Frank Priest nd a man known as "Sea
Lion Charley," went out over the bar
(or deep-sea flailing. When about half

breaker, and the trait passed over it in
safety. Another sea atruok them be

boat and capsized it. Priost and Sea
Lion Charley succeeded in catching

Bureh waa not eeou again.
The lookout Irora the life-saving sta

the scene ol the aocidont, saw the boat

assistance. The crew promptly le
sponded, and in leas than half an hour

NO COMBINATION LIKELY.
Cnlted Slate. Will Not Join Joha Hall
In Coercion of China.
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

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

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

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

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. It is the be
lief ot the administration that as soon
as the rainy season in over peace will
soon be declared tbat same peace
whioh Cnba is enjoying, after which a
policy of self-government in the Philip
pines will come up.
"Tbe people everywhere are enthua
iastio over President McKinley, and
will back np bis policy of keeping Old
Glory afloat, instead of allowing tha
Filipinos to tiample it in the gutter or
anti-expansionists to place tbe old
blood-stained banner of liberty under
the bed."
On leaving Washington the secretary
will proceed to other Pacific coast
states, where he will endeavor to en
courage an increase in agricultural pro
ducts. FIRE AT FORT DUCHESNE.
Said to Hare Been Sat by Indians to
Cripple tha Post.
Denver, July 18. A special to the

Fort Duchesne is 96 miles from here,

Colorado, and are trying to destroy the
cavalry equipment, so that tbe sol
diers cannot follow them.
