THREE M3RE TO BE DISCHARGED Ponr TbeRHBd Ex-Seldlers Bay Tickets to Their Eastern Homes Retirement of Major-Gea- eral Shaftcr. SAN FRANCISCO. June 30. Two Im portant military events occurred at the Presidio today the retirement of Major. General W. R. Shaf ter and the mustering out of four volunteer regiments. General Shatter went on the retired list at noon, when he formally transferred the com mand of the Department of California to Major-Generai S. B. M. Young. In the afternoon the Forty-fourth, Forty-ninth. Forty-eighth and Thirty eighth Volunteer Regiments were mus tered out. The mustering out of the four regiments required the services of eight Paymasters. Over $1,000,000 was disbursed. The money was taken from the Sub treasury to the Presidio In eight Doherty wagons, each under charge of a Pay master and his clerk. Forty-five artillery men, mounted and armed, escorted the treasure and pay corps to the reservation. In order to protect the soldiers on the grounds from grafters with their swin dling devices, 100 men of Troop K, Fif teenth Cavalry, were stationed around the reservation. Two of the regiments mustered out the Forty-eighth and Forty-ninth were colored, and the men had between three and four months' pay due them. As soon as the volunteers had been mustered out they rushed to the railroad ticket offices for transportation to their Eastern homes. Both the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific general ticket offices put on an extra force of clerks. The ticket offices were crowd ed till late In the night with discharged volunteers buying tickets. Nearly 4000 tickets were Issued. During the day an accidental shooting, which may have a fatal ending, occurred. George Price, colored, of Kentucky, Com pany G, Forty-eighth Regiment, accom panied by John Rogers, of the same com pany, went into the store of Hlrsch Bros, to buy a Revolver. Price told the clerk he wanted a gun like the one Rogers car ried. With this Rogers handed his gun to the clerk, without warning him that It was loaded. While the clerk was exam ining the pistol it was discharged. The bullet entered Price's abdomen, Inflicting a. wound which may result fatally. There yet remain three volunteer regl. ments to be discharged the Forty-third. F.orty-seventh and Forty-first. They w)U be paid off tomorrow. The volunteer Army will then have passed Into his. tory. TRADE OF THE PHILIPPISES. Marked Increase ShevrR.fey the FJg nrea x"er;ieOO. WASHINGTON, June SO. A marked In crease In the trade of the Philippine Islands during the calendar year of 1900 over the commerce- of the previous year is set out in a statement made public to day by the Division of Insular Affairs of the War Department. The value of im ported merchandise, gold and silver, for 1S0O, is set down at $27,755,100. This, ac cording to the War Department's state ment, was the greatest importation for a single year in the history of the archi pelago. In 1509 the Imports amounted to 120,440,074 in value, thus showing an in crease of nearly 36 per cent in favor of 1S00. The approximate value of imports Into the Philippine Islands for 1S35 was $7,916,00, for 1SS J9.292.500, and for 1597 J9.120.000. During the four years 1S87-1S91 the average annual value of Imports from the United States amounted to $130, 662, during the five years 1S92-9S the aver age annual Imports amounted to $135,228. In 1839 the Imports were $1,237,634, and in 1900 $253,193. The total imports from China and Hong Kong for 1500 amounted to $3,536,443, and for 1S99 $9,081,633. It has been shown, as regards the sta tistics of imports into the islands, from the United States, that they do not in clude a large amount of merchandise that Is Imported indirectly. Including such staples as wheat, flour, meat products, common manufactures and many other articles. A large proportion, of this trade Is recorded as imports from Hong Kong, which are undoubtedly re-exported from that port to the islands. The Imports from the United States di rect for 1S0O show an increase of $S0L33t over those of 15S9, while the imports from Hong Kong In 1300 show a material de crease from the estimated figures of 1S33-. This would Indicate that as the- shipping facilities in Manila, Harbor are being im proved, direct shipments to Manila are increasing, and there Is a corresponding decrease in the re-exportation of mer chandise from Hong Kong to the Phil ippines. The Imports into the Philip pines from the United States direct In 1900 show an increase over 1S29 of St per cent. The total value of merchandise, gold and silver exported from, the Philippines during the- calendar year 1200 amounted to $25,731,462, against $19,27338 for 1639. and an average from 1B30 to 1S94 of $35.53S,9$1 The exports to the United States In creased from $4,040,255 in 1SS9 to $5,968,881 in ISOO. TEEN TSIN CROWDED. City Fall ef Soldiers aad Officers Retaraias; Heme. TIEN TSIN, June30. The City of Tien Tsin Is now more crowded than ever. Officers of all nations are here en route for their homes, and the hotels are plac ing cots In every available- place. Apart ments have been prepared at the Uni versity of Tien Tsin for Prince Chuan and his suite of 40, who will remain there for three days before leaving for Ger many to make formal apology for the murder of Baron von Ketteler. Mr. Denby, who, when the foreign troops arrived, was appointed by the Chi nese Merchants' Company to protect its property, says the .company, in its claim against the United States Government, did not use the word "loot" against the marines, but merely held them responsi ble. The greater part of the company's property consisted of rice, which was af terwards distributed under orders from the British and American Generals to assist those in need. Mr. Denby thinks the company's claim should have been ndded; to the indemnity as legitimate ex penditure. Other merchants say the com pany never had 300,000 taels worth of property here. It is pointed out that the company stored three boxes of valuables with the chartered bank before the trou ble began and did noc withdraw these until October, and that, consequently, it Is aulte Improbable any jewels were left to be looted. Moreover, the place was thoroughly gone through by local looters before the allied forces arrived It would be legally impossible to hoid any portion of the relieving force responsible for any thing but the rice and coal, which were used as a military necessity, to feed Chi nese coolies who were forced ' to labor and also those who were without means of livelihood.

