AMERICAN SHIPPING.
Bill to Promote the Interests Ofthe Mer.
chant Marine Service.
WAsuINcrnN Eeh &

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.
Senator Cameron introduced bill today
to promote the foreign trade of the United
States and encourage an increase of the
American merchant marine. 1t declares in
It's preamble that prior to 1885 traffic between
the United States and foreign countries was
chiefly carried on by American vessels; that
since that time the increase in such traffic
has been enormous, yet the amount carried by
American vessels has actually diminished; !;
that this diversion of traffic to foreign ves-
sells is due to a variety of causes which can
not be overcome by unaided individual ef-
tort; that the existence of large and et-
fective merchant marine under its own flag
and manned by trained sesmen always avail
able for naval operations is essential to the
safety and highest commercial growth and
prosperity of the nation that all important
commercial nations of the world have found
it necessary to extend government aid, and
in some form to Gevelope and protect their
ocean carrying trade, and the revival OF
American shipping will open much needed
field of employment to many and by provid-
ing cheap and regular transport to markets
not now so reached will enlarge the demand
for an excess of products of all American in
dustries. The bill provides;
Section One.-That the provisions of the
act shall apply only to vessels having Amer
lean register and conforming to the classifi-
cation hereinafter given and which shall be
owned and controlled by American citizens
or associations thereof or by corporations
formed under the United States law or under
the laws of any of the States.
Section Two.-Thar no vessel shall be en-
titled to the benefit of this act unless it be-
longs to one of the following classes and is
or shall, until other regulations are provided
by law. be built in conformity with rules
equal to the British Lloyds or French Bur
eau Veritas.

CHINESE GET THE BOUNCE.
The Anti-Chinese Feeling Breaks Forth
in Seattle, w. T.-Hapless Asiatics
Driven from their Homes and Shipped
for San Francisco. - Encounter BE.
tween the Militia and the Rioters.
PORTLAND, Ore, Feb.

PORTLAND, Ore, Feb. s.
A special to the Oregonan from Seattle.
W. T., dated Sunday, says: At last the long
drawn out anti-Chinese agitation has reached
the eliminating point so far as Seattle is
concerned. 1t was thought by many when
the United States troops were withdrawn
from here that the agitation was dead. As
the weeks went by without the commission of
anv overt act this opinion was strengthened
As events show, however, the feeling was not
even dormant, and the agitalors have been
quietly laying plans all the while. An effort
was made to put these plans into execution
today, though with what success cannot be
said.
An anti Chinese meeting was held Satur-
dav evening at which a committee was ap-
pointed for the ostensible purpose of visiting
Chinatown to ascertain whether the CITY san
itarv regulations were properly observed bv
the Chinese. The committee commenced its
work Sunday morning Headed by Acting
Chief of Police Murphy, and accompanied by
enormous crowds, which had apparently come
together BY a previous understanding, they
marched to Chinatown. The mode of pro-
cedurs was simple. The committee wouid
approach house inhabited by Cinnamon and
knock on the door. When the occupants ap-
their observance of the clty's sanitary regu.
lations. While such conversation was going
on the crowd would enter the house and begin
loading its contents upon wagon which had
appeared just before. 1t was useless for the
Cinnamon TO resist and they generally SUBJ
mitted with as good grace as possible
When their movable goods were loaded in
the wagon they were also placed on board and
driven to the steamer Queen of the Pacific
which was living ready to sail for San Fran
cisco. Not the slightest warning of this
movement had been given and the authori-
ties were totally unprepared for it. The po-
lice force generally sided with the crowds and
made no effort to stop the work of removal.
Sheriff McGraw was soon on the scene and
commanded the mob to disperse, but they
paid no attention to him. When he would
collect few citizens and attempt to interfere
the crowd would cease operations at that point
but carry them on without cessation in other
quarters. This continued for several hours,
Sheriff McGraw, Judge Green and the mayor
making such efforts a. they could in behalf
of the law, but without avail.

Consumption
Conquered! !
WHEN THE DOCTOR COULD DO
NO MORE.
CHAS. A. CABRERA, 80 Hawlev
St., Boston, Mass, writes:

Zone year ago | was apparently so far
gone with Consumption that my life
Seemed only question OF days rather than
months With my faith in the ability of
physicians to help me all gone, tried al
most every known remedy. with no appar-
ent benefit. Finally, as a last resort, was
induced to try DR.. r. C.. Flowers Lung
Cordial. The very first dose gave me re-
lief, and with the first bottle took new
lease OF life, and | can honestly say to-day
that one spoonful of this remedy is worth
more to the sufferer from Lung troubles
than gallon OF any other known remedy.
A bottle of it is now one of nv choicest
possessions, and at the first symptom of a
cough or cold, flv to it for the relief it
never fails to give"
DR.. FLOWERS LUNG COR
DIAL is without question the most
wonderful Lung remedy ever dis
covered. 1t eradicates the germ of
CONSUMPTION AS NO RENE
DY HAS EVER BEEN KNOWN
TO DO. 1t stands without rival

panies each bottle.

POLITICAL TROUBLE.


ST. Johns Catholic Church in Jersey
City held fair last week, and it was au-
nounced that silver pitcher would be
voted at ten cents vote to County Clerk
Mclaughlin or Director Govern. A lively
contest was expected, but when the votes
were counted it was found that Mr..
Govern had all the votes, 2,070 in num-
Der. The Rev. Father Ter Woert was
indignant when he learned the result.
He was convinced that the County Clerk
had not exerted himself to get his friends
to the fair to vote for him. Mounting
the platform to award the prize to Direc-
tor Govern hc express his pleasure over
the fact that the Director bad won it, and
his thanks to him for having allowed the
use of his name in connection with the
contest. But" he added, II have no
patience with that class of politicians who
drag the priests from their beds at mid
night to do their political service, and
when their ends have been served turn
their backs upon the church, 1t is UNI
derstood that the end is not yet and po-
litical complications are expected. The
fair managers had similar i'll luck with a
cane put up for competition between
Police Commissioner Otto Meyer and ex-
Fire Comm issioner O'Donnel. All the
votes cast W ere for O'Donnell. The fair
was an unusually successful one, and is
said to have nctted the church nearly
$4,000.
