Commissioner at Unalaska Rcbnkcd
by a Naval Captain.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 20. Captain M.
Thwing, of the steamer John S. Kimball,
who arrived from Nome, Alaska, today,
brings the details of another Instance of
the lowering of the British flag In Alaska.
It occurred at Unalaska, July 4. There
were a number of vessels in port, among
them being the British steamer Glenora
and the American gunboat Concord. In
honor of Independence day, the Britisher
flew the union jack end had up some
other bunting, while the Concord dressed
ship. When United States Commissioner
Whipple saw the British flag waving in
an American port, he got very angry, and,
going aboard the Glenora, ordered the
captain to haul it down. The captain re
fused, and then the Commissioner ordered
Deputy "United States Marshal Sullivan to
arrest the audacious Britisher and then
haul down the flag himself. Rather than
go to jail, the captain, hauled down the
flag, but as soon as Whipple was gone he
jumped Into the steamer dingy and was
pulled out to the Concord. The British
captain was not Ave minutes aboard the
gunboat when a boat was manned, and,
with an officer in the stern, put away
from the gunboat for the Glenora. As
soon as the steamship was reached, the
officer and two of the men went aboard,
and in a few minutes the flag hauled down
because of Whipple's threats "was at the
masthead again. The Concord ran the
British flag was up at her fore and
began firing a National salute. In this
way Captain Knox did everything in his
power to make amends for the blunder,
and there will be no international dlffl.
cultles In consequence.
MAKING SOME PROGRESS.
Ministers at Pckln Agree on Severnl
Matters.
BOULOGNE, July 20. The Cologne Ga
zette's Pekin correspondent telegraphs
that at yesterday's Ministry conference an
agreement was reached regarding the Im
provement of the Port of Shangal and the
'Pel Ho, the mortgaging of the marttme
customs to the amount of 4 per cent, and
also the salt and junk tax, which are re
garded as adequate to raise the indem
nity, Great Britain strongly opposing the
plan tto increase the customs to 7 per
cent in case the other revenues are inade
quate. A compromise is probable on this
point. It is felt that the meeting marks
an important advance In the negotiations.
WAR ON SWEATSHOPS.

Ordered at New York.
NEW YORK, July 20. Members of the
executive board of the United Garment
Workers met tonight, and ordered a gen

than 50,000 men and women, and will go
Into effect tomorrow.
The trades that will stop are as follows:
Brotherhood of Tailors, pantsmakers,
children's jacket-makers, vestmakers,
sailors jacket-makers, but?tonhole-makers,
Lithunlan tailors and German tailors.
The leaders. In a statement Issued to

shop system and furnish sanitary shops
for t'he employes.
t
The Strike on the Shamrock.
GLASGOW, July 20. Sir Thomas Lipton
has refused the demands of 15 of the sail
ors of the Shamrock I engaged by him to
sail Shamrock II In American waters for
a bonus of 15, Instead of the offered
bonus of 8, and Is hiring fresh hands.
It appears the difference between. Sir
Thomas and his sailors arises from the
fact that the men employed on the Sham
rock II are the best sailors procurable,
and are paid 2 a week. The sailors on
the Shamrock I are paid only the usual
wage of 30 shillings. With the proffered
bonus their whole wage would not be
equal to that of the men employed on
the Shamrock II, and If the crew of the
Shamrock I Is required to help 'the latter,
they contend they should receive equal
remuneration.

THE NEW GERMAN TARIFF
AGRICULTURAL SCHEDULES
ANNOUNCED.
ARE
Fears Are Expressed That They "Will
Lead to Reprisals by America.
and Russia.
BERLIN, July 20.-A11 the leading mem
bers of the Ministry are now absent on
their vacations, and a Summer staleness
prevails In Berlin political circles.
A lively discussion of the tariff ques
tion broke out this week on the publica
tion of the new agricultural schedules by
the Stuttgart Beobachter, which claims to
have authentic information on this mat
ter from the recent tariff conference. The
two most striking features of these sched
ules are the high duties and the maximum
and minimum charges on cereals. The
minimum figures arc the lowest admissi
ble in commercial treaties, while the maxi
mum charges are 65 marks per ton on
wheat and GO marks per ton on rye and
oats. The minimum charge on wheat Is J

TIs neither good for man nr beast."