WANTS TO 'SAIL FOR THE CUP He Doubts Whether the Challenger Is Good Enoegh to Send to America, and Asks for a Try-Oat. ROTHESAT, June 30. A development as Intensely interesting as It was entirely unexpected has occurred concerning the challenger for the America's cup. This is due to the action of Kenneth M. Clark, owner of the cutter Karaid. Mr. Clark has had three opportunities of racing the Karaid against the Shamrock I, aisl he has witnessed all trials of the two Sham rocks since the challenger was refitted. PACIFIC COAST WHEAT SHIPMENTS CEREAL YEAR 1OO0-O1. The total exports of wheat (flour included) from the Pacific Coast for the cereal yeir ending yesterday were 47,617,182 bushels. The shipments from the different ports as per de tailed tables printed elsewhere, were as follows: Bushels. Percent. Portland 17,706,102 37.18 San Francisco .. . ... 15,888,044 33.37 Taconia and Seattle . ':,... 14,023,036 29.45 Total ..- His observations have led him to doubt seriously whether the Shamrock II Is good enough to send to American waters in challenge for the cup. He has a be lief, amounting to a conviction, that the Karaid is a better boat, length for length, than the Shamrock- II, and he desires to see this question settled before any yacht goes out as a. challenger. "When Interviewed today by a represen tative of the Associated Press. Mr. Clark said he had no desire whatever to push himself forward In the matter, and had hoped to have an opportunity for solving his doubts quietly In the ordinary races In which he expected the two Sharnrocks to take part. "It now appears, however," said Mr. Clark, "that the challenger wil only be tried against the Shamrock I. Even If pnth saOPd to win, the result would only show which of the two excelled, and Would give, no real rpdf-As ofwji ether eltHer Is tfie bestbfrat' we h,ai'e available. Tha contest fs an. international affair In the fullest sense of the word, and for the credit of British yachting and the good of sport It is desirable that the. British side of the contest should be upheld by the best available boat. "I believe the araid Js faster than either of the Shamrocks. I may be wrong, but that is my opinion, and I believe. I have excellent reasons for holding; It. "I desire an opportunity ta enter the Karaid in the trials. If this request is not granted I shall challenge Thomas Up ton to trial races between the Shamrock II and the Karaid. to be over courses sim ilar to the course for the- America's cup and on the American measurement, in or der to decide which should be sent as the challenger." "When asked whether the Karaid is eligible and whether he would carry the challenge if the Karaid should prove the faster. Mr. Clark said he has no desire to go to the United States, but if it should prove that Great Britain has a better chance of success through his boat, he Is prepared to carry the challenge there. As far as the eligibility of the Karaid Is concerned, he said he under stood there would bo no serious difficulty, as the Royal Ulster Yacht Club had lodged the challenge on behalf of a cut ter under 90 feet water line, and he is a member of the club and his boat answers the description. "If Sir Thomas Lipton has the best boat," Mr. Clark concluded. "I shall be delighted to stand aside. 2y only desire is to Insure the securing of the fastest British yacht and this cannot be secured beyond question without a trtaL" Mr. Clark, who Is chairman of J. P. Coates, XttdL. has owned many steam yachts, but the Karaid Is his first rae lne cutter. She was built last year after Watson's designs by the Hendersons. OTESTSG OF XACHTTXG SEAS OX. Ceartltatlea aad. Calasaala "Will Race at Xeirpart Tetfay. NEWPORT. R. L, June- 38l The yacht Ins eeason for the big 90-foeters, and also the first of the tunlng-up races of the in tended cup-defender Constitution, will begin tomorrow -with a 3&-mlla race be tween the new HerreshoSt production and the champion -of 1SS9. t&e Columbia. The start will be made at U o'clock. A large fleet of yachts Is clustered about the racers, and will go out for the sport to morrow. That the race will be an Inter esting one is acknowledged on every hand. While Mr. Eerreshoff has un doubtedly made many Improvements in the Constitution, the great speed and all around ability of the Columbia make her still a great lavorite among many- who saw her work in this port two weeks ago and because" of her superiority over the Shamrock In the cup races. Another ele ment of Interest Is the rivalry between Captain Rhodes, of the Constitution, and Captain Barr, of the