FOUR GEjlTS Headquartera for Dry Ooods CENTER OF THE FINANCIAL WORLD Depew Says European Wars Will Give New York That Position. LONDON FULL OF AMERICANS Tsty Dellsbt la Ceacklof Tkrontk tbe City Streeti-Maay Yankee Electric Rill raid Promoter Consult With English Owners. (Cnpyrijrhtcd. 1900, Associates Press. invimv Aue. IS. The tide of American travel is still strong towards London. .Many residents of the otn side of the Atlantic, having visited the Pirio ovnncliinn r recu Derating In England, and the hotels frequented by Americans are filled this week as they have not been eince the opening of the season. Coaching is the delight of most Americans. Since Albert L. Johnson of Brooklyn, N. T.. drove his six-horse coach through London there have been many candidates for similar honors. Among the energetic younger coachmen is Charles De Toung, a son of MIchaai De Toung. proprietor of the San Fran cisco Chronicle. Incidentally. San Francisco la abundantly represented in London. Aside from Mr. De Young's party at a West End table the other evening were Mayor Phelan. Walter Martin and Peter Donohue of the Papal household. H. H. Butler, proprietor of the Buffalo News, another enthusiastic driver, has bought a coach as a birth day present for his son. There have been enough American railroad promoters at the Carlton this week to carry through any scheme for rapid transit In London which can be devised. T. L. Johnson, of Brooklyn, came from Paris Thursday, and under the same roof were W. L. Elklns and P. A. B. Widener, of Philadelphia, (who have since gone to the continent) and Edward Johnson, representing the Edison Company. Those gentlemen have been studying the Central Under ground railroad. Mr. Elklns Informed a representative of tin Associate Press that he and his associates really had no definite plans for work In London, in spite of the fact that they have been in consultation with several of the .all read owners, The outgoing trans-Atlantic steamers today are crowded. Sjnator Chauncey M. Depcw sails on the American l;ne steamer New York. He spent the last days of his stay here In examining the new electric underground railroad. He has also been in consultation with British financbrs who are specially in terested In the ability of the United States to make loans in Europe. The senator said: "The sudden development of our in dustries and the immense accumula tion of money, growing -.ut of the fact that Europe Is paying $600,000,000 an nually for American products, have not only brought the bank rata and call loans up one and two per cent respec tively, but the Western banks are now buying paper In the East, because there Is no demand for money. - The fact that half the Brlthh war loan 'all If It had been permitted) was taken In the United Ftatepi demonstrates these conditions which have already made New York on?of the financial centers of the world. If the conditions continue, and I have no doubt they will. New York will soon he a dangerous rival of London in fi nancing the goverr.ru?nt enterprises of the world. "The rapid Information we are ac quiring regarding the Industrial con dition? nf the world, the necessity of finding a market for our Increasing surrltis products, and also our active rartlelpa'.ion In the solution of the Chinese problem tend to make Ne'.v Yirk an active competitor in :he srhemei" for the dPV?lorwn"nt of the far Vast. Tt Is a rwar possibility that the New York dock exchange will actively di al in many foreign stocks and 'bonds, The United atr, with ".000 miles of 'ilfH -froin European' governmental 'omplieatlons. . will never take a mili tant part In, the-"r!valry and Jealous ly and wars of Europe. These very miseries, the wars, make the United States every year stronger as a finan cial X.ictjr and. will, I teliev, make New York the financial center of the world. Up to two years ago the Eu rijcan cabinets took no interest In m. except Saturday. BUMT PEMVARD on the Lower Columbia. American diplomacy and finance. America was regarded as a granary In time of poor harvest on this sldv and as a dumping ground for surplus population. Now no cabinet in Europe makes a move without consulting as to the position of the United States In in matter. SENSATION AT HONOLULU. Arbitrary Act of Judge Estee Brings Up Question of Ownership of Public Buildings. HONOLULU. Aug. 11. (Via San Francisco. Aug. IS.) United States Judire M. M. Estee has arrived here and opened his court, and one of his first acts was to make an order seising a court rcom for his own use. the local authorities not having rrovid! Mm with one. Judge Estee ordered United States Marshal Ray to take possession of a room which has been the court of Cir cuit -Julg Silllman Th order from Judge Estee came after a good deal of correspondence had passed between his honor and Superintendent of Pub lic Works McCandless, regarding the finding of quarters for the United States court. The order has created a great rensatlon among the legal frater nity. It has raised the point whether the United States or the Territory of Hawaii Is the owner of public build ings here. The matter will have to be decided at Washington. United States Judge Este Is Coing quite a large business in naturalising citizens. Many old residents of the isl ands never changed their allegiance from the country of their birth and are now taking advantage nf the op portunity offered by the United States court A majority of the new citizens are of English birth. The British bark Dunreggan, which arrived here on the 8th, after a voyage of 145 days from London, went ashore on the reef off Diamond Head. She lay bumping on the rocks for near- y two days, after which she was pulled oft by the combined efforts of three tugs and her own windlass. She Is now safely docked In the harbor, with a leak in her bottom, but no very ser ious damage. SOUTHERN PACIFIC EARNINGS. Increase of More Than Seven Million Dollars Over the Year Before. SAN FRANCl?CO. Aug. 18.