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.

Kenneth Clark .Says Karaid
- Is F.aster Than Lipton Boat.
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.

MISSION FROM THIBET.
The Last la Send la ar aa Earoy to
St. Petersburg.
ST. PETERSBURG. 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.

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.

dent of the local union of United Mine
workers of America, wras also arrested.

believed that this will break up the fight,
ing end of the strikers' troubles and that
their differences will soon be compro
mised In a satisfactory manner;