55 marks per ton, and on rye and oats
50 marks. The present duties on rye and
wheat are 35 marks per ton and on oats
28 marks. Animals and meat are without
minlmums. The duties on cattle have been
raised from 9 marks, and on swine from
50 marks per ton to 100 marks per ton.
Meat, lard and calves are scheduled for
considerable Increase. Sausages are raised
from 170 tof 450 marks per ton, butter and
cheese from 15 and 20 marks to 30 marks
per ton, and eggs from 20 to 60 marks.
The Conservative and Agrarian papers
Ignore or doubt the story printed by the
Stuttgart Boebachter, which other papers,
however, have Investigated on their own
account and substantially confirm the
Boebachter's schedule.
The Frankfurter Zeltung avers that the
commercial treaties will be impossible
under such duties and says: "Tariff wars
are In Germany's future If the govern
ment realizes its intention."
The Berliner Tageblatt considers the
schedules to be monstrous and prints sta
tistics showing that the new duties on
the basis of the Imports for 1900 mean an
Increased expenditure or 66,000,000 marks
to the consumer, not to mention the rise
In prices on domestic products, and argues
that the United States and Russia, two
of Germany's best customers, would adopt
reprisals were the duties put into effect
The "Voorwaerts characterizes the pub
lished schedules as usurious. The Ham
burger Correspondent says the govern
ment will publish the tariff bill In a few
days.
The trial of the Russian cruiser Nowik,
built at the Schlchau shipbuilding yards,
shows that vessel to have an average
speed of over 23 knots.
The weather has been unusually hot
throughout almost the entire country, and
the drouth Is extensive. Violent storms
have been announced from various points
In the empire, and the vineyards In por
tions of the Hartz Mountains have been
almost wholly destroyed. The beet crop
has been Injured in some places by the
drouth. The rains have helped other sec
tions. The water in the Welser and other
streams Is so low that shipping Is at

Boer Prisoners at St. Helena.
NEW YORK, July 20. The British
steamship Reading, from Ascension and
St. Helena, is now at Jersey City.
"There are just 4700 Boer prisoners on
tho island," said the Reading's com
mander, Captain Flshley, "and of these,
17 per cent are Transvaalers and Orange
Free Staters. The remaining 83 per cent
Is made up of other nationalities. In this
order: Scandinavians, Germans, Italians,
a few Russians, Irishmen and even Eng
lishmen, a handful of Scotchmen, a few
Americans, a few Greeks and scatterings
from other nationalities.
"The farmers are complaining because
the Governor has impressed the surplus
labor for work on the breakwater. A large
number of the Boer prisoners are also em
ployed on the breakwater at 5 shillings a
day. Some do' not choose to work, others
labor for the farmers, and older prisoners
whittle out toys which they sell. General
Cronje Is also weary of his detention, but
says little. I am told that the proportion
of native Boers was representative of
their entire army."