-Proba-hly the last official act of C. P. Hunt Instor. h-.fore his Jeath was to approve and Issue for the information of the stock and bond holders of the Southern Pacific Company a statement of its earnings and expenditures for the fis cal year ending June 30 last. The gross earnings of the company for the fiscal year were the largest In the history of the corporation, being $63,265,408. This Is an Increase of $7, 295,r,n over the year before. Operating expenses aggregated $40,923,274. an In crease of $4,8iS.200. Receipts !n excess of operating expenses were $22,343,134, or ar. Increase of $2,397,251 over last year. Local official? cf the company have been advised that Mr. Huntington's death will not delay work on extension of his Mexican International Railroad west throuph Mexico from Durango to Mazatlan, an important point on the Pacific oc.?an side of Mexico. INNER CITY NOT YET ENTERED (Continued from page one.) to recaptura the Chinese city at any cost, and the Russians have sent a torpedo boat to Port Arthur for re inforcements. NEW YORK, Aug. 18. A dispatch to the Tribune from London says: A Yokohama m"ssa?e to the Mail says that LI Hung Chang has sent. an Urgent appeal to Marquis Ito, asking him to use his good offices with the powers. The marquis ha rplied expressing sympathy but stating that Interference !s impossible at present. NEW YORK, Aug. 18.-The allies reached pekin on Tuesday night and attacked the city Wednesday morning, the Chinese having opposed their com munication with the ministers, says a Che Foo cable to the Herald. Tung Chow was captured by the al lies on Monday morning and they ad vanced within 8 mll of Pekin. The enemy fled the night before. The Jap anese took the arsenal and seized fifty thousand roku of rice. NEW YORK. Aug. 18.-Courlers from the front report that after capturing Ho SI Wu, the allied forces marched on Ma Tou, says a "special cable to the Journal and Advertiser from Us cor espondent at Che Foo, under date of August 15 via Shanghai, August 17. General Tung Fuh Stan with a large army, barred the way, but they fought him back nine miles, completely de morallxing his army and preventing It from taking any stand at M Tou. which was taken with trilling loss. Until Ho SI Wu was reached the march waa terribly hot and dusty, but since leaving there torrents of vain have fallfn and made marching ex traordinarily heavy. The American troops are suffering severely and many aw falling out exhausted. The Chlmse were preparing enor mous trenches at Ho SI Wu with which to, flood the country, but the rapid ad vance of the allies surprised them be fore they hud turned In the water and they dropped their spades and lied. The Chines army split Into three, one re treating to Pekin, one remaining to re sist the advance and the third moving south. The allies are led in their advance by a squadron of Bengalcse cavalry, big tiu-bancd Indians, who enjoy the heat from which the whlt men suffer. On Tuesday th-y turned the enemy's Hank and captured many .standards and bu gles, killing S3, Including one olficer. We lost only one horse. The Japanese cavalry engaged the enemy's front at the same time, acting as infantry. Messengers from the legations are getting through the Chinese lines daily and reporting to the allied commanders. They say the Chinese government brought strong pressure to bear on the ministers In an effort to Induce them to leave th? city and thus save China the disgrace of the capture of Pekln. General Chaffee- sends word to Tien T?ln that It is not safe to send on sup plies without a string escort. He says: "The British are sending up another lyddite gun and the Russians two more batteries. Th Sixth cavalry has been reinforced by two troops and the entire regiment has gone to the front. "I have Just received news from spies from Pekin that Gonenl LI Ping Hang and the Chines? Imperial guard are In side the city with 30 modern Krupp guns: that General Jung Lu and 10, ("0 Manchu 'ro.ps hold the forbid Ion city, and that 13.000 troops from Honan are bivouacked outside the walls. The total Chines? for-e at Pekln Is 14.000." NEW TORK. Aug. 1S.