. llaveiueyer, receives only 3,'a per cent protection. How absurd, then, is it to say that the tariff is respon sible for trusts, But right here, I wish to dispute Mr. Havemeyer's statement regarding tho protection afforded to sugar refining, claiming that it only re ceives a protection of 3'.j per cent. "In the Dingley tariff act sugar refin ing receives a protection of an eighth of a cent per pound and the testimony pro duced before the ways and means com mittee, of which Mr. Dingley was chair man, brought out the fact that sugar in a modern refinery, with the best ma chinery, well located, can be refined at a coBt of about a quarter of a cent per pound. We therefore find that sugar refining under these conditions is re ceiving a protection of not 3,' .j. but 50 per cent advatorem, based on the cost of refining sugar. The protection granted the sugar-producers who make the article ot sugar itself, is 50 per cent on t lie cost ot raw siuar today, or Identical with the protection granted the sngar-retimng companies. Mr. Oxnard declares that American sugar-pro Jucers would suffer and the development of the beet-sugar industry be retarded by the adinUsion of raw sugar free of duty. He adds : "There is no trust among the sugar- producers of tnis country an I there never can be, for the simple reason that the beet-sugar industry can be started in al most any part of the Union." Deep Water at Columbia's Mouth. AsroniA, June 21. The channel of the Columbia, or, as It is gent-rally called, "the bar," is rapidly shifting its position, due undoubtedly to the effect of the jetty. There is now almost as much water in the old north channel at In tho present channel marked out by the buoys. Yes terday Pilot Matthews went out on the tug Wallula and made soundings around the month of tho river. He headed abjut northwest between buoys No. 1 and l'.j, nearly in the lice with tho old north channel. Ho found in it no less than twenty -fire feet of water, and that only at few places, clear out to deep water. Captain Matthews says that, while the channel is undoubtedly shift ing to the north and Peacock spit is dis appearing, there is as much water as there ever was, and though some sand Is piled up by a westerly wind, it soon washes clear again, Fully realizing the benefit that the jetty has been to the bar, lie feels confident that its extension milo further out would increase its nee- fulness and permit the largest vessels to enter the river almost regardlesi of the tides.

ABOUT ALGER'S GOING General Wheeler Will Go to the Phil ippines Alger Gave Indirect Con firmation of the Report. Washington, June 21. A denial Is made at the war department that Gen eral Milet is to succeed General Otis in command in the Philippines. This war. hardly necessary, as it is not likely that the war department will ever do any- . thing for General Miles as long as Alger., and Corbln are managing a flair eV The rumor is again revived that Hor ace Porter will succeed Alger as secre tary of war, and that Whitelaw Reld will be sent to Paris. This is another un likely story, and la evidently pot out by those who desire to seo such a result brought about.

When questioned about it as lie and General Wheeler were about t3 leave for the Grand Army camp fire, lie replied promptly : "There is nothing to say at least not till I issue the order." The ac cent, however, was uuuiiptakal.le on t tie words "the order."' 'I am still in the service," said Gen eral.
