same month they might have captured a couple of million centals of golden wheat, much to the encouragement or methods drowned upon by the declara- tion at Paris Of wool. barley and many other products they would have been able to secure more than enough to re- pay them for the risks. A feW mllioh cans of salmon from the Columpla hlV- er country and a few more millions from Alaska would flavor the Spahlsn tooth in a fine way.
 If {s interesting to notice the rich har- vest that privateers might reap in wa ters adjacent to this city, as revealed by a casual glance at the receipts or produce at San Francsico. In lo9i the receipts were as follows: Flour, D. $40 683 quarter barrels; wheat, 1O,S51, ,2SI centals; barley, 5,0S1,697 centals; oats. 545,S4S centals; beans, 5SS,l30 sacks corn, 342, ,537 centals; wool, S9, 4S9 bales.
 The foregoing is only one side Of the shield. for the clearances from San Francisco show richer possibility than the receipts. Nearly 100000 centals or wheat were shipped to various parts Of the world last year, a third as much barley and more than 1000, ,00O barrels of four. These shipments, had there been war. might have been seized by pri- yateers in the waters of many coun- tries. such as those adjacent to all parts of the United Kingdom, Africa, Aus tralia, China, South America, India, Ja- pan and the islands of the sea.
 Another great item is the dried and canned fruit crop. In 1896 the shipment of California fruits alone amounted to several hundred millions of pounds. The wine crop is large enough to make all the Spanish privateers drunk for year, and there is scarcely a field of in dustry that does not offer them rich legacy if they exploit their opportuni- ties with guns of sufficient caliber

There has been a great deal of specu- lation in local commercial circles Tor several days as to the probable effect of a war between Spain and the United States on the commerce of the Pacific Coast. The foregoing declaration re- news interest in the question.
 This Is a question of great import ance, owing to the fact that Spain and the United States are the only great maritime nations aside from Mexico that refused to sign what is known in international law as the declaration of Paris, a treaty that abolishes pri- watering and regulates maritime war. This was promulgated in 1856.
 The chief declaration of this famous treaty is in the following brief and di- rect words: "Privateering Is and re- mains abolished" All the European powers except Spain acceded to the treaty and the United States gave negative reply through Secretary of State Marcy, for the reason that the punishment of privateering, 1t was thought, would be a gain to nations which keep on foot large naval force, but not to the United States, where powerful navy was not at that time maintained, because of the belief that it would be a danger to civil liberty as we'll as a great and useless cost It was thought that the chief reliance Of the United States would have to be on privateers in the event of war with powerful nation.
 The declaration of Paris Is therefore not binding on the two nations that now talk of war, and tn re is little doubt that the beginning of hostilities would be a signal for the granting Of letters of marque and reprisal by both belligerents, in which event the Span ish merchant marine might inf11ct great deal of damage on the commerce of this coast as we'll as on that Of the country in general.
 Such warfare is necessarily very re- rocious. the motive being piunder and the manner of conducting 1t largely the same as characterized piracy in the old days of robbery on the high seas and plunder by conquest on the land.
 Woolsey and other great writers on international law have repeatedly pointed to the fact that the motives that actuate the prfvateersman are such as overthrow all feelings of honor and hiehmfndedness, for which reason acts of forbearance and heroism are rare, while the cruel methods of buccaneers nreyail to the subversion of the hu- mane methods of civilized warfare.
 The chief characteristic of a letter of marque is that 1t grants the private citizens who plunder the enemy's prop erty the prizes captured as his reward, and insures him honorable treatment as an enemy rather than execution as a pirate in the event of capture.
 It is said that Spain has more than ninety we'll armed merchant vessels that might be advantageously used for plundering American commerce in the event of the breaking out of hostilities.
 As there will probably be a large shipment of American gold from Alaska this year. which sum is esti- mated all the way from forty to sixty millions, it is thought that Arctic waters and the North Pacific might be a tempting area of the sea for the am- bilious Spanish privateer. Armed with

Deasy called attention to the noble work that was being done by the auxiliary So- ciety of the ladies, who were laboring to make the celebration in honor Of the pat ron saint of Ireland a success. He declar- ed that they were doing noble work in helping to raise funds for the Wolf Tone Monument Association. When little later, T. R. Zimmerman announced that the ladies auxiliary was also in session at dibernia Hall, where they were formulat- ng their plans, George J. Gallagher moved that they be invited to be the guests of the convention on Thursday, and the motion was unanimously carried.
 The decision of the executive committee in placing the price of reserved seats at 50 cents provoked quite a discussion upon the part of P. J. Kelleher and Jeremiah Mahoney, who thought there should be only one price of admission, and that a quarter. The sense of the convention was that the committee had acted wisely and their decision was sustained.
 The various memorial committees ap pointed to prepare resolutions Of respect to the memories of Dr. NJ. c. O'Toole, J. J. O'Brien and James B. Kenny pre- sented their resolutions, which were read and adopted by rising vote. It was de- cided that the convention should meet again next Sunday, and tomorrow night there will be rehearsal at 120 Ninth street of the grand chorus that will sing at Woodward's Pavilion.

WHAT 1T INDICATES

Nothing so interferes with ones plans or
ambition like sickness or poor health. Have
you ever thought that your kidneys may be the
cause of your sickness2 You can easily find
out by setting aside your urine for twenty four
hours a sediment or settling indicates an un-
healthy condition of the kidneys. When urine
stains linen it is evidence of kidney trouble.
Too frequent desire to urinate or pain i'll the
back, isalso convincing proof that the kidneys
and bladder are out of order.
1t is a source of comfort to know that DIR.
Kilmer's Swamp Root is the great remedy for
all kidney and bladder complaints. 1t relieves
pain, stitch or dull aching in the back, difficult
or painful urination, frequent desire to u%rinate,
scalding or pain in passing it, and quickly
overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to get up many times during the
night. The mild and extraordinary effect Of
Swamp-Root is soon realized. Its action is
gentle, yet immediate, the relief speedy and
the cures permanent. AT druggists fifty cents
and one dollar. You may have a sample bottle
