New York, July 17 A special to the Herald from Washington says: While President McKinley will take all necessary steps for the protection of Americana and their interests in China, there is no likelihood that he will join witli Great Britain in coerc ing the Pekin government to give ex traordinary concussions to Americans and British oilizens. A high official said regarding the mission ol W, II. Parsons, of Washington, thut the ad ministration bad no intention of com bining with Great Britain or any othei government hi the internet of its citi zens. Naturally, the president stood ready, be said, to afford all reasonable and lawful protection to Americana in for eign countries, and Mr. Parsons would undoubtedly receive th's aussrance. It has been the policy of the administra tion not to advocate any special Ameri can industry to the Chinese govern ment. Instructions sent to the Ameri can minister in Pekin some time ago said: "In the advancement of American enterprises in China and the efforti made in behalf ot the Chinese foreign office, you should be cautious in giving what might be understood as the gov ernment's indorsement of the financial staudiug of the persons seeking con tracts with that of China. Briefly speaking, you should employ all proper methods for the extension of American commercial interests in China, while refraining from advocating the projocti ol any one firm to the exoluaion ol others." It is therefore unlikely that the rail toad syndicate in which Mr. Parsonr is interested will receive any more con sideration or protection than any otbei American enterprise in the Celestial empire MURDER AND ANNIHILATION. Agulnalda's Plan on tho Night of Out break of Hostilities at Manila. San Francisco, July 17. The offi cers ot the Second Oregon regiment, while very guarded in their statements, admit that the condition ot the Ameri can troops at Manila at the outbreak ol hostilities between Aguinaldo and the United Statea was very critical. The capture of a letter sent from in side of our lines in Manila to an emis sary ol Aguinaldo is probably a l that saved our army from a terrible disas ter, and possible annihilation. The letter waa taken to General Otis, who foun-i in It the plana of a plot to open the gates of Manila, tack the city, murder the guards, and allow the Insur gent army to pour into the American camps and surprise the men. Tiie United States troops were under arms all night to meet the expected at tempt, but spiea had learned of the capture of the letter, and the only part of the plot that was carried out waa the burning of a portion ot the oity. CAPE NOME'S RICHES. First Ve..l From Rt. Michael Brings Four Men With eo.ooo. Seattle, July 17. The steamer Alli ance arrived this morning Irom St. Michaels. She ia the first vessel to ar- ive from the mouth of the Yukon this season, and brings advices from the newly discovered gold fields of Cape Nome. When the Alliance left St, Michaels, the season was not far enough advanced to determine the fu ture ol the diggings. Prospectors, however, were confident the country would prove very rich. Pans ol from t3 to 4 are common. Only one cleanup bas been made thus far. It was that of Gabe Piice and Lewis Laue on Claim No. 8, above Discovery, on Anvil Creek. With (oar men shoveling eight days they took out 190,000. The Alliance bas several passengers and a small amount of gold dust (rom Dawson. The next steamer to arrive will probably be the Roan oke, which was to have left St. Mich aels June 9. No Mora Kate War. New York, July 17. The Times says: Official anonncement is to be made tomorrow of the election of John S. Kennedy to the board of diiectois of the Northern Paoifio Railroad Com pany. Mr. Kennedy is credited with beijig the largest individual holdei of Great Northern railway securities, and he Is said to hold over 80,000 shares ol Northern Paciflo. His election is taken to mean that there will be no rate war between the Great Northern and North ern Paoifio. Of James J. Hill's per sonal friends, John Kennedy is proba bly the closest. Of his business col leagues, Mr. Kennedy baa been bis ohief. Message From Dewojr. Washlngtou. July 17. Secretary Long received the following cable mes sage (rom Dewey: "Port Said, July 17.

