In an official ex planation of the collision between the steamer Empress of India and the Chi nese cruiser Huang-Tai, the Canadian Pa cific Hallway officials say the two vessels were running parallel courses about mid night, when, without warning, the cap tain of the Chinese cruiser suddenly tried to cross the bow of the Empress of India. The latter's captain immediately maneu vered so that the collision which he knew -would be tho result should be a glancing one. The bow of the cruiser slid along side the Empress, but the starboard pro peller of the Empress caught the cruiser and injured her so badly that she sank in a few seconds. (The Empress of India left Vancouver, B. C, July 37, sailing for Japan and China, and was due to arrive at Hong Kong today.

Case AgnliiHt French Ship VlIIc tie St. Xaxnire Is DlsmiMed. Judge Bellinger yesterday dismissed the suit of The Dalles-, Portland & Astoria Navigation Company against the French ship Vllle de St. Nazalre to recover dam ages. The ship Vllle do St. Nazalre was lying at the Oceanic dock and was about to move to Columbia dock, a half-mile up the stream, to complete her cargo. The master of the ship hired the steamer Reg ulator to assist In towing the ship from one dock to the other. While performing this service in conjunction with another steamer hired by the master, the Regu lator was caught between the Vllle de St. Nazalre and the French ship Desaix end was crushed and damaged. In deciding tho case Judgo Bellinger said: "It is the contention of The Dalles, Portland & Astoria Navigation Companv that It was the duty of the Vllle do St. Nazalre to return the Regulator In as good condition as when he received her, reasonable wear excepted, and that not having done eo the company Is entitled to proceed against tho ship for damages sus tained. The distinguishing fonture of pro ceedings in rem Is that the vessel or thing proceeded against Is Impleaded as the real defendant. In a case for damages such as this, some fault or nogllgence on the part of those In control must be im puted to the ship in order to charge with liability; tho ship must bo regarded as an actor -whose offending has caused the in Jury complained of. Here the liability sought to be enforced arises out of a contract obligation of tho roaster of the ship to return the steamer in as good con dition as she was when she undertook the tow-ago service. The liability sought to toe enforced Is that of the owner, against whom the Injured party is entitled to have Its remedy by a proceeding In personam." THROW DICE FOR KllYIXG PAX. Pitcalrn Islanders Are Short on Cooking rtriiftlls. Away down la the center of tho South Pacific Ocean, where tho tropic of Capri corn chases around the face of the globe there is a shortage on frying pans and spiders not the hairy, tarantula kind but those which are serviceable when used in connection with culinary operations. Tho center of the demand is on tho llttlo Island of Pitcalrn. which lent a harbor of refugo to tho Bounty mutineers years ago, and subsequently lurnished a good story for historians to work up. News of the need of tho Islanders for cooking utensils of the kind above-mentioned has Just reached the outside workl through the medium of a letter received by Captain Amsbury. Time was when Captain Amsbury commanded tho clipper ship Puritan, which frequently found Its way no the vicinity of Pitcalrn Island, and on such occasions the captain gen erally used to enjoy the hospitality of the islanders tor a day or so. It therefore came to pass that not infrequently he supplied thlr needs in the way of articles of necessity not manufactured on" the Island. Not being aware that Captain Amsbury quit tho sea some time ago, one of the islanders many months ago mailed him a request for frying pans and spiders. The letter only reached tho captain this week via San Francisco. There are now about 170 people on the little Island, and every day there Is a drawing to deter mine the ownership of the only frying pan In tho community for the succeeding 24 hours. CONSUL LAIDLAW PROTESTS. Reports to His Government on Criinptnjr Practices at Portland. LONDON. Aug. IS. The British Consul at Portland, Or., James Laldlaw, empha sizing In his annual report the Increase In the number of desertions from British ships in ports within his Jurisdiction, com plains that the owners and captains make no stand against the "crimps" and rarely show a disposition to assist the local authorities in prosecuting persons guilty of Infractions of the law, and. he adds, In the absence of proper evidence, little is done. Mr. Laldlaw then criticises the law re cently passed, licensing sailor boarding houses, saying: "The clause raising thi legal rate for furnishing seamen from $10 to $30 is very objectionable. It acts as a premium on crimping. Strange as it may seem, the most notorious crimping firm here is, tho only one which has received a license." MUTTXY UPON BRITISH SHIP. Five Drunken Spanish.

