SAN Francisco, July 12.-The United
States steamer Ranger came down from
Mare Island today and anchored in the
stream. She has been ordered to Guate
mala on account of the unsettled state
OF affairs there, to look after the inter-
ests of Americans.
While getting under way to proceed to
sea this afternoon, the Ranger took a
shear with the tide and ran into the
Lombard-street wharf, breaking some
cross-beams and the corner of the wharf
shed. The Ranger had her cut-water
carried away about ten feet below the
knight heart, and also had her martin
gale stays carried away. She then
steamed away from the wharf at full
speed, and in doing so smashed the bow
OF her port steam launch and her port
midship boat, which were hanging from
the davits. Notwithstanding the mis-
hap, the Ranger proceeded to sea on her
way to Guatemala.
SAN Francisco, July 1.-THE U. S. S.
Thetis left here this morning for Guate-
mala.
AdVlce5 from Honolulu state that
there have been wholesale desertions
from the United States steamer Charles
ton. Natives were hired to recapture
the sailors, and all but eight were re-
taken. The sailors charge that the Off
GERS are altogether too severe. They
say they were kept below decks the en-
tire time when not needed on deck, and
were not permitted the use of the Ii
brary presented to them by the citizens
OF San Francisco. A man who went
with the ship as electrician, and was re-
duced in rank to assistant machinist,
seems to have been the ringleader Of
the deserters.

STEAMSHIP WAR.
The Pacific Mail and Canadian Pacific
Entering Competition.

SAN Francisco, July 12.-Manager
Johnson, of the Pacific Mail line of
steamers, said today that hereafter all
steamers bound to and coming from
China and Japan would stop at Victoria,
b. G. 1t is thought by the agents of the
American line that good proportion of
the British Columbia trade will be
secured by making Victoria way sta
ton. The Canadian Pacific in turn is
expected to extendits incoming and out
going lines, so as to include San Fran
cisco. It follows that freights will be
materially reduced, and that, in conse-
quence, business between China and
Japan and the United States will receive
an impetus.

0RUKkENEss FROM COFFEE.

DR.. Menoel of Berlin calls attention
to the use of coffee in a manner to
make his remarks of Importance. The
inebrie.y of coffee if not as dangerous
to others, may be as harmful to its
subject as alcoholism, and generally
leads to it. DR.. Mendel's studies have
covered Germany, but be 3asiiVen
special observation II the great
Working force in the guaIfaetofies at
Essen, where wages are high and en-.
ployment uninterrupted, and a
comparative degree of luxury is
within the reach of all.
The people Of Essen drink immense
quantities of coffee, bringing the
average for large portion of them
up to a pound week, many men
taking much more than that. The
reuslt is form of neurosis, in which
the nerves are disturbed in a degree
and manner approaching that which
| accompanies delirium tremens. In.
toxication is followed by gloom and
| sleeplessness, and about all the dis.
orders characteristic of acute nervous
arrangement, added to a hate for
work. AS in the use of alcohol or
opium, temporary relief can be had
by more and stronger coffee, by
tinctures of coffee formed by crushing
the berries in spirits; but the cure of
confirmed coffee drunkard Is next to
unknown, unless the final change to
pure alcoholism be counted as cure.
Troubles of this nature are said to
be much more widely spread than
one would think from the immediate
evidence. Most Of the stages of
excessive coffeeism are too obscure
to be apparent. And they are in.
creasing. Tea is merely a weaker
agent of the same sort, so that in
fact there Is no such thing as a cup
which cheers without inebriatlng.
Moderation must be the law for tea
and coffee as for alcohol'-New York

In discussing the steamship subsidy
bill In the United States senate, Soma.
tor Vest remarked upon the mistaken
idea, which he characterized as a
monstrons folly, that commerce fol-
lowed the flag asserting, on the con-
trary, that the flag so far from lead
ing, followed. Commerce, he said,
did not follow the flag; the flag toll
lowed commerce. This may smell in
the nOstrils of the rank protectiOnists
but there are so many ocular demon.
STATIONS to prove its truth, that our
friends, the enemy, may just as we'll
give up questioning the statement.
Take one little country to illustrate!
The commerce of Norway itself Is
comparatively insignificant, the
country being small and sparsely
populated, it's resources few and it's
needs cutting but small figure in
the worlds markets. That country,
to argue on the line of those who
claim that commerce follows the flag,
should have just enough bunting
floating around to represent the num-
Der of ships actually required for its
own carrying trade. Bnt instead of
that her tonnage exceeds by tens of
thousands her own requirements.
Her ships sail on all seas, carrying
all kinds of commodities, many vi
them not seeing Norwegian ports fol-
years after first clearing from one OF
them. Next to the English flag, per
haps no cOlOrs are more familiar tC
the sailor on the high seas, than those
of NOrway's. And why! Because
her flag follows commerce, follows il
up wherever it goes, is . constant
bidder in the markets of interna-
tiOnal trade. And Norway has NJ
subsidized ships either.
Her shipping has had a natura
growth, has been stimulated by tn,
development of the worlds carryin!
trade only. On the other hand, i
has been subject to no natural impe
diments has not been taxed, lik,
ours, to make it grow faster; has no
been hampered; like ours, by restric
lions as to where to buy ships ant
where to build them.
| Applying the lesson OF all this t.
our own affairs, we cannot help won
dering why the United State
merchant marine needs to be Dol
stored up any more than that O
Norway. And we are further force,
to ask, if the straight jacket of GU
shipping and tariff laws has no
stunted its growth as much as tn
freedom of Norwegian shipping from
all such restrictions; has enabled
that to expand and acquire strength
far beyond what otherwise woul
have been possi1le.-The North.

Mr.. Blaine ha~FS0iiio-sd up his
letter to the President in regard to
South American commerce with
letter to Senator Frye, in which he
points out the idiocy of opening our
market to the free importation of
sugar from Cuba and Porto Rico,
while our -four is kept out of those
markets by enormous duties. The
folly Of this feature of the Mckinley
bill cannot be Overstated, but Mr..
Blaine recurs to the disadvantages of
our trade with Brazil in terms which
require some correction. We import
vast quantities of coffee from Brazil
and pay for it in gold because the
BraZilians obtain most of their
manufactured goods from Europe.
Of course, lit would be an advantage
if we could export more to Brazil,
bat what we export consists mainly
OF breadstuffs and provisions, which
Europe wants but Brazil does not.
What Brazil wants is manufactured
goods, which it obtains in Europe
mole cheaply than in the United
States. Except that there is some
more freight to pay on transportation
anu some loss OH exchange, it Is as
well for us to pay for Brazilian coffee
with wheat sent tc Liverpool as it
would be to pay in wheat or manu-
featured goods sent to Brazil. Our
whole protective system rests upon
the assumption that our manufac-
tured goods cannot compete in price
with European goods eve n in our own
market, much less in a foreign
market. TO pay for our coffee in
manufactured goods is obvious
~ impossible until the cost of manu-
featuring In this country be reduced.
Europe needs our food products and
south America does not, so that.there
is no necessity for. shedding many
tears over an adverse balance of
trade with Brazil when we have a
favorable balance of trade with Eng
land.-National Democrat