Columbia. The start will be made at Brenton'a Beef lightship, two miles off Bateman's Point, and can be seen from shore. It Is thought the course tomorrow will be 30 miles to the windward or leeward. The committee, however, has the option of running the yachts over a triangular course 10 miles on a side. The race tomorrow and that of Wednesday will be under the auspices of the New York Yacht Club. Xadepeaaeaee's Fact Sailing:. NEW LONDON, Conn., June 30. That the Independence Is possessed of great capabilities was shown today in her run from "Vineyard Haven to New London, a distance of 75 miles, in exactly IS hours. The first 20 miles was a dead beat down "Vineyard Sound, but the remaining 55 miles were made in two long hitches and a. short one, the yacht sailing nearly the entire distance under thTee lower sails and a working topsail. The sea was com paratively smooth, except from Gayhead to Point Judith, but the yacht met heavy rollers 'between these two points very eas ily, showing but little tendency to pound and, thrash. The wind averaged about 10 knots. The yacht passed within a few miles of Newport. Emperor Willlnm's Yncht Won. TRAVEMUNDE, June 30.

June Sx A special mission from the Belal Lama of Thibet to the Emperor Is expected to arrive short ly in Odessa. Speculative politicians have for several months anticipated the arrival of this mission, and have woven it into all sorts of guesswork schemes and plans connected with Russia's advance into Chinese Turkestan and Mongolia. The will of a Moscow millionaire, M. Solodovnlkoff, bequeathing princely sums for educational purposes, has just been approved by the courts after a hard legal struggle. The relattvss receive modest al lowances. The remainder of the estate, estimated at $10,500,000, is to be used for the establishment of elmentary and pro fessional schools and the erection of work, ingmen's dwellings. 9 Tho Emperor has sanctioned the emis sion by the Senate of Finland of a loan of 25,000,000 marks, interest not to exceed 4 per cent, to run not exceeding 56 years. Like many another broth, the stew be tween the Berlin Stock Exchange and the Ruslan Ministry of Finance will prob ably not be eaten as hot as it was cooked. Local financiers point out that the prac tical carrying out of M. de Wittc's re taliatory measures would probably cause as much or more mischief In Russia than In Germany. The refusal to permit quota tions of the obligations of companies in which German subjects are Interested on the Russian Bourse would, It Is believed, damage the Russian shareholders more than the German, for the former, as a rule, are less able to dispense with the assistance of the banks than foreign syn dicates. It seems, however, that the Ber lin Bourse is not Inclined to press the claims of the German holders of South, west Railway certificates, and the affair will likely have no practical consequence, except to demonstrate anew that Minister de Witte is ready for a fight whenever one Is forced upon him. 50.000MENARE0UT Shaffer Orders a Strike of Hoop Trust Employes. IT IS BUT A BEGINNING President of the Amnlgnmnted Ass'o elation Says the Contest Xow on "Will Be Fought to a Finish. "" PITTSBURG, June 20. President T. J. Shaffer, of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers, -will to morrow morning Issue an order calling out all union employes of the various mills of the American Steel Hoop Com pany, known as the hoop trust.

The officials now deal ing with us have but little Idea of the ex tent to which this strike will go, once It Is on." MAY BREAK UP STRIKE. Disorderly Thacker Miners Arrest ed in Kentucky. THACKER, W. Va., June 30. A posse of eight men went to the Kentucky side of Tug River early this morning and captured nine miners who are charged with terrorizing the miners of the West Virginia side of the river for the past 10 days by shooting at all who could not give the proper strikers' signal as they passed and repassed along the railroad. They were surprised In their sleep, with their Winchesters under their pillow, and surrendered with but little resistance. Even their guard was captured asleep on duty. They were brought to this place and held under a heavy guard awaiting the train to take them before a Kentucky Judge, who remanded them to Judge Jack, son, of Parkersburg. W. Va. Later In the day, Charles Burke, presi dent of the local union of United Mine workers of America, wras also arrested. He was taken to Parkersburs to appear before Judge Jackson on the charge of tearing down the notices of the injunction granted by Judge Jackson.