-A dispatch to the Tribune from London says: Perhaps If London had been fuller or If the weather had been cooler, or if we had not all been satisfied with sen sations of one kind or another, for months, the r.ews of the relief of the Pekin legations might have aroused some popular excitement. But, though the event has been very anxiously awaited in the clubs, public offices and the West Endall places which ar more or less deserted by their habitues Just now the man In the street lakes the matter quietly. London, which went raving mad over the rescue of Baden- Powell's few hundred colonial troops ficm the Boers, has not a flag or a cheer for the women and children at Pekin saved from Chinese cut throats. But, then, the contradictory reports about the legations have left the public In a state of complete bewilderment, so that they do net know what to be lieve. The Pekln foreigners have been massacred and revlv.'d so often In the telegrams of the newspapers and news agencies that at length some people have begun to doubt whether they ever wcr? in danger at all. It Is not believed that the leaders of the anti-foreign movement have sur rendered to the allies' commanders. More probably Prince Tuan and his as sociates, accompanied by the empress dowager, have retired to the west, un der the protection of General Tung Fuh Slang's Mahommedan troops. The muddle made over the landing of Indian troops at Shanghai has con tinued to the end and caused a great deal of Indignation In mercantile and financial clr?!'-s, where It was feared that the vacillation of the Imperial gov- enment might do serious mischief to their Interests and prestige In China. After a refusal of Viceroy Liu at the Instigation of the French and Russian consuls, to countenance the landing of troops, the transports at Woo Sung from Hong Kong were kept In waiting for a couple of days while the Brltnh foreign office considered the matter fur ther. On Thursday morning the ad miral was ordered to take the troops to Wei Hal Wei. He accordingly steamed away from the Yangtse amid the pro tests of the British and other foreign residents. But no sooner had the ships gone than a message was received ordr- lng them back and a torpedo boat was despatched In pursuit of the squadron. Accordingly the transports returned to the Yangtse and, It Is now said, ere to land their troops, or a portion of them, today. The effect on the Chinese can not be good, nor has England gained anything by the whole proceeding. Nothing Is officially known here as to the alleged armistice between China and Japan, or the alleged separate ne gotiations by the former power. It Is thought that what Is meant may be purely a military convention between the leader of the Japanese advance guard and the Tekln authorities for a step to be taken with reference to the release of the ministers and a formal entry into the city. CHICAGO, Aug. 18. A special to the Record, from Pittsburg, Pa., says: Mrs. Joseph Euffington, wife of the United StatM district court Judge of this district, today received a letter from Mrs. James B. Neal, wife of .Dr. Neal. now with the United Stat?s con sul, John Fowler, telling about recent developments in China, The letter was written from Che Foo, July 10, and !n it Mrs. Neal gives her version of the Incident when the Chinese warship which assisted the disabled battleship Oregon was authorized by Captain Wilde to fly the American flag. Mrs. Neal writes: vThr Is one good Chinaman In the woi Id. He Is Captain Sun, of the Chin ese gunboat Hal Chi, on which twenty tlx of us American women and children look refug while she was lying five mlls out in the Tsung Chow harbor. Captain Sah gave assistance to Captain Wilde, of the Oregon, when th latter grounded, and in rvoHrnltlon of his ser vices Captain Wllrtv gave the China man a letter bearing an official seal that for saving and guarding Ameri cans at Tsung Chow, Captain Sah and hi ship were unler American protee Hon. "While e were still on board the Hul Chi, a Russian man-of-war started In her direction. Hut Captain Sah ran up the Stars and Stripe, as Capt. Wilde had toll him to do, und the- Russian ship turned prwnptly away. Thcje were twenty-six American wonvn and children of us to cheer and cry when "Old Glary' was unfurled from the staff of a Chinese warship." SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. lS.-News has been received here In a letter from the Oilen: that the Misses Genevieve and Mlnnlw Ovlutt. tw-o San Francisco women who went to China as mission aries and were located at Wu Hu have succeeded In making their escape to Jaran. The letter also stated that Dr. and Mrs. Borland, who were stationed up the river some 200 miles from Wu Hu. are also safe and at present In Naxaukl, Japin. PUGET SOUND SALMON PACK.

'To the mountains our people In In creasing numbers yearly look for those days of relaxation and recreation nec essary to maintain the human ma chine In fair working conlltlon. Th languorous sloth of tbe seashore proves very seductive while It lasts, but many have decided that the an nual outing should provide not only radical change of air and surround ings, but also such stimulation of lagging energies as will provide brawn and vigor for the return to labor. For this they urge the mountain climb and ramble, the balsam of the mountain pines, and the clear, unadulterated mountain air. "In this direction the Shasta Route now affords a wealth of attractions. The entire line of road from Ashland to Redding Is studded with charming and accessible hotel and camps, where are cheer and comfort and healing at reasonable cost, and where you can hunt, fish, ride, loaf, or play with equal facility. "Or If you look for healing waters, none better can be found, hot or cold, than, the springs of Ashland, Colestln, Anderson, Bartlett, Byron and Paso Rubles. "Before vlslthig Europe, the people of the Northwest should see the glories of Yosemlte valley, and the wonaroua groves of Mariposa and Calaveras; the Parisians are likely to make In quiries concerning these attractive re sorts."
