Not MANY Destitute Miners.

Seattle. Wash, Sept. N.-From Cap
tain Downing, of the steam schooner
Excelsior from Copper river, it is learn
ed that the United States gunboat
Wheeling did not find many destitute
miners at Copper river and Cooks In
let. Commander Sebree, of the Wheel
ing, it is said, will report to the treas
ury department that the number of
men applying for aid was not sufficient
to justify the return of the gunhoat to
Sitka- Accordingly the Wheeling pro-
ceeded to st. Michael with Governor
Brady as passenger. It is not unlike
ly that prospectors may need aid later
in the year. The Wheeling and Excel
sior were at Orca at the time.

WHY GERMANY OBJECTS.
Thinks American Fruit is Improperly
Prepared.


Washington, Sept. 21.-Consu1 John A.
Barnes has written from Cologne to the
state department warning intended to
show packers of American fruit why
their products are being barred out of
Germany. He says that shipments OF
apricotS from Chicago, New York, San
Francisco, and San Jose were recently
examined by the authorities and found
to be prepared with sulphurous acid,
which is in direct violation of German
law. Consul Barnes reports officially
that: "a persistence in this practice will
undoubtedly result in the entire exclus-
ion of such fruits from Germany.
Stricter attention must be given to the
German laws. American dealers are
still shipping to this market dried apple
slices which have been cured upon zinc
frames. This process has been strongly
condemned by the German government
and the sale or handling of fruit thus
prepared interdicted by law. These
violations are suicidal in their effects
and damaging to the several branches
of American trade. 1t is the opinion
of importers here that in some in
stances American pears are also treat
ed with the SulphurOuS acid process.
TT is of no consequence that COM
petent medical authorities here have
decided that fruit treated with sulphur
Gus acid is not detrimental to health.
1t is sufficient for the watchful local Of
fetal to know that the law forbidS the
sails Of such fruit, and that his supreme
duty consists in the strict enforcement
of the law as he finds it upon the sta
tute books. American fruits are so far
superior to other fruits found in this
that it would seem an easy mat
ter for them to dominate the trade,
without a resort to practices which tend
to discredit them"

DEWEY'S SWORD IS READY.
Memorial to the Rear Admiral Is Of
Beautiful Design.


New York, Sept. 21-The memorial
sword which the government is to pre-
sent to Rear Admiral Dewey is ready to
go to its destination. The design, that
Of Paulding Farnham Of the house OF
Tiffany & Co., is, apart from its steel
blade and it's metal scabbard, executed
entirely in pure gold, twenty-five karat.
Hidden under the finest shark skin,
the grip of the hilt is laid with stars
by a richly carved gold collar and POM
mel. Beneath are the arms of Dewey's
state, Vermont, and its motto, Free
dom and Unity On the front of the
collar is the seal of the United States,
with blue enamel as the basis of the
shield. About the top of the hilt
wreath of gold oak leaves, the highest
decoration for rank, is set.
The guard is a conventionalized eagle,
in a claw that clasps the top. In its
beak is a wreath. Gold sprays Of Ros
Marinus, that mean fidelity, constancy,
remembrance, are damascened on the
scabbard, and at it's top in brilliant dia-
monds intertwine the initials, &c. D.
and Immediately beneath them in small
er brilliants the letters, "U. S. M The
blade, also damascenedS bears this in
scription:
1.-THE gift of the nation to Rear Ad-
miral George Dewey, U. S. N, in mem
1, 1898"
The blade is also ornamented with
a representation of the Phoenicfan gall
ley, the first craft of the worlds navieS.

beer. I was very much surprised when
the clerk refused me the beer as I had
drank several bottles in there during
the day and had drank more or less ali
during the week. But when KessOn
told Smith he was no spotter' then I
knew why we didn't get it.
That made Kesson mad and I am
sure that is why he took the book. He
complained Of them calling him a SPOT
ter and said he would make them sorry.
There was no plot between Kesson
and to take the book before we went
in. We hadn't thought of it,
Hurst then related the circumstances
that followed and his story agrees with
that of Druggist Keith throughout.
Hurst declares that Kesson told Keith
that it would take lots of stuff to Get
the book back and swore that he, Kes-
son, would fix more of the druggists
than Keith.
Hurst also stated that Keith had
paid him the $50 at Kesson's REQUEST
and that he had given Kesson the mon
ey.
The stories of Keith and Kesson tai
ly almost exactly.
Attorney Harry Stafford appears for
Kesson and Otis Hungate for Hurst.
GaIen Nichols has PERSONAL charge of
the prosecution.

SOME GIFTS OIL
Needed on the Troubled Waters of
the Nationals Affairs.

st. Louis, Sept. 21.-The stockholders
of the National Linseed Oil company
held a secret meeting at the Mercantile
club last evening. Nearly every St
Louis stockhOlder was present and it
is said that $4,000 shares were repre-
scented which is nearly one-third of the
entire capitalization of the company.
There was considerable discussion and
President Euston and the board of di-
rectors were freely criticised. 1t was
finally agreed to apgoint committee
of three to examine the books and ac-
counts of the company and to confer
with the EclIles and OlcOtt committees
in regard to plans for the reOrganiza-
ton of the company, if such a step is
considered necessary, after the exact
condition of the cOmpany'S affairs has
been ascertained. George L. Edwards,
J. H. MaxOn and F. H. Lurdiey were
appointed on this committee.
It was also decided to asses each
share of stock 5 cents to pay the ex-
penses of the preliminary examination
and committee, If a plan of re-organi-
cation is agreed upon and additional
assessment will be made.
The majority of those present agreed
10 the plan, but it was evident that
there was a large element present who
were decidedly antagOnistic to Presi-
dent EustOn eand the present manage
ment- Quite a number did not sign the
agreement to abide by the action of the
committee, and the meeting adjourned
to meet again, subject to the call of
Chairman Edwards, when the commit
tee is ready to report.

ANGRY WITH PORTER.
Partisans Insist Upon His Retirement
From White House.

New Haven, Conn, Sept. 21.-The op-
ponents of John Addison Porter in the
fight for the gubernatOrial nomination
are going to make an effort to have
President Mckinley request Porter's
resignation as private secretary.
1t is learned that Mr.. Porter, before
leaving Washington to come to Con-
necticut and fight the machine"
month ago, rendered his resignation as
private secretary. He wished to resign
so as to relieve the administration of
any possible embarrassment. The pres
ident refused to consider the resigna-
ton and insisted upon it's withdrawal.
He told Mr.. Porter if his mission to
Connecticut failed to return to the ex-
ecutive mansion and resume his duties
as soon as he had obtained rest.
There are I4eunsbury supporters who
say that it is true that Mr.. Porter did
resign when he came home and that
President Mckinley refused to accept
his retirement. But they say that the
fight on Mr. Porter ended when the
convention nominated Lounsbury, and
they are anxious for his support and
that of his followers. Instead of fight
ing they want harmony.