always secures a .hearing, respectful and
attentive."
Rev. C. O. Jones, of Bristol, Va., led a
round-table conference on "The Social
Department," and Rev. W. W. Baer. of
Nanalmo, B. C, spoke on the league mem
bership. "Hospital and Prison Work"
was the theme of an address by Rev. S
B. Campbell, of St. Joseph, Mo. He said
In part:
Hospital and Prison Work.
"The gospel is the cure for souls. It Is
adequate to every spiritual need. It is
for this world also. Jesus proposes bet
ter human conditions. Our first hospital
was established In Germany, in 1875. The
three Methodisms now have about 23 in
successful operation. Nearly 45.000 per
sons were treated in the hospitals of the
Methodist Episcopal church last year, be
sides the ministry of the deaconess In the
home, and the missionary in tne foreign
field.
"And now the prison bespeaks our con
cern. Wo are fronted with startling
facts. Mrs. Maud Ballington Booth tells
us there are over 80,000 men In our state
prisons. For the criminal, no treatment is
adequate or Christian which does not con
template his reformation. Make him a
new man. That will suppress crime and
protect society. That is Christian. Noth
ing else will do. But how? Treat him as
a brother. Appeal to his honor. Quicken
his moral sense. Avoid any punishment
which Incites revenge or lower manhood.
Reward him for well-doing and demerit
him for wrong-doing. Let the sentence
be indeterminate in order to Insure time
for reform, and to release ilm when prac
ticable. Teach his fingers skill In the In
dustrial arts. Work saves. Pay him for
his toil. To have, strengthens manhood.
Cultivate his mental powers. Equip him
with might to conquer. Lay hold on him
by love. Lead him to Christ."
A conference of chapter officers was held
this forenoon at the Central Methodist
Church, E. M. Wheeler, of Providence,
R. I., acting as chairman. Speaking of
"The Secretary," George E. Dougherty, of
Topeka, Kan., said In part:
"The prevailing idea that any one will
do for secretary is a lamentable mistake.
If there were only one office for which
the league could find a perfect fit it should
be hoped that such a fit could be found
for the office of secretary. The secretary
should be an earnest, consecrated, faith
ful Christian; should possess all the spe
cial qualifications needed for other depart
ments, and, in addition, be a good letter
writer, have exacting habits of prompt
ness, be Intensely Interested in the league
and welfare of those about him, and
should be able to train others to do the
work. The secretary has the opportunity
to do more than any other officer to make
the league a power In building up Chris
tian character among those coming with
in itg Influence."
The Council Meeting.
"The Cabinet or Council Meeting" was
considered by Rev. C. L. Nye, of Creston,
la. He said in part:
"Under this division we may discuss the
whole question of the possibilities of the
league work. The success of the local
league depends almost entirely upon the
work of the cabinet. Wo believe this to
be literally and universally true. If our
leagues are In any place Ineffective and
"demoralized, it Is, almost without excep
tion, tho fault of the cabinet. The cabi
net Is the president's throne and right
arm of power. The wise president will
use It constantly and wisely. He will
call out the advice of every department
head. He will consult the pastor on every
vital point. He will submit every plan
of Importance to the wisdom of the cabi
net. He will wisely seek to control the
cabinet, for he Is the president. With a
wise president tho cabinet meeting will
not be dry In detail and perfunctory In
Its deliberations, but will be intensely' In
teresting In the consideration of new
plans."
This morning's session at the Mechanic's
Pavilion was devoted entirely to a con
ference of missionary workers, led by Dr.
Reed.
DR. PFEIFFER'S STOMACH.
A Philosopher Who Gives His Diges
tion an Annual Vacation.
New York Sun.
Be moderate In your diet Don't eat too
much. Last week the country'east of the
Rockies was full of tedious philosophers
and dabblers In hygiene who poured forth
these streams of disgusting wisdom. Who
wants to eat too much when the curse of
caloric has been laid upon him? Then the
problem of tho philosopher Is to find some
thing that he wants to eat. But there is
at least one man who needs no saws about
the dangers of excess. Dr. Immanuel
Pfeiffer, of Boston, gives his stomach an
annual vacation. Last year he allowed
it 21 days. This year he has kindly grant
ed It 30 days. Water It can have, but
no food. The doctor doesn't believe In
fasting, but In resting; and he believes in
the power of the will. No Christian
Scientist can cultivate the will more
carefully than this diligent trainer of his
own stomach does. The common herd of
men Is frightened after a fast of two or
three days and will die of the fear of dy
ing if supplies be still withheld. Dr.
Pfeiffer Is the master of his stomach and
his soul. He feels that he Improves his
digestive apparatus by giving, It a few
weeks "off." He closes for repairs. At
the ind of the vacation he will resume
business with Improved facilities, and his
first meal will be large and square. No
spoon victuals.
Like so many other conquerers, Dr.
Pfeiffer, doesn't extend into the atmos
phere very far. He is of the broad school;
weighed 201 when vacation began. He
has lost about a pound a day since. "What
I throw off Is waste," he says; "the good
part stays with me." His forearm Is hard,
Gracefully rounded as ho Is and of a port
ly bulk, he will jump up from his chair
and without bending his knees put tho
palms of his handB on the floor. A hard
thing for persons to do who haven't
thrown off their waste. v
According to Dr. Pfeiffer, disease, Ig
norance and sin are one and the same, a
trinity of evil. Are you 111? Stop eating
for as many days as he will prescribe and
he will cure. Such Is his theory and his
promise; and he asserts that he has
"saved many lives by It." Perhaps some
of his patients may have stomachs less
accommodating and tractable than his
stonyich seems to be. In him that organ
is a genius. When he stops eating, he
stops wanting to eat. When the vacation
ends his appetite returns to him, natural
and strong. Such a thing It Is to have a
good stomach, an Ingenious theory and a
resolute will.
ARSENIC FACTORIES.
Habits Acquired by the People Who
Work in Them.
Science Gossip.
White arsenic is the form in which
arsenic is taken by the peasants of
Syria and the Tyrol. Professor Schall
grueber, of Gaetz, was the first to call
attention to this practice, In a report
which he made in 1822 to the Austrian
Government on the cause of the numer
ous deaths from arsenic poisoning Jn those
districts. He found that arsenic was kept
in most of the houses In Upper Styria un
der the name of "hydrach," evidently a
corruption of "huttenrauch," or furnace
smoke. His statements made were subse
quently confirmed from personal observa
tion by a Dr. McClagan, of Edinburgh,
but for many years afterward the arsenic
eaters were generally disbelieved In; and
It was not until 1S60 that C. Heisch pub
lished convincing evldtnce.
Arsenic Is principally eaten by hunters
and woodcutters, with the object of ward
ing off fatigue and improving their staying
powers, owing to tne fact that the sale