It is said at the navy department that the admiral'a reference to Prat ique limply means be is going to TiieBte to get a clean bill of health that will enable him to continue hia voyage through the Mediterranean without delays from the health author ities at varioua points. Dew.y Will Cut Trip Short. New York, July 17. A dispatch to the Herald from Port Said aaya: The cruiser Olympia arrived here this after noon. Dewey, who la looking very well, has been reluctantly obliged to deoline the invitation ot Minister Strauss at Constantinople to atay with him on the Bosphorua. He ia anxious to get to New York aa soon as possible, and haa deoided to proceed in the Olympia to Trieste, where he will make a short stay tor the obanga of air. nrooeeding thence to America. D TO CAMP Oregon Volunteers Landed From the Transports. WELCOMED BY SAN FRANCISCANS Ladles of tha Red Cross Oare She Uegliuent Dinner at tba Ms ebauloi' Favlllon. San Francisco, July 17. Not since the departure ol the California volun teers for the Philippines have the streets of San Francisco presented such a scene ot animation as they did today. nor have steam whistles, cannon and bells created such a rumpus, and all this in honor of the regiment ol Oregon rolnnteers and the California signal corps who have returned from foreign shores after over 14 months of hardship and fighting. The cause of the demonstrp'ion was the landing of the Oregon volunteers and the Califuruians. preparatory to going into camp at the Presido and the final mustering out, and then the last stage ol the journey to Oregon and borne. Factory whist let were blown and the boy steamers added to the shrieking. Cannon were fired at sev eral points and bells rang out the wel come of San Francisco to the Webfoot ers and the small group of native tont who made up tiie signal corps of the California regiment. First in the line of march was Major Noble, General Shelter's aid. followed by the band of the Third artillery. Then came Governor Geor, of Oregon, and his staff, and they were followed by the Califoruians, who sbaied the oheeis with the Oregonians. Then came the regiment, headed by Brigadier-General Summers, and its band. As the men marched, company front, up the wide street, they made a plendid appearance. An ambulance, bearing the tick and wounded, follow ed, then battery C, of the Third artil lery. , All along the line of march the men were cheered to an echo, and bands hired by individuals played live ly music. As the soldiers passed the Palace hotel, they were deluged with flowers thrown from the windows by guests. At the junction of Third aud Market and Kearney streets, the crowds were immense and the three morning papers which have offices on the corners of those streeta vied with each other to see which could make the most noise. General Shatter and staff and Gov ernor Geer and his staff, and many noted army officers reviewed the parade as it passed up Van Ness avenue toward tiie Presidio. As the men passed the reviewing stand, they cheered continu ally. When the Presidio was reached the men were given a rest and then commenced the work ot going to camp. Here they will rest under military discipline for two weeks, when the final mustering out will take place, and then they will be sent to their North ern homes by train. At a late hour this afternoon the Or egon volunteers made their appearance on dreBS parade at the Presidio. Ad dressed by Governor Geer, who told of the disappointment in Oregon that the troops were not mustered out in their own state. General Summera then stepped for ward and said: "All those who Intend returning to Oregon with the regiment will raise their bands." Nearly every right hand in the tegl inont was raised. Perhaps 30 or 80 of the men held their hands down. "The governor thanks you," cried the colonel. Later in the day the volunteers were given a banquet by the Red Cross at Mechanic a pavilion. In the evening the legiment was divided into squads and entertained at the different thea tors, each playhouse having set aside from 100 to 300 seats for tbe entertain ment ol the boys. - PULLED DOWN GERMAN FLAG. An Incident In Honolulu Which Stay iteooiue An International Kplaodo. Honolulu, July 9, via Victoria, B. C, July 17. There was a flag incident here on tbe Fourth of July winch promises to be made an international episode. Carl Klemme, the propiietor of the Orpbeum hotel, gaily decorated hia building in American colors, hoist ed the American flag over it, and under the Amencan flag tbe German flag. Later a friend of his wanted to use an American flag, and Klemme good- naturedly loaned Mm hia, leaving the German flag floating alone from the flan8taff. J. H. West saw it and ordered Klemme to haul it down. There haa been ilj-will between the two men be fore, and Klemme lefused to take or ders from bis enemy. West therefore gathered a lot of soldiers fioru tha transport Sheridan and showed them the German flag floating on the Four lb, of July in American territory. Tha soldiers at once proceeded to the roof, tore down the German flag and do stroyed it and put in its place some red, white and blue bunting torn from the other decorations of the building. West today was fined $100 iu the po lice court for malicious mischief, and the German consul will make a report ol the matter to his government Trumps In a Wreck. Kansas City, Mo., July 15.

Why Woman Are Nervous. The frequent cases ot nervous prostra tion or ntter oollapse of the nervous system under which women "go all to pieces," as tiie saying is. have caused much thought and investigation on tbe part of physicians. Certain inorganic substances are well known to cause various forms of nerv ous diseases which are readily traced to the poisons producing tbem. Furth er research leads to tbe belief that alum is a prevailing cause o' so-called nervous prostration, for the symptoms it produces on tbe nervous system after its absorption into the blood aie very remarkable indeed. Experiments phys iologically made upon animals by Orfila, Profeesora Hans Mayer, Paul So ira and others, show that alum fre quently produces no visible symptoms lor many days after its introduction into the body. Then follows loss of appetite and other alimentary disturb ances, and finally a serious prostration of tbe whole nervous system. Tbe mosv prominent physicians now believe that "nervous prostration" and many affections of the nerves from which both men and women suffer are caused by the continued absorption of alum into the system. It is probable that many medical men are unaware of tha extent to whioh salts of alumina may be intro duced into the body, being under the impression that tbe use of alum in bread is prohibited. Alum, however, is still nsed surreptitiously to some ex tent to whiten bread, and very largely in making cheap kinds of baking pow der. In families where baking powder is generally used great care should bs exeroised to procure only those bianda made (rom cream of tartar. Tbe alum powders may be distinguished by tbe lower price at which they are sold British Medical News. Much Mora Embarrassing.

HOLDS ASIA'S TRADE Pacific Coast Destined to Be World's Great Market THE IMPORTANCE OF EXPANSION Secretary Wllioa Says tha People Far of Keeping Old Glory Flying la tha Philippines. Seattle, July 18. Secretary of Agrt- . cultnre James Wilson will remain in this city several days, or until be bas teen every farmer Irom whom it is pos sible to obtain any information. He said today: ' I am very sorry to learn that ont here in Washington you are importing a great deal of stuff that should be grown at home. You do not even make all tbe butter yon use. That is no way to build up the Pacific coast. "Tbe time has come when the coast is in a position to command the trade ol tbe Orient and the Pacific. Mil lions of dollars of trade in butter alone await the Pacific ooast as soon as it can supply the demand. The Paoifio ooast is destined to yet be t'le great market of tbe world. It has the rich country and more people in and aorosa tbe Pacific to deal with. "The coast oan and will handle all of thia trade in time, and it ia tbe am bition of the department that the atate of Washington shall be one of the first to enter actively into the manufacture of butter and tin cans to export to China, Japan and the Philippines. "Expansion is going to be a great thing for the coast It will open np and develop a market that would, oth erwise be stagnant for many years to come. The people are all beginning, to see it in that light. Why, I oan say that a great majority of the people of the atatea from here east are in favor ol keeping the flag where it is. "Tbe feeling of President MoKinley and tbe administration regarding the Philippines ia tbe same as that which took us to Cuba. I believe it is onr duty to teach self-government to all those whom we happen to come in con tact with, and we came in contact with the Pbilippinea through our war, in the name of humanity, with Spain. Aguinaldo is a cut-throat in Luzon, as Weyler was in Cuba. He and his fol lowers must be brought to a realization of what self-government meant. He insulted our flag and that ' brought on the present punishment.