Many Invoices of Food Products Are to Be Tested. NEW YORK. Aug. IS. Instructions have been received from the Treasury Department by Collector of Port Strana han to hold up more than 100 Invoices of food productions which the Agricultural Department desires sampled under the provisions of the new pure food law. The orders thus far sent out apply almost entirely to French and Italian products, and include shipments to some of the best known grocery Importers in the city. The merchandise Included table delicacies, wines, olive oil and canned goods. It appears that alleged adulteration does not constitute by any means the largest Item in the order to hold certain items of foodstuffs. A large invoice of French peas, imported by one of the larg- ; est grocery houses In the city, has, for Instance, been detained. It is not claimed that the peas are adulterated, but that lead, has been used In soldering the cans, and that this - lead comes In direct con tact with the contents. This is not . allowed, under the laws of the country ' of export, and therefore under the new food law the merchandise cannot enter this country.

Programme. NORTH -YAKIMA. Wash.. Aug. 13. (Special.) The State Fair this year prom ises to be the best ever held. Secretary J. E Shannon, who has the work in charge, says that without a doubt there will be at least one-third more people attend this year than were here last season. He Is receiving letters, of Inquiry dally f rom. all parts of the state about rates and special trains andjdso requests for the premium lists. . ' With the end in view of accommodating everybody on the line of the Northern Pacific Railway, arrangements have been mad: with that company for special rates and special trains. Two special trains will be run from the Sound, one each from Tacoma and Seattle. A special train will also be sent from Walla Walla by the O. R. & N., and efforts will be made to have a special run from Spokane. On these specials low rates have been secured. Be sides these trains and rates a special low rate good for the week of the fair has been established from all points on the main line of the Northern Pacific and Its branches. This rate Is one fare plus one-third, and will be effective from all points In Eastern Washington. The stock display last year beat any previous record, but this year there will be double the exhibit of blooded stock of the Northwest. The famous Hereford herd of Reno, Nov., will be here again this year in increased numbers. All the leading Jersey breeders of Oregon have signified their intention to be here, and those of Spokane will send a fine herd for exhibition. There will be a large number of blooded stock from Washington on ex hibition, and In the way of sheep, extra space has 'been prepared for the best breeds of Yakima Valley and other sheep raising districts. Secretary Shannon announces that he has secured from the Northern Pacific a special rate for the shipments of poultry to and from the State Fair. From all points on the line of the road a single merchandise rate going will prevail, and a half rate for the return trip. This is a much better rate than was ever before granted by the railroad company. The exhibits of farm products promises to be large. Last year five counties took part in the contest for the big premiums offered for the best county display, but this year several other counties have promised to come In on the race for the big prizes. There will also bo a good exhibit of creamery products from all the creameries in the state. This will, by far. be the best display ever before attempted in the state. The speed programme as arranged at present will give the horsemen of the Northwest a chance to bring out the best In the circuit. The entries for nil harness races close September 18. Liberal purses will be offered dally for runners, with entries to close at 6 P. M. on- the day pre ceding races.

ONLY ONE MINE CLOSED DOWN. Activity In the Ashlnnd District Nevr Lcdfrcs Opened. ASHLAND, Or., Aug. IS. (Special.) The mining Industry In tho vicinity of Ashland this season has bo for been of average activity on both sides of tho Siskiyou Range, and. with tho exception of the Ashland mine, no property of Im portance has been closed down. A few very promising ledges have been opened for tho first time by systematic develop ment with results, so far, satisfactory to tho owners. Among theso Is the Wheel ledge, a large auriferous vein on the north side of Wagner Butte. It Is owned and worked by the Western Star Gold Mining Company, and a crew of men has been tunneling and sinking a shaft on tho ledge for several months. Some good ore, carrying free gold, has been tapped and It is likely a new mill will bo erected after some further exploration. " In tho same district the Shorty-Hopo Company -has finished the work of en larging its ditch, which supplies power to a ten-stamp mill, so that it will have a capacity of carrying 500 inches of water. The mill with this new Improve ment will, it is thought, be well supplied wiwi power the year through. There is considerable milling ore on the dump at this mine awaiting reduction. Good progress is being made In the Grub drift of the Shorty-Hope, and recently some fine concentrating ore has been taken out. This drift, which will be some S00 feet In length. Is designed to come under the old workings at a depth of 75 feet below. Its effect will be to drain them of the water, which has prevented their further operation, and will render a larger ore-bearing area available for min ing. Grant & Hill are working on the south extension of the Ashland ledge and have accomplished a large amount of devel opment work. In the placer districts of Hungry and Beaver Creeks tho miners have been doing- very welL Hungry Creek proves to be rich la places. The Cavln claim shows some fine gravel. The mine la worked by the Cavln Bros., and at the last clean-up. which represented only a few weeks wnrk. they got $3300. The product of this mine Is remarkable for the number and size of tho nuggets, which are of a rich yellow color. One of the batch last taken out was worth $157, and there were many running from J3 to $1S. Tne Beaver Creek Mining Company has been operating right along piping the high channel with a fqll crew of men. It has a fair supply of water yet, due to the construction of a new ditch out of Beaver Creek. It expects a good clean up. At the Golden Eagle mine, on Indian Creek, they are sinking tho shaft with a treble shift, men working eight hours each. The shaft is now down HO feet and Is being sunk rapidly. The poles have been erected and wire Is blng rapidly strung by the Siskiyou Electric Power Company to the New York and other mines on the south side of tne Siskiyou, and many of the mines will soon be operated by electric power drawn from the Falls Creek plant. The Ashland remains closed down. The former's foreman Is on duty and starts the pumps once a week to keep down .the water. TEACHERS GIVEN CERTIFICATES. Result of the Examination Held.