SOCIETY
WOMEN
Break Down in
as a Tonic
Nervous
Miss Esther G. Lowe, a prominent young
society lady of Washington, Ga., writes:
"I took Pernnn in early Spring, re
ceiving glorious benefits from snmc.
Before taking Peruna I suffered with
catarrh, always felt tired and had a
dull headache. A friend of mine told
me of Peruna. X began taking It nt
once, gaining each day. I now feel
as -well as J ever did In all my life.
I advise all my suffering friends to
give Peruna a fair trial." Esther G.
Lowe.
In Society.
A woman in society Is obliged to keep
late hours. She must attend receptions
and bails. She seldom allows herself a
quiet evening at home. Her whole time
Is taken up in keeping engagements or
entertaining. In her own home.
Her system becomes completely run
down as a consequence. She soon finds
herself In a condition known as systemic
catarrh. This has also been called ca
tarrhal nervousness.
If every society woman could know the
value of Peruna at such a time, If they
could realize the invigorating, strengthen
ing effect that Peruna would have, how
much misery could be avoided!
Letters from society women all over
doctor's certificate, it Is difficult to ob
tain definite Information of a habit
which is kept as secret as possible. Ac
cording to- a Dr. Lorenzo, in that district
tho arsenic is taken fasting, usually In a
cup of coffee, the first dose being minute,
but Increased day by day, until It some
times amounts to the enormous dose of 12
or 15 grains. He found that the arsenic
eaters were usually long-lived, though li
able to sudden death. They have a very
fresh, youthful appearance, and are sel
dom attacked by Infectious diseases.
After the first dose the usual symptoms
of slight arsenic poisoning are evident, but
these soon disappear on continuing the
treatment.
In the arsenic factories in Salzberg it
is stated that workmen who are not arsenic-eaters
soon succumb to the fumes.
The manager of one of these works In
formed Mr. Heisch that he had been
medically advised to eat arsenic before
taking up his position. He considered that
no one should begin the practice before
12 years old, nor after 30, and that in any
case after 50 years of age the dally dose
should bo gradually reduced, since other
wise sudden death would ensue. If a con
firmed arsenic eater suddenly attempts to
do altogether without the drug he immedi
ately succumbs to the effects of arsenic
poisoning. The only way to obviate this
is gradually to acclimatize the system by
reducing tho dose from day to day. As
another evidence of the cumulative prop
erties of arsenic it is interesting to note
that when the graveyards In Upper Styria
are opened the bodies of the arsenic-eaters
can be dstlngulshed by their almost per
fect state of preservation, due to the grad
ually accumulated arsenic.

Mrs. J. W. Reynolds, Elkton, Ohio,
writes:
"I owe my health and life to Peruna.
We rarely call in a physician. In fact? It
has been years since I have taken any
other medicine than yours. I am afraid
of drugs, and although I have been sick
many times I have taken only your med
icines. They are wonderful Indeed. We
have a very large house and entertain a
great deal and I do all my own work,
thanks to Peruna." Mrs. J. W. Reynolds.

Protection for Extortion.

But no one of the protection leaders
neither Morrill, Kelley, Blaine, McKInley,
DIngley, nor any of the co-workers of
either of them ever advocated protec
tion for such competition in foreign mar
kets as our steel men are engaged in;
today. No man can cite from any Re,
publican leador or any advocate of pro
tection a word In defense of protection
for confessed and notorious extort' on.
Various products of tho steel combine are
sold all over Europe at much less than
the prices demanded from home con
sumers. That Is extortion.