CHINESE MERCHANTS MURDERED. Bodies Chopped Up and Gold Stolen by Robbers. HERMOSILLO. Mex.. Aug. IS. A dis patch to the Hermoslllo Sentinel from La Colorado gives news of a terrible mur der of Chinese merchants at Las Ama- rlllas, a mining town near La Colorado. The combined store and residence of four Chinese merchants was entered some time after midnight on Saturday. The four Chinese were almost cut to pieces with an ax or stabbed with knives, and JH.000 in gold, which the Chinamen had saved from their profits, was stolen. The weapons used by the murderers were left behind covered with the blood of their victims. One of tho murdered men. known as El Chapo, the Spanish for "Shorty," had his head split open with the ax. All were dead when found by the authorities. The murders have terrorized the Chi nese In Las Amarillas, La Colorado and other surrounding mining camps and several have already fled while others are preparing to leave. The authorities claim that they have been unable to find any trace of the perpetrators of the terri ble deed. Robbery' was the motive for the crime, but a bitter feeling has arisen In Mexico against Chinese and particularly In So nora, which is overrun with Mongolians arriving at Guaymas with the intention of crossing to the United States. This ill-feeling has led to the Chinese exclu sion regulations recently promulgated In Mexico. The Chinese recognize that they are not safe in some of the smaller camps and are fleeing to the larger places for protection. TAKEN FOR A BUN COM AN. Prominent Ontario Stockman's Pre dicament at Baker City. BAKER CITY, On, Aug. IS. E J.

Harrington and his daughter took note of Mr. Shilling at once, and Sheriff Doust called Mr. Shilling into an anteroom, when he was surprised to learn that he was suspected of being one of the buncomen. The young lady insisted that Shilling was the man, and Harrington also told the Sheriff that Shilling was one of the men wanted. Up to this time Shill ing had treated the matter as a Joke, but now it looked serious, with the Sheriff standing to arrest him. Shilling Is so well and favorably known here that he had no trouble in convincing the Sheriff that it was a case of mistaken identity. Harrington said that the man he wanted weighed at least 200 pounds. Shilling weighs 350. Harrington after ward said that, except for weight and height. Shilling was an exact counterpart of the chief buncoman. Harrington and the Sheriff returned to Spokane tonight, and Buzzard, the man arrested Sunday, continued his Journey East. -WAREHOUSES AT PULLMAN.

Doctors Didn't Know What To Do. Dr. Miles' Heart Cure and Nervine Cured Me.

These attacks increased in frequency aad severity until December, 1901, when ther came on once a week. Each attack would Jayrneupadayor more. The attack begin ning January 13th, 1902, lasted 160 hours (almost a week") my heart beat almost one hundred and fifty per minute and some times more. During this week my physician consulted with four other doctors, But all to no purpose. My heart finally slowed up, and it was then a serious question with my family what to do next; as tor ro e, I was too far gone to care much what happened. Dr. Miles' al manac said, "write for advice" and my son wrote, receiving a nice reply. A neighbor told us he had used your remedies with great ben efit. I took courage, began the use orDr-Miles" New Heart Cure and Restorative Nervine until I had taken eleven bottles of the Heart Cure and seven bottles of the Restorative Nervine. I had two slight attacks after I began the use of your medicine the lost one lasting only thirty minutes. For more than three months my heart has run without a flurry.
